Chapter 367: Chapter 266 When ’Eavesdropping’ Meets ’Mutual Teaching and Learning’! Full, so full!
"How fierce!"
Yan Chuan felt a chill on his brow, and in the next instant, more thoughts and insights about Qinggong and movement techniques fed back to him, vast and pure. After a slight reflection, he realized they were almost entirely "Shadowy Charm"!
"This—"
"Could it be Wei Luofang is here?"
Yan Chuan was taken aback.
He instinctively looked up at Ding Xiang, and saw her mysteriously falling headfirst. At this moment, she had already climbed over a hundred zhang high. If she fell unprepared, even at Postnatal Peak or Limit-breaking Peak, she would certainly die with no chance of survival.
Fortunately—
"Flying Bodhisattva!"
"Truly a bodhisattva’s heart!"
Yan Chuan saw, just as Situ Fei saw Ding Xiang falling, she rushed to the rescue without hesitation, catching Ding Xiang, her arms cradling her. Two heavenly proud girls, one like a goddess, the other charming, with their white clothes fluttering, were truly a feast for the eyes.
Seeing this, Yan Chuan had just finished explaining the movement techniques of the third heavenly pride. He seized the opportunity to explain Situ Fei’s "Sky Flying Shadow"—
"Ladder Cloud Jump!"
It was within reach!
...
"Thank you, Sister Bodhisattva!"
Ding Xiang lay in Situ Fei’s arms, her jade back soaked with cold sweat, overcome with a lingering fear. When she saw Situ Fei’s beautiful face so close, she was filled with gratitude: "This is already the second time Sister Bodhisattva has saved my life!"
Once spared my life!
This time saved my life!
And both times were because of Yan Chuan!
"Yan Chuan!"
Thinking of this person, Ding Xiang turned her head down and happened to hear Yan Chuan explaining Situ Fei’s "Flying Shadow Body Technique". She tried hard to absorb and learn Yan Chuan’s insights into the movement technique, especially the elegant and extraordinary technique he just displayed, but: "Why isn’t it here?"
Ding Xiang frowned slightly.
She had the "Mind Reading Technique", which could bind people, eavesdrop on their thoughts, and absorb others’ Martial Arts experiences, truly formidable. Three years and another three years, relying on this "Mind Reading Technique", Ding Xiang absorbed Wei Luofang’s decades of hard practice and accumulation in "Inner Power Cultivation" and "Lightweight Body Technique", earning herself the grand title of "First Heavenly Pride of Chuqiu".
Now, at the Cang Mountain Sword Discussion, with heavenly prides gathering, coincidentally, the three-year term was up. Ding Xiang planned to bind the "Mind Reading Technique" to another person, to advance her lightweight body technique to another level in three years.
An Innate Grandmaster has strong Martial Arts.
But it won’t work.
Her "Mind Reading Technique" doesn’t require daily interaction, but it must at least be within a hundred zhang to be triggered and effective. Wei Luofang mostly stayed at Chuqiu Academy, and Ding Xiang was also at the Academy, easily close enough to eavesdrop and steal.
But if it were an unfamiliar Innate, masters of all sects, or the court’s Grandmasters who come and go like shadows, even with a government office, or sect station, without a reason, ordinary people cannot linger within a Grandmaster’s hundred zhang radius for long periods.
Therefore, although Innate Grandmasters are good, the effect of the "Mind Reading Technique" might not be ideal.
Instead, peers among the heavenly prides, with high potential, grow fast, are easy to associate with, and if necessary, can stick together every day and night.
Thus, leveraging the "Mind Reading Technique", the areas top heavenly prides excel in can be entirely replicated by Ding Xiang, and as the heavenly pride grows, so does she.
At the same time, the "Mind Reading Technique" doesn’t consume much heart power. Ding Xiang can still focus her full efforts on independently advancing a specific direction, for example in cultivation techniques, she can devote almost all her time and energy to cultivation. This is equivalent to having an extra top heavenly pride in the world helping her cultivate, progressing swiftly.
With the "Mind Reading Technique" in mind, considering her situation, Ding Xiang picked and chose, finally selecting Yan Chuan.
She was aiming for Yan Chuan’s movement technique!
However—
"Where is the movement technique?"
"Why isn’t it visible?"
Ding Xiang frowned, concentrating, rummaging through a trace of spirit light, but couldn’t find it. Instead, the essence of the "Sky Flying Shadow Technique" practiced by Situ Fei drilled into her mind as if it were free of charge.
It was full!
It was full!
Almost overflowing!
Ding Xiang’s body was burning!
"No, no, no!"
"Not like this!"
"It’s not these things pouring into me voluntarily, it’s Yan Chuan pouring them in, hot and boiling."
"Whatever Yan Chuan says, I get."
"He’s explaining the ’Sky Flying Shadow’, combined with ’Shadowy Charm’ and ’Cloud Rubbing Thirty-Six Strokes’, while through the ’Mind Reading Technique’, what I steal is ’Sky Flying Shadow’, along with ’Shadowy Charm’ and ’Cloud Rubbing Thirty-Six Strokes’!"
Ding Xiang’s heart sank to the bottom.
Her "Mind Reading Technique" is extraordinary as it can "read minds", can "eavesdrop on thoughts". For example, in the first three years, even before she was apprenticed to Wei Luofang, even while she was self-studying the "Cloud Smoke Skill", because the "Mind Reading Technique" was bound to Wei Luofang, and the eavesdropping range was limited to "Inner Power Cultivation", even if Wei Luofang did not teach or pass on, as long as Wei Luofang thought about or practiced the "Cloud Smoke Skill", Ding Xiang could actively "eavesdrop" and "steal", thus in just a short three years, capturing the essence of the "Cloud Smoke Skill" and Wei Luofang’s insights on Postnatal and Limit-breaking Cultivation, integrating them into her own being.
Mind Reading Technique!
Though it requires setting the eavesdropping range to avoid miscellaneous noise at the outset, it is "active"!
Ding Xiang could listen to whatever she wanted, whenever she wanted.
And now—
"Active becomes passive!"
"The initiative is in Yan Chuan’s hands!"
"What’s worse, I seem unable to eavesdrop on Yan Chuan’s thoughts, only hearing what he says!"
