Chapter 185: Tiangang City Frontline AdvancementIn the small courtyard, Master Shangxuan looked at Su Chen, feeling both happy and scared. The good news is that Master Shangxuan feels that Tiangang City is really going to have another genius. The fear came from thinking about sending Su Chen to Yunyang Sect for support. Fortunately, Master Taiwu’s gaze was not vicious enough. He saw some of Su Chen's abilities, but still failed to see Su Chen's genius. If Master Taiwu had seen Su Chen's ability at that time, I wonder what disgusting means he would have used. I'm afraid he will use all means to attract disciples, maybe even the beauty trap. The servants in the courtyard brought some tea. Master Shangxuan took a sip before speaking. "Kid, you kept it a secret from us.
The other people in the sect probably don't know that you have reached the seventh level of perfection, right?" Su Chen felt a little apologetic. “Great Elder, you are the first one to know this. I returned from Yunyang Sect a few days ago and took a walk in the wilderness. With some opportunities and good luck, my strength has improved a little." When Master Shangxuan heard this, he felt very relieved. This actually shows how much Su Chen values him, otherwise, how could he be the first one to know? Master Shangxuan no longer hid anything and told Su Chen the decision of the sect's top leaders. Su Chen was a little surprised when he heard Master Shangxuan say that he wanted to train himself in the same way he trained a genius. Although he defeated Ming Sijiu, Su Chen knew in his heart that he still had a gap to reach those talented disciples. "Great Elder, I am only at the seventh level of perfection now, compared to the genius..." Seeing that Su Chen had some concerns, Master Shangxuan quickly waved his hand. "Compared to the most outstanding geniuses in the Great Zhou, you are still a little behind. But the Great Zhou Dynasty also had more than just these four geniuses: Fu Jianyun, Liu Xingwan, Shang Jiayao, and Gu Feng. There are more than ten disciples who are known as geniuses in the entire dynasty. It’s just that he’s not as dazzling as the other four. Besides, you are still young after all. Su Chen, I have discussed this in detail with the three elders. Your current potential gives us hope. Even if he can't reach the level of Gu Feng, he is still far beyond other ordinary disciples." If we only talk about potential, Su Chen has enough confidence in his heart.
Even if it was Fu Jianyun, Liu Xingwan and others, Su Chen still believed that he would surpass them one day. Su Chen's concerns are more about his own strength. Many disciples of the sect worry that their strength level is not enough, and that it is unfair for them to receive the resources and treatment of the top disciples. But if we just talk about potential, Su Chen has confidence in himself. There is nothing I cannot get from this talented disciple. The two were communicating in the courtyard, and Master Shangxuan also told Su Chen about the sect's arrangements for him. The training method for genius disciples is completely different from that for other disciples. The future path of cultivation will require Su Chen to make more judgments and considerations on his own. How you go along this journey is up to you. If you have any insights in your mind and they are different from the guidance of other seniors, you don't have to deny yourself. The chosen ones of heaven are always different. After listening to this, Su Chen had a better understanding of what a genius disciple is. The disciples who have earned the title of genius no longer have to follow in the footsteps of others and move forward step by step. But Su Chen understood. Not following others does not mean being stubborn and relying on yourself for everything. The path of spiritual practice always relies on standing on the shoulders of our predecessors. "If you need anything regarding cultivation resources, just tell me directly. As long as Tiangang City can afford it, we will try our best to meet your needs. But for some things on the front line, if you have time, I still hope you can help. Of course, I know that too. As a genius disciple, he naturally has to devote as much energy and time as possible to his own cultivation. It’s just that there are some problems on the front line, and maybe only you can come and give some help.” Su Chen has enough talent and potential in martial arts, so naturally he should focus on practicing as much as possible. But the current peace and tranquility in Tiangang City was hard-won. Master Shangxuan also knew how much of it was Su Chen's contribution. This time, Su Chen went to support Yunyang Sect, and the predicament of Yunyang Sect was directly solved. The Yunyang Sect might not know where the crux of its problem lies, but Master Shangxuan knows. When it comes to dealing with monsters, Su Chen is far stronger than others. There is no dispute about this now. “We practice martial arts to slay demons and protect the people.
If the sect needs disciples, it is my duty to serve them." What Su Chen said was not empty talk. Perhaps in the eyes of some people, the path of spiritual practice is just for fame and fortune, to dominate others. Su Chen didn't dare to say that he didn't seek fame or fortune at all, but he was definitely not just selfish. Su Chen still remembers how he was protected by the people of Jiang'an City. Now that I have some strength and ability, I will stick to my original intention. Hearing this answer, Master Shangxuan felt somewhat relieved. Regardless of whether Su Chen was sincere in saying these words, at least Su Chen dared to respond in this way, which also gave the elders a reason to seek Su Chen's help. Top disciples spend most of their time on themselves. I'm afraid I can't say words like "it's my duty". They were worried that after saying this, the sect would really want them to go to the front line to help. After this answer, Su Chen continued to talk with Master Shangxuan about the situation on the front line of defense. Su Chen really didn't mind letting himself help out on the front line of defense. The situation in the Yunyang Sect gradually stabilized, and the problem of the beast tide in the wilderness also gradually began to subside. When Su Chen talked with Master Shangxuan before, he did not support advancing the front line. But now that conditions in all aspects are gradually maturing, Su Chen also feels that he can try to push the defense line forward. The method Su Chen conceived of to advance the front line was definitely not the same method used by the Yunyang Sect. The Yunyang Sect at that time basically relied on Su Chen's detection ability. The progress is very fast, but when problems arise, there is a feeling of complete defeat. The front-line advancement that Su Chen prepared was a step-by-step advancement. Use fortifications as a foundation and move forward step by step. Only after gaining a firm foothold will we go deeper into the wilderness. After each advance, the fortifications were gradually strengthened. Unlike the Yunyang Sect, they did not directly move the defense line forward. Just advance about ten miles each time and don't aim too high. Take steady steps and move forward cautiously. Su Chen and Master Shang Xuan talked until it got dark. The two discussed what was happening on the front line, from the framework to the details.
It was already the You hour when Shang Xuan Zhenren remembered that he still had some important matters to discuss. “After winter begins this year, a banquet will be held in the Great Zhou Imperial City. Since the sect has already trained you as a top disciple, you have to go and take a look at these banquets and parties. When the time comes, you will go there with Gu Feng. I have already reported your name to the Great Zhou royal family. I'll tell you this first so you won't be delayed by other things." (End of this chapter)
