Chu Zhiyuan frowned, staring at Chu Liechu's back until it completely disappeared.
Super-sensory perception.
Chu Liechu continued walking up the mountain, slowly ascending the ice-covered steps, the smile on his lips gradually fading, his tiger eyes flashing with a sharp light.
Under the super-sensory perception, Chu Liechu's subtle expressions, the flicker and changes in his eyes, and the minute movements of his limbs were all presented in Chu Zhiyuan's mind.
Chu Zhiyuan frowned again.
His elder brother was truly difficult to deceive.
Even though he could see his cultivation level and had tested his Great Bright Fist's realm.
He was still not completely at ease.
… …
At noon, Chu Honglin appeared.
He looked at the vortex above Chu Zhiyuan's head from afar and nodded with emotion.
Compared to the vortex he had seen at the beginning, the current vortex was obviously faster and larger.
This meant that the yin-yang fish in his dantian were larger and spun faster, making his cultivation speed dozens of times faster than others.
More importantly, he practiced for an entire day at a time.
Others could only practice for a short while before becoming exhausted and needing to use the Great Bright Fist to restore their energy.
As a result, one day for Chu Lizhao was equivalent to a month for others.
Although there were iron thresholds between the four realms, requiring comprehension to cross to a higher realm.
His comprehension was also astonishing.
In the end, the true dragon of the Chu clan in this generation was the Ninth Prince, which was truly beyond everyone's expectations.
Chu Zhiyuan opened his eyes, a bright light flashing in them, slowly retracting into his pupils.
"Fifteenth Uncle, I want to go to the Di Martial Academy to choose a unique skill."
"Hmm—?"
"Elder Brother just came over to test me, using the Worry-Free Divine Finger. As a prince, I should also be able to choose a unique skill, right?"
"… … Princes in the Di Martial Academy can choose a unique skill, but you're not in the Di Martial Academy, so it's hard to say."
"Other princes can choose, why can't I?"
"I'll ask my imperial brother for you." Chu Honglin said, "Tell me, which one do you want to choose?"
"What are they?" Chu Zhiyuan asked, "Which one does Fifteenth Uncle think I should choose?"
"You… …" Chu Honglin pondered.
Chu Zhiyuan stared at Chu Honglin eagerly.
Chu Honglin said, "You want to choose a first-grade martial art, right?"
"Yes." Chu Zhiyuan nodded.
Others don't choose first-grade martial arts because they are difficult to comprehend and practice.
His comprehension was good, so the most suitable choice was a first-grade martial art, with formidable power.
"The Di Martial Academy has thousands of unique skills and secret techniques, but only nine are first-grade: two fist techniques, two finger techniques, three palm techniques, one claw technique, and one seal technique."
Chu Zhiyuan's eyes lit up as he listened.
The unique skills and secret techniques that can be included in the Di Martial Academy are naturally the best of the best, far from ordinary.
These nine first-grade unique skills were too tempting, like a martial artist seeing a divine weapon or a glutton seeing top-grade delicacies.
"Then which of these nine has the strongest power?"
"All being first-grade, the power is about the same, it just depends on the level of mastery."
"There must be a difference, right?"
As the saying goes, there is no first in literature, but there is no second in martial arts. As long as it is a martial art or a martial artist, there must be a distinction between high and low. Even if they are both first-grade, there is a difference.
"If you're talking about the most difficult to practice and the most powerful, it should be the Great Subduing Demon Seal."
"Great Subduing Demon Seal?"
"This seal technique has extremely high requirements for mental state, and its power is also extremely great."
"Then I'll choose this one." Chu Zhiyuan said.
"Really want to choose the Great Subduing Demon Seal? … … You should think carefully, this seal technique is difficult to practice. First, it requires an extremely subtle mental state, needing to hate evil like an enemy, yet also have a compassionate heart. No one can control this balance well. … … What's even more troublesome is that you also need to multitask, visualizing, chanting, forming seals, and both hands need to form different hand seals. This requires multitasking, and the coordination must be perfect without the slightest error. … … Otherwise, no one would be able to master it."
"Has Fifteenth Uncle tried it?"
"Yes, I practiced it for a month and gave up. This unique skill is too troublesome."
"Where does it come from?"
"It's the town mountain martial art of the Subduing Demon Spirit Mountain in the ancient era. It may require the Six Paths Subduing Demon Sutra of the Subduing Demon Spirit Mountain to cooperate, just like the relationship between the Great Bright Fist and the Immeasurable Bright Sutra."
"Six Paths Subduing Demon Sutra… …"
"It's lost… … This kind of sect-guarding mental cultivation method often had a unique inheritance method in the ancient era, not recorded in writing, so it's easy to be lost."
"So no one has mastered this seal?"
"You still want to try?"
"Please, Fifteenth Uncle!"
"… … I'll go find my imperial brother."
Chu Honglin stared at Chu Zhiyuan for a while, and seeing that Chu Zhiyuan's expression was firm, he turned and left.
Chu Zhiyuan revealed a smile.
Among the people he had come into contact with since his reincarnation, Youlan and Fifteenth Uncle were sincerely good to him.
The former was because of the original owner, while Fifteenth Uncle was because he cherished talent or, one could say, saw his former self.
When Fifteenth Uncle was a prince, he was also amazingly talented, but his position was too far back in the succession order, and the court's power had already been divided up by the princes ahead of him, so he had no hope of succeeding to the throne.
There were many imperial uncles and imperial elder brothers responsible for teaching martial arts in the Di Martial Academy, but only Fifteenth Uncle paid attention to him and helped him.
Of course, it was also because he had always been on the extraterritorial battlefield and didn't care so much about the emperor.
The other imperial uncles and imperial elder brothers had to look at the emperor's attitude.
— —
A quarter of an hour later, Chu Honglin reappeared, smiling and saying, "Imperial brother has agreed, let's go."
Chu Zhiyuan got up, clasped his fists, followed Chu Honglin, walked side by side, and smiled: "Thank you, Fifteenth Uncle, it wasn't easy to persuade Father Emperor, was it?"
Chu Honglin walked slowly, but his speed was extremely fast.
Chu Zhiyuan activated the yin-yang fish, causing spiritual energy to surge under his feet to propel him forward.
"Imperial brother really didn't want to agree," Chu Honglin said, "Your previous performance was too poor, which made imperial brother too disappointed."
Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: "Fifteenth Uncle, I don't want others to see me."
"Oh—? Are you afraid your elder brother will find out?"
"I'm afraid my elder brother won't find out," Chu Zhiyuan said.
"… … You kid, you're also starting to play tricks."
Chu Honglin immediately reacted.
The more you try to cover things up, the more likely you are to attract the attention of the First Prince.
After all, the First Prince was the eldest son of the emperor, with the deepest and strongest foundation, and the most informants.
When he was on high alert, he would closely monitor any disturbance on Great Bright Peak. Who learned which unique skill or secret technique in the Di Martial Academy should not escape his eyes.
The First Prince's attention would be on his Great Subduing Demon Seal, instead ignoring the Great Bright Fist.
It must be said that this trick was indeed very clever, it seemed that the Ninth Prince also had some intelligence.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled: "It was also because Elder Brother forced me to be quick-witted, and I only thought of this with a flash of inspiration… … Heh, everyone says I'm reckless and unwise, it's really a joke!"
"You, talk less nonsense!" Chu Honglin said unhappily: "Convince the First Prince first!"
"Elder Brother will definitely not expect it." Chu Zhiyuan smiled: "Let's see what tricks he has this time!"
