Fang Bai wanted to help Gu Han, but no matter how he persuaded, Gu Han just shook his head, indicating he would keep his lips sealed and wouldn’t discuss or exchange insights on the Giant Spirit Technique with Fang Bai.
Fang Bai felt both amused and exasperated, coaxing, "Do you want to be respected by all the clan mbers like the other genius disciples of the Giant Clan? Do you want to beco the focus of attention and nurturing by the clan’s high-ranking mbers? Do you want to beco as powerful as your ancestor Gu Ta?"
"Yes!"
Gu Han nodded vigorously without hesitation.
Fang Bai floated off the ground, standing mid-air at shoulder level with Gu Han, and then gave Gu Han’s shoulder a hard pat, saying loudly, "Great! Since you want that, start listening to my lecture on the Giant Spirit Technique from now on! I promise you can advance to the second realm of the Heavenly Tribulation in ten days! Within a month, advance to the third realm of the Heavenly Tribulation!"
Gu Han was about the sa age as Fang Bai. If he could advance to the third realm of the Heavenly Tribulation, he would be considered a genius among the younger generation of the Giant Clan and would certainly attract the attention of the clan’s high-ranking mbers.
Hearing "the third realm of the Heavenly Tribulation," Gu Han’s breathing beca heavy, his eyes widened, emitting an intense glow, and he replied with a parched throat, "Just listening to your explanation is enough? I don’t need to divulge the Giant Spirit Technique?"
He figured that if Fang Bai explained the Giant Spirit Technique to him while he said nothing, it wouldn’t count as revealing the clan’s secret, and the clan’s high-ranking mbers wouldn’t punish him.
Seeing Fang Bai nod with a smile, Gu Han couldn’t hide his delight, rubbing his palm-sized hands together, saying, "Then... then I’ll listen to you!"
Thus, Fang Bai and Gu Han sat down in the courtyard.
Fang Bai articulated clearly, simplifying complexities, and explained in detail the Giant Spirit Technique he had imparted to the Giant Clan in the past to Gu Han.
Although Gu Han was not highly talented, nor particularly smart, he could understand most of it because Fang Bai explained the originally profound content in a very simple manner.
Fang Bai’s explanation was akin to opening a window for Gu Han, allowing him to see an entirely new world he had never seen before.
"So, how much did you understand?"
After explaining the Giant Spirit Technique once, Fang Bai saw Gu Han scratching his head in excitent, asked with a smile.
Gu Han, eyes glowing, face full of excitent said, "I understood most of it... It’s strange, it’s the sa Giant Spirit Technique, why can I understand your explanation, but I feel confused when our clan’s high-ranking mbers explain it?"
Fang Bai laughed, "Because I’m a renowned teacher! Only a renowned teacher can cultivate outstanding disciples!"
Gu Han muttered, "I’m not your disciple! Without the Clan Leader’s permission, our Giant Clan can’t accept outsiders as masters!"
Fang Bai rolled his eyes and chuckled, "Not to discourage you, but you’re not qualified to be my disciple! My explanation of the Giant Spirit Technique for you today is partly because I’m idle; secondly, because you have so commonalities with my two disciples, so I am giving you an opportunity. As for how much you can comprehend, I won’t interfere.
At this point, he flicked his finger lightly and a space ring slowly floated in front of Gu Han.
"Here are so cultivation resources for you. If you focus on cultivating for ten days, advancing to the second level of Heavenly Tribulation is not a problem. Take good care of yourself!"
The space ring contained so Royal Grade superior cultivation resources, which, for a younger generation disciple like Gu Han, who was not valued by the Giant Clan’s high ranks, were incredibly desirable.
Gu Han accepted the space ring and, upon sensing the Royal Grade superior cultivation resources within, trembled with excitent.
After thinking it over, he cupped his fists and bowed deeply to Fang Bai, to express his gratitude for Fang Bai’s explanation of the Giant Spirit Technique and the gift of cultivation resources.
In the days that followed, Fang Bai let Gu Han cultivate by himself in the courtyard, while he wandered around the Giant Clan’s territory.
One day, Fang Bai strolled slowly along the Nine Bends Riverbank; the erald-green river water sent waves of rich Water Spirit Qi, refreshing his mind.
He sat cross-legged under a dense tree by the riverbank, closed his eyes to cultivate, intending to consolidate the second realm of the Heavenly Tribulation he recently advanced.
Soon, a commotion approached from afar, and Fang Bai’s Divine Sense spread out, discovering a group of Giant Clan young disciples coming towards him.
"Gu Sheng, look, it’s that guy!"
Giant Clan young disciple Gu Sheng also saw Fang Bai then and excitedly pointed him out to Gu Bao.
"Yes, I see him."
Gu Bao’s gaze landed on Fang Bai, flashing with a bright light, clearly eager for action.
They both knew that Fang Bai was temporarily residing within the Giant Clan’s territory, and they always wanted to find a chance to showcase the strength of the Giant Clan’s young disciples and suppress Fang Bai’s arrogance. Seeing him before them now, they thought their chance had finally co.
"Gu Bao, let’s go and talk to him. If his attitude is good enough and he humbles himself sufficiently, then we’ll ignore him. Otherwise, let’s take this chance to have a spar and dampen his spirits, what do you think?"
Gu Sheng encouraged.
Gu Bao pondered, nodded and whispered, "Having a spar is fine, but no one should get hurt. Otherwise, it’d be hard to explain to the Clan Leader."
Gu Sheng excitedly said, "Understood!"
"Let’s go et him together! Let’s see what he’s made of that the clan’s high ranks hold him in such high regard! If he truly has talent, so be it; but if he’s using his sect’s influence to suppress us, we won’t let the Giant Clan’s prestige be tarnished!"
Gu Bao waved his hand, leading a group of Giant Clan young disciples towards Fang Bai quickly.
These Giant Clan young disciples with Gu Bao believed Fang Bai was surely a disciple from so top-notch Sect, possibly using his sect’s influence rather than his own strength, and that the clan’s high ranks treated him politely likely out of fear of the sect behind him.
Fang Bai knew Gu Bao and the others had co with ill intent, so he gave a slight sneer and continued to sit cross-legged, ignoring them.
"Hey, kid, what’s your na?"
Gu Bao and his companions stopped several feet behind Fang Bai. Gu Sheng loudly questioned Fang Bai’s back.
Fang Bai remained motionless and silent.
"Hey, are you deaf? Our brother Gu Sheng is asking you sothing!"
A Giant Clan kid beside Gu Sheng asked angrily.
"Go! Go! Go! Get lost! Don’t disturb my cultivation, or I’ll thrash you!"
Fang Bai finally responded, but his words imdiately enraged Gu Bao, Gu Sheng, and their companions.
"Arrogant!"
"Cocky!"
"Doesn’t know the imnsity of heaven and earth!"
"Who do you think you are?"
"It’s not certain who would thrash whom!"
...
Furious, Gu Bao, Gu Sheng, and the others rushed forward, surrounding Fang Bai while channeling strands of Killing Qi towards him.
This group of Giant Clan young disciples, numbering over a dozen, were all first or second realm Heavenly Tribulation powerhouses. Though not exceptionally strong, being young and passionate, they were impulsive. Fang Bai’s words provoked them into an uncontrollable rage.
