After around a stick of incense’s worth of time, Yun Jianyue reappeared in front of Zu An and asked, “How much have you learned?”

Before Zu An had a chance to reply, however, she continued, “The Star Shattering Imprint is extremely profound and mysterious. It would be difficult for a beginner student to understand its essence within a short amount of time. Based on what we’ve seen from successive generations of cultivators, those with outstanding aptitude can reach roughly a threefold increase in power, while stunning talents can reach a fivefold increase in power. There are a select few who can quickly reach a sevenfold increase.

“With your aptitude, you should be able to produce a fivefold increase… Yes, for that deathworm, that should barely be enough. After all, you haven’t had much time with the technique. As you spend more time working on it, you’ll slowly be able to reach a tenfold increase in power.”

She spoke for a long time, but when she saw that Zu An wasn’t answering her, she couldn't help but frown. She asked, “You haven’t even reached fivefold? Um… You weren’t given much time, I guess, so there’s no need to feel bad… You should at least be able to display three times the power, right?”
