A quarter of an hour later, Xu Fan waved his hand to control the Rocky Mantis.

Wang Yulun, covered in wounds, stood beside Xu Fan with shame.

The Heaven and Earth transformed again, and the two returned to their original world.

Wang Yulun looked at his body in amazement and said, “Brother Xu, has your Bewitching Technique reached the top level?”

In the world created by Xu Fan, every wound he suffered felt so real. When that world disappeared, the scene just now seemed like a dreamland.

“Let’s not talk about this, let’s talk about your mistakes during the battle.”

Xu Fan waved his hand, and a light curtain appeared, displaying the scene of Wang Yulun’s fight.

“In that battle, your overall output was nearly zero. You were just passively beaten.”

“Here’s a suggestion: if you encounter such a Demonic Beast alone in the future, just run.” Xu Fan said.

“Alright, let’s talk about the first thing you need to improve.”

The screen froze on Wang Yulun’s first Fire Spear Technique.

“Your Technique prediction isn’t much of a problem, and according to the Rocky Mantis’s original speed, it would definitely hit.”

“But this Demonic Beast is also intelligent, so during the battle, you need to keep in mind that one Technique must seal all the enemy’s movements.”

As Xu Fan spoke, the screen began to change. Wang Yulun in the screen slightly adjusted his casting direction, and Wang Yulun, who was watching from the side, was instantly stunned.

“This angle of the Fire Spear Technique.” Wang Yulun’s eyes instantly heated up as he looked at the screen.

“If you adjust the casting angle to this extent, the Rocky Mantis won’t be able to dodge this Fire Spear.” Xu Fan continued.

The scene on the screen continued to play, and Wang Yulun watched carefully, knowing that such learning opportunities were rare.

The screen shifted to Wang Yulun’s fifth Technique, and the picture froze.

“Here, your fighting mentality began to change, and your movements and casting started to become careless.”

“Let’s not talk about that for now. The Demonic Beast clearly avoided your Techniques four times, but you didn’t even observe its movement habits.”

Xu Fan said as he formed a sword with his fingers and pointed them at Wang Yulun’s forehead.

Wang Yulun habitually dodged to the right, only to be pinpointed by Xu Fan’s fingers on his forehead.

Xu Fan withdrew his hand from Wang Yulun’s forehead and pointed his fingers at Wang Yulun’s forehead again in front of him.

Once again, he hit the mark.

“See, everyone has their habits, including movements.”

“When prediction doesn’t work, you can only attack based on the enemy’s movement habits.”

After Xu Fan finished speaking, he waved his hand to remove the light curtain created by the Light and Shadow Technique.

“Brother Xu, is that it? I feel like I have many shortcomings. Keep talking.” Wang Yulun said hastily, as such opportunities were rare.

“It’s not something you’ll learn just by me saying it.”

“That’s all for now. We’ll talk about it once you’ve realized these things.” Xu Fan said indifferently, looking mysterious and proud in his heart.

“You can come here to train if you’re not busy in the future.” Xu Fan continued,

“Thank you, Brother Xu.” Wang Yulun said happily, believing that coming here to learn would be his bright future on the road to A-Class Hall.

After Xu Fan finished speaking, he collapsed back onto the lounge chair.

“Tell me about the Giant Ship.” Xu Fan said with interest.

Wang Yulun also sat down on the lounge chair like Xu Fan.

“That Giant Ship is called the Floating Skyship. Five thousand years ago, our Sect’s Great Supreme Elder took all the Sect’s Wealth to the Central Continent and commissioned the Heavenly Artifact Sect to refine it.”

“For this Floating Skyship, our sect went a whole 50 years without recruiting new disciples and everyone practiced frugality.”

“Back then, disciples couldn’t even look at Spirit Stones without their eyes turning red.”

“Only after the Floating Skyship was refined did our sect finally rise, and later become a top sect.”

“Why did they have to buy this thing back then? Was it for battles, or for finding resources?” Xu Fan asked with confusion, thinking back to a small country in his past life that had devoted all its resources to building an aircraft carrier.

“Of course, it’s for finding resources. Half of the Feiyu Boundary is ocean territory, collectively called the Endless Sea. It’s said to be boundless, with far more resources than other places.”

“Most importantly, there are resources in the depths of the Endless Sea that our continent doesn’t have.”

“Not even a Tribulation Crossing Expert would dare to venture into the depths of the Endless Sea alone,” said Wang Yulun.

“So, to search for resources in the Endless Sea, a Floating Giant Skyship is necessary,” Xu Fan added.

“Correct, a Floating Skyship like this can withstand the attacks of numerous Mahayana Stage demonic beasts.”

“It is said that the depths of the Endless Sea are full of gigantic demonic beasts at the Void Refining Stage and above.”

“Otherwise, the seniors in our Heavenly Gate Sect who are above the Nascent Soul Stage would have long been unable to maintain their cultivation with the resources on the sect’s continent.”

“That’s just one aspect. More importantly, the Floating Skyship can not only go to the Endless Sea, but also to the legendary Vast Void Domain.”

“Vast Void Domain?”

Wang Yulun pointed to the sky, indicating it was the highest part of the sky.

“Isn’t that outer space?” Xu Fan thought.

“However, only the top sects dare to venture into the Vast Void Domain. We can only scratch the surface in the depths of the Endless Sea.”

With Wang Yulun’s explanation, Xu Fan slowly understood the importance of this Floating Skyship.

In terms of his past life’s understanding, this thing is like a nuclear weapon, symbolizing both status and power.”

“Yu Lun, is there any way to take a look at the Floating Skyship?” Xu Fan asked.

“Well, generally speaking, those who can board the Floating Skyship are divided into four groups.”

“First are cultivators who mainly practice detection Techniques, responsible for piloting the Floating Skyship.”

“Second are the fighters of the Battle Hall, usually seniors from the A-Class Hall.”

“Third are Alchemists and Artifact refiners, responsible for the initial processing of materials.”

“Fourth are the great powers of the Void Cultivation Stage and above, usually Combination cultivators, who preside over the ship’s core.”

“Brother Xu, if you want to go, it’s simple. Just join the A-Class Division of the Battle Hall, and you can enter after reaching the Golden Core Stage.”

“Or you can become a Tier 3 or above alchemist or artifact refiner.”

Hearing this, Xu Fan said disappointedly, “I have to wait until the Golden Core Stage? Then forget it.”

He would need to live comfortably until he was 250 years old to reach the Golden Core Stage, which was depressing just thinking about it.

“Oh, well, never mind. My curiosity is satisfied, and it doesn’t matter whether I go or not,” Xu Fan said slowly.

“Brother Xu, are you really not going to the Battle Hall?”

“No, I’m not interested in fighting. But I am very curious about how this Floating Skyship is refined. I’ll learn artifact refining in due time, once I’ve saved up enough Spirit Stones,” Xu Fan said, suddenly looking forward to the moment he would learn the Artifact Refining Technique.

“Artifact refining, huh? With Brother Xu’s wealth, I’m afraid it won’t be enough,” Wang Yulun said, looking at the Spirit rice in front of the small courtyard. These Spirit rice could at most cover the tuition fee for an alchemy course.

“Hehe, you don’t have to worry about that,” Xu Fan said with a smile, now knowing that he had all-around talents.

“Alright, I know Brother Xu is a genius. In the future, my magical treasures will be refined by Brother Xu.”

“Haha, of course, of course!”
