Chapter 655: Chapter 655 – Half A Year
Yue Hua began to cultivate since he was five years old. At the age of fifteen, he advanced to the Nascent Transformation Stage, reaching the Dao Master realm.
This was undoubted an unprecedented and shocking achievement, enough to shock the world and make countless cultivators feel that it was inconceivable.
Although this world was suitable for cultivation and there were many powerful cultivators, a Nascent Soul cultivator was the backbone and an overlord of a region. Otherwise, Dao Master Yue Ming wouldn’t have received such cordial treatment when he was here.
However, now, a young man was born, and it only took him fifteen years to reach this level. This really made people speechless.
One had to admit that the people were indeed different. Even Yue Hua’s master, Dao Master Yue Ming himself could only sigh, lamenting that there were more talented people emerging from generation to generation, not to mention others.
At the same time, he also felt a tremendous pressure, because he was no longer able to teach Yue Hua anything at the Nascent Transformation Stage. At this level, although Yue Hua was terrifyingly young, his acc.u.mulation was very strong, much more terrifying than what ordinary people could imagine.
Under such circ.u.mstances, there was no good way Dao Master Yue Ming could give some guidance in cultivation even if he wanted to. Therefore, he changed his plan this year. Instead of teaching cultivation, he switched to teach techniques like the Dao techniques.
After all, although cultivation was important and was the foundation of a cultivator, techniques were equally important. The outcome would certainly not be good if a cultivator only had cultivation and could not perform any technique. Normally, it was fine, but they would immediately be in a dangerous situation once they started fighting.
Thus, after Yue Hua advanced to the Nascent Transformation Stage, Yue Ming began to teach him techniques, allowing him to temper his body and his true spirit to strengthen his foundation further.
Yue Hua also revealed a surprising side in this aspect. Dao Master Yue Ming was pleasantly surprised to find that Yue Hua’s technical talent was excellent. He had an excellent affinity for many techniques.
Furthermore, he was also different from ordinary people in swordsmans.h.i.+p, as if he was as terrifying as an innate sword body. Not only did he have such an advantage in cultivation, but his technical talent was also astonis.h.i.+ng. He was indeed deserving of being called an immortal embryo with such talent.
After that, Dao Master Yue Ming tried to bring some weapons with sword spirits, wanting to try out Yue Hua’s abilities in this area. Yue Hua once again displayed his outstanding talent in this area.
As he moved forward, whether it was weapons with spirit or real divine weapons, they all submitted to Yue Hua and voluntarily be used by him without any repulsion. This once again shocked countless people.
Everyone knew that divine weapons had spirits and consciousness. Even Dao Master Yue Ming himself wouldn’t be able to subdue a divine weapon so easily and would need to spend a long time and effort to gain the recognition of a divine weapon slowly, not to mention others.
Yet, how could it be so easy for Yue Hua? His situation was unbelievable, so much so that even Dao Master Yue Ming didn’t know how to evaluate it. Fortunately, he had already gotten used to Yue Hua’s outstanding performance over the years. So, he wouldn’t find it strange even if he saw such a scene, but only sighed for a while and didn’t say anything else.
However, the others didn’t have such good willpower. Over the years, all sorts of news about Yue Hua spread, shocking countless people. The legends about Yue Hua had long spread in this area and reached very distant places.
Even now, there would occasionally be people coming to visit, wanting to challenge them. These were the young Heavenly Gifted Individuals who came from afar. They were unwilling to believe that there would be such a unique existence in the world, so they came one by one to the Yue Ming Sect to challenge Yue Hua.
Some of these Heavenly Gifted Individuals were itinerant cultivators, while others came from large sects. All of them had extraordinary talent and were extremely outstanding. Among those that came by, they would be the absolute core as long as they showed up and would receive the attention of everyone.
However, at this point, all they could taste was endless defeat before Yue Hua.
“How is this possible…” Before a mountain peak, a young man was shocked as he stared at the figure before him with disbelief.
A youth was standing opposite him, attracting everyone’s attention. The youth was tall and handsome. He was like a Divine Son who had descended into the world. Every inch of his skin and veins reveals a sense of beauty, with a natural spirit aura that attracted everyone’s attention.
He had a faint smile as he looked at the young man and said softly, “Great match…” The young man’s expression immediately turned sour.
He looked at the youth before him and wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn’t. Instead, he only let out a bitter laugh and immediately left. The people around him dared to speak up only after he left.
Pairs of gazes filled with reverence landed on the youth. Just now, Yue Hua and that young man had exchanged blows. Both of them were in the Nascent Transformation Stage, but the young man was defeated in less than ten moves. He was completely unable to match up to Yue Hua.
Yue Hua had easily disa.s.sembled his opponent’s moves after ten moves and had comprehended his opponent’s ultimate technique within a short period. Such incredible talent and comprehension made everyone gasp in admiration, not knowing what to say.
“As expected of Brother Yue…”
Everyone in the surrounding sighed, “He is getting stronger and stronger…”
“In just half a year, he has already reached this level…” They sighed and felt inferior.
Yue Hua had been cultivating in the Yue Ming Sect from the age of five until now, and it had only been half a year since he started accepting the challenge from the cultivators outside. Everyone could feel Yue Hua’s progress during this half a year.
Initially, Yue Hua still had difficulty dealing with those cultivators and was still a little slow in technical fights. However, his progress became faster as time pa.s.sed, as if there was no boundary.
It had only taken less than half a year from his initial slowness to deal with his opponent easily now. Such shocking improvement was truly something that ordinary people could not imagine. Moreover, as everyone watched this process, their gazes toward Yue Hua became even more respectful.
Dao Master Yue Ming was watching in the distance. As he looked at Yue Hua’s figure, a smile could not help but appear on his face.
“How do you feel?” He looked at the youth and asked.
“Stronger than the previous challengers.” Yue Hua looked solemn as he said, “His swordsmans.h.i.+p was sharp. He was even stronger than the previous brothers in terms of combat strength. However, he was still too anxious. He wouldn’t have lost so quickly if he wasn’t so anxious. It would be at least twenty moves away if I wanted to win.” He looked at Yue Ming before him and a.n.a.lyzed solemnly.
Yue Ming couldn’t help but burst into laughter hearing Yue Hua’s words. He didn’t know what to say. He had also observed the sword technique of that young man just now.
The young man’s swordsmans.h.i.+p was extremely sharp. Even though he was not unbeatable at the Nascent Transformation Stage, it was still superior. Very few people in the younger generation could match him.
After all, it was already extremely difficult to reach the Nascent Transformation Stage within a hundred years of age, not to mention to master such attacking technique simultaneously as advancing to the Nascent Transformation Stage.
Dao Master Yue Ming boasted that his chances of winning would only be around seventy percent even if he went up against that young cultivator. Moreover, he would have to expend tremendous mental energy to win barely. It was far from being as easy as Yue Hua.
In other words, to a certain extent, not only had Yue Hua’s cultivation base caught up to his, the same goes for his prowess. Thinking of this, Dao Master Yue Ming couldn’t help but sigh and say in the end, “I have nothing to teach you now…”
“Master, you’re too modest.” Yue Hua smiled, looking pure and natural. “I still have a lot to learn from you, Master.”
“I’m not being modest.” Dao Master Yue Ming shook his head, and a bitter smile appeared on his face. “I think you know how capable I am. You had already learned most of the things from me more than half a year ago. So I have nothing left to teach you.”
“Master…” Yue Hua was about to say something but was interrupted by the Dao Master Yue Ming’s subsequent action.
“Alright.” Dao Master Yue Ming smiled and reached out his hand to touch Yue Hua’s head. “There’s no need for such formalities between a master and disciple. If there’s anything, just say it directly. There’s no need to hide anything. I have also asked some old acquaintances to find some connections in the past half a year.” He said softly and seriously, ” Your talent is the strongest I have seen in the past, dear Hua. You will be doomed to waste your talent if you stay here. You have to return it to those holy lands if you truly want to display your talent.”
Although Dao Master Yue Ming was in the Nascent Transformation Stage, his cultivation was excellent in the eyes of others, but in reality, this was his limit. After all, he was only an itinerant cultivator. Therefore, cultivating to this level was already a result of his talent and opportunity.
All of his inheritances were only obtained in a nameless cave abode. He had already fallen after reaching the Nascent Transformation Stage. It was already impossible for him to take another step forward.
Dao Master Yue Ming didn’t care about it, but he didn’t want to feel sorry for Yue Hua. After all, Yue Hua was different from him.
Dao Master Yue Ming’s talent was only so-so and could only support Yue Hua to this stage. However, Yue Hua was far from reaching his limit, and there were still endless possibilities.
