Chapter 415: There Are No Shortcuts for Geniuses, Xu Hu’s Persistence
“Sir, how do you plan to survive the Thunder Tribulation?”
“Work hard on cultivation and lay a solid foundation.”
Facing Chen Changsheng’s answer, Sui Feng’s eyes flickered with doubt.
Since returning from Zhenyu, Chen Changsheng had been planning for the Thunder Tribulation.
However, after such a long time, Chen Changsheng had never mentioned any tips for surviving the Thunder Tribulation.
Now, with such a response, naturally, Sui Feng didn’t believe it.
Noticing this, Chen Changsheng glanced at Sui Feng and said, “I know you don’t believe me, but that’s just how it is.”
“To survive the Thunder Tribulation, one can only work hard on cultivation and lay a solid foundation.”
“The true purpose of the Thunder Tribulation is not to obstruct all living beings, but to help them break through and rebuild.”
“The Thunder Tribulation strikes not only the physical body but also targets the internal world, which is your foundation.”
“If your physical body is not strong enough, you will be reduced to ashes under the Thunder Tribulation.”
“If your cultivation is not pure enough and your foundation is not solid enough, your cultivation will dissipate.”
Hearing this, Sui Feng said, “Sir, if the Thunder Tribulation is truly this simple, then what about those geniuses who fell under it before?”
“Their foundations and cultivation aren’t weak!”
“That’s the difference between serious cultivation and dedicated cultivation.”
“The Sea of Suffering System aims to develop the potential of living beings, while the Thunder Tribulation helps them advance further on that basis.”
“But breaking and rebuilding requires both ‘breaking’ and ‘rebuilding.'”
“Those who faced the Thunder Tribulation before weren’t bad, but they weren’t outstanding either; their understanding of cultivation wasn’t deep enough, and they lacked the courage to face d*ath.”
“When their lives could be guaranteed, their performance was indeed not bad.”
“But when faced with near-d*ath situations, they shrank back, resulting in their failure to survive the Thunder Tribulation.”
“The correct approach should be to accept the Thunder Tribulation naturally, to comprehend the spark of life amidst the life-threatening storm.”
“And to find ways to advance your cultivation and physical body.”
After hearing this, Sui Feng gulped and said, “Sir, this method is too dangerous.”
“Walking the path of d*ath to life, if one cannot find a way out within the acceptable time limit, the outcome is only d*ath.”
“Exactly, and that’s why the Thunder Tribulation is a chasm between ordinary cultivators and geniuses.”
“With the Thunder Tribulation, the gap between genius cultivators and excellent cultivators can widen.”
“Take you all as examples: Qian Ya, Xu Hu, Hu Yan, Su Wan’er, and that little fatty from the Heavenly Silkworm Clan.”
“Your talents are clearly different, but the strength you exhibit now does not show much disparity.”
“But after the Thunder Tribulation, your situations will quickly diverge.”
“Only with effort will there be gains; if you want to widen the gap, you must pay the price.”
“A strong physical body and solid foundation will allow you to endure the Thunder Tribulation longer.”
“This is currently the only way for you to survive the Thunder Tribulation.”
As he spoke, Chen Changsheng patted Sui Feng’s shoulder and smiled.
“Little Peacock, let me tell you a little secret: true geniuses never expect shortcuts.”
“On the surface, it seems they are singing high praises all the way, as if they are lucky to have taken shortcuts.”
“But in reality, they walk slower and steadier than anyone else.”
“The reason they seem fast is due to their innate advantages.”
“It’s like some people are born with long legs, while others have short legs.”
“Those with long legs will naturally walk faster than those with short legs.”
After saying this, Chen Changsheng turned and walked toward Mountain River Academy.
Looking at Chen Changsheng’s back, Huafeng momentarily felt dazed.
Since her birth, everyone around her had told her how to cultivate.
Only by cultivating this way could she become a true genius.
But during her time with Chen Changsheng, she discovered that some truths were not as she thought.
For instance, there is no shortcut to climbing to the peak.
Moreover, the path wasn’t as grand and magnificent as she imagined; instead, it felt somewhat dull and tedious.
Thinking of this, Huafeng’s thoughts drifted back to her childhood.
At that time, her brother was widely recognized as a genius, but he often said one thing to her.
“Huafeng, remember this: there are no geniuses in this world.”
“There are only those who can endure solitude and crazily torture themselves.”
……
Mountain River Academy.
“Boom!”
Xu Hu was sent flying, while Ye Yongxian remained seated under the tree.
Seeing such a pitiful state, the surrounding spectators couldn’t bear to look.
For an entire month, Xu Hu had been challenging Ye Yongxian, but every time he ended up heavily injured and spitting bl**d.
If there was any change at all, it was that Xu Hu’s ability to take hits had improved significantly.
At least today, after being knocked down, he didn’t immediately lose consciousness.
“Spit!”
Spitting out the bl**d from his mouth, Xu Hu laughed, “Is this the glory you all see?”
“No wonder you’re always so indifferent; in your eyes, the world’s geniuses are really only worthy of being a joke.”
Looking at the bl**d streaming from Xu Hu’s seven orifices, Ye Yongxian frowned slightly.
Currently trapped in the Lamp of Life Realm, the power she could wield was quite limited.
It wasn’t a problem to incapacitate these young ones with one move, but to take their lives, she would need at least two strikes.
But needing two strikes to deal with these ants would likely become a laughingstock.
“Tsk tsk!”
“It hasn’t been long since I last saw you, and the ruckus has become this big?”
A teasing voice echoed as Chen Changsheng walked out of the crowd, accompanied by Huafeng.
Scanning the gathered crowd, Chen Changsheng chastised, “What are you looking at? Have you finished your assignments?”
“Get lost!”
Faced with such arrogance, some students immediately wanted to retort.
But before they could speak, Huafeng’s icy gaze swept over them.
“Three breaths from now, I don’t want to see any idlers; otherwise, you will bear the consequences.”
Under Huafeng’s threat, the crowd, though unwilling, eventually dispersed.
Once everyone had left, Chen Changsheng stuffed a Dan Pill into Xu Hu’s mouth and then found a clean place to sit down.
“What’s wrong? You’ve been fighting for so long and still haven’t killed him. You’re not getting worse, are you?”
Hearing Chen Changsheng’s teasing, Ye Yongxian shot him a glance and replied flatly, “He is, after all, the heir of the World’s No. 1 Spring. Using the power of the Lamp of Life Realm to take his life is still somewhat challenging.”
“If I used a second attack, I could definitely end his life, but that would just give you something to laugh about.”
“I don’t want to be laughed at for killing an ant.”
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng nodded.
“That’s true; you’re being so perceptive this time, so I won’t laugh at you.”
As he said this, Chen Changsheng waved at Xu Hu.
