Extraordinary Realm from Persuasion System

Chapter 232: Chapter 145: Online Buzz, Seclusion in the Mountains Leads to Breakthrough!_5

But he was clear about the difficulty of the Yue Family Fist and Yue Family Spear!

It’s no exaggeration to say that ordinary people couldn’t even reach Entry Level in half a month.

Even Zhou Fan, with his exceptional talent, had managed to grasp only the rudiments after so many days.

And now you’re telling me that Zhang Beixing, who is extremely close to his sister, has surpassed him and graduated first.

No, if I remember correctly, Zhang Beixing only arrived at the base and started learning Yue Family Spear on June 24th.

Now it’s only July 2nd. It’s been just eight days.

He’s already...

Zhou Fan was puzzled and couldn’t comprehend.

Seeing him like this, Liu Pan naturally understood what he was thinking, but he didn’t explain anything.

Because up to this point, he hadn’t collected himself from the shock.

Had he not witnessed it himself, he would never have believed that there were people in the world with talents so terrifying!

In fact, four days earlier, Liu Pan had already noticed that Zhang Beixing had become proficient with the Yue Family Spear, having reached the level of ”Integration,” and was ready to graduate.

However, at that time, he hadn’t paid too much attention.

After all, he had already learned from Liu Yi that Zhang Beixing was a genius.

Furthermore, Zhang Beixing had achieved ”Great Accomplishment” in Yue Family Fist.

He thought Zhang Beixing’s rapid progress was due to the same origins of the Yue Family Fist and Yue Family Spear, which allowed for some traceability between the two.

Once someone reached ”Integration,” further improvement would require a deep understanding and mastery of the Yue Family Spear, and progress would naturally slow down.

Liu Pan had not brought up the matter of graduation.

Instead, he thought since Zhang Beixing was Liu Yi’s Disciple and part of the family, he would continue to mentor Zhang Beixing, sharing his own understanding of the Yue Family Spear to help him excel even more efficiently in the future.

Unexpectedly, on this day, after watching Zhang Beixing perform the Yue Family Spear routine, Liu Pan realized he... might have thought too much. Or perhaps, he had still vastly underestimated Zhang Beixing’s talent! He had nothing left to teach Zhang Beixing. Because in just those few short days, Zhang Beixing had mastered the Yue Family Spear to the level of ”Great Accomplishment”! Zhang Beixing’s comprehension and insight into the Yue Family Spear were almost catching up to Liu Pan’s! Damn it...

”How in the world did Little Yi manage to take in such a Demon?”

”With such a speed in Cultivation, even General Yue Fei wouldn’t be able to do it!”

Thinking of the rate of Zhang Beixing’s progress, Liu Pan was utterly astonished. It felt like all his years of effort in Martial Arts Training had gone to waste! Decades of hard work in martial arts couldn’t even compare to the effectiveness of Zhang Beixing’s training for just half a month.

Liu Pan simply had a strong mentality. Had someone else been in his place, they probably would have been so devastated that they’d cough up blood.

And at this moment, sharing his sentiments, aside from the bewildered Zhou Fan, was Liu Yi, who had followed Zhang Beixing back to Old Liu’s courtyard house.

As a scion of the Liu Family, Liu Yi also knew about Yue Family Spear, aside from Yue Family Fist. Though not as skilled as his brother Liu Pan, he had no problem distinguishing the good from the bad. It was precisely because of this that what he saw of Zhang Beixing performing the Yue Family Spear routine earlier that morning seemed unbelievable!

Sitting in the yard, Liu Yi lit a cigarette and asked incredulously, ”You actually managed to master the Yue Family Spear to Great Accomplishment in such a short time?”

Upon hearing his words, Zhang Beixing scratched his head, ”More or less...”

Although he had achieved such a great breakthrough in a short period, Zhang Beixing didn’t seem overly joyful.

Because he realized, even after promoting his Yue Family Spear to ”Great Accomplishment +23,” his task of ”[Fierce Gangfeng, Sword Intent and Blade Qi]” was still incomplete.

The most substantial change to this point was that his spear techniques became more fierce, more proficient, and stronger. Aside from that, there was nothing unusual.

Just as Zhang Beixing was frowning in contemplation, wondering if he had practiced incorrectly, Liu Yi noticed his distress and asked what he was thinking about.

Zhang Beixing likewise shared all his thoughts candidly.

Upon learning Zhang Beixing was pondering how to cultivate ’Gangfeng,’ Liu Yi shrugged, indicating he had no way to help since he didn’t know how to practice such a thing.

Gangfeng was an exclusive form of expression for Weapons, something Liu Yi understood little about since he didn’t involve himself with Weapons. He knew of it, but not how to train it.

So, a phone call was made to Liu Pan to inquire about Gangfeng. To this, Liu Pan was completely open and explained directly.

Gangfeng is something that can be achieved only after daily and monthly practice of a Weapon, reaching advanced levels, similar to the essence of Hidden Force.

It cannot be taught through oral instruction or by demonstrating. Therefore, when initially teaching Zhang Beixing, Liu Pan did not mention it.

But now Zhang Beixing asked, and although Liu Pan couldn’t specify how to practice Gangfeng, he did explain how to verify if someone had developed it.

That would be candle-snuffing!

One only needs to light a candle and thrust a spear, stopping half a palm’s distance away from the flame to observe its behavior.

If the flame is extinguished, it signifies Gangfeng has been achieved. If not, further refinement is needed.

Extinguishing the candle by waving, chopping, or lifting the weapon doesn’t count as success. That’s because the wind is generated by the object’s movement, not by Gangfeng.
