Ning Rongrong stopped sobbing, wiping her tears as she choked out:
"If I learn it, can I become the best support on the continent, a perfect support who doesn't need teammates' protection?"
"Although it can't make you a perfect support, it can allow you to develop the potential of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to its utmost."
Seeing Ning Rongrong in such a state, Xin didn't know whether to laugh or cry; she was quite cute, and he explained:
"Every Spirit Ability of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is fixed. No matter what spirit ring is absorbed, the Spirit Ability gained is the same. However, as a pagoda-type Spirit, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda actually has defensive properties."
"It's just that because the pagoda body is glazed and relatively fragile, it focuses on support."
"And when this Tekkai "Iron Body" is cultivated to perfection, it can not only strengthen your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda for self-defense, reaching the realm of unity, but also, after cultivating Tekkai "Iron Body" energy to perfect State, and that is Armament Haki, you will become impervious to blades and spears, and invulnerable to water and fire."
"Once it reaches great accomplishment, Spirit Masters of the same rank will find it difficult to harm you, allowing you to achieve a balance of support and defense, and even possess a certain degree of offensive capability."
"However, to cultivate it to great accomplishment, you need to refine qi, refine the body, and also refine blood and bones. Each of these will be much more painful than the hand-slapping you endured today. Can you do it?" Xin asked.
"Impervious to blades and spears, invulnerable to water and fire, the strongest support!"
In just twelve characters, Ning Rongrong was already fired up.
"I'll learn it! I can endure any hardship!"
It was precisely because support system Spirit Masters lacked self-preservation abilities that their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School needed Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bone to protect them. If she could create this miracle, she would surely make her father and the others look at her with new eyes!
"Since you've decided, you must forge ahead. No matter how hard or tiring it gets in the future, you must endure it. I won't lower the standards for you just because you're a girl. Think it through carefully."
"I've thought it through! I want to add some defense for myself! I want to learn Tekkai "Iron Body"."
Amidst falling cherry blossoms, peach petals danced, and a gentle breeze wafted into the classroom.
Ning Rongrong forgot the pain in her palm. Holding the Tekkai "Iron Body" secret manual, her eyes became incredibly firm.
Xin looked at the girl in front of him, discerning the longing in her eyes, and suddenly understood the meaning of taking on disciples.
Perhaps the Great Dao should not be so narrow, only allowing him to pass through.
His disciples should not be so few, with only one girl.
"As long as you genuinely want to learn, I will teach you well."
"The first step in practicing the Tekkai "Iron Body" is to cultivate your qi, then to temper your body. Starting today, you must practice Horse stance for two hours every day, and breathe in and out at noon and midnight, when the essence of the sun and moon is most abundant, to sense the acupoints throughout your body, whether in cold or heat."
Xin began to prepare a cultivation plan for Ning Rongrong.
As a teacher, Xin also possessed the ability to share and upgrade the cultivation techniques practiced by his disciples.
Ning Rongrong looked at Xin 's serious expression, and her eyes suddenly lit up: "Teacher, I'm planning to practice diligently, and I'm your direct disciple. Shouldn't you show your disciple what you look like?"
"How can a disciple not even know what their teacher looks like?"
Xin was stunned: "It's just a facade. My Herrscher Spirit is unique; knowing my Spirit is enough."
"Honestly, he won't even let me see his face. Bell must be lying; he said Teacher is very handsome. If he's handsome, why does he wear a mask every day?" Ning Rongrong muttered.
"Then just consider me to be unremarkable."
"Unremarkable, I still want to see! How can a disciple not even know what their own teacher looks like?" Ning Rongrong complained slightly.
Xin, instead, smiled:
"If you really want to see, once your Tekkai "Iron Body" reaches the introductory level and achieves a minor accomplishment, I will take off my mask and let you see. I just hope you won't be disappointed then."
"Okay!"
