Chapter 378 Fabricated Kung Fu Techniques
"It's all thanks to Master's guidance!"

Feng Yang was very cautious at this moment, afraid of saying something wrong and angering his master.

If Master is unhappy, he can just give him a couple of beatings, that would be fine.

He's thick-skinned and tough, so he's not afraid of getting beaten up.

He was afraid that his master would no longer want to talk to him, or even expel him from the sect.

Nan Ran didn't correct him; she just wanted to change the subject anyway.

However, she wasn't really good at these things, so she could only say dryly, "Well, I'll keep trying..."

"I will definitely do it, disciple!" Feng Yang said, even more nervously.

Seeing that Nan Ran was no longer saying anything, he hesitated, carefully considered his words, and tentatively asked, "Actually, there are still some things about this technique that I don't quite understand. I wonder if Master could give me some pointers?"

After asking the question, he keenly noticed that Nan Ran's expression was not good; it was dark and gloomy.

He immediately changed his tune with a nervous expression: "No, it's okay if I can't! No, no, no, it's just that I'm stupid. Master, please give me more time, and I will definitely figure it out."

Feng Yang was so nervous that even his breathing slowed down.

Nan Ran was thinking... what kind of guidance could she possibly provide!

She herself doesn't even know how to cultivate.

But since he has become a teacher and received respect from others, it seems unreasonable to say or do nothing.

especially--

Feng Yang looked like he was about to break.

It's heartbreaking to see them like that.

Nan Ran sighed deeply, ultimately deciding that he shouldn't be a spoilsport and leave any shadow in his great disciple's heart.

It might not be obvious now, but based on her years of experience reading novels, her gloomy and paranoid nature is something that has been accumulated little by little since childhood.

Looking at him now, Feng Yang still sees him as a clean, spotless piece of white paper. It would be bad if he were to become twisted and blackened because she kept rejecting and refusing him, and in the end, she would stage some kind of perverted revenge plot of imprisonment, physical and mental torture between master and disciple.

"What don't you understand? Tell me first."

Nan Ran planned to listen to the situation first. As for whether he could make up a cultivation method, they could talk about that later!

"that is--"

Feng Yang cautiously recounted some problems he encountered during his battle with Liu Yi.

Insufficient lethality, all bark and no bite, long skill cooldown time, etc.

Of course, that's not what Feng Yang said.

Feng Yang said, "I feel that the damage of this Elemental Fission move is not very stable and is greatly affected by cultivation level. When it comes to a demon beast with the cultivation level of Mahayana stage, it is completely restricted. Not only can it not exert any damage, but it is also hampered by the need to maintain Elemental Fission, losing its mobility and becoming useless."

Nan Ran's understanding: "The damage wasn't enough."

Feng Yang said, "The pressure caused by the elemental splitting was quite great, with the wind and clouds changing rapidly. It even almost triggered a lightning tribulation. After careful observation, I discovered that if a lightning tribulation were to be triggered, not only would I not be injured, but I could also use the power of the lightning tribulation to amplify the damage caused by the elemental splitting, turning the fire rain into a thunder-fire rain, thus completing the upgrade and advancement! It's just a pity that the lightning tribulation didn't actually approach for some reason. It only flickered a few times in the clouds and then disappeared. The sound, however, was quite loud."

Nan Ran's understanding: "Lots of thunder, little rain, utterly useless."

Feng Yang said, "After using Elemental Fission once, my spiritual energy was severely depleted. I needed to rest for a long time before I could barely muster the energy to use Elemental Fission again. However, this also caused me to miss the opportunity to stack damage. Although I can shorten the time to use Elemental Fission a second time by reducing the damage and the number of fissions, it will also greatly reduce the damage."

Nan Ran understood: "The skill cooldown time is too long and needs to be shortened."

...It can't be said that the understanding is wrong.

As for how to solve these problems... Nan Ran was completely clueless.

She couldn't even understand the methods of cultivation here; it felt harder than solving a math problem.

But if you don't say anything, or you lay it all out and say you can't do anything, wouldn't your lofty image in the eyes of your students collapse in an instant?
How could she then enslave her eldest apprentice to do chores for her?

Ahem... Of course, it's not that she took Feng Yang as her apprentice just to enslave him.

"The issues you mentioned, well, I understand..."

Nan Ran had barely begun when she felt Feng Yang's expectant gaze.

Oh no! I feel like I really need to say something!

"Well, it's just..."

Nan Ran recalled the games she had played in her previous life and realized that she was also incredibly bad at playing games.

Over the years, she's played games without ever considering why she chose that skill...

It's mainly for casual, random fun.

"Let's address your first question first. Do you know what the core issue is?"

Nan Ran decided to leave the problem to Feng Yang to think about.

Feng Yang shook his head sincerely: "I don't know..."

But sensing that Nan Ran's expression wasn't very good after he said that, he racked his brains and finally replied, "Is it because—the damage wasn't enough?"

After thinking it over and over, this was the only reason he could come up with.

She looked at her master with some trepidation, afraid that if she was too slow, she would be considered stupid and then expelled from the sect.

did not expect--

"You're right, it's because the damage wasn't enough!"

Nan Ran nodded very seriously and praised his eldest disciple profusely. Then he asked, "So how can we solve the problem of insufficient damage?"

Nan Shu, the big white dog, almost burst out laughing while listening nearby. Feng Yang, however, still obediently shook his head: "I don't know..."

But he quickly realized that saying this would displease his master, and then he began to rack his brains to think of a solution.

But if he could figure out how to solve it, would he need to ask his master?
If I say nothing and just admit that I don't know, I'm afraid it will displease my master and make him think I'm stupid.

He didn't dare to think too hard, but after thinking it over and over, all he could think of was: "Hmm, increase the damage?"

After saying that, he felt like slapping himself twice.

Isn't this just like talking nonsense?

Master will be angry if he hears this!

Wouldn't you think he's stupid and incorrigible, like a piece of rotten wood that can't be carved?
Unexpectedly, just as Feng Yang was so anxious he was about to kneel down and cry, Nan Ran said with absolute certainty, "That's right!"

"We need to inflict more damage!"

Nan Ran then asked, "Then how can we increase the damage?"

Feng Yang blinked, still somewhat bewildered, and stared blankly for a while before shaking his head: "Disciple doesn't know..."

This time, no matter how hard he racked his brains, he couldn't figure out how to increase the damage.

If he had been able to figure it out, he wouldn't have been so confused before.

"We can't just call it twice, can we?"

If it were really that simple, wouldn't all other problems be solved at the same time?

He certainly knew that stacked damage would definitely produce an effect greater than the sum of its parts.

problem……

How can I stack them?

He can't even use this move at the same time, so he'll have to wait a long time before he can make another move.

Of course, although it is said to be a long time, in reality it is only a few breaths.

However, in a duel between masters, even being half a breath behind can easily lead to death.

Not to mention several breaths of time.

The enemy isn't stupid. How could they possibly sit there obediently, doing nothing, waiting for you to make a second move?

"That's right, just do it one more time!"

While Feng Yang was still denying the absurdity of his casual remark, Nan Ran had already confirmed the other party's answer.

"what?"

Feng Yang was stunned.

Then he froze.

Then I got caught up in the decision...

He felt that he really shouldn't doubt that his master was talking nonsense.

That's incredibly rebellious.

But is Master's casual agreement really not just nonsense?
"What do you think we should do, to inflict the same damage again, based on the original damage?"

Nan Ran naturally sensed Feng Yang's slightly questioning gaze.

"Disciple, disciple doesn't know..."

Feng Yang withdrew his disrespectful gaze, thought seriously for a moment, and then shook his head.

"Let's analyze your other problem, which is that the skill cooldown time is too long... Uh, when you want to use this move a second time, you will need some time to recover your spiritual power. Therefore, it can be concluded that you cannot use the same move again to add to the damage of the previous move."

Although he felt that what his master said seemed like a pointless statement, Feng Yang still nodded seriously.

Because what Master said is correct.

“That’s right. Each time you use Elemental Fission, it takes a certain amount of time to recover your spiritual power, and you may even need to call upon the spiritual power of your contracted monster for assistance.” Feng Yang nodded seriously in his reply.

"So this means that the method of attacking again to increase the damage and draw in the lightning tribulation is not valid," Nan Ran said.

Feng Yang nodded.

The big white dog, Nan Shu, watched the master and apprentice looking very serious and said some nonsense: ...

Soon after, Nanran said, "So, have you ever thought about using other methods to inflict additional damage?"

"Another way?"

Feng Yang thought and thought, but couldn't come up with any other way to stack damage.

But since Master asked that question, it certainly wasn't to hear him say "I don't know".

Master would certainly not like a disciple who only shakes his head and says he doesn't know, and who doesn't think.

So no matter what, he should give an answer, but—

How else can damage be stacked?
You can't have it split once, then split again...

Seeing Feng Yang deep in thought, the big white dog Nan Shu couldn't bear it any longer and said, "I feel like you're misleading a student. Are you sure you know how to teach? If not, I'll take over..."

Isn't this like someone bringing you a pillow when you're sleepy?

Nan Ran was about to agree when she saw—
