Chapter 93 Passing on the Torch of Benevolence
The next day, Ji Liguang got up very early. Before dawn, the sea of clouds was iron gray, and a bluish-white light seeped from under the clouds in the east, slowly climbing upwards. The light grew stronger and stronger, and finally several beams cut through the thin clouds, shooting into the sky.
Inside the courtyard, a blonde girl pushed open the door, basking in the sunlight. "Wow! No wonder this is Yanzhou, the sun is really strong! Why didn't those idiot elders in the clan choose this place as their territory?"
Sunbathing feels great!
No wonder the grapes and cantaloupes here are sweeter than elsewhere. The morning sunlight in Yanzhou feels like soaking in warm boiling water, and every cell in my body is cheering with joy.
If we let her live here for a while, wouldn't her attributes skyrocket?
Because of the nature of his profession, Ji Liguang gets up the earliest almost every day.
However, there were people in the courtyard who had gotten up even earlier than her.
"Good morning, Lu Ren! You're here so early again today!"
Good morning, Ali.
"Training again?"
"Yes, I want to break through to the Flame stage as soon as possible."
"The torch of life—"
There are six realms for professionals: Star Cocoon, Frost Moon, and Burning Sun. Each realm has its own changes. Breaking through to the next realm no longer depends on talent, but on personal luck. Firefly, Candlelight, and Flame are collectively referred to as the lower three realms. As long as one has enough talent, breaking through to the next realm is just a matter of patience and perseverance.
Ji Liguang scratched his messy hair, his golden hair looking fluffy in the sunlight, and walked into the courtyard with the middle strand of his head: "We broke through to the Candle Illumination stage at about the same time. I haven't even reached my bottleneck yet, but you're already close to breaking through to the Flame stage."
Lu Ren smiled and said, "I have more effective training time each day than you guys, and my attributes are too low. I can have a slight advantage in one-on-one combat, but I'm pretty useless in team battles."
The profession is an extremely specialized and extraordinary system. Each professional has limited role when taken out individually, but in team operations, you only need to complete your own assigned tasks.
For example, tires, steering wheel, motor, accelerator and brake, any one of them is a simple component, but when combined, they can become a car speeding on the road.
Lu Ren can drive on the road by himself, which seems to make him stronger than others, but he is like a chopped pepper fish head, while Jiang Yueying, Ji Liguang, Shen Yaoxing, and Lu Youhe can form a Lamborghini.
In simulated team battles with Lao Tang, Lu Ren can withstand damage, but not much. He can deal damage, but his output is limited, so he's basically just a supporting character.
Even his sister, Lu Youhe, can use bronze-level alchemical artifacts to deal considerable damage and perform well in team battles.
Lu Ren also vaguely sensed some pressure.
"Moreover, I only have a little over 500 attributes after breaking through to the Flame Realm, which is still far behind yours."
Ji Liguang's life attribute is now over 400, and it reaches over 800 during the day due to the amplification from sunlight. Jiang Yueying is a pure numerical monster, and her elemental affinity is already close to 700. In addition, her talent amplifies her fire magic, making her more powerful than some with over 1000 elemental affinity.
Ji Liguang was stretching her legs in the courtyard, looking annoyed. "But you're at 500 in every stat after reaching the Fire Relic Realm! That's too supermodel-like! And you still have more than half a year left in your advancement period. Although the progress speed in the Fire Relic Realm is much slower, you don't really want to break through to the Star Cocoon Realm before you're 20, do you?"
She was only wearing hot pants, which showed off her long, white legs and figure.
Lu Ren glanced at it, and some inappropriate images suddenly popped into his mind. He felt an itch in his nose and quickly looked away.
"Who wouldn't want that? If I did, I'd be famous, maybe even famous all over the world."
"Lu Ren, do you really want to be famous?"
"It's not that I want to be famous, it's just that if I can really break through to the Star Cocoon Realm before I turn 20, it would feel quite fulfilling."
"What are you thinking, Lu Ren?"
"What do you mean by 'what I think'?"
"It's like, is there anything you really want to achieve or do?"
"Does being able to eat and drink well every day, and then play my favorite games after training count?"
"What's so special about this? And you've already accomplished it, haven't you? If you don't have something grander, you're missing the point. It has to be something really great, like a dream or something."
dream?
Lu Ren pondered for a while, but couldn't think of anything he wanted to do.
In his past life, he was a corporate slave raising five nieces on his own, whose goal was probably to raise them to be fair-skinned and independent adults.
But he had already achieved his goal before he time-traveled; his youngest niece had already graduated from university. It's just a pity that he didn't get to see them get married and have children, which is a bit of a regret.
But since I've already transmigrated, there's no way I can achieve the goals I set in my past life in this one.
Lu Ren thought for a moment and said, "My goal is to take good care of Lu Youhe, raise her to be fair and clean, until she becomes an independent adult? If she is also against marriage, I won't force her, but it would be best to see her get married and start a family. However, she must become a responsible adult, and if she has children, she must take care of them herself."
Lu Ren also wanted to see Miss Xiao Yueying and Ali become reliable adults.
After all, in his eyes, these girls were just like his nieces; they were all good children.
Ji Liguang looked at him strangely: "Why did you look so insightful when you said that?"
"Because these are lessons learned through blood and tears."
"Is taking care of your younger sister really a goal? It seems so ordinary."
As she spoke, she coughed twice, seemingly confused. It was easy to understand the intentions of this young girl.
Lu Ren asked with a smile, "What goals does Ali want to achieve?"
"Good question!"
She suddenly exclaimed with great confidence, "My dream is to become the world's strongest shield warrior!"
"real?!"
Lu Ren played along perfectly, exclaiming in astonishment, "Such lofty ambitions! Truly worthy of being Ali!"
"Right! You think it's amazing too, right!"
"This is absolutely amazing! Number one in the world! — Even though Ali is usually quite lazy, he actually has such grand ambitions. I never would have guessed before."
"Oh, because that's what I just thought of!"
"Huh? Did you just think of that?"
"Lu Ren, do you know? I'm actually a genius."
"I know."
"No, you don't know, I really am a genius."
"————" No genius would say that they are a genius, but Ji Liguang can say it with a straight face.
Ji Liguang looked serious and said, "I am a martial arts prodigy praised by the Ji family of Tiandu as a once-in-a-century talent. However, being a genius is too lonely. If I go too far, I will not have a single person who can understand me."
Just like back in the Ji family, just like with Xiaoshan, so I've actually been wasting my talent, thinking that as long as I'm about the same as the people around me, that's fine.
But now that I see you all, especially you, Lu Ren, I admit that you are a genius professional on the same level as me!
You are a partner for whom I'm willing to give 30%, no, 50%, of my effort and sweat to earn your talent!
Lu Ren let out a long "Oh!" in full support: "You suddenly seem so energetic!"
Ji Liguang, beaming with confidence, said, "Now I'll show you what I'm capable of giving it my all!"
"Alright, let me see just how terrifying the genius of the Ji family really is!"
"I'm telling you now, if I leave you too far behind, I'll look down on you!"
"Then I'll give it my all!"
"You're full of energy, let's do morning training together, Lu Ren!"
"Okay! Wait a minute."
Lu Ren suddenly froze, standing there somewhat at a loss.
Ji Liguang looked puzzled. "What's wrong, Lu Ren?"
Lu Ren scratched his head and said, "Oh, it's nothing. I just got excited and it seems like I broke through the Flame of Life."
This was originally a skill that required gradual practice, but I never expected to break through at this moment.
