Chapter 63: He's Taking Advantage of You

A thought flashed through Fang Che's mind like lightning.

In his previous life, he encountered three enemies like the ones Sun Yuan described. Originally, their strength was comparable to his, even clearly weaker.

But three to five years later, when he fought them again, he was always at a disadvantage. If he hadn't desperately escaped, he would have been killed on the spot!

They were all around the same age, with similar aptitudes, which was why they reached similar levels of cultivation at that age.

In those three to five years, he had also trained and fought diligently, so why were they able to surpass him so much?

This puzzled him for many years.

He could never figure it out.

So, the Only Me Orthodox Sect actually had this Divine Power Infusion!

This was truly something he had never thought of, a major secret that no one had ever discovered!

"This time it's at a relatively low level, it's for King-level experts aiming to break through to the Emperor level. But this opportunity is still very rare!"

Sun Yuan transmitted, "When I go this time, after the Divine Power Infusion, and return to cultivate peacefully for a period, I should be able to reach the Emperor level. At the very least, I can reach the peak of the King level."

"If I can't break through to the Emperor level within three years after the Divine Power Infusion, I will forever lose the chance for another Divine Power Infusion. But for me, at my age, whether I have this opportunity again in the future or not, I am very satisfied."

Sun Yuan smiled happily.

Sun Yuan's eyes were filled with anticipation.

Clearly, he was not truly content with what he had said about being satisfied whether he had this opportunity again or not. He was far from satisfied.

Because with this Divine Power Infusion, he had many more thoughts about the future.

Fang Che repeatedly congratulated him, while internally, he was overwhelmed by waves of shock.

King-level experts receiving Divine Power Infusion to break through to the Emperor level was considered 'a relatively low level.'

So what about the Emperor level? Monarch level? Sovereign level?

And even Duan Xiyang, someone at the peak level of the Cloud Weapons Ranking, could receive Divine Power Infusion to enhance his power?

Then...

What about those at even higher levels?

Fang Che suddenly understood the true reason behind the rapid development of the Only Me Orthodox Sect over the years.

Legend had it that many years ago, the Only Me Orthodox Sect was merely a large sect.

But slowly, it developed to the point where it now swept across the entire continent, with the top expert in the Weapons Ranking, intimidating the entire universe.

Perhaps this Divine Power was part of the reason.

...

Yen Meng had already returned to her room and closed the door.

She quietly peeled away a section of the wall, removed a brick, revealing a small pipe hidden behind it, and pressed her ear tightly against it.

Since it required voice transmission, it had to be something important.

However, Fang Che couldn't use voice transmission yet, so she could still catch some of the conversation.

Thus, she immediately pretended to avoid suspicion.

"Divine Power Infusion..."

Fang Che appeared fascinated, eagerly saying, "Master, how could there be such a thing? What kind of god can be so miraculous?"

"I really don't know. But the Divine Power Infusion is real."

Sun Yuan said, "I think it's the Celestial Centipede God, but... the Celestial Centipede God, we haven't seen it either. In any case, everyone is speculating. Everyone knows it exists, but how it comes about... no one knows. Only the main sect knows everything!"

"I see."

Fang Che looked delighted, "Master, it seems you've truly hit the jackpot this time. When you come back, won't I be considered second-generation? I can bully whoever I want, chop whoever I want, kill whoever I want!"

Sun Yuan laughed heartily, "That's right. If Master truly succeeds in the enhancement, I'll be your backing! You can bully whoever you want, chop whoever you want, kill whoever you want! Master will support you! Hahaha..."

Sun Yuan thought his disciple was joking.

So naturally, Sun Yuan went along with it.

But he certainly didn't realize that Fang Che wasn't joking at all.

Fang Che genuinely planned that once he was in the One Heart Sect, he would start taking down anyone he didn't like!

A King-level expert was already formidable, let alone an Emperor-level one.

At the initial stage, there would be no problem at all!

By the time his master and others like Qian Sanjiang and Yin Shen Gong could no longer protect him, he would likely have found new powerful allies.

His plan was flawless!

These words were not transmitted via voice.

In her room, Yen Meng caught several key phrases: Divine Power Infusion? What god? Master hit the jackpot? Second generation? Successful enhancement? Master as your backing?

After a long while, she heard Fang Che inviting his master to stay for dinner.

Yen Meng quietly stood up, replaced the brick, and moved the wall covering back, sealing it perfectly.

It was completely unnoticeable.

Even if by some coincidence the wall covering were forcibly removed, it would only reveal a brick.

Yen Meng had set up six such eavesdropping devices.

Originally, there were more, but she removed the ones in places too easily exposed.

She still needed to continue playing her role as the sweet and naive maid, so leaving just a few was sufficient.

She couldn't take unnecessary risks.

...

Fang Che appeared very happy and insisted on having his master stay for dinner to celebrate.

Sun Yuan, already in high spirits, naturally went along with it and stayed.

So, in a rare occurrence, he stayed for a meal and drank two jars of wine.

He didn't check Fang Che's cultivation at all.

He didn't even check his techniques!

He was completely hands-off with this disciple.

Because... before drinking, he demonstrated a move, and Fang Che pointed out seven inaccuracies.

Sun Yuan was crestfallen, and what was meant to be a farewell drink nearly turned into a sullen one, so he decided not to bother with anything.

Sun Yuan left.

Regarding Fang Che's cultivation, he only left a nearly useless piece of advice.

"The spirit crystals I gave you, you can use them once you break through to the Martial Ancestor level."

This was as good as saying nothing.

Fang Che knew that the academy's instructors wouldn't allow students to use spirit crystals for cultivation right now.

Strictly speaking, unless one has broken through to a Grandmaster and achieved innate meridians, using spirit crystals is prohibited.

Sun Yuan left, and Fang Che didn't feel particularly happy about it. For him, it didn't matter whether Sun Yuan was around; he would continue doing what he needed to do.

But for Yen Meng, it felt like a heavy shackle had been removed!

She became cheerful, her face glowing, and her mood significantly brightened.

After all, Sun Yuan's cultivation level was far higher than hers. If he had paid close attention to her and observed carefully, he could have easily discovered her discrepancies.

Now, he was finally gone.

Yen Meng's steps became lighter.

She even quietly hummed a couple of tunes.

Of course, humming two lines led to a scolding: "You've been cultivating for so long and only reached Warrior Level Eight, and instead of working hard, you're singing! Are you really so happy with being this weak?"

"!!!"

If—just if—there was a possibility, Yen Meng felt she could shove Fang Che's annoying mouth straight into a toilet!

Too annoying!

Yen Meng pouted and turned to practice her skills.

Fang Che sat alone in the study, pondering the situation.

The news about the Divine Power Infusion had to be sent out. How much had that girl overheard?

The part transmitted via voice was certainly not heard.

But this matter had to be sent out, though not immediately.

If the huge secret that the outside world didn't know suddenly became known to the Guardian Alliance after Sun Yuan told him, both he and Yen Meng would be at great risk of exposure.

The people of the Only Me Orthodox Sect were not like the Guardians, who needed evidence.

They really only needed suspicion to kill.

They wouldn't tolerate even the slightest doubt!

What to do?

Fang Che ultimately decided to hold onto this information for now.

If Yen Meng wanted to send it, she could first send the part she knew herself...

...

That night.

Fang Che brought the knife, spear, sword, and halberd into his room.

Sitting cross-legged, he stared intently at the four weapons.

Then he focused on the spear.

From the spear tail, the shaft, all the way to the red tassel, the spear ring, the spear spine, the spear blade, and the spear tip...

He examined it thoroughly.

Closing his eyes, the complete outline of spear techniques appeared in his mind.

Small figures holding spears performed various movements, all precise and rigorous, purely basic actions.

The night quietly passed.

In the morning, Fang Che opened his eyes with a sigh.

"The saying 'a month for the staff, a year for the knife, a lifetime for the spear' truly does not deceive."

The structure of the spear seemed even simpler than that of the knife and sword; a spearhead in front, a spear shaft behind, the spearhead resembling a short sword.

A very simple structure.

Even someone untrained in martial arts could cause harm with a simple thrust.

But mastering the spear is more difficult than mastering the knife, sword, or staff!

Yet no matter how difficult, is it harder than facing life and death?

Fang Che gently stroked the spear shaft, feeling the cold steel transmitting an emotion to him.

It was the desire to kill that any weapon would possess.

"From now on, the knife will always be my visible weapon; when facing a strong enemy, if the knife can't prevail, then the sword will; if the sword fails, the Fangtian Huaji will come out, giving the impression that all my trump cards are used."

"If the sword can win, let it win, but if it comes to the Fangtian Huaji, it's a fight to the death."

"As for the spear, my destiny weapon, it will not be used unless absolutely necessary. As long as the spear is with me, I live; if the spear is lost, I die!"

...

For the next period, everything was peaceful.

Fang Che attended classes daily, trained, spent time with his classmates, and occasionally beat up Mo Ganyun. Then he'd go home, continue his training, sleep, and routinely scold Yen Meng.

Mo Ganyun also got into the habit of treating Fang Che to meals every day. It seemed to become a routine.

Every mealtime, Mo Ganyun would stand up and say, "Let's go! I'll treat you to a meal!"

"Alright!"

The two would walk side by side.

Both were relatively wealthy, but Fang Che never paid for meals; it was always Mo Ganyun who treated.

Except for the meals Fang Che ate at home, there was no exception.

Gradually, Mo Ganyun earned the nickname "The Big Spender" among his classmates.

Some people were particularly displeased by this.

"Fang Che clearly has so many credits, yet he never spends a cent and eats off Mo Ganyun every day. Mo Ganyun, that fool, keeps treating him every time... How dense can he be?"

Especially Fu Chengyun, the third genius in the class, couldn't stand it.

Of course, what bothered him the most was, why the hell doesn't Mo Ganyun treat me?

I'm always the third best in the class, aren't I?

Do you only see the top?

He's taking advantage of you, can't you see?

[Four things: First, without noticing, the book has reached 220,000 words. We're only in the sixties in chapters, which is over the limit. That's my fault for having too many words per chapter. Usually, 200,000 words are enough to start charging, but we haven't finished the process yet.

Second, my old habit has kicked in, so there will be three updates today. Two chapters at 5:30 PM.

Third, it seems like you've forgotten to give me your monthly votes and recommendations.

Fourth, can more of you follow the updates on Qidian?]
