Chapter 165: Chapter 62: Who is this kid? 【Seeking monthly ticket!】_1

"..."

At these words, the surrounding Shu Mountain disciples could hardly sit still.

Although they didn’t know what they were talking about, this kid was surely putting on a bit too much of a show!

How was he able to speak about achieving the Perfect Zhou Tian as easily as drinking soup? Senior Sister Jiang had truly reached the Fourth Realm’s Perfect Zhou Tian, which was an unparalleled achievement! What was a Third Realm he doing acting so haughty?

Even if he was trying to draw Immortal Jiang’s attention, this was just too forceful!

Someone immediately sneered in a taunting tone: "This Junior Brother is so amazing, I guess you’ve certainly reached the Perfect Zhou Tian, right?"

There were bursts of mocking laughter from the crowd.

Chu Liang was rather helpless about this.

He had subconsciously responded to this while watching Big Head Baby, lost in thought amidst the smoke, so his response was certainly not false.

But there was no way to prove this to everyone.

All he could do was smile and respond politely: "I once had the fortune, under the enhancement of Miss Xue from the Southern Music Pavilion’s Song of the Waves, to momentarily reach the Perfect Zhou Tian. Thus, I have some slight insights. I am sure it’s not as profound as Senior Brothers’, and if there are any errors in my understanding, I kindly ask for your advice."

Once these words were spoken, the venue fell into silence, catching everyone off guard.

Oh, so you have really achieved the Perfect Zhou Tian in the Third Realm...

Then there is nothing wrong.

And you’re open to advice...

If they talk about the Song of the Waves, everyone present would certainly know, some would have heard it. But to have Xue Lingxue, a disciple of the Southern Music Pavilion of her level, to support your cultivation with this song specifically...

What kind of treatment is that? Not everyone can experience it casually.

Not to mention anything else, given the same treatment to everyone here, the ones that could have reached the Perfect Zhou Tian would probably not exceed ten! Even with external aid, one’s profound understanding of the cultivation technique is also crucial. This point is clear to everyone present who has a discerning eye.

Thinking further, what kind of relationship does he have with Miss Xue that he could enjoy such a treatment?

It was too outrageous to think deeply about it.

The male disciples looking at Chu Liang felt their teeth clench unconsciously. Imagining this Third Realm Junior Brother having this experience tortured them more than being killed.

Moreover, he was having a cryptic conversation that only two people could understand, under everyone’s eyes with Immortal Jiang, equivalent to a public private chat, which was incredibly offensive!

But Jiang Yuebai seemed to have thought of something when he said this, she disengaged from her contemplative state and nodded gently.

"This question has value, and I will continue to explore it further later. Thank you, Junior Brother. Please take a seat," she said indifferently.

"...Alright," Chu Liang could only respond.

"Any other questions?" Jiang Yuebai asked as she scanned the crowd.

Just as everyone was eager to speak, they saw someone up front raising his hand high, and everyone immediately dropped their ideas.

Because the one who raised his hand was well-respected among Shu Mountain, the Eldest Senior Brother of Jade Sword Peak, Xu Ziyang!

Who would dare to compete with him?

"Please," Jiang Yuebai said.

Xu Ziyang abruptly stood up, his eyebrows sharp, and his figure straight. He was like a sharp sword, and his radiant aura further pacified the whole hall by a threefold.

"I wanted to ask, you said without the aid of a special constitution one can reach the Perfect Zhou Tian, this should also have been verified by a predecessor, but..." Xu Ziyang frowned, "I have also tried running my cultivation at full speed under elixir enhancements, yet I always feel like I’m at peak but couldn’t touch it..."

This confusion is not something that people usually share.

The reason was simple.

If an ordinary disciple asked... you said someone with a regular constitution can do it, so why can’t I?

Someone would surely think he is just trying to stir up trouble and the crowd would rebuke him. They would say, your talent is insufficient even among those with ordinary constitution, you should reflect upon yourself.

But when it comes to Xu Ziyang, everyone automatically assumes that without the Immortal Spirit Body, he is someone with the highest level of cultivation talent.

He is a true prodigy.

If he can’t do it even with elixir enhancement, then it is impossible for anyone else.

"Hmm..." Jiang Yuebai mused.

This was indeed a difficult question to answer.

If she directly says that Xu Ziyang is weak, it’s not quite right. But there are so many people who couldn’t achieve Perfect Zhou Tian, one more like him doesn’t matter, everyone has a different reason, how can she address each one?

And just then...

A voice echoed in Xu Ziyang’s ear.

"Are you an idiot?!" Astonishingly, it was the voice of his master, Wang Xuanling, mysteriously resonating from somewhere. Only Xu Ziyang could hear, "You’ve put that poor girl in a tight spot! How is she supposed to answer?"

Confusion flickered in Xu Ziyang’s eyes as he responded telepathically towards the distance, "Wasn’t it you, Master, who told me to ask the question..."

"I wanted you to interact with her, to familiarize yourselves with each other so you can become friends in the future. What on earth are you doing? Are you trying to ruin things?"

As disappointed as if iron couldn’t turn into steel, Wang Xuanling felt his student was more straightforward than his sword.

This student of his was perfect in all aspects, just like him except for the part about ’Emotional Quotient’, an outright disaster.

He had been observing for a while, urging Xu Ziyang to promptly ask a question and show off in front of Jiang Yuebai. Who knew that as soon as he opened his mouth, the atmosphere froze with not even the semblance of face-saving measure left for the other party.

Yet, Jiang Yuebai was indeed considering the question seriously. Seeing the predicament she was in, Wang Xuanling decided to step in and help Jiang Yuebai resolve this conundrum if necessary. There were some things she couldn’t directly say to Xu Ziyang, but as her master, he could indeed clarify that the disciple’s cultivation wasn’t complete.

Just when the awkward atmosphere was gradually building up, a clear voice rang out from behind the crowd.

"It could be due to incomplete augmentation."

At a time when the whole audience fell silent, the voice immediately grabbed everyone’s attention. When they turned to look, they found it was the same disciple who had asked the question before!

Why was he standing up again?

Sigh.

In fact, Chu Liang was also sighing to himself.

He didn’t desire to make a spectacle of himself, aware that it could potentially draw ire. But seeing Senior Sister Jiang on the verge of losing face, he couldn’t help but aid her.

Moreover, he had previously studied the problem at hand.

Upon returning from Southern Border City, intrigued by Xue Lingxue’s augmentation, he attempted one of his own.

He had spent a handsome sum on an elixir promoting True Qi operation only to find that it was ineffective. Later, he researched intensively and discovered the reason.

"To achieve the Perfect Cycle, it doesn’t solely rely on the augmentation of True Qi operation, but calls for an all-round improvement that combines Essence, Qi, and Spirit," explained Chu Liang.

This was the experience he had gained from prior attempts.

After previous failures, he concluded that the reason why solely promoting True Qi operation was futile, was because Xue Lingxue’s ’Song of the Waves’ also includes the augmentation of Essence, Qi, Spirit, valor, and bloodlust.

The effect of Jiang Yuebai’s Immortal Spirit Body should be similar.

The other methods seldom provide such a comprehensive enhancement, and he suspected that the predecessors who achieved the Perfect Cycle imperatively had a method that offered well-rounded augmentation.

To solely depend on one’s power... Xu Ziyang’s failure indeed testified that it was impossible. In any case, he indeed represented the pinnacle of pure talent.

Only then did he cease his attempts as it was indeed arduous to achieve. Even if it could be reached, the cost was too high and was not a sustainable method.

In circumstances where Big Head Baby was working for free, Chu Liang especially had no need to expend such a huge price in the competition.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuebai showed a thoughtful expression. She understood very well that Chu Liang wasn’t bluffing but hit the nail on the head, yet she was somewhat perplexed afterward.

Chu Liang mentioned that he only had Xue Lingxue play the lute once before, temporarily stepping into the Perfect Cycle. Yet his understanding appeared so profound, it didn’t seem like it was short-lived!

Just how many times had he heard the lute play? How many times had he stepped in... Jiang Yuebai began to doubt.

Xu Ziyang also turned back, looking at Chu Liang, contemplation in his gaze.

He bore no arrogance about keeping his dignity intact, instead, he found Chu Liang’s words reasonable and wanted to inquire further.

"So you’re suggesting that with comprehensive augmentation of Essence, Qi, and Spirit, it would be possible?" he asked.

"It’s not absolute. This needs to be built on the peak of understanding and the application of Cultivation Techniques. If you can then augment comprehensively...It should result in success," Chu Liang responded.

Xu Ziyang mulled over it for a while, then finally nodded, "I’ll give it a try. Thank you."

"Don’t mention it," Chu Liang smiled.

After having relieved the predicament for Jiang Yuebai, he casually sat back down.

But the surrounding crowd focused their gaze on him, their eyes filled with shock and admiration.

If they hadn’t misheard, he was teaching Senior Brother Xu, right?

First, he taught Immortal Jiang, then Xu Ziyang, are the two most promising individuals of Shu Mountain inferior to him?

My god.

Who exactly is this guy from the Third Realm?

At the moment when the entire audience was in astonishment, dark clouds stealthily cast a shadow over Biluo Peak, followed shortly by a downpour.

Golden rain.
