Huang Yaoshi Teaches the Five Greats Divine Technique and Mysterious Gates Eight Trigrams

"Once he grows into a titan of the martial world, Huang Yaoshi's face will shine with glory!"

"Exactly, exactly! Senior Huang has truly taken in a fine disciple. I'm green with envy!"

"With such an excellent disciple, Peach Blossom Island will surely shake the world with its fame one day."

It was not until they had praised Chen Xiaofan for the time it took to drink a cup of tea that everyone finally settled down.

Huang Yaoshi looked at Chen Xiaofan again and said pleasantly, "Disciple, your master also possesses an exceedingly profound ultimate art. Unless I am at death's door, I would never use it. It is a genuine top-tier martial arts technique. Better to seize the day than wait for another—how about I pass it on to you now?"

Chen Xiaofan was slightly stunned.

This Senior Huang really had taken him for his disciple?

He did not hesitate, clasping his fists as he said, "Please bestow the technique upon me, Master!"

In truth, Huang Yaoshi saw that his talent was extraordinarily rare—truly a monstrous genius seen once in a hundred years. Such a promising seedling was not easy to find, so he immediately prepared to pass down his Mysterious Gates Eight Trigrams.

This martial art was Huang Yaoshi's trump card, locked away at the bottom of his chest. Unless his life hung by a thread, he would never use it. That alone showed how formidable it was!

As for Chen Xiaofan not actually being his disciple... that did not matter. With a student like this, who would not scramble to take him in as a disciple?

Anyone would probably wish to pour every ultimate art they possessed into him, just to earn the title of master and disciple, wouldn't they?

Huang Yaoshi stood ready where he was and began demonstrating Mysterious Gates Eight Trigrams.

On Chen Xiaofan's side, comprehension soon came naturally.

You watched Huang Yaoshi demonstrate Mysterious Gates Eight Trigrams, grasped its essence, and through contemplation extracted its core, comprehending Mysterious Gates Five Elements!

You watched Mysterious Gates Eight Trigrams a second time. Combining it with Mysterious Gates Five Elements, you created Five Elements Yin Yang!

You watched Mysterious Gates Eight Trigrams a third time. Combining it with Five Elements Yin Yang, you created Mysterious Gates Escaping Armor!

You watched Mysterious Gates Eight Trigrams a fourth time. Combining it with Mysterious Gates Escaping Armor, you created Mysterious Gates Convergence!

As your comprehension deepened, you discovered that Mysterious Gates Eight Trigrams was bloated and overly complex. You simplified the complex, eliminating everything Mysterious Gates Convergence did not need. Its effect improved!

Huang Yaoshi demonstrated until he was panting for breath, only stopping after ten full repetitions. He asked with concern, "How much did you comprehend?"

"Reporting to Master, this disciple comprehended all of it," Chen Xiaofan said directly, without any false modesty.

"Hisss~~~"

A wave of sharp intakes of breath faintly rose from the crowd.

Everyone was stunned.

His comprehension was heaven-defying—truly heaven-defying!

Such comprehension was simply defiance of the heavens!

Huang Yaoshi smiled in satisfaction, his aged face glowing red with pride. He raised his head high and said, "Demonstrate it once for everyone to see."

It was not that he did not believe Chen Xiaofan. He simply wanted everyone present to see it: Well? The disciple beneath my, Huang Yaoshi's, knee is not bad, is he?

Especially Ye Gucheng.

Chen Xiaofan closed his eyes and savored it for a moment, then began his demonstration.

A short while later, the demonstration ended.

The entire audience was dumbstruck. Every single person stood frozen in place, eyes wide and mouths agape!

Even Huang Yaoshi himself froze where he stood!

The Mysterious Gates Eight Trigrams Chen Xiaofan demonstrated was completely different from Huang Yaoshi's. Its power far surpassed the original; the blue had surpassed the indigo!

Huang Yaoshi's demonstration had been powerful, but only powerful. Chen Xiaofan's, however, completely eclipsed his!

It could be called indigo born from blue yet surpassing blue—unfathomably profound, with its principles elevated by who knew how many times!

"Th-this... is this how I taught him? Was my Mysterious Gates Eight Trigrams really this powerful?" Even Huang Yaoshi himself was confused.

The others still could not react, each standing there blankly.

Only after a long while did Mei Chaofeng, Lu Chengfeng, and the other disciples all let out a strange collective cry of "Wah!" as if they had heard the sound of their own hearts shattering.

With comprehension like his, was there any point in them still learning?

They felt lost and hollow, overwhelmed by a sense of defeat.

"You should all withdraw first." Afraid that their martial hearts would shatter, Huang Yaoshi hurriedly waved them away.

Mei Chaofeng and the others quickly left.

Then Huang Yaoshi looked at Chen Xiaofan with immense satisfaction, utterly unable to suppress the affection in his heart!

He had struck gold!

To receive such a monstrous disciple in this lifetime was truly proof that Heaven had opened its eyes!

"Cough, cough." Ye Gucheng suddenly coughed and said, "Senior Huang, it is not that I mean to pick a fight. I simply have a question in my heart. As far as I know, no one in this world has ever been able to learn something on the spot, much less learn it better than their master. Honestly, it is far too inconceivable. Even True Man Zhang of Wudang was not such a monster."

"What are you trying to say?" Huang Yaoshi sensed the crucial point and asked bluntly.

"It is not that this junior doubts you. It is simply that this junior believes this martial art is profoundly deep. It cannot possibly be learned merely by watching it once. Senior Huang, you must have taught him beforehand, perhaps even for many years," Ye Gucheng stated his view.

Ximen Chuixue had the same question in his heart, but remained silent.

When Huang Yaoshi had demonstrated it just now, the two of them had also tried to learn from the side. Yet they found that this martial art truly was as Huang Yaoshi had said: far too profound. They could not understand it at all.

That was also why Huang Yaoshi was not afraid of the two watching.

He could clearly have taken Chen Xiaofan somewhere deserted to teach him. Was there any need to insist on doing it here?

But ordinary people truly could not learn this martial art just by watching, so there was nothing to fear.

"Oh? Now that you put it that way, I can understand. Yes, you make sense. How about this: do you have an exceedingly profound martial art? Take it out and teach it to him too. If he learns it on the spot, what will you say then?" Huang Yaoshi smiled and looked at Ye Gucheng with interest.

Ye Gucheng pondered for a moment, then took out a Martial Arts Manual.

"This is the Thirteen Sword Strikes Beyond the Heavens that my master, Tie Kaicheng, taught me. I cultivated desperately and comprehended desperately, yet after a full ten years, I only grasped seventy percent of it. My old master said that if sword moves, sword momentum, and sword intent are fused into one, they can form an entirely new Martial Arts Technique. Yet even now, I have been unable to fully comprehend it."

As he spoke, he handed the manual to Chen Xiaofan.

"Little Brother Chen, it is not that I refuse to accept this. If you can learn this martial art on the spot, I will believe you."

Chen Xiaofan said calmly, "Fine. Give me the time it takes to drink a cup of tea."

As he spoke, he opened the manual and began reading page by page.

Ye Gucheng suddenly threw back his head and laughed. "The time it takes to drink a cup of tea is too little. I'll give you a day!"

It had taken him ten years just to learn seventy percent of it, yet this man only needed the time it took to drink a cup of tea. How could that be possible?

Ximen Chuixue furrowed his brows tightly and watched Chen Xiaofan without saying a word.

Huang Yaoshi said, "Disciple, there is no need to rush. Let your master first see what is so extraordinary about this Martial Arts Technique."

He was afraid Chen Xiaofan would fail to learn it.

But at that moment, Chen Xiaofan pressed down on his hand and said, "Master, don't move. I'm almost finished comprehending it already."

You began comprehending Thirteen Sword Strikes of Life Taking, grasped its essence, and then analyzed its core. Thirteen Sword Strikes of Life Taking reached full mastery!

You continued comprehending it and successfully created Soul Burying Thirteen Sword Strikes of Life Taking based on Thirteen Sword Strikes of Life Taking. Its power increased!

You continued comprehending it and successfully created Nine Nether Eighteen Sword Strikes of Life Taking based on Soul Burying Thirteen Sword Strikes of Life Taking. Its power increased!

You continued comprehending it and successfully created Flying Immortal Beyond the Heavens Dragon Slaying Sword based on Nine Nether Eighteen Sword Strikes of Life Taking. Its power increased!

As your comprehension deepened, you successfully found the flaw in Thirteen Sword Strikes of Life Taking. To your surprise, this profound sword art actually possessed a fatal weakness. You eliminated the weakness from Flying Immortal Beyond the Heavens Dragon Slaying Sword. Its power greatly increased, reaching the Land Immortal level!
