Chapter 10. Knowledge Enters the Brain in a Despicable Manner
Xia Feng pondered, “Naturally, I’m here because I want you to learn the ‘One-Tail Spirit Robe,’ but I could never think of a good reason.”
Would it be too abrupt to just give away a Spirit Robe for no reason?
“Mr. Xia, Mr. Xia?”
The black-dressed woman’s voice, filled with doubt, pulled him back from his thoughts.
He blinked, his face serious. “Miss Mu, you are actually a genius too.”
“Ah?” Mu Qingtong froze, her heart skipping a beat. ‘What’s going on? Am I exposed already?’
“Miss Mu, after I met you last night, I felt that your bone structure was extraordinary, and your ‘heavenly palace’ was full. You are definitely not an ordinary person, but a rare cultivation prodigy!”
“Ah?”
“I know you don’t believe me, but your talent just hasn’t manifested yet.” Xia Feng felt that perhaps he could change his approach; all he needed was to bluff this woman.
After all, the enemy was known, and he was hidden. With the advantage of a significant information gap, no matter how smart Mu Qingtong was, she would never guess the true reason behind his unconventional behavior.
Moreover, Mu Qingtong was an arrogant and self-centered person. The more self-absorbed she was, the more she would overthink and deeply believe.
After a swift analysis, Xia Feng didn’t hesitate. He directly took out the Spirit Particle Structure diagram of the One-Tail Spirit Robe and presented it to Mu Qingtong.
“This is a secret Spirit Robe of the Six-Tails Sect. If you have talent, you will be able to understand the Spirit Particle Structure recorded on it. Take a look.”
Mu Qingtong was somewhat bewildered by Xia Feng. She subconsciously looked. The dense structural grid points on the Spirit Paper instantly entered her mind, and she subconsciously pondered for a moment.
[You have initially understood the Spirit Particle Structure of the D-class Spirit Robe ‘One-Tail’ – 10%]
‘What the hell!’ Xia Feng’s eyes nearly bulged out. ‘This speed, is she a rocket?’
He had also tried to study this Spirit Particle Structure last night, and it was no different from reading a celestial book. He estimated that it would take him at least a year to fully comprehend it.
[You have further understood the Spirit Particle Structure of the D-class Spirit Robe ‘One-Tail’ – 20%]
Mu Qingtong raised her eyes, her gaze filled with confusion. She helplessly murmured, “Mr. Xia, are you toying with me? I can’t understand any of this at all.”
She extended her hand and pushed the Spirit Paper back.
Xia Feng raised an eyebrow and directly took the paper, forcefully unfolding it before her eyes. “How could you not understand? Just look again, just one more look~”
Mu Qingtong turned her head away, but the knowledge was still forced into her mind in a despicable manner.
[You have completely memorized the Spirit Particle Structure diagram of ‘One-Tail’ – 25%]
Xia Feng held the Spirit Paper there for a full five seconds, but the progress got stuck at 25% and wouldn’t move.
He slightly lowered the paper and met Mu Qingtong’s golden eyes, which were somewhat vacant and displeased. Her tone was unfriendly, “Mr. Xia, do you think I have a very good temper?”
“Cough, cough~” Xia Feng gave an awkward smile, retrieved the Spirit Paper, and his expression became serious. “Whether you believe it or not, I personally think you have the talent of a great emperor… No, an exceptionally gifted individual!”
He surmised that Mu Qingtong had forcefully stopped her own thinking, which was why the progress was stuck at 25%.
Xia Feng pondered in his heart but couldn’t come up with a good method to force her to thoroughly analyze the Spirit Particle Structure diagram in her mind.
However, he also understood one thing from this incident:
Mu Qingtong had only learned five N-level Spirit Robes and two D-class Spirit Robes in a full year. The reason behind this was probably that she only memorized a large number of Spirit Particle Structure diagrams and would only comprehend and learn them when the need arose, which was unbelievably arrogant.
Seeing Xia Feng so certain of her genius, Mu Qingtong felt suspicious. ‘Could this guy be doubting my strength and testing me here?’
She figured she must have accidentally revealed some flaw, which this guy had discovered, leading to his suspicion.
Thinking of this, she suddenly understood. ‘Could it be…’
‘Could it be that this man, like me, is also looking forward to encountering someone similar, a genius who can be on par with him?!’
“I know Miss Mu must be very curious why I am so confident that you are a genius.”
Xia Feng’s expression was serious, and his words were earnest. “As long as Miss Mu learns the One-Tail, I will tell you the reason, how about it?”
“That’s a lie,” Maid Fei, who had been sitting in the front, suddenly spoke again, her words concise and comprehensive.
Mu Qingtong smiled and looked at Xia Feng. Xia Feng: “…”
‘As expected, he’s still testing me!’ Mu Qingtong knew in her heart that this man, likely like her, was confused about his own special nature and was desperately trying to indirectly confirm the existence of a peer.
Thinking of this, the corner of her lips curved, but she quickly concealed it and said calmly, “If Mr. Xia is just here to talk nonsense, then please leave.”
“…” ‘She really is tough as nails,’ Xia Feng helplessly cupped his forehead, wanting to speak but stopping himself, then wanting to speak again, truly not knowing how to persuade this stubborn person.
‘He’s getting anxious, he’s anxious!’ Seeing Xia Feng’s anxious and distressed appearance as he tried to confirm her as a peer, Mu Qingtong couldn’t help but curve her lips, feeling inexplicably pleased.
She decided. Currently, the other party was in the open, and she was in the dark. Naturally, she had to hide her strength well. When her strength could crush this man, she would reveal herself, giving him a surprise while crushing him fiercely, letting this peer know that even among peers, there were still gaps!
“Master, time is up, we need to leave,” the maid servant in the front seat said in a deep voice after glancing at the time.
“…Fine, then I won’t disturb you any longer.”
Xia Feng also knew that without exposing the Calamity Demon Heart, it would be difficult to make the lazy and unmotivated Mu Qingtong willingly cultivate diligently.
He hadn’t held out much hope to begin with, and his gains today were sufficient. There would be plenty of time in the future.
While contemplating, he pushed open the door and got out of the car.
‘!’
‘He’s giving up just like that? Not going to test me a few more times?’ Mu Qingtong rested her jaw on her hand. “Wait.”
“Hmm?” Xia Feng turned back in confusion.
“Mr. Xia, do you have anything else to say to me?”
‘Say to you? You don’t even want a Spirit Robe gifted to you, what else can I say…’ Xia Feng’s eyes flickered. As if realizing something, he looked at the black-dressed woman with a slightly serious expression and deliberately gave a mysterious smile:
“Miss Mu, then please cultivate diligently towards becoming a World Destruction powerhouse. I look forward to the day when you will surpass all history!”
“Ah?”
‘World Destruction powerhouse?’ Mu Qingtong was stunned. Although she didn’t fully grasp why it was ‘World Destruction powerhouse,’ she could generally guess that Xia Feng was looking forward to her growth and was curious if she could reach the supreme level.
“Let’s go.” Xia Feng waved his hand and got out of the car, leaving.
Mu Qingtong watched the man’s receding back. ‘World Destruction powerhouse…’
The corners of her lips curled up.
“Mr. Xia, I also look forward to the day you stand above all beings!”
Her golden eyes burned, and the fighting spirit that had been dormant for many years ignited with a ‘boom’ – completely aflame!
At this moment, she eagerly anticipated the day she would reveal herself to Xia Feng. She wanted to see who would be the more special one then!
Thinking of this, her beautiful eyes twinkled, and she began to recall the One-Tail Spirit Particle Structure diagram that Xia Feng had shown her earlier.
“I’ll start with the simpler parts first,” she murmured with her eyes closed.
Not long after Xia Feng got out of the car, he froze in place.
[You have further analyzed the upper-level Spirit Particle Structure of the D-class Spirit Robe ‘One-Tail’ – 29%]
[You have further analyzed the upper-level Spirit Particle Structure of the D-class Spirit Robe ‘One-Tail’ – 36%]
[You have further analyzed the D-class Spirit Robe… 41%]
[You have further… 42%]
‘As expected…’ ‘This lazy and arrogant woman really falls for the riddle-teller approach,’ Xia Feng thought, though he felt a bit speechless, his heart was blooming with joy.
He estimated that his final words before leaving had worked.
Although he didn’t know what Mu Qingtong had been thinking in between, the result was good nonetheless~~
‘Senior Mu, I like geniuses like you, students~~’
At the same time, Xia Feng completely understood that directly persuading an arrogant genius like Mu Qingtong to study was ineffective. Only by being a riddle-teller was the correct approach, making her overthink and ponder!
Geniuses often firmly believe in their own deductions.
“So…”
Xia Feng grinned, clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, and prayed sincerely, “Miss Mu, please cultivate madly without eating, drinking, urinating, defecating, sleeping, or resting!”
