Chapter 1584: Who Is Instructing Whom?

"..."

Shaking his head vigorously, the boy was completely stunned.

He had seen many geniuses from various races, waves of strong individuals, and even fought against the continent's top experts, confident he was not inferior.

But... advancing in cultivation so quickly, as easily as eating and drinking... he had never seen or even heard of such a thing.

Even Master Kong back then seemed unable to do it so swiftly!

Was he even human?

"Did you... advance because of the spatial techniques I gave you?"

Unable to hold back any longer, he looked over.

Earlier, this guy hadn't broken through; just after he gave him his understanding of space, the moment he got it, without even opening it, he surged to the peak of Saint Domain Ninth Level. Could it be that he was truly inspired by something and advanced so quickly?

But... these books were written by him personally; he knew them thoroughly. There was nothing in them that could make someone progress so rapidly, right?

"Oh, these don't look bad, but they have too many flaws, quite headache-inducing. Learning directly from them would definitely be problematic!" Zhang Xuan nodded.

"Too many flaws? Headache-inducing?"

Feeling his hair stand on end, the boy nearly exploded.

In the battle with the Luo family, he was not inferior at all; with a flick of his finger, he compressed space and traversed millions of miles... From any perspective, it was clear that his understanding of space was no weaker than any strong member of the Luo family, perhaps even stronger.

Yet his own writings were said to have too many flaws... and with such contempt!

Contempt your sister!

"What kind of flaws cause you such a headache? Could you elaborate?"

Unable to contain himself any longer, the boy gritted his teeth.

If not for the young lady being present, he would have already slapped this arrogant fellow to death.

"I'll tell you, no harm done!"

Zhang Xuan nodded: "Your book says that the more stable space is, the harder it is to break. In stable space, only by finding wormholes can one jump; otherwise, collapse occurs and it's hard to recover."

"Correct!"

The boy nodded: "Folded space has poor stability; if too much force is used within it, it collapses. The continent's space is much more stable, making it difficult to break open. What's wrong with that?"

This understanding of space had been passed down from predecessors millions of years ago. Could it also be flawed?

"You're wrong. Space is actually flowing, not stable," Zhang Xuan said.

"Flowing?" The boy was startled, then laughed: "How is that possible? We live within space; if it were truly flowing, wouldn't we know?"

"Do fish in a river know that the river flows?" Zhang Xuan looked at him.

"This..."

The boy was dumbfounded.

If the river is wide enough and deep enough, the fish and shrimp living in it indeed do not know that the water is flowing.

It was like... he had once been to a planet floating in the void; from afar, it appeared to be spinning constantly, but once on the ground, he couldn't sense it at all.

"Space flows, so wormholes also move along with it. If you find the traces of this flow, like the grain in wood, moving along the grain will cause no problems in space, let alone collapse. In other words, moving along the flow of space is like fish in a river; you've never heard of a river flowing backward because fish swim too fast, have you?"

Zhang Xuan nodded.

In fact, this was not his theory but the soul-shuttle technique he learned from Lu Chong.

Souls can shuttle over short distances at will; if they relied on finding wormholes, it would certainly be impossible. Teleporting through space would cause disturbances, yet it could be done silently, arriving before the attacked person without them noticing.

"This... this..." The boy's body stiffened.

With his strength, he could naturally tell that everything the young man said was correct, but... it completely overturned what he had learned before.

"The profession with the strongest control over space should be... but I've read many books of that profession, and all the theories are the same as mine. I've never heard of... your kind."

The boy couldn't help saying.

"The profession with the strongest control over space... should be soul shamans! Souls are made of意念, making it easier to leverage space. Do you have books of that profession?"

Zhang Xuan frowned.

As far as he knew, the strongest in controlling space were soul shamans.

That was why Lu Chong could achieve spatial shuttling that even Zheng Yang couldn't!

However, back then, soul shamans sided with the alien race and were wiped out by the Master Teacher Pavilion... their inheritance was completely cut off. Lu Chong only obtained the inheritance after reaching that secret ancestral land, thereby greatly increasing his cultivation... Where could this fellow see books of that profession?

Could it be... that the Hundred Schools of Thought's inheritance came from Master Kong, and perhaps they had such books because they hadn't experienced the war back then?

"Uh..."

Shaking his head, the boy did not answer Zhang Xuan's question but looked at him sincerely: "Are there other issues? Could you kindly point them out?"

If earlier he thought the other was talking nonsense, after this exchange, he knew that in terms of space, the other understood it more deeply than he did.

"In these few books of yours, there are thirteen more flaws..." Seeing his sincerity, Zhang Xuan nodded.

"..." Luo Ruoxin.

Her intention was to have the boy Wu Chen guide this beloved of hers, to help him break through and reach a higher level. How... had it turned into him instructing the boy?

Most importantly... Wu Chen looked utterly sincere, as if he had gained a lot...

Who exactly was instructing whom!

"Stop teaching, someone's coming..."

Just as Zhang Xuan was about to specify the thirteen flaws, Luo Ruoxin's voice came through.

Both were startled and stopped.

Earlier, when they stopped, they had used special methods to conceal their forms and seal off the space, so even though they had been talking, the outside world couldn't detect them.

Zhang Xuan looked ahead and saw that in the previously empty mountain range, several figures in long robes had appeared at some point.

These robes were indeed somewhat similar to master teacher robes, but made of black fabric, giving a gloomy and eerie feeling.

His Eye of Insight squirmed as he observed carefully.

There were four of them, all not old, appearing to be around thirty years old.

"Could these be the alien race members who abducted Zhao Ya and the others?"

His brows rose.

Those capable of such acts were either the Hundred Schools of Thought or the alien race. Luo Ruoxin had said she was not of the alien race, so these must be the latter!

Clenching his fist, taking a deep breath, Zhang Xuan extended his finger, ready to press the droplet in his palm at any moment. He turned to the girl nearby: "Make a move?"

"Not yet!" Luo Ruoxin shook her head: "We're not familiar with this ruin. Let them enter first, then we'll decide."

"Alright!" Zhang Xuan nodded.
