Zhao Yi: "I'm talking to you, don't be so formal with ."
Li Zhiyuan: "How can I accept this? You helped , and now I'm taking sothing from you."
Zhao Yi: "I'm soone who loves making friends, and among friends, there's a bond of sharing."
Li Zhiyuan didn't respond.
Zhao Yi thought to strike while the iron is hot and settle this matter, after all, he was currently helping and had the upper hand: "Wait..."
Li Zhiyuan: "Alright."
In the state of Walking Yin, you could see the young man's face, appearing with faint lines of paint, very light and not clear, just barely showing so color, like another way of opening the face.
Zhao Yi, not displeased by the interruption, was instead startled and puzzled: "What did you add to the Puppetry Technique?"
"The Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Sutra."
"Related to the official?"
"Yes."
"How does it compare to the official's legacy?"
"Mine is more complete."
Zhao Yi watched Li Zhiyuan's hands still making seals, this action, not only no longer synchronized with the hands on the coffin but had many unique additions.
This was no longer simple imitation but learning while modifying, and simultaneously rging with another skill.
"You're truly a... freak."
This was a term Zhao Yi's family often called him as a child, born with severe rickets, no dicine could help, and it wasn't until he was eight that he could barely support himself against a wall to walk.
His childhood was spent on Old Huang's back.
Old Huang would often carry him to play with other kids, but the mont they saw him, they would scatter, shouting words like "freak."
Children's minds were the purest, it wasn't disdain but jealousy.
Because although Zhao Yi was weak and couldn't walk since childhood, he was incredibly smart, and the longer he lived, the more expectations the elders had for him.
The young Zhao Yi could only console himself, perhaps, he really was a freak.
But now, looking at this young man... Zhao Yi suddenly felt, perhaps he wasn't so abnormal after all.
He even wanted to ask: Was your childhood unhappy too?
Li Zhiyuan reminded: "You're daydreaming."
Zhao Yi: "Yes."
Li Zhiyuan: "Focus, you need to help relieve so pressure."
The main thing is not to drop the "learning" aspect, which took up at least half the energy, later on when using it alone, it would be manageable.
Zhao Yi: "Alright."
Li Zhiyuan: "After I finish learning the Nuo Puppetry Technique, I'll write it down and print a set for you."
This lesson was one Zhao Yi helped with, so naturally the post-class notes had to be shared with him.
Zhao Yi: "Thank you, but I can't afford it."
Zhao Yi didn't even ask which version because they were all the sa.
The original version was too luxurious, and the new version was unlearnable.
Li Zhiyuan: "You can learn it."
Zhao Yi: "Thank you for the confidence, I'm touched."
Then, Zhao Yi added: "But not cost-effective."
Li Zhiyuan: "I can help you break it down, explain it, reduce your learning cost."
Zhao Yi: "That's not what I an, it's just suitable for your current age when you can't practice martial arts, it can make up for your weaknesses, but I'm already an adult."
Li Zhiyuan: "Learn this so that next ti you open the Life and Death Door, you won't be so defenseless."
Zhao Yi's expression changed.
In reality, standing behind Li Zhiyuan, Zhao Yi's body trembled slightly.
"Thank you, this ti I'm really touched."
Li Zhiyuan: "No need to thank , it's what you deserve."
Zhao Yi looked at the young man in front of him and sighed silently.
The Zhao's Heart Inquiry Technique was sothing the young man wanted to see, but he didn't take him up on it because he didn't want to help his family improve their cultivation technique.
Zhao Yi previously thought the person was petty, but such pettiness was understandable, given how far his sches had gone.
But the truth is, it wasn't pettiness but rather a matter of identity and standing; he, as a successor of the Qin and Liu Families, couldn't just enhance the Jiujiang Zhao's cultivation technique carelessly. After all, the Jiujiang Zhao, though not the orthodox Dragon King family, couldn't simply beco vassals to the Qin and Liu Families.
He truly was willing to offer things, breaking down the Nuo Puppetry Technique and giving it to him, reducing his learning cost, and even designing the application scenarios for him.
So the next ti he opened the Life and Death Door, he could sit in a wheelchair, controlling puppets.
Say what you will, the style was indeed quite nice, with a unique charm to it.
Heh,
you're really generous.
No wonder your subordinates improved so quickly, each one, compared to when we t at Shizhuo Zhao, is completely different, and no wonder the atmosphere among your subordinates is so good.
At that mont, Zhao Yi's heart surged with a faint sense of regret.
If only he hadn't chosen Lighting the Lamp and Walking on the River, but instead joined his team, it might've been nice.
Alas, 'if only' was just that.
The generations of Dragon Kings walking on the river didn't have to kill all competitors; as Liu Yui said, the Dragon King would subdue the current generation.
Zhao Yi was now convinced, he knew that as long as this young man didn't fall, his path to being a Dragon King was blocked, destined not to happen.
Fortunately, the ancestral mindset was with him, so he wasn't despondent or self-destructive.
Who can say for sure about the world's affairs, who knows, if one day you have an accident, fall victim to the jealousy of the heavens and et an untily death, then this Dragon King position would have to be mine, no one else is qualified!
Suddenly, the increased calculation volu surged at Zhao Yi's brow, interrupting his reflection and thoughts.
"Ah..."
Zhao Yi let out a cry of pain.
In reality, his face twisted and contorted.
