I, the mortal, come from the great world of Xuanhuang

After obtaining a large amount of resources from the proprietress, Fang Yu left the shop and went to other shops. For him, the most important thing right now was to obtain a large amount of resources. Besides exchanging his own things, there was another way to obtain a large amount of resources: by force. Not by robbing or looting, but by fighting in the arena!
This was an easy task for Fang Yu. It could be said that as long as Fang Yu wanted to, he could win many, many matches without any possibility of losing. No one could defeat Fang Yu. Therefore, Fang Yu could be said to be invincible in the following matches, without losing a single one. He achieved absolute victory in every match, and he won with ease.

He instantly became the most charismatic person in the entire royal city, and could be said to have become the ideal husband that countless young girls dreamed of.

But for Fang Yu, the most important thing was the prize he received—the resources. That was the most crucial thing. He didn't care about anything else; he had no interest in paying attention to anything else. However, in this series of duels, he defeated one person: Zhang Ruochen. Originally, Zhang Ruochen should have been invincible, but because of Fang Yu, he suffered a crushing defeat.

Do you have any doubts about your own abilities?

Finding Zhang Ruochen diligently practicing his swordsmanship, Fang Yu smiled and inquired. Zhang Ruochen responded respectfully to Fang Yu's question, for he knew very well that Fang Yu was no ordinary person; he was undoubtedly a very old senior, someone who had lived for a very long time. Otherwise, how could he dare to even insult the Holy Monk? It could be said that in the entire Kunlun Realm, Fang Yu was the only one who dared to insult the Holy Monk.

"It's normal to lose to the Sixth Prince. After all, the Sixth Prince's divine power is invincible. Among those of the same realm, who can be his opponent?"

Zhang Ruochen's answer was very tactful, but it didn't resonate with Fang Yu. Fang Yu coldly replied:
"What you say is true. Within the same realm, I am naturally invincible. You could say that no one in the same realm is my match, and no one will ever be my opponent. You are absolutely right about that. I can tell you this clearly: losing to me is the right thing to do. If you had won, it wouldn't have been a good thing at all. I can also tell you this. For you, it's better to lose to me. Being too outstanding easily attracts attention, and attention from others is not a good thing, especially given your current status. It's not an ordinary status. Your status is quite special, and I think you should know that. I don't need to elaborate; you should understand this. If you don't understand, then let me repeat it again: your status is extremely special. You're not just a former crown prince, now a prince, but you also have another identity. As for what that other identity is, you don't need to worry about it. In short, this identity gives you an unprecedented status and can bring you endless..." Crisis. Each of these crises could cost you your life, and I hope you understand that. If you don't, then there's nothing I can do for you. In short, these crises will give you the opportunity to become stronger in this world, but they can also cost you your life if you're not careful—that's just how it is. Many things in this world are caused by many people; you could say that every single thing in the world has a cause and effect, and I hope you understand that. What you need to do now is not to stand out too much. On the contrary, you need to be low-key, extremely low-key, as low-key as possible, you absolutely must be low-key. If you're not low-key, then you will face many, many crises, and you might not even be able to save yourself. You could say that each of those crises could cost you your life. Whether you believe it or not, I'm saying all this in the hope that you can live longer, that you can become stronger, and that you won't lose your life in the future because of your own foolishness. Everything you've planned is actually very naive. Everything you've planned is actually quite naive, extremely naive, no different from children playing house, completely identical. Everything you're doing now is worthwhile, but I hope you can continue to keep a low profile and stop being so flamboyant. Being so flamboyant won't do you any good, and I hope you understand that. If you continue to be so flamboyant, you might really lose your life. I'm not trying to scare you, but telling you a fact, telling you the truth. If you continue to be so aggressive, you might very well lose your own life. Although you have a good mother, she can't protect you forever. Of course, I know you want revenge, but I hope you don't have such deep thoughts about revenge, because revenge is not your goal. What is your goal? Your goal is to save the world, to save the entire world, not to think about how to get revenge. That's not what you should be thinking about; you should be thinking about saving the world. I've already made it very clear to you before, this world has... A crisis, a crisis powerful enough to destroy the world, and resolving it requires the collective effort of everyone, not just one or two people. So don't dwell on revenge. While hatred can be motivating, it's merely motivation; it's not the most important thing. Revenge can sometimes blind you, making you lose your rationality, which is detrimental. I hope you can always maintain your composure; it will only benefit you, not harm you. In the face of an impending crisis, a global one at that, losing your rationality means abandoning your last glimmer of hope, your last chance at survival. Frankly, I shouldn't have said so much, because while hatred can indeed make you stronger and accelerate your growth, it can also blind you, leading you to do things you'll regret. I don't want you to do that. Do you know how to forge a divine weapon?”

Fang Yu asked one last question, and this last question left Zhang Ruochen completely bewildered, not understanding what Fang Yu meant or what it was all about.

"A divine artifact must be forged using the rarest materials in the world."

"What you say is both right and wrong. In short, what you say can be considered both right and wrong. Besides the rarest materials in the world, two other things are needed: the hottest fire in the world and the coldest water in the world. And this most intense fire is the fire of hatred, the fire of revenge, and the rage generated by these two things. This is the hottest, most scorching flame. These flames can forge divine weapons, or they can burn people up until they turn to ashes. As for the coldest water in the world, that's something you need to figure out for yourself, not ask me."

"Want to know what the coldest water is? You can figure it out yourself. I've already given you the answer. Whether you can truly understand it depends on your own ability, not on getting the answer from me. To know the coldest water in the world, you need to figure it out yourself. As for how to do that, that depends on your own ability. Anyway, I've said everything I can. It's not that I'm being mysterious or pretentious, but some things are not my responsibility to say; you need to figure them out yourself. Only when you figure it out yourself can you remember it and truly understand it, instead of me explaining it to you bit by bit. That would do you no good; it would only harm you, make you more foolish, not stronger. You need to experience it for yourself, experience life, experience everything in this world, experience your past, and understand whether what you've seen was right or wrong. If what you've seen..." "If it's right, then do it. Do what you believe is right. If what you've seen before was wrong, then I can tell you that everything you're doing now is wrong, and you shouldn't do it anymore. Continuing to do it is like continuing down the wrong path, which will do you no good whatsoever. I hope you understand this. If you still don't understand, then there's nothing I can do, because I've already made myself perfectly clear. Explaining it further won't do you any good. Do you understand now? If you do, then I don't need to say anything more; if you don't, then I won't say anything more either. You need to figure it out yourself. Don't ask me why, don't ask me why I'm saying this, doing this, or telling you these things. Because I have to tell you these things. If I don't tell you, I won't have peace of mind, and I won't be able to face myself. So, if I don't tell you these things, it won't be good for me, so I must tell you."

"Then what exactly do you mean by all this? Why can't I understand at all? Why is that? I can't understand what you're saying at all. What are you trying to tell me? I don't understand, I don't understand." This was something Zhang Ruochen couldn't understand at all. He couldn't understand why Fang Yu was saying so much to him, and he couldn't understand any of it.

“I’ve already made myself very clear. You need to gradually come to understand these things yourself, instead of asking me. You know that? You have to figure these things out for yourself. If you don’t, it only means one thing: you’re becoming increasingly stupid. Honestly, you need to understand, comprehend, and contemplate these things little by little, instead of asking someone like me. You need to explore them yourself.”

"I've said everything I can say, and I've also said what I shouldn't say. To be honest, telling you these things could be dangerous for me, it could be fatal."

"I shouldn't be telling you these things. Telling you so soon might not be a good thing for you, but I feel that if I don't tell you now, I might not have the chance in the future, so I have to tell you now. If I don't tell you now, the consequences will be unpredictable. I hope you can understand my good intentions. If you don't understand and think I'm talking nonsense or deceiving you, then there's nothing I can do. Anyway, I can only say that I've said what I should say and what I shouldn't say. The rest is up to you."

Fang Yu's words left Zhang Ruochen completely bewildered, yet he vaguely understood something. He sensed that Fang Yu wasn't talking nonsense or trying to deceive him, but rather telling him something that couldn't be said openly. This was the only way to ensure their safety and prevent them from being harmed.

Fang Yu didn't care what Zhang Ruochen thought, and left after speaking. Zhang Ruochen also called out Xiao Hei, a large black cat he had some affection for and regarded as his advisor.

"You heard what he just said. What do you think he meant? Was he telling me that what I saw before wasn't the truth, but a lie? But what exactly did he say?"

This was something Zhang Ruochen didn't understand at all. He didn't understand what Fang Yu meant, or what he saw. Could it be related to what happened to the Holy Monk earlier?
But he clearly saw it with his own eyes and witnessed it firsthand, so how could it be fake?
This was completely impossible, not even a tiny bit possible. He didn't understand what Fang Yu meant at all, but he felt that Fang Yu was giving him a reminder, and he had to understand this reminder in order to do things better. If he didn't understand, it wouldn't be a good thing for him.

"Who knows what that guy meant by rambling on and on? Anyway, he's definitely up to no good. And if he were, I'd eat shit!"

The big black cat had absolutely no goodwill towards Fang Yu whatsoever, not even the slightest bit. (End of Chapter)
