After obtaining the talents of Unlimited Cooldown and Divine Chant, Chen Luo found that proficiency was no issue for his skill level progression.
Beyond S-rank, skill level breakthroughs were more about pursuing ethereal connections.
Among the tens of thousands of skills Chen Luo had mastered, many had been forcefully pushed to SS-rank through his powerful arcane mage affinity and his own formidable strength.
However, breaking through to SSS-rank seemed a distant prospect.
But the "Mutual Growth Through Teaching" effect offered Chen Luo another possibility.
An individual's wisdom was limited most of the time, but when the wisdom of many was gathered, it could often fill the gaps in personal intellect.
Simply put, as long as Chen Luo taught enough students and imparted enough skills.
Then Chen Luo could share every trace of understanding his students gained throughout their lives for those skills.
Accumulating earth forms mountains, and wind and rain arise from them.
Accumulating water forms abysses, and dragons are born from them.
By gathering the collective insights of millions of humans, Chen Luo was confident he could elevate any skill to SSS-rank.
Perhaps, there was even a slim chance to advance skills further!
After contemplating the crucial aspects, Chen Luo, with a burning gaze, spoke to those beside him at the dinner table:
"The teaching plan needs to be revised."
But as soon as Chen Luo finished speaking, a piece of freshly peeled, tender shrimp meat was stuffed into his mouth.
"Alright, alright, our great teacher, you've been busy all afternoon and haven't rested properly."
"So! We'll discuss the teaching plan after dinner! It's mealtime now!"
"Here, eat."
Looking at Hu Tao, whose eyes had curved into crescents as she peeled more shrimp for him,
Chen Luo gently chewed the sweet shrimp meat and smiled.
That's right, a balance between work and rest was the proper way.
In the past month, he had only visited Starfire City three times, and each time he had rushed to complete his tasks before hurrying to other places he hadn't yet surveyed.
Come to think of it, he hadn't eaten or slept properly in over a month.
After being so busy for so long, he really should relax first.
Temporarily setting aside the plan in his mind, Chen Luo looked at the concerned faces around the table and said in a relaxed tone,
"Alright, don't look at me like that. I've just been awake for a month and traversed the Great Yan, which has expanded tenfold."
"Okay, the more I say, the more your eyes look at me strangely!"
"Fine! Let's not talk about these things for now. I'll tell you about my experiences over the past month."
A month ago, in the Imperial Capital, Chen Luo had already recorded all the data and archives of the entire Great Yan in his mind.
Over the past month, because the world had expanded tenfold, the previously retained map information could only serve as a reference.
And Chen Luo, in order to save any potential survivors, had tirelessly traversed every inch of the Great Yan.
Along the way, Chen Luo had also witnessed many sights he had never seen before.
As Chen Luo narrated, the girls at the table couldn't help but stop their chopsticks,
Following Chen Luo's words, the girls seemed to see a young man on a wondrous journey, traveling north to the sea and west to Cangwu, seeing thousands of miles of mountains and rivers in a single day.
...
After a lively dinner,
Su Xiao, who was routinely freeloading meals, waved goodbye and left the City Lord's Mansion to head home.
The two little ones, once again, clung to Chen Luo's arms dependently.
If Hu Tao hadn't held back Yueyue, seeing the beast-eared girl's eager expression, she probably would have jumped directly onto Chen Luo.
Thus, Chen Luo, with the two pendants, and Hu Tao pulling the watchful Yueyue, walked towards the bathroom together.
"Alright, you two go wash up with Hu Tao. Master hasn't bathed in a month, let me soak properly alone, otherwise I'll start to smell."
Chen Luo's words were purely a joke.
After achieving True Transformation, his body already possessed a slight characteristic of being untouched by dust.
Even after a month without washing, no dirt would accumulate on him, and due to his high life level, he would even exude a faint, alluring scent.
The two little ones reluctantly released Chen Luo's arms and walked to Hu Tao's side, looking back repeatedly.
And Hu Tao, forcefully suppressing a certain beast-eared girl who wanted to rush into the bath with Chen Luo:
"Awooo! (Master! I'll wash with you!)"
Chen Luo decisively refused upon hearing this:
"No! You've grown up, behave yourself and wash with the girls!"
He used to bring Yueyue into the bathroom because he didn't know she could transform. Back then, it was quite fun to bathe with a pet.
As for now, looking at the young-looking beast-eared girl, Chen Luo shook his head.
Too much, too much!
But Yueyue didn't understand Chen Luo's concerns. She honestly lowered her head, looked at her chest, and then at Hu Tao beside her, as if she understood something, and said:
"Sm... Smaller...."
"Wuu... (This is growing up... I understand...)"
Hu Tao, on the other hand, although she couldn't understand Yueyue's beast language, she clearly understood the first human words!
*Bang!*
A fair little fist landed squarely on the beast-eared girl's head.
Hu Tao, huffing, pulled the dizzy Yueyue and the reluctant two little ones, and walked towards the bathroom without looking back.
Leaving Chen Luo standing there with a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth:
"This silly wolf..."
