In fact, Guan Yue was using these verses from his past life that he chanted to cultivate his Willpower, which also reflected his feelings about his own background. He had no intention of enticing Rou'er. He was secretly immersed in the entangled emotions of the Ancients and also missed Ouyang Shaohua.
He often wondered if he would change his original intention of learning martial arts because he liked a girl. For example, Ouyang Shaohua. After countless soul-searching moments, Guan Yue knew the answer was no.
Guan Yue was clear that dedicating his life to martial arts was his destiny!
As Guan Yue continued his training, he became increasingly close to Sen Yirou in terms of climbing and the duration spent at Ice Lake. However, Rou'er felt little anger; instead, she was vaguely pleased. This little boy had not disappointed her or her grandfather.
Two months passed in the blink of an eye, and Rou'er found her grandfather with a gloomy expression, hesitantly saying, "Grandpa, maybe you should teach that little monster instead."
Her grandfather asked curiously, "What’s wrong? Did you two have a fight?"
"He dares!" Rou'er exclaimed in anger but then cooled down and softly said, "I can do it, and he can do it all too. How can I teach him?"
The old man was surprised: "What? That ten-year-old boy learned everything you know?"
"Pretty much." Rou'er’s big eyes were filled with frustration; she felt almost embarrassed. She had been training for three years, yet this little brat caught up in just two months, making her feel a bit ashamed.
Hearing this from Rou'er, the old man realized that the boy was indeed unusual. Could it be that he had encountered a cultivation prodigy? He took Rou'er to the edge of Ice Lake and saw Guan Yue swimming while practicing breathing techniques. The old man immediately recognized that this child was extraordinary; he had applied meditation skills to physical training in Ice Lake.
The old man reached out to touch the water of Ice Lake, which remained chillingly cold.
For the first time, he looked closely at Guan Yue and called him over. He noticed something different about Guan Yue's bloodline!
Then he had Guan Yue and Rou'er compete in a climbing race.
Both started climbing from the bottom of the mountain at nearly the same speed. However, the old man observed that his granddaughter followed the path he had laid out for her while Guan Yue climbed like a monkey, scaling the rocks without any fixed route. Each time he looked up, he could climb more than thirty steps before glancing up again. Of course, there was no straight path ahead; he climbed in curves. It was already quite impressive that he could keep pace with Rou'er.
The old man felt that this child must possess special talents and could be well-trained. In the future, he could also help Rou'er.
So the old man called Guan Yue over to him and casually handed him a book, saying, "Child, you have already laid a good foundation during this time. Today, I will officially take you as my disciple. From now on, Rou'er will call you Master Uncle. Starting today, you will practice the world's number one divine skill: Dragon Python Divine Realm Technique. If there is anything you do not understand, come and ask me. For simpler questions, you can also ask Rou'er. Now, begin your training."
What? Calling him Master Uncle? Was the old man mistaken? Sen Yirou turned away angrily, her face turning green with rage. From now on, she would not concern herself with Guan Yue's affairs. Asking her to call him Master Uncle? No way!
Sen Yirou had never been a gentle person!
Guan Yue smiled bitterly and declined, "Old man, I already have a master. I am currently practicing the Dragon Python Divine Realm Technique. It has been six months; please forgive me."
Gesen Mountain chuckled; this child had actually been practicing the Dragon Python Divine Realm Technique for six months already. He couldn't help but praise, "Your master must be very impressive to have taught you such a disciple."
Guan Yue replied honestly, "During this time, I have been utilizing the conditions here to specifically train my physique. I am very grateful to you all; I have made significant progress."
Gesen Mountain said happily, "Very good, Guan Yue. You did not deceive the Old Man. I recently went out once and just returned. I will soon be heading to the Afu Mi Forbidden Zone. Now that you are at the Attainment Realm and Rou'er is also at the Achieving Realm, both of you have some self-defense capabilities; I feel much more at ease."
Guan Yue was surprised to hear that Sen Yirou was also an Achieving Realm disciple; her progress was indeed rapid.
Gesen Mountain did not notice Guan Yue's expression and continued speaking, "The Afu Mi Forbidden Zone is very dangerous. I only have one artifact left, which I have already given to Rou'er. Now I can only give you this item; it is better than nothing."
As he spoke, Gesen Mountain took out a weapon and demonstrated how to use it for Guan Yue: "Look, this is an Imperial-Grade Weapon. It requires five hundred drops of Essence to activate. I have modified it so that you can easily activate one of its functions; it can be used for self-defense."
Guan Yue looked at his cheap master's hand and saw a Purple Wood Red Ruler.
Then Gesen Mountain demonstrated for Guan Yue and had him follow along. Soon Guan Yue learned how to activate this Imperial-Grade Weapon. However, he could only use one of its functions: protection. Once he activated this wooden ruler-shaped Imperial-Grade Weapon, it transformed into a net that wrapped around him, capable of blocking attacks from spirit beasts.
Gesen Mountain said, "Time waits for no one; we will set off for the Afu Mi Forbidden Zone in a few days."
"Senior, why are you going to the forbidden area?" Guan Yue asked curiously.
"Child, it's for Rou'er. She was poisoned by my enemies when she was very young, and she won't live past fourteen. I've heard that there is a medicine in the Afu Mi Forbidden Zone called Winter's New Sprout that can remove the poison from Rou'er. So we must go. But why do you want to go to Afu?" Gesen Mountain's face was filled with sorrow, but he also cared about Guan Yue.
"I want to go to the forbidden area for training, to improve my Willpower," Guan Yue explained before quickly asking, "Senior, are we leaving for the forbidden area in a few days?"
"Yes, there's no time left. Rou'er's condition has suddenly worsened, so our original plan must be moved up. Old Man has put in a lot of effort this time and made thorough preparations for this final gamble for Rou'er; it will be worth it." Gesen Mountain's face showed a resolute expression. He had prepared for the worst and was willing to sacrifice everything for his granddaughter's future happiness.
With just a few days left, what should he do?
Guan Yue kept pondering this question because he knew that the Afu Mi Forbidden Zone was indeed very dangerous. To increase his chances of survival, he needed to become stronger.
Guan Yue casually climbed to the top of a mountain and took out the Imperial-Grade Weapon that Tai Shi Xiao Xiao had given him. It turned out to be something pen-shaped, resembling a ballpoint pen from his previous life. However, the ink cartridge was filled with powder. When activated, this powder would spray out in a line, blinding opponents. Guan Yue thought to himself that this kind of weapon was more suitable for girls; it felt awkward for boys to use.
At that moment, Gao Yuxin spoke up: "Brother Guan, this mountainous area is full of Treasure; why aren't you picking any? To your ten o'clock direction, there's a Cloud Mist Grass; directly in front of you at twelve o'clock is a Life Tree. The fruits on those trees are extremely valuable; you should pick them immediately, or they will wither away. Also, at your four o'clock direction..."
Gao Yuxin's words sparked great interest in Guan Yue: Yes, since he had come to this mountain, how could he not take advantage of its rich resources? It seemed that some special functions of the unreliable Supreme Intelligence had suddenly activated; he should make use of them quickly before they disappeared since all its abilities were randomly generated until the Supreme Intelligence technique was officially activated.
Thus, Guan Yue traversed mountains and valleys, tirelessly collecting all the treasures sensed by Supreme Intelligence over three days.
In those three days, he climbed over a dozen towering peaks, exhausting himself nearly to death. However, through this experience, Guan Yue was very satisfied with Supreme Intelligence's capabilities. He discovered that Gao Yuxin's sensing ability had at least a fifteen-kilometer range—truly impressive! He was also pleased with his own physical abilities; he had indeed improved significantly!
With the Treasure in hand, how should he consume it? Could he really just swallow it whole? Aside from directly consuming a few fruits from the Life Tree, Guan Yue had not yet eaten any of the other Treasures. However, after swallowing the life fruits, Guan Yue found himself growing taller day by day and experiencing constant stomach discomfort as he expelled foul-smelling substances daily—much to his own disdain. Yet his spirit improved day by day.
At that moment, Gao Yuxin spoke again: "Brother Guan, I have analyzed all the treasures you've collected; there are two types that will be particularly helpful for you right now. They can help you truly break through to the Attainment Realm in the shortest time possible."
"Really? Is that true?"
Hearing Guan Yue's excited voice change, Gao Yuxin smiled, her laughter like a silver bell, very pleasant to hear: "Brother Guan, once you reach the Attainment Realm, your Essence count can reach five hundred."
Guan Yue chuckled: "Alright, once I reach the Attainment Realm, I'll have a good chance in the Afu Mi Forbidden Zone."
"Good, I'll take the opportunity to increase your suffering; you'll have a hard time. You must endure," Gao Yuxin's voice remained clear and crisp, but there was a hint of mischief in it.
That night, Guan Yue consumed two pieces of Treasure Ice Extreme Grass and Apex Dew that he had harvested, then sat down to meditate.
Guan Yue felt as if his body was being tormented by Gao Yuxin again; pain and palpitations surged like waves, one wave higher than the last, causing him unbearable pain. His body broke out in cold sweat, soaking his clothes. Guan Yue bit his lip tightly, drawing blood as the pain continued to assault him. Gradually, he rolled around on the ground in agony, his entire body turning red from blood beads seeping through his skin and mixing with sweat.
At that moment, Gao Yuxin also sensed Guan Yue's suffering and began to softly recite poetry to encourage him:
"To live as a hero among men, to die as a ghostly champion,
To this day I think of Xiang Yu, unwilling to cross the river east."
"Looking at the door to seek refuge like Zhang Jian, enduring death for a moment waiting for Du Gen.
I laugh with my sword pointed at the sky, whether I stay or leave my heart and guts are both Kunlun."
The short verses recited from Gao Yuxin's clear voice seemed to grant Guan Yue a tremendous amount of Mental Strength. He realized that Gao Yuxin had grasped his fondness for poetry and could draw strength from the verses. This Supreme Intelligence truly understood him well.
