Chapter 501: Chapter 498: Unexpected Breakthrough

"I learned it from you," Lin Tian admitted.

Grandmaster shouldn’t count as stealth learning, right? She used Meteor Burst on me, I watched it once and learned a bit of it, only proving that my clairvoyance is against the heavens. Lin Tian thought to himself confidently, hence he saw no reason to hide this fact.

Ning Luoxi, however, didn’t believe it and furrowed her pretty brows, saying seriously, "I’m serious, don’t joke with me."

"Do I look like I’m joking? They took us to the Xiao Family’s Heavenly Mansion Restaurant branch. Miss will kill me if she knows I took her sister out of the country overnight without letting her know," Lin Tian said, urging her to drive, knowing that there was a branch of Heavenly Mansion Restaurant near Chinese Street.

Ning Luoxi drove out of the parking lot, glancing sideways at Lin Tian, trying to tell from his expression whether he was lying. She failed, noticing nothing amiss.

Now she was really confused. She knew best whether she had taught him or not. She’d only ever used the technique twice in front of him, so how could she have taught him?

Yet the fact that Lin Tian could use Meteor Burst was true, and that he wasn’t lying was also true. "Could it be that I’ve lied to myself?" Ning Luoxi came to a ridiculous conclusion.

No way, could it be that this big pervert learned it after watching it twice? She suddenly thought of an even more absurd possibility.

"Miss Luoxi, doesn’t it count as perverted behavior if you keep looking at me like that?" Lin

Tian said with a laugh.

Ning Luoxi ignored his teasing and said uncertainly, "You learned it just by watching it twice?"

"I wouldn’t say I’ve mastered it. I feel like I’ve only grasped about forty or fifty percent? There’s still a long way to go." Lin Tian admitted somewhat sheepishly.

Even with his ability to memorize everything he saw and predict from minor clues, he still hadn’t mastered Meteor Burst, which truly made him feel unworthy of his extraordinary eyes.

"You really learned that much just by watching it twice?" Ning Luoxi exclaimed in amazement.

But then she felt like she was stating the obvious. The facts were right in front of her, hard as they were to believe—Lin Tian had produced Meteor Burst, and that was the truth.

"How did you learn it?" Ning Luoxi changed her question.

Lin Tian gave a wry smile inside, circling back to his biggest secret, the question he dreaded. Having become a zombie, he had gained the ability of super clairvoyance, which allowed him to learn Meteor Burst. Should he tell her that?

Obviously, that was not possible. Zombies were humanity’s natural enemy, and even if Ning Luoxi could accept it, there was no guarantee that the state power behind her would.

In fact, with the zombie’s abilities, Lin Tian could, to some degree, do whatever he wanted, completely treating humans as his food or creating countless descendants. But he hadn’t.

Perhaps in his heart, he still considered himself human, treating zombification merely as an ability, just like an Ancient Martial Artist.

Having been human for eighteen years, his grandfather taught him many things. Morality should not become a shackle in his growth, but neither should he breach his own bottom line. If he allowed himself to act without limits, how would he be any different from those half-zombies from Japan?

It’s not about the zombie’s body influencing his core, but rather his core driving the zombie’s body.

Realizing this, Lin Tian felt his thoughts undergo a qualitative sublimation, just like an Ancient Martial Artist breaking through to another realm, as countless images and a continuous stream of information suddenly flooded his mind.

He had indeed made a breakthrough! A surge of ecstasy filled his heart; his super-perspective had undergone a subtle change. The images that had appeared in his vision were scenes from the hotel where Qi Dapeng was staying and from Li Qingyun’s shop; this was not a memory but a true vision.

The range of his super-perspective had expanded once again. At this moment, Ning Luoxi was driving, already some distance away from these two locations, which he would not have been able to see with his previous capabilities, yet now he could.

It no longer seemed like mere perspective but rather like the legendary Divine Sense. A smile appeared on Lin Tian’s lips; with his current ability, his capacity to absorb information should be stronger, meaning he could read books faster now.

He even felt confident that if he watched Ning Luoxi perform Meteor Burst again, he would see it even more clearly and learn even more from it.

Ning Luoxi glanced at Lin Tian and, seeing that he did not respond to her question, suddenly noticed him smiling.

This smile was purely unblemished, and moreover, his gaze had suddenly become quite marvelous—his eyes seemed as clear and transparent as the springs on Heaven Mountain, and if you looked closely, they were as deep and unfathomable as those very springs, with no bottom in sight.

Ning Luoxi’s heart skipped a beat, and it took a moment for her to steady her nerves and recover. When she looked at Lin Tian again, he had returned to his usual demeanor, as if the events just now hadn’t been real.

What a strange feeling, she thought, Lin Tian was becoming more and more mysterious.

By now, Lin Tian had retracted his perspective and said to Ning Luoxi with a smile, "Miss Luoxi really wants to know the reason, heh, actually I’m not sure of the exact reason myself. My mentor said I have a unique talent, a photographic memory that allows me to learn things incredibly fast; just by focusing on something for a short period, I can master 50 to 60 percent of it."

He mentioned his nonexistent mentor again, already used to doing so.

Ning Luoxi seemed to know he would say that, just smiled, and did not ask further. Instead, she smiled and said, "The Ancient Martial Art you practice seems somewhat similar to mine, both highly physical, excelling in speed and strength. Do you want to fully learn Meteor Burst?"

"I certainly do, the more skills, the better. But would your mentor freely allow you to pass on these martial arts skills?" Lin Tian asked excitedly, yet he still posed the question calmly.

"I don’t have a mentor; don’t ask how I became an Ancient Martial Artist. Everyone has their secrets. If you want to learn, you only need to answer one question," Ning Luoxi said, her tone cloaked in mystery.

Without a mentor, could it be she was self-taught? Lin Tian looked at her curiously, but he didn’t press further, true to her words, everyone has their secrets.

If answering one question could help him learn Meteor Burst, that seemed like a worthwhile deal. He nodded in agreement but added, "If it involves some secrets I’d rather not reveal, I may choose not to answer."

Ning Luoxi responded neither affirmatively nor negatively but asked, "I’ve always been curious, what exactly is the Cultivation Technique you practice? This shouldn’t be a difficult question to answer."

This question wouldn’t be hard for other Ancient Martial Artists—just a matter of naming the technique—but for Lin Tian, who had never learned any such techniques, it was indeed challenging.

"If I say I practice the Golden Bell Divine Shield, would you believe me?" Lin Tian shook his head, resignedly spoke, "Seeing your expression, you wouldn’t believe me, and I don’t want to lie for other reasons. If I can’t tell, I can’t tell; it’s a pity that Meteor Burst is not meant for me."

He knew when to let go; he wouldn’t pester Ning Luoxi for a martial arts technique stubbornly.

But Ning Luoxi suddenly flashed a smile and said, "I didn’t expect you to be this honest. It seems your secrets are bigger than mine. However, who said I am unwilling to teach you? It’s rare to meet such an honest, exceptionally talented person like you. I can’t miss this opportunity. Just call me mentor once, and I will impart Meteor Burst to you."
