Chapter 47: Chapter 47
The multicolored elemental collisions before Nathan, with their sparkling energy, were most captivating to children.
"Brother... so pretty, so pretty!"
Ganyu moved closer to him, hopping and trying to touch the lights.
"Ganyu, that's very dangerous, don't be reckless!"
But this behavior earned Cloud Retainer's scolding.
Under these circumstances, Nathan immediately dispersed the power before him.
Combining these elements required extremely precise control.
Cloud Retainer saw through its nature immediately - it was an elemental bomb Nathan had concentrated, and a very powerful one at that.
"Ahem... it seems this adeptus has nothing left to teach you regarding elemental control!"
Wanting to teach but instantly surpassed by her disciple, the crane coughed to hide her embarrassment.
"In that case, let this adeptus formally teach you adeptal arts... including the Art of Visualization! The Art of Understanding All Things! The Art of Dream Walking and Possession! The Art of Transformation!"
The crane listed various adeptal arts.
While Nathan listened attentively, Ganyu beside him was already nodding off.
It seemed the little one was like students from his previous life - as soon as class started, the teacher's voice made them drowsy.
"Brother... brother!"
The little girl hugged his waist, swaying adorably.
However, Cloud Retainer quickly noticed her small disciple's unusual behavior.
"Ganyu!!! Sleeping during lessons again!"
"Eh... no! No!"
The little one startled awake, shaking her head innocently.
Now more frightened, she hid behind Nathan, afraid to face her angry master.
"It's alright, Cloud Retainer, I've already mastered all these adeptal arts!"
Nathan played the role of shield, smiling as he helped deflect attention.
Sure enough, the crane's attention was drawn to him.
"What... these are profound arts requiring years of diligent practice to master!"
"No, Cloud Retainer, I really have learned them all!"
Nathan shook his head helplessly - who made him be in this life simulation?
The system's rewards were automatically integrated upon receipt.
He demonstrated each art one by one, following her list.
Actually, these adeptal arts were quite similar to those in Journey to the West.
Visualization was the art of deducing cause and effect! Understanding All Things was like the Fire Eyes!
Dream Walking and Possession was like astral projection, and Transformation was naturally the power of changing forms!
Cloud Retainer's reaction changed from shock at the first demonstration to numbness by the last.
What to do when your disciple is too talented and more capable than the master? Urgent, please respond!
The teaching seemed to have ended before it began.
No!
Cloud Retainer shook her head. She had to maintain her last shred of dignity as a master. She would have to bring out her ultimate technique.
"Ahem, since you've already mastered the adeptal arts, this adeptus will teach you one unique technique!"
The crane waved her wings, and from the shadows beside them emerged a three-meter-tall automaton.
"How's that? This is this adeptus's carefully researched mechanistic art!"
Watching Nathan's curious expression, Cloud Retainer thought, 'Surely he couldn't have mastered this too!'
[Observed automaton structure, obtained Purple quality talent - Advanced Mechanistic Arts!]
However, Cloud Retainer never expected that her ultimate secret technique would be instantly decoded by the simulator system.
"Cloud Retainer... is it like this?"
After obtaining this purple talent, Nathan instantly grasped its essence.
The main principle was using elemental power to form a core, then using the core to power these mechanical constructs.
"No way! No way! No way!"
Watching Nathan raise his hand, Cloud Retainer frantically shook her head internally, hoping her disciple hadn't really learned it.
"BOOM!!!"
In Nathan's palm appeared a round light jade.
As it rose into the air, the surrounding earth began to tremor.
Stones, minerals, metals - all these elements began converging toward the light jade.
Starting from the head, then the massive body, finally to the arms and legs.
What emerged was even more impressive than the previous automaton, a giant standing dozens of meters tall.
If Cloud Retainer could see Nathan's past life memories, she would have surely exclaimed: "I taught you mechanistic arts, and you built a Gundam?!"
Indeed, the automaton now standing was modeled after the mechs from anime he'd watched in his previous life.
To stay true to the original, he even colored it in blue and white.
Of course, this was just similar in appearance to a Gundam, without the advanced systems and weapons.
Essentially, it was still just an automaton made of various metallic elements.
But that didn't matter, because it looked cool.
Only sissies like women, real men pilot mechs (laughs)
"Brother... amazing!"
See? Even Ganyu hugging him was attracted by the Gundam's charm.
"Cloud Retainer... is there anything I need to improve about my mechanistic art?"
But to Nathan's question, the crane just raised her eyebrows.
If Cloud Retainer were in human form now, she would definitely be wearing an expression of speechlessness.
When the disciple surpasses the master, the old wave dies on the beach.
What was there left to teach? Nothing, absolutely nothing!
"Hmph, this adeptus thinks you should first consolidate what you've learned!"
The crane was quite unwilling to admit defeat but could only turn away tsundere-style.
This was her first lesson teaching Nathan, and probably would be the last!
However, at this moment, the life simulator in his mind stirred again.
[Having learned all the adeptus arts, daily life begins its long course!]
[Time acceleration begins... one year... two years... three years...]
As the simulator began counting, the scenes around Nathan started changing rapidly.
These were scenes of daily life with Ganyu and his master, replaying like a slideshow in his mind.
[Three years have passed, today is an important day!]
[The Dust God Guizhong and the Geo God Morax have come up the mountain to visit their friend.]
[They've come to visit the adeptus abode, life simulation continues...]
