Chapter 550

"Young people need to be proud and ambitious for their progress to be significant."

"If those geniuses were told that the weapon skills they are so proud of are at the same progress level as Li Yao's summoned beasts,"

"it wouldn't be conducive to their development."

Xue Jiulan nodded solemnly.

"That is only right!"

"Based on my understanding of him, he shouldn't take the initiative to tell others."

"But I will still give him a warning!"

Xue Jiulan suddenly thought of someone,

and couldn't help but feel a bit of sympathy.

That girl already had a very high spirit.

If she were to learn this fact after being struck by Li Yao at the opening ceremony,

"Achoo!"

"What, are you not adapting to this place?"

In an independent secret realm,

Cang Wuqi was stern-faced, teaching Hong Ling blade techniques.

"No, I'm not," Hong Ling said, holding a long blade, swinging it with all her might, strike after strike, against a piece of refined iron.

Sweat blurred her eyes, and every swing brought out a large amount of sweat.

"Teacher, at my current progress, how much longer until I reach the fourth stage of advanced?"

"What?" Cang Wuqi said coldly, "Are you in a hurry?"

Hong Ling looked flustered and quickly said, "No!"

Cang Wuqi looked serious: "Your progress speed is very good, you could say you are the person with the highest talent for blade techniques I have ever seen."

"I know what you are thinking."

"I'm not afraid to tell you that Li Yao's sword technique has already reached the master level."

"Master level? How is that possible?"

"Hmph!" Cang Wuqi raised an eyebrow, "Didn't you say you weren't in a hurry?"

Although Cang Wuqi was serious on the surface, he was actually extremely satisfied with this girl Hong Ling in his heart.

He also knew how to teach such a student with high pride.

"It's not me," Hong Ling said, feeling a bit anxious, worried that her performance would disappoint her teacher.

"I know you are unconvinced in your heart."

"You think Li Yao's strength is powerful only because he relies on his class advantages and skill advantages."

"You want to challenge Li Yao again after honing your weapon skills, right?"

"I..."

Hong Ling was speechless because that was indeed what she was thinking.

That was why she had almost no rest these days;

apart from grinding dungeons, she was here honing her blade techniques.

"Then let me tell you now, even your current SS-tier class was given to you by Li Yao?"

"What?!"

Hong Ling's eyes widened, and she didn't even hold her long blade steady, letting it fall to the ground.

"The Hunter class wasn't given to me by my father?"

"Where would your father get it?"

Hong Ling: "..."

Cang Wuqi walked up, picked up the long blade, and handed it to Hong Ling.

Hong Ling looked at the blade in her hand,

unable to help but feel a bit dazed.

"I wouldn't lie to you about this kind of thing," Cang Wuqi said calmly, "That Hunter manual was traded to your father through my hands."

"I..."

Hong Ling only felt ashamed.

Using a class given by someone else to challenge that same person?

Is this something a human would do?

Does Li Yao know?

What does he think?

Will he think I'm ungrateful?

Cang Wuqi looked at Hong Ling's appearance and nodded secretly.

The pressure was enough; it was time for encouragement.

Jingyu instructors really knew how to teach students!

Cang Wuqi smiled: "Alright, I'm not telling you this to discourage you."

"I just want you to be clear that you don't actually need to compete with Li Yao."

"That SS-tier class was a transaction between your father and Li Yao; you don't owe him."

"His master-level skills also came from the Tower of Masters."

"You just need to take it step by step, and after you reach level 30, I will send you to the Tower of Masters."

"I believe that in terms of skills alone, you won't be weaker than Li Yao."

"Really?"

"Would it benefit me to lie to you?" Cang Wuqi said with feigned anger.

"No."

Hong Ling said solemnly:

"I mean..."

"An SS-tier class advancement book is a priceless treasure. Regardless of whether it was a transaction, Li Yao being willing to take it out is a favor of rebirth to me!"

"My previous actions were very wrong!"

"I caused him trouble."

"So I want to repay him!"

Part of it was also to make up for offending Li Yao before,

Hong Ling thought to herself.

"Repay him?"

"What can you help him with at your current strength?"

"So I will practice hard!"

"Not competing with him anymore?"

"No!"

"That's more like it!"

Cang Wuqi smiled,

feeling more and more satisfied with this student.

Her talent might not be as good as Li Yao's,

but her character and nature were extremely to his liking!

However,

Hong Ling was probably still far from being able to repay Li Yao.

Truly top-tier practitioners standing at the peak

need three foundations: level, skills, and equipment.

None can be missing!

And to unleash the true power of these three points, one needs:

Weapon skills, momentum application, and domain derivation. ===== CHAPTER 552 =====
