103 Inner Court Elder (1/2)

Xiao Fang and Jiang Mei spent the next hour going over the contents of the scroll, but everything she planned to explain to him was explained by him instead. It seemed that he really did understand everything. His talent and comprehensive abilities were far above anyone she had ever met.

'At this rate, he might really pass the exam,' she thought.

”Now, shall we proceed to the next step?” Xiao Fang asked.

”Un.”

[ The process goes: Comprehension, Practice, then Experience ]

Since Xiao Fang was able to breakthrough to the 1st stage, that meant that he had already comprehended the words in the scroll. Naturally, the next step was to put it into practice.

She put the scroll away then began to demonstrate the things he learned, step by step.

She released her Illusory qi then began to show him the nature of it by performing a few low level techniques like 'Mimicry', 'Duplication', and 'Spirit Diversion'. However, Xiao Fang only needed to see them once to fully grasp it.

Jiang Mei was surprised once again. Understanding the theory of things is one thing, but to immediately understand it after seeing it in action is several times harder.

...

Truth was, Xiao Fang had already seen those techniques before.

Back when Xiao Fang was in the Divine Sword sect, his father would take him to see the most important tournament held every year.

The strongest sect in each province would send their best inner and core court disciples to take part in this annual tournament.

Only big name people or those with connection were allowed to see it because there just wasn't enough room to contain the hundreds of thousands of people that wanted to be there.

From all the big name people that came, the real guest of honor were those that came from the Royal Court. To them this was nothing more than simple entertainment, but for the 13 sects they were battling with their prides on the line.

Depending on how well they did in this tournament it could change their overall standings in the country. While the Divine Sword sect would usually place 3rd, the Black Paradise sect was usually last. The only reason he started paying attention to them was because his mother, Yu An, often told him about her experiences in that sect. That's where he learned everything about them and their technique.

Seeing the technique then and now was completely different. Before it just seemed like some kind of magic trick, but after comprehending the incomplete version of the Illusory Body method and breaking through to the 1st stage of the [ Illusory Body ] spirit foundation realm, he was able to understand how it all worked.

Since Jiang Mei didn't have any lectures to teach that day, she spent the whole day going through the incomplete 'Illusory Body' method with him.

His ability to comprehend cultivation methods was unprecedented. He wasn't just a demon level genius, whatever he was, no one even came close.

Before Xiao Fang left the Divine Sword sect, his mother told him something he couldn't forget. Something about his eyes that made him special.

Now after the whole fiasco with absorbing (not stealing) Xun Wei's [ Stealth ] ability, and now this, he felt that he finally understood what his mother was getting at.

Everyone that he dual cultivated with, he wouldn't just be absorbing their Yin qi for his dual cultivation method, they were also providing comprehension in all of the cultivation techniques and methods that they had learned.

What does that mean for his future? Wouldn't that mean he could learn any difficult technique or easily breakthrough any bottleneck by just sleeping with someone? Could that be the reason why he was able to catch up to Xiao Hei so quickly with the Heavenly Realm movement technique?

Even Xiao Fang felt that it was too hard to believe, so he didn't entertain the thought for long. If this was true, his future was truly limitless.

If he wanted to become stronger, he needed to find higher realm cultivators to cultivate with. The sooner the better.

Later that night, Jiang Mei's friend arrived, bringing the inner court elder with her.

”So? What did he say?”
