From the Metropolis to the Strongest in the Cosmos

The Blade Slaughter Sect Master and Yuan Wu, two powerful Deities, were talking.

Li Yang stood respectfully to the side, wondering inwardly, ’Did Master give Yuan Wu some kind of treasure?’

The Blade Slaughter Sect Master had previously sent him to the Fire Nether Divine Beast clan, where he had obtained a Fire Spirit Pearl.

To do so, the Blade Slaughter Sect Master first had to go and negotiate with the experts within the Fire Nether Divine Beast clan.

Asking for something from others obviously requires calling in favors. It couldn’t possibly have been as easy as the Blade Slaughter Sect Master made it seem.

And now, the Blade Slaughter Sect Master had specially brought Yuan Wu here to teach him.

Even if his Talent was great and many people were optimistic about his future, it was very difficult to have someone teach you when you weren’t their disciple.

Yuan Wu hadn’t even established a sect; it was clear he didn’t enjoy teaching disciples. Moreover, his strength was no less than that of the Blade Slaughter Sect Master.

The stronger someone was, the greater the price to invite them over.

However, Li Yang said nothing about the efforts his Master had made, simply keeping these thoughts silently in his heart.

The Blade Slaughter Sect Master left, and soon only Yuan Wu and Li Yang remained in the vast, flat clearing.

’Blade Slaughter really holds Li Yang in high regard,’ Yuan Wu thought, looking at the incredibly weak young man before him.

Li Yang was only at the Longevity Realm. No matter how much of a genius he was, he was still an exceptionally weak existence in Yuan Wu’s eyes.

"Li Yang, Blade Slaughter said you’ve been studying my attack techniques. Which one have you learned? Perform it for me."

Yuan Wu instructed, looking at Li Yang.

"Yes," Li Yang nodded.

He clenched his right hand, and a longsword appeared. He immediately executed a Sword Technique.

"Oh?" As Yuan Wu watched, he could see that the Sword Technique almost perfectly merged the Teleportation Profound Skill of the Space Law, the Explosion Profound Skill of the Thunder Law, and the Melting Essence Profound Skill of the Fire Element Law. However, the Melting Essence Profound Skill was the strongest component, making it a bit different from the Sword Technique he had created. Since it was an attack he had designed, he could naturally see through it at a glance.

Although the attack was the same, and both he back then and Li Yang now had grasped these three profound skills, the depth of their comprehension was definitely different.

This caused Li Yang’s execution of the attack to still have some differences from the one he had created.

When Li Yang finished, Yuan Wu nodded and said, "Not bad. The fusion of the three profound skills in this attack is quite good."

"However, there are still some flaws. Watch this."

Yuan Wu waved his right hand, and a Sword Technique manifested. It was exactly the same as the one Li Yang had just performed, yet slightly different.

"This is..."

Li Yang watched intently. Having comprehended the Teleportation, Explosion, and Melting Essence Profound Skills, he could naturally sense the fluctuations of these three skills within the Sword Technique.

But now, in the Sword Technique Yuan Wu had casually conjured, the fluctuations of the three Law-based profound skills were an exact match for his own current level of comprehension!

Previously, those attacks had been highly compatible with Li Yang, but they were still missing something, never reaching a state of one hundred percent compatibility.

No matter how compatible they were, there would always be a difference between the Law-based profound skills Li Yang comprehended and those Yuan Wu had comprehended when he first created the attacks.

But now, those differences had vanished in an instant.

’He truly is a top-tier genius at creating attacks,’ Li Yang marveled inwardly.

This Yuan Wu was a creative genius. Others had to toil for ages to create just a few attacks, but Yuan Wu could create them with a casual wave of his hand.

"Do you understand now?" Yuan Wu asked after he finished his demonstration.

"I understand," Li Yang said directly.

"Good. Since you understand, perform it for me," Yuan Wu instructed, his expression still calm.

"Yes." Li Yang nodded and performed the Sword Technique once more.

And with just this one repetition, his execution of the Sword Technique was already different from before.

As Yuan Wu watched carefully, seeing Li Yang perfectly replicate the attack he had just demonstrated, a hint of admiration appeared in his eyes. ’What powerful Talent in the Fire Element, Space, and Thunder Laws.’

He was the one who created the attacks, so of course he knew that the stronger one’s Talent in the Fire Element, Space, and Thunder Laws, the more one would be inspired by them.

And after he had demonstrated it just once, Li Yang had essentially mastered it perfectly.

This proved that Li Yang’s Talent in the Fire Element, Space, and Thunder Laws were all top-tier!

It was no joke. With a naturally-born Deity avatar, two World Realm level avatars, and his Fire Nether Divine Beast avatar currently comprehending inside the Inheritance Tower of the Fire Nether Divine Beast clan, one could only imagine how fast he could master things.

"Mm, these attacks seem to resonate strongly with you. For this month, I won’t teach you anything else. I’ll focus solely on explaining these techniques," Yuan Wu said with a faint smile.

Since Li Yang was so inspired by the attacks he had created, teaching him those directly would actually be more effective.

At this moment, a smile also appeared on Yuan Wu’s face.

Before, he had absolutely no interest in teaching Li Yang. He only agreed because the Blade Slaughter Sect Master had promised him that thing.

He had originally planned to just teach casually for a month and then leave, but now he was clearly taking it seriously.

’Smart, talented, and gets it instantly. This is the kind of disciple who’s a pleasure to teach.’

What Yuan Wu hated most were slow-witted apprentices. He had actually taken on a disciple before, but he gave up after teaching for a while.

He was a genius at creating and a genius at learning. But his own disciple couldn’t learn what, in his eyes, was incredibly simple—an attack he could create a variation of with a casual gesture.

That was why he couldn’t be bothered to establish a sect or teach disciples.

But the Li Yang before him was very smart; he learned an attack as soon as he saw it.

"Continue. Perform the next attack," Yuan Wu instructed.

Li Yang continued to perform.

And just like that, Li Yang continued to learn.

The month of instruction passed quickly.

"Blade Slaughter, my time is up. I’ll be leaving now."

A month meant a month. When the time came, Yuan Wu didn’t linger at all and simply turned to leave.

"Haha, Yuan Wu, why not stay for a couple of drinks?" the Blade Slaughter Sect Master laughed heartily.

"I can’t," Yuan Wu refused directly. "I have something else to do."

After he left, the Blade Slaughter Sect Master looked at Li Yang and asked with a smile, "Well, Li Yang, how did this past month feel?"

A broad smile covered Li Yang’s face. "Master, this one month was probably equivalent to four months of training."

Under the guidance of an expert like Yuan Wu, a genius at creating attacks, he had indeed improved a great deal in just one month.

In terms of progress alone, he had saved three months of time!

That meant that in this one month, his rate of progress had quadrupled!

"That’s good," the Blade Slaughter Sect Master said, nodding with a smile.

By specially inviting Yuan Wu to teach Li Yang, he was clearly giving Li Yang some special treatment, hoping he would pass the ninth step of the Path of Deities faster than Lan Yu.

Besides, that Lan Yu had an Emperor for a teacher. What was wrong with him inviting Yuan Wu, a mere Divine Realm expert, to teach his own disciple?

He wasn’t afraid of what others might say.
