Chapter 14: I Just Want to Be A Quiet Otaku

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

By the time Zhu Wuyang absorbed all the breakthrough points that had been forcefully injected, his strength had already reached the peak of the Mid-stage Golden Bones Refinement Realm, and he was getting closer and closer to the Late-stage Golden Bones Refinement Realm.

Others would need months or even a year or two to improve so much, but Zhu Wuyang only took half an hour.

He looked at the current available Breakthrough Points he had. It had already exceeded 900 points. Although it was not enough for Zhu Wuyang to raise the Azure Dragon Concealment Art to the Greater Mastery realm, it could also allow his Azure Dragon Concealment Art to increase by a large amount and better hide his true strength.

After a quick meal, Zhu Wu began to cultivate the Azure Dragon Concealment Art.

“Congratulations to the host for cultivating the Azure Dragon Concealment Art for the third time in your life. You have obtained 100 breakthrough points…”

After absorbing all the usable breakthrough points, the Azure Dragon Concealment Art’s progress had increased a lot. If nothing unexpected happened, even martial artists at the High-level Meridian Forging Realm should not be able to detect Zhu Wuyang’s true strength.

This made Zhu Wuyang feel much safer. However, when he thought about how there was still a eunuch in the Crown Prince Palace who was close to the Xiantian realm and was said to have grasped an extremely powerful detection technique, Zhu Wuyang’s heart tensed up again.

The Lesser Mastery stage Azure Dragon Concealment Art was still a little worrisome at this level. He had to advance the Azure Dragon Concealment Art to the Greater Mastery stage as soon as possible before he could be at ease.

Moreover, although the Crown Prince Palace did not have a Xiantian Realm martial artist guarding it on the surface, who knew if there were Xiantian Realm martial artists secretly monitoring it?

Even if there were no Xiantian realm martial artists in the Crown Prince Palace, the other palaces near the Crown Prince Palace definitely had Xiantian realm martial artists guarding them.

Especially in the residence of Mad Emperor Zhu Zhenwu, there were Xiantian Realm martial artists everywhere. Once Zhu Wuyang stepped in, it was very likely that his true strength would be detected in minutes.

The Azure Dragon Concealment Art still needed to continue improving, and Zhu Wu’s strength had to be suppressed with all his might.

In that case, he would try his best not to go out during this period of time. On the one hand, he could avoid encountering the Xiantian realm experts in the palace, and on the other hand, he could reduce the frequency of obtaining breakthrough points.

After all, in the huge palace, there were many things that Zhu Wuyang had never seen, played with, or experienced before… If he encountered them, there might be endless breakthrough points.

At that time, Zhu Wuyang would have to hide his strength while absorbing the breakthrough points that were forcefully poured over. If he was careless, his true strength would be exposed, and he would be completely finished.

Therefore, it was better to be an otaku. He would hide at home every day and cultivate the Azure Dragon Concealment Art with all his might so that he could reach the Greater Mastery stage as soon as possible.

Zhu Wuyang believed that with his current talent and aptitude, it wouldn’t take long for him to improve the level of the Azure Dragon Concealment Art.

After some consideration, Zhu Wuyang lay on the new bed and began to cultivate the Azure Dragon Concealment Art.

It was unknown if it was because she was afraid that he would burn the bed again, but this time, Lai Chun had changed the bed for him. It was very difficult to burn, and it was quite tough. However, it was a little uncomfortable to sleep on.

This reminded Zhu Wuyang of the soft and fragrant thousand-year-old wooden bed from before. If he had known that it would be replaced with such a lousy bed, he would not have lain on the bed when he broke through previously. He regretted it.

“Congratulations to the host for saving yourself for the third time in your life. You have obtained 1,000 breakthrough points…”

“Congratulations to the host for lying in bed for the second time in your life. You have obtained 200 breakthrough points…”

“Congratulations to the host for missing your bed for the first time in your life. You have obtained 300 breakthrough points…”

… .

Zhu Wuyang was a little speechless. It was fine if he wanted to save himself and obtain breakthrough points, but just by lying on the bed and thinking about the thousand-year-old incense wooden bed from before, he could also obtain breakthrough points. The Extraordinary Encounters System was too ridiculous.

These trivial matters could be considered a special encounter. Did it have to be so exaggerated?

Zhu Wuyang shook his head and endured the impact of the strange power again. His strength continued increasing.

“Congratulations to the host for feeling helpless for the third time in your life. You have obtained 100 breakthrough points…”

Zhu Wuyang wanted to curse again. You’re still giving points when I scold you. Extraordinary Encounters System, you’re getting more and more skilled at taking advantage of me.

According to the frequency at which he obtained breakthrough points, even if Zhu Wuyang hid in the bedroom and did not go out, it seemed like a large number of breakthrough points would be poured in. What should he do?

“Congratulations to the host for worrying about your future for the second time in your life. You have obtained 300 breakthrough points…”

“Congratulations to the host for letting your imagination run wild for the first time in your life. You have obtained 300 breakthrough points…”

Zhu Wuyang was a little desperate. He immediately focused all his attention on cultivating the Grand Earth Limitless Technique and the Azure Dragon Concealment Art. He did not think about anything else, lest he be forcefully injected with another wave of breakthrough points.

“Congratulations to the host for feeling despair for the second time in your life. You have obtained 300 breakthrough points…”

Zhu Wuyang said, “Extraordinary Encounters System, f*ck you!”

Zhu Wuyang, who was completely focused on cultivation, wanted to continue like this. He didn’t want any special situations to happen and bring him another wave of breakthrough points.

However, even if the tree wanted to stay still, the wind would not stop. There were many things in this world that would not be shifted by Zhu Wuyang’s will.

While Zhu Wuyang only wanted to cultivate calmly and slowly, not doing anything out of line, and to prevent any special encounters, Zhen Le and Feng Yuan were unwilling to comply with Zhu Wuyang’s wishes.

With the help of the two of them, the news of Zhu Wuyang’s failed self-immolation began to spread at an astonishing speed in the Crown Prince Palace. The more it spread, the more exaggerated it became.

“Have you heard? The new Crown Prince, Zhu Wuyang, was so frightened that he set himself on fire. Fortunately, he escaped from the sea of fire in time because he was afraid of pain. Otherwise, he would have been charred.”

“Of course I heard. Just now, Zhen Le and Feng Yuan even came to warn us to take good care of His Highness 168th in case he commits suicide. At that time, the Mad Emperor will choose a new Crown Prince. All the Princes will be unlucky. Who knows who will be chosen to die next?”

“Zhu Wuyang is really a piece of trash. It’s said that when he burned himself, he was lying on the bed. In the end, before the fire even started, he was so frightened that he rolled down. He was completely fine, but that expensive thousand-year-old incense wooden bed was completely destroyed.”

“When Zhu Wuyang set himself on fire, I was behind his bedroom and saw smoke billowing inside. At that time, I didn’t expect Zhu Wuyang, this cowardly fellow, to actually dare to set himself on fire, so I didn’t care.”
