Yu Haoming’s gaze turned towards Yang Mu with a solemn expression.

Yang Mu’s heart skipped a beat.

In a cemetery that is such a cold and gloomy place, it was already good enough to be able to withstand the cold every day and not be possessed.

As for cultivation, he could forget about it.

Furthermore, his meridians were completely severed, and the cold air would cut through him like a knife, making him rather be dead.

To be honest, at first, he really didn’t know that there was such a rule among the sect rules.

However, he quickly figured it out.

He, Victor, must have secretly learned techniques.

Otherwise, with his cultivation aptitude, he had spent a few years before he was able to cultivate the Wind technique to the initial success stage.

He would never believe that Victor would be able to cultivate the Wind technique to the completion stage or even the perfection stage within half a year or so.

As long as Victor was proven to have stolen the sect’s cultivation technique, the sect would definitely provide him the medicine to heal his meridians.

And he would be able to take back his title as the number one disciple.

Facing Yu Haoming’s question.

Yang Mu gritted his teeth and nodded heavily. “I’m sure!”

Yu Haoming turned his gaze to Victor, who had been silent all this time, and asked, “Do you have anything to say?”

“I didn’t steal it!”

Victor looked at Yu Haoming and said with a calm and serious expression.

The two of them looked at each other for three seconds.

Yu Haoming realized that the young man in front of him had such an honest expression, and his eyes were filled with sincerity.

“He said that you stole it. Aren’t you going to refute him?”

Yu Haoming smiled slightly. He realized that the young man in front of him was very genuine.

He was so honest that you could tell that he was calm and undisturbed at a glance.

“If you can learn a skill just by looking at it, then it should be considered as stealing it as he had mentioned.”

Victor said slowly, word by word.

His face was still as calm as ever, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

Boom!

Just as Victor finished speaking.

The disciples who had been quietly listening, ready to see how Victor would explain himself, suddenly exploded.

“Did he admit it?”

“I don’t know if he’s stupid or if he’s too honest and sincere.”

“Hehe… is there something wrong with your ears? When did he admit that he learned it secretly?”

“He said that he learned it with just a glance and that if that was considered as secretly learning, then he learned it secretly.”

“Do you know what the word ‘take a glance means’ ?”

“It means that he learned the technique just by taking a glance at it while others were practicing it!”

“As far as I know, from the servant hall, you can see the disciples of the Martial Arts Peak when they are practicing the Wind technique.”

“That is to say, if they saw it, it would be considered stealing. Everyone present, including me, has seen others practicing martial arts. It’s just that we are not talented enough and have not successfully learned it.”

“Don’t argue, if you secretly learned it, then you secretly learned it!”

..

Hearing Victor’s answer, Yu Haoming’s body trembled violently.

He had also successfully caught the main point of Victor’s words. With a glance, he had learned it!

“Is what you said true?”

Yu Haoming stared at Victor fervently, as if he had seen a rare treasure.

With just a glance, he was able to comprehend a skill.

What kind of monstrous talent was this? Under such talent, how could this be considered stealing?

Moreover, in the face of such superior talent, stealing was nothing.

As long as Victor did not betray the sect and was not a spy for another sect, it was fine.

Moreover, for such a precious and outstanding disciple, which sect would let such a genius become a spy for another sect.

If he was kidnapped, they would suffer a great loss.

“Yeah, I usually take a walk and watch my senior brothers practice their martial arts. I just happened to have learned it during the process.”

Victor said with a serious expression.

Take a walk?

Just take a look?

Hearing Victor’s answer, Yu Haoming was instantly speechless. He even didn’t want to pay attention to him.

Why it so frustrating?

Why is he so casual?

Yu Haoming took a few deep breaths to calm himself down. His hands were trembling as he grabbed Victor’s shoulders.

“I. . . Believe you, but others may not believe you.”

Yu Haoming’s eyes darted around as he pondered.

Three seconds later, he let go of his hands. He had thought it through.

A teenager had such terrifying talent.

At the same time, he had reached the transformation stage of the Qingyun Sword technique and the Wind technique.

Even if Victor had secretly learned the Wind technique, he would still protect Victor.

Even if Victor had been learning the Wind technique since birth, it would still take ten years.

Moreover, Victor was just a kid from a small village. He had to read and understand the Wind technique.

In just ten years.

On the contrary, he was still inferior to Victor even though he had been taught by Zhang Lingren since he was young.

Moreover, Victor had only entered the Martial Arts peak for half a year.

In half a year, he could breakthrough from the third-rate realm to the intermediate stage of the second-rate realm.

His cultivation talent was almost better than his.

Moreover, his talent in cultivation could not be compared to Victor at all.

After all sorts of analysis, Yu Haoming was certain that Victor’s talent was very powerful and rarely seen in the world.

Yu Haoming turned around.

He looked around and faced all the disciples below the stage.

His gaze was serious as he said solemnly, “Yang Mu said that Victor secretly learned martial arts, but Victor said that he only took a glance and learned it. Moreover, it was during a stroll that he casually observed and managed to comprehend it.”

“However, was Yang Mu slandering recklessly, or did Victor really secretly learn it? If we want to distinguish the truth from the lie, I happen to have an idea!”

Yu Haoming’s words immediately aroused everyone’s interest.

“Victor said that he could learn it with just a glance, which means that his comprehension of martial arts is extremely high.”

Yu Haoming turned around and gave Victor a deep look.

Actually, he was already a little curious as to why he felt a sense of familiarity when he looked at Victor.

It wasn’t until he and Victor looked at each other for three seconds that he suddenly remembered.

This kid was the one with the mental illness on the first day of the sect’s grand competition!

It was probably because he had drunk too much these few days that he became a little muddle-headed for a moment.

He did not immediately associate that silly kid with the genius who defeated Yang Mu.

Yu Haoming suppressed his curiosity and continued, “Recently, I just created another martial technique based on the iron claw of the Flying Eagle — Thunder Eagle.

“Next, I will demonstrate it on the spot. If Victor can really learn it in a short period of time.

“This proves that he is not lying. Furthermore, it also proves that he really has the world’s top aptitude for comprehension.

“Yang Mu, on the other hand, will be charged with making hasty conclusions due to insufficient evidence and slandering his fellow disciples.

“On the other hand, if Victor can not do it, then he is stealing it!”

“Thunder Eagle?”

All the disciples frowned. This name was very unfamiliar.

They had indeed never seen such a martial technique in the library.

Most importantly, Yu Haoming was an elder. He could not lie to everyone.

Yang Mu’s lips curled into a smug smile. He looked at Victor with a vicious and cold gaze.

In this situation, as long as Victor was taken down, glory would return to him and he could rise to the top.
