Chapter 10 - Chapter 10: No Greed in Cultivation

As Xiao Yi activated the Dou Qi within him, the dragon abyss formation breaking spear in his hand seemed to resonate, trembling slightly.

"Ancestor, this spear seems to resonate with me?"

A hint of joy flashed in Xiao Yi's eyes; it was clear he was very satisfied with the dragon abyss formation breaking spear in his hand.

Xiao Xuan, however, merely glanced at him indifferently: "Naturally. Your Little Fellow's Dou Qi attribute is very similar, and this dragon abyss formation breaking spear was personally forged by me, so a little resonance is normal..."

"The Dragon Abyss Sky-breaking Art is the exclusive Dou Technique for the dragon abyss formation breaking spear..."

"If you want to learn this Dou Technique, the first thing you need to do now, Little Fellow, is to master the spear techniques!"

"Looking at your clumsy movements, I presume you've never touched this weapon before..."

Xiao Xuan said in a deep voice.

Xiao Yi's expression showed a hint of embarrassment upon hearing this.

Indeed, he had never practiced this long spear.

After all, since his Transmigration, Xiao Yi had spent all these years cultivating Dou Qi, and also a few years as a good-for-nothing.

Today was truly the first time he was learning spear techniques.

Seeing Xiao Yi's demeanor, Xiao Xuan roughly understood.

To be honest, Xiao Xuan had never seen such a 'clumsy' person from the Xiao Clan.

But Xiao Xuan was also somewhat helpless about this; after all, he was his descendant, what could he do but spoil him? Under the moonlight, Xiao Yi, holding the dragon abyss formation breaking spear, began to painstakingly learn spear techniques from scratch.

"The spear, king of all weapons!"

"Strength from the ground, Qi piercing the rainbow!"

"How can you face an enemy with such a flimsy stance?"

Xiao Xuan remained suspended in mid-air, patiently guiding the still unfamiliar Xiao Yi.

"Remember, the spear travels in a straight line to break through like a bamboo!"

"Thrust, parry, stab, sweep! Every spear strike needs to carry an indomitable ferocity!"

As Xiao Xuan spoke, if he saw Xiao Yi's movements were slightly off, he would even reach out to help adjust them.

Thus, under Xiao Xuan's one-on-one guidance, the dragon abyss formation breaking spear in Xiao Yi's hand was now wielded with increasing proficiency.

Under the moonlight, it even looked quite handsome.

Seeing this, Xiao Xuan couldn't help but nod.

"This Little Fellow, although his Cultivation talent is a bit lacking, his learning ability isn't bad..."

"He's becoming more and more like me back in the day..."

After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Yi's black training attire was already soaked with sweat.

"Ancestor, is my spear technique good enough to learn the Sky-breaking Art now?"

Xiao Yi asked, panting.

Seeing Xiao Yi's head covered in sweat, Xiao Xuan couldn't help but tease him:

"Little Fellow, are you so weak at such a young age?"

"Spend more time thinking about Cultivation, and don't always do things that harm your body..."

Xiao Yi rolled his eyes slightly upon hearing this:

"Ancestor, you make it sound so easy..."

"Don't you know how heavy this dragon abyss formation breaking spear you made is?"

"For me to be able to wield it like this is already quite good..."

Xiao Xuan said in a deep voice: "Ultimately, it's because you, Little Fellow, are too weak. When I was your age, I could wield countless spears like this..."

Xiao Yi sighed: "Ancestor, I'm only a Two-Star Dou Zhe right now, how can I compare to you!"

Xiao Xuan heard this, did not retort, but merely smiled faintly:

"Alright, alright, Little Fellow, you seem tired tonight, let's stop here..."

After Xiao Xuan finished speaking, he waved his hand, preparing to return to the storage ring.

But Xiao Yi suddenly interrupted:

"Ancestor, wait!"

"I think it's still early, why don't we strike while the iron is hot and learn the first move of the Sky-breaking Art tonight? It would be another skill to rely on..."

Xiao Xuan heard this and smiled kindly: "Little Fellow, you think quite optimistically. Is an Earth-rank Mid-level Dou Technique something you can learn in one night?"

Xiao Yi's lips also curved slightly upward: "Well, getting familiar with it in advance is a good thing, isn't it..."

Xiao Xuan nodded upon hearing this, as there was indeed some truth to Xiao Yi's words.

"Then start practicing..."

"I left a trace of power on that scroll, which will guide you in your learning..."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi did not hesitate, immediately reopening the blue scroll.

Then his Soul consciousness was once again brought into a mysterious space by that mysterious power.

"Dragon Abyss Sky-breaking Art! Earth Rank Mid-level!"

"A total of five moves. Only by fully mastering them can one break through the firmament and control the universe!"

"First move: Dragon Abyss First Awakening Art!"

"Dragon Abyss First Awakening, breaking heaven and earth..."

Hearing Xiao Xuan's voice echoing in the space, Xiao Yi then began to learn the Dou Technique amidst a mysterious power.

But after all, it was an Earth-rank Mid-level Dou Technique, so how could its Cultivation be easy?

Even with Xiao Xuan's guidance, it ultimately depended on Xiao Yi's own comprehension.

In fact, strictly speaking, the first move of the Sky-breaking Art was not that difficult.

However, Xiao Yi's current Dou Qi as a Two-Star Dou Zhe was simply too thin, making it difficult to accurately condense it onto the dragon abyss formation breaking spear.

Therefore, it was also very difficult to release this Dragon Abyss First Awakening Art.

Looking at the dense beads of sweat on Xiao Yi's forehead, Xiao Xuan couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

After all, at the end of the day, Xiao Yi was still just a child.

The next second, Xiao Xuan lightly waved his hand, and a wisp of Qi appeared.

He easily brought Xiao Yi's Soul back from the scroll.

"Little Fellow, that's enough for today..."

Xiao Xuan said lightly.

He wanted to end today's Cultivation.

Although Xiao Yi also felt very tired, he had a surge of determination in his heart at this moment, determined to learn the first move.

"Ancestor, I can still do it! I will definitely learn it today!"

But Xiao Xuan shook his head: "Enough. The path of Cultivation is long and arduous, requiring patience. Rushing for success like this won't work..."

Xiao Yi's eyes, however, were incredibly firm at this moment:

"But Ancestor, the Xiao Family needs me now..."

As soon as Xiao Yi said this, Xiao Xuan's figure paused slightly.

Because Xiao Xuan was too familiar with these words.

A thousand years ago, Xiao Xuan also believed this, that the Xiao Clan needed him, which was why he recklessly charged towards becoming a Dou Di.

At this moment, Xiao Xuan's deep-colored pupils stared intently at Xiao Yi, deeply moved.

Because Xiao Xuan saw his past self in this child.

But at the same time, Xiao Xuan couldn't help but feel some sympathy for Xiao Yi.

If he had succeeded in becoming a Dou Di back then, the Xiao Clan's descendants would not be living such a difficult life now.

Or if his cousin Xiao Chen hadn't gone missing, the Xiao Family might have been better off... Alas, there are no 'what ifs'... After a moment of silence, Xiao Xuan gently patted Xiao Yi's head and softly said:

"Little Fellow, the future of the Xiao Clan depends on you..."

"But you are still young, you have plenty of time!"

"Seeking quick success is not advisable!"

"This Cultivation, like being a person, requires the precipitation and accumulation of time..."

"Your performance today has been outstanding enough. Let's stop here for today..."

"Besides, with me here, are you, Little Fellow, still afraid of not being able to learn such a small Di-rank Dou Technique?"

Hearing Xiao Xuan say this, Xiao Yi took a deep breath and nodded.

After all, at this moment, he truly felt like his bones were about to fall apart...
