"We are what the world calls geniuses," some things we take for granted, the mediocre people would consider 'impossible' based on their so-called 'common sense,' thinking such tasks absolutely beyond their reach.

"But I understand you... I too have come this far amid the many voices that cried 'impossible.' We are the same kind."

Xue Jing nodded, "I see."

"So, what do you want from me?"

Li Suisui said, "You should be aware... but let's not rush things; we can chat first."

He pointed a finger to the ground, without any preparatory action; suddenly, an invisible Qi Force sprang from his fingertip, severing back and forth upon the metallic earth.

A rectangular metal chair similar to Xue Jing's was carved out.

Li Suisui sat down on it.

Perhaps due to some childish whims, his metal chair was much higher than Xue Jing's, so when he sat down, he was level with Xue Jing's gaze... the downside being that his feet couldn't touch the ground.

Despite his mature words and demeanor, some childishness was inevitably revealed, which made Xue Jing crack a slight smile.

"The base style of martial arts that you cultivate should be derived from the 'True Form lineage' of Ancient Martial, called the Hidden Dragon School, right?" Li Suisui opened the conversation as though lecturing while sitting.

"Hmm? What is this True Form lineage?" asked Xue Jing, puzzled.

It seemed he had heard this term before... when he went to capture Zhao Longtu, he had overheard a passerby mention it in the Extreme Martial Ascension Palace.

"..." Li Suisui was somewhat surprised.

"It seems you really don't know anything. Not bad for someone from the Outer Ring; to think you could have come this far in such a short time."

Li Suisui scratched his own youthful, smooth cheek.

"The so-called 'True Form' is one of the oldest martial arts, also known as 'Martial Vein.'

"Almost all existing Martial Arts are derived from these 'oldest Martial Veins,' just like your Hidden Dragon School, which originated from the 'True Form lineage.'

"It's the foundation of all martial arts that strengthen the body by imitating things beyond humanity, the ancestor of all Shape Imitation techniques."

"It sounds rather impressive. Is the 'True Form' technique considered to be of a high rank?" Xue Jing asked curiously.

Li Suisui gave him an odd glance, "Do you think this is a fantasy novel? How could there be such a thing as 'the older, the stronger'?"

"True Form is the most ancient Martial Vein, the most primitive martial arts, so crude that even dogs would shake their heads at it. It's vastly different from any modern martial arts; its only redeeming quality is its lofty aspiration to achieve the essence of all things in the world with the human form."

"I see," said Xue Jing, somewhat disappointed.

"Martial Artists who practice the True Form lineage are not very popular these days. Humans, being the most intelligent creatures, should not neglect their own capabilities in favor of external things. This very concept is looked down upon and thus not acknowledged by true Martial Arts masters."

"However... there is one exception, and that is the current 'True Dragon,' Wan Yulai of the Yanlong Liu."

Li Suisui mentioned a name that piqued Xue Jing's interest.

"This person is formidable... The True Form lineage has reached a new pinnacle under his hands. He is someone who has truly penetrated the mysteries of 'True Form,' almost becoming a dragon in human form."

"If you could receive his guidance, with your talent, your progression would likely be unimaginable... though that's probably improbable."

Having reviewed Xue Jing's profile, he knew of the enmity between the Hidden Dragon School and Wan Yulai.

Xue Jing just smiled, saying nothing.

Afterwards, Li Suisui continued to discuss things related to martial arts with Xue Jing, imparting lots of knowledge that Xue Jing had never known, which opened his eyes to many things.

Twenty or so minutes later, Li Suisui stopped talking and sighed, looking at Xue Jing who still seemed quite at ease, seemingly ready to have a long chat.

"...You seem pretty relaxed, as if you really have no time constraints."@@novelbin@@

Li Suisui had deduced all the events that had just occurred when he arrived here. He noticed the abnormality in Xue Jing's hair and pupils and faintly heard the sound of blood boiling and burning within Xue Jing's body.

He immediately deduced that Xue Jing must be using some kind of burst-type martial arts or a God-Given Secret Art to possess such terrifying strength.

Such martial techniques or secret arts typically have time constraints or would place an enormous burden on the body. If he could just drag out the time, it would obviously be to his advantage.

Thus, Li Suisui began to use the chat tactic...but unexpectedly, Xue Jing took to it with relish, engaging in the conversation with him.

Even now, in his perception, there was almost no change in the sound of Xue Jing's blood pumping. His appearance showed no signs of being unable to bear the burden or weakness. Even his emotional Consciousness fluctuations did not reveal the slightest hint of anxiety—it was clear he was confident and unafraid.

Li Suisui also realized that either Xue Jing could maintain this state of increased power for a considerably long time or even without this state, he still had other things to rely on.

Continuing to drag this out was meaningless.

"How come you're not talking anymore? Little Sui," Xue Jing said with a smile.

Li Suisui's mouth twitched, "Don't use such familiar terms, we're not that close."

Xue Jing waved his hand, giving a sigh, "We were having such a good chat, just short of sitting down for a meal together, what's the difference... that's right, later I'll be cooking for the students. You should come too, consider it compensation for all the things you've told me."

He was actually inviting him for a meal... Li Suisui almost couldn't keep his composure.

He stood up, taking a deep breath, "Enough with the pretense, I came to take you down, let's get started."

Xue Jing's eyes twinkled with amusement as he slowly stood up.

"You're quite an interesting guy... and about the meal, I meant it. If you're still alive later, come find me in B2 Area, I'll fix you something good."

Li Suisui frowned slightly, "Did you somehow bring food in here privately? How did you manage that?"

The exam regulations stated that each person was only allowed to bring in one portion of officially provided supplies which were extremely strictly searched. Resources could be said to be severely scarce, not to mention managing to ration out what little they had, yet he was planning to invite him for a meal...

Xue Jing wouldn't let anyone have the last word, just smiling, "You don't need to worry about that. I've always been lucky, maybe if I walk around later I'll find plenty of food."

Li Suisui gave him a deep look,

"I don't know if you're just broad-minded or purely looking down on me..."

"If it's the latter, you'll regret it."

The moment the words fell, Li Suisui disappeared from his original spot.

There was no gap to speak of, from complete stillness to explosive motion, Li Suisui's slender, somewhat youthful fist was already pressed against Xue Jing's abdomen.

This kind of movement from zero to one hundred was one of the hallmarks of a Limit-Breaking Grandmaster!
