Most ordinary teenagers at the age of fifteen or sixteen are still following the routine of going to school, unclear about many things, and drifting along aimlessly.

But Hongze is tenacious, having his own ideas since childhood, and once he sets a goal, he continually strives toward it, so he possesses such cultivation at this age.

If he did not have high emotional intelligence, he would not have gained the favor of many teachers, who invested energy in him, along with some resources in terms of Dharma companions, cultivation sites, and wealth; as a child from an ordinary family, he reached the limit of what this tier could achieve.

To advance further, he needs to enter Federation University and strive to find a good mentor, but now he meets Wang Xuan, knowing he is a formidable powerhouse, Hongze is naturally willing to apprentice himself to him.

His decisiveness in apprenticeship left everyone a bit bewildered, as Wang Xuan merely mentioned he qualified to become a disciple of the Martial Arts Hall, without saying he would accept him as his own disciple.

Wang Xuan slightly raised his eyebrow, instead of correcting Hongze's mistake, walked forward and scanned inch by inch with his Divine Thought across Hongze's flesh and blood.

His cultivation root bones were beyond question, his affinity with Heaven and Earth Essence Qi was exceptionally high, and his physique was strong, having laid a solid foundation at this young age.

"Are you certain you want to become my disciple?" Wang Xuan asked gravely.

Hongze nodded emphatically, "Absolutely genuine!"

"Good, I shall teach you a Fist Technique. Let's see what level you can reach within a day; if I'm satisfied, I will accept you as my disciple."

Wang Xuan considers Hongze a talent, possessing great fortune; though he may encounter difficulties in the future, his accomplishments will likely be extraordinary. Accepting him as a disciple isn't a bad thing.

Based on the True Intent of Martial Arts of the Divine Elephant Golden Bell Shield, within a few breaths, Wang Xuan crafted a Peak of Mortal Tier Fist Technique, difficult even at the Body Refining level.

Transmitting an idea to Hongze, Wang Xuan said, "If you can simulate the Divine Elephant with Inner Strength, resulting in Giant Power added with a single punch, you pass."

To reach this level, one must comprehend the Mental Realm of this Fist Technique, and Hongze has only one day.

Hongze remained at the Martial Arts Hall to ponder the Fist Technique, while Nv He also began studying there under Qiushui's guidance.

Energetic Qiushui enjoys mentoring, although the same age as Nv He, she acts like a teacher guiding Nv He's cultivation, after all, Qiushui is already at the Blood Exchange Realm.

"Predecessor Qiushui is amazing, you're not much older than me, yet you've reached the Blood Exchange Realm." Nv He admired, but upon knowing Qiushui and Chun Shui were only Wang Xuan's maids, she was even more astounded.

Only then did she understand why Hongze was so eager to become Wang Xuan's disciple—this mysterious figure was indeed immensely powerful.

Meanwhile, Wang Xuan is cultivating on the mountain peak.

"Time Spirit," Wang Xuan called out, the Tower of Space-Time trembled, his Heart Spirit wanting to approach, finding that even with the Primordial Spirit Sword Embryo cultivated to the Peak of Primeridial Spirit Sword, he only slightly sees more clarity than before.

He didn't know what level of cultivation he needed to truly touch the Tower of Space-Time, thinking it must be arduous.

Name: Wang Xuan

Age: twenty-five

Height: 190cm

Realm: Late Divinity Transformation

Cultivation Skills: Mixed Element Martial Scripture Earth Immortal Chapter Second Layer Great Success, Divine Elephant Golden Bell Shield Earth Immortal Chapter Second Layer Great Success, Heart and Spirit Demon Scripture Second Layer Introduction, Nine Breath Qi Cultivation Introduction, Flowers in an Instant Minor Achievement, Primordial Spirit Sword Embryo Fourth Layer Limit, Mind Nourishing Pill Alchemy Technique Perfection...

Source Point: 3,530,000

After a round in the Alchemy Furnace, Wang Xuan's cultivation had a major breakthrough, entering the late Divinity Transformation, enhancing his flesh body and root bones.

Four cultivation techniques and two divine techniques can all accelerate improvements, but considering his Source Power isn't much, Wang Xuan focuses on the Heart and Spirit Demon Scripture.

Previously, when Source Power wasn't abundant, now cultivating the second layer, several tens of thousands of Source Power doesn't trouble him, and the auxiliary effect of the Heart and Spirit Demon Scripture is significant.

Although against cultivators of the same Realm, the Heart-Cutting Demon Scripture isn't as potent as the Primordial Spirit Sword Embryo, and has certain flaws and risks, but against lower tier cultivators, the power of the Heart-Cutting Demon Scripture is formidable.

"Heart and Spirit Demon Scripture Second Layer Introduction (acceleratable), require 30,000 Source Power to accelerate to Limit Realm, proceed?"

"Accelerate," Wang Xuan decreed.

Pure Source Power flowed from the Tower of Space-Time, quickly mastering the Glazed Body and True Demon Body, flesh body able to reveal divine energy and conceal dark energy, transforming to supremely wicked demons resembling ghosts.

Both coexist in his being, easily mimicking other cultivators' aura, disguising as anyone without detection, especially after extensively studying the human body transformations within the Thirty-Six Transformations.

Mental Power governs the body, any changes clearly visible; if cultivated in the Human Immortal Realm, easily impervious to fire and water, achieving bodily transformation and full control of the flesh body.

Will projecting into the air, with Spirit Power enveloping thousands of meters space around Wang Xuan, hundreds of sparrows stiffened, nearly dropping.

With just an impact, these sparrows were hypnotized by him, Mental Power invading their brains, directly confusing, fully controlling their actions.

It's like installing a control chip in their brains, every move under Wang Xuan's direction.

"Fly freely, just like usual," Wang Xuan instructed, hundreds of fist-sized sparrows chirping, immediately soared through the city.

Their vision, hearing, and other perceptions were synced and transmitted to Wang Xuan, momentarily he received hundreds of voices in his mind.

Managing many minds at once, Wang Xuan, strong enough to cultivate the Primordial Spirit, though initially unaccustomed, soon controls easily, connecting the Spirit with increasingly more creatures, until reaching thousands.

These animals became akin to Wang Xuan's avatars, able to operate automatically, only sharing the five senses, or Wang Xuan can fully take over, controlling even which leg they step first.

"These animals serve as my city-monitoring proxies," Wang Xuan smiled slightly.

No one would realize birds in the sky, snakes, and mice on the ground, even household pets become someone else's eyes and ears, carrying Wang Xuan's consciousness, everything seen by him.

He glanced at a rabbit emerging from the mid-mountain, its hypnosis upgraded into Illusion Technique, provoking mental hallucinations, sending a stream of memory impacts.

Within breaths, the rabbit believed Wang Xuan was its leader, necessitating acceptance, enthusiastically hopping over.

With Wang Xuan's Spiritual Power, he can transform the hypnotized individual's mental world, making centuries pass in instants; creatures are beings of memory, memories their database.

Creating some false memories, giving the rabbit many memories of following Wang Xuan's leadership in the past, this was effortless.

The rabbit rolled and played nearby, then suddenly ran off to nibble grass, soon bringing Wang Xuan a tuft of grass, offering it as food to the leader, which is its tribute for protection.
