Chapter 643: Talent: Music Theory

Damn it, you do good deeds without expecting anything in return, I do good deeds without expecting anything in return either, but this time, with my help, you've loosened your bottleneck and even broken through your cultivation. From now on, if you don't continue to act bravely for justice, see how I'll deal with you!

Wang Ping'an almost exerted all his strength, helping Feng Yanrong break through her bottleneck; he could clearly sense that Feng Yanrong's aura had changed noticeably. He cursed under his breath, about to continue helping, when out of the corner of his eye he noticed that the spirit deer beneath Feng Yanrong's feet seemed to show a human-like gratitude in its eyes, and he silently exclaimed in surprise:

"No way, I'm helping this woman, and it can tell? That smart? But also, given its abilities, it's comparable to the divine powers of a Nascent Soul cultivator; its wisdom might even surpass that of an ordinary person. It's so smart it can see that what I'm doing is perfectly normal!"

Time passed unnoticed, and Wang Ping'an was nearly exhausted to death before he realized that Feng Yanrong, who had been playing the same tune over and over, suddenly stopped her hand movements, the music cutting off abruptly; however, if one looked closely, one could clearly see Feng Yanrong's aura changing at a visible speed.

From a soaring posture it gradually changed to that of an ancient well without ripples!

"Looks like her bottleneck has been completely broken through!"

Seeing this, Wang Ping'an also breathed a sigh of relief; out of the corner of his eye he glanced at the round dome surrounding Feng Yanrong, then at the spirit deer beneath her feet. With this spirit deer present, even if a vicious villain happened to pass by, Feng Yanrong would likely encounter no danger, and he thought to himself:

"Time to leave!"

The spirit deer watched Wang Ping'an's retreating back as he controlled the paper person to leave; the gratitude in its eyes gradually turned to curiosity, until it noticed signs of awakening on Feng Yanrong's body, whereupon it withdrew its gaze.

After a long while.

Feng Yanrong suddenly opened her eyes; her beautiful eyes were full of fatigue, but even more so of delight, and she exclaimed excitedly:

"I never imagined that today's battle would actually let me make rapid progress in 'The World's First Famous Sword Melody'; the bottleneck that had persisted for a long time can now be easily broken through..."

Before she could finish speaking, Feng Yanrong suddenly realized, looked up, and saw not only that the solar flying swords that had been besieging her were gone, but also that Wang Ping'an's controlled paper persons had vanished. About to ask where her little You and Wang Ping'an had gone, she received a message from her little You in her mind.

"You say that the paper persons that just attacked us weren't bad people, and that I could break through a bottleneck that hadn't loosened in ages is all thanks to his help?"

Feng Yanrong frowned slightly, about to rebut the message sent by her little You, but the words rose to her lips and she couldn't help swallowing them back, instead saying:

"What you said is correct; I don't know if he's a good person, but at least, my breakthrough is inseparable from his help!"

Don't think that just because she had been playing 'The World's First Famous Sword Melody' and fighting Wang Ping'an a moment ago, she soon fell into a state of emptiness and clarity, with one inspiration after another arising in her mind—insights into that sword melody—and she simultaneously understood those insights while continuing to play the tune.

She no longer paid any further attention to the outside situation!

However.

She faintly felt that Wang Ping'an's attack style had obviously changed a lot, his attack power increased by more than double compared to before; instead of trying to break through her little You's defensive divine ability to take her life as before, he now attacked the sword apparatuses formed by her playing the melody. Each strike precisely hit the weak points of those sword apparatuses she played, deepening her insight into 'The World's First Famous Sword Melody'.

To put it bluntly.

She could break through the long-standing barrier of 'The World's First Famous Sword Melody'; it cannot be said that all the credit belongs to Wang Ping'an, but at least eighty percent or more of the credit is his.

"Could it be that I misunderstood him, and he's actually not an evil cultivator..."

Feng Yanrong couldn't help but doubt her first impression of Wang Ping'an; but when she saw the ground littered with warriors' corpses, her doubts were about to fade, when Wang Ping'an's mental transmission 'What you see isn't necessarily true' surfaced in her mind again, causing a myriad of thoughts to arise, and she let out a faint sigh:

"What he said is right; seeing isn't necessarily believing, and before I have absolute proof, I shouldn't just label him as an evil cultivator."

"I need to go find evidence; at least they've done me a favor, so if he isn't an evil cultivator I must repay him, but if he is—I'll spare him this once, and if we meet again don't blame me; worst case, I'll burn paper money for him during holidays!"

If she were asked to repay Wang Ping'an's help with her own life, she couldn't do it.

After all, Wang Ping'an's kindness isn't enough to demand her life; even without his help this time, she believes breaking through the bottleneck of 'The World's First Famous Sword Melody' is merely a matter of time.

Of course.

Wang Ping'an's debt to her cannot be changed, and she won't deny it.

She is the type who repays grudges and returns kindness, but she will choose different degrees of repayment depending on the magnitude of the kindness.

In a corner of the Le Family ancestral hall, Wang Ping'an leaned lazily in his chair resting, while controlling the paper persons to return, and couldn't help cursing under his breath:

"Damn it, I'm being such a masochist—others attack me, I not only don't retaliate but actually help them break through their bottlenecks, letting them freeload completely without gaining anything myself; my past life's lust—cough, cough—I mean my past life's fondness for doing good deeds, why can't I change it?"

"Ding! You battled the Musician Path, helping the Musician Path break through the bottleneck of a certain melody; during it your good comprehension gave you some gains, congratulations on obtaining the reward: Talent: Music Theory 【Entry Level】!"

Before Wang Ping'an could finish his cursing, a mechanical, cold voice suddenly sounded in his mind; the curse on the tip of his tongue was swallowed back, his face and eyes filled with undisguisable delight, and he silently rejoiced:

"No way, is my comprehension really that awesome? Just from one fight with someone else I get a talent? Looks like I need to work harder to boost my comprehension!"

That's what he thought, but Wang Ping'an clearly knew that relying solely on effort couldn't increase comprehension; he wanted to increase comprehension—no, actually one could say it requires effort—the only way at present is to raise his own system level, gaining the welfare from level upgrades—all attributes +1; if one were to say effort……

... still have to work hard at sucking milk!
