60: Respectable teacher

Two hours later.

Wang Mang received the comparison between the Armed State and the normal state, casually tossing his jacket on the ground and sitting cross-legged.

He looked at the results, scratching his head.

Ye Liuyun, seeing this, felt a little anxious. Could there be something wrong with him?

He asked, but Wang Mang didn't respond.

It was as if he was immersed in his own world.

"Master, I..."

"Don't speak."

Wang Mang stared intently at the results, constantly jotting down notes.

Seeing his state, Ye Liuyun didn't dare to speak and sat down beside him.

His anxiety intensified with time.

Could he really have a problem?

That shouldn't be the case.

He felt fine now.

About half an hour passed.

Wang Mang looked up, and his gaze at Ye Liuyun made the latter feel a strange unease.

"Master... do I have any problems...?"

"This is too infuriating! Ye Liuyun, you little rascal, you've hit the jackpot, you know that?

Your mutated ability makes me so jealous!" Wang Mang put down the results and let out a long howl to the sky.

Over the years, he had exerted immense effort, overcome countless difficulties, and endured endless hardships.

Wang Mang had always believed that the harder you worked, the luckier you got, but now, he was broken.

Ye Liuyun's comparison results shattered him internally; his normal state was comparable to Advanced Rank Two, and his Armed State directly leaped a whole Rank.

In his Armed State, his overall qualities had reached Advanced Rank Three.

And his innate Martial Skill was even more terrifying.

"Harder you work, luckier you get" was utter nonsense; compared to such a monster, it was more like the harder you worked, the more infuriated you got... Seeing that fierce, exposed gaze, Ye Liuyun felt a little uncertain.

Wang Mang wouldn't do anything irrational out of anger, would he?

Fortunately, nothing happened in the end, otherwise Ye Liuyun would have called for help!

"Give me back the USB drive I gave you earlier. I've already set a new training path for you." Wang Mang had thought he'd rated Ye Liuyun highly enough, but now, looking at these results, it was far too low.

After getting the USB drive, Wang Mang muttered to himself.

"Three S-Rank Martial Skills, one for body tempering, and two that use Qi and blood to condense into offensive techniques. I know your innate Martial Skill has a time limit.

And we Beast-type martial artists, in some respects, have a weakness in long-range attacks.

So, the Cultivation method I'm giving you focuses primarily on that body-tempering Martial Skill, with the other two as supplements..."

Listening to Wang Mang's explanation, Ye Liuyun knew he had met the right person.

As expected of the only Rank Nine Great Master of the Beast-type, he had considered all of Ye Liuyun's concerns in advance.

Furthermore, he truly admired Wang Mang's mind; this was likely something he had thought out in just half an hour.

"I'll give you a brief overview now. The day after tomorrow, I'll send someone to pick you up and bring you to my place. Then, we, Master and Disciple, will study it in detail, and I'll help you get started.

This Dao of Cultivation will be fine for you until Rank Five. Once you reach Rank Six, I'll arrange your next stage of training."

Wang Mang completely outlined his plans for Ye Liuyun's future path.

As he spoke, he became radiant, excitedly gesticulating.

After listening intently, Ye Liuyun stood up and solemnly bowed to Wang Mang.

"Thank you, Master."

This was sincere gratitude.

From how easily he rattled off information about him, it was clear that Wang Mang had put a lot of effort into him.

Without any familial ties, and even without having met him, he had already done so much groundwork.

How could this not make him grateful?

It showed how important it was to have a responsible Master on one's life's Dao.

"Alright, don't bother with that. If I can't reach a certain Realm, it's fine if my Disciple does!" Wang Mang's eyes gleamed with an unusual light.

In his eyes, Ye Liuyun was now a perfect uncut jade, whose future value would be immeasurable with just a little polishing.

"Study hard! The great banner of the Beast-type will fall upon your shoulders in the future!"

Holding the two sets of documents, Wang Mang stood up and looked at Ye Liuyun.

His decision to take him as a Disciple was too correct!

"Knock, knock, knock! Master!"

The training hall door was knocked.

A voice came through.

"Come in!"

The door opened, and Yang Zhenxiong walked in.

"This must be Junior Brother, right? I've heard Master talk about you every day, and today I finally get to meet you! My name is Yang Zhenxiong, I'm Master's third Disciple."

Yang Zhenxiong walked in, saw Ye Liuyun, stepped forward, and extended his hand with a smile.

"Greetings, Senior Brother." Ye Liuyun quickly shook his hand.

The gleaming military Rank on his chest was very eye-catching.

Major General!

The information showed that his First Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother were also powerful generals in the military.

Adding Wang Mang, this lineage was filled with generals!

"Why are you here if you're not on the front line?"

"Master, I..."

"'I what, I what'? Did I tell you to abandon your post?"

"No, Master, you..."

"Get out of here, now!"

Yang Zhenxiong was speechless, rebutted.

Ye Liuyun, standing nearby, was slightly stunned. It seemed Wang Mang was quite good to him!

"That's it for this time. If you dare to abandon your post again, I'll dock three months of your salary!" Wang Mang snorted coldly, his brows furrowed, then turned to Ye Liuyun, his expression softening.

"Are you hungry? Let's go eat!"

Wang Mang picked up his jacket, tossed it to Yang Zhenxiong, and pulled Ye Liuyun's hand as they walked out.

This scene left Yang Zhenxiong dumbfounded.

Wait, when had his Master ever been like this?

Among their Senior Brothers, Wang Mang was practically the God of Darkness.

He'd relentlessly scold anyone he caught.

Forget holding hands; even speaking a few kind words to someone was worth boasting about.

The difference was too great!

Ye Liuyun rubbed his head. Good talent really allowed one to be arrogant.

Finally, Yang Zhenxiong caught up, and the three of them had dinner together.

After dinner, Wang Mang, Yang Zhenxiong, and his adjutant left the school by airship.

After seeing Wang Mang off, Ye Liuyun gently exhaled.

His heart had finally settled.

Wang Mang had not disappointed him.

He truly was a good Master.

Following his training method, he was already excited.

Especially that offensive Martial Skill that transformed Qi and blood, Ye Liuyun was already tempted; if Wang Mang hadn't told him to wait two days, he would want to learn it now.

After all, his pockets were full now!

It was indeed the right decision to save those Beast points back then.

If he had been empty-handed, even with the Martial Skills, he wouldn't have reached any profound level quickly!
