Over the next several days, Song Yan remained in the Forbidden Small World, receiving training and guidance from Darren Fang Easton.
Darren didn't teach him any specific cultivation methods or sword techniques; instead, he used deceptively simple yet profound approaches to train him.
It had to be said, Darren was truly a good master.
Whether in the real world or the three worlds Song Yan had travelled through, he'd always relied on himself to explore and cultivate.
But these past few days, he realized his gains were even greater than he'd imagined—sometimes, the simplest things contained the deepest truths.
Using the sword-dao insights he’d grasped over these days, he re-analyzed his Azure Lotus Sword Art and found his understanding had deepened; when he performed it, its power would at least double.
"Master, what are we training today?"
Song Yan stepped out of his room, first bowing respectfully to Darren before asking.
Darren shook his head. "I originally thought that, even with your talent, the first phase of training would take two or three years. I never expected you to finish in just a few days. So, today, we move to phase two!"
Song Yan’s eyes lit up, though he replied modestly, "Master, you flatter me!"
