Yang Jun is trash, I’m not him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xu Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, knowing that her martial heart wasn't firm, nor was she without fear, but she hadn't truly seen a bloody scene and couldn't truly grasp the cruelty contained in his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yang Jun could reach Qi Gathering Great Perfection in such a short time, he was definitely not trash, but on the path of martial arts, talent and temperament were certainly important, but luck could not be ignored.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>There were not a few people participating in the martial arts examination with cultivation similar to Yang Jun’s, but he was the one crippled—this was luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Just don't get scared and cry in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xu Yang didn't say anything more.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Whether Xu Qing practiced martial arts or not made little difference to him; he would have to protect her anyway. Having some skills would make him feel more at ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Children grow up and eventually have to be let out to see the outside world. If Xu Qing listened to his arrangements for everything, she would only live as him.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Moreover, practicing martial arts could prolong life; if one couldn't live forever, one would eventually return to dust, so there was no need to be afraid of this or that.

Previously, the panel had simply and crudely given point rewards, but this time, it had actually listed the reasons for the point rewards.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He was greatly surprised and hurriedly looked carefully. Not competing for the top spot had actually given ten points, and the most was ascending the dragon, reaching fifty points.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Not killing Lu Ren and refusing Gu Haoming had also earned rewards, but killing Zhu Yang had earned no reward.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After pondering for a while, he couldn't figure out why the panel had changed, so he simply stopped thinking about it and focused on the points he had earned.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Overall, the harvest was great, and adding the points he had saved for backup, he had over a hundred points.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>[Comprehension: 75]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xu Yang immediately used fifty points to raise his comprehension to \"75.\" After a cool sensation in his head, he allocated ten points to the Vajra Skill according to his previous plan, leaving the remaining points for backup.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Putting on his clothes, he got out of bed and began to practice the Turtle-Snake Great Stance.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhou family!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The weather in July was stiflingly hot even in the morning, as if it were going to steam people alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhou Shunchang finished breakfast, picked up his tools, and wanted to go out.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Father, remember to buy some rice tonight; the rice jar is bottoming out again.\" His wife reminded him.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhou Shunchang said with dissatisfaction: \"Can’t you buy it yourself? I don't know when I’ll be back tonight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>His wife said: \"I have no money on me. If you give me money, I can go buy it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Why is there no money again?\" Zhou Shunchang frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He was no longer an accountant and had been sent out to be a small shopkeeper, earning six silver taels a month. Once the wages were issued, he gave them all to his wife for household expenses, so he had no money on him either.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>His wife sighed: \"Six silver taels, seven or eight mouths to feed, how is that enough? Father, why don't you find another accountant job and stop wasting time at the Huang family? They are venting their anger on you because of A-Yang and won't reuse you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Two bastards, so old and still eating off their father.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Toward his two sons who were still eating off him, he was also somewhat helpless.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It was fine when the monthly allowance was high, but now with only six taels, their savings were gradually being exhausted, and they were actually facing the predicament of not having enough to eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"It’s not as easy as you say. If I go to another family, the master will ask around and find out I was driven away because the accounts weren't clear; no one will dare to use me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He naturally knew that leaving the Huang family to work for another master was an option, but Second Master Huang used this excuse to suppress him, and others didn't dare to use him; even if he starved to death, he could only starve to death at the Huang family.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Then go find A-Yang and think of a way; do you really want the whole family to starve to death?\" His wife said.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As an uncle, how could he be embarrassed to ask his nephew?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Bang bang...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Just as Zhou Shunchang was about to speak, the courtyard gate was suddenly knocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Who is it, visiting so early in the morning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He had no choice but to take back what he was about to say and open the courtyard gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He saw the Huang family’s eldest master, Huang Xu, and the fifth master, Huang Jin, standing at the door with full smiles. Behind them followed a pig’s head that looked somewhat familiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Of course, it wasn't a real pig’s head, but a person whose face was swollen beyond recognition. His face was bruised everywhere, his eyes were narrowed into slits, and he even let out a strange laugh at Zhou Shunchang.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Little one greets Eldest Master, Fifth Master!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhou Shunchang didn't pay attention to the pig’s head, but hurriedly and respectfully saluted Huang Xu and Huang Jin.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Old Zhou, don't be so polite; we’re all one family. Calling me Eldest Master is too distant. If you don't mind, you can call me Big Brother like them in the future.\" Huang Xu hurriedly stepped forward to support Zhou Shunchang’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He was immediately flattered. When had the Eldest Master ever been so kind, actually letting him call him Big Brother? Since the Huang family had risen, the Eldest Master hadn't really spoken to him much.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Eldest Master, you are shaming this little one; how would I dare to call you Big Brother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As Zhou Shunchang spoke, he heard Huang Xu’s voice in his ear: \"Carry it in!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He looked up and realized that besides Huang Xu, Huang Jin, and that pig’s head, there were three Huang family servants following outside, all carrying shoulder poles, with both rice and meat in the baskets, as well as some melons, fruits, and cloth.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhou Shunchang was dumbfounded. Huang Xu and Huang Jin came to his house early in the morning to give him gifts?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>His wife, Wang, was also dumbfounded, thinking she was still dreaming.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Old Zhou, I was in seclusion recently and only found out yesterday about what Huang Ping, this bastard, did to you. Today I brought him here to apologize.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Huang Xu said, shouting at the pig’s head: \"Why don't you hurry over and apologize.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Huang Ping hurriedly walked over, wishing he could lower his head to the ground: \"Old Zhou, I’m sorry, I was wrong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Huang Xu pointed at Huang Ping, who looked like a pig’s head, and said: \"I beat this dog thing up after finding out about this yesterday. If you’re not satisfied, tell me, and you can punish him however you want.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This pig’s head was actually Huang Ping.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhou Shunchang was tongue-tied, his heart moved to tears. The Huang family hadn't forgotten his contributions; the Eldest Master knew about his situation and had actually beaten his own brother so miserably.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Eldest Master, why did you beat Second Master into such a state? This was just a small matter.\" Zhou Shunchang’s voice trembled slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Any dissatisfaction at this moment vanished; the Huang family’s Eldest Master respected him so much, he felt that the little grievance didn't count for anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"This dog thing treated you like this, Old Zhou, yet you still speak for him. If I didn't hate him, I would really want to beat him again.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Don't worry, I know about the matter. You go back to the accounting room today to work, I’ll raise your silver to three taels, and no one will dare to make things difficult for you in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Huang Xu looked solemn, which made Zhou Shunchang moved again.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"My uncle will not return to the Huang family!\" Xu Yang stepped in.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seeing him, the three Huang brothers had their expressions change, because they all knew why they had come to apologize.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It wasn't because they knew they had wronged Zhou Shunchang, but because Xu Yang had ascended the dragon, and the Huang family couldn't afford to offend him.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"For the sake of past feelings, I won't pursue the matter of slandering my uncle, but I don't care what method you use, restore my uncle’s reputation and clarify to the outside world that it was you who slandered him. If you can't restore it, don't blame me for not remembering old feelings.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xu Yang’s gaze swept coldly over Huang Ping, the immense pressure making Huang Ping break out in a cold sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"A-Yang, why are you here?\" Zhou Shunchang’s expression also changed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He didn't want Xu Yang to know about this; it seemed Xu Yang already knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Uncle!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xu Yang saluted Zhou Shunchang and said: \"You were implicated by me and bullied like this; if I didn't come, would I still be a person?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"They...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhou Shunchang wanted to help the Huang family explain, but was interrupted by Xu Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"They don't really feel that slandering you was their mistake; it’s because your nephew, I, ascended the dragon, that they came to apologize.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhou Shunchang was struck by lightning. So the humble and fawning attitude wasn't because he had been loyal to the Huang family for many years, but because his nephew had ascended the dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Even coming to apologize, they were actually playing tricks.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Wait, ascended the dragon?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Reacting, the disappointment in his heart was replaced by a huge surprise. He had already forgotten the unhappiness brought by the Huang family’s affairs and looked at Xu Yang with joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>His nephew had actually ascended the dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xu Yang didn't pay attention to Zhou Shunchang, whose mouth was smiling from ear to ear, and looked at Huang Xu: \"You won't agree to this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1828,"2026-06-16T12:17:41.122Z","2026-06-17T08:54:06.718Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","e855cb10ffec2b3c4a5e4f83c821a27b3c951e02c177bb3a6a38929478f9a83f","starting-with-the-diamond-exercise-to-achieve-sa-chapter-91","starting-with-the-diamond-exercise-to-achieve-sa-chapter-89",410,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-with-the-diamond-exercise-to-achieve-sa-cover.jpg"]
