"Oh!" Lin ilin’s eyes narrowed into slits as her eyes darted between Yang Ze in front of her and the afterimage left behind that turned into a small speck of internal energy before falling to the ground and creating a small explosion that was enough to kill a mortal in an instant.
"Interesting."
Yang Ze’s figure didn’t just stop in front of her, but kept on circling around her. In less than five seconds, there were almost twenty afterimages left around her that all soon turned into specks of internal energy, creating explosions all around Lin ilin, who didn’t even move from her initial position.
It wasn’t until the dust from the nurous explosions settled that Yan Ze appeared in front of her with a proud face.
"How was it?"
Even though he didn’t an to show off, he was undoubtedly proud of his skill. This was a technique that he created by himself. Although ninety-nine percent of it was due to enlightennt, the one percent was undoubtedly his effort.
Lin ilin’s corner of lips twitched as she looked at the brat pointing his nose to heaven as if he had done sothing earth-shattering.
While it was true his self-created technique was good and worthy of praise, it was hardly sothing special. If it were to be placed in the Major Sects, it would undoubtedly be placed at the bottom.
Initially, Lin ilin wanted to praise him and tell him to keep up the good work, but upon looking at his smug and prideful face, she swallowed back her praise and just let out a cold snort.
"Hmph!"
"If this skill were thrown in front of a sect mber, they wouldn’t even touch it."
"What is there to be so proud of?"
"Just a normal movent skill that looks fancy without any substance."
"?????" Her blunt words caught Yang Ze by surprise, who was waiting to hear her praise. For a mont, Yang Ze’s expression froze, and he almost forgot to reply. And by the ti he ca back to his senses and wanted to argue with her, Lin ilin’s rciless voice shut him up.
"What is the use of this movent technique other than leaving behind an afterimage?"
"The only thing it does is waste internal energy that explodes."
"Isn’t it enough to simply create an afterimage? What is the need for explosions?"
"And besides... What even are you going to do with these explosions?"
"You can’t possibly hope for the enemy to stand still while you jump on his head with this technique, right?"
"Not to ntion if such an absurd scenario plays out or not, even if it does, are your explosions enough to hurt the enemy?"
"These firecrackers can’t even hurt a body refining cultivator, and you hope to use them against soone in the sa realm or above?"
Listening to her blunt, rciless words, Yang Ze’s face flushed red with seven parts embarrassnt and three parts anger.
For a mont, he almost wanted to jump forward and have a good argunt with Lin ilin. But when he thought about everything that she just said, he found it hard to argue
In a sense, she was telling him the truth and pointing out the flaws in his movent technique.
"What do you think I should do then?" Instead of having an argunt, it was better to ask for her guidance. With such a powerhouse in front of him, it would be stupid of him not to ask for directions.
"Simple." Lin ilin simply shrugged in response. "Get rid of the explosion and if possible, keep the afterimage for a longer period."
"But if you still want to keep the explosion, instead of a burst of internal energy, try to shape it in so sharp object that would shoot toward your enemy."
She didn’t care whether he could do it or not, since he wanted her opinion, she was going to tell him her honest thoughts. As for how he was going to accomplish them, it was his headache.
"I... I see." Listening to her words, Yang Ze couldn’t help but nod in response. For others, changing a technique might be impossible or require an ungodly amount of ti and effort, but for him who had Enlightennt talent, it was just a matter of ti.
"Good." Lin ilin was pleased with his decisiveness. At first, she thought he would argue with her, but thankfully, he took her advice to heart.
"What else?"
With a deep breath, Yang Ze relaxed his body as he raised one hand in front of him while pulling the other back with his knees bent slightly.
"This is my attack technique."
With a grave expression, Yang Ze then punched towards Lin ilin in the distance with all his might.
"Black Tiger Technique."
In the next instant, an illusory five-ter black tiger appeared around his body before plunging towards Lin ilin in the distance.
The mont the illusory black tiger appeared, Lin ilin’s eyes narrowed into slits, and an expression of shock appeared on her fair face.
"SECOND GRADE?"
How could she not recognise the technique and its grade? In this Azure Dragon Continent, this was the first choice for beginners who had just started on the path of cultivation. Although the first grade only increased one’s punching strength, it was more than enough for those newbies who had just started their path of cultivation.
The second grade of the Black Tiger Technique, however, was a completely different story.
In this continent, she couldn’t rember anyone practising this technique until the second grade. This was why the technique, even after being so popular amongst the low-level cultivators, didn’t have true experts practising it. Everyone who had practised this technique knew that stepping into the Second Grade, where one could manifest a black tiger, was an impossible task.
But now that the brat in front of her had managed to reach this realm, how could she not be shocked?
She raised her hand subconsciously before waving it down to pat the head of the black tiger, squashing it like a waterlon.
In that instant, the entire illusory black tiger dissipated, but before she could co back to her senses, she saw the brat in front of her raise both his hands as a burst of grey fog burst out from him, and when it disappeared, what ca into her view was the figure of a gigantic tiger, almost ten to fifteen ters in size.
Looking at the extrely lifelike tiger in front of her that was looking at her without any expression in its eyes, she couldn’t help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
"Thi.... THIRD GRADE?"
Even though she had lived for countless years and was seldom surprised by anything, seeing Yang Ze transform into a black tiger shook her to the very core.
This was the legendary Third Grade of Black Tiger Technique that was a re myth... till now...
She had heard countless people ntion it, and she had seen countless people trying to reach it, but to no avail.
She, herself, had tried countless tis and failed.
And now that she was seeing such a thing in front of her being perford by a re brat, how could she not be surprised?
Words weren’t enough to describe the turmoil in her heart as she saw the black tiger in front of her raising its hand and smashing it towards her.
"How fascinating." This was the first ti, even for Lin ilin, to see the Third Grade of the Black Tiger Technique that had only been ntioned in books and had been nothing short of a legend... a myth.
But now seeing it in front of her own eyes... a flash of excitent flashed past her eyes, which she quickly controlled before rely raising her finger to block the attack.
Yang Ze’s mighty paw... that was almost half the size of Lin ilin ca to an abrupt halt the mont it ca in contact with her index finger.
Without wasting another second, Yang Ze used the tail as a whip to strike Lin ilin.
*Crack
With the sound of air being split apart, his tail slashed towards Lin ilin. Even a powerhouse in the realm of Vein Expansion would have been split into two if they ca in contact with such an attack, but this attack, which could split the earth, made no waves upon coming in contact with Lin ilin’s body. It was as if what he was hitting was not a person but a ball of cotton.
With both his paws and tails ineffective against Lin ilin, Yang Ze simply pounced towards her with his ’giant’ mouth open.
Looking at the sharp rows of teeth coming towards her as well as the body of the massive black tiger, Lin ilin finally let out a smile before pointing her fingers towards him and rely slashing them in the air.
In that instant, Yang Ze’s body froze mid-air, and his internal energy as well as ntal energy were sealed in an instant.
The massive tiger form that he made after consuming a massive amount of internal energy dissipated in seconds into nothingness.
"Well... you certainly are full of surprises, aren’t you?" With a smile, Lin ilin leisurely walked towards Yang Ze before raising her finger to poke his nose slightly.
"Who would believe that a re brat had managed to reach the third and final grade of the Black Tiger Technique that only exists in legends?"
"Tsk... tsk... tsk..."
Clicking her tongue in wonder, she suppressed the excitent before licking her lips and speaking in a soft voice.
"What else?"
"..."
"..."
Yang Ze went silent for a mont before letting out a helpless smile with a shake of his head.
"This is it." He truly didn’t have any more technique to show her.
"I do have one more attack skill that could summon a cyclone, but I guess you have seen it before."
"And now is neither the ti nor the place to perform it."
"Hmm... You are correct." Lin ilin simply nodded in response. Just like Yang Ze said, she had seen him use that cyclone skill a few tis already. And no matter how many tis she saw it, she was always fascinated by the strength of that skill that seed to have surpassed the strength of the Core Condensation realm. It was truly a trump card for the brat.
"But..." Seeing how Lin ilin was almost about to end her lesson, Yang Ze hurriedly spoke up.
"I do have a few auxiliary techniques."
"Oh! And what are they?" Lin Mielin’s interest once again flared. She wanted to know what else he was hiding under that otherworldly face.
"I can do this." With a smirk, Yang Ze simply jumped up as his body began to hover mid-air.
"Mmmm...." Lin ilin had seen him use the ability to fly before, so she wasn’t surprised by it.
She rely let out a nod, waiting for him to show further.
Yang Ze was clearly taken aback by this lack of interest. He was expecting her to ask so questions about how he managed to do it. But to his surprise, Lin ilin didn’t seem to care.
"What else?"
"I can conjure illusions..." With this, Yang Ze waved his hand as his figure seed to have disappeared out of the air.
Only Lin ilin shook her head before rolling her eyes.
"I have seen it."
"What else?"
Yang Ze thought for a long ti before suddenly patting his hands.
"Oh, that’s right... I have an auxiliary skill with which I can see hidden details about anything."
"I call it All-seeing eyes."
Initially, Yang Ze was hesitating whether he should tell her about this ability or not. In his mind, this was one of the most versatile and powerful abilities. It not only tells him various pieces of information about different items, but it also gives him the complete thod of the Spiritwing’s evolution.
The only drawback was that if he used it on a powerhouse, they might sense it.
Earlier, when he tried to use it to look at Lin ilin in the Heavenly Sword Sect, she imdiately sensed it. At that ti, he didn’t dare to use it, and after that... he never thought about it.
But now that there was a chance to look at Lin ilin with this skill, how could he give it up? He could finally use this skill to understand the woman whose entire personal panel was filled with question marks.
"Without any hesitation, Yang Ze used his all-seeing eyes as his eyes turned golden, and he finally looked at the woman in front of him.
In that instant, Lin ilin too felt sothing amiss as she saw his eyes turn golden and a feeling of peeking appeared in her mind.
But the next mont, her expression turned drastically as she imdiately raised her hand to stop Yang Ze.
"DON’T." She almost scread at the top of her lungs.
The skill this brat was using seed to see through one’s origin.
In that instant, Lin ilin took a step forward, wanting to prevent him from using it. For the first ti, her face was filled with panic.
Yang Ze, on the other hand, didn’t even have ti to react.
The mont he used his All-seeing eyes to take a look at Lin ilin, his forehead swelled, and his veins bulged as an overwhelming pain overtook his mind.
"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH"
With a scream that tore the silence of the peak, he retreated a few steps as both his eyes burst into flas... completely lting like a wax candle in just a few seconds.
The only thing left behind was the figure of Lin ilin frantically rushing towards Yang Ze and his wretched, painful cries.
