Under One Person: A Certain Scientific Railgun

"But what?"

Zuo Ruotong asked.

"However, I always feel that Junior Brother Yan seems to have doubts about our sect's Triple Rebirth Technique."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Zuo Ruotong immediately became interested.

"What do you mean?"

"On the day we descended the mountain, Junior Brother Yan said this to me..."

Afterwards, Wu Chengzhen repeated what Zhuge Yan had said to him earlier.

He originally thought that his master would be very angry after hearing this, but to Wu Chengzhen's surprise, his master remained very calm throughout the whole process.

"So attached to appearances... Heh, this little guy really is..."

Zuo Ruotong shook her head, a barely perceptible look of confusion flashing in her eyes.

-----------------

The next day, Zhuge Yun was woken up from his bed in a daze.

He only remembered that last night he and his fellow apprentices went to a restaurant, and then someone suddenly suggested that they should have some wine.

And then... that was it...

Even now, Zhuge Yun can't remember how he got back yesterday.

He splashed cold water on his face to clear his head, then looked out the window at Zhuge Yan.

At this very moment, Zhuge Yan is meditating with his eyes closed.

It wasn't about practicing any kind of magic, but rather about immersing one's mind in one's inner world and confronting the persistent inner demon within it.

Since being enlightened by his master Zuo Ruotong, Zhuge Yan's inner demons have been greatly reduced.

He believed that as long as he continued to persevere, witnessing one person after another and experiencing one event after another, one day his inner demons would be completely dispelled.

"Brother Yan, Brother Yan?"

Just then, Zhuge Yun's call startled him awake from his inner world.

After seeing Zhuge Yan open his eyes, he continued speaking:

"It's almost time, we should go for our morning exercise."

"Okay, let's go."

Zhuge Yan nodded.

When the two brothers arrived at the square in front of the main hall, many of their fellow disciples had already begun their morning exercises.

Zhuge Yan joined them silently without saying hello.

Before long, Master Zuo Ruotong arrived on time as usual, but this time, there was an old man beside him.

"Ah Yun, who is that?"

"Oh, that's Uncle Si Chong, Master's junior brother. Besides Master, Uncle Si Chong is the only one left in the Sanyi Sect from the previous generation."

Like a rush...

Upon hearing this, a knowing glint flashed in Zhuge Yan's eyes.

So it was him. Well, now the "family annihilation duo" is complete!

Just as Zhuge Yan was silently complaining in his heart, perhaps sensing Zhuge Yan's gaze, Si Chong in front of him turned his head to confirm something with Zuo Ruotong, and then walked straight towards him.

Upon seeing this, Zhuge Yun quickly reminded him:

"Brother Yan, it seems that Uncle-Master Si Chong is coming this way!"

"Take it easy, our senior uncle's temper isn't like our master's at all. He's like a powder keg, ready to explode at the slightest provocation!"

"Okay, I understand."

Zhuge Yan nodded, but didn't take it too seriously, and continued to practice his skills.

Finally, as Si Chong stopped walking, he also arrived in front of Zhuge Yan.

"Greetings, Martial Uncle."

Zhuge Yan stopped what he was doing and took the initiative to clasp his hands in a salute.

Si Chong didn't speak. He first looked Zhuge Yan up and down, then spoke directly:

"You're Zhuge Yan? Come, let me see your defying-the-flow technique, use all your strength!"

Zhuge Yan was slightly taken aback, but out of respect for the other party's status as his senior uncle, he ultimately complied.

With the mobilization of true qi within the body, the reversal of life, which was originally only maintaining the most basic level, suddenly went into full power!

Seeing Zhuge Yan's reversal of life before him, Si Chong's eyes lit up.

"Not bad! After only a few days of cultivation, your reversal of life has already become so solid."

No wonder my senior brother went to such lengths, even swallowing his pride, to recruit you twice.

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Yan was about to clasp his hands in thanks when Si Chong spoke up again:

"Yan'er, your talent is indeed astonishing, but talent is ultimately just talent. If you don't work hard to transform that talent into cultivation, it's meaningless!"

Zhuge Yan looked up, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

"I heard you're also practicing esoteric magic?"

"Yes."

"Cultivation should be pursued from beginning to end! A person's energy is ultimately limited. If one is too greedy, one will only end up with nothing but empty joy."

With such high talent, now that you have joined my Sanyi Sect, you should devote all your energy to cultivating the Reverse Rebirth Triple Stage.

I believe that with your talent, given time, you will surely surpass me, surpass your master, and break through the third level that no one has reached in nearly a hundred years!

As he spoke, a hint of undisguised fervor also appeared in Si Chong's eyes.

But after hearing his words, Zhuge Yan couldn't help but frown.

"Uncle-Master, do you mean I should abandon my family's Martial Marquis's Mystic Arts and from now on focus solely on the Reverse Life Triple Technique?"

"good."

Si Chong nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Are you kidding me?

Why would I abandon the infinitely potential of the Mysterious Realm and instead focus on cultivating the seemingly endless Reverse Rebirth Triple Realm?

If the Three Reverse Life Techniques could connect to the heavens, that would be one thing, but the problem is that it is not a path to the heavens in the first place!

I originally cultivated the Reverse Life Triple Realm only to assist Xuanji's cultivation.

Now you want me to give up the profound secrets for the sake of the Triple Rebirth? Do you think I'm just bored and have nothing better to do?!

Although he was almost laughing inwardly, Zhuge Yan still smiled gently on the surface.

No matter what, the other party is still considered an elder.

Even if you know that what the other party will do later will be very stupid, you still have to maintain appearances.

"Thank you for your guidance, Uncle-Master. I will consider it."

"consider?"

Si Chong frowned. Having lived for so many years, he could tell at a glance that his junior apprentice had not taken his words seriously at all.

"When I asked Chengzhen before, from his description of you, you didn't seem to have much faith in our sect's Triple Rebirth technique..."

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Yan's heart skipped a beat.

Oh no, could it be that my well-intentioned advice was interpreted by him as me belittling the Reverse Life Triple Realm?

If that's really the case, then it truly is a case of good deeds not being rewarded...

"Uncle-Master, you jest. I am now a member of the Sanyi Sect, how could I possibly belittle our sect's unique skills?"

"It's not surprising that you think this way, after all, you are different from the other members of the sect."

When they were cultivating the Reverse Life Triple Stage, they all went through countless hardships and near-death experiences before finally succeeding.

But you are different; your cultivation process has been too smooth!

Things that are too easily obtained are often taken for granted.
