The young girl Wu Shuang was distraught!
Investigating Chu Yun’s battle records was very simple. The Academy Assembly had been held for countless sessions, establishing a mature system. Wu Shuang’s investigation went smoothly.
However, the result arising from this smoothness left her in a daze, as if in a dream.
Walking on the street, her steps felt light and airy, her entire being immersed in extreme shock.
Her mind was still filled with the comments from those involved about Chu Yun.
“He’s a prodigy, flitting in and out, with a unique style that’s unforgettable.”
“That guy is shameless. He made us wait for half an hour. Yet, he acted all anxious and wronged, making us grind our teeth in frustration.”
“At first, I was quite angry. After all, in this kind of spar, being late is arrogance, an insult to one’s opponent. But now I understand. High-level experts often have peculiar habits.”
It was truly fifty-six consecutive victories! Wushuang hadn’t lied to me. But how was this possible?
The young girl Wu Shuang was in deep turmoil. She dared not believe it, yet she had to.
“Hey, what’s wrong? You look lost, like you’ve seen a ghost. Or perhaps you just fell in love at first sight and met your Prince Charming?” At this moment, her best friend spotted Wu Shuang on the street and approached her, asking playfully.
“Ah, it’s you. What were you saying?” Wu Shuang looked up, gazing blankly at her friend.
Her friend rolled her eyes helplessly: “You must be tired. And indeed, you’re a newcomer, this is your first time working at the Academy Assembly. Everyone is exhausted after these few days. By the way, how did Wushuang perform?”
Wu Shuang’s best friend had been concerned about this matter. After a brief exchange with Wu Shuang, she brought up Chu Yun.
“So-so.” Wu Shuang remembered Chu Yun had asked her to keep his matters secret. Hesitating, she bit her lip and decided to cover for Chu Yun.
“I thought so too. If he were truly proficient in eighteen disciplines, he wouldn’t be human, but a god. Haha!” Her friend burst into laughter.
Wu Shuang lookedSpeechless at her friend, thinking, “You’re actually right, he’s definitely not human. How can one person achieve such a level? But I didn’t mean to deceive you, I promised Senior I’d keep it quiet…”
Wu Shuang, who had just lied to her friend, felt a pang of guilt. At the same time, the secret she held in her heart made her mood quite heavy.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going. I want to go back and sleep, to rest properly.” Wu Shuang said her farewells.
“Okay, I’ll go with you,” her friend replied.
“No, really, no need,” Wu Shuang declined, wanting to be alone to process this extremely shocking fact.
“Then be careful. Oh, right, which project is Wushuang good at?” Her friend looked at Wu Shuang with concern, suddenly remembering this and asking excitedly. In her opinion, it was already difficult enough for Chu Yun, being so young, to be proficient in one project.
Wu Shuang thought for a moment before replying, “The Sealing project.”
In today’s spar, Chu Yun had actually defeated the renowned authority in the Sealing realm, Brow Saber Master, in the morning Sealing spar. The first time she confirmed this, the young girl had stood there in stunned silence.
Her friend clapped her hands, her eyes sparkling: “Great, now there’s something to watch. Li Er dislikes Wushuang so much, doesn’t he? If Wushuang can defeat him in the Sealing spar, I wonder what Li Er’s face will look like.”
“What’s Li Er’s result?” Wu Shuang became a little interested.
“Alas, I have to say he does have some talent. Today’s three spars, two wins and one loss…” her friend mumbled.
Wu Shuang didn’t know much about the Sealing realm. She listened with a vague understanding, it seemed Li Er was quite skilled. So she asked, “How does Li Er compare to Brow Saber Master?”
“How can you even compare them? Brow Saber Master is the authority in the Sealing realm, ten Li Er’s wouldn’t be her match,” her friend said, her laughter ringing out.
“Li Er, you’re doomed.” Wu Shuang sighed, mentally mourning for Li Er.
The spars at the Academy Assembly were held in secret rooms to prevent the leakage of forging techniques, making them extremely lacking in visual appeal. It was usually only in the final rounds that they attracted widespread attention.
Moreover, this was only the first round, so although Chu Yun’s performance was stunning, it hadn’t yet attracted widespread attention.
After bidding farewell to Wu Shuang, Chu Yun, though physically and mentally exhausted, insisted on continuing his exploration of the Eastern District.
This was already the fourth day of the Academy Assembly. On East Avenue, the crowds were like a tide, at least three times larger than on the first day. Any more, and it would truly be shoulder to shoulder.
Shops that were previously empty or had only one or two vacancies were now occupied. All the shops in the Eastern District had been rented out.
“Go, go, go. If you want to set up a street stall, go somewhere else. Don’t block the entrance to our shop and hinder our business.” Chu Yun walked along, seeing many shop owners or clerks already driving people away.
There were too many small street vendors, and the stalls were set up too densely, some even surrounding the shop entrances.
Of course, there were also some harsh shopkeepers who not only drove away the small stall owners at their entrance but also evicted those on the sides who didn’t obstruct traffic.
Chu Yun had also been driven away by such shopkeepers many times in his previous life. Some aggressive shopkeepers even resorted to physical violence.
“The previous life was truly filled with helplessness and bitterness. Although this life is glorious, it’s still like walking on thin ice, and I cannot afford a moment’s slack. The late Ku Tuo King once famously said, ‘All living beings suffer.’ That saying is truly apt.”
At that moment, Chu Yun’s heart was deeply moved. Waves of comprehension surged into his mind, and everything around him began to blur. Only he himself became clearer and clearer.
The previously noisy and boisterous sounds gradually faded. The world grew darker and darker, until finally, only Chu Yun was walking alone in a vast, dark space.
In this darkness, he emanated milky white Spirit light, walking further and further, each step firm and steady. Behind him, he left a clear trail of moon-white footprints.
These footprints gradually merged into a single illuminated path.
“This is the Dao of Humans!” Chu Yun looked back, seeing this path, and suddenly awoke.
In an instant, he returned to the real world.
Still in the Eastern District, people swarmed around him. It was just that, without him realizing it, Chu Yun had already walked out of East Avenue.
“Good! The epiphany just now has allowed me to advance a great step on the Dao of Humans. All beings suffer; no matter what kind of life, it is filled with bitterness. Yet, it is precisely this bitterness that makes sweetness, success, and leisure so moving. A life lacking bitterness is not complete. The Dao of Humans contains sweetness within bitterness and bitterness within sweetness, its meaning is extraordinary.”
Chu Yun felt a surge of joy. Beast Tamers relied on external forces, but as one progressed to later stages, their own cultivation realm became increasingly important.
To advance from Jun level to Marquis level, one needed to find a path. This path was the fusion of life experience and realm.
To advance from Marquis level to King level, one needed to find a path that truly suited them.
To ascend to the peak of King level, one needed to perfect their path to great accomplishment, condense it into threads of Dao, and be qualified to integrate into the Xingzhou network.
Chu Yun’s combat strength could only be considered early Marquis level. However, his understanding of the Dao of Humans had progressed by leaps and bounds, reaching the mid-Marquis level. Now, this epiphany brought great rewards, instantly elevating Chu Yun’s realm to late Marquis level.
At this moment, he looked at his Spirit light again, and it had undergone some changes.
Within the Spirit light, the images corresponding to the myriad abilities like the Great Sword Potion representing the Divine Ability level Dao technique, the Golden Mountains and Silver Seas, the Falling Flowers and Flying Maidens representing Illusionary Immortal Dreamscape, as well as the Sky Fox and Drunken Snow Saber, were arranged from the inside out based on their closeness.
But in the very center of the Spirit light, a faint aura had taken over.
This aura was incredibly complex, containing bitterness, spice, sourness, and sweetness, as well as high spirits and despondency, loss and triumph. Words could not express even a fraction of it, and it was impossible to fully savor.
This was the Dao of Humans, the achievement born from his current understanding.
It was indeed the Dao most suited to Chu Yun. Even in its nascent form, it had occupied the very center of his Spirit light. Even the powerful Innate, Drunken Snow Saber, had to abdicate.
With this unexpected gain, Chu Yun no longer continued his stroll and returned to his residence, collapsing into sleep to recuperate.
This great epiphany had once again depleted his Spirit light, plunging it into a dim trough.
The night passed without incident.
By morning the next day, Chu Yun opened his sleepy eyes, stretched, and felt refreshed, as if his mind had been cleansed of dust. He felt completely renewed.
After a night of deep slumber, his Spirit light had fully recovered to its peak state.
But the next moment, Chu Yun’s body trembled. He sensed something was amiss: “No, this is bad! What time is it? The spars have already started?”
He quickly got out of bed and hurried towards the South District.
Master Wei Luhui was very angry!
He was a Weapon Forging Master, and even a pillar of the Weapon Forging world. He participated in almost every Academy Assembly, sparring with various experts.
His skills were superb. He had traveled to countries like Mengyuan Kingdom, Jianghan Kingdom, and Feng Xian Kingdom. Each time, he was warmly received by the Country Lords and sincerely invited to serve.
Furthermore, his seniority was immense, and his qualifications were deep. Even Feng Bole had to respectfully call him senior.
He had never expected to encounter such a situation.
He had been stood up!
He waited for half an hour, but his opponent still hadn’t shown up. After inquiring about his opponent’s information from the Academy staff, he became even more enraged.
“This junior who uses the pseudonym ‘Wushuang’ dares to be late for the Academy Assembly. To treat me, an elder, like this, shows no respect for teachers and elders! Young people nowadays are getting worse and worse. If he shows up, I will teach him a good lesson.” @.
