    Chapter 382

    Feng Yuer visibly let out a sigh of relief. She paused for a moment, carefully organizing her thoughts before slowly asking,

    "Junior Brother Feng Wei... you only joined the sect a year ago, didn't you?"

    Su Hao was a little surprised by the question, but still nodded.

    "That's right."

    Feng Yuer lowered her gaze.

    "Junior Brother... I was completely powerless against you."

    "So the real genius is you... not me."

    "That's what I realized over the past two days."

    "Then a question kept bothering me."

    "If I'm not a genius... why has Master always insisted that I'm a once-in-a-century genius?"

    "The more I think about everything that's happened, the more confused I become."

    "I can't explain exactly what's wrong... but something just doesn't feel right."

    "So I wanted to ask you."

    "You're also called a genius."

    "Have you ever felt something similar?"


    ---

    Su Hao's first thought was,

    "Has this girl become overly suspicious after suffering a setback?"

    After all...

    She had used him as the standard for comparison.

    Who was he?

    Strictly speaking, he had lived for well over two hundred years.

    If an ordinary teenager compared themselves to him...

    Anyone would end up doubting their own life.

    Su Hao smiled.

    "First, let me correct one thing."

    "I'm not a genius."

    "I can tell you very clearly."

    "People call me a genius because they don't understand what I've done."

    "They use the word 'genius' to erase all the effort behind it."

    "I wasn't a genius before."

    "And I won't be one in the future."

    He continued calmly,

    "Second..."

    "I once believed that someone was constantly trying to kill me."

    "But after I became strong enough to protect myself..."

    "Those people disappeared."

    "So..."

    "If you're worried that someone intends to harm you..."

    "Then become stronger."

    "Gain enough strength to protect yourself."


    ---

    Feng Yuer hesitated.

    "But..."

    "I can't even defeat you..."

    Su Hao was speechless.

    "Why are you comparing yourself to me?"

    "I'm not trying to harm you."


    ---

    Feng Yuer softly replied,

    "I just feel..."

    "...that you're very strong."

    Su Hao chuckled.

    "You're always saying 'I feel.'"

    "Your intuition can deceive you."


    ---

    Feng Yuer asked once more,

    "Then how do I obtain enough strength to protect myself?"

    Su Hao answered matter-of-factly,

    "It's simple."

    "Advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm."

    "Then the Golden Core Realm."

    "Then the Nascent Soul Realm."

    "And finally the Unity Realm."

    "Once you've reached that level, you'll naturally possess enough power."

    Feng Yuer shook her head.

    "That's not what I mean."

    "From what I've seen..."

    "Simply advancing your cultivation realm isn't enough."

    "To truly become strong..."

    "You also need powerful techniques..."

    "Powerful Artifacts..."

    "Powerful array formations..."

    "We're both in the Qi Induction Realm."

    "But I couldn't even withstand a single Wind Bullet from you."

    She lowered her voice.

    "But..."

    "Master won't let me learn those things."


    ---

    Su Hao blinked in surprise.

    "Hm?"

    "Your Master won't let you learn techniques or Artifact Refinement?"


    ---

    Feng Yuer struggled for a moment before speaking again.

    "Junior Brother..."

    "I don't know who else I can talk to."

    "Everyone looks at me strangely."

    "You're the only person I could think of."

    "I can tell..."

    "You don't have any ill intentions toward me."

    "Please..."

    "Don't tell anyone what I'm about to say."

    Su Hao nodded.


    ---

    Feng Yuer slowly continued,

    "Master keeps telling me that I'm a genius."

    "She says I'm destined to reach the Nascent Soul Realm within a hundred years."

    "She tells me to devote all my attention to cultivation."

    "I wanted to learn techniques..."

    "But she refused."

    "She only gave me powerful Artifacts."

    "She said learning techniques wastes time."

    "I wanted to learn Artifact Refinement..."

    "But she said I could always ask Artifact Refiners to make Artifacts for me."

    "No matter what I wanted to study..."

    "Master always said it was a waste of time."

    "She only wanted me to increase my cultivation realm."


    ---

    "But..."

    "A few days ago..."

    "After I lost to your Wind Bullet..."

    "I realized..."

    "Master has been lying to me."

    "I used to think she had her reasons."

    "So I never questioned her."

    "But these past few days..."

    "I haven't been able to sleep."

    "I keep thinking about everything."

    "I can't understand..."

    "Why won't she let me learn anything?"

    "I know saying this is disrespectful..."

    "But..."

    "I'm scared."

    "I really don't know what I should do."


    ---

    After listening quietly...

    Even Su Hao sensed that something was indeed strange.

    After thinking for a moment, he said,

    "Perhaps..."

    "She simply wants you to raise your cultivation first."

    "Once you've reached the Nascent Soul Realm..."

    "You can return and study everything else."


    ---

    Feng Yuer immediately shook her head.

    "No."

    "Last night..."

    "I found a diary beneath my bed."


    ---

    "A diary?"


    ---

    Feng Yuer carefully took a worn notebook from inside her robes and handed it to him.

    Su Hao accepted it.

    It looked completely ordinary.

    The handwriting was elegant.

    Clearly written by a woman.

    He flipped through it rapidly.

    With his reading speed, he finished it within moments.


    ---

    It recorded the cultivation journey of a talented female cultivator.

    The entries stretched from several months apart to several years apart...

    Covering more than a century.

    The important part was...

    Everything recorded inside was almost identical to Feng Yuer's experience.

    Constant urging to cultivate faster.

    Repeatedly forbidding her from learning techniques...

    Artifact Refinement...

    Alchemy...

    Array Formations...

    Everything was described as wasting precious cultivation time.

    Then...

    The diary abruptly ended...

    Just before its owner attempted to break through to the Golden Core Realm.


    ---

    Su Hao closed the diary and handed it back.

    Looking at Feng Yuer's frightened expression, he slowly said,

    "Then why did you show this to me?"

    "Perhaps..."

    "I can't help you either."


    ---

    Feng Yuer fell silent.

    After a long while, she softly replied,

    "I..."

    "I don't know."

    "When I first came..."

    "I only wanted to ask whether you had noticed anything strange."

    "I only wanted someone to confirm my suspicions."

    "I never intended to tell you all this."

    "But somehow..."

    "I kept talking."

    "I just feel..."

    "Perhaps you can help me."

    "Perhaps..."

    "You can tell me how to become truly strong."

    "I don't know why."


    ---

    Ever since Su Hao had effortlessly defeated her with nothing but a single Wind Bullet...

    A tiny spark of hope had appeared inside her heart.

    It was like grabbing hold of the last lifeline.

    After confirming that Su Hao bore her no ill intentions...

    She no longer cared about anything else.


    ---

    Originally...

    Su Hao had no intention of involving himself in someone else's affairs.

    But...

    His curiosity had already been piqued.

    Feng Yuer's appearance made him realize...

    This seemingly peaceful sect...

    Might not be peaceful at all.


    ---

    Simply looking at the distribution of cultivators revealed something unusual.

    Over five hundred Qi Induction cultivators.

    More than nine hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators.

    Over seven hundred Golden Core cultivators.

    But...

    Fewer than forty Nascent Soul cultivators and above.

    Previously...

    Su Hao had assumed that breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm was simply extremely difficult.

    But now...

    He wasn't so certain.

    Besides dying in battle...

    Or failing a breakthrough...

    There had to be another reason.


    ---

    Then there was Feng Cai'er's strange reaction after meeting Elder Feng two days ago...


    ---

    No matter what awaited Feng Yuer...

    Sooner or later...

    He himself would also have to face it.

    Perhaps...

    Even earlier than she would.

    Su Hao wasn't worried.

    He was simply curious.

    Perhaps...

    This secret was closely connected to the true nature of cultivation itself.


    ---

    Looking at the pitiful girl before him...

    Su Hao suddenly laughed.


    ---

    Feng Yuer looked up in confusion.

    "Junior Brother..."

    "Why are you laughing?"


    ---

    Su Hao asked,

    "Senior Sister."

    "Who cultivates faster?"

    "You..."

    "Or me?"


    ---

    Feng Yuer answered without hesitation,

    "You."

    "Much faster."

    "I've never seen anyone cultivate as quickly as you."


    ---

    Su Hao asked again,

    "Then who will reach the Nascent Soul Realm first?"

    "You..."

    "Or me?"


    ---

    "You."

    "Naturally you."


    ---

    Su Hao smiled.

    "Then..."

    "Do you think I'm strong?"


    ---

    Feng Yuer nodded seriously.

    "My intuition tells me so."


    ---

    Su Hao smiled again.

    "Then..."

    "What exactly are you afraid of?"


    ---

    Feng Yuer froze.

    She didn't understand.


    ---

    Su Hao calmly explained,

    "From everything you've told me..."

    "Even if danger truly exists..."

    "Even if someone really intends to harm you..."

    "It won't happen until you've reached the peak of the Golden Core Realm..."

    "Or perhaps when you attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm."

    "You still have a very long time before then."

    "It will probably take you nearly a hundred years to reach that point."

    He looked at her steadily.

    "By then..."

    "I'll have long since surpassed the Nascent Soul Realm."

    "Perhaps..."

    "I'll even have reached the Unity Realm."

    His voice remained as calm as ever.

    Yet the confidence within it was overwhelming.

    "Which means..."

    "Before your so-called crisis ever arrives..."

    "I'll already have faced it."

    "You said yourself..."

    "That I'm strong."

    "So..."

    "I'll simply eliminate every one of those so-called dangers."

    "When that happens..."

    "You'll naturally be safe as well."


    ---

    "So..."

    "What exactly are you afraid of?"


    ---

    Feng Yuer stood there blankly.

    His words struck her like lightning.

    That unwavering confidence...

    Made her completely lose herself for a moment.

    One thought unconsciously appeared in her mind.

    "That's right..."

    "What am I afraid of?"

    "Junior Brother can handle it..."


    ---

    Su Hao finally said,

    "Senior Sister."

    "Burn that diary."

    "Then return to your normal life."

    "Continue cultivating."

    "Act as though nothing ever happened."

    "You are still the genius your Master believes you to be."

    "Do you understand?"


    ---

    Feng Yuer nodded absentmindedly.

    She simply stood there...

    Watching Su Hao's departing figure grow farther and farther away.

      Now I understand what that demonic cultivator girl meant when she said about the righteous being just as much evil as the demonic sects. They are probably using them for maintaining their youth or some shit. This world is worse then any of the other ones, one killed kids were a political mess, other primitive eating their own but these kill anyone without a second thought, waging wars, killing mortals and killing their own....
