Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate - Chapter 142

Chapter 142: A Calculated Cultivation Chat Chapter 142: A Calculated Cultivation Chat Jiang Chen couldn’t help but hide a small smile of satisfaction as the system notifications echoed in his mind.

He thought with relief, ‘Finally, my persuasive efforts have paid off.’ At that moment, Xie Xiaojing’s eyes lit up, and she clapped her hands together, exclaiming, “Oh right!

Fang Yuan also signed up to compete for the title of Holy Son, and Senior Brother Jiang Chen even predicted he would do well.” “If anyone else had made that prediction, I might have ignored it,” she added confidently, “But coming from Senior Brother Jiang Chen, I have every reason to believe it!” Her face beamed with admiration.

“Really?

Fang Yuan is competing for the title of Holy Son?” Ji Ruxue asked in disbelief, visibly surprised, before continuing skeptically, “But I heard his cultivation base has dropped to the Spiritual Awakening realm by now.

Surely he couldn’t make a significant recovery within two months, could he?” Turning to Jiang Chen, she asked curiously, “I’m not sure if you know, but competitors aren’t allowed to use their artifacts here.

So, why do you think Fang Yuan will perform well?” Instead of giving a direct answer, Jiang Chen simply smiled and posed a question, “Does the Holy Maiden think he would do something that would disgrace himself?” Upon hearing this, Ji Ruxue was left speechless, her brow furrowed as she considered Jiang Chen’s reasoning.

After a moment, she agreed-indeed, Fang Yuan was not one to willingly humiliate himself.

Nevertheless, she struggled to believe that Fang Yuan could improve so dramatically in just two months to outperform most of the other contestants.

“Can he really do it?” Ji Ruxue couldn’t help but express her doubts aloud.

“Absolutely, he can,” Jiang Chen replied with a firm nod, speaking confidently.

“There’s a saying that nothing is impossible, and Fang Yuan’s various displays so far are more than enough proof of that.” “It seems you have high expectations for him,” Ji Ruxue noted softly, offering a subtle smile.

“Then, I’ll watch eagerly to see if your predictions come true.” “Certainly!” Jiang Chen responded with a light chuckle.

Ji Ruxue’s willingness to observe the unfolding events based on his assertions brought him great comfort.

Now, Ji Ruxue was mentally prepared for Fang Yuan’s potentially impressive performance, so she wouldn’t be overly surprised if it happened.

Additionally, Jiang Chen was more prominent in her view than Fang Yuan, capturing much of her attention.

Should Fang Yuan achieve impressive results, it would further enhance Jiang Chen’s reputation in Ji Ruxue’s eyes.

Nevertheless, Jiang Chen wasn’t satisfied with just this.

The two-month period had only just begun!

Next, he planned carefully, ‘My main focus should be on preventing any interactions between Ji Ruxue and Fang Yuan.’ To do this effectively, he knew the best strategy was to keep her close to him.

‘But how?’ Jiang Chen wondered silently.

Then, a faint spark lit up in his eyes.

Right after, the discussion about the grand sect assembly wrapped up, and Jiang Chen smoothly transitioned the conversation to cultivation.

For cultivators, improving their skills is always the top priority.

Often, it also becomes their main topic of discussion, making the transition a natural one.

Promptly, Jiang Chen began sharing insights about cultivation methods with Ji Ruxue and Xie Xiaojing.

He was in his element!

Although Jiang Chen hadn’t mastered the advanced martial techniques and secret arts of the Purple Heaven Holy Land, he was knowledgeable about the Void Rainbow Sword Technique, a respected method worthy of discussion.

Ji Ruxue and Xie Xiaojing, both Early-stage practitioners of the Heavenly Origin realm, had also trained in the Void Rainbow Sword Technique but hadn’t reached the Perfect-level mastery.

As a result, after some discussion, both Ji Ruxue and Xie Xiaojing gained significant insights from Jiang Chen, learning about various aspects of the Void Rainbow Sword Technique.

The two beauties were amazed by Jiang Chen’s exceptional talent for enlightenment.

And this was just one part of Jiang Chen’s strategy.

His next move was already in the works.

Jiang Chen planned to bring up the Purple Heaven Dark Star Heavenly Scripture next.

But this time, instead of showcasing his knowledge, he intended to humbly seek their advice.

However, before he could begin and execute his plan, an eager Xie Xiaojing suddenly declared, “Senior Brother Jiang Chen, now it’s our turn to help you.

We can’t be the only ones benefiting here.” Then she turned to Ji Ruxue beside her and added righteously, “Don’t you think so, Sister Ruxue?” “Mm-hmm,” Ji Ruxue nodded immediately in agreement.

Motivated by the valuable insights Jiang Chen had shared about the Void Rainbow Sword Technique, she was eager to reciprocate.

She then offered warmly, “I’m sure my father passed on the core cultivation methods of our Purple Heaven Holy Land to you.

If you have any questions about them, feel free to ask.” ‘What great friends!’ Jiang Chen thought appreciatively.

He couldn’t deny that it felt wonderful to have things work out in his favor without any effort sometimes.

While these thoughts occupied his mind, Jiang Chen showed a grateful smile and replied graciously, “In that case, I’ll gladly take you up on your offer.” Sticking to his original plan, he then brought up the Purple Heaven Dark Star Heavenly Scripture as the topic of his inquiry.

Jiang Chen’s questions were impressively astute.

They struck the perfect balance-neither too simple nor too complex.

If his questions were too simple, it might imply a lack of understanding on his part.

Conversely, if they were too complex, Ji Ruxue and Xie Xiaojing might struggle to answer, which could disrupt the natural flow of their conversation.

Subsequently, Jiang Chen would ask a question, and either Ji Ruxue or Xie Xiaojing would respond.

After each answer, Jiang Chen would express his gratitude or give a modest compliment, then quickly move on to the next question.

The atmosphere gradually became more friendly.

During their exchange, Jiang Chen occasionally introduced innovative ideas, sparking new insights from Ji Ruxue and Xie Xiaojing.

This approach kept their conversation flowing smoothly, with each interaction deepening their mutual respect and adding appreciation to their discussion.

As time gradually passed, Jiang Chen began to intentionally slow down the conversation, his divine sense periodically scanning the area beyond Ji Ruxue’s living quarters.

He was waiting for Ji Mingxiu to witness this gathering.

However, as Ji Mingxiu was taking longer than expected to appear, Jiang Chen started to feel anxious.

‘Why hasn’t he shown up yet?

Asking too many questions might start to look foolish and could damage my image,’ he thought nervously.

Despite this, he knew the conversation had to continue.

Somewhat reluctantly, Jiang Chen started to subtly raise the complexity of his questions.

However, he mixed in his own partially-formed understanding, carefully balancing depth with accessibility.

This strategy not only softened the difficulty of the questions but also gave the two young women more time to think about their answers.

Meanwhile, Ji Ruxue and Xie Xiaojing were amazed that Jiang Chen, who had only recently acquired the Purple Heaven Dark Star Heavenly Scripture just a day before, could pose questions that even they found challenging.

They were even more impressed by his remarkable talent for enlightenment.

Finding themselves unable to fully grasp Jiang Chen’s genius, the infatuated Xie Xiaojing’s admiration grew even more.

On the other hand, Ji Ruxue, Jiang Chen’s actual focus this time, developed an even deeper perception of him.
