208 Chapter 1366: Let Me Teach You! (1/2)

”The Heavenly Demon Great Sorrow Fist…”

The disappearance of the folded space meant that the ancient domain had become nothing more than a part of history. Even though they were relieved that they had managed to survive the collapse, they still could not help but feel dismay regarding the loss of Ancient Sage Qiu Wu's heritage.

An unparalleled battle technique was right before them… and they missed it just like that.

”Even though I only managed to memorize a few lines, it's still a battle technique left behind by Ancient Sage Qiu Wu. If I can internalize it well, I should be able to raise my fighting prowess significantly,” Yuan Xiao said.

”Why don't we do this? Let's regurgitate the content that we memorized, put it all together, and analyze it. This way, we can at least make the best out of what we know of the Heavenly Demon Great Sorrow Fist?”

”I guess that's all we can do now!”

Bi Hongyin and the others quickly nodded in agreement.

A battle technique of the Heavenly Demon Great Sorrow Fist's tier was extremely difficult to comprehend. Every single line carried a deep conception and great significance. Even though they had only managed to memorize a couple of lines, if they could just study it thoroughly, they should still be able to benefit greatly from it.

”Luo Xuanqing, you have the best memory of us all. Why don't you go first?”

”Un.” Luo Xuanqing nodded. ”The four lines that I have memorized are…”

As one of the top geniuses of the Luo Clan, he possessed superb memory. In just a short one to two minutes, he actually managed to memorize more than a hundred words.

Hearing that what they had memorized was the exact same as what Luo Xuanqing had said, Yuan Xiao and the others heaved a sigh of relief.

Just as they were about to start analyzing what those four lines meant, Yun Lianhai suddenly spoke up.

”I think I got the fifth line…”

Everyone quickly turned their gazes over with their bodies trembling in agitation. ”You memorized the fifth line?”

”I think so.” Yun Lianhai nodded as he quickly regurgitated the fifth line.

As a treasure hunter, possessing a good memory was of vital importance in order to be able to put clues together. As good as Luo Xuanqing's memory was, it was still slightly lacking compared to Yun Lianhai's.

”Amazing. Even though it's only five lines, it seems to have already opened up a new world to me,” Luo Xuanqing remarked in awe as he ruminated over the words for a moment.

At this point, a thought suddenly flashed across his mind, and he turned to the silent Zhang Xuan. ”Zhang shi, what about you? How many lines have you remembered?”

”Me?”

Zhang Xuan had been too preoccupied lamenting over the destruction of the folded space that he had not really heard what the others were saying. He felt that if he could have gotten the Myriad Anthive Queen to swallow the space, he would have been able to increase the space in the Myriad Anthive nest significantly.

He was slightly startled by the abrupt question before responding, ”Oh, I managed to memorize everything.”

”You m-memorized… everything?”

Flabbergasted.

They were all Saint 7-dan and Half Saint 8-dan experts, possessing superior analytical abilities, but even so, they only managed to memorize five lines in total.

But he actually memorized everything?

”Indeed.” Zhang Xuan nodded.

”Then… can you recite the content for us?” Luo Xuanqing asked in agitation.

”Sure. Actually, why don't I just write it down for you? This way, you can refer to it whenever you want to…”

With a tap of his finger, a surge of zhenqi shot forth from Zhang Xuan's fingers before abruptly bursting apart in the sky, forming a massive screen of light. Slowly, words began surfacing on the light screen.

It was the cultivation method for the Heavenly Demon Great Sorrow Fist!

He just had to use the Library of Heaven's Path to collect the entire manual, so it did not even take him half a breath to memorize everything. All he had to do now was bring it out word for word, so it was no trouble at all.

”This…”

Looking at the screen filled with words before them, everyone gulped as they shot glances of disbelief at Zhang Xuan.

To memorize so many words within just a minute or two… Just how in the world did he manage to do it?

At this moment, Yun Lianhai suddenly exclaimed, ”Wait a moment, Zhang shi. There are a few words in your manual that are different from what I memorized.”

Everyone turned their gazes over and saw Yun Lianhai pointing toward the third line. Indeed, there were three words in the third line that were different from what they had discussed and agreed on earlier.

Even though it was only a difference of three words, this alteration gave a completely different direction and conception to the battle technique.

Could it be that… even though that fellow did manage to memorize the entire manual, his memory on certain portions was flawed?

If that was the case, they should not practice this version of the Heavenly Demon Great Sorrow Fist even if it formed a complete manual.

It was still fine if one failed to memorize a cultivation technique or battle technique—what was truly dangerous was if one had remembered it incorrectly. Even the slightest mistake in cultivation could possibly lead to one treading down the wrong path, possibly resulting in one's cultivation going berserk.

”Oh. After I was done memorizing the Heavenly Demon Great Sorrow Fist, I had some time to examine it closely. I realized that the cultivation technique had quite a few problems, so I made some alterations to it. However, due to the limitations of my knowledge, I was only able to correct a couple of the flaws.” Zhang Xuan sighed, and his head reddened in embarrassment.

If he had more Saint high-tier fist art manuals to refer to, he would have been able to correct more of the flaws. So far, of the 31 flaws, he had only managed to correct three of them, which was not even a tenth of the total. This was truly a huge failure on his part.

”A-alterations?”

The crowd nearly spurted a mouthful of blood.

While we were struggling to memorize two to five lines of the manual, you managed to memorize everything and even alter it.

Their faces flushed red, and they felt as if they were about to explode from the sheer frustration bubbling within them.

Quick at setting up formations? Fine, we'll tolerate that!

Quick at deciphering poison? Alright, we'll accept that too!

Quick at helping others achieving a breakthrough? Fine, we'll take that grudgingly as well…

But to be able to memorize a manual that quickly and even have time to alter it… Don't you think that you are showing off a bit too much?

”Why don't you just give me a while first? If I can refer to the fist art manuals back at the Sanctum of Sages, I should be able to perfect it further, thus bringing its might up to a new height,” Zhang Xuan said.
