Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 466 - 465 Testing Nasha
Zhou Bai found Nasha behind a small grove in the southwest direction of the Dao School, practicing a set of fist techniques one punch at a time.
The slender Nasha threw a punch, which cracked through the air like a steel whip, creating a snapping and popping sound.
After pausing for three seconds, another punch was thrown.
She seemed utterly engrossed, her spirit and energy entirely focused on each punch, apparently oblivious to Zhou Bai's arrival.
Zhou Bai watched from the side and thought to himself, "What kind of fist technique is this? Tina, can you make it out?"
Even though Zhou Bai had become a martial arts genius with excellent talent for Daoist cultivation, the martial arts and Daoist techniques he practiced were mainly swordsmanship, movement techniques, and Body Refining. His understanding of fist techniques was not very good.
Christina took a quick look and replied, "It seems to be just the basic Five Elements Fist."
The Five Elements Fist is a fundamental fist technique of the East China Dao School. Zhou Bai, when he first started learning martial arts, could not even be bothered to glance at it, yet Nasha was practicing it here with such diligence.
Seeing Nasha's industriousness, Zhou Bai suddenly realized, "Was this the Five Elements Fist she was practicing next door to me? Were those sounds the noise of the fists striking the walls? Could she have been practicing this Five Elements Fist all day?"
Christina said, "Don't underestimate the Five Elements Fist. This basic fist technique is known as the mother of all fist techniques within the Three Pure Dao Sect, the foundation of all fist techniques.
And besides, the more solid your foundation in martial arts, the better. Practicing the Five Elements Fist more can't do any harm."
Zhou Bai thought for a moment and simply decided to take the opportunity to test the waters, so he coughed and walked over to Nasha: "The night is long and sleep eludes me. Who would have thought that Miss Nasha is just like me."
Nasha seemed to be startled, she jumped up, turned her head towards Zhou Bai, and then let out a light sigh, saying softly, "It's Zhou Bai, Senior Brother. Do you need something from me?"
Zhou Bai replied, "I just happened to be passing by and saw you practicing your fist techniques, so I came to say hello."
"Oh."
Zhou Bai: "You're practicing the Five Elements Fist, right? I know this technique well. Want me to teach you?"
Nasha's eyes lit up with anticipation, "Really? Wouldn't that be a waste of your time, Senior Brother?"
"Not at all," Zhou Bai thought to himself: 'Christina, you give her some pointers.'
He let Christina control his body while he continued the conversation with Nasha, correcting her wisdom.
Christina, controlling Zhou Bai's physical body, adjusted Nasha's arms and said, "Use intention, not force. You must be relaxed during practice and tense only when striking."
Meanwhile, Zhou Bai interjected during the pauses in Christina's instructions, "Your Senior Brother Zhou started practicing his fist techniques at the age of five. You won't go wrong listening to me."
Nasha, who had absolutely no guard against Zhou Bai, seemingly believed everything he said; after just a few words of conversation, her wisdom had already been reduced by more than 50 by Zhou Bai.
Zhou Bai also took the opportunity to probe, "Nasha, what do you like?"

Nasha responded without hesitation, "Practicing fist techniques."
Zhou Bai: "And besides practicing fist techniques?"
Nasha replied directly, "Body Refinement."
Zhou Bai thought to himself, "Three sentences and he's already back to cultivation, could this guy be a cultivation fanatic?"
Christina, controlling his physical body, lifted Nasha's arm, then checked the other party's ankle and knee, saying slowly, "There are hidden injuries on your fists and elbows. Your knee is seriously worn, and your ankle has been fractured before. This guy is a bit reckless with his cultivation, huh."
Zhou Bai watched Christina's inspection movements, glancing at the scars on the other person's body, and suddenly felt a bit sorry for her, "…Trying too hard and enduring too much suffering."
Nasha asked blankly, "Senior Brother Zhou Bai, what are you doing?"
Zhou Bai said, "Senior Brother is helping you check your body. You have many injuries, don't they hurt?"
Nasha shook her head, "They stopped hurting a long time ago. It's normal to get injured while practicing boxing. I chose the Tianhe Star Explosion chart precisely so that I could heal myself."
Zhou Bai's curiosity was piqued, "If you like practicing boxing, why didn't you choose to specialize in martial arts with the Daoist Body chart?"
Nasha replied earnestly, "Although the Daoist Body chart adds a lot to martial arts cultivation, I feel that the Tianhe Star Explosion is superior in terms of healing and insight into the human body, and has more advantages in Body Refinement than the Daoist Body chart."
"Ah?" Zhou Bai hadn't expected this kind of answer, and asked again, "Do you really like Body Refinement?"
Upon hearing this question, a fierce flame of fighting spirit flashed in Nasha's eyes, as if there were two blazing fires, "I want to cultivate my physical body into the strongest weapon, I want to fight without relying on spirit weapons."
"Not wanting to rely on spirit weapons to fight?" Zhou Bai was puzzled, "Why?"
Spirit weapons are an important part of the cultivation system; a powerful spirit weapon greatly enhances a cultivator's strength. Zhou Bai had never met a cultivator who didn't want to use spirit weapons.
Nasha explained, "On the path of cultivation, isn't what we cultivate our own selves all along the way? From the 0th realm to the 10th realm, and even ascending to join the ranks of immortals, becoming a deity, it's all an evolution of the self. Therefore, the potential of the physical body surpasses any spirit weapon. Our bodies are the most powerful weapons in the world."
Zhou Bai found her ideas incredibly strange, and couldn't help but recall the scenes from attending Body Refinement class in the past. Looking at the slender body of Nasha in front of him, he couldn't at all sense that she was a Body Refinement fanatic.
'But men and women have different body structures after all, and cultivation of Body Refinement mainly relies on qi and blood, sinews and bones, with muscles being incidental. And women's body structures, no matter how much they are trained, cannot develop overly exaggerated muscles.'
Zhou Bai could sense, through the observation of his Primordial Spirit, that Nasha's body looked slender yet contained explosive ferocity.
He continued to ask a few more questions but still didn't notice anything unusual about her. The girl in front of him seemed to be just a pure fanatic of physical cultivation.
In his heart, Zhou Bai couldn't help but speculate, 'Could it be that besides myself, there are others who can harvest fate? Was Nasha's fate harvested by someone else without her knowledge?'
Christina said, "It's possible! Maybe Nasha originally had a strong fate."
Zhou Bai then asked, "I've set up a study group with Jing Xiu, Xia Li, and Lu Wanzhen among others. Do you want to join us and study together? What do you think?"
Unexpectedly, Nasha shook her head, "No need, I'm used to being on my own. Cultivation is, after all, an individual affair. Having guidance is good, but most of the time I prefer to cultivate alone."
Zhou Bai said awkwardly, "No problem, no problem, then you cultivate on your own."
Moments later, Zhou Bai stepped out, but didn't actually leave. Instead, he deliberately hid about ten meters away from Nasha, wanting to try cultivating the Tianhe Star Explosion sword technique by leveraging her presence.
With Zhou Bai's current level of cultivation, concealing himself from Nasha, a first-realm Tianhe Star Explosion cultivator, was too simple. So, he hid on the side, watching Nasha while attempting to cultivate the sword seed of Tianhe Star Explosion.
Ever since stepping into the 4th realm and breaking through his Primordial Spirit to 7200, Zhou Bai had not had the time to replenish the power of his sword seed to the peak level that 7200 Primordial Spirit power should have. This was a good opportunity to cultivate while leveraging Nasha's presence.
Meanwhile, about a few hundred meters behind Zhou Bai, Zhao Haomiao secretly observed Zhou Bai. Seeing Zhou Bai hiding next to Nasha, he sneered to himself, "Hmph, that Zhou Bai… it seems he's really interested in Nasha. How can I lose to someone who wastes his prime time and energy on a woman?"
