"So you were secretly learning the Law of Energy Purification?!" Xia Laoshi anxiously asked, flabbergasted. "What level is your cultivation?"

After some thought, Xia Fei replied, "I've already cultivated the Law of Energy Purification up to level 3. This means that I can produce grade 3 Origin Crystals, but grade 3 Origin Crystals can hold too little energy and I do not lack that grade of stone, so while I'm at level 3, I've never actually applied those skills."

After saying all this, Xia Fei suddenly realized that Xia Laoshi's mouth had hung agape and his eyes were almost bulging out! He was panting for breath! Clearly, he was in a state of shock!

"Say that again?!" Xia Laoshi suddenly jumped up and urgently asked, his old face turning red.

"I said that I've cultivated up to level 3 in the Law of Energy Purification." Xia Fei repeated himself.

Xia Laoshi was utterly speechless!

Was the Law of Energy Purification difficult? Of course, it was! Extremely difficult!

There were three main reasons few people cultivated this law: First, it was too difficult. Second, it required incredible talent. Third, besides talent, it required personal instruction; the guidance of a high-ranking energy master. Only then could a talented student step onto the proper path.

Even extremely talented students needed a high-ranking energy master to cleanse their energy channels, using law force to painstakingly comb through their body. Also, during cultivation, the energy master needed to stay at their side and assist them in completing the law pattern.

In short, when a high-ranking energy master took a disciple, they would need to stay at their disciple's side and consume large amounts of time and energy to guide them onto the path of energy mastery.

However, Xia Fei had succeeded without a teacher!

It must be understood that even with the guidance of an energy master, a student of average talent would need three years to reach level 1 of the Law of Energy Purification, and a highly talented student would need around a year.

Xia Fei had silently self-studied his way to level 3 of the Law of Energy Purification, and all the time he had used was undoubtedly the time he had had left from cultivation. Saying that this efficiency was shocking was not enough; Xia Laoshi felt like Xia Fei was a legend, a monster even!

After a long period of shock, Xia Laoshi suddenly put a hand on Xia Fei's shoulder and sternly asked, "Tell me the truth: Are you really a human?"

...

At the end of the day, Xia Laoshi was still a very experienced teacher of the Skywing Clan. He had guided many outstanding students, including Patriarch Xia Buyun, before.

After suppressing his shock, he began to comb through Xia Fei's body patiently. He confirmed that Xia Fei really was a level 3 energy master and that his cultivation process had not damaged his body in any way. Only then did he get to work.

"Since you've already cultivated Law of Energy Purification up to level 3, we might as well raise that level before I teach you how to convert crystals. Once you learn everything, you'll have plenty of time to study artificing."

Xia Laoshi was inwardly rather depressed. He had never accepted a disciple before, but the moment he did, the disciple turned out to be a monster. Without being taught anything, Xia Fei was already at level 3. This was just too absurd! When he thought about his own climb from level 1 to level 3, Xia Laoshi's face turned red in embarrassment! It had taken him five whole years!

However, going from level 3 to level 4 was not just a one level difference; it was what distinguished a primary energy master from an intermediate energy master. No matter how talented Xia Fei was, he could not cross this gap in a single leap. Xia Laoshi was so formidable because he was a master of two fields! Besides energy, he was a proficient artificer, and the overlapping of these two had made him irreplaceable in the clan.

Xia Fei might have been very talented in energy control, but he had never done artificing, so he probably would not soar upward like a rocket as he had with the Law of Energy Purification. This thought made Xia Laoshi feel somewhat better.

"I will cultivate as you direct," Xia Fei sincerely said.

Xia Laoshi nodded. He took out the fourth pattern for the Law of Energy Purification and placed it on the ground. The Law of Energy Purification was a minor law and was composed of nine different patterns. The higher the level, the more complicated the pattern, and the more difficult it was to cultivate.

This was the same as the Law of Primal Chaos and the Law of Speed. Meanwhile, Great Laws like the Law of Space and the Law of Matter were different. There was one pattern for every stage that needed to be formed nine times in the brain region to reach the next level.

From a certain perspective, it was not that Great Laws were guaranteed to be powerful. A law was like a stage, and only with a large stage could the actors of the Law of Primal Chaos and the Law of Speed come up and display their skills.

The size of the stage was dependent on the openness of the seventh brain region. If the Great Law was the stage, then the brain region was like the room. A large room was required to set up a large stage, and the larger the stage, the more dazzling the performance.

Ordinary law warriors who could reach eighty percent openness of the seventh brain region were considered incredible geniuses, while Xia Fei's seventh brain region was one hundred percent open. This was no longer a simple room but an enormous opera house, instead! Be it the Law of Speed, Law of Primal Chaos, Law of Energy Purification, or Law of Artificing, Xia Fei could have them all act on the stage, act out to their heart's content!

Xia Laoshi placed his fingers on Xia Fei's temples and sternly said, "You were able to reach level 3 of the Law of Energy Purification on your own, and that's very impressive, but my method will let you cultivate even faster!

"I will now do everything I can to help you reach level 4 of the Law of Energy Purification! Don't be too alarmed," Xia Laoshi confidently said.

Xia Fei nodded. His brain region began to form the pattern for the Law of Energy Purification. At the same time, Xia Laoshi acted in unison with Xia Fei. When Xia Fei formed patterns in his brain region, Xia Laoshi would do the same, and his speed would be just a little faster than Xia Fei's so that they kept close to each other.

This was like being pulled along by a tractor. There was an old saying: 'To run as fast as a train, just let the train engine pull you along.' Xia Laoshi was undoubtedly that engine! He guided those threads of energy in Xia Fei's brain region to form into those complicated and mysterious patterns rapidly!

Xia Fei was startled! When cultivating in the past, he normally had to focus all of his energy, but this time, an invisible pair of hands was pushing him along! Whenever he made the slightest mistake, those hands would pull him back onto the right path!

'No wonder the guidance of an energy master is so important. With someone assisting, cultivation becomes this easy?!' Xia Fei remarked to himself.

Xia Laoshi's boosting and guidance made cultivation much easier for Xia Fei, just like fitting two engines into a car! Xia Laoshi removed much of the burden that he encountered!

*Whoosh!*

Three patterns formed in the blink of an eye, and Xia Fei began to challenge level 4 of the Law of Energy Purification!

The instant that pattern began to form, Xia Fei felt the pressure soar. After all, he was only at level 3 before this, and level 4 was a completely new experience to Xia Fei!

As going from level 3 to level 4 meant moving from primary to intermediate, the cultivation was difficult. Sweat began to appear on the tip of Xia Laoshi's nose, and he appeared even more tired than Xia Fei.

What Xia Fei had worried about did not happen. His seventh brain region contained the mysterious Law of Primal Chaos and that rainbow ball of energy that he himself did not know much about. These were Xia Fei's secrets. If Xia Laoshi had forcefully attacked Xia Fei's brain region to inspect it, he would have exposed these secrets.

Xia Fei's brain region was more expansive than most, so he had sealed off part of his brain region and used an empty area to cultivate the Law of Energy Purification.

Although Xia Laoshi was astonished at the density of energy in Xia Fei's brain region and was curious about why Xia Fei had sealed off part of his brain region, he trusted Xia Fei and did not ask any question, nor did he try to unseal that region.

Secrets were secrets because they could not be known by other people. Not even Avril knew about these things, and Xia Fei certainly was not going to let Xia Laoshi know. He had made up his mind. It was naturally great for someone to help him cultivate the Law of Energy Purification, but this person needed to have absolute trust in him. After all, exposing the most important part of a warrior, the seventh brain region, to someone else was far too risky.

While Xia Laoshi was tired, he was also very excited. As the veins on his head pulsed, that pattern in Xia Fei's brain was one-third away from completion! This was level 4, and this was Xia Fei's very first attempt!

One-third completion at only his first try, Xia Laoshi was speechless! This was a heaven-defying advancement speed! Moreover, Xia Fei seemingly had no intention of giving up, the energy threads continuing swiftly to construct the pattern!

Halfway through level 4, Xia Laoshi finally released his hands and heavily panted for breath. His body did not allow him to go on any further.

Xia Fei frowned. Xia Laoshi's sudden withdrawal had made things more difficult for him. Before, he had been rapidly advancing with two engines, but now that one engine was gone, Xia Fei had to take on all the pressure.

Gritting his teeth, Xia Fei decided to keep going. He would not stop until he reached his own limit!

Xia Laoshi's eyes widened as the minutes continued to pass. Xia Fei was still cultivating?! He could last this long without his assistance?! Such astonishing persistence!

Xia Fei's face gradually turned grim, and sweat soon drenched his forehead. It was clear that he was enduring immense pain while cultivating, but this did not stop Xia Fei. Persistence was all about completing missions impossible to complete, using resolve that ordinary people could not comprehend to hold on!

Pursing his lips, Xia Laoshi muttered, 'No wonder Xia Fei could accomplish so much on his own. This sort of tenacity truly puts others to shame.'

...

Xia Laoshi had already planned everything out. Once he personally instructed Xia Fei and displayed his formidable professional training, Xia Fei was certain to admire him wholeheartedly.

Alas, reality was vastly different from what he imagined, for it was Xia Laoshi who simply could not keep up with Xia Fei's tempo, instead!

Before Xia Fei even started to get tired, Xia Laoshi was already on his last legs, his entire body so weak that he wanted nothing more than to get to bed.

What else was there to say? Xia Laoshi even felt like he was slowing Xia Fei down! This was a master of both energy and artificing—an existence revered by countless people! The psychological disparity was just too great!

Xia Fei's persistence in particular had deeply moved Xia Laoshi. Yes, Xia Fei was extremely talented, one of the rare protean geniuses in the Law Realm, but behind this talent was a tenacity that few people could imagine. Everything had its price, and behind Xia Fei's ability to look down on his peers proudly was double the effort!

"How was it?" Xia Laoshi dropped his eyes and asked. For the sake of his dignity, he could only hold on. After all, he was a master of two fields, and he could not permit Xia Fei to have a low opinion of him!

"Just a little lacking. I'd like to try a few more times," Xia Fei earnestly said.

"A few more times?!" Xia Laoshi suddenly felt like he wanted to cry. All he could think about now was resting! Let alone a few more times, he could not endure even a single attempt!
