“That’s true, Shadow Stream’s techniques are never passed on to outsiders.
However, after being passed down for so many generations, I still don’t know whether you, Master Gui, have inherited the essence of Shadow Stream.
I want to take a closer look to see if the Ghost Master still has the skills I need."
Yang Yu spoke each word with great emphasis, making his words impossible to refuse.
“The Shadow Stream has been passed down for so many generations, and every leader has many requirements for his successor.
One of them is that if the successor does not learn all the skills of the sect, there is no way for him to inherit the position of the head.
The previous leader was like this, and so am I.
I guarantee that I have not missed a single skill. Whichever move you want to see, I will show you right now.
If you feel satisfied and want to learn, then come and become my disciple, and I will teach you everything I have learned in my life."
The smile on his face suddenly had a hint of depth, and Yang Yu replied:
"The skill I want to see is called [Shadow Fraud]. Thank you, Master Gui."
Without any hesitation, Gui Shuo took a step to the right, took a horse stance, and set up a formation on the spot. He clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and a surge of magic power surged from his body, forming a black shadow behind him.
The black shadow then turned into a black silk thread and wrapped around Gui Shuo's arm, making his arm completely black.
“This is the skill you want to look at, [Shadow Deception].
As you can see, this is a status-oriented skill.
Perhaps, you have investigated beforehand and found that this skill is not affected by your own strength.
The amount of damage dealt depends on how much power your opponent has.
It is very effective against enemies who are much stronger than you."
Introducing [Shadow Fraud] endlessly, Gui said that there was a hint of eagerness in his eyes when he looked at Yang Yu.
"However, if you want to learn this skill, you must first learn to control the power of shadow. To control the power of shadow, you must have a dedicated person to guide you and practice day after day for a long time."
Yang Yu responded to Gui Shuo's eager gaze with a faint smile. He had a large number of skill points, and those skill points were specifically used to learn skills.
When Yang Yu first registered as an adventurer, he completely understood how to use skill points.
To successfully learn a skill using skill points, two conditions must be met.
First, you must watch the use of the skill in its entirety;
Second, the person using the skill has the desire to teach him the skill.
Only when these two points are achieved at the same time can skills be learned through skill points.
At present, Yang Yu has watched [Shadow Fraud] in its entirety and has met the first condition. All that is left is for the ghost to say that he intends to teach him the skill.
"As expected, it is a very good skill. However, it looks like it is quite difficult to learn, and the name of the shadow power doesn't sound like something that is so easy to control."
Upon hearing what Yang Yu said, Gui Shuo immediately dismissed the shadows wrapped around his hands. With a loud shout, two shadows separated from his body and turned into substantial entities, following his movements.
“It’s not hard to learn at all, it’s pretty simple, and it’s a pretty fun ability.
As you can see, as long as you have enough magic power, you can create any number of phantoms that follow your movements. One person can be an army of thousands.
As long as you join the Shadow Stream, you can enjoy the pleasure of winning with fewer people.
By mastering the power of shadow, you can develop more different postures and play however you want."
Fearing that Yang Yu would lose interest in Shadow Stream, Gui said he tried every possible way to show the fun of Shadow Stream.
However, Yang Yu just pretended to be in deep thought, and seemed to be uninterested in anything except that skill.
"It's really too difficult. Just mastering the power of shadow takes a lot of time, and learning [Shadow Fraud] is even more difficult. Isn't there some simple method?"
"It's not that there aren't any. But they are all secrets. Once you join, I will naturally provide you with shortcuts."
"Words are not enough. Can you prove that you really want to teach me?"
Seeing Yang Yu showing a disgusted expression, the ghost said anxiously,
"Of course I am willing to teach you. To be honest, I haven't seen a martial arts genius like you in a long time.
If you were born in an era when ancient martial arts were flourishing, you would definitely be the object of competition among all schools.
Now that you have shown a keen interest in Shadow Stream, I cannot express my happiness enough.
As long as you are willing to join my sect, I will do my best to teach you everything I have learned throughout my life, without missing a single thing. "
As soon as he finished speaking, a new message popped up on Yang Yu's system panel.
[You can learn [Power of Shadow]. Do you want to spend 50 skill points to learn it? ]
[You can learn [Shadow Fraud]. Do you want to spend 120 skill points to learn it? ]
Done.
Yang Yu was secretly delighted and clicked on [Shadow Fraud], but found that [Shadow Fraud] required the prerequisite skill [Power of Shadow] to learn, and could not be learned for free.
Therefore, Yang Yu reluctantly took out 50 skill points and learned the [Power of Shadow].
After learning, it is natural to cross the river and burn the bridge.
Yang Yu was silent for a moment, then his tone changed, filled with grief and anger.
“You keep saying that I’m a martial arts genius, but I don’t think I am a martial arts genius.
On the contrary, I felt that I was quite clumsy and could not learn many things. I was also powerless to fight back against strong opponents. It was not easy for me to see the skills that could defeat strong opponents.
But I didn’t expect that the ghost said that the adult kept hitting my sore spot.
I guess, Master Guishuo also thinks that there is no way I can learn the skills you demonstrated!
That's why he wanted to use this method to mock me and imply that no matter what I did, I would not be able to learn martial arts.
Yes, everything I did was in vain.
Maybe I shouldn’t be here.”
With tears in his eyes, Yang Yu turned and left.
The ghost said with a confused look on his face.
How could I have meant to be sarcastic in what I said just now? It turned out that I was bragging too much and was discovered.
In order to prevent the heir he had finally found from flying away, Gui Shuo quickly explained: "That's not what I meant. I didn't mean to mock you at all. I really think you can learn all my skills."
"That's enough. I don't want to hear your explanation anymore. Your poor comfort will only add to my sadness."
Yang Yu stretched out his fingers and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
“Before I met Mr. Guishuo, I always thought that he would be realistic, see my shortcomings, and do his best to help me.
It seems that I misjudged you.
If you learn [Shadow Fraud], it will really be as easy as drinking water, just as Mr. Guishuo said.
Mr. Gui said that he had already spread Shadow Stream to the whole world, making it simple enough for me to learn, instead of hiding it in this corner. "
