Seeing Luo Lie's smile, Yao Feng's expression turned slightly cold, "You seem quite confident."

"A bit confident."

Luo Lie was more than just a bit confident; he was brimming with it. However, being a humble person, he spoke modestly.

At least in Liu Hongyan's eyes, this was already quite modest. In terms of martial techniques, Luo Lie's comprehension was terrifyingly impressive.

Yao Feng reminded him, "Let me warn you, the Dragonstride—Riding the Wind and Waves is our pinnacle creation, developed jointly by us. It bears little resemblance to other martial techniques, and reaching the Beginner Rank isn't easy. You'd better stay humble and not get too arrogant, or you might fail to reach the Beginner Rank within three months and miss the chance to become our core disciple."

"Yes, yes, I will definitely be humble," Luo Lie replied.

Seeing his casual response, Yao Feng frowned slightly, feeling a bit dissatisfied.

Qin Zhi, being easygoing, smiled and said, "I've already given my warning, so I won't say more." He took out a brand-new manual, "This is the newly created Dragonstride—Riding the Wind and Waves. It's quite complex. I suggest you take a look at the famous Twin Dragons Chasing Pearl Painting in the Northern Waters Kingdom. It will give you some hints and greatly help you reach the Beginner Rank sooner."

"Thank you for the advice, senior," Luo Lie said, taking the manual and immediately starting to read.

Seeing his eagerness to learn, Qin Zhi and Yao Feng nodded in satisfaction, at least appreciating his respect for their martial technique.

The two then bid farewell to Liu Hongyan, stating they would return for an assessment in three months.

"I suggest you two don't rush to leave," Liu Hongyan said.

"Is there anything else, Monarch?" Qin Zhi's attitude was indifferent, giving off a distant vibe. They were well aware of the undercurrents in the Northern Waters Kingdom and preferred not to get involved, so they wanted to leave as soon as possible.

Liu Hongyan chuckled lightly, "It's nothing major, just wanted to invite you to watch Luo Lie practice your martial technique."

Qin Zhi and Yao Feng exchanged puzzled glances.

Liu Hongyan pointed with her hand, "Look."

The two Fate Palace Stage experts turned their heads.

To their surprise, they saw Luo Lie had already closed the Dragonstride—Riding the Wind and Waves manual, his eyes slightly closed in contemplation. Just as they were about to ask what was worth watching, they saw Luo Lie's figure sway, as if propelled by waves, drifting seven or eight meters away.

"Basic Rank!" Qin Zhi exclaimed softly.

Yao Feng squinted his eyes, his breathing slightly heavy.

They had given Luo Lie the requirement to reach the Beginner Rank within three months, and after the Basic Rank comes the Beginner Rank. The problem was that Luo Lie had merely glanced through it and was already performing at the Basic Rank, which was truly unbelievable.

As the creators of this movement technique, no one was more familiar with it than they were, which made it even harder to believe.

Luo Lie seemed oblivious to their exclamations and continued to practice.

He leaped and bounded within the Elegant Heart Hall.

Having never practiced movement techniques before, as a modern person with a particular fascination for flying and leaping, Luo Lie was especially focused on this first movement technique, immersing himself completely.

Half a minute later, Qin Zhi and Yao Feng's faces were flushed with excitement.

"Beginner Rank, this is Beginner Rank!" Watching Luo Lie leap with the faint sound of ocean waves, the two could no longer contain themselves.

According to their standards, reaching the Beginner Rank in three months already required extremely high comprehension. At least, they admitted that if they were to learn a technique like Dragonstride—Riding the Wind and Waves, reaching the Beginner Rank in three months might not be achievable.

Luo Lie had done it in just half a minute.

This was so shocking that they were about to faint. The two Fate Palace Stage experts couldn't control themselves, rubbing their eyes repeatedly, thinking they had seen it wrong.

When they confirmed they hadn't, a minute had passed.

Then they were astonished to find that Luo Lie's Dragonstride—Riding the Wind and Waves had reached the Proficient Rank.

The two turned their stiff necks to look at Liu Hongyan, as if to ask, "Is this real?" Liu Hongyan had already experienced Luo Lie's extraordinary comprehension, yet seeing it again was still shocking. It was truly unbelievable. She maintained her composure on the surface, smiling and nodding at the two elders.

The two elders exchanged glances, then looked back at Luo Lie, only to find he was already advancing toward the Mastery Rank.

In just three minutes, Luo Lie reached the Mastery Rank and continued practicing.

The two elders were completely dumbfounded.

At this point, as Luo Lie advanced toward the Artistic Concept level, he stopped, furrowing his brow in thought, sometimes frowning, sometimes puzzled.

The two elders, who had previously acted so proud, immediately rushed over eagerly.

"Is there something you don't understand? Tell us, and we'll explain it to you," the usually stern Yao Feng immediately assumed the role of a teacher.

Qin Zhi added, "Yes, yes, just tell us. We won't hold anything back."

With such an unbelievably gifted disciple, who wouldn't want him? They had to fight for him, or else someone else might snatch him away.

Luo Lie asked in confusion, "The Dragonstride—Riding the Wind and Waves was co-created by you two, right?"

"Yes."

"Indeed."

The two elders answered simultaneously.

"When you co-created it, wasn't the Artistic Concept state not completely aligned? There was a slight flaw, and the two of you weren't fully synchronized," Luo Lie said.

Qin Zhi pondered, "That's certain. Although we grew up together, trained together, and created many martial techniques together, the sea battle between the dragon and the beast was too magnificent, containing profound Martial Dao Profundity. Our insights couldn't be completely synchronized, and there were discrepancies when we created the technique."

Luo Lie nodded, "That makes sense. When I tried to reach the Artistic Concept level, I felt an awkwardness, as if there were two similar concepts—one of bold aspirations and one of soaring ambitions. Although the difference is slight, it's still an issue, preventing me from reaching the true Artistic Concept level. Each of you has your own Artistic Concept level Dragonstride—Riding the Wind and Waves, which aren't identical."

The two elders exchanged a glance, even more astonished.

Their differences were indeed like that, and Luo Lie had actually discerned it during his practice.

"Do you have a way to merge them into a perfect Artistic Concept level?" Qin Zhi blurted out.

He regretted asking immediately. No matter how extraordinary Luo Lie's comprehension was, he was still in the Body Refining Realm and far from being able to create martial techniques. How could he possibly merge them?

Creating martial techniques requires not only comprehension, which is fundamental, but also extensive experience and knowledge of various techniques. It's not that simple.

Luo Lie found it quite amusing.

What did they take him for, thinking he was some grandmaster of martial arts, qualified to pursue immortality? How could he possibly merge them?

But as soon as this thought crossed his mind, a scene suddenly appeared in his mind: a golden dragon breaking through the vast ocean, soaring into the sky. The flaw in the Dragonstride—Riding the Wind and Waves vanished instantly, merging into a truly perfect Artistic Concept level.

"Is this even possible?" Luo Lie was stunned.

He suddenly realized that the Sacred Ancestor's Legacy might not be as simple as he had imagined.
