Chapter 78: Vajra Divine Power (Dedicated to Is Shiki Kyouka, the Alliance Leader)
In the principal's office, Principal Lu Guangming, ever balding, held his thermos flask infused with goji berries as he scanned through Fang Xing's health report.
Seated across from him were a sheepish Xia Long and a quietly waiting Fang Xing.
"Principal, I was also acting on impulse when I took him for that health check-up... But compared to the school's instruments, your discerning eyes truly shine. Why don't you take another look?" Xia Long offered with a smile.
"Xiao Fang..." Principal Lu Guangming replied, his smile stretching from ear to ear, "Congratulations. Your future is assured."
"Thank you, Principal, and Teacher. But I still aim to achieve a good ranking in the Hundred Stars Joint Exam to bring glory to the school!" Fang Xing replied, exuding the demeanor of a model student.
"Excellent..." Principal Lu Guangming took a sip from his flask, a hint of a smile playing at the corners of his eyes. "It's very encouraging for the school to have a student like you with such aspirations... Xia Long mentioned that you want to learn the 'Great Vajra Prajna Divine Power,' is that right?"
"Yes! Ever since Teacher Xia Long mentioned the Vajra Realm, I've been determined to cultivate the 'Dragon Elephant Vajra Unbreakable Divine Power'!" Fang Xing replied passionately.
"Hahaha! If it were any other student, I would rebuke them for having wild fantasies. But in your case, Xiao Fang, there's indeed a good chance," Principal Lu Guangming laughed heartily, a hint of nostalgia in his eyes. "However, cultivating the Dragon Elephant Vajra Unbreakable Divine Power is no easy feat. Even if your physique and talent are extremely well-suited for cultivating the Dragon Elephant Art and the Great Vajra Prajna Divine Power, it's impossible to fuse the two in the Jade Realm... Most martial artists can only achieve this fusion in the Six Realms of Martial Arts, at the Martial Arts Golden Elixir stage, laying the foundation for the nine transformations of the Golden Elixir. As for you, perhaps you might be able to do it in the Outer Realm. But don't push yourself too hard..."
As a Martial Arts Golden Elixir, his insight and experience were extraordinary.
Xia Long, hearing this, couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
He himself was an example of someone who hadn't cultivated this divine power successfully in the Outer Realm.
"Thank you for your guidance, Principal..." Fang Xing was well aware that any martial art worthy of the title 'Divine Power' was implicitly beyond the S-rank and not something easily cultivated.
Even with his Attribute Panel, he probably wouldn't be able to attempt it until he reached the Poise Realm.
'If we were to follow the cultivation world's classification, Divine Powers are third-stage powers, meaning only Golden Core cultivators and third-stage demons could grasp them...'
'It's almost impossible for a Qi Refining cultivator to cultivate a Divine Power unless they are a once-in-a-millennium genius at the Foundation Establishment stage.'
'But if I can cultivate a Divine Power at the Poise Realm... Even if my cultivation level isn't sufficient, I should still be able to unleash two or three parts of its power. But would that be enough to defeat a true Golden Core cultivator?'
"Well... You can come to my office every Friday afternoon, and I can guide you on the intricacies of cultivating the Dragon Elephant Art and the Great Vajra Prajna Divine Power," Principal Lu Guangming said after some thought.
'Is the principal offering to give me personal tutoring sessions? Xia Long charges tens of thousands per private lesson, so a Martial Arts Golden Elixir like him would probably charge double that or more!'
Fang Xing's eyes lit up with excitement at the offer. "Thank you, Principal!"
He understood that Principal Lu Guangming was a Martial Arts Golden Elixir who still aspired to achieve greater things, which was why he had pulled some strings to bring Gu Yun to their school.
Now that he had witnessed Fang Xing's talent surpassing that of Liu Wei and the others, he was determined to increase his investment.
'In other words, has Xia Long pretty much reached his limit in teaching me?'
Fang Xing wasn't sure if he should feel relieved or sad about this realization.
However, having a Martial Arts Golden Elixir as a mentor was undoubtedly a great opportunity for him.
Moreover, Principal Lu Guangming was a powerful connection to have!
He was undoubtedly one of the most influential figures on Planet Hasty Eagle, his status even surpassing that of the mayor of Maple City.
With this backing, even the Disease Control Bureau wouldn't dare to touch him without solid evidence!
'Wait, why am I suddenly thinking along these lines?' Fang Xing berated himself inwardly.
"Excellent. I heard from Xia Long that you've already entered the Dragon Elephant Art and condensed dragon scales and elephant armor. Now that you've broken through to the Jade Realm, you won't be satisfied until you've witnessed an S-rank martial art," Principal Lu Guangming said with a smile, suddenly standing up.
At that moment, Fang Xing's hairs stood on end as he instinctively felt that the man standing before him was no longer the middle-aged, balding principal but a true Martial Arts Golden Elixir!
Boom!
An infinite amount of qi surged within Principal Lu Guangming's body, like a beacon soaring into the sky!
And amidst this surge, a golden light emerged from within him, carrying an aura of perfection and immortality. It illuminated the room, shining brightly in all four directions!
This golden light continued to expand, eventually resembling a golden sun!
'So powerful... Is this the might of a Martial Arts Golden Elixir? His aura seems even stronger than that of the Golden Core cultivator from Qingxu Sect!'
Fang Xing was deeply shaken by this display.
"The essence of the Great Vajra Prajna Divine Power can be summed up in one sentence: 'Prajna-paramita.' It signifies the attainment of the ultimate Vajra Prajna wisdom to reach the other shore... It transcends the five aggregates and does not dwell in the seven senses. It frees one from all suffering and detaches from all false appearances, leading to the realization of the true nature of the bodhi and the attainment of pure, serene, and autonomous enlightenment..." Principal Lu Guangming's voice thundered like a peal of thunder, each word imprinting itself on Fang Xing's heart.
Fang Xing's vision blurred, and he seemed to see a golden pillar rising into the sky.
No, it wasn't just a pillar, but a majestic mountain of gold! It emanated an immortal golden aura, with an indescribable charm.
"The Vajra is capable of severing all that is nameless and shattering countless delusions... Thus, the Great Vajra Prajna Divine Power is the foremost path of strength. By cultivating the first level, you can amplify your physical might, doubling your combat strength! The second level brings twice the power, and the third level quadruples it!"
As Principal Lu Guangming explained, Fang Xing gained a deeper understanding of this S-rank martial art.
Aside from complementing the Dragon Elephant Art and vastly increasing his strength, the greatest utility of the Great Vajra Prajna Divine Power lay in amplifying his might during battles!
It could unleash power far beyond his limits!
Of course, such superlimit power also required a superlimit body to contain it; otherwise, he might self-destruct before even reaching his opponent.
Hence, the Dragon Elephant Art was the foundation and prerequisite for the Great Vajra Prajna Divine Power!
"Just by entering the threshold of this S-rank martial art, you can double your combat strength..."
Fang Xing was extremely tempted.
After all, such a straightforward and overwhelming effect was right up his alley.
With his current offensive capabilities, a doubling of his strength would mean that beneath the Foundation Establishment stage, few could withstand a single strike from him!
However... A problem soon presented itself.
"Do you understand now?"
After his demonstration, Principal Lu Guangming returned to his leather chair behind the desk, holding his thermos cup with no trace of his previous overpowering aura.
"I don't understand..."
Fang Xing spoke the truth.
"It's normal not to understand; after all, this is an S-rank martial art. Back then, it took me three years to barely scratch the surface of it..."
Xia Long spoke solemnly, "So, for this S-rank martial art, just take a look and don't spend too much effort on it... The Dragon Elephant Art is already enough to occupy your time. This horizontal training art can increase your margin for error and give you a significant advantage in the Hundred Stars Joint Exam."
For a second-year high school student in their second semester, the most important thing right now was the upcoming Hundred Stars Joint Exam!
"I understand..."
Fang Xing heaved a sigh of relief. He had made up his mind to take on this 'Great Vajra Prajna Divine Power'!
...
Several days later.
The Glorious Jiang Mansion.
Mansion Training Ground.
"Kill!"
Gu Yun'er was like a divine devil, and the wooden sword in her hand burst forth with a dazzling blade light! The brilliant light resembled little fish swimming along Fang Xing's body.
Fang Xing, however, didn't dodge or evade. He casually stretched his lazy bones, and his tendons and bones emitted a dragon elephant roar as his vital energy and internal essence condensed into dragon scales and elephant armor.
The devilish blade light from the Ghost God Sword landed on the dragon scale elephant armor but was unable to leave even a scratch as it was bounced off.
"I give up. You're too tough..."
After finishing a set of sword techniques, Gu Yun'er threw down her wooden sword and panted, "Unless you agree to use a real sword next time, let's forget it..."
She used to enjoy sparring with Fang Xing, but now, seeing him break through one boundary after another and even surpass her, she felt a little displeased, "You've already broken through the Jade Realm, your vital energy is abundant, and you've even cultivated the Dragon Elephant Art... Do you have any secret tips?"
"The secret is persistent hard work..." Fang Xing saw Gu Yun'er's slightly pouting expression and flashed a brilliant smile, "Of course... The most important thing is my innate talent for martial arts!"
"Perhaps... your innate talent for martial arts really is better than mine..."
Gu Yun'er seemed a little dejected.
"Er... How was your winter vacation?" Fang Xing quickly changed the subject.
"It was quite fulfilling. I went to the black market a few times to gain combat experience... and destroyed a few illegal shops..."
Gu Yun'er started complaining.
Fang Xing, however, knew that there must have been experts from the Disease Control Bureau protecting her; otherwise, a little girl like her going to the black market would likely end up devoured without a trace!
In their conversation, Gu Yun'er also revealed the results of Fang Xing's fishing plan, "There are quite a few interesting things in the black market, especially a kind of talisman that resembles the immortal talismans from our ancient legends. They become effective as soon as you tear them open... I initially thought they were some kind of evil god items, so I immediately reported them. But after investigation, it was found that they didn't have any evil god aura or pollution, and they're most likely just trinkets from some other extraterrestrial civilization..."
The universe was vast and boundless, containing countless races and innumerable civilizations.
Even the stellar race scholars of the Federation might not be able to identify every race and civilization.
For the Disease Control Bureau, as long as they confirmed that something wasn't an evil god item, the matter would be dropped.
It didn't matter who had smuggled these extraterrestrial items in.
'As expected... they've been categorized as products of some special extraterrestrial civilization.'
Fang Xing heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this.
For him, this was perhaps the best outcome.
And it seemed that there were no cultivators in the Federation.
'Could it be because there are no spiritual veins here?' he wondered.
