A Good Romance

Ling Han didn't think it was reliable, but he didn't want to shatter the other party's confidence because he firmly believed that his strength would surpass the Guardian General one day.
If his thoughts were known by others, they would definitely say that he was delusional. Although the Guardian General wasn't the strongest in the Engravement Realm, he had never tasted defeat.
This was because no one could break through his defense.
However, Ling Han didn't think so. If the Guardian General's defense was invincible, he wouldn't have succumbed to the current emperor.
Therefore, there was no such thing as an invincible defense. It was just a matter of whether one's attack power was high enough.
"Alright." Ling Han nodded. He was quite interested in array formations anyway.
Niu Huaqing was a little excited. He rubbed his hands and said, "From today onwards, this old man will give you special training. One day, you will use the array formations that this old man has researched to beat that iron lump to the point of kneeling and begging for mercy!"
Ling Han couldn't bear to spoil his fun, so he nodded and smiled. "I want to take you as my master!"
Niu Huaqing shook his head. "You're a monster, and your future is limitless. This old man can only give you a few temporary pointers on array formations. There's no need for you to take me as your master, lest the future generations say that this old man is shameless."
Ling Han only smiled. His respect for Niu Huaqing was more of a kind of friendship despite the difference in age.
"Moreover, in this world, whether it's Martial Art, Array Dao, or Alchemy Dao, they're all in the early stages. We've only glimpsed the edge of the Great Dao. Who is qualified to be called a master?" Niu Huaqing said with great emotion.
Ling Han was surprised. He didn't expect Niu Huaqing to have this kind of understanding.
"Old Man Niu, why do you think so?"
Niu Huaqing thought about it and said, "This old man once entered a historical site when he was young. It could be said to be magical. I clearly entered from the wilderness, but after I passed through a door, I found myself in a vast swamp."
"That was definitely not an illusion!" he emphasized. "It was spatial technology. A door is equivalent to a spatial wormhole. It's incomparably magical!"
His face was full of excitement. "This kind of technology is something that even an array grandmaster like me can't understand at all. It seems like the world we have touched is just the tip of the iceberg."
Ling Han's interest was piqued as well, and he said, "The Vajra General and the others have been in the Engravement Realm for at least sixty to seventy years, and we are only in the early stages of a great era. Why haven't the Vajra General and the others taken another step forward?"
This was very unreasonable. Those who could stand out now must be geniuses in Martial Art, so why was it that they were still progressing so slowly in the early stages of Martial Art?
"Good question." Niu Huaqing nodded, revealing a hint of admiration, "I've also researched this question. Around 90 years ago, Iron Lump and the others had already stepped into the Engravement Realm. But after all these years, they've only reached five veins at most."
"Why?"
"According to this old man's speculation, it's because of the environment."
"Oh." Ling Han's eyes lit up. "Please elaborate."
"We'll have to start from 120 years ago." Niu Huaqing cleared his throat. "Before this point in time, there had never been a single cultivator on Heavenly Ocean Planet. But in fact, some cultivation techniques and even arrays had already been passed down."
Ling Han was surprised. There had been cultivation techniques passed down, and there had been arrays in the world, but no one had mastered them.
Wasn't this strange?
"However, after the time node, beasts began to rapidly evolve, and so did humans," Niu Huaqing said solemnly. "So, this old man speculated that this was because the environment of the world had changed."
"If you want to cultivate, you have to sense the power of heaven and earth, right? But in the past, this didn't exist at all, so how could you sense it and cultivate?"
"It's the same with arrays. You need to borrow the power of heaven and earth, but there is no power to borrow. The array base is just a few broken stones and broken iron rods."
This explanation was very reasonable. Just like in the Yuan World, there were only cultivation techniques, but there was no spiritual power, so how could one cultivate?
Ling Han drew inferences and said, "Old man, what you mean is that although we are still at the beginning of the Myriad Daos, because the changes in the environment of the world have not caught up, the emergence of higher level martial artists is limited, and the number of high-level martial artists is also very small."
"That's right." Niu Huaqing nodded, full of admiration. It was comfortable to talk to smart people, because they could understand with a hint, and Ling Han could draw inferences, which made it even more pleasant.
"So, this is your chance to catch up quickly." The old man said, "Iron Lump and the others have nowhere to go, so it's equivalent to waiting for you in place."
Ling Han nodded, then smiled and said, "I'm afraid that when I reach their level, the environment of the world will still not change, and that will be depressing."
The path of Martial Art was clearly very long, but it was limited by the environment of the world and could not move forward. Just thinking about it made people feel depressed.
"It won't." Niu Huaqing shook his head. "Since the world has already recovered, then this process cannot stop. It is only a temporary pause now, like the calm before a storm, but once it starts again, it will definitely be incomparably fierce."
"So, now is the best time to catch up."
Indeed.
Ling Han agreed. At this time, if he could not catch up quickly, it would be like when he first entered the Celestial Realm. Any random person would be much stronger than him, and the time needed to reach the Nine Heavens would be calculated in hundreds of millions of years.
So, now, every minute and every second was incomparably precious. If he was not careful, he would fall behind. When the environment of the world changed again, and a great era rolled in, then the people behind would be left further and further behind.
"That's right, old man, how did you come in?" Ling Han was surprised, entering the academy required fingerprints.
Niu Huaqing sneered, and with a look of disdain, he said, "This academy's formation was set up by this old man."
Oh, no wonder.
The old man could completely not take the normal path, and the defensive formation would not even be activated, so it would be like walking on flat ground.
"Come, kid, this old man will teach you formations," said Niu Huaqing. Originally, he did not intend to personally teach Ling Han formations, but wanted to let Ling Han first mix around in the Hidden Tiger City's Formation Association for a period of time. Only when he became a mid-level or even a high-level formation master would he personally teach him.
But who would have thought that Hidden Tiger City would actually encounter such a catastrophe?
There were many things that Ling Han had to focus on, but since Niu Huaqing was so excited, Ling Han did not want to disappoint him. Anyway, it did not matter what he learned, so he would first learn formations for a few days.
Niu Huaqing was a genius in formations, but being a genius did not mean that he was a qualified teacher. He did not care whether Ling Han understood or not, and simply explained all his understanding of formations to Ling Han, so that Ling Han could remember it by heart and then put it into practice. If there was anything he did not understand, Ling Han could ask him.
Fortunately, Ling Han was really monstrous.
How many years had he stayed in the divine stone?
Martial Art, Pill Dao, Formation Dao, which one was he not proficient in?
So, all he needed to do was to absorb knowledge. After opening a door, he would be able to grow quickly, and at an astonishing speed.
