Breakthrough (2)
"A person who can teach doesn't necessarily know how to cook! I often teach Xiaoyan how to cook, but do I know how to cook myself?" Ye Lang said casually.
Everyone here knows what Ye Lang said. Everyone knows that Ye Lang gave Zhen Xiaoyan a lot of recipes, which can be considered as teaching Zhen Xiaoyan how to cook. But if he were to do these things on his own, he would definitely do a terrible job.
Although Ye Lang's cooking was passable, it was only passable!
The argument is the same: Zhen Xiaoyan has such high skills, so how could Ye Lang, who taught her, be better than her? Obviously, that's impossible.
A person who can teach may not be able to teach themselves, and a person who can teach may not be able to teach. This is a very simple principle. But is Ye Lang really like that?
Perhaps only Ye Lang himself knows the answer to this question.
"Xiao Yan's situation is indeed like that, but these are two separate things. Are you really sure about that?" Ye Zhiqin asked calmly. It was one thing that Ye Lang couldn't cook, but whether he knew martial arts and magic was another matter entirely.
Most people would be confused in this situation and wouldn't ask Ye Lang about his Ye Lang arts and magic skills, thinking that he was just good at teaching and not necessarily better than them. But Ye Zhiqin was a little different; she would get to the point and wouldn't be confused.
"Really! I haven't even reached the Heavenly level yet. Don't forget, I'm a useless piece of trash with Attribute-less," Ye Lang said with a smile.
"..."
The fact that Ye Lang Attribute-less Attribute-less seems to have been forgotten by everyone, because it seems to have no effect on him at all, and his powerful alchemy has also made people forget about this.
A piece of trash? If he is, then there are hardly any people in the world who aren't.
Thinking about this, Ye Zhiqin stopped talking. She also felt that it would be difficult for Ye Lang to break through to the Heavenly level, and Ye Lang himself had said that he had not yet entered the Heavenly level.
She believed that Ye Lang wouldn't lie, at least not in front of Ye Lanyu and the others!
However, she and everyone else overlooked one thing: Ye Lang's failure to reach the Heavenly Rank did not mean that he lacked the strength to contend with those at the Heavenly Rank. This was the biggest difference between him and others, and also his most unknown secret.
His failure to reach the Heavenly Rank is merely by the standards of this continent, and how could he possibly be measured by those standards? It's clearly impossible.
And so, the discussion on this issue ended there. They ate, chatted, and then went back to their rooms to rest.
Time passed again amidst everyone's cultivation and research. In the past few days, Ye Lanyu and the Seventh Princess seemed to be showing signs of a breakthrough. They felt that their moment was coming, the moment of breaking through to the Heavenly level.
As for Ye Zhiqin, it seems she broke through a few days ago. Perhaps that's why they feel they're about to break through as well.
On this day, Ye Lang looked at the ship that was already roughly complete in front of him. He was testing the alchemical tools he had recently made on it, wanting to make the ship even more perfect.
This is a ship that can shake the world and make everyone understand that Ye Lang is a miracle-maker.
Of course, creating miracles takes a lot of time, and Ye Lang is spending that time here now. Seven or eight months have already passed, and this ship is still only a semi-finished product for Ye Lang.
However, for others, this ship may already be the most perfect existence. At least, that's what Zhen Xiaoyan and Little Zero thought before. They already thought the ship was perfect a few months ago.
It was only during these past few months that they realized that what they considered perfect was not perfect enough. Ye Lang had repeatedly pushed this perfection to new heights, and these heights were not yet reached; they would continue to exist.
What kind of ship is this? What can it do?
Ye Lang didn't address this question, only saying that he would let the facts speak for themselves and that they would definitely surprise them!
Of course, these questions belong to Ye Lanyu and the others, not Zhen Xiaoyan and Little Zero. They participated in Ye Lang's big project and knew more or less about the ship's function, but they were still a little confused about some of the details.
For example, at this time, some of the equipment that Ye Lang installed on the hull was something they didn't understand, and they didn't know exactly what it was for.
But just as Ye Lang was installing it, he stopped...
"What's wrong, teacher? Is there something wrong with what I made?" Little Zero asked immediately. Ye Lang would sometimes stop suddenly, mostly because the things he made were wrong, and partly because he had a new idea.
"Nothing is wrong, you did very well." Ye Lang smiled and replied.
"Then have you thought of something new? This thing is no longer suitable?" Little Zero asked in a very indifferent tone. It seemed to her that the things she had worked so hard to make were abandoned by Ye Lang, which was a very normal thing.
It's quite normal, because Ye Lang has used it more than once. However, Little Zero isn't doing it out of habit; she doesn't care. She has learned a lot while making it, and as an alchemist, she naturally knows that alchemy isn't always successful.
The things that alchemists research may not necessarily come in handy in the end; often, they are useless!
However, as mentioned above, they gained a lot during the research process, and the process was far more important than the result!
Ye Lang shook his head and said with a smile, "No, not really! Your stuff is perfect!"
As he spoke, Ye Lang installed the device onto the hull. A flash of alchemical light appeared, and the device seemed to blend into the hull, making it impossible to tell that it had been installed later.
At this moment, Little Zero was a little confused. She didn't think that Ye Lang had suddenly spaced out. Although Ye Lang was a person who often spaced out, he never spaced out or got distracted when doing this. He was always giving his all.
So something must have happened just now.
"What happened?" Little Zero asked directly.
"I can feel the fire and water elements in the air are very restless!" Ye Lang said with a smile as he continued doing his work, his smile seemingly filled with joy.
"Fire element, water element?" Little Zero was a little confused, and then prepared to test it, thinking there was something wrong with her equipment.
"The problem isn't here, it's on the other side. They must have broken through." Ye Lang stopped Little Zero's search and explained why he had been lost in thought.
"Breakthrough? You mean, Miss Lan Yu and Seventh Princess?" Little Zero was stunned for a moment, then immediately remembered that Ye Zhiqin had already broken through, so the remaining ones were naturally Ye Lanyu and the other two.
The two of them are of the ice and fire attributes, and the changes they caused are the fire and water elements!
