The Human Emperor (200-400)

C203: Assault in the Middle of the Night!

The entire hall fell completely silent. That figure above had fallen into deep thoughts as well.

“So, what you mean is?”

The figure above shot Zhao Qianqiu a questioning gaze. As an instructor, Zhao Qianqiu had a greater say on this subject.

“Hehe, honestly, I haven’t given it much thought yet. This is all just my conjecture in the end, and this is only the first day. We’ll know what we should do as we move along.”

Zhao Qianqiu said carefreely.

“Haha, that’s fine as well. Indeed, this is just the first day. I’ll soon be returning to the royal palace to report events to His Majesty. His Majesty has been keeping a close watch on the Three Great Training Camps.”

The figure above chuckled.

“Hehe, I’ll bid lord farewell then. It so happens that I need to prepare some activities for that bunch tonight. Kunwu Training Camp is no place for fun and joy. They should at least realize this much as my students.”

Zhao Qianqiu chuckled as well.

“Hahaha, alright. But don’t go overboard!”

Hearing Zhao Qianqiu’s words, that figure above laughed as well. He seemed to have known that Zhao Qianqiu would do this.

“I understand.”

Clasping his fist tightly, Zhao Qianqiu turned around and left the main hall.

Shortly after Zhao Qianqiu left, that figure left Kunwu Training camp as well.

…

Time passed slowly. Soon, darkness had completely consumed the skies.

Meditating on the floor, wave after wave of Origin Energy flowed into the meridians and acupoints in Wang Chong’s arms, shoulders, waist, and crotch.

Dexterity-type secret arts focused heavily on one’s arms, waist, and crotch. There were many acupoints and meridians that had to be paved open, and what makes things worse was that most of them didn’t overlap with the pathways of strength-type secret arts.

The ‘Hexad Arms Technique’ was a high-tier secret art so the number of hidden acupoints and pathways one had to open was many times greater than ordinary dexterity-type secret arts. As such, the process was fated to be lengthy and tiresome.

If Wang Chong wanted to cultivate a speed-type secret art on top of that, the number of hidden meridians and acupoints he would have to open up would be even greater. By then, the total amount of acupoints to open in itself could already potentially number in the hundreds.

Given the overwhelming energy and time one needed to dedicate to the cultivation of all three types of secret arts, one’s cultivation would surely be impeded, thus limiting one’s ultimate achievement in the path of martial arts.

This was the reason why Zhao Qianqiu didn’t recommend cultivating all three types of secret arts before reaching True Martial realm.

However, Wang Chong was different. Back then, in the imperial prison, the Sage Emperor had bestowed him with two pills. The Zhuang Clan and Chi Clan had also each generously gifted him with a single pill, thus totaling up to four.

On top of that, he could claim quite a few of those unique pills crafted by the alchemists in the royal court from Six-fingered Zhang every month.

It was with such great resources that Wang Chong was willing to learn two or perhaps even three types of secret arts simultaneously.

The cultivation of the Hexad Arms Technique was difficult but the benefits were great. When paired with the Single Character Consecutive Slash, his fighting prowess would be multiplied several folds.
