Chapter 198: Chapter 12: Dual Spells Unite, Divine Movement Protection, Express Delivery from Xier County (Third Update)

Taicang Institute.

By this time, the reporting had long ended, but Lu Bang and Zuo Zizhi were still busy; they still had to oversee the next step of the branch institute’s tests.

Both Lu Bang and Zuo Zizhi had military duties and took their tasks very seriously, so they would occasionally observe various treasures of the land to check on the enlightenment progress of the new soldiers.

They would even modify and adjust the branch institute’s tests based on these observations.

"The Wanxing Palace has appeared again," Zuo Zizhi said with resignation as he looked at the situation of the seventy-two palatial treasures, "Gong Wuhou is of old age yet remains forever young at heart, teasing these new soldiers again."

Lu Bang looked at the mysterious palace that appeared and disappeared at will and couldn’t help but smile, "It’s good enough that the old gentleman could come to Ten Suns Cave Heaven. If the other army commanders knew, they’d be more than happy for him to go and have some fun."

Zuo Zizhi said, "That’s right, he is the Honorary Deputy Director of the Earth Lake Daoist School, an old-brand Marquis, famous for three hundred years already, and also a third-grade powerhouse. Others couldn’t ask for him... It’s only because the Military Department invited him, and the commanders of the nine stationed armies went to request his presence that he deigned to sit in Ten Suns Cave Heaven."

"He has been here for three years, and the Wanxing Palace has only appeared a few times in the early stages of the new soldiers’ training," Lu Bang said, "You know, I’d like to go and comprehend it myself, but I’m not allowed to."

"Indeed, anyone above eighth-grade who tries to approach doesn’t even see the Wanxing Palace appear," Zuo Zizhi expressed his helplessness, "You see, he’s been living in the Wanxing Courtyard for so long, and yet no one has been able to knock on his door; he’s had so many people disturb him that he’s directly prohibited anyone from getting close. Truly strange."

"The older they get, the more they act like children," Lu Bang said, "Old and yet young at heart. When you and I reach seven or eight hundred years old, who knows what oddities we might exhibit."

"Seven or eight hundred years? I don’t expect to live that long," Zuo Zizhi shook his head, "I’d be quite content to live for five hundred years."

The two of them chatted and didn’t take the appearance of the Wanxing Palace seriously.

However, a few days later, the Wanxing Palace still existed and began to appear more frequently, which surprised Lu Bang and Zuo Zizhi.

"Hmm? Are those two youngsters from the Divine Might Army, Zhao Xing and Han Bing?"

"Is the Wanxing Palace staying put for those two?"

"Look quickly, Zhao Xing closed his eyes, did he just smile?"

"Could it be that he has figured out the technique?"

......

[You comprehended for several days before the Wanxing Palace and realized the intermediate-level spell ’Divine Movement Protection’ (special).]

[Divine Movement Protection: Intermediate-level spell]

[Progress: Fourth transformation (4253/18000)]

[Effect: Formed by combining Divine Movement Earth Palace Technique and Xuantu Protection Skill; upon casting, an Octagonal Palace is immediately formed around the caster as the center, or the palace can sink into the ground, traveling stealthily through earth veins. Fourth transformation Divine Movement Protection can stealthily move through earth, metal, wind, and thunder types of earth veins.]

"It’s indeed a Wanxing Palace, no wonder it’s so tricky," Zhao Xing opened his eyes.

Having realized the technique, he instantly understood.

The Wanxing Palace was somewhat similar to Ten Thousand Skill Spiritual Beauty and the Ten Thousand Skill Cloud Map.

However, this technique was even more sophisticated than the Ten Thousand Skill Cloud Map.

Of course, it couldn’t be considered a true ’Ten Thousand Skills,’ as it actually only contained the Earth Palace Skill and Xuantu Skill.

If it were a true Ten Thousand Skill Palace, it would have combined the four major categories: Ksitigarbha, Earth Palace, Split Earth, and Xuantu, and would have encompassed everything.

This one obviously hadn’t reached that level.

"The Wanxing Palace is already very strong, combining two skills. Divine Movement and Earth Palace Technique combined, this must have been created by at least a third-grade powerhouse," Zhao Xing mused to himself.

By learning Divine Movement Protection, Zhao Xing had essentially learned both Divine Movement Earth Palace Technique and Xuantu Protection Skill.

Since two skills were combined, the difficulty was greater, making such spells very special.

Its potential was much higher than that of common intermediate-level spells.

"Eighteen transformations for a spell, and it can be said that I have learned a technique on par with an advanced spell," he said.

"Such spells are even rarer than advanced spells."

Why are they rarer?

If Divine Movement Protection and another high-level spell were placed side by side and taken to the Li Fire Daoist School for an honorary title competition,

Divine Movement Protection would undoubtedly be chosen.

Because the barrier to learning Divine Movement Protection is somewhat lower, yet its power is the same.

Divine Movement Protection allows for progressive comprehension from a lower barrier, it starts from one and goes to ten.

But an advanced spell starts directly at the difficulty level of ten.

"Moving stealthily through earth veins, with this Octagonal Palace, my safety coefficient when moving stealthily is greatly enhanced," Zhao Xing mused to himself.

He remembered the person who had moved stealthily under the Ten Thousand Mile Thunder Zone’s ground.

If that person was tightrope walking, then he was riding a cable car.

If the two were to battle or pursue each other while moving stealthily underground,

He would be faster, and upon confrontation, Divine Movement Protection would clash, and the opponent would have to fall.

"This trip was not in vain," he said.

Zhao Xing smiled, his days of anxiety turning into delight.

Although he had wasted eight days, comprehending the combined technique Divine Movement Protection from the Wanxing Palace and immediately reaching the fourth transformation level was absolutely worth it.

"I wonder who the owner of this Wanxing Palace is."

Such a strong individual would certainly not be without fame.

But he didn’t dwell on the thought.

"Han Bing is still comprehending," Zhao Xing looked at Han Bing’s silhouette, still immersed in the chase. "I hope he can realize what he’s looking for."

Without disturbing him, Zhao Xing quietly left.

....

Little Nine Heavenly Gang Wind third transformation, Rolling Thunder fourth transformation, Divine Movement Protection fourth transformation.

Zhao Xing’s basic training had reached the pre-established plan.

After going back for a big meal, he hurriedly went to another place to comprehend, starting his advanced training.

"Fifteen more days to go."

"The goal is to have one of the three newly learned spells break through to the seventh transformation."

"If one spell breaks through to the seventh transformation, the advanced training will have reached its goal."
