"His physique... could it not be ordinary? Is it a Great Spirit Level physique? Or perhaps a Great Venerable? Maybe even a Great Saint Level?" Gang Feng asked in surprise, slightly startled.
One must know that physiques were vastly different from ten thousand years ago, now divided into Great Spirit, Great King, Great Ancestral, Great Venerable, Great Saint, and Great Emperor Levels. The most terrifying among them was the Great Emperor Level physique.
But such a physique seemed to exist only in legends. Publicly, no one possessed one so fearsome. The so-called Great Emperor Level physique meant one’s ancestor had been an Immortal Emperor, and this generation had undergone Reversion. This meant they were born with a physique already at the Great Emperor Level, but the probability was exceedingly low.
"Is that person Wu Tian?" The monk Wu Chen, his face a mask of kindness and compassion, examined Wu Tian in the pool and smiled. "Amitabha. In my opinion, he’s merely putting on a brave face, pretending to be at ease."
Gang Feng nodded. He knew why Wu Chen thought this way. They were both monks from the Great Bright Temple, dispatched to various places to uphold compassion throughout the world. In other words, their mission was to ensure global peace so that the common people would not suffer. This was their responsibility. By the time they had arrived, the Jin Jian Country had already been annihilated. They were now helping the Heavenly King Country in the hopes of preventing another great slaughter, which meant they had to protect it and stop another war from breaking out.
And what about Wu Chen? He had always considered himself extraordinarily talented. His own physique was the Great Spirit Dragon Chant, and he had been the only one who could remain in the pool for an hour with energy to spare. Therefore, seeing Wu Tian’s apparent ease irked him.
Of course, back then, the pool did not contain any Mind-Bewildering Powder. This powder was not native to this Earth Realm; Gang Feng and Wu Chen had brought it with them from the Great Bright Temple.
After a moment of thought, Gang Feng asked, "So, what do you think? How much longer can he hold on?"
"Heh, he’s only pretending. How could his body possibly withstand an hour of Spiritual Energy infusion?" Wu Chen shook his head and chuckled. "He barely managed that first hour. If he can keep up this act for another hour, I’ll call him Dad."
The monks of the Great Bright Temple didn’t concern themselves with superficial verbal piety. Using Buddhist terms was optional; performing compassionate deeds was what mattered. Therefore, Gang Feng was not at all fazed by Wu Chen’s way of speaking, as he was much the same. He simply nodded in agreement and said, "That’s what I was thinking."
Looking at Wu Tian, who was still in the pool with a calm and relaxed expression, Gang Feng shook his head, slightly amused.
Having been through this himself, Gang Feng understood Wu Tian’s mentality. All young people want to stand out and be the best. But reality has a way of teaching youngsters that putting on an act isn’t so simple.
At this moment, the others began to climb out of the pool one by one, unable to take it anymore. They all noticed there was still one person remaining inside. His relaxed face was a stark contrast to their own pale complexions, a sight they found difficult to accept.
"He’s definitely just showing off."
"Right, he’s pretending to be at ease to make us think he’s stronger than all of us."
"I bet if he doesn’t get out in another hour, he’ll die in there."
"I say if he doesn’t get out in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, he’ll be dead."
Mocking voices began to rise from the group of meritorious, talented, and well-descended individuals.
"Shut up," the little tyke snapped, not liking how they were talking about her dad.
"Scoundrels!" The little tyke grew angry and charged at the group. The men exchanged amused glances. It’s just a child, what’s the big deal? This kid needs to be taught a lesson. With that thought, they engaged her in battle.
Mr. Gu Long? Who’s that? They weren’t in the mood to wonder.
Si’er watched the little tyke with envy. She’s seven or eight, while I’m only four. If we were to fight, I really wouldn’t be a match for her. It seems I shouldn’t fight with her in the future. She made up her mind, her gaze returning to Wu Tian in the pool. I wonder if Brother Sect Leader will be alright! Does he have a special physique? She began to worry.
Meanwhile, the men beneath the little tyke’s feet felt a surge of indignation. What did we even say wrong? Why do we deserve to be stepped on? That Wu Tian is obviously just putting on a brave face. If he doesn’t get out of the pool soon, he’ll probably die in there. The Spiritual Energy in the pool is overwhelming enough to crush an entire army!
