Li Zhiyuan: "The professor also said this. He said that our group of kids are too smart and haven't really struggled with learning, so it's easy for us to think too highly of ourselves and ignore the role of the platform."
"Your professor is quite competent. In this world, ninety-nine percent of people don't need to compete on talent; just working hard is enough.
Only that small group at the top needs to compete on talent, and they are often more diligent than others.
Do you understand?"
Li Zhiyuan: "I understand, you are boasting."
The figure bent down and traced with his fingertips on the ground, and soon, a more complex array pattern appeared.
After finishing, the figure clapped his hands.
Li Zhiyuan: "It's incomplete."
The figure continued clapping: "Exactly, I want you to complete it."
Li Zhiyuan picked up a piece of stone, squatted down, and began to complete it.
Literally completing it, without thinking, without hesitating, he just drew it directly.
The figure's clapping stopped.
Li Zhiyuan stood up: "It's done, it should be correct, right?"
Figure: "Continue?"
Li Zhiyuan: "Alright."
The figure started drawing in front, and Li Zhiyuan followed behind to complete it.
At first, the two were still in a one-after-the-other state in this long corridor.
But drawing took longer, and completing was faster, gradually, Li Zhiyuan began to catch up with the figure.
While the figure was drawing an array, Li Zhiyuan didn't wait for him to finish the question, he accompanied the figure to finish this task together.
The two of them drew from one end of the corridor to the other.
Finally,
The two, one big and one small, straightened up together and clapped their hands together.
Figure: "There's a problem."
Li Zhiyuan: "Did I draw something wrong?"
Figure: "Not wrong, I mean, there's a problem with you."
Li Zhiyuan: "So, the real me has studied arrays?"
Figure: "Not just that."
Li Zhiyuan: "The real me has high attainment in arrays?"
Figure: "Not just that."
"Then what is it?"
"The real you, no matter how high your attainment in arrays, even if it affects here, it's impossible to see my self-created array, recognize it at a glance, and draw with me!"
"Did you leave any works?"
"I have written some books."
"So I should have read them and remembered?"
"Memories can't be brought here, you've thoroughly absorbed it."
Li Zhiyuan: "Thank you."
Figure: "I'm sorry."
"What does this mean?"
"It means we can proceed to the next step, do you know Walking Yin?"
"I don't."
"I'll teach you." Saying this, the figure raised his hand and flicked Li Zhiyuan's brow with a finger.
"Bang!"
Li Zhiyuan began to retreat, and after stopping his body, he felt very light, as if he could float.
"Do you feel any discomfort?" The figure walked over.
"No."
"Can you go back?"
"End this state?"
"That's right."
Upon hearing this, Li Zhiyuan raised his right hand, not knowing why he did it, probably driven by some habit, and then he snapped his fingers.
"Snap!"
When he opened his eyes again, he was back.
The figure still stood in front of him.
Li Zhiyuan: "This is Walking Yin? Similar to soul projection in supernatural novels?"
"More or less." The figure turned around, picked up a pen from the table.
"How did I just do?"
"So-so."
With that, the figure waved his hand, and before the two of them appeared a colorful display, various light rings were alternately transforming.
"How do I do this?"
"Try to organize it."
Li Zhiyuan started to follow his intuition, his hands waving and adjusting continuously in front, soon, scenes with special meanings presented themselves in front of them.
Figure: "You must have taught others using this method, teaching people how to see the aura."
Li Zhiyuan: "So that means the real me also has disciples?"
Figure: "That's not necessarily a good thing."
Li Zhiyuan: "Indeed."
The figure held the pen, quickly drawing a black panther in front of him, the panther let out a roar and pounced toward Li Zhiyuan.
Li Zhiyuan started to run away.
"Why run? Use your skill to attack it!"
"I don't know how!"
"Keep following your intuition." The figure drew another panther, attacking from both front and back.
Li Zhiyuan fell to the ground, then reached out and tapped the ground.
"Buzz!"
Strands of black mist surged from beneath the paws of the two black panthers, and soon, the panthers were firmly suppressed.
The figure showed confusion: "What is this?"
Li Zhiyuan got up, pointed at them, and asked: "Do I actually know a skill?"
Figure: "Array, Feng Shui, Walking Yin, you know them all, how could you not know a skill? Does a poet not recognize words?"
"If I couldn't do it just now, would you have told them to stop?"
"You know I wouldn't. That's how your potential gets stimulated."
"That's very dangerous."
"You've already done more dangerous things." The figure waved his hand, the two black panthers dissipated, leaving black whip marks on the ground, "I say, why did you go over there?"
"Huh?"
"I've seen his descendants, but what they're using is some twelve methods."
"Is it the kind I just used? That family, with the surname Li?"
"Not that surname, and what you used is better than what their descendants use."
"Why is that?"
"It's not surprising, but getting too involved with him is not appropriate."
"Is his temper really bad?"
"More than just bad. Let's not talk about this, ah, could it be you're also destined to cross with a turtle?"
"I haven't kept a turtle, at least not in my current memory."
"Turtles do hold grudges, they're difficult to deal with, I never wanted to get involved with them. Hmm, not right, that those two places shouldn't be related to you.
It wasn't you who brought the three families over, not because of you, those two families have their own pull."
