Chapter 12: Tenfold Hard Cultivation

Inside the training ground, although Gu Shuqi has already left, the impact he caused will likely not disappear for a long time.

Under the shining sunlight on the training ground, the disciples who should have started morning exercises are now conducting their own meditations.

"I am the reincarnation of the Great Expansion Divine Lord, now named Zhao Guicai. The current ruler of the Great Expansion Kingdom is my great-great-great-grandson."

"Although my body has weakened, I still possess peerless talent. As long as I work hard just like before, all my power will return. I will feminize everyone in the world and take them into my harem!"

Under Fang Can's indifferent gaze, a person in front of him imagined himself to be the reincarnation of the Great Expansion Divine Lord, punching the air while muttering to himself.

He slowly turned his head, his gaze looking in another direction.

There, a seventeen-year-old youth also substituted himself as the first ruler of the Great Expansion Kingdom, only the way the other substituted himself was slightly different from the previous one.

One could see that youth doing push-ups with abnormal excitement, muttering while doing them: "Great Chu Overlord! Great Chu Overlord! Great Chu Overlord!"

And in the corner, a youth with a somewhat abstract appearance knelt on one knee, whispering to himself toward an empty direction:

"Xiao Fang, I have become a Hall Master. The Sect Master has already agreed to our marriage. Just accept me... That's great, I knew there was affection between us..."

In the corner, a disciple beaten back by Bai Feisi covered his face and said: "Bai Feisi is the number one strong person slapped in the face by the weak, and I am the number one weak person who slaps strong people in the face. Hehe, I even earned an extra slap?"

At this moment, the entire training ground was in chaos, with over a thousand disciples substituting themselves into all sorts of identities.

Among these identities were reincarnated strong ones, reborn great powers, peerless geniuses, emperors of a kingdom, young men accepting marriage proposals, slaves whipped by a queen... It could be called a grand award ceremony for performance art.

Of course, not everyone at the scene was practicing the method of role-playing.

Besides Fang Can, there was a group of people silently practicing martial arts.

Because compared to other disciples, they had started trying this several years ago, long ago integrating spiritual victory into their martial arts path.

After all, the method of spiritual victory is just a methodology; it is very difficult to keep secret.

Not all disciples present came from poor families; if there were martial artists in their families, they had basically heard of similar methods.

For their own children, they naturally would not hide it; from the very beginning, these disciples from wealthy families had been winning spiritually for several years longer than ordinary disciples.

Unaware of this point, Fang Can quietly moved away from the scene of madness, continuing to practice the "Tiger Fiend Eighty-Eight Caves" methodically and strictly.

In the distance, Yang Lie and Gu Shuqi gazed at the situation in the ground and nodded with satisfaction:

"Not bad, the quality of this batch of disciples is very good; perhaps within twenty years, one peer among them might emerge."

"Steward Gu, although the method of spiritual victory has very good effects in the early stage, is it not too radical?" Yang Lie said nearby with a humble tone.

He naturally knew this method, but not teaching it to the disciples naturally had his own considerations.

Because according to his observations as an instructor over these years, the role-playing method indeed provides tremendous help for martial arts practice in the early stage, but almost the vast majority of people get stuck on the final ultimate leap of the Mortal Shedding Stage.

In recent years, the Tiger Fiend Sect has wanted to align with the Righteous Path and undergo industrial transformation.

So he had stopped teaching this method to disciples several years ago, and other evil path methods were no longer used either; he never expected that this time Gu Shuqi would propose it.

"Let's cross the early stage first before thinking about later matters."

Gu Shuqi's smile turned cold as he said: "Recently, the neighboring Huaxing Sect has had many frictions with us; it might not be long before this batch of people is all sent out to guard posts. Isn't it good to improve a little more now?"

"Steward Gu speaks the truth." Yang Jiaotou Yang clasped his hands and made an affirmation.

'And... I have been rained on, so how can I let these guys hold umbrellas?' Gu Shuqi held a grudge in his heart.

When he was young and ignorant, he was also tricked by some senior within the sect into practicing the role-playing method, resulting in his mind never achieving completeness, stuck at this current stage for several years; this time counts as a cycle of reincarnation.

'Oh, right.' Gu Shuqi turned his head to look at Yang Lie, his eyes narrowing slightly: 'I remember that guy was also invited back by this old thing to give a lecture; now he is pretending to be a good person in front of me.'

Thinking of this, the corner of his mouth curled slightly as he said: "Yang Jiaotou Yang."

Yang Lie only felt a chill down his back and respectfully said: "Steward Gu, please give orders."

"Now the Tiger Fiend Sect is in need of talent. The Sect Master has already spoken: extraordinary times require extraordinary measures. Since that is the case, let the side dishes in the cafeteria follow the old recipes."

Speaking of this, Gu Shuqi looked dazed as he said: "I haven't tasted the flavor of the Divine Revelation Soup for several years; that feeling is truly a bit nostalgic."

After Gu Shuqi finished speaking, Yang Lie's back was already covered in cold sweat, but he finally gritted his teeth and said: "I strictly obey the Steward's orders."

'Hungry again.'

At noon, Fang Can covered his stomach and spat out the arsenic in his mouth.

As the genius state faded, he could feel the hunger in his body crazily gnawing at him.

The higher the cultivation efficiency, the more energy is consumed, and the faster one gets hungry.

And on the panel, everything inside proved his efforts during this period.

Name: Fang Can

Body: 1.3

Spirit: 1.3

Qi: 1.2

Description Column:

You have completely circulated the "Tiger Fiend Eighty-Eight Caves" technique for one cycle. Experience +78. Technique raised to Level 2. Mutation speed increased by 10%.

Tiger Fiend Eighty-Eight Caves Level 2: 64/2000

Flesh and Blood Mutation: 0.0953%

'Having a cheat state is great; comprehension defies heaven, and the speed of technique improvement is sixty or seventy times that of ordinary people.' Fang Can covered his dizzying head from hunger and laughed.

In just one hour, his Body and Spirit both increased by an average of 0.1, and Qi even increased by 0.2.

The only bad thing is that the mutation state is a bit lacking, being only ten-plus times faster than ordinary people.

After all, according to information obtained from other fellow disciples, this mutation state requires sublimating the original mortal body and incorporating the will into the body; it is the most painstaking work.

Moreover, for most people, the mutation speed is far faster than the technique improvement speed, so they never have this worry.

'According to this mutation efficiency, it will take me ten years to fill the mutation state to 100%.'

At the thought of this, on the road leading to the cafeteria, a wave of sorrow surged from Fang Can's heart:

'Even if I practice hard in the Genius Realm for one hour every day, can I only widen the gap with those ordinary mortals by ten times? There must be another way to accelerate!'

With this thought, Fang Can arrived at the cafeteria.

Just as he wanted to order a portion of pork stir-fried with flat beans with rice, as he had done yesterday, the auntie serving the food, wearing a simple smile, spoke up:

"Handsome boy, would you like a serving of Divine Revelation Soup?"
