Chapter 576 (2/2)

Rumble! Rumble!

The attacks created numerous explosions everywhere, displaying an offensive might that was completely beyond the Skysoar Realm and was comparable to those in the Dragon Ascension Realm. The gravekeeper elder sat there silently; his eyes still appeared empty and blank, yet it felt like he was able to clearly see Xiang Shaoyun's every action.

After an unknown amount of time, the elder finally said, ”Ok. That's all for now.”

Hearing that, Xiang Shaoyun quickly returned to the elder's side with his Overlord's Nine Nether Steps. He was dripping with sweat, completely exhausted from the battle. However, he could sense that the stars within his body had formed an unending cycle of circulation that helped quickly replenish his energy. That had never happened before.

Looks like filling all the nine stars has finally helped showcase the advantage of my physique, thought Xiang Shaoyun with a smile.

The unending cycle was the best tool for one to quickly grow and maintain one's condition during battle. Little did he know that this was only happening because the powers contained within his nine stars had also changed.

In the past, he only had several unique powers within him, whereas the rest of his stars only contained regular energies. Thus, there was no balance between the stars, and because of that, such an unending cycle had never happened.

”What do you think about your battle techniques?” asked the gravekeeper elder.

Xiang Shaoyun thought for a bit and said, ”Decent, I guess.”

”Hehe, looks like you are very happy with your usage of battle techniques,” the gravekeeper elder suddenly laughed. His face then turned solemn as he berated, ”What a mess!”

Xiang Shaoyun had not expected that remark, and he turned somewhat sullen. He was proficient in many types of battle techniques, and he believed that he had a good understanding of battle techniques and actual combat situations. He wouldn't have prevailed over so many opponents in the past otherwise. He believed the gravekeeper elder had only given him that evaluation due to the elder's high cultivation level.

”Hehe, looks like you're unconvinced,” said the elder. ”Watch.”

Right after he said that, seven figures appeared around them. All seven of them were the afterimages of the elder, and each of them was respectively demonstrating one of the battle techniques Xiang Shaoyun had used earlier.

Xiang Shaoyun focused on the seven figures, and initially, he did not feel like what they were doing was any different from what he did. But the more he watched, the more alarmed he became.

The figures were most definitely demonstrating the exact techniques he had used while battling the skeletons, yet the prowess they released was much greater compared to his versions.

In comparison, if Xiang Shaoyun was considered proficient in those techniques, then the elder's grasp on those techniques could be considered perfect. Using the same techniques with a different application of force and some other minor tweaks had completely changed their prowess.

Xiang Shaoyun's version of those techniques were cultivated in accordance to their learning materials. One could say that he was displaying a textbook version. As for the gravekeeper elder, his version was flexible, and each change of his seemed capable of pus.h.i.+ng their might to the peak.

In conclusion, the elder's changes had not only strengthened the techniques but had also simplified and turned them ingenious, allowing the techniques to flow together smoothly. He was displaying the techniques' perfect forms.
