System crash? I prove it with my control panel!

Chu Feng waited for Chen Wen to come out outside the door so they could go to the square together.

On the way, he asked:

"Brother Jingwen, you don't seem to be in good spirits today. I wonder how your comprehension is going?"

"Some progress has been made."

Chen Wen did not hide anything and answered truthfully.

"Oh, I didn't either... um?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng was stunned, a look of disbelief on his face, and he exclaimed in surprise:

"What?! You..."

Chen Wen quickly covered his mouth, "Shut up! Do you want to be surrounded here?!"

"Waaah~"

Chu Feng let out two cries and nodded repeatedly, indicating that he understood.

Chen Wen then released his grip.

Chu Feng rubbed his face, looked around to make sure no one was watching, and then chuckled and scolded in a low voice:

"Damn it, you've actually figured out the technique?!"

"Ha, your attitude is putting me in a difficult position. Should I offer you a suggestion?"

Chen Wen glanced at him, put his hands behind his back, and said indifferently.

However, Chu Feng shook his head seriously:

"No, Brother Jingwen, the profound texts can be learned, but the Dao cannot be transmitted. I've heard from the villagers that everyone's understanding of the Dao is slightly different, each one unique."

"If you teach me, I will learn your way, not my own, which will harm me!"

"Oh? There really is such a saying. I've learned something new."

Chen Wen nodded knowingly, not expecting that his casual remark when he was fooling them yesterday had actually come true.

He then asked:

"Isn't even giving some pointers or pointing out the direction enough?"

Chu Feng was taken aback for a moment, then nodded: "That's fine, as long as you don't tell me your method directly and confuse my mind, it's okay."

Upon hearing this, Chen Wen raised his hand and patted Chu Feng on the shoulder, putting on airs as he said:

"Then why are you pretending with me? Tell me, if I were to give you some pointers, what would you do? Hmm?!"

"this......"

Chu Feng hesitated for a moment, then, considering his own dullness, he gritted his teeth and squeezed out a whisper as faint as a mosquito's buzz:

"Godfather~"

"What?!"

Chen Wen's expression was sarcastic.

Chu Feng's face flushed red, and with a determined heart, he shouted, "Godfather!"

"Hey~ good boy, you're not silly~! Hahaha~"

Chen Wen responded with a laugh, his eyes crinkling at the corners of his head.

Chu Feng stared with wide, bull-like eyes, panting heavily as he said:

"Now you can give me pointers, right?!"

They had a "you dare to mess with me, I'll fight you to the death" attitude.

"Sure, sure, come closer. Secrets shouldn't be shared with just six ears!"

Chen Wen squinted, smiled, pulled him close, and whispered in his ear:

"************!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng froze instantly, his face turning red.

"That's it? You dare to play me?!"

Chen Wen sighed, "Alas, he's truly beyond redemption!"

Looking at Chen Wen's serious expression, Chu Feng couldn't help but wonder to himself, "Could it really be like that?"

Chu Feng remained silent for the rest of the way, following Chen Wen to the square with some skepticism.

This time.

Upon arriving at the square, Chen Wen was greeted with a bow and the greeting "Senior Brother Chen!" by everyone he met.

Or, "Brother Jingwen!"

Chen Wen responded to each one, but when he got tired, he could only nod and smile in acknowledgment.

Later on, they simply ignored it altogether.

Seeing how popular Chen Wen was, Chu Feng couldn't help but say sourly:

"Why are we treated differently even though we're both in the same 'Grade A' category?"

"How can that be the same?!"

Chen Wen joked:

"I'm at the top of the list; you've only managed to get to the bottom by sheer luck!"

Chu Feng choked and his face turned bright red, reddening several times throughout the morning.

But these were the very words he said yesterday, and there's no way to refute them.

I simply stopped sitting next to him and found a corner to sit in.

Chen Wen also found a seat and was about to sit down.

But suddenly a voice called out.

"Brother Jingwen, please wait a moment. Senior Brother He from the inner sect invites you over for a chat. He has reserved a seat for you. Please go quickly and don't keep Senior Brother He waiting."

Chen Wen was speechless upon hearing this. Is this how you treat people?

He refused without even looking up, saying, "Go back to where you came from. I think this place looks quite comfortable, so I'm not going."

The disciple was taken aback upon hearing this, then immediately panicked. "If you don't go, how can I explain to Senior Brother He?" he thought, and quickly replied.

"Hey, you really don't know what's good for you. Don't blame me for not warning you, Senior Brother He has powerful connections within the sect. You can't afford to offend him!"

Chen Wen shook his head: "If I'm not going, I'm not going. Get lost! Isn't it good to be a human being? Why do you have to fight to be someone else's dog!"

"You, you, you, you just wait! I... I'll go report to Senior Brother He right now!"

Upon hearing this, the disciple became enraged, uttered a harsh threat, and turned to leave.

"What's wrong? Are you alright?"

Seeing the commotion, Chu Feng quickly came over to inquire and switched seats with the person next to him.

Chen Wen shook his head, as if nothing had just happened, and smiled calmly:

"It was just a few barks from the dog, don't worry about it!"

Chu Feng nodded. "That's good... Are you sure the guidance wasn't wrong?"

"I'm sure!"

Chen Wen snorted coldly and ignored him.

A moment later, Li Xuan descended onto the high platform.

The Silence Array is activated.

Everyone began their morning classes.

Until the morning class started, the so-called Senior Brother He did not send anyone else.

Chen Wen didn't take it to heart. Such behavior of calling him over was nothing more than wanting to show off his power, humiliate him, or take him in as a dog.

Since you've already guessed their intentions, why bother going over there to suffer that humiliation?

It's not like it's Ace or Amu!

...

Soon, Chen Wen's attention was drawn to the content of the morning lesson.

This time, unlike before when I only taught one character a day, I explained it in great detail.

Roughly speaking, it would take an hour to explain two words.

Furthermore, it incorporates many combinations, evolutions, and derivations among the mystical character roots, etc.

This made things quite difficult for most of the outer disciples.

Chen Wen, however, is alright.

Because he discovered that these things were somewhat related to what he had talked about in the previous three months.

Similar to the difference and connection between the letters E and F.

So it's not too difficult to learn.

This time, Chen Wen paid close attention to the inner disciples.

Sure enough, they all looked relaxed and had smiles on their faces.

This proves that Chu Feng was right.

But who told him that?

Chen Wen already had a guess in his mind.

Chu Feng had let slip a few times that the village...

In addition, he gave himself the magic formula.

It can be inferred that he must possess a powerful being.

It could never be reincarnation or possession. Chen Wen had also tried to test it several times in the past few days, pretending to be naive.

Chu Feng still retains a lot of immaturity.

This is something that adults can never fake.

For example, Chen Wen, from a young age he appeared intelligent, steady, and sensible...

Moreover, this person has a close relationship with Chu Feng and should be someone like the village chief.

When Chen Wen figured out the answer, he found it utterly unbelievable.

A powerful being, suspected of being seriously injured, went to a small mountain village to become the village chief, and then due to some accident, possessed the body of an ordinary child.

This script... is way too melodramatic!

Shouldn't he be recuperating from his serious injuries instead of becoming the village chief?!

If someone dared to write a novel like this, they would definitely be criticized to death.

But this is reality, and precisely because the matter was so absurd, Chen Wen believed it.

and many more.

Chen Wen suddenly thought of a question: If he is the chosen one, the protagonist, then what am I?

A chosen one who was eliminated?

The reason he calls himself the chosen one is because he has a system within him.

The reason I say I've been eliminated is because my system is incomplete.

It's obvious that this panel is a residual file left over from when the unbinding process failed due to some unknown accident.

There's no use thinking about it so much. When you become stronger in the future, the answer will naturally come to light.

He composed himself and focused on continuing the lesson.

The morning passed quickly.

Li Xuan explained a total of five Xuanwen texts.

Chen Wen didn't linger at all and left with Chu Feng.

They left not long ago.

A group of young men and women in green robes arrived here.

The leader's face was ashen, while those around him wore mocking expressions, as if they were there to watch a show.

The leader frowned and asked, "Was he here before?"

The outer disciple who had just summoned Chen Wen quickly stepped forward and said respectfully, "Senior Brother He, that's right. That kid is really arrogant. When I invited him, he looked disdainful and said, 'What kind of person is Senior Brother He...'"

"Snap—"

A crisp sound interrupted the outer disciple's words.

Senior Brother He slowly withdrew his hand, his gaze indifferent: "Do you think I'm a fool?!"

"I'll give you three breaths. Think carefully about how he answered, and also how you invited him."

puff~

The outer disciple was so frightened that he fell to the ground with a thud, his face filled with terror, and he trembled as he said:

"Yes, Senior Brother He... I'll go over and tell him you saved a spot for him, and ask him to hurry over so you don't have to wait..."

"He...he said it's fine here, so he won't go...I then told him about your background..."

"That's enough!"

Upon hearing this, Senior Brother He's expression turned even uglier, and he let out a cold snort:

"I told you to invite him over, and this is how you invite him?"

He kicked him, yelling, "You scoundrel who relies on his master's power! You can't even speak properly, what use are you? Get out!"

The outer disciple dared not resist in the slightest, being kicked around like a rolling gourd, even rolling a few more times to cooperate, begging for mercy as he left:

"Senior Brother He, I know I was wrong, I will never dare to do it again~~~"

...

At this moment, a fair-skinned girl dressed in a blue robe let out a mocking laugh:

"Heh, He Yuhao, it seems your plan to recruit subordinates has failed miserably and died in the womb!"

He Yuhao suppressed his anger and suddenly burst out laughing.

"Bai Zhanyue, you've been thoroughly insulted, and you still have the nerve to laugh at me?!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhanyue immediately stopped laughing and gave a cold snort:

"That good-for-nothing is just a collateral disciple; how dare he associate with me?!"

She said that, but in her heart she already harbored resentment towards someone.

She stamped her foot and turned to leave.

He Yuhao narrowed his eyes slightly. His brother said he should treat those he'd already offended with respect, but he didn't say what to do with those he'd already offended...

How about... paying a visit?

Forget it. If I refuse, I'll miss an opportunity. I'm just a nobody anyway.

...

After returning home.

Chu Feng remained skeptical about the methods Chen Wen had taught him.

However, the village chief is still asleep, and there is no one to guide him.

He gritted his teeth and decided to give it a try.

It's just that we're no longer looking at the gate jade slips, but at the entry jade slips. I'll take a look and see for myself.

See if the answer is hidden inside!

He took out the jade slip that served him as an initiation token, placed it between his eyebrows, and examined it carefully...

......

Meanwhile, Chen Wen was watching the show.

What they were watching was the scene where the aggrieved Liang Jiu stumbled upon Xiao Hongyu and Jia Xu.

His room faced the courtyard gate, so he could see Liang Jiu's figure.

As for why he was recognized, it was naturally because of his unique physique.

At that moment, Jia Xu was holding Xiao Hongyu's hand and performing magic tricks for her.

But after the magic trick was over, Xiao Hongyu did not break free. Instead, her face flushed with embarrassment, and she began to chat enthusiastically with Jia Xu.

Jia Xu's witty remarks made her laugh repeatedly, creating quite a lively atmosphere.

If it weren't for Liang Jiu standing at the entrance, it would still be a harmonious scene.

Liang Jiu's face was ashen, his fists clenched, wishing he could rush in right now, separate them, and teach Jia Xu, that ungrateful bastard, a lesson.

But he held back.

I am only a third-class student, while Jia Xu is a first-class student.

If I were to hit him, even if I had a family backing me, I would probably be expelled from the sect.

Who told him to be disliked even within his own family!

Only then did he understand the meaning behind his mother's secret tears at night, when she hugged him and cried, telling him that he must live up to her expectations and cultivate diligently.

Then I think about how my friends used to avoid me when I moved to a third-class courtyard these past few days.

Without strength, one cannot even protect one's fiancée and can only be bullied by others.

Without strength, there is no dignity, and even fewer friends...

only......

At this moment, Liang Jiu hated Xiao Hongyu even more than Jia Xu.

She didn't consider him her fiancé at all.

Regardless of anything else, he was her fiancé, and she was a member of the Zifu family. How could she be so shameless and intimate with another man!

How dare they humiliate me like this, humiliate my Liang Kingdom...

He gritted his teeth and said, "Just you wait, my day will come!"

Liang Jiu left without the slightest regret.

Chen Wen sighed regretfully. He hadn't stormed in and made a scene, then immediately called off the engagement, set a three-year agreement, and declared, "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river..."

Of course, reality is cruel, but I can understand Liang Jiu's feelings.

After all, there were plenty of such things in my past life.

Unlike in this life, where striving to improve one's strength offers even a sliver of hope for revenge...

Chen Wen continued to immerse himself in the cultivation technique...

The repetitive nature of daily life makes time fly by.

In the blink of an eye, another two and a half days have passed.

Recently.

Chen Wen maintained the habit of going to the library to read books in the afternoon and studying cultivation techniques in the evening.

The jade slip containing the cultivation technique had long since shattered, but the technique was imprinted in his mind and could never be forgotten.

His progress in the "Azure Qi Guiding Technique" has been soaring.

It had already reached 80 by the second day.

However, to be on the safe side, he waited another day until he had truly mastered the basics before he felt at ease.

He didn't want to be like others, who couldn't wait to start practicing as soon as they understood the technique. That was reckless and a major taboo on the path of cultivation!

Only someone like Shirazan-do would do something like that!

When you first encounter spiritual practice, there will inevitably be many things you don't understand.

For example, in the practice of raising the Qi to the Dantian, what is the Dantian? Which Dantian should one sink to? And what happens after sinking to the Dantian?

There's also the circulation of Qi and blood through acupoints, and the circulation of Qi throughout the body; these all require learning.

Therefore, Master Li's statement that one can enter the Dao within a month is actually very difficult; it truly is a selection process for those with excellent comprehension and unwavering perseverance.

Now, only two and a half days have passed since the end of the month.

Chen Wen felt that everything was ready except for cultivation!
