Devour: Can you also draw entries from clone projection worlds?

But you didn't join in the fun; you just listened quietly and kept the information in mind.

Your ninth white entry, "Insightful Insight," has come in handy during this period.

You find that when you watch your fellow students spar, you can see the flaws in their moves more clearly than before.

It's not "seeing" it, it's "feeling" it, like something in your mind automatically marks the other person's weakness.

It's a wonderful feeling. You don't need to think or analyze; you just need to look, and then you know "this is where you can attack, and that is where you can break through."

But you didn't use these things in your matches; you just watched and kept them in your mind.

Once you return to the main world, all these things will become your wealth.

You did not witness Dongfang Bubai's death.

It's not that I don't want to go, it's that I can't. Blackwood Cliff is the headquarters of the Sun Moon Cult, heavily guarded. You don't want to risk your life for such a trivial matter.

But as you know, in the end, Linghu Chong, Ren Woxing, Xiang Wentian, and others joined forces and barely managed to defeat Dongfang Bubai.

In fact, the reason why Dongfang Bubai lost was not because his martial arts skills were inferior to theirs, but because of Yang Lianting.

No one could have imagined that Dongfang Bubai, such a top-notch martial arts master, would die at the hands of a man who didn't know martial arts.

When you heard the news, you remained silent for a long time, pondering a question: if Dongfang Bubai hadn't fallen in love with Yang Lianting, would he have survived?

The answer is no answer, but this incident makes you realize one thing more clearly: in the martial arts world, the biggest weakness is never martial arts skills, but people.

Dongfang Bubai's weakness is Yang Lianting, Yue Buqun's weakness is ambition, Zuo Lengchan's weakness is arrogance, and Linghu Chong's weakness should be his strong sense of loyalty.

What is your own weakness?

You've thought about it for a long time, but you still can't figure it out.

It's not because you have no flaws, but because you haven't been truly "seen" by anyone yet.

The biggest advantage of being invisible is that no one knows where your weaknesses lie.

Because you have absolutely no presence.

It's winter again, and you sit in your usual spot on the back of Mount Hua, watching the distant mountains covered in snow.

You are very familiar with this place. You practiced swordsmanship here for five years, thought about many things here, and drew several entries here.

In a few days, it will be the sixth time that entries will be drawn.

You silently went through the vocabulary you currently possessed in your mind: early to bed and early to rise, simple meals, slippery footing, able to locate by sound, photographic memory (disabled), go with the flow, heart of stone, initial sense of danger, initial insight.

You've got nine white-labeled characters. For the tenth one, you hope to get a good one, and you should get a good one. After all, in a way, it fulfills the requirement of a ten-pull and triggers the pity system.

But as you know, the quality and relevance of a term largely depend on where you are when it's being drawn. You need a sufficiently important location to draw this last white term.

What scenarios are important enough?

You thought about it for a long time and finally came up with a place: the Cliff of Contemplation. It wasn't to steal the stone carvings, but to see Linghu Chong. At this time, Linghu Chong should still be on the Cliff of Contemplation.

His injuries hadn't fully healed, and Ren Yingying's matter was making him uneasy. Yue Buqun's suspicions about him were growing stronger.

This is absolutely the lowest point for Linghu Chong, and also the time when he needs friends the most.

Although you are not exactly Linghu Chong's friend, you have only met a few times and exchanged a few words.

But you feel that drawing the last white entry on the Cliff of Repentance, in this most important scene, is a very meaningful thing.

You stood up, brushed the snow off your clothes, and walked towards the Cliff of Contemplation.

The snow was falling heavily, piling up a thick layer on the stone steps. You walked slowly, each step firm and steady.

When you reached the middle of the mountain, you suddenly stopped. There was a person in front of you, sitting on a rock by the roadside, holding a gourd and drinking.

Snowflakes fall on your hair, shoulders, and gourd, but you don't smack them; you just keep drinking, sip by sip.

It is Linghu Chong.

"Senior Brother?" You walk over and stand in front of him.

Linghu Chong looked up and glanced at you. Your eyes were red, not from crying, but from drinking.

"You are...you?" Linghu Chong thought for a moment, surprisingly still remembering your name. "How did you get up here?"

"I've come to see my senior brother," you said, sitting down next to him. "I heard he's been in a bad mood lately."

Linghu Chong gave a wry smile and handed you the wine gourd: "Want a sip?"

You took the gourd of wine, took a sip, and found the wine to be very strong, making you wince.

"It doesn't taste good, does it?" Linghu Chong laughed. "I don't think it tastes good either, but you get used to it after drinking it a lot. Many things in life are like that; you're not used to it at first, but you get used to it after drinking it a lot."

You returned the gourd to him without saying a word.

The two sat there, watching the heavy snow fall. After a long time, Linghu Chong suddenly spoke up: "Tell me, if someone does many good deeds, but all you think about are bad things, is that person a good person or a bad person?"

You know you're talking about Yue Buqun.

"I don't know," you said, "but I do know that only you know what you're thinking. What others see is only what you do."

Linghu Chong remained silent for a long time before nodding.

"You're right." You raised your gourd to the sky and said, "What you think doesn't matter, what you do matters. Come, have a drink!"

You took the gourd of wine and took another sip. This time, you felt it wasn't as spicy.

The snow fell heavier and heavier, turning their silhouettes white.

You spent the night on the Cliff of Contemplation. Not chatting with Linghu Chong, though; Linghu Chong had drunk too much and fell asleep leaning against a rock.

You just sit quietly, watching the snow, waiting for dawn.

As dawn approached, you opened the keyword extraction interface.

[Sixth year in progress, entry extraction in progress...]

[Detected that the host accompanied Linghu Chong through an important moment on the Cliff of Contemplation, witnessing his lowest point in life...]

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the white entry: Knowing People's Hearts • Initial Understanding]

[Effect: When communicating with others, you can vaguely perceive their true emotions and intentions. You can clearly distinguish between goodwill, malice, hypocrisy, and sincerity. Currently, this is a basic version; it can only perceive surface emotions and cannot penetrate deeper psychological states.]

[Note: This entry is upgradable. After accumulating enough interpersonal interactions, it will automatically evolve into a higher version.]

"Knowing People's Hearts • Initials? Just a plain white entry?" You shook your head, feeling somewhat disappointed.

Since you've ruled out the possibility of a guaranteed pull in a ten-pull, and thankfully you now value white-tier stats quite a bit, you don't think they're useless.
