In the past, to temper Xiang Beifei's spiritual power, Elder Luo often sang a song in front of him, turning his spiritual power into raging river waters for Xiang Beifei to resist, leaving him in a sorry state every time.
But who would have thought!
What goes around comes around, no one is spared by the heavens!
Today, when he tried Xiang Beifei's improved spiritual power, it was his turn to be "dinged" into questioning life!
[Your mind is all muddled; this is karma, ah! leisure value +66]
Elder Luo kept tapping his own head.
Although he hadn't mastered it, after all, it was his own Little White Crane. Despite cursing out loud, he wasn't truly angry in his heart; as long as he wasn't angry, the leisure value he added was substantial.
Xiang Beifei, propping his chin, was seriously contemplating a problem.
"Does Elder Luo not understand the state of my spiritual power?" he asked.
"I do understand! Don't I throw you into the river every day?"
"Then why can I do it, and Elder Luo can't?"
"I'd like to know that too!"
"It must be because you didn't study seriously! Learning this is very important for you, Elder Luo. You need to let go of your pride. You can't feel awkward just because I am your disciple, feeling burdened psychologically won't do."
Xiang Beifei spoke earnestly and persuasively.
[You can't master the improved spiritual power cultivation technique, how embarrassing! leisure value +55]
A million alpacas were thundering through his heart!
It wasn't that he hadn't studied seriously, he had indeed studied very diligently!
In order not to lose face in front of his disciple, he had learned with unmatched focus!
But hell, no matter what, he just couldn't master it!
"Dammit, how much more pride do I have to swallow for you, kneel down for you? Shall I call you master?" Elder Luo said irately.
"No, no, that's not what I mean, don't be angry, Elder. I will think of another way," Xiang Beifei forced a smile.
He was truly considering the system feedback for Elder Luo's benefit, the last time he improved Rapid Flame, Lu Hong's S-rank system had given a lot of rewards, so for SR-rank Elder Luo to master it, logic said it should be even more!
Elder Luo's strength is linked to his leisure value; adding leisure value is much more straightforward than those fancy system items. The higher his strength, the less likely he would be tricked by others in the alliance; he must help him!
For this master, Xiang Beifei was truly worried.
Elder Luo was originally quite good-natured, but he was increasingly doubting life due to the incessant "dings."
This cultivation technique was indeed challenging.
After all, it was an SR-level spiritual power, not like the initial S-level Rapid Flame, which merely vibrated the spiritual power, and the improvement was simple, Lu Hong mastered it easily.
But this time, it required combining SR-level spiritual power with SR-level reversal, which raised the difficulty to an entirely new level.
However, Xiang Beifei soon discovered the reason why Elder Luo couldn't learn it.
The operation method of spiritual power was different!
Spiritual power is a unique kind of spiritual power, but the way spiritual power operates varies from person to person; Xiang Beifei's spiritual power was always more special than ordinary people, practicing the Chaotic Yin and Yang Two Qi, his spiritual power has always been not easily comparable to others.
In Xiang Beifei's eyes, all the system cultivation techniques seemed to be capable of integrating with the Chaos Dual Qi Formula; even if there were conflicts, this cultivation technique could easily resolve them.
Therefore, he could learn any cultivation technique as long as he was willing; there was none he couldn't master.
But Elder Luo was different, his cultivation techniques were all from his own system, which was far different from Xiang Beifei's spiritual power.
Xiang Beifei turned and asked Xiaohei.
Xiaohei shook his head.
This cultivation method is quite special, and others cannot learn it.
If they can't learn it, then we must revamp the way spiritual power is circulated.
Xiang Beifei spent a full two hours studying Elder Luo's spiritual power. Then, relying on "Learn by Analogy," he mimicked his circulation method and transferred it into his spiritual power. After combining it with the counterstrike, he discovered that indeed, two SR-level cultivation techniques would clash.
This was also why Elder Luo's spiritual power became so vulnerable upon using the methods instructed by Xiang Beifei. Unless one of the techniques was swapped for an S-rank, there might be a slim chance.
"Since that is the case, is it possible to ask him to also change his circulation method?"
Xiang Beifei, comparing his own spiritual power, then referencing Elder Luo's, helped him analyze it.
The analysis process was not very smooth. He tried over a hundred times and failed just as many times.
Fortunately, he was extremely proficient in both spiritual power and the counterstrike techniques, and Elder Luo and Professor Guo had taught him both techniques without reservation from the beginning. Thus, he utilized "Learn by Analogy" to continuously make improvements.
Fortunately, he managed to succeed!
"Your spiritual power cannot be dispersed directly. To reach that level, you must first take a detour, and the counterstrike must be incorporated during this detour. This way, the obstruction between the counterstrike and spiritual power can be eliminated, and it will definitely be feasible!"
Xiang Beifei conveyed his research findings to Elder Luo.
Elder Luo sat on the balcony, looking almost ready to give up on treatment.
"Ah, forget it, no more effort, having failed so many times, I accept my fate. You definitely have better talent than I, probably only you can master it."
Elder Luo sighed and after a long pause said, "I'll be relieved if you can surpass me."
"Don't give up! Failure is the mother of success!" Xiang Beifei said sternly.
"My failures are almost becoming the great-grandmother of success!" Elder Luo touched his forehead.
"Trust me, this time there will be no issues!" Xiang Beifei said with utter certainty.
Elder Luo, looking at how serious Xiang Beifei was, felt quite moved.
This kid really is persistent.
No wonder he stands out among his peers, with great talent and patience.
"Okay, let's try then, the worst that'll happen is getting stung a few more times!"
Elder Luo didn't hold much hope for this attempt either.
"This time, don't use the counterstrike, just use spiritual power."
Xiang Beifei's spiritual power swept out again!
Elder Luo tried the method Xiang Beifei had researched as his spiritual power just began to disperse. Immediately, Xiang Beifei entwined his spiritual power around Elder Luo's from a bizarre angle.
"Follow my spiritual power."
Xiang Beifei led his spiritual power, then made another turn, and during the detour, he shouted, "Now!"
Elder Luo immediately exerted the counterstrike force, merging it into his own spiritual power.
Suddenly, there was a flash before his eyes!
This time, his spiritual power during the detour perfectly synchronized with the counterstrike!
Xiang Beifei's spiritual power was repelled back!
Elder Luo was suddenly stunned!
His face lit up with surprise!
It… it actually worked!
