Passing on the Arts
Upon seeing the figure appear in the stone tablet, Arcueid and Manaka both frowned. Arcueid recalled for a moment, then pointed directly at the figure and asked:
"I remember now, you are... that thing from the Sea of Imaginary Numbers..."
Arcueid wanted to say that it was the stone tablet about Dark Leiao that Bai Mo had told her about, but when she thought that Bai Mo and he were likely enemies, she quickly changed her mind.
Hearing Arcueid's words, Dark Leiao wasn't annoyed, and instead gave Arcueid a smile:
"Little girl, you're so rude. But I didn't expect your observation skills to be so sharp; you were able to sense my gaze even in the Sea of Imaginary Numbers."
Arcueid and Manaka had previously engaged in a battle in the Sea of Imaginary Numbers to avoid interfering with Uruk. However, Arcueid did not sense any so-called "gaze" throughout the entire battle.
She recognized the stone tablet; Bai Mo had told her about the Sea of Imaginary Numbers, so she recognized it.
Hearing this, Arcueid froze, then stamped her foot and angrily said:
"Hey! You old man, you're a pervert! Dressed like that, you're still peeping!"
Upon hearing this, Dark Leiao raised an eyebrow, then chuckled twice, whether to hide his amusement or to assess whether his appearance was truly somewhat strange.
"What a clever and quick-witted little girl! I, Dark Leiao, actually managed to get some information out of you."
Clever and quick-witted? Who are you talking about? Manaka and Crimson Moon thought to themselves in unison.
Seeing that Dark Leiao seemed to have no intention of attacking, both sides slowly sheathed their weapons. Arcueid was the first to ask:
"So, what brings you here? I thought you only intended to use this for trading martial arts techniques."
This stone tablet is different from the stone given by the Tezcatlipoca. The latter records some martial arts techniques, while the former can actually be traded with Dark Leiao, but the premise is that you can really offer something that catches his eye.
"They're used for trading. These stone tablets of mine usually wander around. When they sense the Magnetic Field Power, they will actively approach and absorb the dissipated power to synchronize the images. After all, this is more efficient."
The Magecraft of this world is truly fascinating. If you two have anyone to blame, it's your own lack of skill; you let too much power escape your grasp during the battle."
Dark Leiao spoke eloquently, and upon hearing this, both of them felt a headache coming on. Their luck was just too bad; even after running to the Sea of Imaginary Numbers, they still managed to be targeted by this thing.
"So, what's your purpose?" Arcueid asked Dark Leiao, arms crossed.
"Heh, little girl, didn't I just say? I came here only to find some martial arts techniques that interest me. Although this is just a small trinket, I can still sense the strange vortex of energy within your body during your previous battle."
Upon hearing this, Arcueid felt a chill run down his spine. During the free time Bai Mo had been in after returning from the Sea of Imaginary Numbers, he had personally taught Arcueid how to activate the Ryougi Lataib.
Guided by Bai Mo, she was finally able to briefly gather energy vortexes during her battle with Manaka, thus reaching the entry-level stage and absorbing external power for her own use.
It must be said that to quickly master these martial arts, one must engage in combat. The battle with Manaka greatly enhanced Arcueid's understanding of the Ryougi Lataib and the Hell God of War.
She understood somewhat why Bai Mo and the Giant Shark fought so freely; it was indeed exhilarating.
It was precisely because of this enhancement that she could maintain her full power for a long time while remaining the Hell God of War, eventually exhausting the life force of the Heaven and Earth Demon God.
Arcueid gripped the Real of the World in her hand, watching Dark Leiao warily. Seeing this, Leiao chuckled:
"Don't worry, little girl, I haven't fought in a long time. You're not worth me breaking my routine for. Besides, as I said, this is a deal, and a fair deal like this will definitely not be a bad thing for you."
To be honest, she really wanted to turn around and leave. In every sense of the word, she didn't want to trade away the Ryougi Lataib she possessed. Although this guy in front of her was powerful, his only possession was a stone tablet. How much power could that thing store?
"Forget it, being targeted by this kind of guy is just bad luck. Only a fool would believe in fair trade. These humans are disgusting; they can just rob you and then pretend to be all virtuous."
Although he might be limited by the stone tablet and unable to sense me, it's best not to get involved with someone capable of creating such a thing. If I refuse, he'll most likely just come and kill me.
"In that case, it won't just be you and me who suffer. Let's explain the situation and apologize to Bai Mo properly later."
Hearing Crimson Moon's words, Arcueid could only reluctantly hand over Bai Mo's Ryougi Lataib.
"Give it back to me after you've looked at it. This is very important to me!"
If Dark Leiao had known Arcueid's words at this moment, he would most likely have turned and left. Arcueid's Ryougi Lataib only showed the absorption of power, and was not worth even a second glance.
But for some reason, he had a feeling, a strange feeling of being a martial arts master. This thing might not be so simple.
"Hey, could it be a love token from your sweetheart that you're so concerned about? Don't worry, he'll definitely be happy for you afterwards."
Dark Leiao revealed a mocking smile as the book recording the Ryougi Lataib Solution floated in front of him and silently turned its pages.
The more he turned the pages, the more Dark Leiao expression changed, from surprise to contemplation, sometimes as if a flash of inspiration struck, and sometimes as silent as an old man studying scriptures.
After a long while, Dark Leiao frowned and asked Arcueid:
"Are you sure this technique can be mastered? Has any powerful practitioner successfully cultivated it?"
"Of course! If you're not satisfied, give it back right now, and then we'll never see each other again!"
Arcueid just wanted to get rid of this guy as soon as possible. As for the deal, Crimson Moon had already reminded her not to dream about it; it was good enough that he could leave.
Looking at Arcueid's appearance, Dark Leiao frowned, thinking to himself: This woman doesn't seem to be lying, which means she really trained like this.
Well, after all, it's a divine skill that rivals or may even surpass the Ultimate Boundlessness, so it's understandable that it's a bit strange.
Interesting. After being in this world for so long, finally there's something interesting here.
Dark Leiao meticulously copied down Arcueid's entire Ryougi Lataib, then revealed a smile, though to Arcueid, that smile only sent a chill down her spine.
"Very good, my intuition was right after all. Little girl, I, Dark Leiao, will not take advantage of your weak strength. Seeing that you only have nine hundred thousand horses, here's what I'll do: pour your power into the stone tablet and come to see me, and I will take you as my disciple and teach you my techniques..."
Before she could finish speaking, Arcueid shook her head vigorously, her face full of indignation:
"No way! Uncle, you're such a pervert! How can you say something like that to a girl right off the bat? It's disgusting! At least put on some clothes and shoes!"
Hearing this, Dark Leiao was not angry; he chuckled and said:
"Really? I think you don't want to leave your sweetheart. Well then, for the sake of this thing, you can take it with you..."
Don't even think about it!
Arcueid reacted like a cat with its fur standing on end. What a joke! Bai Mo was clearly hostile to these magnetic field experts, and she would never allow Bai Mo to face such a terrifying enemy in his current state.
If necessary, then commit suicide.
Arcueid thought to herself that she absolutely must not let the Dark Leiao in front of her know about Bai Mo's situation.
Seeing this, Dark Leiao narrowed his eyes and said:
"Alright, following your heart is the right path. Since that's the case, I won't force you, but I certainly won't be stingy with your method."
Upon hearing this, Dark Leiao pointed his hand, and a beam of light instantly flooded into her brain. Countless insights and knowledge surged in like a tidal wave, causing her to feel a splitting headache.
"These are my cultivation insights and understandings from the War God of a Thousand Armies. You only need time to understand them. With the wonder of the Ryougi Lataib and the purity of your heart, reaching the 990,000 horsepower of the Magnetic Field Rotation and the Complete Realm is only a matter of time."
As for the Final Realm and higher power, that depends on yourself.
I also share my understanding of the Bodhidharma Sutra, the Asura Way, and Avici Uninterrupted with you. Savor the profound mysteries within. Be grateful to the person who gave you this teaching; it is an opportunity they have bestowed upon you.
Lucky little girl.
If Altrouge Brunestud or Roa were to witness this scene, they would most likely be seething with hatred.
Dark Leiao was right; her luck was just too good.
