Top-Class Comprehension: Start with Basic Fist Techniques

The manor was bustling with many nobles gathered together.

The annual treasure competition had begun once again.

At the very beginning, there was no such treasure competition.

It was merely a private exchange among individuals of noble status.

Later, on a whim, sparring and treasure battles commenced.

As time went by,

the influence of the treasure competition grew considerably.

Now, even those of noble status regard the event with great importance.

After all, within the treasure competition, there really is a chance to obtain rare treasures that each person seeks.

Li Guang led Lu Changsheng to their seating area.

However, there was only one chair present.

"Someone, bring a chair for Brother Lu."

Li Guang instructed the attendants.

"Oh?"

"Li Guang, who is this person you've brought along this time, to show such courtesy?"

The one speaking was a man in resplendent robes.

"Qi Tianyi, this Brother Lu is a close friend I especially invited to participate in the treasure competition."

Li Guang glanced at Qi Tianyi, a trace of coldness flashing in his eyes.

There was some animosity between him and Qi Tianyi.

The other hailed from Skylight City, and during the last treasure competition, Qi Tianyi's bodyguard defeated Li Guang's, causing Li Guang extreme humiliation.

Qi Tianyi looked at Li Guang with a peculiar gaze, then chuckled and said, "Li Guang, you truly grow more disgraceful with each passing day. Since when did the guards you invited deserve to sit on equal footing with us? Utterly shameful!"

Qi Tianyi mocked and sneered at Li Guang without hesitation.

The two had never been on good terms.

However, Qi Tianyi's mockery didn't just offend Li Guang, it also insulted Lu Changsheng.

Lu Changsheng's eyes narrowed slightly.

Still, he did not respond.

There was no need.

Right now, he was Li Guang's guest; it was Li Guang's place to step forward.

Verbal disputes were pointless.

At most, when the treasure competition began later, he could simply kill Qi Tianyi's bodyguard outright.

"Hmph! Qi Tianyi, show some respect to Brother Lu. He is my friend! You, on the other hand, are struggling so much that even forging your Dao Foundation is barely feasible, and you can't even cultivate a single Law to its pinnacle. Truly the waste among wastes!"

Li Guang sneered coldly.

Although individuals of their noble status carried great prestige, in terms of talent, most were considered "mediocre."

Still, even among mediocrities, there were distinctions.

Even within the ranks of mediocrity, some had cultivated certain Laws to pinnacle levels.

For instance, there was Liu Guang, who had comprehended four Laws.

Of those, two Laws were completely cultivated to their pinnacle.

Theoretically, he had a slim chance of advancing to the Divine Power Realm.

Of course, this was merely theoretical.

But Qi Tianyi?

Qi Tianyi couldn't even cultivate one Law to the pinnacle.

Additionally, he had only comprehended a mere two Laws.

It was said that, fearing he wouldn't be able to comprehend Laws in the past, Qi Tianyi only chose to imprint two Law Seeds when forming his Dao Foundation.

He was truly a waste among wastes.

"Li Guang, you…"

Qi Tianyi erupted in anger almost instantly.

His face flushed red with humiliation.

One's talent was Qi Tianyi's Achilles' heel—it was something no one could bring up!

But Li Guang didn't care.

These two were already at odds; why would he spare Qi Tianyi's sensitive spots?

Impossible!

"Enough, both of you, hold your tongues!"

"If there's a grudge, settle it during the treasure competition later."

At this point, Wu Shun intervened.

He held a significant position in Skylight City, and his interjection left Qi Tianyi no room to challenge him despite his anger.

Still, Qi Tianyi glared daggers at Li Guang.

This time, he had brought several masters with him.

During the treasure competition, he was determined to make Li Guang pay!

Li Guang couldn't be bothered to waste words with Qi Tianyi.

Soon, more individuals arrived at the manor.

These people, all of noble stature, naturally formed groups of two or three to begin private exchanges.

Lu Changsheng, on the other hand, remained quietly meditating, his eyes closed as he waited.

About an hour later, a man in white finally spoke.

"Alright, now that everyone has arrived, there will be plenty of time for catching up afterward."

"Let us now begin the treasure competition."

"As always, the rule stands: any treasure presented must be valued at no less than ten thousand Spirit Stones."

Wu Shun appeared to act as the host of this treasure competition.

Once he spoke, the crowd fell silent.

"Hehe, I've brought a Magical Treasure this time: the Heavenly Thunder Tower. It can unleash Thunder Power, and its attack power is absolutely terrifying—surely worth more than ten thousand Spirit Stones."

"I also brought an Ancient Jade. When seated upon, one's mind clears significantly, even aiding in the comprehension of Laws—a truly invaluable auxiliary treasure for cultivation."

"I possess a Domain-breaking Pearl, specifically designed to target Dao Foundation martial artists' cerebral domains. It can certainly shatter them. Without their cerebral domains, the Laws of Dao Foundation martial artists are practically useless. Of course, it may have certain drawbacks, but it surely exceeds a value of ten thousand Spirit Stones."

"I brought…"

Many individuals began introducing their treasures.

These treasures were extraordinary, each astonishing and unique.

Even Lu Changsheng couldn't help but take an interest.

It seemed like an eye-opening experience.

In particular, the Domain-breaking Pearl was truly fascinating. The ability to shatter cerebral domains made it nearly a nemesis to Dao Foundation martial artists, entirely neutralizing their power.

After all, the entirety of a Dao Foundation martial artist's strength lay in their Divine Arts and Laws.

And Divine Arts and Laws were rooted in the cerebral domain.

Of course, there must be significant limitations.

For example, activating the Domain-breaking Pearl was challenging and required considerable time.

In direct combat, one would be noticed long before the Pearl could be deployed.

However, when used for ambush or with premeditation, it posed immense danger.
