Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 931 - 517: Terrifying Learning Efficiency

Truthfully, witnessing this scene before him, Ye Feng was truly surprised; he had never expected the Rule Power to have such a terrifying effect.

Didn’t that mean that Elder Lu Ming, standing before him, didn’t have to worry about cultivation resources at all?

Regarding the other’s question, Ye Feng thought for a moment, then shook his head, "I have many thoughts, but to sum it up, I feel that the Time Rule is very powerful. However, I guess that’s not the answer you’re looking for, so, I don’t know."

Hearing Ye Feng speak like this, a trace of surprise flashed across Lu Ming’s face. The prodigies he had encountered before all had an air of arrogance; even if they truly didn’t understand, they could still concoct an answer.

None would be as straightforward as Ye Feng, admitting their ignorance.

"Haha! An interesting youngster you are, lacking the arrogance of those prodigies," said Lu Ming with a smile, then pointing at the Spirit Fruit in front of him, he continued, "What I wanted to tell you is that this Spirit Fruit would have flowered and fruited eventually even without my intervention. I merely accelerated the process a bit."

"That is the essence of the Time Rule—it can only expedite or delay an event, not as fearsome as legend has it. For instance, it is not as powerful in enhancing attack strength as the Space Rule."

Ye Feng nodded thoughtfully, his mind also pondering the underlying message in Lu Ming’s words.

While what the other party said was certainly the essence of the Time Rule, was it really the case?

Definitely not.

With mastery of the Time Rule during battle, speeding up one’s own time and slowing down the enemy’s time would make it virtually impossible for the opponent to even touch oneself.

Under such circumstances, even if the attack strength isn’t inherently boosted, landing a few more punches would compensate for that.

And Lu Ming undoubtedly understood far more about the application of the Time Rule in battle than Ye Feng did.

But now that Lu Ming had deliberately put it this way, the only reason Ye Feng could think of was that Lu Ming was lowering his expectations.

Why would he do that?

Feeling that he couldn’t teach wouldn’t be the reason.

The thought of the Direct Disciples ranked above him in the Merit Hall suddenly enlightened Ye Feng.

Clearly, this Grand Elder did not have much time, or rather, he was not too willing to waste time teaching others.

Other Direct Disciples, he could drag on, but not Ye Feng.

Having undergone the Seven Nine Thunder Tribulation and attracted the attention of two Hall Masters, it was possible that the order to teach came from them.

Therefore, his application was immediately approved, not because the Grand Elder before him truly wanted to instruct him, but out of inevitability. And since he did not wish to teach, yet could not defy the orders of the Hall Masters, the only option left was to make Ye Feng give up.

Understanding all these intricacies, Ye Feng’s demeanor became even more humble as he offered the bottle of wine he was holding, "Elder, I heard you enjoy a good drink. This is the Ten Thousand Years Dragon Fire Wine I have specially collected, and I hope you like it."

Ye Feng was well aware that although Lu Ming had to teach him,

the level of dedication he put into it was subjective, so it was imperative to show the right attitude.

As for his dissatisfaction with the Grand Elder, he could only endure it—for now, at least until he mastered the Time Rule.

Lu Ming looked at the wine bottle offered before him, glancing up at Ye Feng.

He had indeed started to see Ye Feng in a new light.

Without dwelling too much on it, Lu Ming took the wine bottle, broke the seal, opened it, and upon smelling the rich True Dragon Wine Scent, he nodded with satisfaction.

"Alright, time is precious, so let’s start with your instruction now. Which type of Time Series Rule would you like to learn?" Lu Ming asked.

"The Time Acceleration Rules," Ye Feng replied.

"Then first feel this—the Time Acceleration Rules," he said, gesturing with his hand. A surge of Rule Power gathered at his arm, and the flow of time in that area instantly began to accelerate.

Lu Ming then demonstrated and explained the characteristics of the Time Acceleration Rules, and even shared some of his own experiences and feelings from when he first comprehended them.

Seeing that the Grand Elder had begun to instruct, Ye Feng immediately cast aside other thoughts and hurriedly took out a Jade Bodhi to sit cross-legged.

Meanwhile, the World Tree Body located on Earth also put aside all of its tasks and, utilizing a tenfold time acceleration, entered the learning state together.

One must realize that Ye Feng had already made some progress in his solitary study of the Time Rule, missing only a vague sensation and an uncertain path ahead.

Having come this far on his own, and now with someone to guide him directly, Ye Feng was ready for a breakthrough, as countless sparks of inspiration collided in his mind.

After finishing his explanation, Lu Ming began to ask if Ye Feng had any questions.

Ye Feng certainly did not waver and immediately raised the doubts he held within his heart.

At first, Lu Ming did not think much and simply answered casually, but as Ye Feng’s questions grew more profound, he gradually felt that something was amiss.

Indeed, from the questions posed by Ye Feng, he could roughly deduce how far the other had advanced in his comprehension.

Initially, it wasn’t a big deal, but as Ye Feng continued to ask successive questions, he began to understand what terrifying meant.

Ye Feng’s speed of progress, or rather his capacity for comprehension, was simply too fearsome.

You must understand that when you try to comprehend rules, the problems you encounter aren’t things you can simply understand upon receiving an answer.

You need to completely digest this answer. Only when you’ve truly grasped it does it become your own.

But Ye Feng seemed to completely skip this process. As soon as the answer was given, he would understand after brief consideration and then continue to deduce the next steps following your train of thought.

You must understand that many issues, which Lu Ming took three to five years to gradually master, took Ye Feng only three to five minutes to comprehend.

Such a speed of comprehension was beyond monstrous.

In the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed, and the lesson was effectively completed. Ye Feng’s face showed a look of lingering desire for more.

This half-hour could completely match half a year of his dedicated, arduous cultivation.

Originally, he was still a distance away from finding the right direction, but now, in just half an hour, he had completely crossed that distance.

Indeed, Ye Feng had already seen a clear path on how to master the Time Acceleration Rules.

With this pace, even without any further assistance, he was confident that he could master the Time Acceleration Rules within a month.

Of course, that would not be possible with slow cultivation.

Ye Feng gave a slight bow to Lu Ming in front of him, "Thank you for your guidance, Grand Elder. May I know when you might be available? I would like to seek your advice again."

Ye Feng didn’t want to visit frequently and risk annoying the other party.

Whether or not the other party is dedicated to teaching affects his learning efficiency directly.
