“Chu Tian, what are you doing here? Hurry up and leave, you are not welcome here,” Chu Yanran said with a cold expression upon seeing him, clearly displeased.
“Hey, Yanran, why be so heartless? We are cousins after all; we should be closer than those outsiders,” Chu Tian replied nonchalantly, casting a disdainful glance at Ren Pingsheng.
“Hmph, I can cooperate with whoever I want. I don’t need your approval.”
“That won’t do. You’re still young and don’t realize how many con artists there are in this world. Especially those who think they have some strength; they are the least trustworthy. Otherwise, you’ll be the one who suffers in the end. If you’re looking for a partner, at least find someone strong—someone who isn’t weaker than me.”
Ren Pingsheng looked at Chu Tian, who was a Perfect Realm Warrior, and shook his head with amusement. It was obvious that Chu Tian had intentions toward Chu Yanran, which was why he was trying to undermine him. However, he couldn’t be bothered to argue about it.
“Well… you two continue chatting; I have something to attend to, so I’ll take my leave.” He shook his head and turned to leave. He planned to make good use of the next half month to increase his strength. He didn’t believe that this mission would be easy to complete. Preparing in advance would increase his chances of survival if things went south.
“How about that? Yanran, look at this guy; he’s such a coward. I only said a couple of words, and he ran away scared. If you partner with him and run into danger, he’ll definitely abandon you and flee. You should cooperate with me instead!” Chu Tian’s eyes gleamed as he became smug again.
“You… jerk!” Chu Yanran cursed and stormed off angrily. She still couldn’t see through Chu Tian’s intentions.
“Hmph, kid, consider yourself lucky. Don’t think that just because you entered the Bronze Ranking, no one can defeat you. If you run into me, I could easily knock you down with a single slap. I hope you can stay this clever in the future. Only I am worthy of Yanran’s noble status,” he muttered coldly while staring at the already distant figure of Ren Pingsheng.
“Brother Feng, congratulations! You’ve made it into the Bronze Ranking,” Ren Pingsheng returned to the courtyard and saw many people gathered together, happily chatting about something.
“Exactly! Our sect has three people in the Western Courtyard, making us top-notch here. Not to mention that the Tiger Howl Sect only has one person, and their ranking isn’t even high,” disciples from the Azure Wind Sword Sect were filled with excitement.
“It’s so lively.” As soon as he spoke, the atmosphere fell silent. Many faces turned tense.
"Cough cough... What's wrong? Why is everyone silent as soon as I arrive?" Ren Pingsheng said helplessly.
"Um, Ren Shidi, the assessment is over. You won't be looking for us to spar anymore, right?" a disciple with High-Level Warrior cultivation asked cautiously.
"Uh... No, I won't. You don't need to worry."
"Ah... That's good, that's good." The disciples of Azure Wind Sword Sect, who had been quiet, all breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed. This left Ren Pingsheng quite speechless.
Initially, he couldn't find anyone to duel with and turned his attention to these brothers from his sect in the courtyard. As expected, after a few days, they all regarded him with fear. This explains the earlier scene. His lingering reputation had a deep impact.
"Haha, Ren Shidi, look at how they are terrified of you. You must treat them to a good meal later," Feng Yi couldn't help but laugh from the side. After a month of tension, he was now relaxed.
"Exactly, exactly. Ren Shidi must reward us later," the atmosphere became lively again.
In the distance, Lin Lun glanced over and left with a somewhat gloomy expression. He had previously borrowed points from Ren Pingsheng to get a High-Level Martial Arts book for his brother and had said some threatening words.
Now, in the blink of an eye, Ren Pingsheng had entered the Bronze Ranking. This left him momentarily dazed and unable to accept this fact. Remembering how he had offended Ren Pingsheng before made him restless. He felt that Ren Pingsheng would come after him; the only reason he hadn't acted yet was that he hadn't found the opportunity.
"Have you made up your mind? Are you ready to take action?" In a dark room, Lin Lun sat with a person dressed in black. It was the black-clad person who spoke.
"I've made up my mind. If I don't act first, once his final assessment is over, he will definitely come after me. I have no choice but to strike first," Lin Lun said with a fierce expression.
"Very well, then we will take action during his mission. After all, it's been said that missions are dangerous; if he dies, no one will suspect anything."
The two conspired quietly for a long time before parting ways silently. A plot against Ren Pingsheng was unfolding in the shadows.
Realm of Artistic Conception is a very magical place within the Great Chu Academy. It is said that one can gain insights into Artistic Conception here, and it can even accelerate the understanding of Artistic Conception. Therefore, this place is both the most bustling and the most desolate in the entire academy.
The bustling aspect comes from the many people who come here to see this magical place. The desolate aspect arises because to cultivate here for a day, one needs at least one thousand points. Only those disciples ranked at the top of the Bronze List can frequently come here to cultivate. Ordinary disciples simply cannot afford it.
However, most of them come here to cultivate in order to comprehend Artistic Conception. Artistic Conception is not easy to grasp. For someone like Ren Pingsheng, who can comprehend two types of Artistic Conception on his own, it requires a monstrous level of insight. But such insight is not something everyone possesses. Many people have not comprehended Artistic Conception. They come here hoping to take advantage of this unique environment to understand Artistic Conception more easily.
"I currently have four thousand points, which allows me to cultivate for four days. I hope my Golden Realm can break through ten percent; that way, I will be able to protect myself from any dangers in the mission," Ren Pingsheng thought as he looked at the ordinary palace before him. He had previously cleared the first three levels of the Puppet Tower, earning three thousand points as a reward.
Although his eight percent Golden Realm, combined with his sword techniques, is not inferior to high-level sword skills, he still feels unsatisfied. This upcoming unknown mission gives him an uneasy feeling.
After paying four thousand points, Ren Pingsheng entered the Realm of Artistic Conception. Inside, there are many rooms; those with white signs indicate that they are empty and available for entry. Rooms with red signs indicate that someone is cultivating inside and cannot be entered. Violating this rule will result in expulsion and permanent loss of access to the Realm of Artistic Conception.
Casually choosing a room, Ren Pingsheng walked in. The room was not very large, about twenty square meters. After closing the door, it was dark without any light. However, for a martial artist, this posed no difficulty; he could still see clearly. In the center of the room was a meditation cushion, and everything else was empty.
He stepped forward and sat down on the cushion, beginning his cultivation. He had understood everything clearly upon entering, so there was nothing surprising.
Closing his eyes and calming his mind, Ren Pingsheng released his Golden Realm, and suddenly felt a blur before his eyes. When he opened them again, he realized he had entered a strange space.
"This Realm of Artistic Conception is indeed magical; this is an artificially created space for Artistic Conception, allowing one to comprehend it more quickly," he marveled as he looked around but found nothing unusual. It seemed far from the true Golden Realm. He clearly remembered accidentally entering the Golden Realm space before, where everything related to the evolution of Golden Realm existed.
"Clang!" Ren Pingsheng drew his sword and began practicing his sword techniques. From the initial Golden Edge Sword Technique to now practicing the Golden Kill Sword Technique. Repeating it over and over again, he quickly entered a wonderful state where he could grasp Golden Realm more rapidly; they danced before him continuously—though blurry, they were countless times clearer than usual.
The sword in his hand radiated endless brilliance, filling the entire space. The golden sword light resembled a golden dragon soaring up and down in the air, leaving traces in the void.
Sharpness, cutting power—nothing could withstand it or remain unbroken. Everything unfolded here. At this moment, anyone entering would be instantly torn apart. The entire space was dyed gold; every stroke of his sword caused a slight tremor.
Ren Pingsheng was oblivious to all the changes, still dancing with his sword, sometimes fast, sometimes slow. His eyes, however, were vacant, as if he were contemplating something.
The vibrations in the space grew stronger, and the sword in his hand began to move faster, like a sudden storm or a thunderclap in the dark night. The golden Sword Light surged like boiling water, restless with the movement of the sword.
They seemed dissatisfied with being trapped in this small place, continuously crashing against the Artistic Conception space. Unfortunately, each attempt returned empty-handed. Eventually, they began to follow the movements of Ren Pingsheng's sword. They converged into a Golden Dragon, roaring and howling, its sharp aura like countless blades, wildly destroying everything in front of it. The cracks in the void widened, and the space became increasingly unstable, as if it could collapse at any moment.
After an unknown amount of time, the Golden Dragon seemed to grow weary. Its golden claws pierced through the void in an instant, and with a tearing sound, the entire space was ripped apart into fragments. The Golden Dragon excitedly roared a few times before flashing into Ren Pingsheng's body.
Everything calmed down once again, with only darkness still shrouding it all.
"Ha... is it over? But the effect of this cultivation is quite good," Ren Pingsheng gently opened his eyes in the darkness, a golden light flashing through and tearing apart the night. It was clear that his face was filled with joy.
"The first level of Golden Realm is even higher than I expected." He stood up but did not leave immediately; instead, he practiced his sword. He needed to adapt to the power of Artistic Conception. Without any True Qi fluctuations, the golden Sword Light shattered the darkness, illuminating the entire room.
After a moment, Ren Pingsheng sheathed his sword and stood still. "The goal of this cultivation has been achieved; however, it seems that there won't be significant progress in Artistic Conception for a short time. My cultivation level has just increased, and there is still quite a distance to reach High-Level Warrior. So I should focus on cultivating Soul Refinement Technique and strive to break through to the first layer as soon as possible."
He clearly remembered the limitations of cultivating Soul Refinement Technique. One must first break through Soul Refinement Technique before their cultivation could advance. Otherwise, even if one reached Perfect Realm Warrior, without breaking through at least one layer of Soul Refinement Technique, they could never become a Martial Master Realm Martial Artist.
Ren Pingsheng finished his cultivation and retrieved one thousand points from Elder at the palace gate. This time he only took three days.
"Another disciple who has comprehended Artistic Conception? Talents are emerging one after another; during this Golden Era, it seems this world is about to become chaotic." The elder, who had appeared drowsy at first, watched Ren Pingsheng leave with barely audible words. A flash of brilliance appeared in his eyes before he fell silent again.
