Chapter 65: The teacher’s kindness is unforgettable
Hun Tian Gang looked at Long Ao Tian: "Ao Tian, it's your turn."
Long Ao Tian glanced at Lu Chengwen and thought to himself, "You're up for it."
If I violate anything, whether it's a thunderbolt from the heavens, arrows piercing my heart, or being torn apart by five horses... it will all fall on me. You really hate me to death!
"I, Long Ao Tian, today bow before Senior Hun Tian Gang and form a bond with Lu Chengwen..."
Long Ao Tian gritted his teeth, "Brother of a different surname! From now on, respect the master, and love the younger brother. If there's any violation of this oath..."
He imitated Lu Chengwen, turning around, and said, "Junior Brother!"
Lu Chengwen hurriedly said, "Big Brother, you should point at yourself."
"You just pointed at me earlier!"
"Yes, you're the big brother! When we become sworn brothers, in the face of danger, you'll go first, and in sacrificing yourself, you'll lead. I'm the younger brother, you must protect me."
Hun Tian Gang said, "Right! Chengwen is correct! You should point at yourself!"
Long Ao Tian gritted his teeth, and Lu Chengwen approached, twisting his fingers, and pointing at Long Ao Tian himself.
Long Ao Tian said, "If this oath is violated, heaven and earth will destroy, and both gods and men will punish! Is that enough?"
"Not bad, not bad."
Lu Chengwen patted Long Ao Tian's shoulder, "Big Brother, from now on, we are brothers of the same sect. Let's forget about past grievances and start anew! You mustn't harm me, or else you'll face divine punishment!"
Long Ao Tian squinted, "So what? Do I need to do it myself to kill you? Xue Ning alone can kill you a hundred times!"
Hun Tian Gang said, "Good! Since it's like this, let me heal you both."
Several hours later, Lu Chengwen woke up to find that Long Ao Tian had awakened even earlier and was already cultivating.
Hua Xuening had been fed medicine twice by Lu Chengwen in a row, and both her internal and external injuries were recovering at an extremely fast pace.
She was currently sitting behind Long Ao Tian, guarding him, and her gaze towards Lu Chengwen was extremely fierce as if she wanted to tear him apart.
Lu Chengwen awkwardly smiled at her, and Hua Xuening turned her face away, but her cheeks turned slightly red.
Long Ao Tian exhaled heavily, finally smiling on his face, and bowed to Hun Tian Gang, "Many thanks to Master for saving our lives!"
Hun Tian Gang said, "You're both awake, good, good. Well, since you've become my disciples, I naturally have to teach you something. Chengwen, your foundation is weak, so I'll teach you a set of techniques: Wind Thunder Surging, Great Annihilation Divine Perception, Heaven and Earth Destruction, and Annihilation Palm."
Lu Chengwen was immediately excited!
Amazing!
Annihilation Palm!
How awesome is that!? Just hearing the name is impressive!
Wind Thunder Surging!
Great Annihilation Divine Perception!
And even Heaven and Earth Destruction!
With this set of techniques, even immortals can be beaten. Who should we fear!?
"Thank you, Master!"
"Hmm." Hun Tian Gang then turned to Long Ao Tian, "Ao Tian."
"Master."
"Your foundation is good, and your martial arts level is higher than Chengwen's. I won't hold back anything, I'll teach you a set of techniques: Little Monkey Fist."
"Thank you, Master... Huh!?" Long Ao Tian said, "Master, Little Monkey Fist is... an introductory technique! Isn't it... too basic?"
"Master cares for you and wants you to lay a solid foundation."
Long Ao Tian thought to himself, "This old man is playing tricks on me! Little Monkey Fist? Are you kidding me? Am I supposed to use that?"
Lu Chengwen was almost laughing out loud, clasping his hands, "Senior Brother, I envy you. Master is good to you. You must remember this favor!"
Long Ao Tian was furious, "Master, how about this? Since my cultivation is higher, why don't you teach me Wind Thunder Surging, Great Annihilation Divine Perception, Heaven and Earth Destruction, and Annihilation Palm? Let my junior brother learn the Little Monkey Fist to build his foundation. He lacks basics, as, for Annihilation Palm, you can teach it to me, and when I master it, I can teach it to my junior brother. That way, we both learn it."
"Hmm, that's fine."
Lu Chengwen immediately wanted to object, "Master, I..."
"Enough, Chengwen, remember."
Hun Tian Gang said, "Little Monkey Fist only has four levels. The first level is 'The Birth of the Ape King!' It focuses on body, strength, and energy. Once mastered, you can split mountains, break iron, and turn iron into gold!"
Lu Chengwen widened his eyes, "So powerful!?"
Turning his head, he saw that Long Ao Tian's eyes were even wider than his.
The first level is so powerful!? Is this Little Monkey Fist? Isn't this Sun Wukong!?
Hun Tian Gang continued, "The second level is 'Fiery Eyes and Golden Vision!' After mastering it, your perception will be vast, you can hear from six directions, see from eight, perceive the subtle, and be as agile as a saint!"
Lu Chengwen and Long Ao Tian blurted out together, "Wow!"
"Don't 'wow' just yet!" Hun Tian Gang said, "If you are diligent enough and have talent, and can reach the third level, hehe, congratulations!"
"How is it?"
"The third level is called 'Equal to Heaven Great Sage!' Your mind can move freely, with a diamond-like body, facing strength with strength, unbeatable! It's truly, slaying demons, commanding the world!"
Lu Chengwen was so excited, "Master, you are truly my dear master. What about the fourth level?"
Hun Tian Gang smiled faintly, "The fourth level, known as 'The Battle-Winning Buddha!' If you can reach such a realm, there may be no opponents in this world for you. You will have the qualifications to call the most powerful beings in the world your friends and brothers. If you can reach this level, hehe, by then I might not be around anymore. You must carry forward our sect's martial arts, and inherit the tradition of the sect. The task of saving lives and helping the world will fall on your shoulders."
Lu Chengwen hurriedly knelt and kowtowed, "Although it sounds familiar, thank you, Master, for your teachings. The disciple will cultivate diligently and not forget the kindness of the master!"
Long Ao Tian took a deep breath.
Although this old man's mind is not quite right, what he knows is truly amazing!
Even a Little Monkey Fist is so powerful. Then what I want to learn: Wind Thunder Surging, Great Annihilation Divine Perception, Heaven and Earth Destruction... Annihilation Palm, won't I be able to go up to the heavens and beat the Supreme Old Lord and the Jade Emperor?
Long Ao Tian was extremely excited.
"Ao Tian!"
"Master."
"Yes, you are the big brother of our sect. Naturally, I won't treat you unfairly."
"Yes, Master."
"The Wind Thunder Surging, Great Annihilation Divine Perception, Heaven and Earth Destruction, and Annihilation Palm I'm teaching you only have three moves, but each move contains the power of Wind Thunder Surging, Great Annihilation Divine Perception, and Heaven and Earth Destruction. You must listen carefully."
"Yes, thank you, Master. But Master..."
Long Ao Tian became cunning, "When you teach me, shouldn't you let my junior brother step aside?"
"Why?"
"These... exquisite moves should be passed down within the sect, everyone is here, it's not very convenient!"
Hun Tian Gang nodded, "Indeed, you are the eldest disciple of our sect, and you think carefully. Chengwen, you and Hua Xuening should go to the mountains for a stroll first. When I teach your big brother, you can come back."
"Yes."
Lu Chengwen felt a bit uneasy.
[Could it be that this old man is going to teach him such mysterious techniques?]
[Long Ao Tian is already the main character, everything he says is full of rainbows. Among the Four Gates' experts, if he learns techniques like Wind Thunder Surging, Great Annihilation Divine Perception, and Heaven and Earth Destruction, won't he be invincible?]
Hua Xue Ning looked at Lu Chengwen with a heavy heart.
"Master won't lose to you, this second-rate guy!"
Lu Chengwen looked at her, "Yeah, yeah, your master is so powerful! But the one who just saved you was me! Your master's first thought when he got the elixir was to eat it himself, he didn't even think about you!"
"I'm just a humble servant, my existence is to dedicate everything, only to assist the master in ascending to the throne! If my life can speed up the master's pace, I won't hesitate, no regrets!"
Lu Chengwen rolled his eyes dramatically, "Braindead."
"What did you say!?"
"I said I'm brain dead!" Lu Chengwen cursed in his heart:
[Darn Long Aotian, truly a favored child of destiny born with a golden key in his mouth.]
[Martial arts unparalleled, countless concubines in the harem, and four beautiful women willing to go through fire and water for him.]
[Poor me, heh, I'm practically dying, yet I'm always thinking about saving this person, helping that person. Who can save me?]
Hua Xue Ning glared at him and walked away.
In a few minutes, Long Aotian stormed out angrily.
Lu Chengwen took a look, seemed like things weren't going too smoothly!?
Lu Chengwen estimated in his heart that this kid probably wasn't satisfied, so he immediately walked over, "Congratulations senior brother, mastering divine skills! Oh, truly envious of senior brother, receiving the true teachings from the master! Just thinking about it is exhilarating, Wind and Thunder surging, Great Destruction Divine Sense, destroying the heavens and earth! Even exterminating immortals! Although this palm technique only has three moves, each move is Wind and Thunder surging, Great Destruction Divine Sense, destroying the heavens and earth..."
"Shut up!"
Long Aotian grabbed Lu Chengwen by the collar.
"Hey hey hey, senior brother, we both kowtowed to the same master, if you kill me, it's fratricide, according to the oath, you'll be punished with divine retribution, thunder strikes, a thousand arrows through the heart, torn apart by five horses, and someone spinning around kicking in the groin..."
"Shut up!" Long Aotian was trembling with anger, "What the hell Wind and Thunder surging, Great Destruction Divine Sense, destroying the heavens and earth, it's just names with grandeur and no value!"
"Really?!" Lu Chengwen seemed very surprised, "This name sounds impressive, Wind and Thunder surging, how much energy must that be?"
Long Aotian glared at Lu Chengwen, "You want to learn? I'll teach you. Here, left hand is Wind, right hand is Thunder, put them together and push forward!"
"Is that it?"
"That's it."
"And this is called Wind and Thunder surging?"
"Yes, that's what Master said."
"Isn't this Hadoken?! The Street Fighter move?! Ken and Ryu's ultimate move?!"
Long Aotian gritted his teeth, "Did you learn it?"
Lu Chengwen scratched his head, "Then... Great Destruction Divine Sense..."
"Jump up, punch with all your strength towards the sky, to prevent the gods from sleeping, that's Great Destruction Divine Sense."
Lu Chengwen looked up at the sky, gestured a couple of times, and thought, "Isn't this just Hau Ge? I know this is also called Rising Dragon Fist or Skyward Fist, we call it 'hau' back in my hometown."
Long Aotian hung his head, "Master is deliberately messing with me, I can see through it."
Lu Chengwen also nodded, "Then destroying the heavens and earth... no need to ask, it must be making you float and spin kicking, right?"
"How did you know?"
"Whether you come or not! Semi-circle back and foot press."
Long Aotian looked at Lu Chengwen, "What does that mean?
"It's all... moves from video games."
Long Aotian immediately got angry, turned around, and rushed back inside, "He even asked me to respectfully kowtow to him! Swear an oath! I'll confront him!"
