Chapter 189: Shadow Lesson

"Oh, that's it, I said, how can you, a busy man, appear in the cave today, it turns out that there is a class. ”

When Situ Nan heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little helpless, "Brother Zhang, look at what you said, isn't it because of the special situation." ”

"I understand. Okay, it's not too early, let's go. ”

"Well, Brother Zhang, you go first. ”

"It's a bit of hypocrisy, let's go. ”

With that, Zhang Ping and Situ Nan went out together, and then he himself walked in the direction of the War Academy, while Situ Nan and Ying Chen went to the location of the Shadow Academy together.

"Yingchen, what is the situation in that place of trial, I just heard you say that it is a good help for practicing body skills and speed, but you haven't said anything about the specific situation. ”

On the way, Situ Nan thought that the two of them couldn't just keep silent and rushed to the Shadow Academy, so he found a topic to chat with Yingchen, although this kind of silence along the way has been many times.

"Is this? Situ Nan, you should know that when it comes to cultivating the speed of the body, generally speaking, everyone makes perfect with practice. It's like throwing objects or attacking to make cultivators dodge, and over time, the natural dodge ability will improve. ”

Hearing this, Situ Nan bowed slightly.

"Some people, in order to speed up this training, will gain weight for themselves, that is, strapping some weights on their legs or body to allow themselves to dodge in more difficult situations, so that when the weight is removed, the speed will also increase. ”

Regarding what Ying Chen said, Situ Nan said that he understood very well that when he was in the Xuanwu Empire before, he asked Zhen Pang to do similar training for himself, but at that time he chose iron chains.

"However, there will be a problem with this, that is, after removing the weight, the trainer will have a period of discomfort, but this discomfort is normal, take it off a few more times, and get used to it. ”

Hearing this, although Situ Nan understood the meaning of Yingchen's words, he was a little confused, what did Yingchen mean by this? Could it be that that the place of trial was used to improve everyone's speed in this way? Then it was better to practice by yourself.

"However, the way of carrying heavy objects is different from the battle in reality after all, especially some sluggish martial arts, which have a great impact on people like us, but simple weights can play a very small role in this regard, so in this trial ground, the academy chooses to use a formation that increases pressure, so the longer we stay in it, the greater our ability to adapt to this pressure. ”

"A formation that raises the pressure?"

When Situ Nan heard this, he couldn't help but think of the formation that Xue Ming had arranged when he tested his ability to bear before, but if this was the case, it seemed that this place of trial was nothing.

Because of this kind of formation that increases pressure, even if Situ Nan wants to arrange it himself, it is actually not very troublesome, it is just to spend more time, compared to this Shadow Academy class, obey the teacher's dispatch, it is better to arrange a formation by himself.

As if sensing Situ Nan's disapproval, Ying Chen continued, "But this is not the most important place in this place of trial, the most attractive thing about this place of trial is that it can temporarily raise the upper limit of the people in it!"

"Raise the upper limit?" Situ Nan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, what does this mean?

Sensing Situ Nan's doubts, Ying Chen explained, "Whether it is carrying weights or increasing pressure in the formation, it is to slow down our speed, so that we can explode faster when we are fighting in peacetime. But this place of trial can directly improve our speed and sensitivity!

After going through this place of trial, we will have more control over the speed at which we soar in the future.

And because we are feeling that kind of further speed in advance, we can use this as a reference in our usual cultivation, so that we will also have a clear direction and avoid taking a lot of detours. ”

After thinking for a while, Situ Nan spoke, "It means that we can temporarily improve our realm strength there?"

"You can say that, but we can only improve our speed there, and not the rest. Otherwise, I'm afraid that this place of trial will not be in our Shadow Academy, but in the War Academy, after all, although the War, Shadow, and Formation Academies are collectively known as the three major academies of Menglan Academy, in fact, the War College is still at the forefront. ”

Regarding what Ying Chen said, Situ Nan understood, after all, no matter how important the other two things were, the most basic monk cultivation was the most fundamental existence!

As for that place of trial, Situ Nan was a little interested, could he raise the upper limit of his speed? This kind of thing is rarely heard.

Soon, with the exchange between the two, Situ Nan followed Yingchen to a large courtyard in the Shadow Academy.

He and Shadow didn't notice that when the two of them entered the Shadow Academy, one of them followed.

After entering the courtyard, Situ Nan suddenly found that there were more than 20 people here, standing in twos and threes in the courtyard, some were whispering to each other, and some were closing their eyes to recuperate.

Ying Chen looked around for a moment before he said to Situ Nan, "The teacher hasn't come yet, wait a minute." ”

Hearing this, Situ Nan bowed slightly.

It didn't take long for a few more students to enter the courtyard, and a middle-aged man appeared in everyone's sight.

After he appeared, the students in the audience all said, "Teacher Li is good." Even Situ Nan had already known the name of this teacher, Li Hao, in the previous communication with Yingchen.

Li Hao didn't react to everyone's greetings, and after looking around, his gaze stayed on someone's body for a moment, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he looked away, and finally stopped at Situ Nan's body.

"You don't seem to be my student. ”

As Li Hao's voice sounded, the people around him also followed his gaze to Situ Nan, several people had seen Situ Nan at the gate of Cave No. 6 before, or in the ring area, and they were introducing what they had learned to the people around them at this time.

At this time, Ying Chen said, "Teacher Li, his name is Situ Nan, he couldn't come to class during the last class, this is the first time he has come." ”

When Li Hao heard this, he said lightly, "If you don't want to, you can not use my courses in the future, as long as you can pass the assessment of the academy at the end of the semester, I can't care about you, after all, you are a busy person." ”

After speaking, Li Hao looked at Situ Nan and retracted his gaze, and said to the others, "Okay, let's start class, we have already said before, as a member of the Shadow Academy, the speed is our ......."

As Li Hao began to speak, Yingchen turned his head and whispered to Situ Nan, "Teacher Li is actually a good person, the words he said before are his style, you will know later." ”

Hearing this, Situ Nan bowed his head slightly, he didn't care too much about Li Hao's slightly mean words before, after all, if he was the other party, he wouldn't have any good impression of a student who didn't come to the first class for no reason.

But there was nothing he could do about this, after all, the last time he took the class, it was the time when he was called by Xue Ming to go to the No. 1 Cave Mansion to receive the reward, and he had that thing at that time, so naturally he couldn't come here to take the class.

In the following time, this teacher Li Hao explained what qualities he should have as a student of the Shadow Academy and how to obtain these qualities.

Although to Situ Nan's ears, the other party's narration was talking about the qualities that a killer or an assassin should have.

However, there is one thing to say, although Situ Nan is very clear about many things that the other party said, he has to admit that the other party's teaching ability is still very strong, although it is not as high as Xue Ming's lofty realm in the way of formation, but it is more than enough to teach a group of freshmen who have entered the realm.

And when the other party talked about some of his own experiences, even with Situ Nan's knowledge, he nodded frequently, knowing that the other party's experience had its own mysteries.

In this regard, Situ Nan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, in an academy of the level of Qinglong Academy, the teachers who can teach here have two brushes after all.

Even the teacher who had some problems with his moral cultivation before, thinking about it, must have some of his own uniqueness in terms of formation.

Despite this, Situ Nan still won't change his original plan, and he is still not prepared to listen to these courses, after all, although these people's experience is good, it is limited after all, and the role of Situ Nan is also limited.

Li Hao's time to tell is not long, but it is not short, Situ Nan listened to it with relish during this time.

Soon, the other party finished his lecture on this knowledge and said, "Okay, let's go into each room and try to practice, I know that many of you have come to my class for this, so I hope you can get enough in it."

In addition, there is another point, I already said it in the last class, but this time, I have to say it again, in it, how big your heart is, how big your limit will be!"

When the words fell, Li Hao waved his hand, and the doors of each room at the edge of the courtyard were opened, and a distorted light curtain appeared on the door, making it impossible to see the scene inside the room.

As the doors of these rooms opened, many people in the courtyard immediately entered those rooms, and Yingchen next to Situ Nan also signaled to Situ Nan and entered one of the rooms.

Seeing this, Situ Nan also followed in.

After stepping into the door, Situ Nan found that the people in the courtyard had all appeared in a circular area, and beside them, there were three light gates standing, and at this time, many students had already entered towards the light gates.

The vast majority of the students entered towards the middle of the three light gates.

At this time, Ying Chen was also beside Situ Nan and said to him, "The light gate on the left, after entering, there will be a pressure increase, which is equivalent to weight-bearing exercises."

The light gate in the middle is the kind of light gate I told you before, which can break through the limit.

As for the light gate on the right, no one has ever entered it, so I don't know the details of it. ”

"Oh?" Situ Nan was slightly stunned when he heard this, he was more curious about why no one entered the light door on the far right, but at this time, listening to Yingchen's words, it was not because the light gate was not liked by anyone, but because no one could enter, which surprised Situ Nan.

If you can't let people in, why do you want to stand in this place?

Perhaps guessing Situ Nan's doubts, Ying Chen continued, "It is said that in order to enter the light gate on the far right, there are some conditions that need to be met in the middle light gate, but so far, no one has been able to meet this condition. ”

Situ Nan bowed slightly, agreeing with this statement.

"Not to mention this, Teacher Li has asked that although we can continue to cultivate here for three hours, at least half of them need to be cultivated in this light gate on the left, otherwise the next class, the student will not be allowed to enter. So when the time comes, don't forget the time. ”

"Is there any more request for this?"

"Of course, otherwise why do you think some people would go to the light gate on the left. ”

"Yes. ”

Situ Nan nodded, and then said to Yingchen, "In that case, why don't we go first to the light gate on the left, and when the time is up, enter the light gate in the middle?"

"Okay, then let's go to the left first. ”

As he spoke, Ying Chen walked into the light gate on the left with Situ Nan.

With a flash of light, the two of them suddenly appeared in front of a high mountain, and in front of them, there was a staircase to the sky!

Looking at the ladder in front of him, Ying Chen said, "After stepping on it, we will feel the pressure, the first ten steps are for us to adapt, so there will be no attacks." After the tenth order, there will be different attacks, so remember to be careful when the time comes. ”

Hearing this, Situ Nan bowed slightly.

Seeing this, Yingchen didn't say anything more, this kind of thing, just mention a little bit, specifically, let's wait for Situ Nan to experience it himself.

Turning his head, Yingchen was the first to step on the stairs, he walked very fast, and in an instant, he stepped over the first ten stairs and entered the eleventh staircase.

Situ Nan watched for a while, and found that Ying Chen shook his body from time to time on the stairs, as if he was dodging some attacks, but perhaps because of the particularity of this place, he couldn't really see those attacks.

After looking at it for a while, Situ Nan found that he couldn't see the reason, so he withdrew his gaze, raised his steps, and stepped towards the stairs in front of him.

"Whew. ”

I saw Situ Nan stepping on the stairs in front of him with one foot very neatly, but to Situ Nan's surprise, the pressure he expected did not appear, which made Situ Nan stunned.

While feeling a little surprised in his heart, Situ Nan raised his other foot and stepped on the long staircase in front of him, the first step.

"Hmph~"

When Situ Nan stepped on the stairs with both of his feet, a pressure suddenly appeared, and because of the suddenness of the incident, Situ Nan couldn't help but snort.

When Situ Nan got used to this pressure, he silently felt it, and found that this pressure was only stronger at the beginning, but after that, it became ordinary and did not cause him any trouble.

At this moment, Yingchen, who was above him, turned around and smiled at him.

Seeing this smile, Situ Nan immediately knew that Yingchen must have known the peculiarity of the first layer of this ladder, but before that, the other party didn't tell him.

Situ Nan didn't pay too much attention to this, because he knew that this kind of thing, not to say it was better than to say it, after all, this is not a dangerous place, the trial, a little accident is better!

After adapting to the pressure of this layer, Situ Nan continued to raise his feet and walk up, because the pressure increase in the next few layers was not very large, so Situ Nan walked very fast, almost instantly, and came to the tenth step.

Standing on this staircase, Situ Nan paused, because he still remembered what Ying Chen said to him before, and when he thought that the other party didn't say anything about the abnormal situation of the first step, but he just told him that there would be a change after the tenth step, which showed that this tenth step would cause a lot of trouble to Situ Nan.

At this time, since Yingchen had already walked to the back of the stairs, the occasional attacks at that time also began to increase, so that he did not have too much energy to pay attention to Situ Nan's dynamics.

But he wasn't too nervous about this, the big deal was that Situ Nan didn't notice that he was hit by an attack for a while, and this kind of attack was not fatal, or even hurtful, it would just kick people out of the ladder and start all over again.

......

"Oh," another sound of footsteps on the ground came out, and at this time, one of Situ Nan's feet had already stepped on the eleventh step, and as before, the state was no different from the tenth step.

Mentally tensed, Situ Nan was alert to possible attacks around him, raised his foot, and prepared to step this foot onto the next step.

At the moment when he lifted this foot, at the left end of his body, there was a sudden wave of air, and then a strong force came towards Situ Nan's head.

Because Situ Nan was well prepared, even if this attack appeared extremely suddenly, even beyond Situ Nan's expectations, and appeared before his other foot stepped on the stairs, he was still dodged by Situ Nan.

I saw Situ Nan standing on the ground with one foot, the other foot hanging in the air, and at the same time, his waist exerted force, and the entire upper body shrank downward, so that the force that attacked his head swept over his head.

After dodging this attack, Situ Nan returned to his normal standing posture, and at the same time put his foot on the eleventh order.

At the moment when he stepped on his legs, the pressure suddenly increased again!

If the increase in each step was 10% before, then this time, it has been doubled!

Not only that, but the attacks that had appeared before appeared again, and on the left and right sides of his body, a space fluctuation appeared, attacking towards Situ Nan.

In this regard, Situ Nan directly turned his body halfway, and then came to an iron plate bridge posture, so that the two attacks passed through his abdomen one after another, and fell into the air again.

After dodging these two attacks, Situ Nan didn't stand firmly, and directly lay down on the steps.

But fortunately, no one was watching Situ Nan at this time, and no one saw this embarrassing scene.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, Situ Nan turned over and stood on this step again, although the pressure here is good, but for Situ Nan, it is still not enough!

Before this, the pressure provided by Xue Ming to him had far exceeded this level, so the pressure at this time was far from enough for Situ Nan, otherwise he would not have been able to have a carp here.

In the next time, Situ Nan kept moving upward, and walked a full twenty-nine steps before he stopped.

Stopping in this place is not because of the pressure that exists here, after all, although the pressure here is already good, for Situ Nan, it is far from reaching his limit.

But in this position, the pressure was enough to slow down his speed to a large extent, and the random attacks that existed around him made it impossible for Situ Nan to stand on this step anymore.

For these attacks, Situ Nan was able to detect them before they hit him, but he couldn't dodge.

So in the later time, Situ Nan has been trying on this step, trying to improve his reaction speed, and absolute speed.

However, he did not practice on his own extreme steps, but retreated a few steps, because if he was on the extreme steps, then he was not practicing reaction speed, but practicing the ability to resist hits.

......

"Situ Nan, half an hour has arrived. Situ Nan was practicing and trying, but a person suddenly walked down the stairs above, walked up to him and said to him.

Situ Nan raised his eyes and saw Yingchen standing in front of him.

After concentrating, Situ Nan bowed slightly towards the other party, and then walked downward, and soon, the two returned to the original place, outside the ladder to the sky.

After returning here, Ying Chen asked Situ Nan, "How do you feel?" Before he was on the top of the ladder, due to the pressure, it would not be so easy to communicate, so he didn't ask before.

"It's not bad, but the training here is good, but it's too reproducible, and it's not difficult to find it elsewhere, or even set up a place like this. ”

Hearing this, Ying Chen bowed slightly, "That's true, that's why there are so few people here, with this time, everyone will go to the light gate in the middle to experience the feeling of transcending the limit, after all, the environment there is difficult to arrange outside." ”
