Chapter 62: Sun Yuan Wants to Leave, Divine Power Infusion

Li Changkong shook his head: "I don't know, but even if I did, I wouldn't tell you. Just Duan Xiyang alone has already made the martial artists of the world feel dejected. If this kind of news spreads further..."

Fang Che nodded. Indeed, this was something to consider.

Fortunately, the brilliance of Duan Xiyang and the high attention on the Yun Duan Weaponry Rankings overshadowed this point.

Or rather, it made this point less noticeable.

A blind spot under the light.

"Go."

Li Changkong said softly, "This world is not as simple as everyone sees, nor as superficial as everyone understands. The path of martial arts is also not as clear as everyone thinks."

"If you want to see broader and deeper landscapes, then keep climbing."

"Every time you reach the peak that once blocked your view, you'll find that the world is even more vast and boundless."

He patted Fang Che's shoulder, speaking earnestly, "Take some time to consider, then secretly choose your personal secret: your destiny weapon."

...

Fang Che left the office and did not return to the classroom.

Instead, he followed the path within the academy grounds to a nearby forest.

Leaning against a tree, he closed his eyes.

Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled shadows on his face, reminding him of the morning he had just been reborn.

The interplay of light and shadow created patterns on his body and face, with shadows dominating, covering eighty percent of his body, and only a few points of light.

It felt as if he was alone amidst a throng of demons, maneuvering with all his might.

He felt his thoughts were in disarray.

Thinking about the Cloud Weapons Ranking, Duan Xiyang, and the leader of the Only Me Orthodox Sect.

Then he wondered: Is the leader of the Only Me Orthodox Sect the ultimate controller?

His thoughts churned, and he remembered Bing Shangxue's words: Be a human, not a ghost.

Li Changkong's final words also lingered in his mind.

A broader, more beautiful landscape...

"It seems my cultivation in my previous life was still too low."

Fang Che sighed, "In my past life, I only reached the Imperial level and didn't qualify to access advanced cultivation or truly secret knowledge, nor did I have the ability to see further horizons."

"Don't think that living another life makes you invincible. The reason things are going smoothly now is only because you're in the guise of an eighteen-year-old boy."

"If they used the methods for dealing with Imperial-level figures against you, you'd probably already be dead."

He warned himself.

He activated the Ice-Clear Spirit Platform technique.

Clearing away the chaotic thoughts completely.

Finally, as his mind settled, he focused on his destiny weapon.

What to use as his destiny weapon?

Knife, spear, sword, halberd.

Knife: his nominal master now is the Flying Knife King, Sun Yuan, so when others face him, the first thing they'll guard against is his knife.

The knife can't be his destiny weapon, too obvious.

Sword: in his previous life, he practiced the sword.

If he chose the sword, some habits and sword techniques from his past life might be instinctively used at certain times.

Once the opponent realizes he has past-life memories, he will become the primary assassination target of the Only Me Orthodox Sect, surpassing Xue Fuxiao!

At that point, even if Xue Fuxiao guards him day and night, he would inevitably be killed.

A dead end.

Moreover, although the sword is a weapon of kings, Fang Che understood that when you wield a sword and face opponents of the same level using heavy weapons, the frustration is indescribable.

The entire time, you're dodging, looking for opportunities.

For example, against those using hammers, Fangtian Huaji (a type of halberd), staves, or large knives...

When their strength is comparable to his, the advantages their weapons hold are countless.

So the sword cannot be his destiny weapon either.

In fact, Fang Che discarded the sword as his choice even before the knife.

How about the halberd?

The Fangtian Huaji can be considered the king of weapons; it combines the features of knives, spears, staves, hammers, and swords.

It can be light or heavy, long or short, capable of long-range attacks, and close combat.

But it's difficult to learn and master.

Yet Fang Che was very interested and tentatively listed it as his second destiny weapon.

As for his primary destiny weapon, Fang Che had long decided.

The spear!

In the last moments of his previous life, that spear light that flashed before his eyes became his obsession.

The White Bone Dream-Shattering Spear.

When he was reborn as Fang Che, the first light he saw reminded him of the spear light.

Throughout this time, whenever he saw sunlight shining through, he would think of the White Bone Dream-Shattering Spear.

If one day, I could defeat Duan Xiyang with a spear...

Fang Che opened his eyes, meeting the beam of light streaming through the gaps in the leaves.

The brilliant light shot straight through, piercing the heavens and earth, crossing time and distance, directly into his pupils!

It was like a spear descending from the sky!

Fang Che squinted, his eyes meeting that ray of sunlight.

Slowly, the sunlight seemed to transform into the light in his eyes.

Brilliant light.

...

Yen Meng quietly sighed in relief, unlocked the door, and walked out.

She had broken through.

Level Two of the General Tier.

Her heart was somewhat emotional.

Recently, half of the supplements Fang Che collected for nourishing the soul and body and enhancing cultivation were given to Yen Meng.

With the cultivation of the Infinite True Scripture, Fang Che's physique and aptitude progressed almost daily, and his cultivation advanced rapidly.

After consuming half of those natural treasures, he felt they no longer provided any benefit.

So the remaining ones were all given to Yen Meng, forcefully making her eat them.

As a result, Yen Meng's cultivation had also soared as if she were cheating in a game.

Moreover, she consumed two Tianmai Red Fruits, greatly enhancing her aptitude.

These days, with her cultivation progress, Yen Meng felt like she was dreaming.

After cleaning the large courtyard, she sat on the swing, looking at the residence she grew increasingly fond of.

"Peaceful times."

Yen Meng propped her cheeks.

With a swoosh.

Sun Yuan entered the courtyard.

"The little girl is here by herself."

"Hello, Master Sun. I'll go make you some tea."

Sun Yuan sat comfortably in the reclining chair under the pavilion in the courtyard, sipping tea, and asked, "This courtyard, just set up?"

He pointed to one side of the courtyard under the rain shelter, where there were knives, spears, swords, halberds, and other eighteen types of weapons.

All were cast from refined steel, exuding the unique texture of metal.

The grip areas all had a unique patina from use.

"Yes. The young master just brought them back. He practices with them every afternoon and evening until midnight."

"Good."

Sun Yuan was very pleased.

Seeing the different wear marks on the weapons compared to other places, it was clear that a lot of effort had been put into them.

My disciple is very diligent.

...

As the sun set, Fang Che returned.

"Master? You came so early today?"

Fang Che was somewhat surprised.

"I mainly came to check on your progress."

Sun Yuan said with some longing, "After today, I have to take a trip to New Chu's capital. It will probably take three months before I can return."

Yen Meng, who was carrying tea over, couldn't help but feel a stir in her heart: Sun Yuan is leaving?

"Master, you have to go to New Chu?"

Fang Che frowned, "What are you going there for? Although that's our territory, as far as I know, our One Heart Sect's foundation there... doesn't seem very solid. Moreover, the factions there are fiercely competitive, and experts are everywhere. Master, although you are at the King level, in Xuanwu City of New Chu... it's not looking good."

"Yes, it's very dangerous there, one has to be very careful."

Sun Yuan smiled, "The leader specifically asked me to go, so I have no choice. Besides, this is a good thing."

"A good thing? Is there something important?" Fang Che asked with concern, "Master, please do not take it lightly."

Feeling his disciple's filial concern, Sun Yuan was very comforted.

Originally not wanting to say anything, Sun Yuan now decided to speak to reassure his disciple, "This time, it really is a good thing. It's a quota allocated by the main sect to various sects and organizations; our One Heart Sect was given three slots. Normally, it wouldn't have been my turn, but I guess I got lucky because of you. The leader personally named me to go."

Sun Yuan smiled and lowered his voice, "Divine Power Infusion, to enhance strength."

Fang Che was greatly astonished, "Is there really such a thing?"

This shock was not feigned; he truly had never heard of such a strange event in both his lives.

Divine Power Infusion?

What is that?

Sun Yuan gave a mysterious smile, his voice suddenly condensed into a line and drilled into Fang Che's ear, "This is the greatest secret of the divine sect!"

"Huh?"

Fang Che cooperatively displayed shock and bewilderment.

Why start using voice transmission?

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Yen Meng standing not far away and couldn't help but feel a bit regretful.

This girl probably heard the earlier part, but she wouldn't be able to hear the transmitted part now.

Yen Meng obediently bowed, "I'll go brew tea."

She turned and left.

Fang Che ignored Yen Meng and immediately said to Sun Yuan, "Since it's a secret, Master doesn't need to tell me."

Since Sun Yuan had already decided to say it and had started to, how could he stop? If he were to be persuaded by Fang Che not to continue, all the previous mystery and voice transmission would become a joke.

In front of his disciple, Sun Yuan couldn't afford to lose face.

He waved his hand and continued transmitting his voice, "No worries, what's there to fear in telling you? You might not have noticed, but there's a strange phenomenon in these thousands of years of battles."

"What strange phenomenon?"

"It's that the cultivation progress of the so-called guardians and so-called righteous people is not as fast as our Only Me Orthodox Sect."

"Ordinarily, evenly matched opponents, after a certain period, suddenly surpass the righteous side significantly, catching them off guard!"

Sun Yuan continued to transmit his voice, "The most obvious example is the recent battle between Elder Duan and Xue Fuxiao; before this, Elder Duan had been defeated by Xue Fuxiao hundreds of times. The difference in their strength was also very clear, so our Only Me Orthodox Sect was always suppressed."

"But this time, Xue Fuxiao was defeated by Elder Duan! This was unimaginable before. At their level, how can their progress be so rapid?"

"All of this is because of the Divine Power Infusion."

Sun Yuan said mysteriously.

Fang Che's face appeared calm yet excited, even somewhat fervent, "Is this really possible?"

But inside, he was experiencing a storm of shock.

......

[The other day, I mentioned an old fantasy genre, and many were confused. Let me explain. The following is from the author's note. Don't let it affect your reading experience.]

Right now, I'm writing this, which belongs to the old-school fantasy genre, slow-paced.

However, with the fast-paced society today, most modern fantasy titles are quite casual. Mostly, anyway.

Moreover, in our kind, the protagonist usually has to struggle, fight, and achieve on their own.

But nowadays, everyone understands. Lying flat and having everything fall into place without doing anything is what most people prefer [including myself, I also fantasize about that kind of life].

Reading is about relaxation, right? A system, signing in, and having everything with a simple thought. How nice?

You don't even have to lift a finger to gain thousands of years of cultivation. How great.

Besides, our old-school fantasy is fictional anyway, so is that kind, but it's more enjoyable and relaxing.

So, our kind belongs to the deep and tragic genre, and it's too slow-paced and not popular now.

Let me tell you a secret, I also read those. They're so satisfying!

But, I can't write those.

I can only take it slow.

Of course, there are those who write old-school fantasy really well, but I don't have that skill.

Keep a calm mindset.

Write seriously, do right by myself, and justify the money you spend.

I think that's enough.

By the way, I'm not trying to start a fight here, so troublemakers, don't come looking for me.

If you do, I'll mute you. — Yes, consider this a warning upfront.
