Chapter 1781: Education

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Anyone who checked on Wangchen’s talent could tell how pampered he was. His skin, muscles, bones, organs, tendons, blood vessels, and meridians have all reached the level of top geniuses after years of nourishment from a formation and other resources. His soul was as pure as holy light, an indication of his superb comprehension talent. His bloodline had reached the limit of purification; he only needed one more push to awaken it.

Paragons or Primals can have descendants, and they are usually extremely talented, not only because of their lineages, but also because of how many resources are placed on nurturing them at birth. Wangchen not only received such treatment, but even better: after all, Wang Wei tailored everything to his [Existence], which only Saints can do for their children or descendants.

"Why are you staring? I know I’m handsome, but there is no need for all that," Wangchen smirked.

Wang Wei ignored him and said," Every time I think about how many resources you had as a kid compared to me, I want to beat you." Compared to most people, Wang Wei knew his childhood environment was decent. His family probably used the best Saint — now called the Dao Domain Realm — and above resources for him. But his growing environment does not come close to this bastard’s.

"Isn’t this how it’s supposed to be? The older generation suffered so that the younger ones don’t," Wangchen replied.

"Even if that’s true, it doesn’t stop me from being jealous and wanting to slap you."

Wangchen saw the dangerous light in his teacher’s eyes and took a few steps behind his mother. He knew his teacher could be unreasonable sometimes, so he always watched out for when to test him and when to run away. And the best protection has always been his mother.

A small smile crept on Chenli’s mouth as she watched these two argue. No matter how she felt about Wang Wei before, she had to admit he was a man of his word. Maybe it was unfair to use such simple words to describe his personality. For their deal, at least the part about training her son, he went above board. Over the past 15 years, he not only used the best methods to develop his talent but also taught him music, art, and strategy, and even forced him to read countless scriptures that contain the hidden truth of Heaven and Earth to pave the way for his training. The only complaint she has is that all her efforts to become his concubine have failed; no matter what she does, he refuses to be the child’s father.

"Alright, since your body has matured, it’s time to start cultivating," Wang Wei said. "Come. Sit straight and let me ask you a question: what do you think is the most important for a cultivator? Resources? Talent? Background? Or something else?"

Wangchen stood straight with his right hand around his chin as he pondered," My first instinct is to say talent, but as long as they have a deep enough background, talent can also be modified. A good background also comes with resources and protection, but it’s not guaranteed." A ruthless light flashed in his eyes. From a young age, he knew that his entire clan had been massacred. So, while a good background made things easier, it wasn’t the most important factor, since people can succeed without it.

"What is something that no cultivator can reach the pinnacle without?" Wangchen asked himself, and the answer dawned on him. "Willpower."

"It seems you’re not entirely a lost cause," Wang Wei said as he sipped his tea. From his brief observation of this world, Wang Wei realized that most of its natives are arrogant and a bit impulsive, not because they are stupid, but because the culture of this world demands that everyone be domineering to consolidate the Will.

It did not help that their bloodline came from another arrogant, domineering race, such as the Chaos Demon Gods. Wang Wei plans to cultivate Wangchen’s domineering side, but he wanted it to be the subtle kind, such as himself, not the brute and obvious side. As such, he forced the child to meditate and train his tactical and analytical skills.

Wang Wei waved his hand to summon a pagoda. "I’ve designed this thing to temper your willpower. There are twelve layers, and only after you pass will we start cultivating."

"Thats it?" Wangchen asked, not hiding his arrogance. "This will be a breeze."

Wang Wei only glanced at him. He designed this pagoda based on the one he used as a child, and even added a few more layers, one of which is modeled after his experience in Primordial Chaos when he was just a mortal soul trying to survive. The other layers were designed based on the True Power Dao Realm tribulations to prepare this little brat. Although the tribulations of this realm were slightly different, many were similar.

Wangchen confidently rushed into the Pagoda, and a display appeared in the cave, showing his experience. The word worried could have well been written on Chenli’s face, but Wang Wei remained calm as he continued sipping his tea. Things proceeded as he expected. Wangchen took a while to pass the first layer, but he failed at the second layer.

"Impossible," the boy cried. "Is my willpower so weak?"

"Otherwise?" Wang Wei sneered.

"No way. You must have cheated." He couldn’t accept this. At a young age, he bore the weight of his family’s annihilation, but he always remained composed and did not let it affect him. Compared to the village children, he was not only more mature but also had the greatest pain tolerance and the greatest willpower.

"Boy, it’s time for you to understand you are a frog in a well, a canary raised in a glassed house," Wang Wei sneered. "Everything special and unique about you comes from me, but there are certain things even I cannot give you. Forget how I will not always be here to protect and guide you, and even if I could, you will not go far in life if you don’t stop relying on your mother or me."

Wangchen stood in place, his mind blank and on the verge of collapsing. Cheli wanted to approach or say something, but with one glance from Wang Wei, she gritted her teeth and remained quiet. So, for more than an hour, a statue stood in the middle of the room until a ruthless and savage look flashed in the young boy’s face.

"Fine. I’ll prove I can succeed with you." Without hesitation, he rushed back to the pagoda.

"At least, your courage is commendable," Wang Wei smiled.

Ten Years — it took Wangchen ten years to finally pass all twelve layers. Ten years is nothing for a cultivator, but for a mortal, it’s enough to turn that arrogant teenager into a young man. Wangchen now resembled a calm, composed, and well-bred young man.

"Hahaha, old man, I did it. I finally passed. What do you have to say for yourself?" he arrogantly said.

"It took you so long to pass, and you dare boast in front of me?" Wang Wei sneered.

"I am the best among everybody, why can’t I boast? I don’t believe anyone else could have passed this test in just ten years," Wangchen sneered. Wang Wei chose countless talented children from around the world with the best talent to become vassals and even clan members for when this kid revives the Fusan family. And compared to the others, he was indeed the only one who had passed the test in just ten years.

"Did you know I was born with a willpower comparable to an Elder Fiendgod?"

"Bullshit," Wangchen denied. "Even children of Saints who, in the wound, can experience a form of reincarnation by living their parents’ lives will not be born with such high willpower."

"I have no need to lie to you," Wang Wei calmly stated as he stood from his chair. "Anyway, take three days off. Then, we will start the second phase of training."

Wangchen stood as if embedded in the ground. He glanced at his mother," He’s lying, right?"

"Probably?" Even she was not sure.

"No way, right?"

Three days later, Wangchen and his mother arrived in a special room in the cave with a blood pool at the center. However, he ignored that and asked his teacher, "You were lying, right? No way you could be born with such high willpower?"

"Some people are anomalies; their very existence breaks the natural order of the universe," Wang Wei calmly stated. "Let’s hope you never meet one in your life."

Wangchen was speechless. A part of him felt his teacher was speaking nonsense, but a greater part felt the latter was telling the truth. However, regardless of the truth, he decided to rein in his arrogance from now on. "What’s this blood pool for?"

"A second bloodline awakening," Wang Wei responded.

"Really?" All children of clans will experience their first bloodline awakening ceremony after birth. However, even he knew that only a few clans had the resources and knowledge to ensure a safe, secure second bloodline awakening for their descendants.
