Chapter 108 New Year's Eve Talk on Magic and Martial Arts
Time flies, like clouds drifting by.
New Year's Eve.
My father came back yesterday, and this year the three of us will be together for the Spring Festival, so we can have a lively and festive holiday.
Lu Hao got up early in the morning. His blood and energy had been increasing these past few days, so he didn't have time to practice anything else.
He simply cleaned the house, did some chores, and spent time with his mother, acting like a dutiful son, which made his mother quite happy.
As for his father praising Lu Hao's speech upon returning, he had heard the news while he was in the underground cave and watched Lu Hao's speech as soon as he came out.
He acted like this was my son, and now he has new topics to talk about with those old guys.
"Hao'er, now that you've become Lü Fengrou's disciple, I'll explain the situation at Magic Martial Arts Academy to you properly, so you won't be completely confused."
Lu Jingxuan lay back in the recliner and said to Lu Hao, "Okay, Dad, you go ahead and say it."
"You know your teacher is at the peak of the sixth rank, right?"
"Know"
"Your teacher was already at the peak of the sixth rank ten years ago. An incident caused her psychological trauma, making it very difficult for her to break through, though not impossible. And once she does break through, she might fight the City Lord of Tianmen City to the death, potentially leading to a counterattack by the City Lord against humanity."
Therefore, some people did not want her to break through, while others supported her. Some remained neutral, including the four grandmasters of Magic Martial Arts: Elder Zhang, Wu Kuishan, Huang Jing, and even Senior Liu Polu, who stayed in Nanjiang.
Old Liu has always maintained neutrality within Magic Martial Arts.
Wu Kuishan and Huang Jing are actually from two different factions. Although they appear united externally, there are internal conflicts. Their differing ideologies have kept Elder Zhang largely neutral. Huang Jing supports your teacher's breakthrough, while Wu Kuishan, being your teacher's husband, does not. He knows your teacher's situation and knows that a breakthrough would inevitably lead to a fight to the death at Tianmen City, hence his obstruction. This is the current internal situation at Magic Martial Arts University. Since you've chosen to become Lü Fengrou's disciple, you will undoubtedly support your teacher's breakthrough in the future.
Unless you can convince Lü Fengrou not to fight to the death, Wu Kuishan will definitely stop you. Although he wouldn't bully the weak, he still doesn't like you.
Therefore, it's best not to get involved in this matter yet. Your advancement is very fast; you've already reached the middle of the fourth rank, and your combat strength is extraordinary. So you'll soon reach the sixth rank. Once you reach the sixth rank, no one should stop you from expressing your opinion. At the same time, you also need to persuade Lü Fengrou to stay, otherwise, if she really goes to fight alone, Wu Kuishan probably won't let you off the hook. Lu Jingxuan said to Lu Hao with a smile.
"...This is so unfair! Does that mean I can't help my teacher break through her limits until I've convinced her to stay?"
Lu Hao looked constipated as he spoke. Although he knew what was going on inside, he hadn't thought about it that much. Only after Lu Jingxuan mentioned it did he realize what was happening.
This is a total rip-off!!!
"It's alright, you can guide your teacher through this problem gradually. After all, it will take you at least three or four years to reach the sixth rank."
Take it slow, subtly change your mentor's mind. When you reach the sixth rank, things will naturally fall into place.
Lu Jingxuan said.
Lu Hao didn't know what to say. Three or four years? He estimated that he would reach the peak of the sixth rank next year. How could he have three or four years to subtly influence himself?
If all else fails, the only option left is to find a way to make the teacher see the difference between the two. I remember in the original story, Lü Fengrou did just that because she saw the difference between them, and with Fang Ping's encouragement...
That's why she didn't seek revenge after breaking through, since she did want to, but she wasn't stupid. It was enough to make her realize the gap between them.
This shouldn't be too difficult. With a little persuasion, it should be fine. At worst, I can just avenge the teacher.
He's just a ninth-rank city lord. I estimate that Lu Hao will reach that level in another year or two.
"Okay, I understand."
"Okay, now that we've finished talking about that, let's talk about something interesting. Have you met any girls you're attracted to at your school?"
If you have the opportunity, be proactive and bold. Martial artists don't like dragging things out; they prefer to be straightforward.
After finishing his serious business, Lu Jingxuan's expression changed, and he suddenly said in a very lewd manner.
"—No, as long as the underground world remains, I'm not prepared to date."
Lu Hao said speechlessly, "If others knew that the grandmaster in their eyes looked like this, I don't know how many people would not be able to accept it."
"Hao'er, the destruction of the underground world is one thing, but you should find a girlfriend as soon as possible. Our family's situation doesn't matter what the other side's situation is like. As long as you feel attracted, go for it boldly." —Dad, there really aren't any girls I like, so please stop playing matchmaker here.
"Ahem, I was just saying I'd introduce you to some of my old friends' kids, so you could get to know them."
Lu Hao just stared at Lu Jingxuan speechlessly, without saying a word.
I'm still a child, okay? Even after the New Year, I'll only be 19 years old. Is it really necessary to arrange blind dates so early?
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Do you have any questions about cultivation?"
"I'll help you solve it. After all, my cultivation level is higher, and it's definitely better for me to cultivate under my guidance than for you to cultivate alone."
Seeing that Lu Hao was truly uninterested, Lu Jingxuan finally spoke seriously, though he was thinking of talking to Bai Qiuyao that night, since the Lu family line couldn't end.
Only then did Lu Hao begin to speak, explaining the various minor problems and questions he had encountered during his cultivation.
It has to be said that a grandmaster is a grandmaster. Some of the problems that troubled Lu Hao were no problem at all for Lu Jingxuan, and were solved in no time.
Then the whole family happily put up Spring Festival couplets, hung lanterns, and prepared for the New Year's Eve dinner. Outside, firecrackers were already going off early.
Lu Jingxuan also received many phone calls, all from people wishing him a Happy New Year. After all, as a Grandmaster-level expert, Lu Jingxuan had countless people who wanted to curry favor with him.
Meanwhile, Bai Qiuyao was equally busy, with many subordinates coming to offer New Year's greetings, even busier than Lu Jingxuan.
As for Lu Hao, he tried to call his teacher, but couldn't get through; the teacher had probably gone down into the underground cave.
He called Qin Fengqing, who was bragging about his successful breakthrough. But Lu Hao's comment that he had also broken through, and even reached the intermediate level, instantly broke his guard.
As for Wang Jinyang, they got through to him, but it turned out he wasn't spending the New Year in Yangcheng, but in Jiangcheng.
Before Lu Hao could ask why, he heard a young girl's voice on the other end of the phone, "Brother Jin Yang, dinner's ready!"
Lu Hao then remembered Wang Jinyang's situation: his teacher was trapped in a remote cave, and he had adopted his teacher's child.
However, I remember Fang Ping often mocking her, saying that she was Wang Jinyang's child bride, and that Wang Jinyang's teacher was still alive in the Tiannan Underground Cave.
Spray spray? Whether Old Wang eventually married or not, nobody knows, but they were very close.
After chatting with Wang Jinyang for a few minutes, I learned that he had also broken through to the middle stage of the fourth rank and was now at the same level as Lu Hao. We agreed on a time to go down into the underground cave and then I hung up the phone.
