Exploring Immortality Cultivation

Wang Qi had barely initiated his movement technique when Geng Peng could not help but exclaim.

"How is that possible! The Impermanence Step!"

The Impermanence Step, one of the powerful movement techniques of Wanfa Sect Martial Arts with a significant weight value of around five. It was a part of the Impermanence Martial Arts.

Impermanence Martial Arts was the martial arts of the Carefree of Wanfa, the Heavenly Transformation and Impermanence, teacher Wei Er. One of the proudest achievements of Teacher Wei Er's life was the invention of the Impermanence Sky Changing Style that could not be intuitively predicted through direct experience. Integrating the Impermanence Sky Changing Style into martial arts tactics was indeed the Impermanence Martial Arts.

Most Wanfa Sect disciples would start learning some Impermanence Martial Arts after reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage to strengthen their own martial skills.

But that's the Foundation Establishment Stage! He, he, he, a disciple in the Early Stage of Qi Cultivation, how did he come to understand the Impermanence Martial Arts?

Geng Peng could not believe his eyes and wanted to take a closer look, but the sharper among the teaching assistants naturally would not mistake it.

"Su! Junyu!" Xiang Qi rushed at Su Junyu, furious, "How could you teach him the Impermanence Step? Don't you know that's against the rules? Do you want to end up in the Immortal Alliance Sky Prison together?"

Su Junyu's expression was grave as he carefully regarded Wang Qi. It took him a while before he made a judgment, "It is not the Impermanence Step."

"Ah?"

The True Inheritor from Mountain River City beside Su Junyu said, "That's clearly…"

"Seemingly so, but not quite." Su Junyu shook his head, "If you insist it is, maybe it's the version from eight hundred years ago."

The Impermanence Step had been created hundreds of years ago and had undergone countless revisions and improvements by cultivators over time. Today's version passed down in Wanfa Sect surpassed the original by innumerable degrees.

"Where did he get a version from eight hundred years ago? You don't even know it," said the True Inheritor from Mountain River City with a smirk. However, he soon thought of another possibility, "Could it be…"

"He realized it on his own…" Xiang Qi's voice trembled slightly.

But Su Junyu, after the initial shock, remained very calm, "He inferred it on his own according to the Impermanence Sky Changing Style. He only learned how to apply mathematical analysis to the intrinsic form of mana and hasn't connected martial skills with analytic geometry yet, hence his performance appears somewhat off—honestly, I really believe that this guy might Breakthrough in half a day."

Du Bin was in a mysterious quandary.

He could clearly see Wang Qi, who made very subtle movements in his technique, but he just couldn't penetrate Wang Qi's movements! He had no way to determine where Wang Qi would move next.

Du Bin was not lacking in real combat experience. Having tested himself countless times against martial artists in his family since he was young, he had never encountered such a situation. His experience was utterly useless. Now he could only hack blindly east and west following the family swordsmanship.

Due to limited awareness, the new disciples did not recognize the Impermanence Step. And since they were not confronting Wang Qi directly, they could not discern the profundity of his step technique. In their eyes, Mid-Stage Qi Refining Du Bin held the advantage, making Wang Qi seem to scramble in escape.

Du Bin's cronies began to cheer, but their support only added to Du Bin's humiliation. Teeth clenched, he quickened his Sword Momentum.

Wang Qi, who was dodging with ease and pleasure amidst the opponent's Sword Momentum, couldn't help revealing a hint of triumphant smile.

When he discovered that Wanfa Sect's Wei Er was the Shenzhou equivalent of Weierstrass, Wang Qi understood he could openly use Weierstrass's theory. From that moment, he started to ponder which of Weierstrass's academic results he could currently utilize.

Weierstrass's greatest lifetime achievement—"Mathematical Analysis"—was too vast a subject for him to find a point of entry. However, Weierstrass's most famous work, the "Pathological Function," "Weierstrass Function," which in Shenzhou was referred to as the "Impermanence Heavenly Transformation," was readily applicable.

A pathological function is a graph that is everywhere continuous yet nowhere differentiable. Humans can intuitively predict an object's trajectory without doing calculations because they can roughly determine the "direction" of the object's movement, that is, the derivative at a point along the object's trajectory.

But a pathological function is not differentiable! The graph of the Weierstrass function is beyond one's intuitive experience.

The true Impermanence Step is when mana flows according to the Impermanence Sky Changing Style, and the step technique matches the pattern of the Impermanence Sky Changing Style. Wang Qi could only just manage the former, with the course integrating martial skills with analytic geometry scheduled later than the classes on Essence of Spirit Energy and Spirit Energy Eigenform, to be taught in the second half of August. Wang Qi's step technique was deduced from the intrinsic formula of the step techniques.

After dodging for a while and confirming that his step technique was indeed effective, Wang Qi felt the bout was unnecessary.

He decided it had to end quickly.

Du Bin was still relentlessly pursuing and slashing. By now, a portion of the new disciples also realized something wasn't quite right. At that moment, Wang Qi suddenly changed his steps and turned to the offensive against Du Bin.

Du Bin was caught off guard, finding both of his strikes to miss. He hurriedly retracted his sword for defense, one sword positioned in front to block Wang Qi's attack, the other thrusting toward Wang Qi's shoulder.

Bolstered by the Book of Geometry, Du Bin's sword trajectory was fully anticipated by Wang Qi. Two fingers wrapped in Phase Wave firmly pinched the long sword. The hastily emitted Sword Qi from Du Bin was evenly neutralized by the consistent Material Wave.

The second method of the Invisible Scattering Hand, Constant Form.

Invisible boasting, most lethal of all. Somehow, this saying suddenly crossed Wang Qi's mind. At that moment, his other hand made directly for Du Bin's chest. His hand, like a Spirit Snake, twisted back and forth several times, rendering the trajectory of his palm completely obscure.

Impermanence Hand!

Wang Qi's palm hit Du Bin unimpeded, and then the Heavenly Communication was triggered, rapidly throwing his internal mana into Chaos.

Du Bin ceased all movement, eyes widened in disbelief. Then, he spat out blood and fell to the ground.

Wang Qi couldn't even be bothered to kick the man a couple more times. This was simply an untechnical steamroller of a match; aside from verifying the Impermanence Step at the beginning, it did little to spark his interest.

However, he was a bit curious about what was coming next.

Wang Qi returned to his own spot. Sure enough, whether it was Wu Fan or the cultivator who had mocked him, both were still standing there.

Wang Qi approached the new disciple. The latter was still staring blankly at the light screen, unable to believe that he had just ridiculed such a formidable person. Moreover, Du Bin, the one he had favored, had turned out to be so fragile!

Seeing Wang Qi approaching, the disciple jumped in fright and hurriedly stepped back. Wang Qi had no interest in killing his entire family; he simply approached with a smile that seemed a touch too smug and spoke, "Slap, slap."
