Who would have thought that the colossal beast could manifest such a vast space with its spiritual power, and after meeting its gaze, Ye Ningze spoke to the colossal beast before him:
"This trial of yours is rather too boring for me. You must know that in the realm of spiritual power, you are no match for me."
But who would have expected that the bronze colossal beast would slowly shake its head and say:
"This is merely to test whether you can withstand my power. If you cannot even bear my strength, then this trial would be meaningless."
After the bronze colossal beast finished speaking, its entire body transformed into a stream of light and entered Ye Ningze's body.
Ye Ningze instantly felt a surge of heat enter his body, darting around within him.
Ye Ningze could feel this entity constantly altering his body's structure, and it was also continuously merging its power with every inch of Ye Ningze's body.
After several more hours, Ye Ningze slowly opened his eyes. The bronze cauldron before him had vanished completely.
In its place was a colossal, verdant egg. Ye Ningze could sense that with enough power,
this giant egg could hatch completely, and when it did, Ye Ningze would have a second beast companion.
With a second battle companion, Ye Ningze would experience a significant enhancement, both in combat and defense.
Ye Ningze waved his hand gently, and the verdant giant egg entered his body.
Ye Ningze did not rush to hatch the giant egg because he knew the key to its hatching was not here, but in the information provided by the egg.
He believed that only by reaching that location could the giant egg be fully opened.
Once the giant egg was opened, there would undoubtedly be further gains, and Ye Ningze was confident that the information contained within this giant egg had an inexplicable connection to the civilization and origins of ancient beasts.
If he could grasp this, he would surely unravel the mysteries of ancient civilizations, understand the origins of demonic beasts, and ultimately find their weaknesses and exploit them. This would contribute greatly to humanity's survival and its future direction.
Soon, Ye Ningze stored the giant egg within his body and left his room. His current objective was to help his companions gain greater strength.
Last time, Ye Ningze had handed them a series of cultivation techniques and then instructed them to cultivate diligently.
These individuals also knew that if they wanted to survive in future battles, diligent cultivation was paramount.
Therefore, besides cultivating with exceptional focus, they also frequently sought Ye Ningze's guidance on the path to acquiring power.
Ye Ningze, for his part, answered all their questions without reservation. However, even with this, their progress was not rapid, stemming from their inherently lower talent.
Ye Ningze would now proceed with the next stage of targeted training, and Li Mingbo and Liu Qichao would be the first recipients of this specialized training.
First, Ye Ningze would focus on honing their strengths within their respective domains.
For instance, Liu Qichao excelled in defense, so Ye Ningze would further enhance his defensive capabilities.
Li Mingbo, on the other hand, was adept at speed, and Ye Ningze would make his speed even more formidable.
In essence, Ye Ningze aimed to elevate them further in their areas of expertise.
Ye Ningze's training method was quite simple: sparring with him. Battling Ye Ningze would maximize their practical combat experience.
In fact, Ye Ningze could deliberately target their habits, especially Liu Qichao. This fellow was quite cunning and always favored insidious tactics against enemies. While this was often beneficial, it could also be detrimental at times.
For example, against someone like Ye Ningze, it would lead to certain doom, as Ye Ningze was even more insidious, cunning, and underhanded.
Ye Ningze knew how to turn these weaknesses into traps to ensnare Liu Qichao.
Just as it was at this moment, with the two of them sparring, Liu Qichao had already suffered several setbacks due to his underhanded moves against Ye Ningze. He had never imagined that someone could understand his nature and personality so thoroughly.
The key was that the other party had only known him for a few days, which demonstrated Ye Ningze's profound understanding of human nature, or rather, his ability to see through people with remarkable clarity.
Ye Ningze looked at Liu Qichao before him, and after a long pause, he spoke to him:
"Liu Qichao, although you have your schemes, I forgot to tell you that all of that is merely superficial. In the face of absolute strength, all plots and stratagems are fragile. You, however, tend to get lost in your schemes, forgetting to improve your own strength."
Liu Qichao also realized that his attempts at scheming against Ye Ningze, while occasionally effective, ultimately led to him suffering more as the attempts increased.
On several occasions, Ye Ningze had the strength to directly dismantle his schemes, thus proving Ye Ningze's point that in the face of absolute power, all cunning tactics were useless.
Li Mingbo, however, was straightforward and employed no tricks whatsoever. Because of this, Li Mingbo's fighting style was quite pleasing to witness.
Yet, it offered no shortcuts, and thus, Li Mingbo's battles ultimately devolved into a contest of pure strength.
Ye Ningze's advice to him was:
"Do not just fight with strength; fight with your mind as well. If you cannot fight with your mind, then eventually you will find your combat path narrowing."
After hearing this, Li Mingbo was secretly contemplating how to refine his future combat approach.
After all, in the apocalypse, having a well-defined combat path was crucial. The higher one ascended, the more complete the cultivation system and the greater the strength one could attain.
Unlike Liu Qichao, Li Mingbo had reached his current standing step by step, so his foundation was exceptionally solid.
Li Mingbo nodded slightly and responded to Ye Ningze before him:
"Thank you, sir. I will certainly practice diligently from now on and will not disappoint your expectations."
Ye Ningze smiled and nodded.
