I Might Be A Fake Cultivator - Chapter 681
Chapter 681: What Should We Teach?
“Phew…” Tina yawned with a hint of bleariness in her emerald eyes. “Giant An Lin, I’m exhausted from using my new jurisdictive power. Should we go back and rest for a bit?”
An Lin nodded before a thought occurred to him. “Your physical body has already arrived in this world, so why can’t you rest here?”
Tina’s blinked her emerald eyes before replying with a smile, “Giant An Lin, I am theoretically omnipotent and possess infinite power when I’m fused together with this world, but this state still requires my own body to maintain.
“In other words, my fundamental power source is still the me that exists on Tai Chu Continent. I am still drawing on this fundamental power source when I use my jurisdiction and other powers within this world, and the energy depleted from doing so can only be replenished when I go back to Tai Chu Continent.”
An Lin came to a sudden realization upon hearing this as another theory surfaced in his mind.
From what Tina was just saying, she was the God of this world, but her power was still limited by her physical body in Tai Chu Continent. Didn’t this mean that Tai Chu Continent was a higher-tier world than the Divine Mirror World?
He knew that worlds could rise and fall in tiers, so would it be possible that someday in the future, the Divine Mirror World would rival or even exceed the tier of Tai Chu Continent? If a time like that ever came, wouldn’t it mean that Tina would arrive at Tai Chu Continent as the God of Creation of a higher-tier world, thereby giving her more jurisdictive power over Tai Chu Continent?
An Lin couldn’t help but burst into laughter as this notion entered his mind, and he shook his head to rid himself of this train of thought.
A white light flashed, and Tina and An Lin returned to the city wall of Huang Quan City.
At the time of their return, the sun hung high in the sky.
An Lin asked Da Bai how long he had been away, only to discover that he had only been gone for three days.
He did a rough calculation to find that there were only five days left until the end of the end-of-term examinations.
An Lin placed Tina on Da Bai’s back and entrusted her to him before wandering along the city wall of Huang Quan City by himself.
All the students extended warm greetings to him upon seeing him.
It was quite evident that An Lin was someone worthy of welcome and reverence.
An Lin was overcome with emotion upon seeing this. He had started from the very bottom and now, he had finally passed the peerlessly handsome Big Brother Cheng and the unmatched beauty Susu as the most popular member of the class after three years of tireless effort.
It was actually not even a stretch to say that he was the most popular person in the entire school.
“Sigh, it was all thanks to my perseverance that I was able to get to this point. This glory was not easy to come by.” Tears welled up in An Lin’s eyes as he became moved by his own experiences.
He then saw a white figure about a kilometer away. This was Big Brother Cheng, who was still busy refining his own domain. There were already many craters around him. Thankfully the land was not very valuable here, wait, no, thankfully this was the territory of the Dark Marshlands, or else he was going to have to fork out a lot in reparations.
After walking for a while longer, An Lin caught sight of Xu Xiaolan and Su Qianyun.
The two of them were whispering to one another, and Xu Xiaolan was gesturing with her Dragon Sparrow Sword.
“What are you two talking about?” An Lin shuffled over to them with curiosity on his face.
A light blush appeared on Su Qianyun’s intricate features as she lowered her head.
“Go away!” Xu Xiaolan snapped as she glared at An Lin.
An Lin faltered slightly before leaving with a gloomy expression.
Was there some secret that they were hiding from him?
Thus, he continued onward and encountered the meditating Xiao Ze.
“You’re finally back, Master!” Xiao Ze’s clear eyes were filled with excitement.
“M-hm, I’m back. How are you recently?” An Lin was quite pleased with the enthusiastic welcome his disciple extended toward him.
“Master, after battling Laden, I feel like there are many flaws in my defense. Can you instruct me?” Xiao Ze looked at An Lin with scorching anticipation in his eyes.
An Lin’s lips twitched upon hearing this. How was he supposed to instruct a mighty figure at the pinnacle of the Return to Void Intermediate Stage? What a joke!
“Ahem… I’m not very well versed in the dao of defense…”
“That’s not true, Master. You clearly only possess a Soul Formation Stage body, but your defenses cannot be broken even by most Return to Void Stage mighty figures. This is a clear indication of your profound expertise in the dao of defense!” Xiao Ze looked at An Lin with a sulky expression as he said, “Master, have you still not acknowledged me? That’s ok, I will do my best and wait for you to change your mind!”
“I HAVE acknowledged you, it’s just that I really don’t have anything to teach you… As for why my defenses are so powerful, it’s all because of my initial success stage body of the War God!” An Lin explained with a resigned expression.
Xiao Ze blinked as he processed this and murmured, “Body of the War God? If it’s a divine body, then you must have accumulated a lot of knowledge to get to this point! Otherwise, there’s no way you would be able to attain a divine body with such insane defensive properties!”
An Lin was at a loss for words. Xiao Ze’s logic was watertight!
“You know that I attained my divine body through absorbing golden Realm Essence Crystals…”
“Master, you’re trying to fool me again. Weren’t those just sources of energy for you to cultivate your divine body? This is completely different from the observations and enlightenment required to attain your divine body; one is energy, while the other is dao…”
“Er, if I told you that I managed to reach the initial success stage of my body of the War God straight after absorbing the golden Realm Essence Crystal, would you believe me?”
“Waah… you can just tell me if you don’t want to teach me, Master! Don’t hurt me by treating me like an idiot!”
Tears were swimming in Xiao Ze’s eyes. He was An Lin’s only disciple, but he wasn’t being instructed in any way, shape, or form, and An Lin was trying to pass him off as an idiot on top of that… With this in mind, he couldn’t help but feel extremely crushed, and tears began to flow from his eyes.
An Lin was also feeling quite depressed. It wasn’t as if he didn’t want to instruct his disciple, he simply couldn’t!
He didn’t even know how he was cultivating himself, so how was he supposed to teach anyone else?
So what could he do…
An Lin pondered to himself with a gloomy expression.
“How…” An Lin hesitated momentarily before finally speaking.
Xiao Ze’s eyes lit up with excitement, and his breathing accelerated as he looked at An Lin with sparkling eyes.
“How about you learn cooking from me?” An Lin proposed with a genuine expression.
Xiao Ze’s body swayed, and he almost threw up a mouthful of blood.
That’s right, An Lin finally figured out what he was capable of after much thought.
Ever since he acquired the frying pan, he began to tirelessly improve his cooking, and he was now quite an accomplished chef. This was the only noteworthy skill that he could pass on.
“But Master, I’m not interested in cooking,” Xiao Ze said while gripping his chest.
“Then I don’t really have anything else to teach you.” An Lin sighed.
Tears flowed down Xiao Ze’s face again.
An Lin couldn’t bear to see him like this, and after thinking for some time, he suggested something else, “How about you learn how to flex from me?”
Xiao Ze: “…”
