Extraordinary rules descend upon the world

No. 11 Changsheng Street, Heze City, the headquarters of Yushu Sect.

Inside the room, Geng Dingjun had just returned from the Golden Palace, and he was in high spirits.

"It seems that staying in the palace has greatly improved my learning ability."

Geng Dingjun pondered it carefully, becoming more and more certain the more he thought about it.

Inside the palace, one's mind is sharp and one's energy is extremely abundant, which greatly enhances learning efficiency.

Body movement is the most difficult skill to master.

Almost everyone found it difficult to learn, and he was no exception before.

But inside the palace, it all happened naturally.

There wasn't so much scratching my head, and I fully enjoyed the fun of learning.

"What a wonderful place!"

bang bang bang~

Hearing the knock on the door, Geng Dingjun composed himself to appear normal before saying, "Please come in."

The door was pushed open, and the second-in-command, Dong Ziqiang, and Pei Yongkang walked in one after the other.

"sit."

Geng Dingjun greeted his two good brothers and made them tea before sitting down.

"Brother Geng," Dong Ziqiang said, "we've been keeping an eye on things, and there's been a new development with Chu Weiyue."

Geng Dingjun remained calm and composed: "Tell me about it."

Dong Ziqiang had already mentally rehearsed his lines countless times before speaking directly:

"I was working on the 'Three Fragrance Dew Grass' the other day. Once it's grown, it can help spirit beasts recover their health."

"He even released a tutorial video that includes instructions on planting and drawing medicinal talismans."

"By the way, he also adopted many crippled spirit beasts."

"He then spent several more hours going up a mountain to catch a lame dog."

"Looks like you're very busy and fulfilled."

"His outstanding performance in Rule 7 must have earned him a lot of sect rewards."

After listening attentively, Geng Dingjun began to summarize: "He's been busy with things related to spirit beasts."

  

Pei Yongkang echoed, "That's true."

Geng Dingjun stood up and took a few steps: "What a pity."

"Yes," Pei Yongkang subconsciously agreed, then belatedly realized, "What's the pity?"

As Geng Dingjun walked, he said, "Unfortunately, his sect is related to beast taming, and the various sect rewards cannot make his personal strength improve by leaps and bounds."

Stopping in their tracks, he glanced at Dong Ziqiang and Pei Yongkang: "Suppose Chu Weiyue joined a normal sect, where the rewards would be various cultivation techniques, passive abilities, etc., that could directly increase one's strength, how powerful would Chu Weiyue be now?"

"His talent and ability are not a problem; he can achieve good results in all rules."

"But the various sect rewards he received were all related to spirit beasts."

"People who perform just as well as him in every rule can become stronger through sect rewards, but Chu Weiyue cannot."

"If this continues, Chu Weiyue's own strength will probably fall behind."

"His only reliance is on his spirit beasts."

"Admittedly, a contracted spirit beast and its master are one, but if one's own strength is insufficient, no matter how strong the spirit beast is, it still feels a bit lacking."

Dong Ziqiang nodded: "That's true. Apart from the various extraordinary rules, Chu Weiyue has no other way to improve. Unlike us, we can still improve our strength through sect rewards."

"We'll profit from both sides: the rules and the sect's rewards."

"Chu Weiyue is different. He relies on the rules himself, while his spirit beasts consume sect rewards. His power is not being used in one place, which is suspected of being scattered."

Geng Dingjun agreed: "Indeed."

"But Chu Weiyue is definitely not a fool."

"Considering the dog he employs, he is indeed incredibly formidable."

"His Qiling Mountain must be extraordinary, which is why Chu Weiyue was willing to busy himself with spirit beasts and let the gap between himself and others slowly widen."

"In my opinion, Chu Weiyue himself probably won't have many opportunities to stand out in terms of strength in the future, but the spirit beasts under his command will probably remain powerful."

"In short, he abandoned himself and chose the spirit beast."

Pei Yongkang interjected, "But not long ago, he easily defeated me."

Geng Dingjun chuckled and said, "As time goes by, he will only get weaker, and you will only get stronger. Perhaps it won't be long before you can easily defeat him."

"You met him just as he was at his peak."

"Being defeated is normal; after all, he performed exceptionally well under all the extraordinary rules."

Dong Ziqiang took a sip of tea: "If we want to avenge our defeat, we only need to defeat the spirit beasts, including that dog. As for Chu Weiyue himself, there may be no need for a match."

"If we insist on fighting him, it will make us look like we're bullying him."

"In that case, it is indeed a pity. Judging from the quality of Chu Weiyue's completion of various extraordinary rules, if he could focus on improving himself, he would definitely become a prominent figure."

"Of course, nobody's a fool, and Chu Weiyue is no exception. He must have his reasons for choosing a spirit beast."

"Furthermore, we can already see some clues."

"Whose dog can be as fierce as his?"

"Speaking of which, his dog is a bit too powerful."

"It is said that other spirit beasts tremble in fear in front of that dog, and some are even so frightened that they wet themselves."

After thinking for a moment, Geng Dingjun said, "I'm a little confident now. I can't say I'll beat that dog, but at least I won't lose. I can at least get a draw."

Geng Dingjun was full of confidence. Not long ago, he successfully mastered the Phantom Step technique in the palace, achieving a perfect score of 100 and undergoing a complete transformation.

With the Phantom Step, you'll be absolutely invincible against dogs.

It's wonderful to have the opportunity to enter the palace.

Under the excited gazes of Dong Ziqiang and Pei Yongkang, Geng Dingjun continued, "However, there's no rush. What we want is victory."

With his extraordinary encounter at the "Golden Palace," Geng Dingjun was brimming with confidence. The longer he dragged things out, the more time he would have to reap various benefits.

Dong Ziqiang chimed in, "That's right, we must be cautious. Also, if the time is right, perhaps I can step in again and fight the dog to see how strong it really is."

"Winning is naturally good."

"It's okay if I lose, I've already lost once."

Geng Dingjun thought for a moment and said, "We'll see when the time comes. I can go straight in too."

"Chu Weiyue, what a pity."

"Even if a contracted spirit beast has one, it's not as good as having one yourself."

After that generous remark, Geng Dingjun shook his head, remembering what the Golden Palace had instructed him to do:

"What's the current status of the black-faced statue?"

Dong Ziqiang immediately replied, "Same as before."

"When Rule 6, the Rejuvenating Elixir, ended, the black package began to crack in large numbers, and statues were continuously created. As time went on, the cracking rate gradually slowed down until Rule 7, the Marrow Cleansing Array, began, and the black package stopped cracking."

"A few days ago, the Rule 7 Marrow Cleansing Formation ended, and the black package started to break down in large numbers again. Today, the rate has slowed down a lot, and Rule 8 may be coming soon."

"Currently, there is no information about any statues escaping justice."
