Mo Tianshui seemed to have discovered a brand-new treasure. Excitement beamed out of his eyes as he said excitedly, "I've been paying attention to Fiend Star's theories before, too. I always thought that his theories were too mysterious and impractical. I didn't know that it was because I was too narrow-minded to appreciate the subtleties of his theories!
"It seems that I'll have to study Master Fiend Star's theories from today on, too. One day, I'll have a rematch with you, Fellow Cultivator Li!"
"I'm looking forward to it," said Li Yao sincerely.
Mo Tianshui was indeed a super expert. If they fought again, Li Yao was not confident that he would win, as long as the rules were slightly changed.
Such a high-level competition would be beneficial for the improvement of both parties' Cultivation, regardless of the outcome.
Mo Tianshui hesitated for a moment, but he couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked, blushing, "Fellow Cultivator Li, if you don't mind, can you tell me how you've trained your hands to be as fast as lightning?"
Li Yao thought for a moment. Xie Anan had seen him training with the Purple Ring Sword Ants a long time ago. Now that his real capability had been exposed, there was no need for Xie Anan to hide it any longer. She would certainly tell others.
Besides, such a training method was not a top secret. It was recorded in many ancient notes. Those who were interested in it could use it for training.
Thinking about that, Li Yao decided not to keep it a secret anymore. He asked seriously, "Have you ever seen the Purple Ring Sword Ants at four o'clock in the morning?"
Mo Tianshui was dazed. He didn't understand it at all.
Li Yao explained, "Four o'clock in the morning is the hour of yin in the world of ancient Cultivators. It is the two hours when night and day are alternating. It is also the darkest moment before dawn.
"It is also the best time for the Purple Ring Sword Ants to rest.
"If the Purple Ring Sword Ants are woken up at this moment, they will be in the most violent state. They will be as crazy as tigers and most aggressive.
"As long as you train with the Purple Ring Sword Ants at four o'clock in the morning day after day like I did, your hand speed will definitely be higher."
Li Yao's words … This caused an uproar in the hearts of countless people in the industry.
Training the senses and speed of the hands with the Purple Ring Sword Ants was an 'ancient secret art' that many refiners were aware of. However, they had always scoffed at it and considered it a ridiculous theory.
But … It was actually true!
For a moment, many people's blood was freezing.
They all knew how painful it was to be bitten by the Purple Ring Sword Ants, and yet, Li Yao's training at four o'clock in the morning, when the Purple Ring Sword Ants were the most violent and ferocious?
What a monster. That was insane! No wonder he was able to break the sound barrier with his hand speed when he was only at the Building Foundation Stage!
In the audience, Tu Yongqing's face alternated between red and white.
. a lot more attention. to be a lot to Li Yao, to be a lot to a lot to, to a lot to a lot. a lot of a lot of him.
A lot a lot a lot a lot a lot a lot lot a lot a lot a lot of a a a attention attention.. That of Li.... er attention's a lot too much attention Lot's to a lot more shame price. She wished she could find a hole to hide in.
Li ''T t mind'E a Star to say '' 'Star,' ''s''s, '
He was too exhausted. Polishing the crystal chips with his hands had consumed too much of his heart and soul. Right now, his hands were burning, and there was a sense of emptiness and numbness, as if they did not belong to him at all. He needed to find a place to train and recover immediately.
On the other side of the teleportation array … Somebody was waiting for him in the lounge of the contestants.
It was Huangpu Xiaoya, the talented heir of a noble family of refining.
In the second round, she had refined three pieces of magical equipment. Their total power was even higher than that of Li Yao's and Mo Tianshui's. She ranked first.
Huangpu Xiaoya did not disguise her aggressiveness at all. The electric arcs inside her eyes were ten times brighter the moment Li Yao showed up!
Her hands were surrounded by electric arcs before she knew it. Cracking noises were echoing. Her skin was cracking.
Before her blood flowed out, it had already been vaporized into vague red mist by the electric arcs.
Li Yao was very familiar with the phenomenon.
It was not that the refiner did not have enough control over her own strength, but that her hands were craving a real battle too much!
Huangpu Xiaoya snapped her fingers. Electric arcs were flashing on her fingertips, entangling a translucent jade bottle. She rolled it to Li Yao.
"This is the Hand Care Spiritual Liquid that the Huangpu family made in secret. It contains the ingredients of 136 Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. The experts of the family have been refining it drop by drop for years.
"Your hands must have been heavily wounded after the supersonic polishing just now. Maybe it is not obvious on the surface, but there must be tiny scars on your veins and bones.
"Even if you rest for a couple of days, I'm afraid that you will not be fully recovered. Your hand speed will be reduced by more than 5%.
"The Huangpu family is best known for the Hand Care Spiritual Liquid. This bottle of Hand Care Spiritual Liquid should be able to accelerate the healing of your wounds. Your hand speed will be 100% in three days, or even faster!"
Li Yao was dazed for a moment. He accepted the Hand Care Spiritual Liquid without hesitation and grinned. "Thank you very much."
Huangpu Xiaoya stared at his hands without blinking, as if she were appreciating a piece of uncanny art, or as if she were going to swallow his hands. "You don't need to thank me. You should know what I want.
"I just don't want to have the slightest bit of regret in my victory."
"Take care of yourself. I'm looking forward to competing with you in your best state!"
…
When Li Yao walked out of the lounge, the hundreds of reporters waiting outside had already gone crazy.
"Kacha, kacha." Countless lights and shadows flickered. Hundreds of noisy questions swept over like a boiling tide.
"Contestant Li Yao, you've become famous today! You've defeated the genius heir of the Mo family, a noble family of refining that has been around for a thousand years! "
"Contestant Li Yao, can you tell us about your experience? I'm told that you were taught by an eccentric. Who is he exactly? Is he really an heir of a certain school from hundreds of years ago? "
"Contestant Li Yao, you said that you were training with Purple Ring Sword Ants. As far as I know, such a training method is extremely cruel. How did you manage to bear such inhuman pain?"
Li Yao frowned. He didn't have a good or bad impression of the media. However, since he had appeared out of nowhere, people would certainly trace back to him. Therefore, he might as well tell the truth himself first.
Besides …
Li Yao thought quickly. He smiled and said, "My time is limited. I need to go back and train myself. So, I'll answer one of your questions.
"I've been wandering, struggling, and training in the remnants of ancient battlefields at the edge of the cosmos since I was a little kid. I don't need to talk about my past.
"It was not until I joined the Great Horn Exo Society that I was completely reborn and made a real breakthrough!
"The days in the Great Horn Exo Society were the most unforgettable days for me after I came to 'this' world! Especially when the Great Horn Exo Society is fighting side by side against the True Fusion and the space swirl together!
"I assume that few people here have ever observed a True Fusion at a close distance, or even struggled in the surging tides it raised, right?
"It's like ten thousand suns exploding in front of your eyes at the same time. The tides of light and heat melted your soul and your cells!
"After experiencing that kind of pain, other kinds of pain are nothing."
"Fortunately, we escaped in the end, and I was blessed by the misfortune. I was enlightened by the True Fusion and made a breakthrough!"
It was the best explanation Li Yao could come up with for his capability.
How many Cultivators in the world of Cultivators could get in touch with a True Fusion and a space swirl at a close distance? It was not unusual for a Cultivator to be enlightened and make a breakthrough in a life-and-death situation.
Smiling, Li Yao quickly left the refining center before the reporters realized what was going on.
…
In the next few days, it was the elimination matches of other matches. The rules of the Skyhill Sword Seminar were relatively loose, and communication was more important. Therefore, Li Yao finally had time to take a breath in relief.
When he was not training, he logged into the 'World of Crystal Suit' under the name 'Fiend Star'.
Hardly had he entered the Q&A zone when thousands of invitations were sent to his face.
After he had flattered the name 'Fiend Star' in front of thousands of spectators in the Skyhill Sword Seminar, Fiend Star's popularity had soared crazily. Those who were willing to communicate with him were of a higher level, too. Most of them were professionals in the circle of refiners.
Most of the questions that he was invited to answer were, "What's your comment on the competition between Li Yao and Mo Tianshui in the Skyhill Sword Seminar?"
Some of them even asked him directly if he knew Li Yao and if he knew anything about his background.
Li Yao chuckled in his heart. Pondering for a long time, he left a message in the 'World of Crystal Suit' as Fiend Star.
"I've never heard of the name Li Yao before. But after studying the competition between him and Mo Tianshui, his style and techniques of refining reminded me of someone.
"It was many years ago. At that time, I was exploring a small ancient battlefield at the edge of the Silver Frost Space Zone. I accidentally ran into an eccentric man who only had one left hand.
"In order to compete for a piece of magical equipment, we had a competition of refining arts.
"Although the guy only had one arm, the final result was far beyond my expectation. I was brutally defeated by the guy!
"At that time, I had already made some progress in refining. Shocked, I naturally asked about the guy's background.
"But the guy took away the ancient magical equipment piece without saying anything and disappeared into the stone belt. No one knows where he went."
"At that time, the guy's face was already full of wrinkles, and his hair was white. He must have been very old. Maybe two to three hundred years old.
"Today, I can vaguely see the shadow of the guy from Li Yao. I can't help but recall the past …"
After leaving behind this line of words that would cause one's imagination to run wild, Li Yao happily logged off.
After all, whatever he said was unverifiable. As for how other people would relate to him, it was their business.
As a result, his identity and the origin of his refining arts were even more obvious.
Ignoring the uproar that his speech raised on the Spiritual Nexus, Li Yao devoted himself to training and prepared for the next round of competition. Then, a message from the Spiritual Nexus made his eyes shine.
It was a congratulatory message from the Great Horn Exo Society! (To be continued.)
