You promised yourself to be a caged bird, but you became the supreme young master?

"What kind of Qi Refining Realm are you referring to when you said 'one year of Qi Refining Realm'?"

After being shocked one after another, Lu Jinnian, who had already entered the realm of cultivation and become a cultivator, felt a blockage in his body and mind and spoke up once again.

This time, however, he himself did not realize that his voice was trembling.

"As you expected." Lu Heng sighed inwardly again. Why did they have to come again?

He was genuinely afraid that he might accidentally crush Lu Jinnian.

That wasn't his intention, but some things are beyond his control.

Especially other people's imaginations.

The most dangerous thing is a correct interpretation of what's to come.

"Looks like I've really latched onto a powerful patron..." Lu Jinnian finally sighed in relief, and then spoke.

"Congratulations then," Lu Heng teased.

"Go to hell!" Lu Jinnian cursed angrily.

"If that's the case, then I shouldn't be able to spend a year in the Qi Refining Secret Realm?" After thinking for a moment, Lu Heng asked.

"No, Ah Heng, if that's the case, then you should definitely become a Qi Refining Realm cultivator within a year!"

Knowing what Lu Heng was thinking, Lu Jinnian rejected the idea and explained.

"With a genius's cultivation speed, it is very normal to reach the Qi Refining Secret Realm in a year."

Rather, it would be more accurate to say that if a cultivation genius cannot reach the Qi Refining Secret Realm within a year, then their true talent should be questioned.

You should enter the Qi Refining Realm as soon as possible.

Only in this way will your master not doubt your potential to reach the perfect level of the Basic Body Refinement Method.

Guys like Lu Mingze, who are cultivation geniuses but have been stuck in the Body Refining Secret Realm for years and are trying to break through the Basic Body Refining Method, are truly courting death!

As a cultivation genius, only by quickly breaking through to the Qi Refining Secret Realm and giving up the possibility of becoming a True Person can one hope to be trusted by the master's family.

At a time like this, I think no one would believe that you could perfect the Basic Body Refinement Method within a year.

After saying so much in one breath, Lu Jinnian seemed thirsty and took a sip of the tea that had long since gone cold, without caring about the fact that it had been sitting aside.

The tea was slightly bitter, but had a sweet aftertaste.

"Aheng, I'm wondering what kind of talent you have?"

Even top-tier comprehension talent shouldn't be this outrageous, right?

But your performance clearly shows that you can't possibly be a prodigy.

Could this be the legendary top genius whose talent in certain areas has already reached the lower limit of genius?

As he sipped his tea, Lu Jinnian remarked with emotion.

"You don't know, so why would I?" Lu Heng replied irritably.

I think Lu Jinnian is probably just talking nonsense.

"A top genius."

If only Ah Heng, you were born into the Lord's family.

Currently, even the main family doesn't have a single top genius.

"In that case, becoming a True Immortal of Spirit Refinement is not impossible." Lu Jinnian's eyes darted around as he couldn't help but speak up.

"I don't think it's good," Lu Heng replied seriously.

If he had been born into the main branch of the Lu family, the clash of values ​​between his two lifetimes would probably have made him quite uncomfortable.

Lu Heng is very satisfied with himself now.

Moreover, in that case, wouldn't it be much more difficult to find a reason to settle scores with the world?

Lu Heng was ultimately not the kind of ruthless person who would prepare to cleanse the entire world just by saying that it was corrupt.

He thought he would be in a very difficult position if he were born into a Christian family.

"I don't understand you."

But Ah Heng, have you thought about the future?

It is said that even a caged bird separated from its family, or a True Immortal of Spirit Refinement, cannot escape its cage.

Lu Jinnian shook his head and said no more, but instead asked a question.

"Let's talk about it then," Lu Heng replied casually, already having a solution in mind.

Oh, right.

Ah Heng, you shouldn't have forgotten, there's a martial arts competition in ten days, right?

Lu Jinnian poured himself a cup of tea and reminded him.

"Of course, is there anything worth noting?"

Knowing that Lu Jinnian wouldn't bring this up without a reason, Lu Heng asked the question as he went along with it.

"Lu Mingze should have explained all the things you should pay attention to at the registration desk, according to the regulations, right?"

Lu Jinnian spoke after taking a sip of tea.

"Yes, there is." Lu Heng poured himself a cup of tea and nodded.

"Did you collect the basic combat tactics he mentioned as part of the benefits?" Lu Jinnian continued to ask.

"No, I was originally planning to ask for your opinion later before making a decision," Lu Heng replied frankly.

"In that case, I think you should put the training of combat techniques on your agenda, Ah Heng."

The martial arts competition will take place ten days later, and the first external assessment will take place three months later.

All of them inevitably involve elements of armed conflict.

After all, for the vast majority of people, the Body Refining Secret Realm is almost the limit.

Therefore, combat tactics must be practiced.

At such a time, if one only focuses on cultivation and neglects to practice combat techniques, one may be severely injured.

Every year, some students from the School of Foreign Languages ​​waste several months because of this, and are ultimately eliminated from the school.

Lu Jinnian offered suggestions and gave his reasons.

"If there's no grudge between us, why would you do this?" Lu Heng asked, somewhat puzzled.

Using excessive force when there is no enmity can create a deep-seated hatred.

Under the current conditions, this kind of thing only has disadvantages and no advantages, so at least in the outer department, there shouldn't be many people who would do it.

"Of course it can't be like that. The reason it is is that the number of people eliminated from the Foreign Languages ​​Department is fixed."

Lu Jinnian sighed and gave his answer.

"I see." Lu Heng suddenly realized.

Under the bottom-ranking elimination system, if you don't eliminate others, you will be eliminated by others and fall into the ranks outside the School of Foreign Languages, which almost cuts off all possibilities of advancement.

In such a violent fight, the person attacking the opponent fights with all their might.

If one more person is eliminated, I might be spared.

"What Dark Forest?!" Lu Heng couldn't help but exclaim.

"What is the Dark Forest?" Lu Jinnian asked curiously.

"It's nothing, I just saw it in a book," Lu Heng explained casually.

One of the benefits of reading a lot is that you can easily fill in the gaps in your knowledge.

"That's true." After listening, Lu Jinnian nodded in agreement.

"Jin Nian, which basic combat tactic do you think I should choose?" Lu Heng asked.

There's no fixed answer to this; it all depends on whether it's suitable or not.

I think you can just pick one you like, Ah Heng.

However, it's best to choose weapons and avoid basic combat techniques related to fists and feet.

In the Body Refining Secret Realm, the physical body is ultimately no match for a spiritual weapon forged from spirit iron.

Lu Jinnian suggested.

"Then I'll choose basic swordsmanship," Lu Heng decided.

"Why?" Lu Jinnian asked, puzzled.

"Popular users, and... handsome!"

Lu Heng knew that being strong was a temporary thing, but being handsome was a lifelong thing.

A full house of flowers drunk three thousand guests, a sword of frost and cold fourteen states.

What were beautiful verses of fantasy in a past life can actually become reality in this world!

"Um... that works too."

Lu Jinnian was speechless for a moment, but felt there was nothing wrong with it, so he was indifferent to the matter.

As the saying goes, for practitioners, the most important thing is still the practice itself.

Tactics and such are merely secondary details.

In comparison, while the tactics themselves may be important as methods of protection, they are ultimately incomparable.

The young man before me grasped the essence from the very beginning!
