The Shocked Teacher

But Feng Hui still felt it was a shame.

With his comprehension of the Time Law added in, he thought his Law Comprehension should now meet the standard for passing the first level of the Heavenly Bridge.

But all the secret techniques he had practiced before were related to the Law of Wood and the Law of Space, and his entire combat system had been built around those two laws.

Now, his comprehension of the Time Law had surpassed his comprehension of the Law of Space, yet he had never practiced a single secret technique related to the Time Law.

He was completely the sort of person who had a high level of comprehension of the Time Law but didn't know how to put it to use.

It was like those young martial arts heroes in the wuxia novels Feng Hui had read on Blue Star: they had eaten rare treasures and miraculous pills, giving them incredibly deep internal energy, but they didn't know a single move or martial art.

It was hardly surprising when inexperienced youngsters like that lost to seasoned veterans whose internal energy was far weaker but whose martial arts were far more polished.

So even though Feng Hui's Law Comprehension was sufficient, he still hadn't passed the first level.

After all, having sufficient Law Comprehension didn't guarantee that one could pass the Heavenly Bridge.

Strength wasn't just a matter of Law Comprehension.

It also depended on the secret techniques one had cultivated, one's combat awareness, how well one could bring those techniques to bear, one's mindset, and more.

All of these things together ultimately determined victory or defeat.

Feng Hui was lacking in Time Law secret techniques and the ability to put them to use.

Looks like I'll have to find a strong expert to give me some pointers, he thought.

Don't forget, he was still a student at a "kindergarten academy."

What should you do if you get beaten up?

Go find a teacher!

Eastern Emperor Holy Land Universe.

Jia 312 Academy.

"What? You've comprehended the Time Law too?"

Teacher Wala stared at Feng Hui in disbelief.

For the past three years, Feng Hui had only ever shown comprehension of the Law of Wood and the Law of Space. Even when he asked for advice, his questions had always been about those two laws.

He had never shown the slightest sign of comprehending the Time Law.

But now, Feng Hui was actually telling him that he had comprehended the Time Law too.

No wonder Teacher Wala looked so incredulous.

Feng Hui was helpless too.

He really had only comprehended the Law of Wood and the Law of Space before, but he hadn't expected the great opportunity the Jade Pendant had given him to bring him to sudden enlightenment and allow his comprehension of the Time Law to catch up and then surpass the others.

And after studying the Cosmic Chaos Stele, his comprehension of both the Law of Space and the Time Law had improved tremendously.

The problem was that he had comprehension of the Time Law but hadn't practiced any secret techniques related to it, so he didn't know how to put it to use.

In the Prime Universe, Feng Hui was, on the surface, only a low-ranking Doomsday Secret Realm Member. He had no background and no powerful experts to guide him.

So he had no choice but to ask Teacher Wala for help in the Eastern Emperor Holy Land Universe.

"Feng Hui, when did you comprehend the Time Law?"

"I worked on it casually in my spare time while cultivating. Then I realized that the Time Law was surprisingly simple, and before I knew it, I'd crossed the threshold of the law."

Feng Hui told a small lie.

He couldn't exactly tell his teacher that he had a Clone outside the Holy Land Universe, and that the Clone had gained sudden enlightenment in the Time Law after a great opportunity.

Teacher Wala furrowed his brows slightly.

"Feng Hui, the first thing I need to tell you is that a person's energy is limited. Comprehending more laws isn't always better."

"Better to master one than dabble in many. You'd be better off focusing on the Law of Space."

"You have an excellent talent for the Law of Space. Don't let other pursuits distract you and hold back your cultivation."

Seeing Feng Hui nod, Teacher Wala sighed.

"Plenty of young people are full of ambition and want to cultivate both time and space, but many of them end up wasting their time and letting the years slip by."

"I specialize in the Law of Space and don't know much about the Time Law."

"How about this? Teacher Thunder Eye at the academy specializes in the Time Law. I'll ask him to come over and test you, then give you some pointers."

"If Teacher Thunder Eye also clearly tells you that you're not suited to studying the Time Law, then stop wasting your time and get back on the right path with the Law of Space!"

"Yes, teacher."

Feng Hui nodded quickly.

"What? You're saying this kid's been splitting his attention to comprehend the Time Law too? What a farce!"

The stern, middle-aged man whose eyes were made entirely of lightning said, exasperated.

"I can understand a kid like him being overambitious and not seeing things clearly, but how could you let him carry on like this?"

"Better to guide him than try to stop him. You're better at the Time Law, so go test him and help him understand that he isn't suited to dividing his attention with the Time Law."

Teacher Wala explained.

"That'll work better than having a teacher like me, who doesn't understand the Time Law, tell him so."

On the training ground, Feng Hui stood in the middle of the field, with Teacher Wala and Teacher Thunder Eye beside him.

"Show me your comprehension of the Time Law."

"Let's see just how much you've comprehended. How dare you try to cultivate both time and space!"

Teacher Thunder Eye said coldly.

Feng Hui took out his War Blade and began demonstrating his comprehension of the Time Law through his swordplay.

It was disjointed and lacked any coherent system, but every slash clearly contained some of the Time Law's profundity and faintly resonated with the fluctuations of time.

At first, the stern Teacher Thunder Eye watched casually, but as he continued watching, his expression began to change.

When the blade light Feng Hui unleashed caused the flow of time to become slightly distorted—

"Crackle!"

The lightning in Teacher Thunder Eye's eyes flared violently!

Bolts of lightning flashed straight out of his eye sockets, accompanied by terrifying thunderclaps.

A real eye-opener!

"How is this possible?"

Teacher Thunder Eye could no longer maintain his eternally stern expression. He was utterly astonished.

Teacher Wala beside him was also dumbfounded.

Feng Hui had only been alive for three years!

And yet he already possessed such profound comprehension of the Time Law.

This wasn't just a beginner's grasp of the Time Law. He had already made considerable progress.

That alone was enough to satisfy and astonish the teachers.

But the problem was, they hadn't forgotten that Feng Hui had previously focused on comprehending the Law of Wood and the Law of Space!

In other words, while comprehending the Law of Space, he had found time to study the Time Law—and gained such profound comprehension of it.

This was... simply absurd!

Utterly monstrous!

Soon, Feng Hui finished his demonstration.

He went over to the two teachers and bowed slightly.

"Teachers, please give me some pointers," Feng Hui said respectfully.

For a moment, both Teacher Thunder Eye and Teacher Wala fell silent.

They weren't quite sure what to say.

Teacher Wala had originally wanted Teacher Thunder Eye, who specialized in the Time Law, to teach Feng Hui a lesson and help him understand that cultivation wasn't about reaching too far beyond his grasp, and that he shouldn't try to cultivate both time and space at once.

Teacher Thunder Eye had also planned to show Feng Hui that comprehending an upper law wasn't easy, and that trying to study the Time Law while comprehending the Law of Space was a mistake.

If Feng Hui's demonstration of the Time Law had been poor, he would have been ready to give him a harsh scolding and tell him to focus on the Law of Space.

But—

Feng Hui's comprehension of the Time Law was actually that exceptional. It had even surpassed his comprehension of the Law of Space!

He was only three years old, yet he was cultivating both time and space, and had excelled in both.

What could the two teachers say to him? What was there to say?

They had truly been caught completely off guard, left speechless.
