Chapter 888: Chapter 888: You Can’t Imagine Your Own Genius
Ji Fenglie’s golden bell should be the same; otherwise, how could he, with his own strength, oppose the entire Ji Family?
However, the few strikes he made just now should be his true strength, which is already quite extraordinary.
"These golden lightning bolts are a very high-level energy, and the place the bell connects to must have even more golden lightning. If I could enter it and use Creation World to refine and absorb the lightning inside, could I continue to level up?" Chen Guan thought to himself.
Unfortunately, that golden bell is Ji Fenglie’s Celestial Destiny Secret Treasure. If it were an ordinary Secret Treasure, killing Ji Fenglie would be enough to take it.
But a Celestial Destiny Secret Treasure is one with its owner. If Ji Fenglie were to die, the treasure would be hard to retain.
"Even if I use the power of Creation World or the Almighty God to kill him, I could only refine the lightning it summons. These lightning bolts are indeed powerful, but wanting them to help me level up is far from enough. I need to pass through the golden bell to get inside."
"But since that golden bell is Ji Fenglie’s Celestial Destiny Secret Treasure, how could it obey my command, obediently open the gate to let me in, and then let me out again?" Chen Guan’s mind flashed with many thoughts, and suddenly he had an idea.
"Liuying, do you want to defeat Ji Fenglie?" Chen Guan asked, looking at Ji Liuying.
She is a seed nurtured by the Ji Family. Though already a Ninth Awakening powerhouse, such a dangerous moment is not her time to act.
"Of course, I want to, but I know my cultivation and abilities are far inferior to his." Ji Liuying said helplessly.
She is indeed very strong now, already surpassing many Ninth Awakening powerhouses in the Ji Family.
But because of a lack of accumulation, it is very disadvantageous, just like Chen Guan against Chief Judge before.
For top-tier powerhouses like Ji Fenglie, they hardly give anyone the chance to engage them in close combat.
Their various abilities and hidden cards are numerous, and ordinary people don’t have the opportunity to fight desperately against them.
Of course, this refers to Ji Fenglie at his peak. Now his realm is higher than before, and his abilities are stronger too.
But compared to before, he actually has fewer cards left in his hand.
Being hunted, many pets and Secret Treasures have been lost or damaged, leaving very few.
Additionally, he was secretly captured into the dungeon by Chief Judge, and the remaining good things were almost all plundered. Being trapped in the dungeon for years, he hasn’t received any replenishment.
Now, he doesn’t have many cards left, but the remaining ones are more powerful than before, like this Boundless Calamity Bell, which is much stronger than before.
Ji Liuying doesn’t know about these circumstances, but even just this Boundless Calamity Bell is already beyond her capability to handle.
"You’re both Ninth Awakening, yet you belittle yourself. How can you take on the heavy responsibility of illuminating the Ji Family in the future, and how can you ensure the Ji Family’s survival in these chaotic times?" Chen Guan said sternly to Ji Liuying.
Upon hearing this, Ji Liuying broke into a cold sweat, thinking to herself: "Luckily Master is here to guide me; otherwise, I’d really be making a huge mistake. No matter how strong Ji Fenglie is, he’s at the same level as I am, Level 90. If I don’t even have the courage to fight him, wouldn’t that be wasting Master’s teachings and the Liquid Elemental Energy he gave me?"
"Master, I realize my error. I’ll go and fight Ji Fenglie now." Ji Liuying said, preparing to head into battle.
"Fight you must, but you can’t blindly fight. Regarding accumulation and ability, you indeed lack considerably compared to Ji Fenglie at present." Chen Guan, however, stopped her again.
Ji Liuying looked at Chen Guan, somewhat puzzled, not understanding what he meant, feeling quite confused.
Just now, Chen Guan told her not to belittle herself, and now he says she’s inferior to Ji Fenglie, leaving Ji Liuying momentarily perplexed.
She was starting to doubt whether it was her understanding ability that was faulty, never questioning if Chen Guan was wrong.
Chen Guan knew that Ji Liuying is not yet a match for Ji Fenglie. Although they are both Level 90, their accumulation and realm are not the same.
Ji Liuying is too young and needs time to accumulate to battle a truly top-tier powerhouse.
But Chen Guan can’t wait that long. He wants to directly trigger Ji Liuying’s potential, allowing her to contend with such veteran top-tier powerhouses now, or even directly defeat Ji Fenglie.
"Your talent is not inferior to Ji Fenglie’s, or perhaps even far superior, but you are too young, your accumulation is insufficient, and so is your realm. That’s why I say you lack compared to Ji Fenglie — what you lack is not inherent ability but the depth of time." Chen Guan explained righteously.
Ji Liuying suddenly realized and nodded, feeling that Chen Guan made a lot of sense, even forgetting that this was her previous thought and why she chose not to fight.
"However, fortunately, you have an advantage Ji Fenglie doesn’t." Chen Guan continued.
"What advantage?" Ji Liuying asked.
"Your advantage is me. Ji Fenglie has no one to guide him, but you do." Chen Guan looked skyward at Ji Fenglie at a forty-five-degree angle and said calmly.
"Master, do you have a way to help me win?" Ji Liuying was overjoyed at the news, without doubting whether Chen Guan had such an ability.
"I can’t help you; you have to rely on yourself. But with your talent and ability, once you unleash your potential, defeating Ji Fenglie won’t be difficult at all."
Chen Guan smiled and said, "What he surpasses you in is merely sufficient accumulation and a higher realm. Accumulation requires the buildup of time and resources, which I can’t help with."
"But realm is different. With your talent, just a little effort can surpass the insights Ji Fenglie has garnered in centuries of cultivation."
"If accumulation is lacking, make up for it with realm. You just need to elevate your realm to far surpass Ji Fenglie, and you’ll naturally be able to defeat him easily."
"Can I really..." Ji Liuying listened, feeling her blood boil, yet she couldn’t believe it—could she really be that talented?
Chen Guan smiled lovingly: "Liuying, you are such a genius that even you might not realize it. What you lack is not talent but confidence. You just need to believe in yourself, and you can achieve anything you desire."
"To you, Ji Fenglie is like the stars and the bright moon; starlight cannot compete with the moon’s radiance. Believe in yourself, and if you wish, you can definitely defeat him, and do so effortlessly." Chen Guan said, as if it were only natural.
Ji Liuying listened as her eyes sparkled, her brows relaxed, and all the pores on her body seemed to open up as if she had eaten a life fruit, feeling indescribably refreshed.
"So, I am that talented... that’s right... I must be that talented... Otherwise, why would Master choose to impart the Celestial King’s Secret Technique to me..." Ji Liuying’s gaze grew firmer, and her eyes became brighter and clearer than before.
