Chapter 82: Teaching (1/2)
Ma Rong looked at the complete non-existence of Alex in front of her and was surprised. ”So he got past the elders using this and the invisibility technique?” she asked.
”Yes. It's quite a good combination actually.” Alex said as he used the Veiled Light technique as well.
Suddenly, he was out of sight as well. Ma Rong immediately sent out her spiritual sense, and only then did she manage to find him.
”You learned this technique already too?” she asked.
Alex stopped using the invisibility technique, and also stopped concealing himself. ”Yeah.”
”Have you already learned the Elemental Guidance technique I gave you?” She asked.
Alex couldn't understand why she was asking all of these questions, so he simply answered, ”Of course. I learned it the moment you gave it to me.”
'Heavens! Is he even more of a genius than I thought he was?' Ma Rong couldn't comprehend how he could learn everything so fast.
”Listen to me. If anyone asks you how long it took you to learn the techniques, tell them it took you a few days or a week at least. If it is heaven grade or higher, tell them it took you about a month. Never tell anyone you learned it in a few hours.”
Ma Rong was very stern about it. Alex didn't understand what she was talking about.
'Why can't I learn it so fast? I'm already using up so much time by not using the system's learn function.'
”Is learning in a few hours good?” he couldn't help but ask.
”It's beyond good. Most normal people take about 2 to 5 days to learn a mortal grade technique. Earth grade techniques take them a little over a week. They can't learn a Heaven Grade technique without studying the book for about a fortnight or more. While Immortal grade techniques may take the cultivators anywhere from a few months to a few years to completely learn.”
”I myself was called a genius and it took me about 2 months to learn the [Flickering Shadows] technique. If someone with malicious intent finds out that you have so much talent, they might harm you out of envy and pettiness.”
”So, make sure you do not let anyone know about your talents. Doesn't matter if it's in cultivating, learning techniques, or alchemy. Always learn to be modest, and never reveal your true talents. Not even to your closest friends.”
Hearing the serious tone in Ma Rong's voice, Alex got serious as well. ”I understand, master.” He said.
”Good. Go and learn the technique from the library later. It's a movement technique that should help you a lot. Most of the alchemy techniques in the library should be useless to you now that you are so practiced at Qi manipulation and have spiritual sense. As for the battle techniques, don't even bother learning them.”
