Aoxue's Shock: I Am Not Your Equal!

In an instant, a flood of comprehension far surpassing that of the Extreme Shadow Swordplay abruptly surfaced, and Su Ye rapidly absorbed it!

"This feeling?!!"

Su Ye seemed to behold the Vast Sea, where a giant whale churned the waters, its rising momentum layering the sea until it finally blanketed the heavens!

The immense artistic conception made Su Ye lose focus for an instant!

His head even began to throb faintly!

"This is because the Vast Sea Swordplay is broad and profound, containing countless variations. Even among Third-Rank Martial Skills, it is exceptionally remarkable and immensely complex."

"So I still need to digest it!"

Su Ye immediately understood.

The Manifestation Talisman indeed gave him the ability to achieve Instant Mastery of all the Myriad Laws under heaven.

But whether he, the Dao Talisman Master, possessed enough Spiritual Power to bear it all at once was another matter entirely!

"Breathing techniques and Spiritual Power are very important!"

This thought flashed through Su Ye's mind. Then, casting aside all distractions, he quickly began digesting his understanding of the Vast Sea Swordplay.

In the training ground, Li Aoxue wore a serious expression as she paced back and forth, explaining her understanding to Su Ye.

"The four sword strikes I demonstrated just now are four moves, and also four realms."

"Do not underestimate these four sword strikes. There are no few variations within them."

"Take the Rising Momentum of the first sword, for instance—it contains thirty-six variations!"

"Built upon four sword-nurturing forms—draw, flip, turn, and fix—they coordinate with one another, along with..."

Li Aoxue abruptly stopped speaking. Her delicate brows furrowed as she looked at Su Ye with some displeasure.

Because Su Ye had actually spaced out during this one-on-one private lesson!

His gaze drifted, clearly thinking about something else and paying no attention at all!

She was teaching him right now!

Did he know how many people outside were willing to spend a fortune just to attend one private lesson with her?

"His talent and comprehension are decent, but his character leaves something to be desired."

Li Aoxue silently thought to herself, shaking her head slightly. She did not think highly of Su Ye's future.

She had seen far too many Heavenly Chosen whose excessive pride had blocked their Martial Path.

Even with some talent, they could never climb to the peak of the Martial Path!

Seeing that Su Ye still had not snapped out of it, Li Aoxue grew even more dissatisfied and coldly called, "Su Ye!"

Su Ye still did not come to his senses, stirring a trace of anger within her. Her Red Lips parted as she was about to reprimand him harshly.

But the next moment—

Su Ye let out a long breath!

Then he suddenly looked toward the weapon rack at the side, strode over, and took down a wooden sword!

Li Aoxue was speechless at the sight.

At that moment, Su Ye looked like a child who had just gotten his hands on a new toy.

"You only watched me demonstrate it once, and you already want to try it yourself? How could that possibly work?"

But in the next instant, her eyes changed abruptly!

"This is?!"

Su Ye took a deep breath, then let out a low shout as his Martial Bone rang out!

"Six Martial Bones?"

"Two days ago, he only had four Martial Bones!!"

"Yesterday, he broke through to the fifth Martial Bone, and today he has already tempered his sixth?"

Li Aoxue was shaken. The way she looked at Su Ye changed, and her Beautiful Eyes gleamed with a strange light.

When Su Ye had entered earlier, she had not carefully examined his cultivation at all.

Yet he had actually tempered his sixth Martial Bone!

Su Ye had cultivated Extreme Shadow Sword Intent within a few days. Even in her eyes, that was quite extraordinary, so she had looked into him a little over the past two days.

She had learned that Su Ye came from an ordinary family, not one of those great clans with vast resources.

The children of those great clans could temper one Martial Bone a day in the early stages. She had even seen Prodigies more monstrous than that.

But they ate all kinds of pills like meals, and had powerful elders constantly instructing them at their ears. Their comprehension came early, which was why they could achieve such results.

But Su Ye had reached this level by relying on himself?

Such talent??

At first, she had thought Su Ye possessed good comprehension for the Martial Path, but his martial aptitude was merely average and his physique ordinary.

After all, at this time, high school seniors across the nation had practiced the Azure Cloud Breathing Technique and Tiger Form Bone Forging Method for three weeks.

Tempering only three or four Martial Bones meant he had a bit of aptitude compared with ordinary people.

But in the eyes of a Heavenly Favored Child like Li Aoxue, who had seen all kinds of monstrous Prodigies, it amounted to nothing.

Yet over the past two days, Su Ye had formed one Martial Bone per day. Though it was only the initial stage, it was enough to astonish her!

"Su Ye, when did you temper your sixth—"

Before she could finish, her Red Lips parted slightly. Her eyes widened as she watched Su Ye press down lightly with his wooden sword.

"This is... the opening Momentum Accumulation?! The Vast Sea Swordplay?!"

Su Ye took a deep breath, then slightly rotated his wrist.

The downward press transformed into a turn. The Martial Bones within his body harmonized with his breathing technique, and an endless stream of power erupted in a specific sequence.

Nurturing the sword's Rising Momentum, then suddenly drawing it upward!

With one sweeping strike, the air itself rang with the sound of something tearing through it. Li Aoxue felt an overwhelming artistic conception abruptly surge forth!

It was as though Mount Tai had crashed down, as though... the Vast Sea were rushing straight at her!

Vast Sea Swordplay, first form: Rising Momentum!

"So this is the Vast Sea Swordplay!"

"The first sword is called Rising Momentum, and it uses momentum to crush the opponent."

"It appears to be one sword strike, but depending on the opponent's circumstances, it can produce thirty-six variations. Every sword strike carries momentum, leaving one breathless."

"If one can comprehend these thirty-six sword momentums, one can raise Layered Waves and reach the second realm!"

Su Ye's eyes grew brighter and brighter, and an incomparably exhilarating feeling rose within him.

It was like the joy from his previous life when, during the College Entrance Examination, he suddenly found the solution to a difficult mathematics problem!

He abruptly came back to himself, hurriedly sheathed his sword, and apologized to Li Aoxue.

"Sorry, Coach Li. I suddenly gained some insight, so I acted a little presumptuously."

Li Aoxue fell silent, barely suppressing the shock in her heart. Her gaze at Su Ye was extraordinarily complicated.

It had taken her more than five full days just to achieve Instant Mastery of this swordplay!

Yet Su Ye had merely watched her demonstrate it once!

And he had actually learned it?!

What kind of monstrous Prodigy was this...?

"You must have entered a state of enlightenment just now." Still, she was a teacher after all. Li Aoxue quickly suppressed her shock and slowly explained.

"A state of enlightenment?" Su Ye was slightly stunned as he looked at Li Aoxue's complicated, beautiful face.

"That is an opportunity an ordinary Martial Artist may encounter only a few times in their lifetime," Li Aoxue explained softly.

"During that brief period, a Martial Artist becomes incomparably focused. Their Comprehension and spiritual insight reach their peak, and they advance by leaps and bounds in learning anything."

That was the only explanation she could think of.

But even in a state of enlightenment, Su Ye had only listened to her rough explanation before learning it merely by seeing it... His monstrous comprehension still shocked her!

Su Ye did not explain. Naturally, he knew this was the Manifestation Talisman's ability.

"Your comprehension has already surpassed mine! I am not your equal."

For a moment, the atmosphere was awkward. Li Aoxue let out another sigh.

"Without Coach Li's guidance, I would not have been able to comprehend it either," Su Ye said earnestly.

Li Aoxue looked at Su Ye and said,

"All right, there is no need to be polite with me."

"I now somewhat understand why you did not listen while I was teaching. You truly have the talent and qualifications for it."

"Next, I will spar with you while explaining the Vast Sea Swordplay."

After Su Ye left, Li Hai found Li Aoxue and said with a smile, "Aoxue, I have something to tell you."

Li Aoxue's expression was complicated. Although Su Ye had been gone for a while, she still had not fully recovered from the shock.

"Dad, I have something to tell you too."

"Oh? You go first." Li Hai was taken aback, then nodded.
