I told you to change your skills, and you changed them into a nuclear explosion immortal?

"Hopefully, that kid will learn his lesson this time, haha."

The reception room of the villa.

Qi Huanyu laughed heartily while holding the chess pieces, very happy, while Zhang Chengmu glanced at him and said something.

"Aren't you afraid of corrupting his resolve?"

Qi Huanyu put down the chess pieces and grumbled smugly.

"Him? You underestimate him."

Qi Huanyu glanced at the situation on the chessboard and continued speaking.

"That kid didn't grow up in a honey pot; he was truly pulled out of the mud. He managed to withstand everyone's ridicule and mockery, quietly working his way up to extraordinary levels. Do you really think he's fragile?"

"Considering that Wu Xiangchen constantly schemed against and suppressed him, he was always able to laugh it off in the end. Can you compare to that kind of character?"

"Although he only gained a verbal advantage and didn't actually cause Lu Yun any real harm, could you have tolerated it?"

Since Lu Yun emerged, his experiences and information have naturally been placed in the hands of various real big shots, so Zhang Chengmu naturally knew what Qi Huanyu was saying.

However, Zhang Chengmu was still a little worried when he thought about Lu Yun's appearance just now.

"But he is still young and has a strong sense of self-esteem. I'm really afraid he might do something rash after being provoked by Marz."

"Come on."

Qi Huanyu confidently moved a piece on the chessboard.

"You think that kid really took it to heart? He was just jolted awake by seeing Marz."

Seeing Zhang Chengmu stunned, Qi Huanyu raised an eyebrow and chuckled.

"His growth has been fraught with obstacles, but his strength has increased so rapidly that not only you and I, but even those other people can't keep up with him."

"While rapid growth in strength is a good thing, too rapid growth can lead to arrogance. Even if that kid is shrewd and intelligent, he can't escape the common pitfalls. After all, as you said, he's young."

At this point, Qi Huanyu sighed.

"But even he himself didn't realize this. When he saw Marz this time, he realized that there are always people better than him, and it immediately woke him up. As for your feeling that he took it to heart, he was actually reflecting on himself. He realized this, which is why he didn't seem so flamboyant."

"Of course, I was also at fault for what he did. If I hadn't forced him not to keep a low profile, he wouldn't have acted this way."

Seeing Qi Huanyu shaking his head repeatedly, Zhang Chengmu frowned slightly and said.

"Then why didn't you remind him?"

Qi Huanyu raised his eyes to look at him, and after a full three seconds, he smiled meaningfully.

"There are some things I can remind you of, but there are some things I cannot remind you of."

"Only by experiencing it firsthand and suffering losses can one understand the truth; it cannot be explained by words alone."

"Besides, he's still young, only 18. What's wrong with him being a little arrogant? He has the right to be. If anything happens, this old man will cover for him."

Zhang Chengmu opened his mouth, but was speechless.

"You really spoil him."

"That brat is my last disciple, a true darling of the sect. Didn't you see how good that girl in red is to him?"

Zhang Chengmu didn't argue with that; he knew better than anyone what a cold and aloof person Ye Hongyi was.

The fact that she tirelessly answered all of Lu Yun's questions speaks volumes.

What if it were someone else?

If you say one more word and they don't draw their sword, that's already considered a mistake. Who starts answering your questions as soon as you walk in?

"Hmph, keep pretending."

Seeing Zhang Chengmu's slightly sour expression, Qi Huanyu smiled smugly.

"Heh, so now you understand why you don't have a single disciple, while I have students all over the world, right?"

Zhang Chengmu was extremely annoyed, but he really couldn't refute those words.

"Just you wait, just you wait until I..."

"Rumble..."

"Boom!!!"

Before Zhang Chengmu could finish speaking, a loud rumbling sound suddenly came from outside, followed by a momentary, earth-shattering tremor.

The two poor old men didn't even react and almost fell to the ground along with the chessboard.

"Holy crap?! What the hell happened?! Earth exploded???"

Zhang Chengmu's face changed in fright, and he quickly grabbed the corner of the table to avoid falling off the chair.

The tremor came too suddenly and was too strong; the swaying ceiling and chandelier crashed down.

Upon seeing this, the two old men disregarded everything else and quickly got up and ran outside.

However, the moment the two ran out, they saw a mushroom cloud rising into the sky in the distance.

Qi Huanyu was alright, but Zhang Chengmu slowly opened his mouth wide, as if he had seen a ghost.

"What the hell?! What the hell is going on???"

"Nuclear bombing to clean up the mess???"

Qi Huanyu opened his mouth, muttering in astonishment.

"This...this seems different from his previous dumplings..."

"Is this brat going crazy? Making these dumplings like this, aren't you afraid you'll blow up the old man too?"

Fortunately, the tremor came and went quickly, and it subsided in less than a minute.

But the enormous mushroom cloud truly shocked the two old men beyond measure.

"What the hell... Lao Qi, what is this thing?!"

Coming to his senses, Zhang Chengmu looked at Qi Huanyu with a look of astonishment.

"Don't tell me that this golden mushroom cloud was caused by that brat Lu Yun!"

Qi Huanyu nodded somewhat stiffly.

"Indeed... he was the one who caused it..."

"Good heavens? Is this kid going crazy?"

Zhang Chengmu was stunned. He thought he had overestimated Lu Yun, but now he realized that he had underestimated Lu Yun.

The fact that he could see so clearly from such a distance was enough to intimidate him.

After a long silence, Zhang Chengmu finally uttered, "Awesome!"

Qi Huanyu was very pleased, but now was clearly not the time to praise Lu Yun, so he called the butler over and quickly gave him instructions.

"Send men to patrol the city gates, and another team to investigate the scene! Go quickly!"

The butler was terrified, but seeing what Qi Huanyu said, he didn't dare to delay and quickly ran off to make arrangements.

Seeing this, Zhang Chengmu couldn't help but glance at him.

"You certainly know how to protect him."

Qi Huanyu shook his head seriously.

"He hasn't reached the ninth level of cultivation yet, nor has he opened his domain. It's necessary for him to conceal his abilities and keep a low profile, otherwise those people won't be able to sleep."

Zhang Chengmu sighed and said helplessly.

"I wonder when he'll be able to unlock his domain."

Speaking of this, Qi Huanyu was also quite helpless.

"I don't expect him to reach the eighth level of enlightenment. I just want him to be able to open his domain. Even if he does it after receiving the complete inheritance, it will be fine. That way, his safety will be guaranteed."

Zhang Chengmu opened his mouth, then sighed.

"Wouldn't it be great if he could unlock his domain at the seventh level? That way, he'd have a better chance of winning the Divine Sense Stele tomorrow, instead of having to endure ridicule and attract hatred again."

Qi Huanyu paused for a moment, then shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Opening a domain at the seventh rank? You must be joking. It would be good enough if he could complete the mission before the ninth rank."

"A domain? That's a domain! It's a completely different concept from not having a domain activated."

Qi Huanyu waved his hand, clearly not wanting to talk anymore.

"Forget it, let's go back and wait. They'll be back soon."

"Forget it, let's just wait here."

Qi Huanyu glanced back at the dilapidated villa and made the following decision.
