Chapter 159: 14. The female mentor was shocked (10,000 words asking for subscription!)
What did she see?
She saw the man before her growing at an unbelievably rapid rate!
Every failure seemed to inspire him anew, making him faster, stronger, and more adept!
At first, he made frequent mistakes, whether the sequence of muscle coordination was off, or there was an issue with a movement. Nonetheless, all were minor yet significant issues.
Qing Ya had encountered these problems while learning herself initially. They were the common difficulties of executing "Instant Step."
But gradually, after practicing a dozen or twenty times, the man in front of her almost stopped making mistakes!
It was as if in just a few minutes, he had practiced for over a dozen days, becoming increasingly proficient, with muscle memory becoming increasingly precise.
Whether it was the technique of exerting force or the standard execution of movements, none of them posed a problem anymore.
Now, the only thing that was still preventing his success was the speed of his execution.

Like the Sealing Thunder Fist, the speed of execution is very important for most martial skills.
Only with sufficient speed can the explosive power keep up. Otherwise, it would be light and airy, devoid of strength!
This in itself was one of the challenges of martial skills.
But gradually, Qing Ya noticed… Fang Ze's speed was increasing.
Ten times, twenty times, thirty times, forty times...
With each trial, his explosive power increased and his actions became quicker! His steps started to show glimpses of the Instant Step!
And by the fiftieth attempt, Qing Ya couldn't help but cover her mouth. Fang Ze had actually taken a step using Instant Step!
Though it was only a short half meter! But... he truly succeeded!
Qing Ya was somewhat amazed as she watched Fang Ze's movement just now—the distance alteration in milliseconds, it was undoubtedly Instant Step!
And that wasn't all!
By the fifty-first step, after stepping out a true Instant Step, Fang Ze seemed to have a sudden Qi Opening, and began progressing rapidly!
0.5 meters, 0.6 meters, 0.8 meters, 1 meter... 1.5 meters, 2 meters, 2.8 meters, 3.5 meters...
Fang Ze became faster and faster, and the distance of his Instant Step became longer and longer!
When after the sixtieth step Fang Ze took a step, a phantom seemed to stay in place, while his entire body was already five meters away!
Qing Ya stared dumbfounded at all this!
Even though she was somewhat prepared due to the incident with Sealing Thunder Fist, when she truly witnessed a miracle happening, her mind was still a bit blank!
Did he really manage to do it!?
She looked at Fang Ze with her beautiful eyes.
What in the world was going on with this man?
Why was his martial arts talent so astonishing!
She checked the time.
Only two and a half hours had passed since she brought Fang Ze to the training field.
In two and a half hours, he had learned her unique skill of Instant Step...
Qing Ya felt that if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed it!
She couldn't help but recall the time it took her to learn Instant Step...
How long was that?
It was like seven days, or maybe ten days?
Qing Ya was at a loss for words...
And while she was thinking this, Fang Ze also wiped the sweat from his forehead and said somewhat emotionally to Qing Ya, "Mentor. This Instant Step feels much harder than Sealing Thunder Fist, and it's tough and tiring to practice."
Hearing Fang Ze's words, Qing Ya:.......
If it weren't for her good upbringing preventing Qing Ya from easily getting angry or cursing, she really wanted to swear, "You monster," "You're too inhuman," and other expletives...
Having learned and mastered her unique skill in just two and a half hours, he still complained it was too hard and tiring!
Was there anyone else so bullying!
What would be not difficult, not tiring martial skills for him?
Would he learn them in a second?
Qing Ya's chest heaved rapidly with frustration.
After a moment, she calmed herself down. Then she looked at Fang Ze, thought for a while, and said, "Fang Ze, do you realize how astonishing the martial arts talent you've shown is?"
Fang Ze looked at her involuntarily.
Qing Ya looked at him, opened her mouth, but couldn't think of a word to describe his martial arts talent.
After a moment, she could only say, "It's... terrifying."
She thought for a while, then said, "Fang Ze, would you like to follow me to study martial arts?"
Hearing Qing Ya's words, Fang Ze was startled, then asked, "Mentor, are you thinking of taking me as a disciple?"
Qing Ya gently shook her head.
She had indeed had that thought, but as soon as it sprang up, she dismissed it.
She knew her own abilities; although talented, she was not a top martial arts genius.
And in terms of strength, she had only reached the level of "Blood Exchange," which was not low, but for a monster like Fang Ze, it might just take a year or two to achieve.
While her character was gentle and patient, making her well-suited to be a teacher... it was only suitable for her to be an introductory teacher for Fang Ze.
For someone like Fang Ze, a monster, it would be too easy to hold him back if he truly became her disciple.
However, she cherished talent and liked to instruct newcomers. Thus, her heart was moved by Fang Ze.
So, after much thought, she decided... not to talk about taking disciples anymore, and just find time to help Fang Ze with the basics.
If one day Fang Ze truly became a martial arts master, she would also feel a sense of participation and be happy...
Fang Ze, not quite understanding Qing Ya's thoughts, saw her shaking her head, was perplexed, and wanted to ask what she really meant but didn't know how to start.
At that moment, Qing Ya, having collected her thoughts, smiled, then said, "Don't mind it too much. In the training center, I am the mentor, you are the student. With your talent being so great, it wouldn't be a problem for me to teach you privately, right?"
