At this moment, Electrolux looked at Xu Zhengyang with a gaze that no longer held the contempt he once had, nor did he regard him as a weakling.
Xu Zhengyang may be very weak now, but his extremely rational personality, strategy and planning are exactly like those of a mature and strong person.
Electrolux couldn't help but sigh. In all his life, even with his past glories, he had never seen anyone as rational as Xu Zhengyang, someone so single-mindedly focused on becoming stronger through various schemes.
" Xu Zhengyang, do you want to know about my past, or rather, do you want to know what kind of person I really am?"
Xu Zhengyang's expression changed slightly upon hearing this. "Please enlighten me, senior."
Electrolux's eyes held a complex expression. "I originally came from the Holy Demon Continent, and was the Child of Light during the Holy Demon Continent's most glorious era. I also mastered the purest light magic and was hailed as one of the Empire's Twin Stars."
"But I was betrayed by the Empire and the Church, betrayed by my beloved, accused of treason, and even my family was murdered. Amidst all these changes, I unexpectedly received the legacy of an ancient necromancer, transforming from Child of Light into Holy Necromancer and the Calamity of the Undead."
"This is a struggle between light and darkness. The last glimmer of hope and light in my heart was extinguished. There was no light left in my heart, only endless resentment and hatred. In order to take revenge, I fell into depravity and darkness. Everyone thought I was the most despicable, shameless, and hopeless being. It wasn't until I witnessed the purest love in the world that I began to gradually repent for my mistakes."
"But it's all too late. Even though I've avenged my family and destroyed the empire I once knew, my sins cannot be washed away. So, after my demise, my soul came to the Douluo Continent one last time, and it also entered your mind."
Xu Zhengyang was also shocked to hear this. What Electrolux said was even more than what appeared in the original work. Perhaps it was because he came to the Douluo World in advance and entered the depths of Xu Zhengyang's soul, so his memories would be more complete.
Electrolux sighed. "Looking back, my entire life has been shrouded in hatred. Now it seems like a dream. Perhaps, if I had been as rational as you, as proactive as you, perhaps the tragedy could have been avoided."
Xu Zhengyang bowed slightly. "Senior, thank you for your guidance. Perhaps one day I will also fall into the vortex of power, and become obsessed with power and strength, but I will never fall into the trap of becoming Evil Soul Master, nor will I become an ambitious man like the Crown Prince. My goal has always been the same: to survive and to ensure that my family can live in peace."
Electrolux gave a wry smile, "Yes, your goal is very clear. Although you've made some underhanded moves, you still have a burning heart, and the purest and brightest part of your soul remains."
"However, are you aware of your situation? In the eyes of the Sun Moon Empire Imperial Family and the Holy Spirit Cult, you are merely a pawn that can be discarded at any time. Especially since you are caught between the two and are even plotting against the Shrek Academy, your situation will be even more dangerous."
"If anything goes wrong, if your ambition is discovered by others, all three forces will likely eliminate you without hesitation. They will not allow someone so rational, so talented in cultivation, and so ambitious to exist."
Hearing this, Xu Zhengyang became unusually arrogant. "Senior, the path is one you forge yourself. I've never believed in anything..."
As for fate, I only believe in human will to overcome destiny, and I only believe in the spear in my own hand.
"If Tianzhen reach a dead end, if the whole world becomes our enemy, I will take my parents and leave. We will find a place where no one can find us and lie low until we have enough strength."
Electrolux suddenly laughed, " Xu Zhengyang, would you like to become my apprentice? Would you like to learn Light Magic and Necromancy from me?"
Xu Zhengyang was overjoyed upon hearing this. He had always cultivated and explored on his own, but now he was gradually encountering a bottleneck.
This is why Xu Zhengyang suggested introducing Zhengtian Academy and was determined to obtain Tang Sect techniques; he wanted to use these to find his path for further cultivation.
Even so, Xu Zhengyang still wanted to find a teacher, a guide on his path forward. Unfortunately, so far, Xu Zhengyang has not found a top-tier Soul Master can truly guide his cultivation. Even at the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, although these Titled Douluo are powerful, they are all Soul Engineer, and their knowledge of Soul Master cultivation is somewhat lacking.
Electrolux is an ideal teacher, not only powerful but also incredibly knowledgeable, especially in Necromancy, which could even change the landscape of the Douluo World.
Xu Zhengyang quickly bowed and said, "Disciple Xu Zhengyang greets Master."
Electrolux nodded. "Very good. From today onwards, Xu Zhengyang, you are my only disciple."
Do you know why I was willing to take you as my apprentice?
Electrolux smiled and said, "Becoming stronger is everyone's pursuit. There's never a shortage of diligent people or people determined to become stronger in this world, but they all get lost in the process of becoming stronger, even resorting to unscrupulous means. But you are the most persistent, rational, and strategic person I've ever met. At least you won't be swayed by strength."
"Moreover, your physical condition is very special. You possess an extremely strong and powerful presence within you. Your hidden Second Martial Soul and your Tiger-Head Zhan Gold Spear are the most masculine elements in the world."
"And the curse upon you is the most evil existence in this world, yet with your mind and endurance, you turn towards the light and ignore the threat the curse poses to you. This is the true foundation of becoming a strong person."
This was the first person in all these years to give Xu Zhengyang such an evaluation. At this moment, Xu Zhengyang felt that he had finally received recognition from others, and that all his forbearance and hard work had finally gained another witness.
Xu Zhengyang was very clear that although he worked hard to cultivate and did his best to train the people around him, in their eyes, he was more awe and less understanding. Xu Zhengyang was more like a monster who commanded, seemingly without any emotions.
Thank you for your understanding and support, teacher.
Electrolux nodded. "There are so many mediocre people in the world. They only know how to respect the strong, but they cannot understand the hardships and dangers on the path to becoming strong. They will not understand your perseverance in striving to become stronger time and time again. It is only through countless life-and-death experiences that you have achieved your current strength."
"Starting today, I will first teach you Necromancy. However, since I am only a remnant soul, I cannot communicate with humans for too long, so the specific teaching time cannot be determined."
"However, I've taken a quick look, and your newly acquired Mysterious Heaven Technique and Purple Demon Eye are quite impressive. The Mysterious Heaven Technique is an excellent method for cultivating Soul Power. I can faintly sense a righteous energy and an inexhaustible vitality within it. Although it may be insufficient in the short term, if you can start cultivating it from scratch, it will lay a better foundation for you."
"As for the Purple Demon Eye, it can utilize a wisp of pure purple energy in the world to enhance one's spiritual power, which is also a very good cultivation method. Before I teach you, you should focus on cultivating these two methods. They may be able to improve your own shortcomings and allow you to find a true path for Soul Master cultivation."
After a lecture, Electrolux gradually fell silent, while Xu Zhengyang became extremely agitated.
From this day forward, he was no longer alone; he finally had a teacher to guide him, and Electrolux was, in fact, the most powerful teacher, whose Necromancy could even overturn the existing cultivation system of the Douluo World.
After some thought, Xu Zhengyang opened the Mysterious Heaven Technique without hesitation. The Mysterious Heaven Technique was not very long, and the book was not thick, but every word was precious. It was indeed the highest internal energy cultivation method of the Tang Sect.
The entire Mysterious Heaven Technique has nine levels, each representing a realm. Even after reaching a bottleneck, one can continue to cultivate, but cannot break through to a higher level.
Furthermore, after cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Technique, the Soul Power within the entire body becomes inexhaustible and incomparably powerful, especially its unique Daoist essence.
Theory is like an exploration of the most primitive rules of the entire world.
Logically speaking, to cultivate the Mysterious Heaven Technique, one needs to abandon one's original cultivation level. However, the current version of the Mysterious Heaven Technique does not have this requirement, nor does it pose any harm. It can preserve one's original Soul Power, but one needs to start cultivating from scratch.
Without hesitation, Xu Zhengyang began meditating according to the records in the Mysterious Heaven Technique, and started to operate the Soul Power circulation route in the Mysterious Heaven Technique.
At the beginning, Xu Zhengyang was indeed a bit unfamiliar with the Mysterious Heaven Technique, and even somewhat resistant to his previous cultivation methods.
But when the Mysterious Heaven Technique circulated within his body, he vaguely felt that his previously blocked meridians seemed to be improving, and even some of the raw energy was gradually being transformed by the Mysterious Heaven Technique.
Xu Zhengyang felt he benefited greatly from practicing the Mysterious Heaven Technique for only the first time. He realized that the Mysterious Heaven Technique was indeed profound and extensive, and that as long as he practiced it more, he would definitely be able to surpass his current Soul Power Level.
After practicing the Mysterious Heaven Technique all night, Xu Zhengyang arrived at a high tower in the academy early the next morning. He opened his eyes wide, and even the Devil Tiger's Eye between his brows opened.
There was a special kind of Soul Power circulating around his eyes, as if he were trying to detect some kind of aura.
As the sky gradually brightened, just as the Sun was about to rise, a peculiar purple aura suddenly appeared between heaven and earth, and Xu Zhengyang's three eyes also caught this purple aura at that instant.
The purple aura was extremely faint, even beyond the limits of ordinary people's perception. However, Xu Zhengyang's three eyes were very bright, and his perception ability far exceeded that of ordinary people. It was by taking advantage of this moment that he managed to capture the first wisp of purple aura.
Xu Zhengyang was overjoyed. He knew very well that the purple energy of heaven and earth could enhance his spiritual power, although it was relatively weak at the moment. Once he accumulated enough, not only would his spiritual power increase significantly, but he could even use it to attack enemies.
After returning from the Holy Spirit Cult, Xu Zhengyang's daily cultivation returned to its original routine. However, apart from practicing spear and body exercises, meditation was completely replaced by the cultivation of the Mysterious Heaven Technique, and he also added the cultivation of the Purple Demon Eye every morning.
