Moments later, she withdrew her hand, her beautiful eyes full of disbelief.
"It's true… Ye Chen, how did you do it? Just a month ago, you weren't even at the Fighter realm.
Yet now, in only one month, you've not only broken through that stage but also reached Nine-Star Fighter! This… this is impossible!"
She stared at him, her heart full of questions. She knew Ye Chen's talent was outstanding, but this speed was far beyond what even a monstrous genius could achieve.
Her expression grew serious. "Ye Chen, tell me the truth. How did this happen? You didn't use some evil method that might harm your foundation, did you?"
Ye Chen laughed lightly. He could see her concern clearly. "Don't worry, Teacher. I didn't use anything evil."
Then he leaned closer, lowering his voice mysteriously by her ear. "Teacher… do you want a Heaven-Rank Technique?"
Yun Yun froze in shock at his words.
"W-what did you just say?"
Yun Yun's voice trembled slightly. She thought she had misheard her disciple's words.
Ye Chen, however, calmly repeated himself, his lips curling with confidence.
"Teacher, you didn't hear wrong. I said… I have a Heaven-Rank Technique. Do you want it?"
For a moment, the great hall fell silent.
Yun Yun's eyes widened, then narrowed in disbelief. Her beautiful face showed shock, then suspicion.
"Ye Chen, don't joke with me. How could you possibly have a Heaven-Rank Technique?"
Her tone carried both doubt and anger. Heaven-Rank Techniques were legendary.
Even within the mighty Jia Ma Empire, such things only existed in rumors.
Even she, the Sect Master of Yunlan Sect and a powerful Dou Huang, had never laid eyes on one.
Could her young disciple really be holding such a priceless treasure?
"Are you trying to deceive even your teacher now?" Yun Yun's delicate brows furrowed.
Ye Chen, however, didn't back down. "Teacher, how would I dare deceive you? Look for yourself."
He released his aura fully. Instantly, the powerful pressure of a Nine-Star Fighter burst forth. The hall trembled faintly as Dou Qi surged in waves.
Yun Yun's breath caught in her throat.
In just one month, Ye Chen had leaped from the Fighter realm to Nine-Star Fighter. His Dou Qi wasn't unstable it was rich and solid, without a hint of falsehood.
How is this possible?
Her heart shook violently. She had thought perhaps he had taken shortcuts, used some sinister method. But sensing the purity of his energy… that didn't seem to be the case.
Could it be true? Did he really obtain some legendary Heaven-Rank Technique?
Her gaze turned sharp again. "Ye Chen, where did you get this technique?"
Ye Chen scratched his head, already preparing the excuse he had thought up earlier.
"
Last time, when I went walking in the back mountain, I accidentally fell into a hidden cave. Inside… I found an ancient inheritance, and from it, I gained this Heaven-Rank Technique."
He spoke casually, but inside he was laughing bitterly. I can't exactly tell her some white-haired old man in a ring gave it to me. That's way too cliché.
"Back mountain?" Yun Yun's expression darkened. She had walked the back mountain countless times over the years.
How could there be a Heaven-Rank inheritance hidden there without her knowledge?
"Take me there," she demanded, her tone sharp.
Ye Chen coughed awkwardly. "Uh… well, I was lost at the time. I don't really remember the exact place anymore."
"Lost? In the back mountain?" Yun Yun's voice was cold, disbelief written all over her face. "It's not that big. You expect me to believe you got lost?"
Ye Chen gave an embarrassed laugh, clearly trying to dodge further questioning.
"
Teacher, don't ask so many details. Just answer me this....do you want to cultivate this Heaven-Rank Technique or not? I know you've been stuck at the three-star Dou Huang realm for a long time. Maybe this technique could help you break through."
His words dripped with temptation. Ye Chen knew that even someone as calm as Yun Yun couldn't resist the allure of a Heaven-Rank Technique.
But Yun Yun shook her head slowly. "Even if you did obtain such a technique, I can't cultivate it. Your attribute is lightning.
Mine is wind. How could I use a lightning-based Heaven-Rank Technique?"
Ye Chen's lips curled into a mysterious smile. "That's the thing, Teacher. The technique I obtained is special. It isn't limited by attribute. Anyone can cultivate it."
For a brief second, his mind flashed with memories of dual cultivating the Dragon-Phoenix Art with Ya Fei and Xiao Xun'er. His mouth almost twitched into a smirk at the thought of how "special" the technique truly was.
"Any attribute can cultivate it?" Yun Yun's beautiful brows knitted. She found it hard to believe. "There's no such thing in this world. You… you're not tricking me into practicing some kind of demonic technique, are you?"
She studied his face carefully, noticing that mischievous grin tugging at his lips.
Her heart clenched. This boy… something is wrong.
His eyes toward me have changed. He used to look at me with pure respect and admiration. But now… now there's something else in his gaze.
Her expression hardened. "Show me the technique. Let me judge it myself."
Ye Chen froze. For the first time, nervousness flickered in his eyes. His heart thumped faster.
He had hoped to slowly lure Yun Yun into willingly trying the cultivation method. But now, faced with her sharp insistence, he realized he had no choice.
"Teacher, you must promise me first," Ye Chen said quickly. "If I show you the scroll, you can't punish me for it."
Yun Yun's expression darkened. His hesitation only made her more certain that he was hiding something dangerous.
So it really is some kind of forbidden method…
Her disappointment pierced her heart. She had raised this boy, watched him grow, cherished him like her own son. Could he really have been led astray?
But when she looked at his uneasy face, she softened slightly.
"Ye Chen," she said in a low voice, "as long as you tell the truth, I will not punish you. People make mistakes.
If you admit them, they can be corrected. I'll give you that chance."
