#447 - Chapter 446: Insolent Question
After getting Qi Mingyue's phone number from Xiang Nanzhi, Li Chenqiu returned to his villa.
"Linglong Stele record broken?"
Sitting at his desk, Li Chenqiu browsed the academy's forum on his phone.
[Linglong Stele record broken seven times in one night! Is it a distortion of human nature or a decline in morality? Stay tuned for the Star-Picking News!]
[Linglong Tower's first seven floors cleared in less than five minutes, the strongest Realm Breaker in the Spirit Illusion Realm's history!]
[Who exactly is the record breaker 'Qiu'?]
Seeing this post, Li Chenqiu curiously clicked on it.
AAA Renovation Master Wang: "Breaking seven records in one go, such outrageous strength! Does anyone know who this guy is?"
Loves to Party at Night: "Is there even a need to think? This 'Qiu' is practically shoving his name in your face, and you still don't know who he is?"
I am a Great Hero: "I don't think it's likely to be Li Chenqiu. Although his Realm Breaking ability is very strong, it shouldn't be this outrageous."
Marksman Mike: "I also agree with the above. Although there are rumors among the new students that Li Chenqiu defeated three six-Realm experts with four-Realm strength without using his superpower and with one hand, there is no video to prove the authenticity of this news."
Loves to Party at Night: "I'm really speechless. Then tell me, besides Li Chenqiu, who else in the younger generation could possibly pass the seventh floor of the Linglong Tower in half a minute?"
Marksman Mike: "Are you Li Chenqiu's simp?"
Li Chenqiu's mouth twitched when he saw this, and he muttered to himself, "I didn't expect breaking into the Linglong Tower to cause such a big commotion."
The matter concerning the Linglong Stele did exceed his expectations, but it was harmless. If there's a big commotion, so be it, it won't affect his harvesting of leeks and earning Star Points.
Li Chenqiu put down his phone, took out the Finishing Touch Brush and the Winter Night Painting from his Void Ring, and without any hesitation, jumped directly into the Winter Night Painting, disappearing from the room.
...
Heavy snow continued to fall, and the cold wind was biting. Everything was the same as before.
Standing on the vast snowy ground, Li Chenqiu subconsciously tightened his clothes, quickly walked to the wooden house and stopped, politely shouting, "Are you there?"
"If there are no accidents, I should be."
Creak—
The wooden door of the cabin was pulled open from the inside, and Fu Yuesheng's weak face appeared in front of Li Chenqiu.
"You're really a frequent visitor!" Fu Yuesheng pulled a chair over with one hand and sat down, lightly asking, "Tell me, what's the matter this time?"
Li Chenqiu showed a friendly smile on his face: "I want to ask you a rather presumptuous question, is that okay?"
Fu Yuesheng brushed aside the red hair in front of his forehead with his finger: "A presumptuous question... Since you know this question is presumptuous, then don't ask it. I don't like answering presumptuous questions."
Li Chenqiu's expression stiffened: "Actually... it's not that presumptuous."
Fu Yuesheng crossed his legs and gestured: "Tell me about it."
"It's like this, I want to ask, do you have any weaknesses that are relatively easy to target?"
One second... three seconds... six seconds... The air fell into a long silence, with only the sound of wind and snow whistling.
Fu Yuesheng frowned slightly, a hint of icy coldness flashing in his eyes.
Seeing this, Li Chenqiu hurriedly raised his hand to explain: "You misunderstood my meaning. I just want to ask, if you and I are at the same Realm now, how should I defeat you?"
Fu Yuesheng replied in an unfriendly tone: "Your words seem to deepen the misunderstanding between us. Boy, I treat you sincerely, is this how you repay me?"
"I... Listen to my explanation, have you heard of the Spirit Illusion Realm?" Li Chenqiu tentatively asked.
Fu Yuesheng shook his head.
"I only found out recently. Listen to me finish explaining the ins and outs, and you'll know I have no ill intentions."
In the following time, Li Chenqiu told everything about the Spirit Illusion Realm, including what happened tonight, and Fu Yuesheng's expression gradually softened as a result.
"That's the whole story. The reason I'm asking about your weaknesses is actually to get the reward for clearing the Linglong Tower, there's no other meaning." Li Chenqiu said honestly.
Fu Yuesheng nodded thoughtfully: "No wonder those guys wanted to extract a wisp of my soul. They actually wanted to use me as a whetstone!"
"A wisp of soul?" Li Chenqiu looked puzzled.
"Yes, because it's only a wisp of soul, the guy you encountered doesn't have my memories, he only inherited my most primitive fighting instincts and aloof personality."
"Then how should I defeat him?" Li Chenqiu looked expectant.
Fu Yuesheng crossed his arms over his chest, squinted his eyes, and sized Li Chenqiu up from head to toe, asking, "What Realm are you in now?"
"Just entered the seventh Realm."
Fu Yuesheng raised his hand to his lips, a look of contemplation in his eyes: "Seventh Realm... Pfft, hehehe..."
Before he could say anything, he couldn't help but laugh.
"What are you laughing at?" Li Chenqiu looked bewildered.
Fu Yuesheng, who was bent over with laughter, raised his head: "Sorry, I suddenly realized I was seriously thinking about a very absurd thing, I couldn't help it for a moment."
Li Chenqiu's face darkened.
Seeing this, Fu Yuesheng coughed awkwardly, sat up straight, and said seriously: "Actually, I really want to help you, but I really can't help you, I..."
He paused, spread his hands helplessly, and continued:
"I really can't think of any weaknesses of mine that you can exploit. Physical body, superpower, soul, fighting consciousness, etc. To put it bluntly, there's nothing you can surpass me in.
Perhaps in many years, you can defeat that remnant soul under the same Realm, but if you want to defeat that remnant soul now, it's basically impossible."
Li Chenqiu frowned slightly.
Although Fu Yuesheng's words were harsh, Li Chenqiu knew that he was telling the truth. He deeply understood how powerful that remnant soul was.
Unpredictable superpower, a body like steel, reaction ability far beyond ordinary people, absolutely suppressed fighting consciousness, it can be said that there are almost no shortcomings.
Li Chenqiu asked unwillingly: "If I... if I explode with all my strength, no one in the ninth Realm would be my opponent. If I use tricks in the tenth Realm, I also have a chance to win. Is there still no hope of winning like this?"
"Hard strength hasn't reached the tenth Realm... Wait, what did you just say?" Fu Yuesheng's expression suddenly changed.
Li Chenqiu repeated what he had just said with a puzzled expression.
This time it was Fu Yuesheng's turn to be shocked. He widened his eyes and asked in disbelief: "You can cleverly win against the tenth Realm with the seventh Realm?"
"What's so strange about that? You can fight the tenth Realm head-on with the seventh Realm, what's wrong with me winning against the tenth Realm by relying on luck?" Li Chenqiu looked calm, without a trace of ripple on his face.
