“T-this…” Wu Chen nearly burst into tears.

It was just a moment ago that he had thought that he would have already withered away like an aged flower by the time the young man comprehended Spatial Quintessence, but before he knew it, the young man was already freezing the Dimensional Sand in place.

Did the young man really have to be so fast?

In this moment, Wu Chen felt a stinging pain on his face. If there was a hole in the ground, he would have dived right in out of embarrassment.

He was an expert! An expert! An expert !

But in less than half a day after coming to know Zhang shi, he had already been slapped three times in the face, and each time, it left him dizzy with disbelief. He had thought that since the young man was proficient in one field, he was bound to be weaker in another… Yet, as the facts had shown time and time again, the young man was strong in every respect!

It was as if the concept of weakness did not apply to him at all!

Each time he doubted the young man, the situation would turn on him and leave him too embarrassed to meet anyone.

Just that… how did the young man do it?

Did he really just comprehend Spatial Quintessence by reading an elementary book on spatial arts?

Could it be that the key to spatial arts actually lay in the bare foundations? So, all of the secrets were actually contained within that elementary manual?

It seemed like he would really have to study it carefully in the future. Perhaps, he might just be able to comprehend something from it and improve!

Unaware of the adolescent boy’s inner thoughts, Zhang Xuan casually tossed the book in his hand back into the pile before calmly announcing, “I have dealt with the Dimensional Sand. We can move on now.”

“Un.” Luo Ruoxin nodded with a smile before heading for the palace.

Wu Chen picked up the book that Zhang Xuan had been reading previously and stared at it meaningfully. In the past, he would not even have spared a second glance at a book of this caliber, but in that moment, he could not even bear to grab the book too tightly, fearing that he would make the slightest dent on this unparalleled secret manual and hinder the progression of his fighting prowess.

…

In the Luo Clan, two ordinary disciples were currently walking toward the ancestral hall, where the tablets of Founder Luo Yuntian and countless other predecessors were placed.

These two disciples were on duty, and they had to clean the ancestral hall, offer incense sticks, and conduct the routine rituals to honor the predecessors.

“We have really embarrassed ourselves today! It’ll be hard for the Luo Clan to make a comeback after this…” the green-robed disciple walking on the left grumbled with a shake of his head.

“When has our Luo Clan suffered such humiliation since its founding?” the gray-robed disciple on the right replied.

“What’s even more infuriating is that our clan head doesn’t pay any heed to the matter despite being rejected publicly!” The green-robed disciple sighed in frustration. “If she’s unwilling to make a stand, what can the rest of us do?”

The gray-robed disciple harrumphed. “She isn’t our clan head yet! The inauguration ceremony hasn’t been conducted, remember?”

“It was only put off due to the engagement. If not for the engagement, given her bloodline and control over the Dimension Silencer, she would have already become the clan head ages ago!” the green-robed disciple said.

“But after seeing how she dealt with the humiliation we suffered earlier, I really can’t bear to think what will become of the Luo Clan under her leadership…” The gray-robed disciple sighed.

“Even if the Luo Clan declines under her leadership, there’s nothing we can do about it!” The green-robed disciple sighed. “It’s not as if you are unaware of our clan rules! Only those whose bloodline has reached a certain level of purity can become the clan head, but there’s no one other than her who has reached the mark!

“Unless someone who has comprehended our ancestor’s Spatial Quintessence appears… but in the past tens of thousands of years, no one has been able to achieve that! So, it’s only a matter of time before she becomes the clan head! We can’t possibly go against the teachings of our predecessors over this one single matter!”

“I know that, too, but I really can’t stand… What’s happening‽”

Halfway through his words, the gray-robed disciple was suddenly disrupted by intense tremors beneath his feet.
