Chapter 64 - 61: Wind Attribute Cultivation Technique

The family disciples all turned their eyes to Su Chen, their gazes filled with unmistakable mockery and contempt. Some, more talkative, even gathered together, whispering purposely. "Exactly, little monster, he should obediently hide in his room, why come out and embarrass himself?" "Heh, if he’s not ashamed enough already, he can continue making a spectacle of himself. It’s been so long, his skin must have gotten thicker!" "Yes, the name ’little monster’ really suits him. Hiding in his room all day, who knows what mischief he’s up to..." Su Chen clenched his fists tightly, lowering his head. His slightly long bangs covered his eyes. He could feel it; even the chair trembled with his anger. But he couldn’t explode; he didn’t have the right or the strength. He reminded himself a thousand times over that these people would regret what they did to him today! "Alright, everyone calm down." Su Jie spoke again. Instantly, everyone stopped, quietly watching Su Jie. "It’s enough to be prepared. If anyone is fortunate enough to enter the Carefree Sect, they’ll be guided by brothers from the sect, and go to the Spirit Beast Mountain Range for the Blood Covenant. If the Blood Covenant succeeds, you’ll naturally be taught Cultivation Technique and skills. In the Carefree Sect, the Cultivation Technique is unified, but skills can be chosen based on your preferences. Of course, the vast majority are wind attribute skills, which you’ll get to know in time. I hope one of you can achieve success there and bring glory to the Su Family. But if anyone brings disgrace to the family, then I, Su Jie, will be the first to disown them." As his words fell, all the teenagers were thrilled, whispering among themselves. Only Su Chen silently slipped off the chair, lowered his head, and silently left the hall under their gazes... "Su Chen..." Watching Su Chen’s lonely departure, Su Xue felt her heart stabbed, a faint pain emerging. Su Yu tugged her hand, comforting her, "Xue’Er, don’t overthink it. Everyone has their destiny; this might have been arranged by the heavens." "Sister, didn’t you say that as long as one is willing to work hard, girls can surpass boys? Then why lie to me? Su Chen, in terms of potential and perseverance, doesn’t lose to any of them. Why can’t he be a candidate for the Carefree Sect’s disciple? It’s so unfair!" Su Yu was stunned and then fell silent. For a moment, she couldn’t think of how to persuade her sister. Watching the direction Su Chen left, sympathy appeared on her face for the first time. Could it be destined that such a hardworking boy can’t be recognized by anyone?... Deep into the night. Su Chen lay quietly on the bed, a trace of desolation in his bewildered expression. Despite all his efforts, he still couldn’t gain everyone’s recognition; instead, he often suffered their merciless ridicule and belittlement. Why did this family make him feel so bleak and indifferent? Thinking of being mocked by Su Yu’s father and son earlier, he felt a wave of discomfort. No one is born indifferent; after all, he is just an eight-year-old child, hoping for even the slightest recognition from everyone. But it seems this road is still very long, very long. With a creak, while Su Chen was deep in thought, the door suddenly opened. With a smile on his face, Su Hutian, hands behind his back, appeared at the door. Upon seeing him, Su Chen immediately jumped out of bed! "Dad, you’re back!" "Mm, have you had dinner?" Su Hutian asked caringly. "I have, but it was tasteless without you and mom around." Before his father, Su Chen rarely acted so affectionately. Su Hutian patted his little head and said, chuckling, "Silly child, come sit down. I have some things to talk to you about." Su Chen obediently walked to the bedside, looking at his father. "Dad, what is it?" Su Hutian took a moment to compose himself, then said slowly, "I’m pleased you’ve finished cultivating from that Cultivation Technique manual. After all, the Cultivation Technique is the foundation of Beast Cultivation. Without it, subsequent cultivation wouldn’t be possible. But the Cultivation Technique is merely the key to the world of Beast Cultivation, not the most important part." "Why, Dad?" Su Chen asked, puzzled. Su Hutian, with a solemn expression, knew tonight’s lesson was important; it might influence his child’s entire life. "Because every Beast Cultivator’s initial goal is to become powerful, even invincible, right?" Su Chen nodded. "But the Cultivation Technique is merely the basis for circulating the Beast’s Qi Energy. It’s the Power of Origin; at most, it can only enhance your physical qualities, strengthen your body, but it can’t be the means to defeat your opponent. At this time, you need one or more attribute skills to help. Listen carefully; what I’m about to say is very important." Su Chen’s heart tightened, nodding quickly. "Attribute skills, as the name implies, are techniques with different attributes that can harm enemies. Categorized by function, they’re divided into three types: offensive, defensive, and healing. By element, they’re divided into ten: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, darkness, blood, and light. It’s up to you to choose. Of course, there are rare talents in the world who can cultivate two types of attribute skills concurrently, but such people are extremely rare." "So Dad cultivates earth attribute skills?" Su Chen asked, recalling the sight of Luo Feng and Bai Ya. Luo Feng seemed to merge the strengths of both wind and fire attribute skills, and that Bai Ya should be of the blood attribute, right? "Yes, Dad cultivates earth attribute skills. We, the Su Family, with feet on the yellow earth, stand firm; choosing earth attribute skills is an excellent choice." There was a hint of pride on Su Hutian’s face. Su Chen couldn’t help but grin, "Then I want to cultivate wind attribute skills, Dad." "Why?" Su Hutian asked curiously. "Dad stands on the yellow earth, then Chen’er will soar across the blue sky!" Su Hutian laughed heartily, ruffling his little head, then took out two thin, azure manuals from his pocket, "Chen’er, see what this is?" Su Chen looked closely and immediately beamed with joy, "It’s skill manuals, Dad!" Su Hutian laughed heartily, "Hahaha, look at how happy you are. Yes, and they are indeed wind attribute skills~" Su Chen didn’t wait for him to hand them over, snatching the two thin manuals eagerly, flipping through them lovingly. "Thank you, Dad!" Su Hutian watched him with a smile, "These two wind attribute skills are called Wind Shadow Blade and Wind Vortex. I selected them carefully. Chen’er, your speed is naturally faster than others, so I chose this. Although both are just low-level skills, with your current level, you can only practice these first." "Dad, do skills also have levels?" Su Chen caught the underlying message in his words. "Yes, attribute skills are divided into four levels: low-level skills, mid-level skills, high-level skills, and super-high-level skills. It depends on the practitioner’s understanding of the Cultivation Technique, the strength of their body, and their comprehension of the skills. Even if your Cultivation Technique is nearly perfect and you have high insight into skills, if your physical condition is insufficient, you might still fail." Su Chen understood, nodding deeply, "Then what level are Dad’s skills at?" "Mid-level, haha, Dad is just at the Beast Sovereign rank, which is the first stage of cultivating mid-level skills. From Beast Spirit to the highest rank of Beast Demon, there are nine levels in total, with three Beast Cultivation ranks corresponding to one skill level. This means from Beast Spirit to Beast Master, you can only cultivate low-level skills. But it’s fine; each Beast Cultivation level has five star stages, and the power of skills increases with each stage..."
