"Who told you that activating an ancient bloodline would guarantee a top three finish?"
Chen Tuan looked at Tang Rao as if he were an idiot.
"To achieve a top ten spot in the Land of Immortals competition, almost everyone possesses an ancient bloodline. Those people who you rarely see only appear for the annual competition, then leave right after. It's rare for someone without an ancient bloodline to cause an upset, unless they're a Beast Soul User!"
Chen Tuan explained in great detail to Tang Rao, who seldom listened so attentively.
Tang Rao had heard about and encountered Beast Soul Users.
Li Ze was a Beast Soul User. Tang Rao had witnessed his power firsthand; when he erupted, it was as if he were no longer human.
"You wouldn't happen to say that there are Beast Soul Users in the Land of Immortals too, would you?"
It's one thing to see them in Blue Star and the Seventy-two Domains, but imagining the strength of Beast Soul Users in the Land of Immortals is beyond Tang Rao's comprehension.
"Of course there are, and the bloodlines of Beast Soul Users elsewhere are no match for those from the Land of Immortals. The winner of the last competition was a Beast Soul User, even surpassing several ancient bloodlines."
Could Tang Rao really think Beast Soul Users only have an Innate bloodline?
There's an old saying on Blue Star, 'Those better than you work even harder.' It's the same in the Land of Immortals.
Once a strong person experiences the joy of being strong, they'll keep pushing forward until they can no longer become stronger.
"The training of Beast Soul Users is endless. Their talent is remarkable, Tang Rao. Those are your true opponents, and you have to be cautious in the competition."
Chen Tuan felt full of concern for Tang Rao.
Back then, he repeatedly warned Tang Rao not to join, but Tang Rao didn't listen. Now, he's become deeply involved, and even Chen Tuan couldn't prevent him from diving into this abyss.
"Grandmaster, give me some confidence, allow me to have more goodwill towards the world, and don't let me be too disappointed, okay?"
Return to the Ancestral Spiritual Root at one moment, and Beast Soul User at another—people who usually don't appear in the Land of Immortals are all showing up now. What's the game here?
Chen Tuan scratched his head and said, "The Land of Immortals is shameless like this. Since you're here, accept it. If you can't, then return to your Blue Star!"
The Tang Rao he knew wasn't someone to back down when faced with difficulties.
"I can accept it. Keep talking, what preparation is needed to get into the top three?"
Tang Rao had become so eager to learn that even Chen Tuan was keeping his secret skill under wraps. If Tang Rao died, then he truly would become a single old man, with no disciple or grandchild.
"You've already noticed that in our duel, almost every move was just like yours, yet each was stronger than yours. Do you want to learn?"
Chen Tuan dangled an enticing fruit, making Tang Rao's eyes light up. Of course, he wanted to learn such a formidable thing—he thought sarcastically.
"Of course, Grandmaster is the coolest, Grandmaster is a great person."
Tang Rao showered Chen Tuan with every word of praise he could muster for a man.
He felt these words of praise were perfectly suited only for himself.
"Good, call me a good Grandmaster, and I'll teach you for free."
Chen Tuan's teasing tone made Tang Rao want to refuse a few times, but the offer was too tempting; compared to it, his dignity was nothing.
"Alright, good Grandmaster."
Chen Tuan burst into laughter, "That's why you're my good disciple."
Chen Tuan immediately lunged at Tang Rao.
In a moment of unguardedness, Tang Rao almost got crushed into pulp by Chen Tuan.
"How can you be so shameless?"
Tang Rao was furious.
"This is the first lesson before the competition: Never trust anyone. There's no sentimentality in the Land of Immortals. You could be killed by your most trusted friends any moment for fame and future prospects!"
Chen Tuan earnestly educated Tang Rao.
His words made sense, as if Tang Rao encountered familiar people in the competition who spoke brotherly to him, he'd likely lower his guard.
"Tang Rao will remember!"
With Chen Tuan's lesson, Tang Rao became much more focused and attentive.
He put forth all his efforts, ready to learn more from Chen Tuan.
"Give me your hand, I'll teach you the mnemonic. Try using the mnemonic to face me with your moves. During the battle, don't hold back. Give it your all."
Chen Tuan showed a bit of care. Before the battle, he enveloped both of them in a protective shield, worried about ruining Tang Rao's carefully cultivated Little World.
It would be a pity if those lovely Little Purple Crystals got destroyed.
"Grandmaster, be honest. Is this mnemonic the same as the Earth Shield mnemonic?"
Tang Rao quickly noticed the situation. He'd studied Earth Shield for a long time and naturally linked the Earth Shield mnemonic to the one Chen Tuan mentioned.
"How did you come up with that?"
Chen Tuan became intrigued.
Even he hadn't realized that the acceleration mnemonic was the same as the Earth Shield mnemonic.
"The mnemonic you gave only speeds up internally. Why can we use Instantaneous Movement instead of Earth Shield? Because Blue Star is separated by an endless sea, and besides reaching ultimate speed, no other way exists."
Tang Rao lamented, "Unfortunately, this acceleration mnemonic is still a bit slow. To find the true acceleration mnemonic, I don't know if I have the chance."
Chen Tuan's expression turned somber, "So you realized this issue even before me, but I've never found the acceleration mnemonic in my lifetime. Of course, if it weren't for the Reincarnation Technique, I couldn't leave the Land of Immortals, and now I'm far from strong enough."
There were still countless places on Blue Star that Chen Tuan couldn't let go of, and he wondered what Blue Star had developed into now.
"It's alright, someday we'll return."
Just as Tang Rao promised Chen Tuan, one day he'd lead him to another realm.
"Let's leave it there for now. As for the future, I'll leave it to fate. I just want you to reach the pinnacle and the realm you desire. I've long lost my former arrogance."
Chen Tuan came back to himself and said, "Quickly use the Heart Method Mantras, and fight me with your greatest strength."
Tang Rao already had many skills. Chen Tuan didn't want him to learn any new moves but to push existing ones to their utmost limits.
This kid was lucky to have learned the mental method initiated by Immortal Emperor, further uplifting it with his ancient Ancestral Taotie Bloodline. How many people could stand against Tang Rao?
Chen Tuan slightly spread his fingers, each carrying clear electrical streams that traversed between his hands, forming a large Thunder Ball in an instant.
The Thunder Ball grew larger, seemingly gathering all the microcurrents from the entire Little World.
As Chen Tuan made his move, Tang Rao replicated it and pushed Chen Tuan's actions to an extreme level.
Tang Rao inherently possessed thunder attributes. When Chen Tuan had gathered the thunder to a certain degree where no more could be accumulated, it instantly became Tang Rao's battlefield.
"Run out of thunder, huh? Dad has thunder attributes, and thunder is the last thing he's lacking."
Suddenly, the Thunder Ball in Tang Rao's hand was twice the size of Chen Tuan's. He constantly pondered how to maximize the power that Chen Tuan described.
With a flash of inspiration, Tang Rao compressed the thunder, compressed again, and compressed further. Initially a massive block of thunder, it was squeezed into a small crystal ball.
