They all became female demons after being reborn.

Chapter 30 I want them all!

Upon hearing Gong Yuqing's words, Wu Cheng was overjoyed. "So I was right after all? Diligence really can make up for lack of talent."

The twelve years of exam-oriented education were not wasted. Regardless of what knowledge was learned, at least logical thinking skills were developed.

Gong Yuqing remained silent for a while. Her gaze shifted from the circle of unrecognizable bluestone slabs on the ground to Wu Cheng's face. Then, she mentally reviewed the entire process of Bai Suying learning the "Ethereal Sword Technique" from beginning to end.

It took Xiaobai two whole years to reach the threshold of "Sword Intent Without Form". The Sword Pavilion Master Dugu Moli praised her as a sword dao talent that was rare in a hundred years. Then one day, Xiaobai suddenly had an epiphany and her understanding of sword dao was even slightly no less than that of Dugu Moli.

It was only then that Dugu Moli realized that she was a true peerless sword genius, comparable to the first leader of the Sword Pavilion.

But it's only comparable.

This cheap disciple, who had spent the entire night poking at the ground with a broken twig and figuring things out on his own, actually managed to completely deduce the core of the "Ethereal Formless Sword Technique," a swordplay created by the brilliant patriarch who had devoted his entire life to it...

Gong Yuqing stared at Wu Cheng with her beautiful eyes, saying nothing.

Wu Cheng didn't pay much attention to her gaze; he was already planning what to learn next.

All I can say is that being able to directly feel one's own improvement is really addictive. If he could have directly felt his academic ability improve when he was in school in his previous life, he would probably be on par with Einstein!

Shoulder to shoulder?

Ha, they've probably already surpassed it!

Now that the previous step has been completed, it's dawn and there's no need to sleep. Besides, my cheap master is here too, so why not strike while the iron is hot?

"Master, what do you think I should learn next?"

Gong Yuqing glanced down at the tattered bluestone slabs, then looked up at Wu Cheng's energetic face, and asked calmly, "So, what do you want to learn?"

If he wants to learn palm techniques, she can teach him; if he wants to learn sword techniques, she'll send him to the Sword Pavilion to give Dugu Moli a headache. But that guy is a slow-witted block of ice; it depends on whether this kid can be warmed up.

But Wu Cheng was a bit unexpected.

"Master, I want to learn lightness skill first."

"Lightness skill?" Gong Yuqing was taken aback. "Why do you want to learn that first?"

Wu Cheng explained with a smile, "I feel that the Tai Xu Gui Yuan Jue is very complete, but this technique seems to be prepared for the innate stage. Although I don't know why, I have a feeling that now is not the time to take it a step further."

Gong Yuqing looked at him silently for a long time before sighing, "Have you not encountered a bottleneck yet?"

"Yes, I feel my true energy is still increasing and its quality is continuing to solidify, but it seems there's nothing more to learn." Wu Cheng nodded.

"Because you haven't encountered the insurmountable barrier between the acquired and the innate, now is the time to solidify your foundation. The Tai Xu Gui Yuan Jue is divided into three levels. The second level onwards is the cultivation method after the innate level, while the first level is to lay the foundation for breaking through to the innate level. So now is indeed not the time. I didn't expect you to be able to comprehend this on your own."

Gong Yuqing was already feeling a bit numb.

Her master once said she was a genius, but after taking Bai Suyi as her disciple, she realized that Bai Suyi was the real genius.

But now... she feels that this cheap little apprentice cannot be simply described as a genius.

Genius... perhaps that's the only threshold to meeting him.

However, she was still curious, "Then why did you learn light-body skills first?"

"Because I don't know any techniques, I only recently figured out how to use a sword," Wu Cheng said honestly. "I think lightness skill is very important, at least you can run away when you can't win a fight."

He's now simply a man of immense strength, capable of sending bricks flying. All his power techniques and moves were learned from Mei Gensheng, Shen Tianba, and those third-rate forces.

Having read countless martial arts, fantasy, xianxia, ​​and superpower anime works in his past life, Wu Cheng also frequently frequents places like online forums.

He discovered that the collapse of those works all began with the emergence of the first "bucket ability" (i.e., a skill that is difficult to master).

For example, in the beginning of Naruto, everyone was made of glass, except for the Jinchuriki, who were made of tailed beasts.

The complete collapse began with the emergence of Susanoo, a versatile and powerful hexagonal ability that could both attack and defend.

Another classic example is the magnetic field rotation in "Sea Tiger".

To put it simply, it's the difference between numerical values ​​and mechanics.

If it were applied to him, then naturally the more water buckets the better.

He wants both the mechanics and the numerical values.

The mechanism needs to be figured out gradually; providing numerical prompts is currently the best approach.

Lightness skill, a versatile skill that can be used for both offense and defense, becomes very important.

Besides, you have to live a long time to produce results.

A dead genius is not a genius; he is just a dead man.

Gong Yuqing's eyelids twitched slightly.

He is exceptionally gifted, possesses an indomitable will, has sharp thinking and can apply knowledge to new situations, and is never arrogant.

She suddenly began to doubt whether she was really worthy of being this little monster's master.

But she was more curious about Wu Cheng's future development; she wanted to know how far Wu Cheng could go in the future.

She was once known as "that prodigy of the Wentian Sect," then became "the sect leader of the Wentian Sect," and in the future, she might become "Wu Cheng and Bai Suyi's master."

Gong Yuqing chuckled self-deprecatingly, turned and walked out of the courtyard, "Come with your master."

Wu Cheng quickly followed.

The two left the courtyard one after the other and walked up the ridge path for less than fifteen minutes before arriving at a natural stone platform.

The stone platform is suspended in the air on three sides, with a hundred-foot abyss below the sea of ​​clouds outside. The mountain wind blows up from the bottom of the valley, making the clothes of the two people flutter.

Gong Yuqing stood in the center of the stone platform. The mountain breeze blew a strand of hair from her temple to her lips. She raised her hand to tuck it behind her ear, and Wu Cheng subconsciously glanced at her again.

When this cheap master gets serious, he really has the demeanor of an unparalleled fairy.

Gong Yuqing raised a slender white index finger. "Xiao Cheng, lightness skill is different from internal energy cultivation and martial arts techniques. Internal energy is the foundation, techniques are the means, and lightness skill is life itself. If you encounter a master you can't beat in the future, profound internal energy can allow you to withstand a few more blows, and exquisite techniques can allow you to survive a few more moves, but in the end, you will still not escape death."

"But only the light-powered features will allow you to live to see the sunrise the next day."

Wu Cheng wholeheartedly agreed with this.

Is Duan Yu in "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" so arrogant because of his profound Beiming internal energy and the unpredictable Six Meridian Divine Sword?

Both are true, but the essence of his ability to remain carefree without making a mistake is his mastery of the "Lingbo Weibu" (a martial arts technique).

Gong Yuqing continued in a calm and unhurried tone: "There are thousands of lightness skills in the world, but they can be roughly divided into two categories."

"One type is the explosive type, which emphasizes using an instantaneous burst of true qi to propel the body. It is straightforward and suitable for short sprints. The other type is not as fast as the explosive type, but it is more durable. It uses true qi to maintain a light body, which not only makes it agile in turning, but can also be used for a long time. It is more suitable for long-distance sprints and dodging in complex terrain."

"Xiao Cheng, which one do you want to learn?"

Wu Cheng blurted out, "Master, of course I want them all."

Gong Yuqing: "..."
