Old Man Ming said this, hoping this guy wouldn't be affected by his low spirits.
At the same time, he knew Xiao Yunting was a self-important person.
Even if he wasn't outstanding in many aspects, this guy was still the key to his future body reconstruction.
Old Man Ming had to comfort Xiao Yunting, encouraging him to strive for progress.
"Master, I understand."
Xiao Yunting took a deep breath, his gaze becoming firm.
However, Old Man Ming's words were very effective for Xiao Yunting.
They quickly revived the despondent Xiao Yunting.
He had a goal: to surpass Fang Chen and trample him underfoot.
He wanted the Holy Son of Cloud Heaven Holy Land to know that an ant could shake a tree.
Old Man Ming took a deep breath, finally calming the young man.
This guy was really troublesome. As if being conceited wasn't enough, his will wasn't that firm either.
"Good, you understand!"
"I've seen many geniuses. It's not so important to be the first to improve. What matters is whether you can reach the end and step into the Emperor Realm."
"I believe you can enter the Emperor Realm faster than that Fang Chen. Even if you can't, you will definitely surpass him in the future."
Old Man Ming said with a smile.
"Master, if you had another chance, would you choose Fang Chen, or would you choose me?"
Xiao Yunting, for some reason, seemed to be at odds with Fang Chen.
Now, he wanted to compare himself to Fang Chen at every moment.
Old Man Ming was stunned upon hearing this, and then a wave of anger surged in his heart.
They're even comparing now? You don't even look at yourself, what can you compare with Fang Chen? If he had another chance, as long as his brain wasn't short-circuited, he would choose Fang Chen.
If he chose Fang Chen, he could immediately reshape his body, where would he need to follow this guy and suffer?
However, Old Man Ming felt helpless, this guy really had no self-awareness.
You can't say what will happen in the future, but right now, how do you have the qualifications to compare with Fang Chen? Old Man Ming had just said that the process was not important, what mattered was reaching the endpoint of martial dao.
But there was another thing he hadn't said to Xiao Yunting. Perhaps other people's starting points were your ending point; that was the difference.
"I will naturally choose you!"
"This point will never change. Even though your cultivation and talent are not as good as Fang Chen's, Master believes in you. You can surpass that Fang Chen through your own efforts and Master's cultivation in the future."
Old Man Ming thought this in his heart, but on the surface, he still had to comfort Xiao Yunting and give him confidence.
Who told him he had already made a choice?
"Master, rest assured. I can definitely surpass Fang Chen and trample him under my feet."
Having received Old Man Ming's affirmation, Xiao Yunting also became confident. Power seemed to be injected into his body, and his fighting spirit soared.
On the other side.
Lin Luowei was always watching Fang Chen's movements, especially after Xiao Yunting entered the Cloud Heaven Holy Land. She wanted to know what Fang Chen would do.
But to her surprise, Fang Chen completely ignored this Xiao Yunting, as if he didn't even know Xiao Yunting had joined the Cloud Heaven Holy Land.
In the past half month, Fang Chen hadn't come to see Lin Luowei once, as if he'd forgotten all about her, which made Lin Luowei feel quite uneasy.
Before, Fang Chen would appear in front of her every day, which annoyed her greatly.
Now, Fang Chen wasn't showing up, and instead, it made Lin Luowei feel very unaccustomed.
Could it be that this Fang Chen has really given up on pursuing me?
Or is he playing hard to get?
Lin Luowei's heart was in turmoil.
If it were before, she would have been absolutely delighted.
But now that Fang Chen, the person she used to hate seeing the most, wasn't appearing, she felt quite uneasy. Added to that, she had inexplicably heard Fang Chen's inner thoughts, which stirred a strange emotion within Lin Luowei.
"No, I absolutely can't sit around and wait to die. I need to find out who exactly destroyed my entire family back then."
"Was it Fang Chen, or was it Xiao Yunting's father, as mentioned in Fang Chen's inner thoughts?"
Lin Luowei took a deep breath.
Back then, her Lin family was annihilated, leaving her as the only survivor.
All these years, she had been cultivating desperately, just to avenge her family as soon as possible.
She used to think Fang Chen was the murderer, which was why she hated him so much.
But now, having heard Fang Chen's inner thoughts, it seemed the murderer wasn't him, but rather Xiao Yunting's father, which threw her into turmoil.
If the murderer wasn't Fang Chen, then what was the difference between his past behavior and that of a wolf in sheep's clothing?
Thinking of this, Lin Luowei felt even heavier.
Holy Spirit Peak.
Fang Chen was lying comfortably in a chair, enjoying the scenery of the mountains and rivers, feeling incredibly relaxed.
"It's so comfortable just slacking off. Without realizing it, I've already reached the second level of the Enlightenment Realm. This kind of cultivation speed is truly unimaginable."
"I was only at the sixth level of the Emperor Realm not long ago. How long has it been, and I've already broken through a major realm."
Fang Chen chuckled to himself, feeling pleased.
After another half month of slacking off, his cultivation hadn't decreased. Instead, it had advanced by leaps and bounds.
He had already broken through from the sixth level of the Emperor Realm to the second level of the Enlightenment Realm.
Such speed, even for him, who was once the Holy Son of the Cloud Heaven Holy Land, a prodigy of the Eastern God Domain, was unimaginable.
If it were before, to reach this level, he would have needed a heaven-defying opportunity.
Otherwise, in half a month, he would have only improved by two or three levels at most.
Now that he was slacking off, spending his days lying flat on Holy Spirit Peak, enjoying the beautiful scenery and the magnificent rivers and mountains of the world, he could still improve rapidly...
Besides this, his cultivation techniques and secret methods had also greatly improved.
This day of slacking off was far more effective than his previous non-stop cultivation.
"So what's the use of being hardworking?"
"Slacking off is the best!"
Fang Chen thought to himself.
In the past, Fang Chen was very driven, otherwise, he wouldn't have reached the sixth level of the Emperor Realm at the age of twenty, becoming the Holy Son of the Cloud Heaven Holy Land.
It's still better to just lie flat and slack off, always like this, always great!
"Calculating the time, the Sky Lance Sect's secret realm should be opening soon!"
"I wonder what opportunities Xiao Yunting will get when the Sky Lance Sect's secret realm appears?"
Fang Chen was very familiar with the plot of the book because the book was truly a melodramatic mess, so he had a deep memory of it.
Especially the early plot, Xiao Yunting's early rise relied on Fang Chen's suppression, allowing this guy to gain opportunities multiple times, and his cultivation also advanced by leaps and bounds, growing rapidly in the Cloud Heaven Holy Land.
According to the original plot of the book, Xiao Yunting has now broken through to the fourth Celestial Origin Realm! But because of Fang Chen's slacking off, naturally, no one specially looked after Xiao Yunting, causing Xiao Yunting to miss several opportunities to hone himself, equivalent to missing several opportunities.
Right now, Xiao Yunting hasn't broken through to the Celestial Origin Realm; he's still at the ninth level of the Sea of Consciousness Realm, the third realm.
He only advanced one level in over half a month.
According to the original storyline, because of my suppression, Xiao Yunting obtained two or three decent secret techniques.
Relying on these secret techniques, he would have wreaked havoc in the Sky Lance Sect, gradually making a name for himself in the Eastern God Domain. He would have even defeated some of the younger prodigies, trampling them underfoot.
Now, without my suppression, Xiao Yunting hasn't gained these opportunities. If he enters the Sky Lance Sect, he might not be a match for those prodigies. He might not be able to show off and slap them in the face, and possibly won't gain anything.
Fang Chen was still very familiar with the plot of the Sky Lance Sect.
