Chapter 226
Even so, he knew that when his Soul Forging Cultivation increases, he will be able to comprehend more from the insights taught to him by Old Man Garvin .
At that time, entering the Sixth and Seventh Stage won't be far from him anymore, even without the help of Fallen Heaven .
But with Fallen Heaven, this process might be increased in speed by the level and amount of soul essences he devours .
Ultimately, everything still ended up on Fallen Heaven to take care of him . To this, Davis was not at all amused as he wanted to have his own power surpassing that of Fallen Heaven's .
It was the third year from the time he was taken as a 'disciple' by Garvin and Davis was quite proud to say that he was adept at Soul Forging Cultivation .
After all, if he weren't adept, then it would've taken a long time for him to build a foundation in Soul Forging Cultivation for stepping into the latter stages .
In the same unchanged dimly lit room, Garvin sighed to Davis's boasting, "If only I had your potential and a teacher who would impart everything without reserve during my youth, sigh . . . "
Garvin Woller had realized that Davis being this talented and strong in his age was no accident .
If he were Davis, he imagined that he would break through to the Immortal Stage within a thousand years; minimum .
A state which he wouldn't even have to worry about dying of aging anymore! Or at least, that's what the world knew about the so-called Immortals .
"If only I had your cultivation base right now . . . " Davis sighed, lying on the bed with one of his hands placed on his chin .
Garvin turned to look at him, "Greedy bastard! Your strength at your age is already envious enough!"
'Clearly, this little bastard doesn't know what asking for an inch, yet taking a yard means!' Garvin thought hatefully as he stared daggers at Davis .
Davis chuckled and realized something, "Oh . . . Since you have seen the wide part of the world, then how would I compare to those geniuses from the major powers?"
His eyes flashed .
He was truly interested in knowing where he stood among the younger generation geniuses . Of course, he held no competitive feelings, it was just pure curiosity!
Garvin narrowed his eyes and replied in a solemn tone yet dissatisfied tone, "Any old fart would want you to be their disciple . In terms of Soul Forging Cultivation, you alone can wipe the floor with these so-called geniuses . "
Davis half-believing glanced at Garvin's eyes . He couldn't detect any change of expression on his face either .
'His evaluation of me must be appropriate . . . ' Davis thought and was quite satisfied .
Then, he suddenly remembered something, "What about in terms of Body Tempering Cultivation and Essence Gathering Cultivation? How do I compare?"
Garvin lifted up his chin and thought for a moment, he then answered, "Though your Body Tempering Cultivation is on par with most geniuses, your Essence Gathering Cultivation is lagging way behind . . . "
Davis nodded his head calmly . To this, he wasn't surprised . He was already 15 years old and was nearing 16 .
Even though it meant there were sixteen-year-old Body Transformation Stage Cultivators, Davis wasn't fazed at all because he knew that humans were more compatible with Essence Gathering Cultivation .
'But to think there was strong Body Tempering Cultivators at my age . . . What kind of monsters are they?' Davis thought .
After all, he had experienced a previous life and was quite used to pain, and as a result, could train Body Tempering Cultivation with a forbearing will .
'Do the major powers have a secret method to cultivate the body at such a young age?' Davis developed some kind of strange thoughts in his head .
Meanwhile, Garvin looked at Davis and chuckled as he interpreted Davis's question in a different way, 'This brat is surprisingly competitive and clever, good!'
The more Davis was like this, the more he had his chances of getting his revenge fulfilled!
"You are both a prodigy and a genius!" Garvin smiled, 'No matter what! I must use my remaining life to teach this boy to the fullest of my extent!'
His almost dead eyes were filled with deep emotions!
"What exactly does a prodigy mean?" Davis confusedly asked as he heard a new term .
Garvin furrowed his brows, silently cursing his fate . He never would've thought that one day, he would have to explain so much to a brat who wasn't even his disciple; in a formal sense .
But since he had decided long ago not to hold back anything when teaching him, he spoke, "A prodigy is a person who has achieved great cultivation results despite their young age . "
Old Man Garvin grinned, "For example, you . "
"Your age is merely 15, and generally speaking, that is when children your age start cultivating their soul as they completed their breakthrough into the Revolving Core Stage . "
"When even they are considered prodigies, much less is needed to be said about you . "
"Huh? Then what about geniuses? Aren't they both the same thing then?" Davis confusedly asked .
"No, it's different . A genius is an individual who can jump levels to fight other people of the same cultivation stage, not the same cultivation base . "
"Common people like to either designate one as a common cultivator or a genius/prodigy cultivator . They don't know that for us top powerhouses, there's a huge difference between being a prodigy and a genius . "
"Almost everyone with ample resources could be a prodigy, but not every prodigy can be a genius . The gap separating a genius and a prodigy is very large . "
"Of course, if one could cultivate to the highest stage possible in all three cultivation systems within 1,000 years, then it doesn't matter if that person is a genius or not since that person's potential would be boundless when compared to other geniuses . "
"Unfortunately, there are no such great beings in the 52 Territories . " Old Man Garvin slowly replied as he revealed a pitiful expression for the state of the geniuses .
