PFC Chapter 9: Double understanding!
Chapter 9: Double understanding!
"Bullfrog, I never imagined you had such a heavenly talent."
Li Wudao approached Jiang Churan and feigned surprise.
The latter had a furrowed brow, seemingly lost in thought.
"you lose."
Li Wudao shrugged and grinned mischievously, "A bet is a bet, you wouldn't renege on it, would you?"
"Do you know how much you deserve a beating right now?"
Jiang Churan glared at him, her bright eyes filled with displeasure.
She, the dignified empress, was actually outsmarted by a mere boy! How despicable!
The girl took a deep breath and said calmly, "I can protect you for a year, provided that you don't cause trouble and don't bother me unless it's something important."
"make a deal."
Li Wudao nodded with pleasure.
He didn't care about the details at all; he just wanted to have a chance to get in touch with the other person.
A year is a long time; it's enough for him to develop stealthily and collect a lot of rewards.
"I'll return the elixir to you."
Jiang Churan handed the pill to Li Wudao.
Since she lost, she naturally had no face to take it anymore.
"Here you go, just take it. Consider it protection money, so you won't work for nothing."
Li Wudao did not answer.
He racked his brains trying to invest in some high-end items for the little maid, hoping to get some high-level equipment as a reward.
How could I possibly get it back?
"Okay, I'll consider it another favor I owe you, and I'll repay you double when I have the chance."
Jiang Churan didn't stand on ceremony and accepted the pills.
She needs to improve her strength as soon as possible before she can have a greater chance of awakening the Azure Phoenix bloodline.
A mere Heavenly-level aptitude is nothing compared to the perfect ancient Azure Phoenix bloodline, like a firefly compared to the bright moon—they are not even in the same league.
[Ding! Investment successful. Investment item: One bottle of Replenishing Essence Pill]
[Investing in the chosen one triggers a rebate mechanism, resulting in a massive reward.]
[Rewards are being settled...]
[Congratulations, host! You have received a special reward: 100x increase in comprehension.]
[Hundredfold Comprehension: Clear mind, enter a meditative state in an instant, remember techniques and combat skills at a glance, master them independently, and apply them to ten different situations]
Li Wudao was stunned by the sudden surprise.
next moment.
He felt a surge of energy in his mind, as if a great bell was ringing. A feeling of swelling and lethargy washed over him, and his eyes closed involuntarily. He almost fell asleep.
It took Li Wudao ten breaths to regain consciousness from that peculiar state.
When he opened his eyes and looked around at the scenery, a subtle joy arose in his heart.
He seemed to be able to sense the joys and sorrows and changes of heaven and earth and all things; it was a feeling that was hard to describe.
A hundredfold increase in comprehension, awesome!
Li Wudao was in a great mood, much happier than if he had become a true disciple.
His guess was correct.
As expected, the higher the quality of the investment items, the better the feedback rewards.
While the Emperor Wu's Heart Sutra is indeed precious, it pales in comparison to the passive effect of a hundredfold increase in comprehension.
After all, with his comprehension boosted a hundredfold, what kind of skill couldn't he learn?
At this moment, Jiang Churan vaguely sensed something was amiss.
She looked Li Wudao up and down.
For some reason, I felt that the other person was different, more confident.
And those eyes seemed even deeper and brighter.
She shook her head, realizing she was overthinking things.
It must be that Li Wudao's sudden transformation from an ordinary, mediocre person into a top-tier genius made her overreact.
[Ding! Jiang Churan's favorability +5, current favorability value 10]
Li Wudao raised an eyebrow slightly. Oh, there's an unexpected surprise.
.........
Time passes little by little.
Only a little over a thousand disciples remained after the assessment.
The expressions of many high-ranking members of the Xuantian Sect gradually turned somewhat disappointed.
Among 30,000 people, only Li Wudao possessed the qualification of a prefecture-level official.
However, with Jiang Churan, a monstrous genius, it's not entirely unacceptable.
at last,
The test was about to end when the last disciple arrived.
"Qi Xingyu, low-grade Earth level, is eligible to become a true disciple!"
As this sound rang out
All eyes turned to the boy in front of the stone tablet.
The boy was about 17 years old, dressed in expensive brocade clothes, with a handsome figure and an air of unyielding arrogance about his brows. He held a folding fan and looked every bit the aloof and noble young master.
"His surname is Qi... Could this young man be a member of the royal family of the Great Qi Dynasty?"
"I remember that Peak Master Cheng took in a disciple a few years ago, I think his name was Qi Xinghai. I wonder if the two are related?"
On the stands, the major peak masters were somewhat suspicious.
"Just as you guessed, this boy is Xinghai's younger brother. He told me about this a few days ago."
Cheng Yuanliang was an elderly man with half-white hair, a thin face, and sharp eyes like an eagle's.
"So don't bother with that kid later, he's my disciple."
Cheng Yuanliang stroked his beard, his tone exceptionally smug.
"Old Cheng, you're really being unfair."
"Yeah, you snatched a genius last time, and now you want one too. That's going too far."
The other peak masters felt extremely disappointed; another promising talent had been lost.
But there's nothing we can do; they're brothers, after all, we can't just forcibly separate them.
"Oh, the last one to appear. That was a pretty good performance. I'll give you 99 points. I'm leaving one point so you won't get too cocky."
Li Wudao was amused; the final act of the grand finale was quite significant.
at this time,
Qi Xingyu strode forward, gentle and handsome like a refined gentleman, towards the qualifying area, captivating the hearts of many young girls.
"Where is this guy looking..."
Li Wudao sensed something was wrong; it seemed like the other party was heading in his direction.
Under the eyes of everyone,
Qi Xingyu bypassed Li Wudao and went straight to Jiang Churan.
He gently waved his folding fan, revealing a warm smile, and said in a deep, magnetic voice:
"Hello Fairy Jiang, my name is Qi Xingyu, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Nearby, most of the girls were captivated, staring at Qi Xingyu with infatuated expressions.
Family members, who knows?
Not only is he talented, from a good family, and good-looking, but he also has a gentle personality; he's practically my dream lover.
Immediately afterwards, the girls looked at Jiang Churan with unfriendly eyes, filled with envy, jealousy and hatred.
They all sighed, "Why wasn't that person me?"
"Good lad, you came prepared. I was wondering why your eyes kept looking this way. Turns out you've got your eye on Jiang Xiaoniu."
Li Wudao raised an eyebrow, his eyes darting between Qi Xingyu and Jiang Churan, looking on with a gossipy expression.
Handsome men and beautiful women.
He was very curious about what kind of sparks would fly between the two of them.
However, Jiang Churan's reaction surprised everyone.
"You're getting ahead of yourself. I don't want to know you."
The girl glanced at him only once before turning her attention away, her tone cold and distant.
The atmosphere froze instantly, and there was complete silence.
Everyone looked at him strangely, none of them expecting that such a handsome and talented young man would suffer such a setback.
Qi Xingyu was stunned on the spot, his face turning pale and then red.
With his status and talent, dealing with young girls would be a piece of cake for him.
He never expected to be rejected so decisively today.
Beside him, Li Wudao's face turned red from holding back laughter, and he almost burst out laughing.
He looked at Qi Xingyu with some pity, feeling embarrassed just thinking about it, so embarrassed that he could dig a hole in his toes.
"what are you laughing at?"
Qi Xingyu looked at him, his expression slightly grim.
He noticed the boy next to Jiang Churan a long time ago, and watching them talk from afar, he felt very uncomfortable.
This time, I've made a huge fool of myself again, and I'm even more furious.
"I remember happy things."
Li Wudao scratched his head.
"What happy thing?"
Qi Xingyu looked displeased and pressed for an answer, giving the impression that he wouldn't be satisfied until he got a satisfactory response.
"Uh... Lai Fusheng is here."
Li Wudao responded weakly.
"And who is Laifu?"
Qi Xingyu frowned, sensing that something was wrong.
Li Wudao smiled and said, "It's my dog."
"laugh--"
Jiang Churan lightly covered the corner of her mouth, blinked, and a blush appeared on her pretty face, making her very alluring.
Realizing what was happening, she quickly composed herself and regained her composure.
At the same time, he secretly grumbled to himself.
Li Wudao is truly hateful. I almost laughed at him. Where is the Empress's majesty?
"Boy, I am the seventh prince of the Great Qi Dynasty, how dare you play me for fools?!"
Qi Xingyu's lips twitched slightly, his fists cracked, and his anger reached its peak.
As the seventh prince of the Great Qi Dynasty, he held a noble status, and few dared to mock him like this.
