This Is A Tragedy! . . .

Regardless of the martial formula, Cha Eun Xiao could commit it to memory after a single hearing.

Yet the most astonishing aspect was this: after committing it to memory, he would immediately put it into practice. Within a single breath, he immersed himself in it, and spiritual qi began circulating within his dantian. Three breaths later, he would abruptly come to his senses and calmly state, "Master, I believe there might be an issue with this martial art formula... Look, what if I make an alteration here? Wouldn't it improve the technique?"

Lei Dadi had contemplated delivering a stern lesson to the seemingly naive young man. After all, that martial art formula had been developed over numerous generations. [You only just learned it a few minutes ago! How dare you challenge its validity... Cease daydreaming...] However, as he delved deeper, he realized that Cha Eun Xiao might be onto something. Thus, he decided to test the new formula. To his astonishment, [Oh? Operating it this way is more efficient. He's correct about this!]

He had initially assumed Cha Eun Xiao had merely been lucky!

Nonetheless, after that experience, Cha Eun Xiao was able to promptly apply any martial art formula as he listened to it, executing it with exceptional precision. It was nearly indistinguishable from the "correct" movements.

It was nearly perfect, if not identical. What could be the reason behind this?

Following several minutes of practice, he would approach his master with his insights. "Master, consider this. Shouldn't this portion involve a turning motion? What if, instead of lifting the foot, I maintain a firm foothold and twist the waist to direct the power through the shoulder and channel it directly through my finger? Might that not be more effective?"

Lei Dadi wished to reprimand him, but he was now uncertain. He contemplated it for a while and experimented with the new technique. Eventually, he wrinkled his brow. [He... somewhat... strangely... luckily... is correct about this...]

[He must be extraordinarily fortunate. It must be his good fortune!]

Hmm... As they delved into another martial art, right after Lei Dadi provided the formula, Cha Eun Xiao would perform it and then pause. "Master, this is an excellent martial art. Nevertheless, what if I maintain the position and modify the Cold Moon Art slightly to correspond with it, simultaneously channeling two streams of qi upwards? It appears even faster, doesn't it?"

Lei Dadi's expression darkened. "Hmm... You are correct..."

After two days, Lei Dadi was absolutely perplexed.

A person would be held accountable for what he had previously stated!

Tragic! Such a tragic tale!

He had spent his entire life learning these skills, yet his disciple had mastered them all within two days and even improved upon them!

Was it truly just a matter of good fortune?

Perhaps luck played a role the first and second times. But what about the third and fourth? And all those that followed? Were they all simply the product of good fortune?

"Master, where are you headed?"

"I am off to locate your Master Feng. It's his turn," Lei Dadi responded with a brisk stride, his countenance solemn.

"Master, don't you want to teach me more?"

"Kid, listen. Why don't you try to empathize with me? I'm old, and I've been teaching you for two days. I'm exhausted. Your Master Feng will take over..." And then he vanished.

[What more do I have to teach you? Nothing...]

After two days.

Feng Wuying was departing. "I'm heading to see your Master Yun. I'm not fatigued, but he's eager to instruct you. I believe we shouldn't keep him waiting for too long..."

After another two days.

Yun Piaoliu exclaimed, "You two old fools! Come out! Reveal yourselves... Don't hide! We should do this together! Blast it... Where are you... Don't play dead... Show yourselves!"

Ultimately, three great cultivators in the Dao Origin Stage had instructed their disciple for a total of ten days!

For the last four days, they taught him collectively.

Following all those instructional sessions, the three old men felt utterly foolish, as if they were nothing more than three unoccupied beds.

They genuinely had nothing left to impart.

Cha Eun Xiao had absorbed everything from them...

He had even absorbed the majority of the knowledge of the martial world that he should be acquainted with...

Sometimes, when the student was excessively clever, the teacher would always be disheartened.

Realizing that there was nothing more to teach was disconcerting... They felt deeply embarrassed.

[With all our knowledge, how can we instruct a student like him?]

[This is so embarrassing!]

[It's maddening!]

One day...

The three old men gathered, their faces brimming with woe. They genuinely wished to cry over the situation.

"After all this... suppose I run into an old friend of mine on the street one day..." Lei Dadi appeared thoroughly distressed. "I honestly have no notion how I should explain it to him. I took on a student and it only took me two days to teach him everything I know... Does this mean I'm abysmal or that I've led the young man astray? I assume they'll mock me until I die."

"They might say something like this, 'Never mind misleading the young lads, Lei Dadi, what in the world have you actually learned in your lifetime? How do you have the audacity to be his master with such dismal expertise?'..." Feng Wuying remarked.

"Get lost!" Lei Dadi erupted in anger. "Why are you singling me out? Do you think I'm the only one who was humiliated? What about you two? We three will be subjected to humiliation out there together!"

"I think we have nothing more to teach him... despite his weak cultivation..." Yun Piaoliu appeared exasperated. "I dare say he might even be more experienced than we are... Perhaps we are lacking in many other aspects..."

"Why don't we allow him to go his own way now?" Feng Wuying proposed.

"No!" Lei Dadi and Yun Piaoliu disagreed. Lei Dadi was indignant. "What if someone inquires about it? That would be disgraceful! People will eventually discover the truth, but I would rather keep it a secret amongst the three of us for as long as possible! The later it's revealed, the better!"

"Then let's send him to the Library of Fame! Nobody would find it suspicious. It'll be simple to explain why we did it," Yun Piaoliu suggested.

"Excellent! Let's do it!"

The three old men reached an accord.

"Permit him to explore the stories of our forebears and heroes... Allow him to delve deeper into our history... This will strengthen his allegiance to the sect..."

As a result, a decree was issued. Cha Eun Xiao was confined to the Library of Fame.

The three old men were unaware that this was precisely where Cha Eun Xiao had most wanted to remain.

In this location, he could absorb nearly all the secrets of the Qing-Yun Realm!

The Cold Moon Palace was not the most formidable sect in the Qing-Yun Realm, but it was one of the most venerable!

In other words, every facet of Qing-Yun Realm's history that could be recorded in writing could be found in this library!

Cha Eun Xiao voraciously devoured books in that place. He was utterly engrossed!
