Chapter 396: The Creation of Fire
But it wasn't good .
The spear felt as if it was real, travelling between the void and reality, striking deep into Jiang Chen's soul .
Jiang Chen kept stepping back, very pale . It had only been a few seconds, but he felt as if he had been hit hard . He was gasping for air .
Others were also suffering . A guy pondering upon the creation of fire shrieked and tumbled to the ground as if there were a fire to extinguish, but no one else had seen a single spark .
Such effects plagued everyone . Everyone's suffering differed with the creation they were working on .
In less extreme cases, they knew they were merely suffering in their minds, so they managed to stay calm .
In the worst cases, they were like the guy who was rolling on the ground .
"Damn it . Why didn't the martial arts workshop tell us in advance?" Yuchi Hong vented his anger to the old man sitting in the center of the room with his eyes closed .
The old man didn't hear him, or maybe he had heard but didn't bother to respond . Either way, he didn't answer .
"The pain corresponds to the gap between one's martial arts of creation and the amount contained in the painting . As long as one can absorb the creation contained in the painting, one will be immune to the influence," Jiang Chen suddenly said .
"Oh?"
The old man squinted, surprised . He had been working for the martial arts workshop for very long and had seen many shockingly talented people, but not many were as good as Jiang Chen .
Others tumbled to the realization . They continued focusing on the paintings, regardless of the pain .
Then Jiang Chen took a deep breath . Fully prepared, he looked over to the painting again .
Like just before, the spear flew across the air with devastating power, intending to knock him down .
Jiang Chen gnashed his teeth, bearing the pain, yet it was as if endless wind blades were cutting at his body .
The pain became stronger and stronger, almost shattering him .
Fortunately, when the pain was almost unbearable, the creation of metal gushed out with the pain .
If he couldn't absorb it in time, he would miss it, and the ordeal would be a waste .
It's so difficult! Jiang Chen couldn't help wondering whether the martial arts workshop had done this on purpose or if it was naturally like this .
Sudden enlightenment through such a painful process was too much to ask for .
However, once it was achieved, one would be brand new .
No, it's not like that!
Jiang Chen realized the key . He shouted loudly, "Guys, being an integral part of nature, being an integral part of nature is the key!"
Being an integral part of nature was a status of practice . The creation of nature and martial arts techniques, the result of merging it with martial arts techniques, was known to be a terrifying fighting technique .
But this didn't mean that being an integral part of nature had nothing to do with martial arts of creation .
Once one was an integral part of nature, the pain continued, but one could handle it smoothly .
The other people there were all excellent . Although Jiang Chen didn't mention any details, they understood what he had meant at once .
Someone tried it for themself and found it worked . He shouted out in pleasant surprise, "Great, class leader!"
Jiang Chen didn't have the spare energy to answer him . He was reveling in a sea of the creation of metal .
"Good . Really good . " The old man showed his admiration for the first time .
"Damn it . "
Yuchi Hong wasn't happy about it . Jiang Chen had shown him up again and again . He felt frustrated, and he hated that feeling the most .
When one understood what Jiang Chen meant, one would think it was easy and reasonable and had the feeling of "why didn't I figure that out?"
Jiang Chen was immersed in his own world . His creation of metal improved from half minor doctrine to complete minor doctrine .
He ended up achieving the half great doctrine, and his pain alleviated, which he felt was due to pity, not luck .
People are greedy . He wasn't an exception .
The biggest change brought about by the improvement in the creation of metal was the advancement of his Ultimate Knife Method .
Knife methods depended on the different combinations of the creation of wind and metal . Jiang Chen had been doing great, but when his creation of metal had improved, he had found there were many things that weren't good enough .
Suddenly, he noticed other people were still working, so he realized he still had enough time .
He came before a painting regarding the creation of wind, but unfortunately, he didn't feel any pain .
It meant his creation of wind couldn't be improved any further .
After all, his creation of wind had achieved the complete great doctrine .
Then he, with disappointment, saw a painting in which a volcano was erupting .
The burning magma was wreaking havoc . In the volcanic crater, there was a fire dragon moving around .
After throwing only a few glances at it, Jiang Chen felt his body temperature soar . It was so hot that he felt like he would soon be burnt into ashes .
He had never studied the creation of fire, so this was normal, but when his body temperature rose, his phoenix blood boiled, too . The high temperature didn't make him suffer . Instead, he felt rather comfortable .
He felt an endless rush of the creation of fire .
Phoenix blood is really great, Jiang Chen thought to himself . Starting from nothing, his creation of fire had developed to the half great doctrine, as if he had picked up a treasure on the street, as easy as that .
By then, the old man suddenly stood up . He glanced around the trainees and said, "Not much time left . "
In the next few minutes, the trainees came back to themselves one by one, but some of them were still trying .
When it was time, all of the scrolls rolled up automatically and went back into the secret compartments in the walls .
They were forced to stop, even if they didn't want to . They looked towards the old man, nervous and expectant .
"No one will be eliminated . Take it easy," the old man said .
Many people relaxed . Then they all looked towards Jiang Chen in appreciation .
"Class leader, thanks for your tips . "
"Yeah, it was just in time . It was a wise choice to elect you as class leader . "
"I can't figure out how you knew that . I was totally panicked under the circumstances . "
Jiang Chen smiled as a thanks to those people .
"Huh, that's because you're useless . How difficult could it be to figure out what he said?" Yuchi Hong said in a harsh voice .
His reply irritated nearly everyone .
"You used his tips, too . How could you say something like that?" Tianxu rebuked him .
"Huh, I didn't force him to tell me . Can you prove I followed his instructions instead of figuring it out by myself?" Yuchi Hong said, smiling coldly .
"Simple . Next time, the class leader will only convey his tips through holy awareness and won't speak them out loud . I don't think that genius will care," someone suggested .
Yuchi Hong's expression changed . He wouldn't be as confident if they really did that .
"Okay . Don't say them out loud . I don't care anyway . Besides…"
Yuchi Hong suddenly stared at Jiang Chen and said, "You set yourself against me again and again and harmed the Yuchis' reputation . I'm going to duel with you . We'll start as soon as we leave!"
The others looked at him with strange expressions .
It was him who had been chasing Jiang Chen like a crazy dog, but he had made it sound like it was Jiang Chen who had gone against him intentionally .
"As you wish . " Jiang Chen didn't take the challenge seriously .
"You'll regret this," Yuchi Hong said complacently . He wished he could go outside immediately to teach Jiang Chen a lesson .
