Genius?

Ren Ying thought about Yang Chen's intention for a while, before he replied without hiding the truth, "Less than a month."

"Oh, that's kind of short." Yang Chen replied, his hand holding his chin.

After Yang Chen thought about his plan, he shared it with Ren Ying, "Ren Ying, I want you to spend that time here for the time being to practice the Lightning Embrace."

"Though you wouldn't achieve much result with just less than a month, its still better than nothing." Yang Chen said as he looked Ren Ying up and down.

Knowing that this wasn't a request but an order, Ren Ying agreed helplessly, "Okay, I will stay here to practice the Lightning Embrace, senior."

Even if he could get stronger by training here, Ren Ying was still unwilling to stay, since he would have to be accompanied by Yang Chen every moment he spent here.

Who knows what Yang Chen would do to him if given a chance?

So, if he could choose, Ren Ying would disappear away from this room the next second without caring about Yang Chen's face whatsoever.

But since he would be stuck here for the next one month, Ren Ying asked with an expectation, "Senior, do you have an array here?"

"Array? Yes, you got really sharp eyes, don't you?" Yang Chen answered him lightly, while being taken back by Ren Ying capabilities.

Being so curious about the mysterious array, Ren Ying asked yet another question, "What are its us-"

A calm voice surfaced from Yang Chen, interrupting his question, "Don't ask about it; you will see it soon."

Ren Ying could only nod his head without saying anything else, as he focused on healing his injuries.

When Yang Chen saw this, he said while flying away from Ren Ying, "You should be fully recovered first, before practicing the Lightning Embrace."

"Once you're done, just call for me." He reminded Ren Ying with a voice that was constantly getting weaker and quieter as his figure got farther away from him.

When he heard this, Ren Ying closed his eyes fully and focused on guiding the energies from the healing pills to a specific area that needed to be prioritized.

After he spent countless hours on it, with the addition of good-quality pills given to him by Yang Chen.

He finally smiled happily, "Seemed like I get to live another day." While he scanned his current body state.

His upper body was now fully naked, as it got torn away slightly during his battle with the two-star Thunder Bat. Ren Ying decided to tear away all of it to get a better view of the injuries he had suffered.

Only by doing that, could he heal his injuries this fast.

The gigantic claw scars on his chest inflicted on him by Yang Chen's beast pet, had almost fully healed. The ugly big scars now were slowly turning into small scars as the wounds were closing one at a time.

His lower body suffered less than his upper one, it only had a few scars on his calf and legs, which was now fully healed. The signs of injuries and scars were no longer there.

Feeling the long lost energies in his body, almost fully recovered.

Ren Ying called out, "Senior Yang Chen, I think I am ready for the training!"

Just then, a sound of clearing throat appeared behind him.

Startled by the sound, Ren Ying instantly turned around in surprise.

But what came into his view made him speechless. It was Yang Chen's old shameless face, smiling happily in a silly way toward him.

Ren Ying could only click his tongue silently at this old guy's weird hobby.

He almost couldn't stop himself from asking him if his hobby was related to his dropped in wisdom, or was it originally like this.

Seeing an annoying look on Ren Ying's face, Yang Chen didn't care, he cleared his throat and replied to him, "Hmm, let me check your body state first."

He began by checking the outer physique of Ren Ying for any signs of unhealed injuries, then followed by a test of his Qi.

"Your body is currently in a acceptable condition to start training. But for your Qi, I would need you to show me by using one of your techniques."

Ren Ying immediately used his Lightning Trace.

Whoosh.

His figure turned blurry as the sound of thunder echoed throughout the entire room.

And before the sound got scattered away, he emerged from another spot, his feet connected solidly with the ground.

Which showed that his Qi had been recovered perfectly fine.

Ren Ying smiled slightly as he noticed an improvement with his Lightning Trace proficiency.

On the other hand, when Yang Chen confirmed that Ren Ying was now ready to practice his body tempering technique, he said excitedly, "Great, now let's start start your training now."

"Go and sit on the platform, junior." 

"Okay."

Ren Ying walked steadily, aiming for the stone platform just as Yang Chen had instructed.

Upon arrival, he didn't rush on to sit on there, but a grin was slightly formed on his face instead, as he fixed his gaze onto the seat.

He had never thought that his first opportunity would end up like that.

Instead of soaring into the sky directly after his transmigration, Ren Ying unexpectedly found himself in this old man trap instead.

What a joke.

After all the things he went through, like witnessing a cruel scene that could traumatize most people back on his planet, getting his hand tainted with blood, living in the wilderness full of unpredictable danger, along with his efforts to successfully make a campfire.

This hardship didn't give him good rewards but caused him to almost lose his freedom.

Thinking about this, he accidentally let out a low, crazy laugh while his body trembled.

Hearing it, Yang Chen flew in front of him, straight above the stone platform, and gazed calmly into Ren Ying's eye.

Ren Ying also stared back into his eyes nervously as he scolded himself secretly for his lack of emotional control.

The eyes contest didn't last long, as Yang Chen spoke up, "Ren Ying, I know that your excited for encountering such a good opportunity like this."

"But you better get it under your control, as only with a calm mind, could you attend to a higher power in this world."

Ren Ying looked at him confusedly when he heard such unexpected words from Yang Chen.

He thought that Yang Chen had finally seen through him, but luckily he didn't.

"I understand it, senior." He replied quickly, fearing that Yang Chen would notice his abnormal if he delayed it for a little longer.

"Now that you understand it, let's start."

Ren Ying nodded slightly, then stepped his foot up onto the platform and sat in the center of it.

"Okay, so first I need you to understand everything inside the book manual, before we begin." 

"But since you read it once, this time try to understand its context as you go over it."

"I will do as you say, senior."

He picked up the book close to him, from the last spot he had it dropped in a hurry when the two-star Thunder Bat suddenly appeared.

He opened the book slowly and read it just like last time, but this time he had his entire attention on trying to comprehend the entire meaning of it.

Seeing how hard Ren Ying had focused on reading the manual, Yang Chen stood patiently in one spot on the air silently as to not disturb his learning.

...

...

...

Without knowing it, Ren Ying put the book beside him gently as he announced the good news to Yang Chen, "I had understood everything inside the book, senior."

Yang Chen finally broke his silence, he asked in surprise, "Huh, really?" While looking at Ren Ying in disbelief.

"Of course, I would never lie to you, senior." 

"Hmm... let me test you then."

Despite an answer from Ren Ying, he still refused to believe him. So he began to question him about the contents inside the Lightning Embrace one by one.

After ten questions, Yang Chen looked at him as if Ren Ying were a monster; he gasped, "So you really did understand the manual entirely!"

Ren Ying could only smile humbly at his word.

He was aware that his comprehension talent, after devouring the soul of the old owner of his body, had leaped into yet another terrifying height.

So, Ren Ying didn't try to comprehend it with his fastest speed at all, but slowed it down by half of it.

But unexpectedly, it could still shock Yang Chen?

He could only accept it bitterly and stare at Yang Chen, who was laughing excitedly to himself.

"HAHAHAH... unexpectedly, my disciple turned out to be a genius."

Not wanting to see this shameless Yang Chen being too happy, Ren Ying interrupted him, "So, shall we begin our training, senior Yang Chen?"

"Cough, your right, let's begin your real body tempering training." Yang Chen agreed with Ren Ying instantly to cover up his embarrassment, after he realized how childish his behavior was.

"So, remember you asked me about the array, right?"
