Chapter 324: Different World Rules
But Ding Ling effortlessly cultivated to the realm of Great Perfection in an instant.
Dan Qingsheng still couldn’t stay calm or composed.
To put it plainly.
It’s like someone toiling for a hundred years to earn five million, while someone else wins five million with a lottery ticket!
Can the heart stay balanced?
Can there be no sense of disparity?!
Even with mental preparation, this huge sense of disparity, under such a strong contrast, is still deadly!
Feeling as if struck by lightning is perfectly normal.
[Achievement Medal Earned: You have gained Dan Qingsheng’s deep recognition.]
[Note: Dan Qingsheng, being a smooth operator adept at riding with the tide, is equally self-confident and proud. He considers himself a top genius in painting and sword techniques!
However, your appearance has thoroughly and mercilessly shattered his pride! It made him truly realize what it means to be an unparalleled prodigy!]
Upon hearing the prompt.
Ding Ling knew it was secure.
Exhaling deeply, all the Primordial Qi got absorbed and refined within his Dantian.
He felt the drop of water in his Dantian becoming heavier and more rounded, as if it were about to split into a second drop at any moment.
Ding Ling slightly sensed his own Inner Strength.
Indeed, he had grown much stronger!
"Have I progressed to the Innate Realm of martial arts fiction?"
Ding Ling pondered:
"If that’s the case. Why does this First-class Inner Power Heart Method still work on me?"
According to the usual process.
Once reaching the Third-class Inner Strength level.
Third-class Inner Power immediately loses its effect.
At the Second-class Inner Strength level.
Second-class Inner Power does not lose effect immediately, but after reaching the First-class realm, it still becomes useless.
Because Huang Zhonggong had previously taught Ding Ling Second-class Inner Power.
Ding Ling had tried it.
It only increased his foundation.
"It seems that this First-class Inner Power might also lose its effect soon?"
Ding Ling contemplated:
"If the First-class Inner Power also becomes ineffective, where can I find Innate Level Inner Power?!"
Ding Ling estimated that it shouldn’t happen too quickly.
If it were to lose effect.
It would be the ordinary First-class Inner Power to lose effect first, followed by the more profound First-class Inner Power.
The reason is simple.
"Because these profound First-class Inner Powers can step into the Innate Level Heart Techniques. So strictly speaking, they are essentially Innate Level Inner Powers."
Ding Ling breathed a sigh of relief.
"It seems that in the future, I must collect Inner Powers that are high-tier within the high-tier."
The only Inner Powers that can elevate one to Innate Level cultivation.
Are truly useful to Ding Ling!
Only then can Ding Ling rapidly grow stronger.
Why, despite having such high-tier Techniques, have Huang Zhonggong and others been unable to step into the Innate Realm?
It can only be said that...
"In a world of diversities, even with the same master and same Techniques, some become First-class experts while others remain Third-class. Whether one can step into Innate depends on talent, bone structure, and the height of this world’s shackles!"
Ding Ling felt this very distinctly.
If not for his own breakthroughs.
The world’s constraints would have been enough to leave him stuck at the peak of the First-class, unable to step into the Innate Realm! Because his innate bones are too ordinary!
For others wanting to step into the Innate Realm, it’s not impossible, but extremely difficult!
"Therefore, am I already standing at the pinnacle of this world? Ready to break through the void at any moment?"
Ding Ling’s brow twitched, suddenly realizing that unknowingly, he had already reached the world’s summit!
"It seems that after completing the task, I will be able to leave this world. It’s just strange. Why doesn’t this world have Celestial Might?"
Ding Ling was somewhat puzzled.
But then he didn’t think much of it.
Every world is different.
Some worlds have the favor of fate and Celestial Might, while others naturally do not!
...
Not long after.
Dan Qingsheng walked out from the inner hall.
Facing the inquiring eyes of Hei Baizi and others.
Under Huang Zhonggong’s gaze, Dan Qingsheng didn’t dare to lie and told the truth, word for word.
Everyone was naturally shaken and astonished.
Afterwards.
Huang Zhonggong signaled Tubi Elder to impart a few things.
By now, Tubi Elder was convinced that Ding Ling’s talent was truly unrivaled in the world and, seeing Huang Zhonggong’s high regard for Ding Ling, was determined to help Ding Ling grow.
His thoughts turned, and realizing Ding Ling’s genius, he knew it was a golden opportunity; better to hold on now than later.
He was decisive.
Entering the inner hall, he imparted all the supreme skills one by one.
As expected.
Ding Ling achieved Full Level in all.
With only the Four-dimensional Attributes slightly increased due to mastering a high-tier calligraphy style.
The Inner Power Value also increased by +100.
The drop of water in his Dantian became increasingly heavy, solid, and resilient.
Ding Ling gently clenched his fist.
He could feel the surging Inner Power coursing through his palm, as if it could burst forth like a rushing waterfall at any moment.
"Now I am growing stronger and stronger. This feeling is truly exhilarating."
After the Eight Meridians Connected.
Ding Ling’s cultivation could be described as advancing by leaps and bounds.
With further cultivation of Inner Power.
Everything was smooth, with no obstacles.
When he walked out of the inner hall once more.
Everyone could clearly feel the change in Ding Ling’s aura!
Each one couldn’t help but change their countenance.
Feeling that the most extraordinary things they had experienced in their lives paled in comparison to what they witnessed today!
They were truly left astounded, witnessing the extraordinary!
"Hahaha..."
Huang Zhonggong laughed, stroking his beard, and said:
"Ding Ling, congratulations. Now your cultivation is not necessarily unprecedented, but certainly unparalleled. It’s likely that even Ren Woxing, who once dominated, is no longer a match for you!"
Hearing Huang Zhonggong elevating Ding Ling.
And belittling Ren Woxing.
Xiāng Wentian was visibly displeased, but he was deep-minded, knowing it’s crucial not to make a mess now, so he just watched quietly from the side.
Suffice it to say, he was also frustrated.
Originally, bringing Ding Ling over was to utilize him, to maneuver him in completing the task and rescuing someone.
Unexpectedly, Ding Ling was so brave and bold, taking immediate charge, gaining the high regard of Huang Zhonggong and others.
Logically, this was good.
But for some reason.
Xiāng Wentian always felt a vague unease.
"Second brother. What do you think?"
Huang Zhonggong looked at Hei Baizi.
Hei Baizi now found himself in a dilemma, feeling torn between choices.
He was frustrated and regretful.
Frustrated because Huang Zhonggong and the others didn’t think before acting, passing on supreme skills so freely! Even if Ding Ling’s Zither Skill and other talents are truly unrivaled, they shouldn’t commit to it so recklessly! Surely some days of consideration would be wise?
Regretful because of his previous petty and short-sighted behavior, comparing it to Huang Zhonggong and others left him feeling petty. If he now decided to collaborate, wouldn’t it make him seem foolish and selfish?
But having come this far.
Huang Zhonggong and his brothers all taught him. If he didn’t, wouldn’t it offend everyone even more?
