Chapter 69: Shuttling Between Two Worlds

Inside the villa, the lights were bright; Fang Can, bare-chested, surveyed the interior decor.

The furnishings inside matched those before he left, yet to Fang Can, who had grown accustomed to the ancient style, it felt as though a lifetime had passed.

'Finally back. Tonight, I must first take a hot shower, then turn the air conditioning to maximum, grab some potato chips and drinks, wrap myself in a blanket, and beautifully watch a classic movie from before the Great Cataclysm, before finally sleeping soundly.'

Suddenly returned to a familiar environment, Fang Can's tense heartstrings, strained for a month, softened, and he couldn't help but think in his heart.

But before him, Jiang Ningan's state of mind was not as stable as Fang Can's; she looked at the muscular figure before her with disbelief.

"Snap!"

With a clattering sound, Fang Can was stunned to find his arm gripped by Jiang Ningan.

Jiang Ningan gazed at the perfect body before her, her eyes going blank in waves, her breath unconsciously growing deeper.

'Entrance Gate Sixth Level... How is it possible to reach Entrance Gate Sixth Level so quickly? It makes no sense! It's only been half a month; I took more than half a year back then.'

'Uh... Senior Jiang, is there something you need?' Being stared at so intently by the female gaze, Fang Can felt a tingle on his skin and hesitantly asked.

His mind even began to ponder: if a female ruffian from the Heavenly Path Third Level had improper intentions, what methods did a mere Entrance Gate Sixth Level boy have to protect his chastity?

Only then did the young lady come to her senses; her pretty face flushed with red, she stepped back two paces to create distance from the male-hormone-filled body, saying:

"I remember you hadn't even reached the first level before we parted... How did you train to this in fifteen days?"

"I said I'm a peerless genius; Senior should have had a psychological expectation after living with me for so long," Fang Can said with a smile.

"I thought you could reach at most Entrance Gate Second Level," the young lady pouted slightly, saying with disappointment; the feeling of being crushed by such talent was too unbearable.

Fang Can smiled and stopped answering; currently, his realm was still in a suppressed state, appearing as if it were completely allowed to grow wildly.

Most of his energy was still focused on killing and other matters.

Realizing she lacked the demeanor of a senior, the young lady coughed lightly and said:

"At this speed, if you are willing to breakthrough, you might reach Entrance Gate Ninth Level within a month, then prepare yourself to ascend the Heavenly Path."

"However... I still do not recommend you enter the Heavenly Path immediately; at least settle down for another year," the young lady explained proactively.

After all, if she didn't explain now, perhaps the next time she met the youth, he would have completely shed his mortal body.

"Why? Is there a reason?" Fang Can asked.

"Because when you step onto the Heavenly Path, a corresponding inheritance will be born according to the choice in your heart."

"And that inheritance is the materialized ability of the heart; a glutton might gain the ability to grow stronger by eating meat, while one who fears death will obtain the superpower of longevity."

"The more unyielding the spirit, the richer the body, and the richer the past of a martial artist, the greater the difference in the manifested inheritance ability."

"Understood. Need to start suppressing the level, then focus on the foundation," Fang Can said, understanding simply.

Jiang Ningan nodded lightly, agreeing with Fang Can's statement: "So I hope you can solidify your foundation for a while, at least participate in the Great Competition of Nations a month from now."

"So this Great Competition of Nations... what exactly is it?" Fang Can asked; he had heard this term many times already.

"It is gathering the elites from all nations to engage in a chaotic battle, held once every ten years."

"The winner will gain one opportunity to double their Light of the Heart, giving the inheritance they manifest a terrifying enhancement."

As Jiang Ningan spoke, she glanced at Fang Can and said: "According to your current promotion speed, you will also have the opportunity to enter Fang Cun Mountain next; it would be good for you to see it, but do not think about obtaining too high a ranking."

Fang Can nodded lightly to indicate understanding, though in his heart he paid it no mind.

Since he decided to participate, not taking first place would be too shameful; if he couldn't be the strongest of his generation, what was the point?

Jiang Ningan, who roughly understood Fang Can's thoughts, smiled lightly on her face and offered no explanation.

Anyway, when the Great Competition of Nations officially began, the other party would naturally understand that he absolutely could not win the championship, because this was not a fair contest to begin with.

After all, what Fang Can would face then would not merely be martial artists of the same realm, but countless geniuses who had stepped into the Heavenly Path realm.

And between shedding the mortal body and ascending the Heavenly Path lay an insurmountable, vast chasm.

Just as Fang Can and Jiang Ningan were chatting, the lights in the room began to flicker; immediately, a humanoid figure composed purely of electric current began to appear.

Almost instantly, Fang Can's body retreated several steps, his expression filled with confusion as he gazed at the electric-current-formed creature before him.

Within his 'Misfortune Turns to Fortune,' he could sense that the person before him posed no danger.

But appearing suddenly at this moment, and in this manner, was this a superpowered being curious about him?

"Fang Can, no need to worry; this is my master," Jiang Ningan said with a smile from the side.

"Your master? Isn't that..." A beautiful figure immediately floated into Fang Can's mind.

Sure enough, the next moment, the electric-current-formed figure before him, with a slightly electric tone, said: "Correct; reaching Entrance Gate Sixth Level in merely ten days is beyond my expectations."

As the words were spoken, the electric-current body before him gradually solidified, finally transforming into a stunning woman with blue hair reaching her knees, a face that could topple cities, and dressed in snow-white silk.

'Hearing Liu Qingmeng...' Fang Can recalled their recent meeting, shocked in his heart that the other party could even track him to this world.

"No need to be shocked; this is merely an external avatar composed of spiritual energy; separated by a world, I cannot connect with my true body."

"If not for taking a shortcut by possessing Ningan to come over, even reaching the Sixth Turn would not allow one to forcibly break in."

Hearing Liu Qingmeng, with an impassive expression on her stern face, said: "Currently, it is less than one percent of my full strength; I can only use it temporarily to probe the information of this world."

Even with such an explanation from the other party, Fang Can still found it absurd.

After all, he had previously pondered whether one could traverse both worlds upon achieving mastery in martial arts, yet seeing this scene accomplished by the person before him still left him surprised.

Ye Yonglie's introduction came back to his mind: Hearing Liu Qingmeng, a top expert of the Heavenly Path Fourth Turn; only now did he realize the weight of that title.

Glancing slightly at Jiang Ningan beside him, the other party seemed to be Heavenly Path Third Level; was a difference of just one level really this significant?

"However, you've been without your clothes long enough."

Hearing Liu Qingmeng frowned at Fang Can, as if looking at someone who did not uphold male virtue, then said in a commanding tone: "Put your clothes on first before we talk."

Offering no rebuttal, Fang Can nodded, picked up his change of clothes, walked into the nearby bathroom, and prepared to take a good shower.
