’Is that the technique he’d just obtained from the Profound Pavilion— Flying Daggers?! But that’s impossible! He didn’t have the time to learn it!’ Min Li cried inwardly after witnessing Yuan levitate the Starry Abyss.
Then she recalled that brief moment that Yuan took to look through the technique, but that only lasted for a minute at most if not even shorter. How can someone learn an entire technique in less than a minute? Even if it’s the lowest rank technique, such a feat shouldn’t be possible!
"It must be a different technique..." Min Li forced herself to believe that Yuan was only using a similar technique.
However, when she saw Yuan controlling the dagger and making it fly around exactly like the technique Flying Daggers would do, her eyes widened with shock again.
’T-That’s really the Flying Daggers technique! He’d really managed to learn a Mortal-rank technique in a minute! Just what is his background?! Even the top geniuses from the Seven Legacy Families pales in comparison to him!’
’Wait a second...’ Min Li suddenly thought of a possibility.
’The Four Ancient Families... Could he be from one of the Four Ancient Families?!’ Min Li pondered to herself with a serious frown on her face.
The Four Ancient Families are very similar to the Seven Legacy Families in the way that they are only a branch family that has a main family somewhere in the upper heavens. However, other than that, the two powers were completely different.
While the Seven Legacy Families are known for their influence and large family size, in terms of power and influence, the Four Ancient Families vastly surpasses the Seven Legacy Families by a long shot!
Furthermore, very little is known about the Four Ancient Families, as they don’t usually show up in public or participate in large gatherings. One can say they are a mysterious background with immense power that is at the peak of the Lower Heavens.
’If this Disciple Yuan is really from one of the Four Ancient Families, it would make sense as to why he’s so talented but at the same time a nobody that no one recognizes," Min Li thought to herself as she watched Yuan improve with the Flying Daggers technique at a shocking speed.
Meanwhile, Yuan was having the time of his life controlling the Starry Abyss in the air, and once he’d familiarized himself with the technique, he began using it to attack the defensive puppets.
"Flying Dagger!" Yuan activated his spiritual energy and directed the Starry Abyss in the air to fly straight at the puppet, and the Starry Abyss trembled for a split second before shooting itself towards the puppet like a shooting star.
The Starry Abyss arrived before the puppet before one could even finish blinking their eyes and struck the puppet in the center of its head before it could even react.
The defensive puppet was sent flying backward, even hitting another puppet in the back before stopping.
"So powerful!" Yuan mumbled in a dumbfounded voice when he saw the destructive power from the technique. "And this is only a Mortal-rank technique? Or is the power mostly due to the Starry Abyss because it’s a Soul Weapon?"
Meanwhile, Min Li’s mouth was wide open from shock after she witnessed the powerful blow from the Flying Daggers techniques.
’What the heck?! The Flying Daggers is only a Mortal-rank technique and is known for being fast but weak! Yet he’s displaying power with the technique that rivals even Earth-rank destructive techniques! Not to mention, he’d just learned the technique not long ago!’ Min Li cried inwardly.
A few moments later, the puppet that had been struck by the Abyss Dagger slowly returned to standing in front of Yuan, but there was a small crack on its forehead.
’Even though I don’t have to pay for it, I shouldn’t destroy it...’ Yuan thought to himself, and he proceeded to continue his training with the Flying Daggers technique, and every time he went to strike the defensive puppet, he made sure to hit the puppet in a new area and avoided the cracked areas.
Once the puppet was full of cracks, Yuan went to another puppet and continued his training.
About half an hour later, another notification appeared.
«Your comprehension for Flying Daggers has reached a new level!»
«Flying Daggers Mastery Level (1) → (2)»
"Let’s see just how much of a difference a single mastery level makes!" Yuan mumbled to himself in anticipation before using the Flying Daggers on the Starry Abyss and attacking a brand new defensive puppet at full power and speed.
The Starry Abyss floating in the air suddenly flickered and disappeared, and in the speed it takes for one to blink, the Starry Abyss had already reached the puppet in the chest.
To Yuan’s surprise, the Starry Abyss not only sent the puppet flying but it’d also created a hole the size of one’s fist in the middle of the puppet’s chest.
Once the puppet bumped into another puppet many meters away, the puppet struck by the Starry Abyss broke into two pieces, dumbfounding Yuan and every disciple in the practice area that had been startled by the loud noise created by the impact.
"H-H-He broke the Training Puppet! I have never seen anyone achieve that before!"
"Just who is that disciple?! I don’t recognize his face!"
The disciples there mumbled to each other after witnessing a Training Puppet being destroyed in such a vicious manner for the first time.
"He... He really destroyed a Training Puppet..." Min Li mumbled to herself in a low voice and stood there with a dazed face.
A few moments later, Min Li suddenly began making her way towards the second area with a sword in her hands and a resolute look on her beautiful face.
"Look at that! Fairy Min is also going to challenge the Training Puppet! She definitely wants to try it herself after seeing what that disciple achieved!" The disciples noticed her actions and watched in anticipation.
