I picked up the scattered attributes

"I... I am..."

Grand Tutor Shang's body trembled violently.

After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly jolted awake and let out a long sigh.

Even though his physical condition has been restored to its youthful state under the effect of the Wind and Summer Creation Profound Art, he still looks decades older!

It was not his physical body that aged, but his soul.

Prior to this, although Grand Tutor Shang was already old, he still refused to admit his age and had his own way of governing the country, intending to pacify the world and educate the people.

His ambitions were admirable, but unfortunately, he hadn't kept up with the times.

Now, when facing Feng Xia, his values ​​are shattered time and time again, thrown to the ground, and trampled and ravaged. Each time they are broken and reassembled, it is undoubtedly a shock to his soul!

In the end, that invisible psychological defense was completely torn apart!

Grand Tutor Shang now has a misconception:

Even though his body was full of life, he was still old. The whole world was turning and moving forward, but he remained in the same place, watching everything go away, leaving only a desolate and lonely place.

"I... am getting old..."

He stumbled backward, his eyes clouded, and after what seemed like an eternity, he looked at Mo Lian Que in a hoarse voice, cupped his hands, and said, "Your Majesty, this old minister has served three reigns, and now I feel increasingly old. I humbly request Your Majesty's permission to retire and return to my hometown..."

"Grand Tutor Shang, catch!"

Unexpectedly, His Majesty the Emperor suddenly burst into laughter.

next moment.

Grand Tutor Shang immediately felt a gust of wind blowing in his face, and a huge shadow came into view. This made him subconsciously raise his arm and forcefully block it forward!

Click!

Rumbling--

He smashed a huge artificial mountain into pieces!

"This……"

Grand Tutor Shang froze on the spot: "This was made by me? No, my cultivation level is—"

Although he originally possessed cultivation, his talent for cultivation was not high, and he was also old. Even with the revival of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, he could only open one more divine wheel.

shhhhh--

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Grand Tutor Shang's expression suddenly changed.

He let out a low roar uncontrollably, and a powerful aura burst forth. Immediately afterwards, one divine wheel after another appeared behind his head, a total of eight!

"Eighth level of the Opening Wheel Realm? No, that can't be!"

Crackling!

Grand Tutor Shang's already tattered upper garment was completely reduced to dust in a storm of magical power. Almost instinctively, he threw a punch forward.

boom--

The artificial mountain, which was already in pieces, was instantly shattered into dust after Master Shang's fist swept through!

"This...this was made by an old man?"

Amidst the smoke and dust, Grand Tutor Shang stood frozen in place.

Suddenly, he realized: "This is supernatural power! This is the power of supernatural power? Yes, only the power of supernatural power can possess such terrifying destructive force! I have already reached the supernatural power realm!"

The change was so drastic that he was somewhat bewildered: "But I have never learned any supernatural powers!"

Although Grand Tutor Shang was physically quite good in his youth, he had very poor talent for cultivation. In addition, he was so focused on studying the classics that he missed the best time for cultivation.

Even though Mo Lianque later bestowed upon him several powerful medicines, he was only at the fifth level of the Opening Wheel Realm.

After the revival of the world's primordial energy, he advanced to the sixth level of the Opening Wheel Realm.

But that's all.

He had never learned any supernatural powers, only a few self-defense techniques he learned when he was young, some of which he could still recall. But as he got older and his body became inconvenient, he basically forgot them all.

Just a moment ago, as if possessed, he threw a punch that completely shattered a rockery.

"No matter how you look at it, that's the power of supernatural abilities... But what kind of supernatural ability is it? I've never learned anything like it before..."

Grand Tutor Shang looked at his fist with a face full of amazement.

I can actually control this power?

In the past, this would have been something we wouldn't have dared to even think about!

"That is indeed a supernatural power, but it is not a supernatural power that you learned, but a supernatural power that you accidentally comprehended after breaking through your cultivation level."

Feng Xia walked over from the side, a leisurely smile mixed with a hint of surprise: "I originally thought you could reach the sixth or seventh level of the Divine Power Realm this time, but I didn't expect you to only reach the first level... It seems that Grand Tutor's talent is even worse than I thought."

Grand Tutor Shang, who had just been somewhat smug, blushed deeply upon hearing this: "I...I am a scholar! How can a scholar's affairs..."

"Although this fist technique is quite crude, it was ultimately something you figured out on your own."

Feng Xia pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "In that case, let's call it Master Fist."

Grand Tutor Shang was taken aback: "Why is it called Master Fist and not Grand Tutor Fist?"

"Master Fist is the initial form of Grand Master Fist. Once you perfect this technique, it will become the true Grand Master Fist. And if one day you are able to comprehend an even more profound fist technique, I have already thought of a name for you."

Feng Xia's lips curled up slightly: "How about we call it Mu Shi Quan?"

Grand Tutor Shang: "???"

After a moment, he finally let out a bitter laugh: "I am getting old after all. I didn't know that there are people more powerful than me and that there is always something beyond my understanding. In my eyes, the strongest person was only at the Yuan Dan realm, and their destructive power could only reach a radius of a thousand feet."

He gave Feng Xia a deep look, then shook his head solemnly: "Now it seems that it was my limited vision that ultimately bound me. This world is no longer what it used to be, Your Majesty. My previous words still stand, but it is not about retiring to my hometown. Rather, I want to put aside this position of Grand Tutor and go out into the world to see what it's like!"

This problem is finally solved!

Only now did Mo Lianque finally let out a long sigh of relief.

Even Grand Tutor Shang, the leader of the civil service group, has backed down. Even if the remaining fellows don't submit, they will inevitably become much more restrained in the future.

In this way, there will be far fewer unpleasant things to do.

"In that case..."

His Majesty the Emperor had only uttered four words when Feng Xia, standing to the side, suddenly said, "No."

"Why...why do you say that?"

Grand Tutor Shang's enthusiasm was almost completely extinguished on the spot.

He turned around and stared at Feng Xia in disbelief, while Mo Lian Que also cast an inquiring glance his way.

Feng Xia sized up Grand Tutor Shang for a while, then said speechlessly, "Grand Tutor Shang, with your current cultivation level, you're probably not even as good as a bandit. At most, you're equivalent to a newly initiated disciple of our sect."

"Feng even suspects that the Grand Tutor may have been eaten by wild beasts in the mountains before he had gone far from Fujing."

"Before you go out for a walk, I suggest that you visit the school, and perhaps you can start learning the basics of cultivation there."

……

Chapter 0613

Feng Xia spoke the truth, and Grand Tutor Shang blushed once again.

Mo Lianque slapped his forehead, inwardly exclaiming how close he had come to disaster.

He only wanted to change the old minister's mindset, not to really kill him. Otherwise, given the difference in cultivation between him and Grand Tutor Shang, a single slap would have turned all his troubles into nothingness!

Seeing that Grand Tutor Shang had made a breakthrough in his cultivation and even comprehended a supernatural power, Mo Lianque was naturally overjoyed.

Furthermore, the anomaly in the heavens and earth was still recent, which is why His Majesty the Emperor temporarily forgot about it...

The world has changed!

In the past, a master at the Divine Power Realm could be considered a powerful expert wherever they went. Even in remote and dangerous places, as long as they were careful, they would be able to protect themselves without any worries.

But in today's world, how can someone with the cultivation level of the Divine Power Realm be considered a master?

Even a palace maid in the imperial palace might have the cultivation level of a supernatural power!

Feng Xia was right. If no other expert was sent to protect him, Grand Tutor Shang might have been devoured alive by wild beasts in the forest as soon as he left Fujing City.

After all, nourished by the vast primordial energy, many wild beasts have also gained the strength of the Divine Power Realm!

"Old old man... old man..."

Grand Tutor Shang was speechless, his chest heaving violently. After a long while, he slowly calmed his breathing and cautiously asked, "Is my strength... really that bad?"

Feng Xia nodded without hesitation: "For specific details, Grand Tutor can go to our sect and take a look, conduct an on-site investigation, and perhaps then he can truly understand."

"However... the Grand Tutor's strength is truly lacking."

Grand Tutor Shang immediately hung his head in dejection, looking like a wilted eggplant.

Fortunately, he had seen all sorts of storms and waves, and even after such a heavy blow, he still rallied his spirits: "Now that I have made a decision, I will naturally not go back on my word. Reading ten thousand books and traveling ten thousand miles is the style that we should have!"

"I humbly request Your Majesty's permission for this old man to travel to Thousand Autumns Valley for further study!"

At this point, Grand Tutor Shang bowed deeply to Mo Lianque once again.
