77: Golden Dawnbreaker

After a series of tests, Gu Li nodded repeatedly. Even with his stringent standards, he couldn't help but praise it.

Even in his understanding, such powerful performance was top-tier among all evolutionary paths.

The three of them strolled along a path through the woods and flowerbeds, arriving at a classic fishing spot by the lake.

"I was the one who made this spot back then," Gu Li recalled, looking at the section of water that had been cut off.

The opening before them was over ten meters long and about five meters wide. Lin Shu hadn't expected it to be created by his mentor.

Seeing that Lin Shu didn't understand the truth, Wu Song began to explain, with a hint of flattery.

"The Hall Master's Blazing Blade Beast was here at the time. He just casually waved his hand, and this scene appeared."

A casual wave of the hand had such power. The opening was smooth and clean, showing no trace of an attack.

However, since it was done by his mentor, it was no surprise. With his exquisite and profound blade mastery, such a scene was effortless.

This made Lin Shu even more curious about his mentor's Blazing Blade Beast.

Gu Li noticed Lin Shu's curiosity and spoke with a smile.

"I know you're curious about him. Luckily, I brought him along this time."

"Take a good look. It can also broaden your horizons in blade techniques."

Before Lin Shu could reply, Wu Song on the side spoke first.

"That's great!"

"Shuang Ren has indeed hit a bottleneck recently and needs guidance from the Hall Master."

Even the Double-Bladed Mantis nearby, upon hearing this, showed a fawning and somewhat adoring expression.

It seemed that the Blazing Blade's demonstration and teaching were very helpful to it.

Lin Shu grew even more expectant.

Seeing the anticipation in their eyes, Gu Li didn't waste words. With a wave of his single hand, purple light flashed continuously.

A mantis-like creature, covered in golden and black patterns, suddenly appeared.

Its body was tall, a colossal five meters. In its large, bulb-like eyes, a brilliant golden ocean shimmered, filled with an air of all-encompassing majesty and solemnity.

The original downward curve of its forelimbs had completely changed, replaced by Sharp Blades protruding high upwards. Combined with the control of the lower joints, at first glance, it truly looked like it was wielding two long, fully exposed Sharp Blades.

There was no powerful energy pressure, only an unstoppable, surging aura that could cut down all things.

The evolved Night, however, felt a cold glint emanating from its black cloud-patterned bone armor, as if countless small blades were constantly attacking it.

It was truly powerful, the most luxurious attribute panel Lin Shu had ever seen.

After reading this panel, Lin Shu's eyes were opened, as it involved many areas he had never understood.

Like skill tiers, with Instinct above Mastery, and the existence of these Profound Truths, it opened a brand new door for him.

It seemed that these Profound Truths were the key to breaking through the ninth rank.

He just didn't know how to obtain these Profound Truths, or what their power and effects would be.

Lin Shu looked at these with a thirst for knowledge; he wanted to improve too much.

"Talent, stop for a moment. You always forget."

"Hurry up and stop."

Gu Li said, then kicked Blazing Blade's backside hard. The latter remained motionless, completely unaffected.

Only the sharpness and keenness that had originally permeated the surroundings instantly vanished.

Night finally relaxed quite a bit. The invisible blades that appeared from time to time had put a lot of pressure on him, making him a bit breathless.

The Double-Bladed Mantis pressed its arms together, looking at the Golden Blazing Dawnbreaker with adoring eyes.

"How about it, not bad, right?"

Gu Li turned his head to look at Lin Shu.

"Very impressive. Just his Talent almost made Night unable to cope," Lin Shu said truthfully.

Night, on the side, uncharacteristically didn't refute, only lowered his head, not daring to be presumptuous.

He could clearly feel the terrifying nature of that big guy in front of him; he clearly couldn't afford to provoke him.

"How are your Windbreak Blade and Blade Qi Strike coming along?"

"It's a good opportunity to have Blazing Blade guide you."

"In terms of teaching, he's better than me."

"Even Wu Song's dual blades were taught hand-by-hand by him."

Wu Song nodded in agreement. There was no denying it; Blazing Blade was truly skilled at teaching beasts.

Lin Shu looked at his mentor and directly stated his progress: "Blade Qi Strike has already reached Mastery, and Windbreak Blade just recently achieved Minor Accomplishment."

The smiles on Gu Li and Wu Song's faces stiffened. They looked at each other, both seeing surprise in the other's eyes. So fast?

It's already at Mastery? Haven't you only been studying for less than two months?

Do you not have any bottlenecks that need to be overcome?

They quickly composed themselves. This was a good thing. In a while, he could try to comprehend blade techniques on his own.

"Out of 100 points, I give you 1000 points."

"This far exceeds my plans."

"I originally wanted to guide you, but now there's no need."

Gu Li's eyes held a hint of helplessness. Having too excellent a student also brought worries; it seemed he, as a mentor, couldn't help much beyond providing some resources.

"Hall Master, can you let Blazing Blade demonstrate some advanced and super-tier blade techniques?"

"Not only can Shuang Ren learn and comprehend, but it can also allow Lin Shu to get an early exposure to these things."

Wu Song's words made Gu Li ponder for a moment, finding it feasible. Geniuses should do things that ordinary people cannot.

"That's good too, Lin Shu. Have Night watch carefully and learn well."

"Although the skills each beast comprehends and forms are different..."

"...there are still many commonalities within them."

Lin Shu understood these words. He went to Night's side and repeated what had just been said to him.

Night also nodded obediently, indicating he understood.

The Golden Blazing Dawnbreaker was currently squatting by the lake, playing with the water. Although it was just two ordinary swipes,

the water surged out wildly, and a tremendous force split downwards, momentarily cutting off the flow of water for a few seconds.

Such a large commotion caused deep resentment among the surrounding anglers, but they dared not voice their anger.

This beast clearly wasn't simple; everyone wasn't foolish and could see that.

They could only flee the area and keep their distance.

If they couldn't provoke it, couldn't they at least avoid it?

With the surrounding crowd dispersed, Gu Li clapped his hands.

"Blazing Blade, same as always."

"Teach a bit, move slowly, don't be too fast."
