The seven disciples reacted differently to their teacher Xin's guidance.
Ning Rongrong pursed her small lips: "Junior Sister Zhuqing, it's not that easy to find my weak point! Only Teacher has seen my weak point, and only Teacher can break it!"
Zhu Zhuqing: "Teacher's fingers are strong and tough, and my fingers are not necessarily soft!"
Meng Yiran: "Teacher, I have already grasped some of the Spirit Snake's essence. Please guide me on my serpent path."
Dugu Yan: "Your snake staff path is indeed impressive, but my serpent path is not necessarily inferior. The victor shall ask Teacher to evaluate their serpent path!"
Bell: "This palm technique is fierce, but it's so difficult to learn, much harder than Cat Form Fist and Subduing Cat Fist. It seems I can only practice it a million more times."
Xiao Wu: "Teacher… this Marquis Wu's Mysterious Gate is too complicated, I need Teacher to teach me hand in hand, I'm dizzy~"
Xiao Wu was indeed dizzy. Marquis Wu's Mysterious Gate was a numerical art that deciphered Dao methods by using time and space as entry points. Not only was the initial setup complex, but the calculations for solving the problem were also extremely cumbersome. To predict every attack of an opponent in the blink of an eye during combat, the amount of calculation was simply beyond what a human brain could accomplish.
Xiao Wu felt a chill on her head. To learn this, did she have to go bald to become stronger?
Xin smiled faintly. This Xiao Wu, it was a good thing he didn't teach her Feng Hou Qi Men, otherwise, Xiao Wu would probably be even more confused.
But this wasn't Xiao Wu's fault. What the six people learned each had its own difficulty, but what Xiao Wu learned was the most difficult.
"Clear out, Xiao Wu, you have a brain that has cultivated for tens of thousands of years, which is your greatest advantage in learning Marquis Wu's Mysterious Gate. In fact, your brain capacity is larger than everyone else's. What you need to do is to clear out the unimportant memories from those tens of thousands of years in your mind, then you will learn with ease."
"Memories can be cleared?!" Xiao Wu was greatly surprised.
"Yes, they definitely can. I know a master named Lu Xiaobu, whose memories from the day before he said could be deleted just like that… Of course, normal people can't learn that. What Teacher really means is that you need to relax."

...
Since they began learning the Grandmaster-level peerless techniques, the six core disciples could no longer smile. They had no time to admire their teacher's peerless appearance, and could only throw themselves into intense study and cultivation.
Their main cultivation location was the back mountain of Heart of Fire Academy.
The back mountain was scenic with clear waters, and Teacher Xin had specially arranged training grounds for them:
Dozens of slippery iron balls rolling and intersecting in mid-air. Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran practiced their lightness skill, needing to tie magnets with layered suction effects to their legs.
Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran had never encountered such training methods before. One moment of carelessness could lead to them being pulled by the magnetic force, and their entire bodies would heavily smash into an iron ball.
At this moment, they understood why Teacher said Crossing the "Shunpo"—the "Shunpo" white hair does not float, and flying birds do not cross.
They needed to master more precise methods of exerting force and stronger leg strength.
Ning Rongrong's cultivation was relatively simple and brutal: "Iron Body" Forging, constantly tempering her body, bones, internal organs, and seven apertures and eight gates, using the power of the "Iron Body" to continuously temper every part of her body. There were three stages:
Copper Bones and Copper Blood, Silver Bones and Silver Blood, Golden Bones and Golden Blood.
Besides body tempering, it was also about taking hits. One person fought against her other junior sisters, and because of her strong defense, she became a training dummy for her junior sisters.
Ning Rongrong felt a bit resentful: Your output can indeed make me stronger, but actually, I'd rather be outputted by Teacher.
