Tang Yan felt a little embarrassed when he heard his grandfather's voice. "I was so absorbed just now that I forgot you were still here, Grandpa. I understood some of it. I should be able to practice it."
Tang Ling frowned and hastily asked, "Can you tell what tier this cultivation method is?"
Tang Yan kept weighing the power of this palm technique in his mind. Only after a long while did he shake his head. "It's hard to judge. It should be at least Earth Tier."
"Earth Tier!" Old Master Tang jumped in shock. There probably wasn't a single Earth Tier cultivation method in all of Cloud City, yet this jade slip contained such a precious treasure.
"Take it back and practice it diligently. Remember, you must never pass this cultivation method on to outsiders!" Old Master Tang instructed.
"Don't worry, Grandpa."
Hearing his grandson's assurance, Old Master Tang nodded, led Tang Yan out of the secret chamber, and sent him back.
Once he returned to his quarters, Tang Yan eagerly began digesting the contents of the Flame Burst Palm.
His strength was currently only at Yellow Tier Sixth Grade. Recalling the Flame Burst Palm's intricate steps, Tang Yan reckoned he could just barely practice the first move.
Moreover, the moves were extremely complicated. Although he felt he could make out some of their workings, thoroughly understanding them would still take considerable effort.
Tang Yan was in no hurry. He patiently analyzed every step of the first move.
Time ticked away as Tang Yan sat there thinking. To anyone else, however, he was simply sitting there staring into space for hours.
This left Zi Yun and Xiao Cui as baffled as eight-foot-tall monks unable to reach their own heads.
"Xiao Cui, did Liu Zhi beat your young master stupid?"
