Chapter 118 He's a Good Teacher
Ye Tanji instructed Xi'er in practicing the combat skill Sky-Splitting Slash, while Bo Yiyan stayed by her side to supervise.
However, Bo Yiyan soon discovered that this person was indeed very knowledgeable in the path of cultivation, worthy of being the strongest in the Upper Realm of Yunyuan.
With his guidance, Xi'er not only quickly mastered the three forms of the Sky-Splitting Slash, but also comprehended its thirty-six variations.
Xi'er wasn't particularly interested in cultivating combat skills, but after his guidance, she discovered the secrets of it and actually cultivated from sunrise to sunset.
Even Bo Yiyan, an observer, grasped the essence of it.
Having witnessed the entire event, Rising Sun and Dawn couldn't help but marvel. Dawn couldn't help but exclaim in admiration:
"Miss Bai Xi truly lives up to her master's expectations; her comprehension is simply extraordinary."
Back when my brother and I got our hands on the three forms of the Sky-Splitting Slash, it took me a full half month to comprehend even the first form.
We're both clever, and we only managed to grasp two moves. But our master thought we were too stupid and didn't bother to teach us anything.
Unexpectedly, Miss Bai Xi not only mastered three moves in one day, but also learned thirty-six variations.
Sigh! It's true what they say: comparisons are odious, and comparisons are odious!
“Miss Bai Xi’s talent and comprehension are indeed unprecedented. I suspect she is the only genius in the world who can rival Master,” Xun Ri said.
"Then tell me, if Master keeps her by his side, will he eventually find us brothers stupid and kick us out?" Dawn asked worriedly.
"Pah! You blockhead! No matter how smart Miss Bai Xi is, our master would never compare her to us," Xun Ri said.
“Yes, yes, yes, we’ve been by our master’s side for hundreds of years, so our bond is naturally incomparable to that of a newcomer like her,” said Dawn.
"You really are stupid! What I mean is, in the master's mind, she is not like us at all."
"Our master treats her as a companion, while we are merely his trusted subordinates," Xunri said.
Ye Tanji listened to the whispers of his two attendants, but instead of getting angry, he smiled.
It seems that Xunri is quite perceptive; he finally understood his heart, unlike Poxiao, that idiot, who is just stubborn.
These two brothers are really not like twins; they seem to have their minds all in one person.
However, Xi'er's intelligence did not diminish due to reincarnation, which made him feel gratified, yet also somewhat heartbroken.
Actually, he would prefer that Xi'er's reincarnation be a little stupid and a little selfish, so that she wouldn't have to live such a hard life.
But she will be eighteen next year, and perhaps she will awaken her past life memories.
Once she remembered the past, she could no longer simply be a carefree little girl.
Now that he has found her reincarnation in this life, he must help her become strong as soon as possible in order to cope with the coming storms.
For three consecutive days, Ye Tanji came to guide Xi'er in cultivating combat skills.
Seeing that she had mastered the three forms of the Sky-Splitting Slash, he seized the opportunity to ask, "Xi'er, what was the strongest combat technique you had ever practiced? May I see it?"
“Of course!” Xi’er answered readily. Given Ye Tanji’s status and position, it was impossible for him to covet her secret technique.
Before this, the strongest combat spell she had ever learned was the Annihilation of the Heavens.
This spell is a secret technique of the Holy Witch Clan. Without the bloodline of the Holy Witch Clan, one cannot cultivate witch spirit power, and naturally, one cannot cultivate this secret technique of the Holy Witch Clan.
Seeing Xi'er unleash the Annihilation Technique, Ye Tanji couldn't help but feel secretly alarmed.
This spell contains an extremely strong destructive aura. It's just that Xi'er's cultivation level is not high enough. If it were him using it, the entire Yunyuan Upper Realm would probably be shocked and tremble.
The reason why Xi'er cannot unleash its full power is twofold: firstly, because of her low cultivation level, and secondly, because the technique itself has limitations.
"Your Annihilation Technique should originate from the Annihilation Array of the Ancient Holy Witch Clan."
This great formation was powerful enough to destroy the heavens and the earth, so the ancestors of the Holy Witch Clan reduced the formation and created this secret technique.
Because of its immense destructive power, if its full potential were unleashed, it could cause widespread death and destruction, which would be contrary to the natural order.
Therefore, the person who created this secret technique set limitations for it. Anyone who practices this secret technique will be subject to these limitations, preventing it from unleashing its full power.
"If you want to unleash its full potential, you must first unlock this limitation. Now I will tell you how to unlock this limitation..." Ye Tanji told Xi'er about his discovery one by one.
"Palace Master, you are truly amazing! It turns out that once the restrictions on the Annihilation Technique are lifted, its power can increase at least fivefold!"
"If I had been able to unleash its full power back in Shuowang City, I could have easily killed at least one Insect King." Xi'er was overjoyed and showered it with compliments.
From childhood, she was best at pleasing her elders. Although Ye Tanji had romantic feelings for her, because of their large age difference, he subconsciously treated her as a child who had not yet grown up.
Xi'er used the method of pleasing elders to please him, which Ye Tanji accepted very easily.
He was in a good mood and couldn't help but reach out and pat Xi'er's head, smiling as he said, "Don't always think about how to flatter others. You should spend more time on cultivation instead."
"When you break through to the peak of this realm, you won't be helpless when you encounter powerful enemies."
"Yes, you're right. I'll definitely cultivate diligently from now on!" Xi'er readily agreed.
"However, I must remind you. The reason why your Holy Witch Clan's ancestors set up restrictions in this Annihilation Technique was not simply because they were afraid of harming the natural order."
In fact, once this restriction is lifted, using this spell will exhaust all your magical power.
As you know, the worst thing you can do in a fight is to go all out without holding back.
Because this means you will completely lose your fighting ability and be at the mercy of others.
"So unless absolutely necessary, you must not easily break the spell's restriction. Do you understand?" Ye Tanji said to her with a serious expression.
"Yes, I know. I promise I will never use it lightly, unless it's absolutely necessary to save my life." Xi'er nodded seriously.
But she added in her mind: When faced with a life-or-death crisis for relatives and friends, or a city-wide catastrophe like the destruction of Shuowang City, it must be used!
To be fair, Ye Tanji is indeed a good teacher.
Xi'er decided that from now on, if she didn't understand something, she would ask him directly, because he was the best at picking out the key points and explaining things in a simple and easy-to-understand way, so she could understand it right away.
