Chapter 226 226: Every Era Has Its Geniuses

Dou 2.

Tang Ya was practically fuming.

She'd only tossed out a casual remark to give Sister Xiao Tao a bit of Face.

Who could've guessed…!

She herself would end up the cautionary tale?

These old bastards!

[Cat in the Shadows: You can't put it like that—Tang San has Blue Silver Emperor plus Clear Sky Hammer and the complete Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record; how could Tang Ya compare?]

[Cat in the Shadows: An ordinary Blue Silver Grass Spirit reaching level thirty at fifteen is already insane, especially since her Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record is incomplete and she still has to spend time learning Hidden Weapons.]

[Bo Saixi: Exactly—comparing Tang Ya to Tang San or a true Genius isn't fair. For her to reach her current spirit power must have taken extraordinary effort.]

[Ma Xiaotao: Right? Xiaoya's worked so hard already!]

Look.

Tears shimmered in Tang Ya's eyes.

The ancestors finally acted human for once.

Such a rare thing.

[Su Yan: Every era births its own geniuses, each dominating for centuries.]

[Su Yan: Some have Innate gifts, some bloom late, some cut corners, some mutate, some rely on cheats, some grind nonstop—and then there are fools who waste talent, born with twenty levels of Innate spirit power yet refuse to Cultivate.]

[I Am an Orphan: ???]

Spirit Hall.

Bibi Dong's expression froze, sorrow flashing in her eyes.

"Sigh—"

"All of this is my fault!"

Hu Liena was bewildered.

This was clearly public shaming of herself, yet her teacher seemed to be cracking.

[Tang Yuehua: ???]

[Liu Erlong: A friend of mine nearly cried at that last line—she can't even break level ten, and someone's wasting twenty Innate levels?]

[Bo Saixi: You mean Qian Daoliu? No—could it be Bibi Dong's daughter Qian Renxue?]

[Yanzi is not a Swallow: Huh?]

[Nine Treasures Little Princess: Twenty Innate levels—she won the race at birth!]

[Red Dust Meng Meng Meng: ???]

[Group Member Number Nine: Su Yan, every category you listed has a real example, right?]

[Su Yan: Yep—Whale Glue, Mysterious Water Pills, Soul Rise Pills, etc. Ask Ma Xiaotao or Dream Dream when you're free; I'll skip the details here.]

[Su Yan: Ma Xiaotao truly is a prodigy—and that's before purging her evil fire. If she'd used an Immortal Herb early on, her cultivation might have surpassed Tang San or Ma Hongjun.]

[Su Yan: Blame Tang San for holding back and not leaving the complete Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record, and also your trashy Phoenix ancestor for not giving you a detailed fix.]

[Su Yan: Wang Dong is the late-blooming type—you'll see. Tang Ya mutated; you all know that. Dream Dream, you're the corner-cutter.]

[Su Yan: Overdosing drains potential. Split focus between spirit power and spirit tools means, in the original timeline, you and your brother would never reach Titled Douluo.]

[Red Dust Meng Meng Meng: Huh?]

Dou 2.

Sun Moon Empire Spirit-Master Academy.

Meng Hongchen's Face darkened instantly.

She was a corner-cutter?

Overdosed on pills?

What…?

[Dark Avenger: Trash!]

[Red Dust Meng Meng Meng: Shut up—even trash me is stronger than your garbage Blue Silver Grass!]

[Ma Xiaotao: Actually, Xiaoya's grass beats yours—it's Dark Blue Silver Grass.]

[Tang Yuehua: The "full-cheat" one is the child of destiny, Huo Yuhao, right?]

[Su Yan: Correct.]

[Loves Eating Carrots: So who's the diligent grinder—me?]

[Hu Liena: Little bunny, spare us. Didn't Su Yan just say it's me who works hard?]

Inside the carriage.

Xiao Wu and the others looked at Su Yan for answers.

Su Yan gently held Zhu Zhuqing's hand and smiled. "The grinder is Zhuqing."

"As for you, little bunny—pat your conscience and ask when you ever trained instead of snacking and playing."

Xiao Wu pouted. I'll snack even harder from now on.

Zhu Zhuqing blinked, stunned.

"Me?"

[Su Yan: In the original timeline Zhuqing hit Titled Douluo at twenty-four. Innate level seven, youngest and "weakest" of the Shrek Seven Devils, yet the hardest worker.]

[Everyone: ???]

[Big Cat in the Shadow: My little cat was that fierce?]

[Group Member Number Nine: Big Cat's mind is blown.]

[I Am an Orphan: 666.]

Dou 2.

Shrek Academy.

Ma Xiaotao was floored.

Seriously?

Ancestor Zhuqing was that ferocious?

She really had been the youngest and "weakest" of the original seven—looks like pure grit carried her.

[Cat in the Shadows: I can hardly believe I was that awesome.]

[Su Yan: Let's move on—time to roast Qian Renxue: divine angel Spirit, twenty Innate levels, yet only Spirit Saint at thirty.]

[Everyone: ???]

The entire chat froze.

[Liu Erlong: Old Woman, what the hell?]

[Bo Saixi: Bibi Dong, Bibi Dong—what am I supposed to say?]

[Nine Treasures Little Princess: Did Qian Renxue just lie flat?]

[Loves Eating Carrots: Was she locked in a secret room by the Old Woman?]

[Call Me Her Majesty the Empress: 666.]

Supreme Pontiff Palace.

Bibi Dong could only sigh again.

Hu Liena hesitated. "Teacher, with such talent, how could Xiao Xue… did she refuse to train?"

Bibi Dong sighed. "It's all my fault!"

"I owe her too much—I don't know how to make it up in this lifetime."

Crown Prince's Mansion.

Qian Renxue was speechless.

Su Yan, you bastard!

Sigh.

Her talent really had been wasted—daily disguise as Xue Qinghe, pouring energy into Heaven Dou Empire affairs, her spirit power barely moved.

[Su Yan: Think that's the end of it?]

[Su Yan: This fool owns a full set of nine 99,999-year angel Spirit Bones—do the math on the boost that gives!]

[Everyone: ???]

[Bibi Dong: I was wrong—truly wrong. Su Yan, do you still have Immortal Herbs or Cultivation Techniques? I'll pay any price.]

Crown Prince's Mansion.

Qian Renxue's expression grew complicated.

Bibi Dong, you jerk… trying to make it up to me now?

Damn it!

Where were you earlier?

Private message incoming…

[I Am an Orphan: Say that again?]

[Su Yan: Little Angel's the smartest.]

Inside the carriage.

Su Yan nearly burst out laughing.

Ning Rongrong's group was floored—

with those perks she only reached Spirit Saint at thirty?

Qian Renxue really did lie flat.

[Liu Erlong: Old Woman, Old Woman—I'm speechless. Yu Xiaogang that bastard truly deserves to die!]

[Winter Cutie: A true Genius—twenty Innate levels—could absorb a thousand-year spirit ring right off the bat, fast start, endless lead.]

[Dark Avenger: More than that—a full set of 99,999-year bones. Anyone alive in her era would be crushed into despair.]

[Nine Treasures Little Princess: So where exactly is Qian Renxue? Why have we never heard of her?]

[Ma Xiaotao: Uh…]

[Dark Avenger: Huh?]

[Red Dust Meng Meng Meng: This…?]
