"Isn't it the same thing?"
Su Chen asked naively, he had overlooked Zi Mei's previous casual remark.
"Nonsense, of course it's not the same thing!"
Zi Mei replied irritably.
"So, what's the difference?"
Su Chen asked curiously, like a little student.
"Let me put it this way, a Divine Skill is the trunk, while Martial Techniques are just the branches and leaves. All branches and leaves grow from the trunk, similarly, all Martial Techniques evolve from Divine Skills."
Facing the clueless Su Chen, Zi Mei patiently explained:
"A single Divine Skill can evolve into dozens or even hundreds of Martial Techniques, but their roots are all in the Divine Skill!"
"Oh, so that's how it is!"
Su Chen finally understood, and he couldn't help but think of his "Thousand Hand Seal," no wonder it felt so powerful, far beyond ordinary Martial Techniques, that was the reason!
"Alright, stop with the nonsense, do you want it or not?"
Zi Mei asked again with an unhappy tone.
Su Chen quickly replied.
Kidding, Zi Mei was offering him a movement-type Divine Skill, only a fool would refuse!
Immediately, some information appeared in his mind, naturally related to the movement-type Divine Skill!
Su Chen glanced at it, the name of this Divine Skill was quite fitting, called the Wind Shadow Step!
"Remember, like the , this Wind Shadow Step Cultivation Technique is also not to be taught to others!"
Zi Mei instructed somewhat sternly.
Su Chen didn't ask for a reason; if Zi Mei said so, there must be a reason!
"By the way, Zi Mei, have you studied the ? I have a few questions. If you have researched it, we can exchange insights!"
Su Chen then asked; he'd been delving into the Elixir Chapter recently, and there were indeed some parts he didn't quite understand!
This was actually quite normal, after all, he was new to this field!
Zi Mei replied briefly.
Su Chen couldn't help but ask.
"Why did you stop talking?"
Seeing Zi Mei didn't answer, Su Chen asked again.
"If you don't know, figure it out yourself!"
Zi Mei replied irritably.
Seeing Zi Mei was unwilling to speak, Su Chen stopped inquiring.
"Well, if there's nothing else, I'm going to rest!"
Upon hearing this, Su Chen quickly said.
"If you have something to say, hurry and say it!"
"Um... uh, do you have any other powerful Divine Skills or Cultivation Techniques?"
Su Chen asked a little embarrassed; after all, Zi Mei had already given him the Myriad Laws Forbidden Tome and Wind Shadow Step!
"Do you think Divine Skills are as common as cabbages?"
Zi Mei replied, annoyed.
"If not a Divine Skill, a Martial Technique would do too!"
Su Chen quickly added:
"Look, I have a few women in my manor who are also Martial Artists, and a few friends in my other villa, I can't just forget about them, can I?"
Hearing this, Zi Mei felt that this guy wasn't selfish, so she said:
"Apart from the Wind Shadow Step, which I obtained unexpectedly, my other Cultivation Techniques aren't suitable for others to cultivate."
Su Chen asked curiously.
"You'll understand once you know my identity!"
Hearing this, Su Chen stopped asking, but he became even more curious about Zi Mei's background!
"Alright, I'm going to rest!"
Zi Mei said once again.
When Su Chen tried to speak again, Zi Mei didn't respond at all.
Su Chen could only smirk, tidied up the corpses, and headed back...
He thought, since that's the case, he might as well wait for the upcoming auction to see if there are any Martial Techniques suitable for the people in the manor!
When Su Chen returned to the manor, most of the women were already resting, while some were still cultivating.
Su Chen didn't disturb anyone, quietly returning to his room. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹•𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒•𝙣𝙚𝙩
He first took a bath, changed his clothes, then sat on the bed and studied the Wind Shadow Step!
After all, he had long been eager to acquire a movement-type Martial Technique, and now that he had the Wind Shadow Step, he delved into it with enthusiasm!
Because speed was his biggest shortcoming!
According to the introduction, once you get started with this Wind Shadow Step, you can cover two hundred meters in one breath!
If further improved, three hundred or five hundred meters would be no problem, a speed far exceeding Su Chen's imagination!
With this, his speed not only wouldn't be a disadvantage, it would instead become a major advantage!
This made Su Chen utterly delighted, naturally making him more eager to immerse himself in the study!
In the following days, Su Chen almost relentlessly studied the Wind Shadow Step, his zeal even surpassing when he initially studied Formations!
Fortunately, his hard work paid off, and a few days later, at the back foot of Yuquan Mountain, a figure drifted like a phantom, nearly impossible to track!
Zi Mei was completely stunned!
In just a few days, he had gotten the hang of it!
Even if this kid was working day and night, this was too much!
Keep in mind, this was a Divine Skill, the difficulty of which goes without saying!
At this moment, she believed that he really was the one!
Actually, Su Chen didn't think much of it, as when he cultivated the Thousand Hand Seal, although it took more days, if you counted the hours, it was about the same!
After experimenting with the Wind Shadow Step for a while, he was tired and sat on a patch of grass, lighting a cigarette.
Looking at the blue sky and white clouds, Su Chen reflected on his recent gains, and felt a bit incredulous!
During this time, even though his Cultivation Realm stayed at half-step Meridian Expansion, and he hadn't truly entered the Kaiyuan Realm, his real strength had skyrocketed!
Firstly, he completed his previous plan, fully merging several Palm Prints into one, greatly enhancing the power!
Secondly, his speed had significantly improved too!
The combination of these two was decisive in boosting his strength!
Besides these two, there was another unmaterialized benefit, which was the !
Although he didn't yet know what the later contents were, just making sense of the Elixir Chapter would have an immeasurable effect on his cultivation!
Of course, though the and Wind God Step were given to him by Zi Mei, it was also inseparable from his talent and efforts!
If it had been another person, the outcome would have been uncertain!
Especially the modification of the "Thousand Hand Seal," which he fully envisioned and successfully researched himself!
This was only natural. After all, there's no free lunch in the world; every gain requires effort!
