Everyone tensed up when they heard this. Their displeasure at only learning the first half was swept away.
Those who'd made it this far had some self-awareness. Add to that the dean's careful exhortation, and they all grew nervous.
Yang Qingxuan recalled Lu Jiangpeng's repeated exhortations when he'd taught him the Goumang Finger. It seemed that his luck wasn't bad. He'd cultivated two profound ranked martial arts without any problems.
"Don't be afraid," Qing Buli said. "Do your best to comprehend it. Even if you can only comprehend one more transformation, you'll benefit immensely. If you really can't take it, just close your eyes. "
"Yes!"
Everyone answered in unison.
Qing Buli then took out an ancient scroll and held it in his palm.
Golden radiance shone out of the scroll. Qing Buli formed seals with one hand and sent them into the scroll. Golden runes immediately emerged from within and enlarged in the hall.
Yang Qingxuan felt dizzy for a moment before the entire world disappeared. Only the enormous runes were left in the vast expanse, like a sky full of stars, suns, and moons.
Each and every one of those runes seemed to be changing, as if a cultivator was forming hand seals while standing in the air.
At the same time, the sound of a string drifted through the world with a sudden clang. It was like a radiant illumination that cleared up one's mind.
Qing Buli's voice rang out. "I'll have Elder Wu Hao play this' Ballad of Jade Capital 'to help everyone calm their minds and clear their minds of distracting thoughts."
Yang Qingxuan calmed down and felt the martial artists formed by the runes begin to move. Each of them formed different postures while in the air.
He couldn't help but raise his hand and imitate the movements of the martial artists in the air. It was a subconscious action without any superfluous thoughts.
He formed the first finger.
His mind trembled, and he stood there motionless, as if time had stopped.
Only time passed slowly. Accompanied by the clear sound, it was as if he'd become one with the world.
After an unknown period of time, Yang Qingxuan finally moved.
His hand seals changed, forming the second finger.
The finger technique didn't seem to have changed, but his aura had changed greatly.
Yang Qingxuan's expression was calm. His mind was completely focused on the second finger.
Within the great hall, Qing Buli's eyelids jumped and he revealed a look of joy. He exchanged a glance with Wu Hao.
Seeing the changes in Yang Qingxuan's hand seals, the two of them were pleasantly surprised.
At this moment, there were more than three hundred people in the hall. They were all sitting cross-legged on the ground and forming the same hand seals. All of them stopped at the first change.
Moreover, many people were sweating profusely from their foreheads.
Then, the two elders turned their gazes and found that Du Ruo had also changed her hand seal and entered the second transformation. They both nodded slightly.
Qing Buli said softly, "The elite disciples of Regal Cloud Palace are truly extraordinary. I wonder what level Du Ruo is at in Regal Cloud Palace."
Wu Hao said, "The Regal Cloud Palace is one of the top five factions of the Blacknight Continent. It's naturally not something our Heavenly Consort Academy can compare to. Is it really okay to let Du Ruo know the mental cultivation method of the Beckoning Moon Finger? "
Qing Buli said, "The academy's mission was to educate without discrimination. Moreover, Du Ruo is now a student of our academy. We can't favor one over the other. "
Wu Hao nodded and no longer spoke. He concentrated on playing the Ballad of Jade Capital. The gentle sound was like a trickling stream, cleansing the heart.
After the time it took to brew a cup of tea, there were students who couldn't hold on any longer. Their eyes snapped open and they emerged from the terrifying cultivation, their bodies soaked in sweat.
The student looked around and found that he was the first to emerge. He immediately felt ashamed.
Qing Buli sent a sound transmission from afar, comforting the student. The student hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed in thanks. Then, he respectfully retreated to the side of the hall and began to meditate on his true essence. He also began to consolidate his martial intent.
Then, there were students who emerged from their meditation from time to time. Their faces were deathly pale; they had clearly reached their limits. There were also some arrogant people who forcefully tried to comprehend, causing them to vomit blood and directly injure their meridians and internal organs.
Six hours later, more than half of the students came out in failure. Their faces were all pale, and almost all of them had stopped at the first ten changes.
The students that broke through the tenth change were able to stabilize themselves for a while and then break through a few more changes.
As more and more people gathered around, the sounds of discussion also gradually increased. The topic of discussion was basically Yang Qingxuan, and many of them were extremely shocked.
"If I remember correctly, this is the 100th handprint. Heavens, he broke through the 100th handprint!"
"That's not possible. Maybe he's comprehending by leaps and bounds, and he's skipped by a lot?"
"Is there something wrong with your head? It's not like you haven't tried it before. Under those terrifying martial intent changes, is it possible to skip by leaps and bounds?"
"Quickly, look! Chen Zhen and Xiao Feng have also entered the eighty plus transformations."
"Du Ruo is also at the 90th level. Compared to them, is our talent really so lacking?"
As the chatter continued, the heated discussion became increasingly loud. But, the students in the middle turned a deaf ear to all of this, completely unable to hear anything from the outside world.
Yang Qingxuan was completely immersed in the movements of the martial artists that filled the skies.
His finger technique also changed. At the start, he was only imitating them, and his speed was extremely slow. But afterwards, it actually became smoother, a bit like flowing water. It was as if he were forming seals on his own, unaffected by the seals that filled the skies.
Qing Buli's eyes were filled with shock. He said in a soft voice, "How could he be so fast? It hasn't even been half an hour and he's already comprehended four or five changes, and he's becoming faster and faster! "
Wu Hao also had a dignified expression, but he was also pleasantly surprised. He didn't say a word.
After several more hours, there weren't many students left in the middle. Almost all of them had gathered at the two sides of the hall.
Only Yang Qingxuan, Du Ruo, and a dozen or so others were left.
During this meditation, although there were many harvests and some were few, they had all benefited greatly. After leaving the middle, they would sit to the side and meditate, digesting what they had comprehended.
There were even a few students who directly advanced to the next level after coming out from their meditation.
"If I'm not wrong, Yang Qingxuan has already undergone more than two hundred transformations, right?" A student whispered to each other.
"Not only him, it seems that Du Ruo has passed as well. The others have passed the 200th level, "another person said enviously with a hint of sadness.
"Sigh, there's no point in being envious. Work harder in the future." Meng Rui had comprehended more than 120 changes and had also broken through to the late stage of the Spiritual Martial Realm. He was naturally pleasantly surprised.
He could only marvel at Yang Qingxuan's talent and didn't have the slightest desire to compare.
Time passed bit by bit. Chen Zhen, Duan Weiwei, Mo Lan, and the others also came out of their meditation. They all stopped before the 300th level and couldn't help but sigh.
Only Yang Qingxuan, Du Ruo, and Xiao Feng were left in the center of the hall.
Yang Qingxuan's speed of comprehension was getting faster and faster. The time required for each seal was also getting shorter.
Du Ruo and Xiao Feng, on the other hand, were very steady as they chased after Yang Qingxuan's speed. However, their hand seals looked a little rusty, completely unlike Yang Qingxuan's fluid hand seals.
