Chapter 2248: Chapter 2252: Snatching Talents
"I..."
Si Huang’er froze for a moment, frowned, and glanced at Jiang Chen.
Gritting her teeth, Si Huang’er walked to the tree by the shore and picked a leaf.
Tan Lao glanced at Si Huang’er and then turned to Jiang Chen.
At this moment, Jiang Chen had already opened his eyes and met Tan Lao’s gaze: "Rest assured, I wouldn’t dare let the little princess develop a Heart Demon; I still wish to live!"
Tan Lao was taken aback momentarily, glanced at Si Huang’er again, and whispered, "Does this help the little princess?"
"It doesn’t help much, but if she can persist, I believe her unstable spiritual power can be controlled."
Jiang Chen chuckled softly and replied in a low voice.
"You can sense the instability in the little princess’s spiritual power?"
Tan Lao was surprised, a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Jiang Chen smiled slightly, said nothing, and raised his hand to reveal a trace of spiritual power within it.
"This... you’re already refining spiritual power? And it’s solidified to this extent! Even more than the little princess..."
Tan Lao cautiously glanced at Si Huang’er and whispered, "More solidified than the princess’s spiritual power. How did you achieve this?"
"Refining spiritual power boils down to two points: spending time and enduring pain. If you can reach the extremes of these two, that will suffice!"
Jiang Chen replied indifferently, closing his eyes once more.
Tan Lao blinked, admiration in his eyes.
This sounds simple, but it’s incredibly difficult to accomplish!
Refining spiritual power is essentially compression, which can easily rebound, rendering efforts futile. Moreover, the basic of refining spiritual power is breaking through the apertures, which has stumped most cultivators along the path. Most rely on the Dao Seed during their Unity Realm Stage...
Wait!
At this thought, Tan Lao suddenly froze, amazed as he looked at Jiang Chen.
This kid... broke through the apertures? Doesn’t this mean he has already practiced combat skills? Yet during the Mingqian Banquet...
A trace of admiration appeared in Tan Lao’s eyes; this kid hides too deeply!
Glancing at Yuan Chong, who was watching Ouyang Ruoxue’s training under the tree, Tan Lao gently shook his head. This kid is indeed much stronger than Yuan Chong. With his power control alongside the Five Elements Great Path, few in the Divine Infant Realm would dare receive even one attack from him!
Buzz!
A subtle fluctuation occurred, prompting Tan Lao to turn his head.
Under the tree, Si Huang’er watched the pulverized leaf in her hand, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and a pensive expression appeared in her eyes.
After a while, Si Huang’er picked another leaf and infused it with spiritual power.
Swoosh!
A tearing sound echoed; rather than disintegrating into debris, the leaf split in half.
Si Huang’er’s brows lifted, a hint of joy flashing in her eyes. She glanced at Jiang Chen lying on the river, a competitive look in her eyes, and continued picking leaves to infuse with spiritual power.
It seems the little princess has gained some insight too!
Tan Lao smiled with gratification, scanning the area and finding six young individuals absorbed in cultivation.
Helplessly shaking his head, Tan Lao sat cross-legged by the shore, closing his eyes in feigned sleep.
The time slowly passed as the sun gradually set, cloaking the sky in a faint darkness.
Swoosh swoosh!
Two figures leaped down from the mountain top, arriving at the riverbank.
"Princess Chang!"
"Tan Lao!"
Tan Lao stood up, cupping his fists towards Princess Chang, and Hu Yiqiu saluted Tan Lao.
"Are these young ones cultivating? This cultivation method..."
Princess Chang glanced at Jiang Chen and the others nearby, focusing on Si Huang’er, who was attempting to cut the leaf.
"Mr. Jiang offered some guidance, leading both the little princess and Yuan Chong to start training in power control."
Tan Lao spoke with a light laugh.
Princess Chang was slightly surprised, a hint of astonishment in her eyes.
Si Huang’er has high aspirations, having witnessed many advanced training methods in Canglan City. Yet she followed Jiang Chen’s guidance, which indirectly demonstrates the excellence of his training method!
"Didn’t they say merely imitating won’t yield much result?"
Princess Chang’s eyes showed a trace of confusion as she turned to Hu Yiqiu.
"While results vary, it doesn’t mean no results."
Hu Yiqiu smiled slightly: "Compared to other methods, this training mainly familiarizes them with the style, potentially improving their power control a bit. But upon reaching a certain level, further improvement would require Mr. Jiang’s direct guidance."
"This kid would thoroughly analyze your internal power, pinpointing your weak spots regarding control, providing adjustments accordingly, and finetuning the trajectory during power operation."
"Ultimately, your power becomes stronger, and such guidance requires him to entirely understand your internal power; otherwise, it can’t be adjusted accordingly!"
Princess Chang’s eyes revealed a trace of astonishment, involuntarily exclaiming: "Addressing weaknesses in power control and adjusting power operation? Can this really be achieved? Isn’t this a capability exclusive to Saints?"
"Princess Chang, this capability isn’t exclusive to Saints. It can be accomplished if one’s research on power reaches its peak. However, this level of thorough power understanding is typically achieved only by Saints who command domains, taking advantage of their supremacy within them. I didn’t expect Mr. Jiang to accomplish this so early; this is truly..."
Tan Lao couldn’t find suitable words to describe Jiang Chen’s excellence; he’s simply a monster!
Princess Chang inhaled deeply, feeling profoundly shaken inside, thinking such capability, if widely developed, would...
"Old Rascal, how about letting your disciple train in Canglan City?"
Princess Chang’s eyes burned as she looked at Hu Yiqiu: "I’ll ensure he’s nurtured to the fullest!"
"Impossible!"
Hu Yiqiu’s expression turned stern, firmly rejecting.
"Why not? With his capability, if allowed..."
Princess Chang’s eyes showed urgency as she spoke hurriedly.
"Si Luan’er!"
Hu Yiqiu unexpectedly called out her name.
Princess Chang paused for a moment, furrowing her brows tightly, full of incomprehension.
She understood Hu Yiqiu; when he called her by name, it indicated extreme anger!
Yet she couldn’t comprehend where she went wrong.
Before, similar incidents occurred, suddenly getting angry and ignoring her, and this time, again exploding with fury!
For a moment, Princess Chang was also ablaze with anger!
