After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

It was this guy who embarrassed Xia Meimei and the other young lady anyway.

Shi Yan's lips suddenly curled up, "It will probably take another ten days to half a month before I reach the Qi Refining Realm."

"There's no time like the present, why not come and ponder it today?"

Comprehension?

When it comes to comprehension, the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow player has never been afraid of anyone.

Part 20: I Lost [First Update]

He looked at the girl standing awkwardly behind Ming Zhongle.

The teacher's words evoked a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, deep emotion).

She had never seen such a shameless person.

He actually used his own sister's talent as leverage to gamble with others. He didn't even ask his sister's opinion, and acted as if it were perfectly reasonable.

Ming Zhongqing's brother is actually this kind of scoundrel.

What bad luck.

It would be better to let your 'senior brother' pamper you and bully you a bit.

Hmm... why do I feel like I'm being a little silly?

Forget it.

Shi Yan raised an eyebrow and looked at Ming Zhongle.

He barely remembered this guy in the game until he killed him. The only thing he remembered was that the guy seemed to have been lusting after his Xiaxia.

A smile played on her lips. "How is it?"

Ming Zhongle was amused by his teacher's words.

He had never seen anyone so 'suicidal' before.

My younger sister's comprehension is exceptionally rare.

Even looking at the whole of China, it is definitely one of the best.

It's just a mere teacher's words. He only resumed cultivation at the age of fifteen. How could his younger sister possibly lose?

"Let's compete then."

"Is everything alright, little sister?" Ming Zhongle then turned to look at his sister.

Ming Zhongqing glanced at Ming Zhongle, then at Shi Yan, before nodding slightly in agreement, "No problem."

That "Lotus Separation Technique" is the inner cultivation method of the Sword Sect.

Ming Zhongqing's talent in swordsmanship was not particularly outstanding, but he had just barely met the cultivation requirements of this manual.

With near-maximum comprehension, plus the fact that his master had not yet entered the Qi Refining Realm.

I... I probably won't lose.

Unlike the confident Ming Zhongle, the "exceptionally intelligent" Ming Zhongqing felt somewhat uneasy.

Shi Yan's expression was too confident.

His confidence was so great that it even made Ming Zhongqing feel a little intimidated.

...

Both the Ming family and the Shi family are notorious bigwigs in Nanjun City.

Langya Pavilion is not afraid that either party will renege on their promise over a secret manual.

The shopkeeper even specially set aside a private room on the third floor of Langya Pavilion for Shi Yan and Ming Zhongqing to compete.

The "Lotus Separation Technique" was placed flat on a low table.

Shi Yan and Ming Zhongqing sat facing each other.

Jun Qianrou and Xia Xia stood behind Shi Yan, looking at the frail girl opposite him.

Ming Zhongle, on the other hand, looked at Shi Xia behind Shi Yan with a face full of joy, his admiration overflowing.

Shi Yan glanced at Ming Zhongqing in front of him.

The girl pursed her lips, lowered her eyes, and didn't even look at Shi Yan directly.

Shi Yan then turned his attention to the secret manual in front of him.

If we were still in the game, the cheat code in front of us would probably look like this:

【The Great Lotus Separation Technique (Qi Refining Realm)】.

Learning requirements: The character must reach the Qi Refining Realm and have a sword aptitude of 28 points.

Later on, Master Yan also mentioned the [Lotus Separation Technique (Foundation Building Realm)], [Lotus Separation Technique (Nascent Soul Realm)], and so on.

The differences between these cultivation techniques and manuals are not only reflected in the different attributes they grant to players, but also in the threshold for cultivation level and the aptitude requirements.

As for non-player characters, such as players' partners.

There are no level requirements for them to practice these cultivation techniques and secret manuals; they only need to meet the corresponding aptitude and physical attributes.

The skill threshold is merely a limitation imposed on players by the game.

After being reborn into this world, Shi Yan has obviously also broken free from this limitation.

As for the qualification requirements...

Shi Yan looked at his character attribute panel and saw that his swordsmanship aptitude was 999.

Kendo aptitude 28 points?

Whom do you look down on?

Come on, let's make it a single digit.

"Are you ready?" With his eyes lowered and his hands gently resting on his knees, Ming Zhongqing asked Xiang Shiyan.

She looked at Shi Yan's slender waist.

The girl's eyes gleamed with a thoughtful light.

“Anytime is fine,” Shi Yan said with a light laugh.

"Then let's begin." Ming Zhongqing nodded.

Shi Yan raised his right hand and gently placed it on the dark red-covered manual.

Then, Ming Zhongqing also raised his right hand.

But... the cover of the manual was only so big to begin with, and there wasn't enough space for Ming Zhongqing to put his whole hand down.

Before Shi Yan could pull her hand away, Ming Zhongqing hesitated for a moment before placing her hand on Shi Yan's, the girl's fingertips resting on Shi Yan's hand.

Without saying much, Ming Zhongqing simply closed his eyes.

With her mind and spirit in perfect harmony, she quickly entered a state of enlightenment.

The path to enlightenment is long and arduous.

Knowing his own physical condition well, Ming Zhongqing cherished his cultivation time more than anyone else.

Seeing that Ming Zhongqing had entered a state of enlightenment, Shi Yan also cast aside his distracting thoughts and closed his eyes.

To be honest... she was actually a little weak.

After all, she had just transmigrated and had never touched any cultivation manuals before.

But... the moment I touched that "Lotus Separation Technique" book, I had a feeling that was almost like, "This is it? This is it?"

That's why she had the confidence to accept Ming Zhongle's bet.

Thinking about it, it doesn't seem so strange.

Unlike Ming Zhongqing's near-perfect comprehension.

With the help of the modifier, my comprehension is now at its maximum value.

Not only that.

Ming Zhongqing's swordsmanship aptitude was only about thirty points, barely reaching the threshold of the "Lotus Separation Technique".

As for myself... my swordsmanship aptitude is so high that you can't find another person with a 999-point upper limit in the entire Divine Continent.

In terms of understanding swordsmanship, I have no reason to lose.

Almost the instant he closed his eyes, Shi Yan was already immersed in a state of profound understanding and enlightenment.

Embrace the unity of mind and body.

Embrace the spirit with stillness, and never stray from the Way.

The profound and mysterious rules of swordsmanship became gentle and approachable in front of Shi Yan.

Inside the side room, Ming Zhongqing opened his eyes.

She stared blankly at Shi Yan in front of her, then pulled her hand away from his.

"Little sister!?" Noticing Ming Zhongqing's actions, Ming Zhongle panicked. "What do you mean by this?"

"Do you want to let that teacher speak?"

The competition has only just begun, why did my little sister pull her hand away?

Even if you're going to release water, you shouldn't do it like this.

“No… I have already lost.” Ming Zhongqing lowered his head.

"What a joke!?" Ming Zhongle's voice suddenly rose, not caring whether he would disturb his master's meditation.

He'd love to have that.

If Shi Yan is disturbed and becomes restless, his mind will be possessed by demons. Ming Zhongle, on the other hand, can happily beat drums and set off firecrackers.

"The comprehension has only just begun."

"This is a legendary sword technique; it should take at least seven or eight hours to comprehend it."
