Currently, Ning Rongrong didn't have much say within the sect; she was more like a little princess.
But that didn't matter. As the sole designated successor of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, her symbolic importance was far greater than her actual authority.
However, Ning Rongrong was naturally rebellious. Directly telling her to enroll in the Tian Dou Royal Academy might backfire. A careful approach was necessary.
At this moment, Ning Fengzhi suddenly took a stack of manuscripts from a Soul Guidance Device and handed them to Su Cheng, smiling as he spoke:
"I see that although all your skills are self-created, their power far exceeds your level. I imagine the consumption of soul power is an issue. These are the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's secret 'Divided Focus Control' techniques. If you can master them, they will greatly reduce your soul power expenditure."
Divided Focus Control? Su Cheng blinked in surprise.
He had heard of this technique before. While not originally created by the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, it was likely only preserved there now.
Divided Focus Control allows a soul master to simultaneously control multiple soul skills. It's divided into five stages: Three Orifices Governing Heart, Four Orifices Constant Heart, Five Orifices Scattered Heart, Six Orifices Willful Heart, and Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart. Each stage represents how many soul skills can be controlled and simultaneously released.
This technique benefits any soul master, but for those with the Seven Treasures Glazed Tower martial soul, it is especially powerful.
For ordinary soul masters, since each soul skill consumes different amounts of soul power, the presence of Divided Focus Control matters less. Consequently, the method gradually fell into obscurity.
But with the Seven Treasures Glazed Tower, each skill consumes the same amount of soul power at the same level, so only they preserved this method.
Moreover, after generations of refinement within the sect, the technique had likely been greatly optimized.
Su Cheng felt slightly suspicious—Ning Fengzhi was being unusually enthusiastic.
Even if he wanted to win him over, surely some testing should have come first. He wasn't a direct disciple of the sect; even if he accepted Chen Xin as a master today, wouldn't there be concern about him switching allegiances later? Something seemed off.
His hesitation showed on his face as he politely declined: "Sect Leader, this is far too precious."
"No matter," Ning Fengzhi waved his hand. "Since you are Uncle Sword's disciple, you are effectively part of the sect's core. Besides, this Divided Focus Control technique isn't exclusive to our sect; it's just particularly useful to us, which is why we've preserved it."
After a moment of consideration, Su Cheng accepted the manuscript.
This Divided Focus Control technique would indeed help him.
His Vein-Blocking Qi Continuation Method and self-created skills already reduced soul power consumption to some degree. Combined with the Five Elements Domain and the inherent nature of the Longevity Sword, skills of equal power consumed far less soul power than other soul masters.
Still…
After taking the manuscript, Su Cheng quietly began to read it.
The others didn't pay much attention, while Ning Fengzhi added: "You can exchange more with Rongrong in the future; she is also training in this technique."
Su Cheng nodded slightly and looked at Ning Rongrong. "I understand. I'll ask Rongrong for guidance in the future. Given her talent, she should already have considerable insight."
Ning Rongrong nodded proudly. "Don't worry. If you don't understand something, just ask me."
In reality, she had barely practiced.
She hadn't even fully mastered the Three Orifices Governing Heart yet.
But guiding a beginner like Su Cheng filled her with pride.
Ning Fengzhi glanced at his daughter and smiled, choosing not to expose her ignorance. He even thought this method of fostering their relationship was quite clever.
"I suppose the key to mastering Divided Focus Control is improving your perception ability, right?"
After skimming the manuscript, Su Cheng spoke up.
"Exactly," Ning Fengzhi said with surprise, "your comprehension is extraordinary."
He had already reached the highest stage of Divided Focus Control, Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart, and had profound understanding.
Most beginners initially tried to forcefully train their mind to multitask, which worked but was inefficient. Advancing beyond the early stages in that way was extremely difficult.
The best method was to perceive environmental changes and naturally improve one's reflexes, which allowed the essence of the technique to be understood.
"Sect Leader, I've had some insights," Su Cheng said after a moment.
He extended his right hand, summoning his martial soul.
The third soul ring lit up: Soul Skill: Fractal Shadows.
With the skill, his Longevity Sword split into three sword shadows.
Under everyone's astonished eyes, Su Cheng controlled the three swords with his soul power, performing slashes, vertical strikes, and thrusts.
Initially awkward, his movements became increasingly fluid with time, eventually flowing smoothly in the air with coordinated sequences.
Although such a clone-type skill isn't particularly powerful, each sword shadow only has 60% of the original Longevity Sword's strength.
While reduced in power, the skill's main effect is to disrupt the opponent's perception. With the domain's assistance, its effectiveness increases significantly.
Now, with Divided Focus Control, even more variations could be executed.
Ning Fengzhi: "?"
Ning Rongrong: "?"
"…You've practiced Divided Focus Control before?" Ning Fengzhi asked, his voice hoarse with disbelief.
Unbelievable. How could someone achieve this?
The technique itself isn't difficult, but to master it within half an hour of first learning is impossible, right?
Su Cheng understood this had nothing to do with talent.
The hardest part of Divided Focus Control was developing that initial sensory intuition.
Fortunately, Su Cheng had already mastered a rudimentary sword domain, excelling in short-range instinctual perception—the very trait of all aggressive-domain skills.
Thus, learning Divided Focus Control was as simple as a university student tackling elementary exercises.
Mastering higher stages beyond Five Orifices would take time, but the initial entry was effortless.
