Vol.2 – Chapter 62 – Who is this kid?


Upon hearing this, the disciples of Shu Mountain around them became restless. They didn’t know what was being discussed, but they felt that this young man was being a bit too pretentious!

How could he talk about reaching the Perfect Cycle as if it was as easy as drinking soup? Sister Jiang was the one who had truly reached the fourth realm of the Perfect Cycle, a feat that could be considered unparalleled!

What was this third realm cultivator trying to show off? Even if he was trying to attract the attention of Fairy Jiang, he was going a bit too far!

Immediately, someone sarcastically said:

“This junior brother is so impressive, he must have reached the Perfect Cycle too, right?” Laughter echoed from below.

Chu Liang was quite helpless about this. He had answered subconsciously while watching the big-headed doll pondering and smoking, and he was definitely not lying.

But he couldn’t prove it to everyone. All he could do was smile and reply:

“I was fortunate enough to briefly reach the Perfect Cycle under the assistance of Miss Xue from the South Sound Pavilion. I gained some minor insights. I’m sure I don’t understand as much as you senior brothers. If I said something wrong, please correct me.” The moment these words came out, the whole place fell silent again.

Oh, so you really did reach the Perfect Cycle in the third realm. That’s fine then. And you’re asking for advice… If it’s about the Assisting Wave Song, everyone here should know about it, and some people should have heard it.

But to have a disciple of the South Sound Pavilion of Xue Lingxue’s caliber specifically use this song to assist you in your cultivation.

What kind of treatment is that? Who could experience that casually? Not to mention anything else, if all the people here were given the same treatment, the number of people who could reach the Perfect Cycle would probably not exceed ten!

Even with external assistance, one’s deep understanding of the cultivation technique is equally important. This point was clear to all the discerning people present.

Thinking deeper, what kind of relationship does he have with Miss Xue to receive such treatment? It’s too shocking to think about.

The male disciples looked at Chu Liang, feeling their molars unconsciously clenching. Thinking about this third realm junior brother having such experiences was more unbearable than killing them.

Especially now, under everyone’s watchful eyes, he was having a private conversation with Fairy Jiang that only the two of them could understand. It was simply infuriating!

But when Jiang Yuebai heard him say this, she seemed to recall something, and she nodded slightly.

“This question is very valuable, I will study it further. Thank you, junior brother, you can sit down now.” She said lightly.

“…Alright.” Chu Liang could only respond.

“Are there any other questions?” Jiang Yuebai asked as she looked around. Everyone was eager to ask, but suddenly saw a person in front raising his hand high, and everyone immediately gave up.

Because the person who raised his hand was Xu Ziyang, the eldest brother of Jade Sword Peak, who had a high reputation on Shu Mountain! Who would dare to compete with him?

“Please.” Jiang Yuebai said. Xu Ziyang stood up abruptly, his eyebrows like swords and his eyes like stars, his figure upright. He was like a sharp sword, and his presence immediately quieted the crowd by a third.

“I want to ask, you said that even without a special physique, one can reach the Perfect Cycle. This should have been confirmed by seniors, but…” Xu Ziyang frowned,

“I have also tried to run my cultivation technique at full speed under the influence of elixirs, feeling that I have reached the peak, but I can never touch… This confusion is not easy for ordinary people to express. The reason is simple. If an ordinary disciple asks… you say that an ordinary physique can do it, but why can’t I? People will think he is here to cause trouble, and everyone will rebuke him, saying that even among ordinary physiques, his talent is insufficient, and he should reflect on himself. But Xu Ziyang, everyone would default to the fact that without a fairy physique, he is a cultivator with a talent ceiling. He is a true genius. If he can’t do it even with the help of elixirs, then no one can.

“Hmm…” Jiang Yuebai pondered. This question was not easy to answer. If she directly said that Xu Ziyang was weak, it wouldn’t be very good, but there were too many people who couldn’t reach the Perfect Cycle, and he was not the only one.

Everyone had different reasons, how could she explain them one by one? And at this moment… a voice rang in Xu Ziyang’s ear.

“Are you a stupid pig?!” It was the voice of his master, Wang Xuanling, coming from somewhere, and only Xu Ziyang could hear it,

“You’ve put the girl in a difficult position! How do you expect her to answer?” Xu Ziyang’s eyes flashed with surprise as he replied to the distant voice:

“But Master, didn’t you ask me to ask questions…”

“I asked you to ask questions so that you could interact with her, get to know her, and make a friend in the future. What are you doing? Ruining the atmosphere?” Wang Xuanling was frustrated, feeling that his disciple was even more straightforward than his sword.

This disciple was good at everything and was very much like him. But when it came to “emotional intelligence”, he was a disaster.

He had been watching for a long time, urging Xu Ziyang to ask a question quickly, to show himself in front of Jiang Yuebai. Who knew that as soon as he opened his mouth, he would stiffen the atmosphere and leave no room for the other party to step down.

And Jiang Yuebai was indeed seriously considering this question. Seeing that she was stuck, Wang Xuanling decided that if it really didn’t work, he would step in and help Jiang Yuebai solve this problem.

There were some things she couldn’t directly tell Xu Ziyang, but it was okay for him to say them as a master. He could just say that his disciple’s cultivation was not up to par.

Just as the awkward atmosphere was rising, a clear voice suddenly rang out from the back of the crowd.

“It’s probably because the support is not complete.” In this silent moment, this voice immediately attracted everyone’s attention. When they looked over, they found that it was the same disciple who had asked the question earlier!

Why did he stand up again? Sigh. In fact, Chu Liang was also sighing in his heart. He didn’t want to always stand out like this, knowing that it might annoy people.

But seeing that Sister Jiang was about to lose face, he couldn’t help but help her. Moreover, he had studied this question.

When he returned from South Gate City, he was still not satisfied with Xue Lingxue’s support and tried to replicate it himself.

At that time, he had spent a lot of money on elixirs that promoted the circulation of true qi, but found that it was still not working. After further research, he discovered the reason.

“To reach the Perfect Cycle, it’s not enough to just have the support of true qi circulation. It requires a comprehensive enhancement of essence, qi, and spirit.” Chu Liang explained.This was the experience he had gained from his previous attempts. After his previous failures, he concluded that the reason why merely promoting the circulation of true qi was ineffective was because Xue Lingxue’s Surging Wave Supportive Melody encompassed vitality, spirit, and even elements like fighting spirit and bloodlust.

Jiang Yuebai’s Immortal Spirit Body should have the same effect. Other methods were hard to achieve such comprehensive support, and he suspected that even those predecessors who had achieved the Perfect Cycle in history must have had some means to provide comprehensive support.

Relying solely on one’s own power was indeed impossible, as Xu Ziyang’s failure had proven. Regardless, he could be considered the pinnacle of pure talent.

Only then did he give up, because it was indeed difficult to achieve. Moreover, even if it could be achieved, the cost was too high and not a sustainable method.

With the big-headed doll working for free, Chu Liang especially didn’t need to pay such a high price himself – if you can’t lead a team, you can only work yourself to death.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuebai showed a thoughtful expression again. She knew very well that Chu Liang was not talking nonsense, but was hitting the nail on the head. However, she was a bit puzzled immediately after.

Chu Liang said that he had only let Xue Lingxue play the zither once, briefly entering the Perfect Cycle. But his understanding was so profound, it didn’t seem like it was for a short time at all!

How many times had he listened to the zither, how many times had he entered… Jiang Yuebai began to have some doubts. Xu Ziyang also turned his head, looking at Chu Liang, his eyes filled with contemplation.

He didn’t have any arrogance about his own status, but thought that Chu Liang made sense and wanted to ask another question.

“You’re saying, if one can achieve comprehensive support of vitality and spirit, it’s possible?” He asked.

“Not absolutely, this needs to be based on the understanding and application of the cultivation method reaching the peak. After that, if one can fully support it… it should be successful.” Chu Liang answered.

Xu Ziyang pondered for a moment before nodding, “I’ll give it a try, thank you.”

“No need to be polite.” Chu Liang smiled. After helping Jiang Yuebai out of her predicament, he sat down leisurely. But the crowd’s gaze focused on him, filled with astonishment and surprise.

If they hadn’t heard wrong, he was teaching Brother Xu Ziyang, right? After teaching Fairy Jiang, he was teaching Xu Ziyang, neither of the two prodigies of Shu Mountain who loved reading could compare to him?

My god. Who exactly is this third realm kid? At this moment of shock and doubt among the crowd, dark clouds quietly enveloped the Bi Luo Peak, and in an instant, a rain began to fall.

Golden rain.
