Chapter 18: Secretly Learning from your Disciple is Reasonable, Right?

"Luffy, where in the world did you learn your armament haki from? He Yi Ming asked Luffy when they all returned to the sect square to eat hot pot.

"I'm Luffy, the man who'll become the King of Cultivation, learning armament haki is almost second nature to me, isn't that right?"Luffy answered as if this was natural.

"? ? ?"

Right your ass!

He Yi Ming ignored his chuunibyou logic and after some more questioning, he finally learned the truth.

"Ah, so it turns out that after some modification, armor spell can be transformed into this so-called armament haki?" He Yi Ming was mind blown!

Originally, He Yi Ming thought that the armor spell will be useless to him!

But now it seems like that was not the case!

Without saying a word, He Yi Ming secretly copy Luffy's armament haki and activated the modified armor spell.

"Armament!" He Yi Ming whispered and his right index finger suddenly turned jet black.

"Wow!" With a wave of his hand, He Yi Ming was able to easily cut a piece of stone in half with his finger!

"Amazing!" He Yi Ming was surprised by the result.

Regarding cultivation, He Yi Ming was in the Mid Stage of Spirit Realm!

In terms of cultivation skills, He Yi Ming had mastered the Azure Emperor Immortal Physique!

The same armor spell, when used by He Yi Ming was tens of times more powerful than Luffy!

"If I go all out...."He Yi Ming eyes gleam and he rushed down the mountain to find a graphorn.

"Gagaga!" A graphorn spotted He Yi Ming and charged at him excitedly.

He Yi Ming raised his right hand and put his Mid Stage of Spirit Realm cultivation into full drive, along with the powerful force bought along by the Azure Emperor Immortal Physique, He Yi Ming punched right at the charging graphorn head!

"Bang!" The graphorn was blown away by He Yi Ming punch and fell onto the ground several meters away, vomiting up blood!

"What if I add armament haki on top of this?" He Yi Ming squeezed his right hand and his fist was covered jet black!

"GAGAGA!" At this moment, the graphorn got up from the ground somewhat daze and quickly went berserk, it gain some distance from He Yi Ming before charging at him once again, now it was even faster than before!

He Yi Ming stood his ground unwavering and punch toward the charging graphorn head once again!

But this time, He Yi Ming's fist was covered in armament haki!

"BOOM!"

The graphorn, with its tough hide and thick flesh, which couldn't even be cut by ordinary swords or pierce by ordinary spears, along with the hardest bone in its body, the skull, was all punched into smithereens by He Yi Ming's fist!

All of the graphorn protection was fruitless before He Yi Ming armament haki enhanced fist!

He Yi Ming was stunned.

After Luffy transformed the ancient basic spell, the armor spell into armament haki, it had been turned into a complete beast!

"Nice! Now I'll happily accept this armament haki!" He Yi Ming smiled.

Even though this armament haki was created by Luffy.

But since Luffy was his disciple, then by extension shouldn't this armament haki be his too?

Completely reasonable! He Yi Ming saw nothing wrong with his logic!

"All disciples, gather at the sect square!" He Yi Ming quickly sent out a notification through the system.

When the players saw the notification, they put aside what they were doing and gathered in the sect square.

"What sort of major announcement is our Master going to make?

"Could it be that there is a new area of the map being opened up?"

"That is possible, after all, the graphorns are just too weak, I need some stronger monster to get my adrenaline pumping again!"

...

Most of the players started to whisper to each other.

"This is astonishing..." He Yi Ming glanced at the players and couldn't help but exclaim.

ID: Beef Noodle

Cultivation: Body Refinement Realm Rank 7

Talent: None

ID: Luffy

Cultivation: Body Refinement Realm Rank 7

Talent: None

ID: Indomitable_Panda

Cultivation: Body Refinement Realm Rank 7

Talent: None

He Yi Ming saw that all the players' cultivation has been improved, most of them are at Body Refinement Realm Rank 3, give or taken, while Beef Noodle, Luffy, and Indomitable_Panda have the highest cultivation!

This shows that the players could kill the graphorn without much of a problem, after all, it is impossible for the players to have this high of a cultivation if they kick the bucket every now and then.

"If they continue to increase their cultivation at this rate, then it is only a matter of time before they reach Peak of Body Refinement Realm!"

"But in order to breakthrough through the Peak of Body Refinement Realm and into the Spirit Realm, a Spirit Ascension Pill will be required!"

"It seems like I have to push forward the date we start cultivating the spirit herbs and spirit fields!"

....

He Yi Ming thought to himself.

But the announcement he is going to make is a completely different matter.

"Disciples, your improvement astonished me, and as your Master, I'm very pleased!"

"There are two disciples within you who perform the most outstanding!"

"Disciple World Number One Ice Mage and Disciple Luffy, please step forward!"

...

He Yi Ming calmly announces, Luffy and World Number One Ice Mage excitedly rush over.

"F***, could it be that there is another reward?"

"That is a possibility!"

"What sort of reward will they receive? Is it going to be another Body Refining Pill?"

....

The players start discussing, curious as a cat.

"These two disciples are highly talented, they both created a new style of combat, the Frost Bolt Style and the Armament Style. As their Master, I'm extremely proud!"

"Hereby, as their Master, I declare that Luffy and World Number One Ice Mage will gain the status of Inner Disciple!"

"From now on, World Number One Ice Mage will be in charge of teaching the Frost Bolt Style! Luffy will be in charge of teaching the Armament Style!"

"I hope that the other disciples will learn from their success and work harder! Of course, to each their own!"

...

After He Yi Ming finished his speech, he gave both World Number One Ice Mage and Luffy the title of Inner Disciple using the power of the system!

"Zizzi!"

Suddenly a line of small golden text appeared in front of the ID of both World Number One Ice Mage and Luffy that read...

Inner Disciple!

Currently, this title provides no buff to their stats or discounts in the shop, the only thing they will gain was the ability to take screenshots and record videos.

But to the players, this was all different!
