The person before him was likely to be a 6-star master teacher, and his student, Zhang Xuan, had broken countless records in the guild. If he really wanted to make a name for himself, there was no need for him to prove himself. As long as he said that he was his student, he would be able to win the envy of countless geniuses.
"Yang shi, please forgive me. I have misspoken!"
Su shi hurriedly apologized.
"Enough!"
Zhang Xuan waved his hands. "If that's all, you can leave now. Whether Zhang Xuan is willing to participate in the tournament or not is entirely up to him. I won't question him! I'm only responsible for guiding and giving pointers. I'm not a babysitter who has to manage everything. "
"We have been too rash..."
Hearing the other party's intention to chase them away, Su shi and Ling shi hurriedly stood up. After a moment of hesitation, they were just about to bid farewell when the former gritted his teeth and said, "It's my honor to meet Yang shi today. I have some doubts regarding my cultivation that I would like to ask Yang shi for guidance."
That was a 6-star master teacher, and it was rare for one to meet one in one's entire life. If they didn't ask him some questions, they would surely regret it when they returned.
"What doubts do you have?"
Zhang Xuan clenched his fists tightly, but on the surface, he didn't seem to mind it at all.
This was what one feared the most when pretending to be a high-level master teacher. However, since the other party had opened his mouth, he had no choice but to answer the other party's question.
Seeing that the other party had no intention of rejecting him, Su shi heaved a sigh of relief. Delight flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly said, "The cultivation technique I cultivate is the Miniature Yang Art. Every time I drive it to the seventh circulation, I feel as though my body is being torn apart, and I'm unable to continue any further. I have no idea why!"
"Miniature Yang Art?" Zhang Xuan's eyes darkened.
Even though he had assimilated the knowledge of Tianwu Kingdom into his body, he had never heard of this cultivation technique before, needless to say, the sixth circulation or seventh circulation!
"Cultivate it for a while, let me take a look!"
Even though he was stifled, Zhang Xuan didn't panic. Instead, he slowly lifted his teacup, and his movements were calm and elegant.
"Yes!" Su shi nodded.
To guide a master teacher, one had to look at one's cultivation before deciding on the right course of action.
Walking to the center of the hall, Zhang Xuan sat down cross-legged, and a concentrated spiritual energy immediately gathered around him.
Tzzzzzzzzz!
The speed at which the air was drawn was so fast that a violent sonic boom sounded.
"Incredible …"
Seeing the speed at which the other party was absorbing spiritual energy, Zhang Xuan's eyebrows twitched.
As expected of a 4-star great teacher, he was truly extraordinary.
"Flaws!"
With this, Zhang Xuan would have a basis for his cultivation. With a thought, a book appeared in the Library of Heaven's Path.
He casually flipped it open and glanced at it.
"Su Fan, 4-star primary master teacher, Transcendent Mortal expert, Elder Mingshi Tang of the League of Nations. Cultivation Method: Miniature Yang Technique. Flaws: … "
It was densely packed with detailed information.
After assimilating all of the knowledge in the Library of Heaven's Path into his mind, he knew that the realm above Fighter 9 dans was [Transcendent Mortal].
The 9-dan of a Fighter requires one to cultivate the strength of a mortal to the limits before one can dispel the mundane and ascend to sainthood.
Just like Fighter, Transcendent Mortal realm was divided into nine dans. However, the books in Tianwu Kingdom didn't provide any detailed information on the cultivation realms.
However, to be a Transcendent Mortal expert, the young man before him had already surpassed the realm of Zhizun realm. Be it his physical body, spirit, or vitality, they had all reached an extremely high level.
It was like the difference between Ghost Weapons and Spirit Weapons.
There was a huge gap between them.
After reading through the flaws recorded in the book, a bizarre expression appeared on Zhang Xuan's face.
…
As soon as Su shi started cultivating, Ling shi's gaze turned to Yang shi.
He knew of this flaw of his old friend. He had looked through countless resources and even asked the higher-tiered guilds through the Communication Wall, but no one was able to answer his question.
Since he had asked the question, he was curious to see how the other party would observe and guide him.
A person who was able to offer pointers to a genius like Zhang Xuan, a master teacher who was likely to surpass 6-star, would surely be of great help to Zhang Xuan's advancement in the future as well.
Thus, Ling shi focused his gaze and studied earnestly.
However, after a moment, a deep frown appeared on his forehead, and a series of questions surfaced in his mind.
It was normal for a master teacher to instruct the other party to cultivate a cultivation technique or battle technique so that they could study it carefully. But … the young man before him had only taken a glance before closing his eyes, not moving at all. What in the world was he up to?
Don't you have the Eye of Insight?
Shouldn't you use this unique ability to observe the crux of one's cultivation?
Why didn't it work?
Furthermore, even if he did use the Eye of Insight, the crux of a cultivation technique was different from that of a battle technique. He should have taken a few more glances or even questioned the crux of the matter before making a decision!
To close his eyes as though he was asleep … What kind of method was this?
Ling shi was bewildered.
Similar to a physician, a master teacher had to observe the crux of a cultivator carefully in order to find the crux of the problem.
As a 4-star master teacher, he knew more than ten thousand ways to observe a cultivator, but there wasn't a single one where he closed his eyes and went into a daze after just a glance …
"It can't be that … he can't solve it either?"
A thought popped into his mind.
Possessing the Eye of Insight, he didn't doubt that the other party was a fake expert. He was just worried that his good friend would return empty-handed.
"There's no need to practice anymore!"
Just as Ling shi was perplexed, Yang shi opened his eyes once more. His face was calm, devoid of emotion.
"Yes!"
Stopping, Su shi turned to look at Yang shi expectantly.
"Yang shi … Have you found a solution?" Ling shi jolted.
To close his eyes after a single glance... Could it be that he managed to see through the crux of the problem and found a solution?
"Solution?"
Zhang Xuan shook his head. "There's no problem with his cultivation, and the Miniature Solar Art is compatible with his physical constitution!"
"Then …"
The duo was taken aback.
If there was no problem with his cultivation, and the cultivation technique was compatible with his physical constitution, why was he unable to continue after reaching the seventh circulation?
"You wish to reach the eighth circulation?"
Instead of answering the other party's question, Zhang Xuan turned to look at Su shi.
"Yes! I've been stuck at the seventh circulation for more than five years now, and I've been unable to find a way to break through it … "
Su shi hurriedly nodded his head.
The Minor Pure Yang Art he cultivated was a spirit-class technique, which he had been cultivating for no less than fifty years, and had experienced countless winters and summers. He thought that he would be able to reach the ninth circulation in a single go and become a 5-star master teacher …
Never in his wildest dreams did he expect that he would be stuck at the seventh circulation.
For five consecutive years, he had been unable to advance any further. He had consulted countless master teachers and even the elders of the guild, but they were all unable to come to a conclusion.
"If you wish to reach the eighth circulation, listen to my instructions. Don't show any hesitation or resistance!"
Walking over slowly, Zhang Xuan placed his hands behind his back.
"Alright!" Su shi gritted his teeth.
This was an expert who had produced a Celestial Master Teacher. Since the other party had spoken, this was definitely a good opportunity for him.
"Very well. Start cultivating now. When you reach the seventh circulation, I'll find a way for you to achieve a breakthrough. However, before that, you have to close your eyes and focus on driving the cultivation technique!"
Zhang Xuan waved his hands.
"Yes!"
Taking in a deep breath, Su shi sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate.
"You mustn't sit down. Instead, you have to stand up and practice the horse stance!"
Zhang Xuan instructed.
"Practice the horse stance?"
Su shi was taken aback for a moment, but it didn't take long before he nodded his head.
At his level of cultivation, he was capable of multitasking. Putting aside the horse stance, he could even cultivate while executing a fist technique.
"Let's begin!"
Knowing the requirements, Su shi took in a deep breath and closed his eyes.
Gugugugu!
The spiritual energy in the air was absorbed into his body, and as though water droplets were added into boiling oil, a series of hums sounded.
The Miniature Solar Art was a cultivation technique that harnessed superior yang energy. Against those of the same cultivation realm, one would be able to exert immense strength.
This was precisely the reason why Su shi and Ling shi were both 4-star primary stage master teachers.
Seeing the other party enter a state of oblivion, Zhang Xuan nodded his head in satisfaction. Placing his hands behind his back, he circled around the other party before turning to Ling shi.
"Do you wish to help him?"
Ling shi was taken aback. "How can I help him?"
Aren't you the one who needs to guide him? Why is there a need for me?
"Just listen to my instructions!"
Zhang Xuan.
"Alright!" Ling shi replied.
The other party closed his eyes after taking a look. This had already left him perplexed, and now that the other party was asking for his help, his curiosity was piqued.
He was curious to see what kind of method the other party was going to use to help him achieve a breakthrough to the eighth circulation.
"Wait a moment!"
Seeing the other party agree to it, Zhang Xuan stood silently on the spot without any expression on his face.
Gugugu!
By the side, as Su shi cultivated, his aura gradually grew stronger, reminiscent of a tiger and a dragon.
"Fourth circulation, fifth circulation... sixth circulation!"
Sensing the other party's aura, Ling shi's face turned grim.
The two of them were familiar with each other, and they knew the crux of the Miniature Solar Art as well. Thus, they knew how many times the other party had circulated the cultivation technique in his body.
Kacha!
After the sixth circulation, the seventh circulation began, and 'jiya!' sounds echoed from Su shi's bones. It sounded as though something was being torn apart. His muscles ruptured, and fresh blood spurted out.
In the blink of an eye, the scholarly Su shi had turned into a demon who had crawled out from hell.
"Yang shi, Su shi... might not be able to hold on much longer..."
Seeing the state his old friend was in, Ling shi's face warped in panic.
He was familiar with the other party, and he knew that he had already reached his limit. If he were to continue on, not only would he be unable to achieve a breakthrough, he might even sustain severe injuries.
It was precisely because his old friend's cultivation hadn't advanced in the slightest for the past five years that he had been looking around for information. When he heard that Yang shi was formidable, he immediately came over to ask about it.
"Un, you can begin now. Come over here!"
Nodding his head, Zhang Xuan gestured.
"Yes!"
Ling shi hurriedly walked over.
"You just have to do this..."
Seeing the other party walk over, Zhang Xuan sent a telepathic message to Ling shi, explaining his secret technique in detail.
"This... This..."
After hearing the other party's secret technique, Ling shi's mouth twitched, and his eyes widened in shock. His entire body froze on the spot, and he was on the verge of tears.
What the heck is this method? You want me to kill him, right?
"This... Will it really work?"
(Monday, don't forget to vote for me!)
