Joy of Life: I am Li Chengze, and I have mastered the Eight Wonders

Chapter 61 Another Cut
Li Chengze shook his head slightly, with an indescribable sense of superiority on his face, and said leisurely:
“Indeed, the improvement of others’ cultivation is the result of hard work and perseverance.

As for me, I just let nature take its course and absorbed the great power contained in the Great Huan Dan, and then I naturally entered a new realm. How can such a situation be compared?"

There is a different kind of metaphor in his words:

“It is like the accumulation of wealth in the world, all of which is the result of hard work and a steady stream of water;

And I seem to have the key to an endless treasure. I only need to open it lightly and I can return with a full load. The speed is so fast that it is far different from heaven and earth."

Li Chengze continued his inner monologue:
"It has been nearly a month since I absorbed the power of the Dragon Essence, and my cultivation has leapt to the middle of the ninth rank, which is reasonable. According to my estimation, if I am given another month, it will not be difficult for me to reach the upper ninth rank.

In the next two or three months, climbing to the peak of the ninth level would not be an extravagant dream.

As for the Grandmaster realm, perhaps in half a year, I will be able to get a glimpse of it."

"Your Highness, your growth rate is truly astonishing!" Fan Xian exclaimed sincerely, completely ignoring Li Chengze's slightly self-deprecating tone.

However, in the face of Fan Xian's praise, Li Chengze just smiled calmly and pressed his hand lightly, pretending to be humble:
"It's just a small matter, not worth mentioning. In a month or so, maybe you can witness me stepping into the ninth rank."

Seeing this, Fan Xian felt somewhat helpless, but he couldn't help but smile. Then he changed the subject and said in a slightly mischievous tone:
"Since Your Highness has important matters to attend to, I will not bother you any more. Please do as you please."

After saying this, he seemed eager to end this "Versailles"-style dialogue and wanted to see the guest off.

"Busy? I don't think that chatting with you is the most important thing for me right now!"

Li Chengze seemed to have deliberately misinterpreted Fan Xian's meaning and responded sincerely with a cunning gleam in his eyes.

Fan Xian couldn't help but complain in his heart, this guy was clearly pretending to be confused and deliberately wanted to "show off" here!
"So, your highness's real business is to perform a series of self-boasting scenes in front of me?
Are you using your "Versailles literature" to show off your cultivation that will be elevated to the ninth rank within a month?"

Fan Xian finally couldn't hold back any longer, and his tone was filled with a hint of mockery and dissatisfaction.

"Oh, you misunderstood." Li Chengze shook his head gently, a smile on his face, and then changed the subject, "Actually, I've just started talking."

He deliberately prolonged his tone and continued, "Not only is it expected to reach the ninth rank in a month,

I believe that within two or three months, I might be able to reach the peak of the ninth rank."

"What else?" Li Chengze's eyes flashed with confidence and expectation.
“Perhaps, in another half year, the realm of Grandmaster will not be out of reach.”

As soon as these words came out, Fan Xian's expression instantly became complicated, and his disbelief was evident in his words.

"What did you say? Grandmaster?! Are you serious?"

His eyes widened, as if he had heard the most incredible thing in the world, and his perception of Li Chengze's "Versailles" level was once again refreshed.

"Second Prince, you...you mean, in just half a year, you might be able to become a Grandmaster?"

Fan Xian's voice trembled slightly. This was not just surprise, but more of a disbelief in Li Chengze's words.

He felt as if he was in an absurd dream and was completely shocked by Li Chengze's "big words".

That's a grandmaster.

Even among the many outstanding eighth-grade masters, few can reach the ninth-grade realm.

And among the nine grades, those who can break through to the level of Grand Master are even rarer.

However, Li Chengze seemed to have immense confidence in this, and his attitude was relaxed, as if breaking through to the Grand Master level was just a piece of cake for him.

Fan Xian had just been promoted to the ninth rank, so he was naturally feeling a little proud.

But faced with Li Chengze's attitude, his joy was immediately diluted a lot.

This feeling is like working hard and finally getting a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan. When you are feeling satisfied,
But he heard Li Chengze casually say that his income had reached 30,000, and that he would soon have a bigger increase, and that he might even become a senior executive of the company and enjoy dividends. Faced with such a situation, Fan Xian was naturally not in a good mood. He wanted to get rid of this emotion, but found that Li Chengze did not seem to intend to leave.

Helplessly, Fan Xian could only choose to ignore it and show an indifferent attitude.

Seeing Fan Xian like this, Li Chengze smiled slightly, as if he was satisfied with Fan Xian's reaction, and then turned and left.

Soon, Fan Ruoruo came in and asked curiously about the content of the conversation.

Fan Xian calmed down and prepared to tell Fan Ruoruo what had just happened. He took out the delicate scalpel and asked Fan Ruoruo to help suture the wound.

In an instant, a stream of blood suddenly gushed out, which was shocking!
"Brother, what are you doing?!"

Fan Ruoruo was originally happy because she saw that Fan Xian's chest wound seemed to have healed, but now she saw him attack her without hesitation, leaving a bloody mark, and she couldn't help but scream in horror.

"Don't ask now, hurry up, help me treat this wound first!"

Fan Xian clenched his teeth, beads of sweat covered his forehead, and was obviously in unbearable pain, but he still insisted on speaking to Fan Ruoruo.

When Fan Ruoruo heard this, although she had a thousand questions in her mind, she acted quickly, took out the suture tools, and concentrated on treating Fan Xian's wound.

Although his technique seemed unfamiliar, he gradually got better due to his anxiety and concentration.

After a busy period, the wound was finally properly sutured in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

"Brother, what happened to you just now? The wounds were clearly healed, why did you..." Fan Ruoruo said in confusion.

"Do you still remember that the Second Prince practiced the Shuangquan Hands?" Fan Xian did not directly respond to her doubts, but instead brought up another matter.

"Of course I remember, but didn't you say that I didn't practice hard enough?" Fan Ruoruo recalled.

“Actually, that’s not the case.

The Second Prince has cultivated the Shuangquan Hand to perfection and can bring back to life a person."

Fan Xian slowly told the truth, his tone heavy.

"Huh?" Fan Ruoruo couldn't help but let out a surprised sound when she heard that. But then she thought again, after all, she had used the Barrett to snipe Emperor Qing before, so by comparison, the crime of deceiving the emperor didn't seem so frightening.

However, she had never expected that since then, her brother Fan Xian and the Second Prince had joined forces to weave a plan to conceal the truth.

"The Second Prince came to visit me just now and used the magical horse spell to help me recover from my injuries. Not only did my Qi recover, but I also broke through to the ninth level in one fell swoop."

Fan Xian spoke slowly, with complex lights flashing in his eyes.
"However, my injuries are so severe that if I appear to be unscathed, it will inevitably arouse suspicion and expose the secret of Shuangquan Hand."

"Therefore, I decided to keep this injury as a cover-up."

Fan Xian continued, explaining everything clearly.

"So that's it!" Fan Ruoruo suddenly realized, and all the doubts in her heart were swept away.
"But, brother, you are so cruel to yourself for the sake of the overall situation, it's really..." Her words were full of heartache and admiration.

Fan Xian shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "It's okay. Although this wound looks scary, it is actually much shallower than before and will not hurt the root."

After leaving the ward, Li Chengze's thoughts turned to Li Yunrui's impending assassination attempt on Fan Xian.

Fan Xian's breakthrough means that the assassination plan is doomed to fail, but he believes that Fan Xian, for the sake of Lin Wan'er, may choose to be tolerant and give Li Yunrui a chance to reform, in order to show his sincerity for reconciliation.

Li Chengze thought to himself: If Li Yunrui can accept this forgiveness, everyone will be happy;
But if she refuses to repent and continues to act crazily, then in order to complete the task of resolving the conflict between the two, he will have no choice but to take action and end it all.

After all, in some cases, the disappearance of life is also a way for contradictions to end.
