George maintained an indifferent expression throughout the entire ordeal. Despite Dan's oozing excitement, his visage looked poised and unyielding. Hiding all the astonishment that he felt inside his heart.
"I really didn't expect that the considered scum of a young master of the City of Cloud would actually possess such talent and comprehension pertaining to cultivation." Just several months ago, Dan was someone that could never be considered as someone special and unique.
And so many citizens despised him because of his habit of kidnapping girls and deflowering them. Fortunately, Dan from the Modern Day Earth transmigrated in this body and thus, the change.
"Since young master is at the realm of the Roaring Thunder in Flesh, we don't have much time to consolidate your realm at the Anger of the Lightning God Boundary. So I'll just teach you how the sole movement technique of the Lightning God Divine Art, works."
Staring at Dan's visage, George knew that the reason why he comprehended everything so quickly was that of his desire to return back to the Paradyne Academy and become intimate with his wife. Though it made him speechless, having a motivation for working wasn't necessarily bad.
Taking a deep breath, George flew from the top of the waterfall towards the skies. His body didn't emanate any traces of Spiritual Qi but when he reached the area before the waterfall. He mumbled under his breath, "Cloud of the Lightning God!"
The name of the movement technique was Cloud of the Lightning God, but what came out from George's body wasn't a cloud but an azure dragon that coiled around his body and brought him inside the waterfall.
The azure dragon protected him from the cascading waters. Forming a cavity where he safely floated inside. With a will in his part, he returned back to the top of the waterfall with the azure dragon in tow.
Dan stared at George with shock visible on his face. Witnessing someone suddenly arrive before him above an azure dragon was a scene that could compare with those wuxia novels that he read back in his previous life. Excitement bubbled inside his heart, just how awesome would it be if I can fly my own dragon and soar through the universe?
His body shivered in anticipation towards the movement technique.
George obviously saw the excitement inside Dan's heart as a small smile lifted on his lips.
"Before I start teaching you the circulation method of this technique, let me first teach you the idea behind this technique." George clapped his hand and sat on a stone chair that manifested before him.
"Young master, what do Gods, do?"
Dan knitted his eyebrows, the question that George asked him was a simple one, yet it contained numerous possible answers and if he answered carelessly, George may scold and berate him. Thinking for a moment, he decided to go for the most common answer.
"Create. Gods create." Dan nodded his head and answered. The small smile on George's lips intensified as he continued, "Indeed! Gods create! With a flick of their wrist, they could create anything under the heavens, but likewise, with the flick of their wrist, they could annihilate everything under their eyes."
"The Cloud of the Lightning God technique relies on the user's power of imagination, as well as understanding towards the creature, item, or anything that he imagined coming into being."
"In other words, the Cloud of the Lightning God movement technique can create all sorts of vehicles that could be appropriately used by the user. It is one of the most versatile movement technique under the heavens. It could even transform the user's body into something as small as an ant. But of course, that's when the boundary reached is high enough..."
George rattled on and explained the Cloud of the Lightning God technique. Dan's excitement intensified even further, "The Cloud of the Lightning God enables me to create anything and use it as a transportation device using just my imagination? That's neat..."
Though it sounded ridiculous, the advantages of the Cloud of the Lightning God was there. But Dan needed time to confirm it as he hurriedly urged George and started his comprehension process of the technique.
Long enough, arcs of lightning coiled around his body and repeatedly jumped around. Eventually, they looked dense enough and formed an abstract figure of something that George couldn't understand. Dan's forehead became filled with dotted sweats and his eyebrows locked in a frown.
His faintly trembling body indicated the difficulty of the process.
Buzz~!
The arc of lightning dissipated along with the abstract figure as Dan sprawled on the ground and sighed towards the skies. He could vividly imagine the image of the figure that he wanted to create. But when it comes to creating the smaller parts of the complete part, he struggled and had a hard time replicating it.
Stretching his body, a small smile lifted on his lips.
At the least, he reached the first boundary of the Cloud of the Lightning God in just thirty-six hours of constant contemplation and trial and error. Stretching his body, he walked near the edge of the waterfall and leaped down as arcs of lightning formed around his body.
"Cloud of the Lightning God: Bubble Submarine!"
This was the first creation that Dan made when he officially reached the first boundary of the Cloud of the Lightning God technique. Striking the waters below. A sizzling sound reverberated in his ears and his eyes widened in surprise and excitement when he realized that the waters couldn't enter the area around him.
Dan could see what everything looked like underwater. The numerous freshwater fishes floating by and the beautiful rock formations around him. He was entranced by the scene that he saw.
After strolling underwater for about thirty minutes, Dan realized that the bubble submarine that he made started to flicker and he reluctantly resurfaced, flying towards the top of the waterfall where George awaited his arrival.
"Congratulations, young master, you have finally reached the first boundary of the Cloud of the Lightning God, as well as the Anger of the Lightning God techniques." George clapped his hands. Though it felt and looked lonely, the amiable smile on his face and the slight wrinkles that leaked along with it, gave Dan a deep sense of warmth and familiarity.
"Thank you, George. I never expected that I would comprehend everything so fast...' Dan expressed his thanks and cupped his hands together. Scratching his head, he said, "If not for the fact that I became a pious reader of the books and has buried myself for several months in our Library, I would be so clueless when it comes to the Laws of the World."
The two started talking to each other. Their faces relaxed and it looked like they didn't come here for training but for a picnic instead. George even plucked some birds that flew past their heads and roasted them along with some fruits and two gourds of fine wine.
"With this, the young master will definitely become an all-rounder fighter and should be undefeatable against those with the same cultivation. But of course, I do hope that this doesn't make you conceited, after all, we're not undefeatable..."
"I see," Dan sipped a mouthful of fine wine, "Then, George, can you tell me the weakness of our Divine Art?"
George lifted a small smile on his face and said, "We have a supreme movement technique, and our offensive technique could be said to be as the strongest, but our defenses are abysmal. Almost all fighters of the Longinus Clan doesn't face their enemies head-on. After all, we have fragile bodies."
A light shone in Dan's eyes, "Not fighting head-on? What a coincidence, that's my specialty!" He exclaimed in his heart, as someone that possessed such a cheat called the Assassination System that could easily unravel the weakness of his enemies and even guide him to it, Dan was someone that had the potential to become the strongest Assassin.
"Now that I think about it, George, why did you summon me so abruptly? You could've just gave me several days to enjoy with my family..." Dan still felt wronged about George's abrupt nature when it comes to dealing with things. Just a month ago, he also did the same and sent him to the Merchant Town of Kalur.
"Well, those actions of mine are not without reason. Last time, it was to make sure that you can acquire the Inheritance key of the Shadow God Inheritance Trial, and now, it's because I don't have much time left before the Master orders me to come back..."
"Come back?" Dan lifted an eyebrow towards these words. George nodded his head and downed his cup of fine wine before continuing, "Indeed, I will be coming back with the Master towards the Continent of the Divine, that's the reason why I am rushing your development,"
"Wait, what? This is new to me, why are the two of you suddenly going back?" Dan asked with anxiousness, he heard about the Continent of the Divine but never knew where it was located and how someone could arrive there.
George realized Dan's apprehension but shook his head and said, "Young master, I know that you have so many questions in your heart, but please understand that you are still too weak. You're still unqualified to learn about the matters of the Divine Realm."
"Then, when could I be considered as qualified to learn about it..." Dan asked with knitted eyebrows. George stared at him for a moment as a satisfied smile leaked on his lips and said, "You are welcome to ask any questions once you reach the Realm of the Divine Ascendance."
"Welcome to ask any questions? Will both of you come back in the near future when I achieve that realm?" Dan asked with expectations, but George shook his head and said, "No, we won't be coming back," Taking a sealed letter from his chest pocket, he handed it over at Dan and said, "When the time of your breakthrough comes, open that letter and you will understand everything."
The letter looked average, but Dan couldn't open, nor pierce it with his perception no matter what he did.
[Failed! Reason: Unknown Interference]
"I understand, I won't ask anything anymore. But now that everything is over, can you bring me back to the Academy? I feel quite tired and I miss them already..." Dan yawned and stretched his body, staring at the waterfall and the scene around him, a small smile lifted on his lips when he thought about the several days that he spent training his body.
"Not yet, young master, I still have to assess how much you learned these past days and your overall attitude when it comes to killing and especially, your morality," George interjected at the side and his eyes pierced through the air as a bestial roar disturbed everything around them.
"It looks like the two groups are finally here," The earth itself trembled and George flew towards the skies, darting his gaze back at Dan, he said, "I will be observing everything, young master, so I do hope that you're gonna show me something that is worthy of a demonic cultivator..."
His figure vanished in thin air. Leaving the confused and astounded Dan staring at the horizon with a blank expression on his face.
