Rapid Growth

"So there are such restrictions."

Shen Mu suddenly understood. No wonder he had no impression of the so-called "Fallen God" secret technique. Although Shen Mu was a transmigrator, he couldn't remember some unimportant settings.

Babata put its hands on its hips and said, "Of course, but you don't need to worry. Although the unique secret manuals created by the master cannot be cultivated, other secret manuals are not affected."

Secret techniques like "Sky Shuttle" and "Arc Blade Disc," corresponding to "Sky Escape" and "Arc Blade," etc., could be cultivated even without the unique mental power of the Yunmo Star lineage.

Only secret techniques like "Body Snatch" and "Soul Imprint," created by Huyan Bo, would have such restrictions.

According to Babata, it was enough for Shen Mu to cultivate some basic secret techniques at this stage.

Don't underestimate these basic secret techniques. The fact that they were valued and collected by Yunmo Star meant they weren't common goods in the universe. Only Planet-Level members of immortal forces could access them.

"By the way, Babata, you just said my soul talent is inferior to Luo Feng's, and that he was able to become a disciple because he comprehended a domain. Brother Hong should be able to do that too, right?"

Hearing Shen Mu's words, Luo Feng also nodded. After all, without the Limit Martial Hall's training, Luo Feng might not be where he is today.

"For Hong, it's not impossible, but there are still many problems..."

Even though Babata had followed Huyan Bo to roam the universe for tens of millions of years, it was ultimately just an intelligent life form and didn't truly understand cultivation.

It could guide Shen Mu and Luo Feng for two reasons: firstly, the Yunmo Star lineage had a mature system for cultivating Mentalists, and secondly, Huyan Bo had prepared inheritances for his disciples.

What secret techniques to cultivate at what stage, what are the requirements, what difficulties need attention, etc. Huyan Bo had considered all of these, so Babata was perfectly aware of them.

But if it were to train a martial artist, Babata could at most provide them with secret techniques and some experience from predecessors.

However, if they encountered any doubts or difficulties, unless it happened to be a textbook example, Babata wouldn't know how to teach them.

"Moreover, the resources left by your teacher were meant for cultivating one disciple. Because he was worried about unforeseen accidents, he prepared quite abundant resources, which are barely enough for the two of you to consume."

"If we were to take in Hong, I wouldn't even have enough Mu Ya Crystals for his Planet-Level cultivation. The few spare Mu Ya Crystals I had were all given to Shen Mu in one go, and there aren't even resources to cultivate an extra Mo Yun Vine."

Seeing Babata's difficulty, Shen Mu pondered for a moment.

If possible, it would be best to improve Hong's strength. That way, they would have a better chance of surrounding and killing the Golden Horned Beast.

"How about we give Hong and Thunder God some basic martial artist secret manuals first, similar to the 'Basic 312 Forms' for Controllers? As for other things, we can consider them later when we enter the universe."

Shen Mu looked at Babata and proposed his idea.

"That's no problem. You can be the one to give the items to Hong and the others, Shen Mu, but you need to come up with a good reason. You cannot reveal the existence of Yunmo Star without my consent." Babata thought for a moment and agreed.

A moment later, Shen Mu and Luo Feng got off the King-Class fighter, exchanging a smile without saying much.

For the next few days, Luo Feng and his parents temporarily stayed in Kyoto Base City. Luo Feng's parents also stayed by the side of the elderly Mrs. Tang during this time.

Meanwhile, Shen Mu began his cultivation under Babata's guidance.

In the virtual world, in a beautiful and serene landscape.

"Your comprehension is very high, and you also possess a domain, which is remarkable. However, your basic qualities as a Mentalist are too poor, not even as good as a martial artist."

Hearing Babata's words, Shen Mu couldn't help but nod. He hadn't encountered any high-level Mentalist secret manuals before. The only basic Mentalist foundation he had was the most basic of basics in the universe, something extremely common.

"Firstly, your mental strength is very high, almost at the peak of Planet-Level. Yet your amplitude is only 14, which is simply terrible."

"Furthermore, you haven't even mastered many basic techniques for Controllers, such as the Condensing Glyph."

The so-called Condensing Glyph is the true technique for mental amplitude.

Previously, even though Shen Mu had a mental amplitude of 14 times, allowing him to unleash 14 times the mental power, he could only manifest it by controlling 14 flying knives simultaneously.

However, after learning the Condensing Glyph, he could focus this 14-fold power onto a single flying knife, making him more flexible in combat.

The Condensing Glyph is not difficult. Under Babata's guidance, Shen Mu mastered it in just one day, reaching the same level as Luo Feng.

Besides the Condensing Glyph, there are also the Entangling Glyph, Dividing Glyph, and so on. Mastering these basic techniques would be enough to elevate Shen Mu's combat power by one level.

In the blink of an eye, two weeks passed.

In the virtual space, Shen Mu's figure floated in mid-air, with 14 streams of water light faintly surging around him.

The 14 streams of water light separated and merged, intertwining and changing, simultaneously demonstrating the basic techniques of a Controller.

"Impressive. High comprehension indeed has its benefits. Although your mental power talent is not as good as Luo Feng's, your improvement speed is no slower than his."

Babata was very satisfied with Shen Mu's performance. Mastering the basic techniques of a Controller perfectly in half a month far exceeded Babata's expectations.

Shen Mu smiled slightly, and with a thought, he retracted the flying blades one by one. Then he looked at Babata and said, "I should be able to cultivate the 'Arc Blade' secret technique now, right?"

"Of course. With your mental amplitude, you can fully unleash the first form of the Arc Blade Disc."

The Arc Blade Disc, like the Sky Shuttle, is a third-tier mental power weapon and is divided into three forms.

For a Planet-Level cultivator, mastering the first form perfectly would make it difficult to find an opponent at the Planet-Level.

The first form of the Arc Blade Disc is called 'Circular Cut'. It requires 10 times amplitude to get started, 15 times amplitude for minor success, and 20 times amplitude signifies perfect mastery.

The Circular Cut form can increase the power of Shen Mu's attacks by 3 times.

With Shen Mu's current mental amplitude of 14 times, after executing the Circular Cut, the resulting attack power would actually be comparable to the destructive power generated by a 42-times amplitude.

Clang!

A crisp sound of a blade being unsheathed rang out. The Arc Blade Disc in front of Shen Mu suddenly expanded and then spun rapidly, forming a cutting circle.

"Go!"

Shen Mu waved his right hand, and the Arc Blade Disc shot out fiercely, instantly leveling a nearby mountain peak.

Seeing Shen Mu begin practicing the "Arc Blade" secret technique, Babata nodded in satisfaction.

"Shen Mu, your main tasks from now on are to cultivate the 'Arc Blade' secret technique and the 'Fallen God' secret technique. Convert your mental power completely as soon as possible, and then you can practice the powerful secret methods left by the old master."

"I understand. I will strive to completely convert my mental power within a year."

A perverted smile appeared on Babata's face. "Keep up the good work. I'm going to guide Luo Feng now. Luo Feng is different from you; the more you scold him, the faster he improves."

During this period, Babata had successfully mastered the techniques for guiding Shen Mu and Luo Feng.

Shen Mu was relatively easy to handle. As long as a goal was set, he would cultivate with all his might, and his progress was very considerable.

Luo Feng, on the other hand, was a genius who grew up with pressure-based education. The greater the pressure, the more terrifying his progress.

"By the way, Babata, can I give the martial arts manuals to Brother Hong now? I'll say that my trained beast, the East Sea Azure Dragon, discovered the inheritance in the depths of the sea."

"No problem, as long as you can make a convincing story."

Babata gave Shen Mu an OK gesture, then went offline directly to apply pressure to Luo Feng.
