It seemed to Darren that upgrading his talent remained the key to escape.
"Okay, it won't be a good idea to keep busting random plans from nowhere. The dragon ancestor is wiser and might know what to do."
Darren racked his brains over it already. It was time to ask for the dragon ancestor's help again.
"Sir, it's an emergency..."
Darren's urgent voice woke up the dragon ancestor from his slumber.
"What? What's wrong? Who wants to kill you this time?" He cursed Darren for having powerful enemies—yet again.
"No, wait, it's not like that this time. Listen..."
In the following hour, Daren explained his unique assimilating power to the dragon ancestor.
Having heard the explanation, the dragon ancestor was silent for a moment.
"What an incredible ability! Amazing! You are the most potential cultivator in the world!"
"Tell me, what do you think I should do?" Darren asked worriedly.
The dragon ancestor meditated for a moment and replied, "I'm not really sure about what you should do. These things are a bit unfamiliar to me."
Darren was dumbstruck. It seemed that even the dragon ancestor didn't know what to do about it.
"Now, calm down. There's a method you might want to try. While comprehending that martial skill, try to refine the talent liquid at the same time," suggested the dragon ancestor.
During the comprehension process of the martial skill, Darren's headache actually meant a lack of talent.
It might be good to replenish his talent once his head began to hurt.
"How could I have missed such a simple trick? Let me give it a shot." Darren patted himself on the head. It was so lucky to have someone to enlighten him in dire times.
According to the method described by the dragon ancestor, Darren first tried to comprehend "Void Penetration." Once he started, the dull pain in his head came.
Darren drew out his spiritual sense and immediately entered the mysterious space. He then started to refine the talent liquid stored in the space.
"What in the world?" said Darren as he gave a hearty laugh.
"What's wrong? Have you gone insane?" His laughter unsettled the dragon ancestor. He was worried Darren might've lost his mind while forcing himself to learn the martial skill.
"Sir, you're a genius!" said Darren, reassuring the ancestor as he wiped tears out of his eyes from all the laughter.
The dragon ancestor let out a sigh of relief. His worry slipped away as he smiled and said, "It seems that you've made it. I was really just kidding around. I had no idea my advice would actually help you out."
"It was brilliant! Go and get some rest, sir. I'll keep going."
"Don't get complacent, now. If you cultivate too much it will end in disaster for you."
"Got it, sir. Don't worry."
"Well, before I fall asleep, I have something important to tell you. Do not disturb me again!" The dragon ancestor was getting annoyed from being awoken from his slumber over and over.
"Hah!" Darren smiled and said nothing more.
Darren followed the dragon ancestor's advice and continued the process, but he didn't feel any improvement for a while. But during the process, he clearly felt that the pain in his head was alleviated!
Darren was sure his talent upgraded, even if he couldn't exactly feel it.
Darren focused intently on practicing the skill.
Time flew, and half a year passed in the blink of an eye.
"Oh, I've finally finished comprehending the first move!"
Darren opened his eyes. In the past six months, his talent made slow progress, but he had already gotten used to comprehending this martial skill. As he practiced, his headache grew less and less painful.
"This martial skill has more than ten thousand moves. In half a year, I've only mastered one move. It seems that I need to work on my talent."
Darren continued comprehending the martial skill and raising his talent at the same time.
After he mastered the first move, it was easier for him to comprehend the second move. He could see that his talent had improved by a lot.
It only took him half a month to complete the second move.
After this, learning the other moves got faster.
It was not until Darren had mastered the fifth move that he realized its true power.
