Zhuang Ziqing’s surprise wasn’t due to the power of Zhao Xing’s Sound Wave Secret Skill.
It was because he hadn’t heard much noise at all just now!
As the saying goes, amateurs watch the excitent; experts observe the technique.
Zhuang Ziqing could tell at a glance that Zhao Xing’s "Folding Sound Curved Blade - Sound Knife" had reached at least the Seventh Transition Level, which was already a mastery!
The ssage received by everyone was more or less the sa.
How had Zhao Xing improved so rapidly in just a few days of training?
Could it be that he had previously trained in Sound Wave Skills?
Han Bing was equally astonished, but having a poker face, he appeared quite composed.
"Zhuang Ziqing, Han Bing, co analyze Zhao Xing’s Sound Wave Skill." Tian Shan took the opportunity to use Zhao Xing as a teaching case, smoothly moving into the instruction. "Han Bing, you first."
"Yes." Han Bing began, "Zhao Xing’s Sound Wave Skill completely contained the power of the sound waves."
"Until the collision, when the power burst forth and the sound grew louder, this Sound Wave Skill has great concealability in combat, because sound is intangible and hard to detect."
"Then could you discern its form?"
"Marquis Tian, I could not." Han Bing shook his head.
Marquis Tian then turned to Zhuang Ziqing. "You speak."
"Yes." Zhuang Ziqing said, "I saw that Zhao Xing’s sound wave attack was shaped like a knife, the smooth cut surface of the stone lion proved that its sound wave dispersed only after slicing off a corner of the stone lion."
"Not as Han Bing said, dispersing upon collision."
"Additionally, I believe that Zhao Xing’s Sound Wave Skill was not entirely free from dispersing sound."
"Only, the emitted sound exceeded the range that a Ninth-grade Human Clan could perceive."
"Zhao Xing’s mastery of the Sound Wave Skill is indeed notable."
Tian Shan nodded, "Indeed, your analysis is very accurate."
He was actually very pleased with Zhao Xing internally; this "Folding Sound Curved Blade - Sound Knife," though easy to start with, had reached the Seventh Transition Level in just a few days, which was quite difficult.
It required intense practice combined with talent.
However, as Zhao Xing’s teacher, he could not openly praise him in public to avoid instilling pride in Zhao Xing, so he expressed it through Zhuang Ziqing and Han Bing’s words.
But outwardly, he didn’t reveal it.
"Zhao Xing, although your Folding Sound Curved Blade - Sound Knife has been trained quite well, there are still many deficiencies."
"Dantian, lungs, throat, and mouth are the four key areas necessary for the formation of Sound Wave Skills."
"I just observed your spellcasting process using the Five Elents, and noticed that your Dantian was slightly too forceful, your lungs sowhat weak, and by the ti it reached your throat and mouth, it slowed down, causing defects in the formation of the Sound Wave Skill."
"Although these discrepancies are not much, it is these little deficiencies that caused the final form of the Sound Wave Skill to have significant defects, making Zhuang Ziqing and Han Bing hear the sound."
"If it were truly flawless, the ears of a Ninth-grade Human Clan should not be able to hear it."
Zhao Xing asked, "Teacher, how should I adjust it?"
"Your throat force and mouth shaping are already standard, but you need to correct the way your Dantian initiates and your lungs gather force."
Tian Shan said, "There is no shortcut that allows you to achieve perfection imdiately; these are adjustnts by a hair’s breadth, requiring you to find the balance among these four on your own."
Zhao Xing was pensive; he clearly felt that he had followed the thod described in the Spell Classics and had reached the standard.
Yet, the actual combat still differed from what he had envisioned.
He didn’t know where the problem lay, but Tian Shan had spotted it at a glance.
Later, as Zhao Xing reflected by the sidelines, he managed to further advance the "Folding Sound Curved Blade - Sound Knife" by another 200 points in a short ti.
Such was the advantage of having a teacher’s instruction, and the point that most envied in top tier talents.
"Heh!"
Zhuang Ziqing also demonstrated what he had learned in front of Tian Shan.
Zhao Xing took the opportunity to observe the actions of this talented individual.
His "Five Elents Observation" could not penetrate Zhuang Ziqing’s vital organs because Zhuang Ziqing had cultivated the "Yin Yang Self Scripture" to no small extent, and the Inner Five Elents cycled together, locking up all manifestations of energy.
Neither Zhao Xing nor Han Bing could discern how he was performing his skills, nor even Zhuang Ziqing’s grade.
But after the opponent executed the Sound Wave Martial Skill, its external manifestations were visible.
Zhao Xing vaguely observed that after Zhuang Ziqing opened his mouth, he expelled two spherical entities.
The first sphere ca out first and flew halfway before being caught up by the second sound wave sphere.
The third sphere moved even faster, reaching the point where the second and first spheres connected just as all three spheres ca together at the sa position.
In the end, only one sound wave sphere remained, which struck the stone lion.
"Boom!"
The entire stone lion exploded, shattering into dozens of pieces.
"Marquis Tian." Zhuang Ziqing, having completed his demonstration, looked at Tian Shan.
"Han Bing, Zhao Xing, you two co analyze first." Tian Shan still had the students analyze each other first, "Han Bing, you first."
"I detected the presence of two sound wave spheres, and the second one caught up with the first, quickly rging." Han Bing said, "Striking the stone lion, it then exploded, shattering it."
Tian Shan gave a non-committal look and then turned to Zhao Xing.
"Teacher, I saw three sound wave spheres, and the third caught up with the first two."
Zhao Xing recalled carefully, "Zhuang Ziqing must have cultivated the Secret Technique ’Yin Flute Nine Explosions,’ having reached the level of a third-transition martial skill."
"I observed that the stone lion was first partially shattered by the spheres; at this point, the sound wave spheres had not yet exploded but entered inside the lion before fully bursting, completely shattering the stone lion."
Zhuang Ziqing glanced at Zhao Xing, because he felt that what Zhao Xing said was correct, completely seeing through his technique.
