Xu Fan naturally did not know that the three people outside the Book Depository were already filled with immense hatred towards him. Although Li Hua and the others were powerful and had deep backgrounds, they dared not vent their anger on Wang Lao.

Every strong cultivator in the Zhiwei Realm generally has an extremely complex and deep relational network, and even Hidden World Families are unwilling to easily offend any super strong individuals of the Zhiwei Realm.

So, all of this could only be blamed on Xu Fan.

Why didn't Wang Lao favor Li Hua and the others, but favored Xu Fan alone? Why, when Xu Fan said he needed help, did Wang Lao directly gave him the Mysterious Rank Battle Technique to comprehend, while Li Hua and the others, after merely arguing a bit, were directly thrown out of the window by Wang Lao?

Ultimately, it was because they had never taken Xu Fan seriously.

How could someone far inferior to them receive such favor? The three were filled with rage, standing bitterly in front of the Book Depository's door, waiting for Xu Fan to come out and make him pay.

This wait lasted for half a day...

The Luo Yan Step is not like the Sky Splitting Seven Styles; its light and nimble path is quite different from Xu Fan's previous bold and vigorous techniques, and Xu Fan himself had never practiced any movement technique before, so he was essentially blank in this area. Therefore, the comprehension took considerably longer.

But for reasons unknown, whether it was because Xu Fan cultivated Divine Sense or had previously merged a Seven Treasures Relic into his body, Xu Fan found comprehending battle techniques exceedingly effortless. Even the extremely complex Luo Yan Step only took about three hours for him to reach the Small Success stage.

A new cultivator, no matter how remarkable their comprehension, can at most reach the Small Success stage; further integration, finally Great Achievement, or even reaching a transcendent state, require constant practice and honing.

Attaining Small Success in Luo Yan Step did not have the overwhelming momentum like the Sky Splitting Seven Styles. Instead, it was extremely calm, not causing any ripples.

To maintain a low profile, Xu Fan simply practiced the Luo Yan Step in his room. In the spacious room, Xu Fan's figure was like a ghost, constantly appearing in various corners, while his body made all sorts of unbelievable twisting motions.

By following the Luo Yan Step's route, Xu Fan executed the Dragon Elephant Art to the extreme, even directly summoning afterimages! A series of shadows lined up like a string, constantly flickering in the room.

Moreover, what made the scene appear incredibly eerie is that such speed did not produce the slightest sound of footsteps! Even the sound of breaking wind was negligible!

Huff!

But after only two minutes, Xu Fan had to stop, gasping for breath. With the Dragon Elephant Art at full power and the Luo Yan Step's consumption, Xu Fan's current Entering Dao Realm Peak could not handle it!

A mere two minutes, and Xu Fan's Spiritual Power was completely exhausted!

"With the speed of the Luo Yan Step combined with the Dragon Elephant Art, perhaps even those practicing Earth Rank movement techniques might not be as fast as me!"

Xu Fan sat cross-legged to recover his Spiritual Power, a faint bitter smile on his lips.

With benefits come drawbacks; unmatched speed in those two minutes, if the battle couldn't be resolved, Xu Fan would become a mere target post those two minutes.

"I must use this move with caution."

At this moment, Xu Fan finally fully restored his Spiritual Power, feeling it was about time. He unhurriedly opened the door and walked towards Wang Lao with the ancient book in hand.

The moment Xu Fan opened the door, Wang Lao slightly moved his ear, and the teacup he had just replaced was instantly crushed by Wang Lao.

Xu Fan had taken just an hour to cultivate the Sky Splitting Seven Styles, causing a huge uproar within Wang Lao, and Xu Fan had taken five hours to cultivate the Luo Yan Step, which shocked Wang Lao even more!

If a technique could be successfully cultivated within a short time, it indicated Xu Fan's outstanding talent and potentially exceptional luck. After all, cultivating battle techniques relies not only on comprehension and talent but also on the compatibility between the cultivator and the technique.

However, successfully cultivating two fundamentally different techniques in a short time couldn't be explained by mere luck! Only a true monster blessed with great fortune could achieve such an unbelievable feat!

If Wang Lao knew that Xu Fan reached the Small Success in Luo Yan Step after only three hours, he probably would have jumped up in shock by now.

Although internally shocked, Wang Lao's face remained expressionless, with the shattered teacup firmly glued by his Spiritual Power, showing no seams.

At this moment, seeing Xu Fan coming out, Wang Lao just faintly nodded, "Kid, have you also succeeded in cultivating the Luo Yan Step?"

Although Wang Lao saw Xu Fan already and confirmed that Xu Fan had successfully cultivated the Luo Yan Step, he couldn't help but ask again.

Even though Xu Fan didn't want to be high-profile, such achievements couldn't be hidden from Wang Lao, so Xu Fan simply nodded and returned the Luo Yan Step to Wang Lao.

"Thank you, Wang Lao, for gifting me the book today; I promise a significant return in the future!"

What Xu Fan said was indeed true. Once Xu Fan broke through to the Zhiwei Realm in the future, he certainly wouldn't let those four old men, who had set a trap to devour his Divine Sense, off the hook.

Wang Lao took back the Luo Yan Step, nodded towards Xu Fan with a calm face, "You are quite remarkable."

This statement was vague, seemingly saying nothing, yet it was the only thing Wang Lao could say.

Facing such a monstrously talented Xu Fan, Wang Lao was completely lost for words, like asking how xu fan succeeded, or if there were any tricks? Such words, Wang Lao couldn't say.

Kid, I find you remarkable; how about I take you as my disciple?

If Wang Lao didn't harbor ill-will towards Xu Fan, he might have said something like this upon seeing Xu Fan's astonishing talent. However, between them, a relationship existed where only one could survive, making such words meaningless.

Wang Lao, left with nothing to say.

Xu Fan only pretended to be excited, casually replied a couple of times, and found an excuse to head out.

Xu Fan never realized how shockingly fast his cultivation speed was. But even if Xu Fan had realized it, he wouldn't be overly excited.

Xu Fan had never doubted his talent, yet no matter how good the talent, there was always a risk of demise before growing into a strong person.

At this moment, as Xu Fan just stepped out of the Book Depository, he felt three pairs of eyes filled with towering rage glaring furiously at him.
