CHAPTER 539: CHAPTER 321: THIS IS A USER MANUAL FROM THE FUTURE

Knowing so much as to be frightening.

As long as someone mentions which family’s young lady was forced into the brothel, or which nearby brothel has welcomed an impressive new headliner, Lu Luo’s chatter never seems to stop.

With animated expressions and heartfelt emotions, even sitting in her wheelchair, she gestures with a flourish, showcasing countless styles and techniques, making someone nearby roll their eyes.

Previously, he thought Lu Luo had been forced to leave her hometown and live a lonely life through such means in this harsh world. But it turns out... she chose this willingly.

A fox spirit is a fox spirit, in the end, he was just too young.

Pushing the wheelchair, he wandered all around the mountain with Lu Luo. To be honest, if the wheelchair wasn’t so inconvenient, he might have modified it into a flying sword, with others soaring on Sword Flight, while he would fly around in a wheelchair.

Actually, thinking about it, it’s not impossible.

Sword cultivation, researching Daoist Skill, pushing Lu Luo around shopping, sparring with Bai Yu and Miss Lin, or diving into the Spiritual Spring for a few hours.

This was the daily life after he returned to Swordmaster Peak.

Since coming home, his life has become extremely regular, particularly after a trip to Country Liang, which made him realize his many shortcomings.

The most fatal among them is endurance.

In terms of short bursts of power and aggressiveness, he never considered himself lacking, at least Jiang Feng believed he had enough. Whether facing the Golden Monk with Buddhist treasures or confronting Xuan Yinzi with two Earth Rank Magic Treasures and a pile of Earth Rank Cultivation Techniques, he was never at a disadvantage.

At least in the short term, he could rely on his Sword Qi and the explosive power from Thunder Technique to counter his opponents, especially as he also possessed the Demon Heart Technique, which was indeed a significant boost.

But his weaknesses were also quite evident.

That was the lack of endurance.

Although Jiang Feng has a bit of PTSD towards the word "endurance," if someone mocked him for it, he would likely jump up immediately. But the truth is.

He had to admit his endurance wasn’t enough.

Night had already fallen.

Back at home, Jiang Feng simply sat quietly, overflowing with thoughts.

Since returning from Country Liang, he often found himself in deep contemplation, trying to find his future path. Liu Tangxi never questioned this; some things Jiang Feng needed to understand on his own without her intervention.

Everyone has their own path, their choice, and their way of improving their strength. What suits oneself might not suit one’s junior, so Liu Tangxi always gave him the freedom to explore.

Holding a bamboo slip, he spread it on the table.

Today was still fulfilling, starting in the morning by taking the little junior sister to report at the main peak, noting names, touring the main peak, and after returning to the Mountain Gate at noon, he took Sister Lu Luo out for leisure. The afternoon naturally required no mention, as it was the usual practice session with fellow sect members, and Miss Lin had a round of bruises.

Currently, he hadn’t mentioned the relationship between the Joyful Sect and Miss Lin, as he felt the timing wasn’t right recently, at least until the Nine Peaks Martial Competition concluded.

Most of the people in the mountain were asleep, or rather, meditating in their rooms for cultivation.

The man sat in the house with only the candlelight, flipping through the bamboo slip book repeatedly, feeling a bit troubled, with his expression filled with anxiety.

"So much has happened lately."

"Originally, the direction of my development was already problematic. Apart from pondering the Nine Peaks Martial Competition, I also have to think about how to suppress the ghostly entity inside me. If I don’t make the top ten, never mind how the senior sister might think, dealing with that annoying Serpent inside is trouble enough."

"I need to find a way to get that mental method, otherwise, each time I use the Demon Heart Technique, I’ll face a backlash."

"Going to Country Liang shattered my confidence entirely. If it wasn’t for Xuan Yinzi, the fool recklessly boosting my confidence, I might have just given up."

"Ying Ling, Jin Yuan, Yue Yue, and Yu Rou, apart from Tong Xin, I haven’t seen them in action. I’m no match against these four grand ladies. What’s more, they’re only a few years older than me."

"It’s two years before the Phoenix Heavenly Cave opens. In these two years, what will I use to catch up? Not to mention being surrounded by enemies, with Xuanyin Sect keeping an eye on me, other sects watching me too, and while there was cooperation with Hehuan, I’m uncertain whether they’re friends or foes."

"Buddhism and the Demon Race might have already vaguely sensed something, and the Southern Border too. According to Yue Yue, since Hou Zhongxiao died, Hou Family Village’s attention has turned to me."

"In two years, I’d be lucky to cultivate to High Grade Core Formation; reaching the peak seems impossible. Those grand ladies could easily advance to Nascent Soul, and even if I kept up with cultivation... can I truly win?"

Covering his head.

Using two fingers to press hard on his temples, looking at the bulging veins on the back of his hand, he felt as if he might crush his temples on the spot.

He had personally witnessed the battle between Qing Mei and the heavenly entity, both truly using all their force, completely different from himself.

One could embody the Fire Phoenix for hours without turning red or breathing hard, and the other manipulated Taiyi and Taixu Daoist Skills to twist space like a Rubik’s Cube. Crucially, they weren’t even the main forces in the subsequent Phoenix Heavenly Cave.

The main forces include the chief disciples of each sect, who had been cultivating Nascent Souls for years, all trained as immortal successors by their sects.
