Blitz, just like last time, frantically compressed the lightning in his hand until it turned a faint black before stopping.
"Teacher, this is as far as I can go right now."
As soon as Blitz finished speaking, his iron fist roared out, the lightning aiming straight for Yang Yan.
"Hmm! That's already impressive. How long has it been since I demonstrated? You've reached this level already. Blitz, you truly are a genius!"
Yang Yan didn't dodge, casually grabbing the lightning with his hand.
With a gentle twist, the black-glowing lightning turned to fragments and then vanished, as if it had never existed.
"Sigh!"
Blitz's expression shifted, his surging aura instantly receding. He sighed and continued:
"Who in this world dare call themselves a genius in front of you, Teacher?"
Yang Yan chuckled lightly, reassuringly saying:
"Your talent is already strong. I think, at this rate, it won't be long before you become an SS-rank powerhouse. I'm sure your family would be pleased by then."
Blitz bowed to Yang Yan and respectfully said:
"I owe it all to you, Teacher. Without your dedicated guidance, forget about becoming such a powerhouse, I probably would have been dead by now!"
Yang Yan waved his hand indifferently:
"You don't need to say that. It's all just destiny. Destiny, you must understand."
But Blitz persistently said:
"Teacher, ever since I met you, I stopped believing in chance or fate. I firmly believe everything is inevitable. It's divine will!"
Blitz finished speaking, and his aura surged again.
He began to harness his superpower once more, compressing the lightning with all his might, then attacked Yang Yan with full strength.
Yang Yan understood very well that Blitz had an almost blind admiration for him.
He believed his teacher was invincible.
So, even when sparring with him, he never held back.
Because he believed that to him, his teacher was unbeatable and no matter how he attacked, he wouldn't harm him at all!
Of course, Blitz was correct. Yang Yan gave him three opportunities, but unfortunately, he couldn't even touch the hem of Yang Yan's clothes, let alone harm him.
All of his full-powered attacks were effortlessly neutralized by Yang Yan.
However, though the battle was short, for Blitz, the gains were immense.
Although he couldn't master it in the short term, he seemed to have touched on something and believed that in the near future, he could make significant progress and reach a new level.
"Alright, let's head out! We've been at it for half a day, and I'm getting a bit hungry."
Yang Yan patted the nonexistent dust off his clothes, smiling as he spoke.
"Okay, Teacher."
Blitz struggled to stand up from the ground, nodding lightly.
The recent battle took everything he had.
Though it lasted less than two minutes, the intensity was extremely high, as if it drained all of his energy.
Before leaving, he couldn't help but take a final glance at the room, which bore no trace of the battle, and sighed heavily.
The absence of battle marks wasn't due to the room's defense but rather because Yang Yan had been simultaneously restraining the residual impact of the battle, leaving the room unscathed.
Otherwise, such a brief yet intense battle would have leveled the place.
Thinking about how he used all his strength and still couldn't trouble Yang Yan even slightly, Blitz couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness.
He looked at Yang Yan's not-so-tall back and said in a deep voice:
"Teacher, I've always been puzzled. From the information I've gathered, why is it that when you fight against S-class or even A-class opponents, sometimes you show some real skills?"
"But when you fight me, you don't reveal any real power at all. Am I truly that weak?"
Upon hearing Blitz's words, Yang Yan paused, patted his shoulder comfortingly, and said:
"Not at all. You're not weak. When I fight those guys, there are other special reasons involved, which might give you that misconception."
"Enough about that. Tell me more about tonight's King of Gamblers tournament. I've never encountered it before. Is it really that popular?"
Blitz scoffed:
"It's just a game created by some bored people to entertain themselves. Besides lots of beauties, there's nothing else interesting about it."
"Of course, that's our perspective. For ordinary people, tonight's tournament is quite the spectacle."
"Countless people want to make an appearance, which is why tickets are hard to come by, fetching a high price of over a million US Dollars."
Yang Yan suddenly realized and slapped his forehead:
"Why the hell didn't you say so earlier? I thought it was like in the movies, with a bunch of people watching others play cards around a table."
"Uh..."
This left Blitz speechless, momentarily unsure of what to say.
Time flew by.
While a few girls were busy adjusting the car in the nearby garage, Yang Yan changed into an evening dress personally selected for him by Blitz, and with the equally revitalized Wang Xue and Shiya Jie, they headed towards the King of Gamblers tournament under Blitz's guidance.
"By the way, where is this King of Gamblers tournament being held?"
Yang Yan looked at the familiar street scene around them and couldn't help but ask.
Blitz glanced at him quizzically and then laughed:
"Haha! Teacher, you're really slow on the uptake. This King of Gamblers tournament is being held in the hotel you're staying at. How did you not notice?"
Yang Yan shrugged helplessly and said:
"I don't understand English, you know that. And besides, I haven't really been out much the past couple of days."
"I just took them to the small casino nearby last night. I haven't even had a chance to take them to the big casinos yet."
"Was that really just a small casino?"
Wang Xue looked at Yang Yan in surprise, asking incredulously.
Yang Yan nodded gently and asked with a smile:
"What did you think? The real big casinos here are all linked to hotels."
"For instance, the hotel we're staying in contains the largest casino in all of Las Vegas."
On the side, Shiya Jie was also taken aback and said:
"Is that true? The hotel we're staying at has the biggest casino in Gambling City? And it doesn't make a sound."
Yang Yan gestured to Blitz:
"Alright, give them an introduction, so they don't think I'm fooling them."
