Chapter 80: Heavenly Dao of Shadow

Heavenly Dao of Shadow.

It had possessed various marvelous abilities such as mind-corrosion, soul-searching, and invisibility.

And this moment had been the best time for comprehension.

Therefore, Wang Xiaofei hadn’t had time to think much; he had focused all his energy on consolidating Heavenly Dao of Thunder and Lightning and comprehending the Heavenly Dao of Shadow.

Time had passed.

Five days later, Wang Xiaofei had emerged from his seclusion.

In the court.

Orchids had been in full bloom, emitting an enticing fragrance.

Elder Lei Shan had been sitting there, looking at the refreshed Wang Xiaofei across from him, feeling both excited and somewhat sentimental.

In the past few days, he had been the most glorious elder in the entire Tianlong Academy.

Three disciples, two of whom had won first place in the Martial Palace battle, and another had secured third place. This had made other elders extremely envious. Elder Lei Shan had been quite proud.

However, in the blink of an eye, the third disciple he had just taken in had already broken through to the Martial Spirit Realm.

To enter the inner court of Tianlong Academy and become an inner court disciple, his place had suddenly become empty, making him feel somewhat lost.

“Did you break through? Did you comprehend your second Heavenly dao?” Elder Lei Shan had asked with concern.

Second Heavenly dao.

Not all practitioners who had broken through to the Martial Spirit Realm could comprehend it.

Less than ten percent of practitioners could comprehend the second Heavenly dao. Moreover, in a practitioner’s lifetime of cultivation, there was only this one opportunity.

Therefore, Elder Lei Shan had been very concerned.

“Yes, I’ve comprehended it,” Wang Xiaofei had nodded.

“Oh? Can you share?” Upon hearing Wang Xiaofei say he had comprehended a second Heavenly dao, a trace of ecstasy had instantly appeared on Elder Lei Shan’s face. He had been happy for Wang Xiaofei.

However, he had also known that this second Heavenly dao often served as a supplementary means, not easily detected, and was a practitioner’s trump card. Therefore, most practitioners chose to keep their second Heavenly dao a secret.

So, Elder Lei Shan had just asked tentatively.

“About that, I’d like to keep it a secret,” Wang Xiaofei had said, somewhat apologetically.

Yulong Continent had been too dangerous. After leaving Qingshan Town, Wang Xiaofei had decided not to leak a single piece of information about his hometown. Moreover, the more techniques he had, the better, and the more concealed, the better.

Wang Xiaofei had trusted Elder Lei Shan.

But what if he offended some powerful person in the future, and that person could control Elder Lei Shan, or even search his soul to forcibly obtain his information?

Therefore, unless necessary, Wang Xiaofei had wanted to keep some secrets in his heart. He wouldn’t tell anyone.

From another perspective, this had also been to protect his loved ones.

This had reminded Wang Xiaofei of scenes from his previous life.

A cold-blooded assassin had blown away the gun smoke from the barrel and coldly said while looking at the dead body lying in a pool of blood in the distance: “You know too much.”

“Hehe, what’s there to be embarrassed about? These are life-saving techniques; the more concealed, the better,” Elder Lei Shan had said, laughing generously. He had been very understanding of Wang Xiaofei’s choice.

“Alright, since you’ve broken through and reached the Martial Spirit Realm, I’ll report it to the academy,” Elder Lei Shan had said as he took out a Voice Transmission Stone.

A sweep of soul power.

Messages had been sent out.

In fact, when a practitioner’s cultivation had broken through to the Martial Spirit Realm, they naturally gained the ability to communicate through soul power.

However, the range for such communication had been quite limited.

Therefore, for long-distance communication like this, a Voice Transmission Stone had been necessary.

A moment later.

A voice message had been sent back from the academy’s higher-ups. After scanning the message with his soul power, Elder Lei Shan had looked at Wang Xiaofei with a somewhat peculiar expression. There had even been a hint of ‘envy,’ but of course, he had mostly been happy for Wang Xiaofei.

“Alright, young man, come with me,” Elder Lei Shan had quickly composed himself and left his small court with Wang Xiaofei.

“Xiaofei, do you know about the ‘mentor’?” Elder Lei Shan had suddenly asked.

“Mentor?” Wang Xiaofei had been slightly startled, then nodded.

He had known about the mentor. A while ago, Jin Chan’s Mentor had been a powerful Nine-Star Martial Spirit Realm elder. At that time, he had boasted about it for quite a while.

A mentor was similar to a master but not quite the same; the relationship was weaker than that between a master and a disciple.

Tianlong Academy had been vast.

There had been thousands of disciples, but fewer than a hundred practitioners qualified to be masters, all above the Five-Star Martial Spirit Realm.

Therefore, not all disciples at Tianlong Academy had had their own masters.

Most ordinary disciples had gone to the square in front of the Martial Palace at set times. There, Martial Spirit Realm experts who had mastered different Heavenly daos had lectured, and all the disciples had listened and learned together.

Many disciples had become Martial Spirit Realm practitioners but still hadn’t had a master.

However, that’s when a mentor comes in. The mentor would provide some guidance to those who had just stepped into the Martial Spirit Realm, but certainly not as attentively as a master. And usually, those who took on the role of a mentor had been Five-Star or Six-Star Martial Spirits.

That’s why Jin Chan had been so smug.

“Could it be that my mentor has already been decided?” Wang Xiaofei had asked.

“Yes, it’s been decided, but whether or not you agree is up to you,” Elder Lei Shan had said, without revealing any emotion.

“Oh,” Wang Xiaofei had neither agreed nor disagreed.

After all, he had felt that Elder Lei Shan had already been good enough. A mentor might have just been a formality.

The two had hurried along and soon arrived at the Martial Palace located in the center of Tianlong Academy.

It had been a five-story wooden building. In the middle, a large plaque had hung, and on it were two golden characters: Martial Palace.

Staring at these two characters, if Wang Xiaofei had looked for a bit longer, he would have felt as if he were being scorched.

Clearly, the strong individual who had written these characters had integrated the Heavenly dao he had comprehended into them.

Below the Martial Palace, guards had been stationed.

However, these guards must have already received instructions. When they had seen Elder Lei Shan and Wang Xiaofei, they had simply waved them through.

Martial Palace.

Third floor.

Dean Gu Tong had been sitting in a chair, smiling as he looked at Wang Xiaofei across from him.

This had been that monstrously talented young man. He had been the future of Tianlong Academy and must be cultivated well.

“Wang Xiaofei, would you like me to be your mentor?” Gu Tong had slowly asked.

“This…” Wang Xiaofei’s eyes had widened in complete surprise.

Dean Gu Tong himself as his mentor?

He had been a Nine-Star Martial Spirit Realm peak cultivator who had practiced Heavenly Dao of Thunder and Lightning. Strictly speaking, his strength could even be comparable to a One-Star Martial King. He is definitely one of the most powerful beings in Yaori City.

Wang Xiaofei had never heard of Dean Gu Tong being anyone’s mentor before.

Happiness had come so suddenly.

It had caught Wang Xiaofei off guard.

“Smack.” Elder Lei Shan had lightly slapped Wang Xiaofei on the back of his head from behind.

“Stinky kid, hurry up and thank Dean Gu Tong.”

“Hehe, for Master to become the mentor for a disciple like me, it’s his honor,” Elder Lei Shan had chuckled. At that moment, he had looked very much like Jin Chan.

Wang Xiaofei hadn’t expected his master to have this side.

“Dean Gu Tong, it’s my honor for you to be my mentor!” Wang Xiaofei had said respectfully.

“Hehe,” Dean Gu Tong had leaned back in his chair and chuckled twice, in a good mood.

“Since I’m going to be your mentor, I should give you some gifts. What should I give?” Dean Gu Tong had mused to himself.
