Chapter 653: Chapter 90: Yan Jing’s Shield_2
Yan Yu really wanted to say there were definitely more than just these ten or so people, because there were always some cultivators who didn’t register. But seeing Lin already had tears swirling in her eyes, he changed his mind and pointed to the couch nearby, saying:
“Sit.”
Lin flopped down hard, her lips pursed tightly, and her eyes wide open as if she was struggling to keep the tears from falling.
“Have some fruit, calm your nerves.” Yan Yu said.
Lin immediately lost her temper, but since Yan Jing was still downstairs and hadn’t gone up, she could only stomp on Yan Yu’s instep with her slipper, gritting her teeth as she squeezed out a few words:
“Shouldn’t you be comforting me right now?”
“I already have.” Yan Yu said with an innocent look, “Fortuitous encounters, fortuitous encounters!”
“Why do so many people have fortuitous encounters, and I don’t?” Lin started to argue nonsensically.
“If you say there should be one, then would it still be considered a fortuitous encounter?” Yan Yu scoffed.
Lin silently shifted her weight to press down harder on the foot she was stepping on.
“Sigh.” Yan Yu sighed, “Ningning, calm down a bit, let me analyze this for you: firstly, the speed of cultivation mainly depends on cultivation talent, right?”
“That’s right.” Lin said, “They taught that in school during theory class.”
You still remember your school’s theory classes, huh…
“In fact, as long as your cultivation talent isn’t worse than Chen Lingyun’s, you can basically reach the upper limit of cultivation level allowed by the current spiritual energy concentration, it’s just a matter of how quickly or slowly.” Yan Yu said slowly, “Elixir Medicine, Mysterious Realm, other national resources can only affect how quickly you reach this upper limit. What truly determines if you can reach the level cap is your talent.”
“My talent isn’t bad either.” Lin muttered.
“Your talent isn’t bad, but there are always cultivators out there with better talent than yours.” Yan Yu laughed, “Using this gap to offset your advantage of being an officially trained cultivator, elevating their cultivation levels faster.”
“But as I said, levels don’t really matter much, after all, there’s a cap hanging there anyway. Even if their talent is much better than yours, they will have to stop and wait for you eventually… Then it’ll come down to who has the stronger Flying Sword, who has more powerful Magic Treasures, whose techniques are badass. You have a significant edge over them in these aspects.”
“Hmph.” Lin’s mood finally improved, and she hummed, “Then I can’t be left behind in cultivation levels, I have to catch up as soon as possible.”
“Keep it up!” Yan Yu said.
Having cheered Lin up to the point where she cracked a smile, Yan Yu wore a casually proud smile but soon fell into thought again.
Thinking about it, Ningning is actually a representation, embodying the deep sentiments of many Team Monks who actually look down on ordinary cultivators.
I have talent, I have Elixir Medicine, I have nationwide training, why should I respect them?
Discovering that there are cultivators out there leveling up faster than them, even someone with Ningning’s temperament couldn’t help but get upset, what about the other Team Monks?
The rebellion of Old Li in the past…
After a moment of contemplation, Yan Yu picked up his phone and sent a message to Qiu Ze.
[Win Over with Virtue]: Have you heard about the recent cultivator competition?
[Speed Across Miles]: Of course, the media is all over it, I’ve seen it pop up on my phone countless times already.

[Win Over with Virtue]: You have a wide network at school, tell me, what do your classmates think about this competition?
[Speed Across Miles]: Mostly worried or annoyed, I guess.
[Win Over with Virtue]: Oh, how so?
[Speed Across Miles]: Let me give you an analogy, Yan God. You’re from Lin’an, let’s assume you got into Jiangnan University, a 985 priority undergraduate, awesome! Then there’s a branch college from another region that is a second tier. Suddenly you hear news that this branch college is merging with the main campus, and those second-tier students are all returning to the main campus, with subsequent studies and graduation treated equally… What’s your first reaction?
[Win Over with Virtue]: Uh… worried and annoyed, right?
[Speed Across Miles]: Exactly, people just don’t like seeing others doing better. We are Team Monks, the nation’s darlings. What are those ordinary cultivators? Step-children? Even in civil servant matchmaking, people basically don’t consider those outside the system, can you expect our Team Monks to have a good attitude towards ordinary cultivators?
[Win Over with Virtue]: Apart from grumbling, any other reactions?
[Speed Across Miles]: That’s about it, just grumble and it’s mostly done. Yan God, we are absolutely loyal to the nation, no matter who says what weird things, deep down everyone always supports all decisions from above. Where the Zhendong Army banner points, we charge!
[Win Over with Virtue]: That’s enough, I’m not probing on behalf of Old Li, just asking casually.
[Speed Across Miles]: You ask casually, I answer seriously, hehe.
Yan Yu sighed, thinking that Qiu Ze probably wasn’t lying.
Right now, the resources for Team Monks are still sufficient, and it’s quite reasonable for everyone to stay at the level of just grumbling. He just feared that if ordinary cultivators keep being recruited more and more nonstop, and Chen Tianming starts stirring things up from behind like in the past, then when resources aren’t enough anymore…
Damn, why think so much, getting stronger myself is the real deal!
“Brother!” Yan Jing suddenly lunged from behind the couch, grabbing his head, “Who are you chatting with? I caught you!”
Although his back was to the girls, Yan Yu still felt as if several gazes were being cast at him simultaneously, like focused sunlight under a magnifying glass, making his temperature begin to rise dramatically.
