Until he finished speaking with a radiant expression, he still seemed unsatisfied, holding the sword and saying: "I think this Blessing Chain spans four systems, capturing the essence of Tian Yuan and Aether. Now, all it needs is a good name. How about..."
"...Heaven and Earth are Unjust!"
Zhou Chong didn't mind losing the right to show off, but seeing Ji Jue about to snatch the naming right with his mouth, he couldn't bear it. He snatched the sword and interrupted Ji Jue:
"——The name of the Blessing Chain is 'Heaven and Earth are Unjust'!"
Indeed, a good name.
Heaven and Earth treat all things as chaff dogs.
In translation, it means all beings are equal, equally doomed.
Ji Jue nodded: "Then I think this sword is..."
"The sword's name is 'Hui Hao'!"
Zhou Chong glared, never having reacted so quickly and decisively.
No longer could he act like a carefree master.
If he slowed down, Ji Jue's dirty little hands might touch his patent application...
Now, whenever he looked at Ji Jue, his eyes were filled with suspicion, like a famous star watching those clinging to the red carpet, taking half an hour for a few meters.
How can you cling like this!
Just move the red carpet to your home!
He snatched the sword from Ji Jue's hands and carefully wiped off the dust and questions, meaning you've seen enough, don't touch anymore.
Don't cling!
Seeing Zhou Chong's wary expression, Ji Jue sighed helplessly: Ultimately, the prejudice runs deep.
Praise you and you're still not happy!
He thought for a moment, imitating Professor Ye's demeanor, irrelevantly adjusting nonexistent glasses, pretending to speak.
Zhou Chong's movements instantly stiffened, increasing his alertness.
Maybe the shadow left by Professor Ye is too deep... Ji Jue couldn't help but sympathize, but his hands didn't hesitate, reaching out decisively.
"Congratulations, Master Zhou, for reaching new heights. But I wonder... can you share some of your joy?"
With that, he rubbed his fingers and raised his brows in indication.
A signature application form signed by Zhou Chong quickly landed in Ji Jue's hands, afraid he'd persist further.
The final signature obtained.
Seen, touched, mooched, it's rude to stay any longer after mooching.
Could get beaten.
Ji Jue took a big step back, cupping his fists in farewell: "I've learned much today. Thank you, Master Zhou. I'll visit again when I have time!"
Don't you dare come again!
Bad luck!
Zhou Chong's face looked like he'd lost a horse, just giving him one last glance and pointing at the door.
Indicating he should swiftly get out.
Just saying finally: "I don't owe her anymore."
At Spring City, although his grandson got beaten by Ji Jue, when Duan Mu rebelled, Zhou Chong was ultimately saved by Ye Xian.
Through the ups and downs over the years, the losses and gains were innumerable.
He wouldn't let a moment's grudge influence his career, nor would he forever lower himself because of a moment's favor, facing Ye Xian's contemptuous gaze.
However...
This time, he's thoroughly doomed!
Lost the wife and the soldiers.
Just stood up and kicked a few times, then the bike took the luggage and ran... What's this?
Thought teaching some trivial things would suffice, a moment's guidance could settle the old grudge, what a great chance, Ji Jue can't learn it himself, it's not his fault.
Unexpectedly, this happened.
Just a moment.
Failed to guard even a moment.
At the brink of furnace explosion, while Zhou Chong was keeping the system in place, Ji Jue seized the chance.
Had a look.
But just a look, and in finishing up, Ji Jue's operating logic and style changed completely, no longer passive, even actively collaborating to observe more changes and structures.
A true phrase conveyed is worth more than volumes of false ones.
Undoubtedly, in that glimpse through the fence, Ji Jue had grasped the essence and truth of All Sources Return.
More like, connecting the dots...
"...River Formation?"
He stroked the marks on the Melting Furnace, reading Ji Jue's operations, guessing and analyzing. In the moment of realization, his fingers twitched slightly, gripping tight.
Could it be the Thousand Island Region techniques from Endless Sea, passed down from Nanyun years ago?
And skill level wasn't ordinary, had reached mastery!
But wasn't Nanyun's main branch doomed forty years ago, falling into You Sui afterwards? Where did he learn this?
Could it be taught by Jian Yuan himself in the workshop back then?
His thoughts raced, almost amused by his own guess.
But his expression grew darker.
Sighing silently.
Even a glimpse couldn't reveal the whole picture, but understanding is understanding, capability is capability. Sometimes, all that's missing is a bit of Spirit Light.
Even if Ye Xian nowadays scorns lurking into his legacy, someday, if Ji Jue grows and advances, he might create his own school from it.
"Toiled all these years, thought today I'd advance further."
In the silence, he laughed self-deprecatingly, "Didn't think I'd become someone else's stepping stone again."
Outside, seeing Ji Jue leave, Zhou Cheng limped in with a plaster cast, suppressing his discontent and asked: "You just gave him the stuff?"
Turning back to Zhou Cheng's face, as naive as a university student's, Zhou Chong sighed: Did I only give him a signature?
