Chapter 452: Chapter 218: Teaching_3
Duan Song sucked in a breath of cold air.
Looking at Su Mo again, he felt it was incredulous.
Despite the fact that he had already held Su Mo in high esteem, thinking that at the very least, he had attained the same level as Su Tianyang used to be.
Yet the Five Ghosts Heavenly Demon Qi, which the entire Ziyang Sect was helpless against, required the Pure Yang Inner Power of Li Zhengyuan, and even the assistance of the Pure Yang Heavenly Pond, to just barely be able to contend with its internal injuries.
And Su Mo went inside for no more than a day’s work and actually cured it?
Just what kind of Immortal disciple is this?
“It’s all thanks to Grandmaster’s profound Inner Strength, otherwise, with my trifling tricks, it would have been impossible to dispel this Five Ghosts Heavenly Demon Qi so quickly.”
Su Mo quickly spoke with modesty.
“Hahaha.”
Duan Song then laughed heartily: “You need not be so modest, with such skill, you have every right to be proud.”
“That’s true indeed.”
Li Zhengyuan looked at Su Mo, gently shaking his head: “Your Inner Strength is something even I would feel ashamed of.”
“…”
Duan Song was astonished once again.
Others might not know, but he knew that Li Zhengyuan’s Nine Purple Scorching Sun Burning Sky Technique had reached the Third Purple Stage.
This martial arts technique was divided into Nine Purple stages.
Nine being the ultimate number, and purple as a symbol.
To achieve the First Purple Stage, at a minimum, one would need thirty years of hard work.
Since the founding of the Ziyang Sect, aside from the founding patriarch who achieved the Nine Purple Heaven stage.
Even the Second Purple Stage was extremely difficult to reach.
Not to mention the Third Purple Stage!
And there was Li Zhengyuan, with over a jiazi (60 years) worth of power, directly stating that his Inner Strength was inferior to Su Mo.
What sort of evaluation was this?
To what extent had Su Mo’s martial arts developed?
For a moment, Duan Song felt his mind was in chaos, unable to believe that such words could come from the mouth of Li Zhengyuan.
He couldn’t help but ask: “Sect Leader… Isn’t this an overstatement?”
“Hmm?”
Li Zhengyuan gave Duan Song a glance, and shook his head: “How many hours have we been inside?”
“We came before Mao Hour, and now it’s already evening, roughly about six hours.”
Duan Song said.
“Mo’er took only three hours to completely expel the Five Ghosts Heavenly Demon Qi from my body.”
Li Zhengyuan smiled and said: “You think about it, whether what I said is an exaggeration or not?”
“This…”
Duan Song felt a sense of helplessness in his heart. This wasn’t reaching the standard of Su Tianyang.
This was a height that even Su Tianyang himself could not aspire to!
He couldn’t help but glance at Su Mo once more, secretly exclaiming in his heart, little monster…
However, if you talk about feeling depressed, it was completely nonexistent.
Instead, he felt somewhat pleased.
Although the relationship with Su Tianyang had been fraught with obstacles, when Su Tianyang was alive, Duan Song certainly felt both hate and fear towards him.
After the passing of Su Tianyang, all that remained was nostalgia.
Now seeing his fellow disciple’s son like this, aside from the incredulous shock, all that was left was comfort.
Yet he couldn’t help but ask:
“If the Sect Leader has already recovered after three hours, then… why did you not come out for the rest of the time?”
Li Zhengyuan laughed heartily and glanced at Su Mo.
Su Mo could only say, “Grandmaster spent those three hours imparting martial arts to me.”
Perhaps it was due to not seeing each other for many years, but upon this reunion, Su Mo received such a generous gift from him.
He grew more fond of this disciple with every look, and once he felt slightly better, he didn’t even wait for Duan Song and the others to be gone before he immediately started to transmit the cultivation techniques of the Ziyang Sect to Su Mo.
Upon knowing that besides the Great Opening Sun Dispersal Hand, Su Mo had already mastered the Three Suns Burning Heart Palm and Ziyang Divine Palm, he further inquired about Inner Strength.
This led to the revelation that all of Su Mo’s Inner Strength, except for the Bright Sun Heart Technique, were in fact not from the Ziyang Sect.
Li Zhengyuan didn’t concern himself with where Su Mo had learned his skills from but simply passed on the Inner Strength of the Ziyang Sect.
He first transmitted the Nine Nine Primordial Yang Skill.
He had thought that it would take Su Mo some time to master this martial art.
Yet, Su Mo, sitting right there, naturally radiated Pure Yang Qi. Although the Nine Nine Primordial Yang Skill was still limited to Nine Layers, it took him merely two hours to fully master it.
Li Zhengyuan was left utterly astonished.
The Nine Nine Primordial Yang Skill is already an extremely advanced martial art within the Ziyang Sect, and there are very few above it.
Seeing Su Mo’s prodigious talent, Li Zhengyuan simply decided to teach him another technique – Purple Qi Comes from the East.
Purple Qi Comes from the East, unlike the Nine Nine Primordial Yang Skill, is a combination of movement technique and Qi cultivation.
And it is even more challenging.
This time, Su Mo mastered it even faster, taking less than an hour to fully grasp it.
Li Zhengyuan was so astounded he almost pulled out his beard, but in the end, he finally brought out his true expertise.
He passed on an Absolute Skill of the Ziyang Sect called the Nine Suns Stepping Sky Wind to Su Mo.
This was the only Footwork technique amongst the many cultivation techniques of the Ziyang Sect.
The moves were exquisitely unique, carrying Pure Yang Qi, and upon execution, it was like stepping on nine suns in the sky with fierce sun-like winds!
But this skill did not come as easily to Su Mo.
He practiced intermittently, pondering and deliberating, with extremely slow progress.
The rest of the time was spent cultivating this martial art.
During breaks in training, Su Mo shared his experiences with Li Zhengyuan.
However, about the martial arts he had cultivated, he did not speak much, only mentioning that he had learned from strange people by chance.
Their ways as reclusive experts were elusive and unfathomable, and he was further forbidden from disclosing any details.
Other than marveling at Su Mo’s legendary prospects, Li Zhengyuan did not do what he had planned.
However, watching Su Mo struggle with Nine Suns Stepping Sky Wind and not succeeding, he felt a sense of relief in his heart.
This was indeed one of his most closely-guarded skills.
If Su Mo could also easily master this one, he would have no choice but to pass on the Nine Purple Scorching Sun Burning Sky Technique to him.
Indeed, Li Zhengyuan was being crafty about this.
In truth, Nine Suns Stepping Sky Wind required one to have cultivated the Nine Purple Scorching Sun Burning Sky Technique first before it could be mastered.
It could be said to be the most profound and mystical cultivation technique of the Ziyang Sect.
Yet, considering Su Mo’s exceptional talent, as his Grandmaster, if he taught something that Su Mo could quickly learn every time, it might inevitably lead Su Mo to underestimate the Ziyang Sect.
He was not stingy with the Nine Purple Scorching Sun Burning Sky Technique; if Su Mo had shown slightly less capability, he would have planned to pass on all the martial arts of the Ziyang Sect to him from start to finish.
But in the end, he could not let Su Mo belittle the Ziyang Sect too much, thus he played a little trick.
Just waiting for Su Mo to struggle with his practice and then he would pass on the Nine Purple Scorching Sun Burning Sky Technique afterward.
Nevertheless, the fact that Su Mo was still able to gain a preliminary understanding in such a short time without the basis of the Nine Purple Scorching Sun Burning Sky Technique still shocked Li Zhengyuan deeply.
He realized that this disciple was truly an exceptional and rare prodigy, unparalleled throughout history!
