Chapter 87: A Role Model’s Influence, An Incredibly Amazing Disciple
EndlessFantasy Translation EndlessFantasy Translation
“I lost…”
The moment those words came out from the Taixu Temple Lord’s mouth, the countless disciples outside the Distant Day Palace Hall immediately fell silent. At that moment, not a single sound was heard in the vast Taixu Temple.
Everyone was so in shock that they became speechless.
What had they just heard?
The Taixu Temple Lord said that he … Lost?
The Taixu Temple Lord lost in a mental sparring match with Chu Kuangren!
‘He is an Honorable Supreme! How can he lose to a mere junior? This is just too unbelievable. No one will even believe it if word spreads of this.’
“The Temple Lord, he… Lost!”
“How can this be? How is it possible for Chu Kuangren to win against the Temple Lord!”
“What kind of beast is he? He’s only a Paradise Realm cultivator, yet you’re telling me he won against an Honorable Supreme in a mental sparring match? This is defying logic!”
“Too terrifying, he’s just too terrifying.”
“Although I’m unwilling to accept it, what he said was true. No one could deem themselves as sky-prides before Chu Kuangren! They are all just mediocre peers.”
What followed after the silence was a wave of heated discussions.
Many people were shocked yet amazed. Some were even traumatized as if they had seen a peak that was hard for them to reach in their lifetimes.
In the Distant Day Palace Hall, the shocked Taixu Temple Lord looked back at Chu Kuangren after he had regained his composure and lamented. “I did not expect Junior Chu to have been able to gain enlightenment at the final moment and break through the Daoist technique realms. It is truly amazing and impressive.”
“I’m afraid I won’t be able to have a breakthrough at the final moment if it weren’t for the Temple Lord putting such a big pressure on me.” Chu Kuangren simply smiled.
From his perspective, was this not how things should be naturally?
After all, who went and made him into a protagonist?

Upon hearing that, the Taixu Temple Lord’s mouth twitched. It meant that not only his plans were foiled, but he had inadvertently helped the enemy instead.
“I have gained a lot of experiences from this mental sparring match. I thank you greatly, Temple Lord.”
“You’re welcome, Junior Chu. I hope you do stay a few days in Taixu Temple and I hope we can have a better chat when there’s time.”
From that moment onwards, it seemed like the Taixu Temple Lord had started to view Chu Kuangren as on the same level of existence as he was, or at least it was quite so on the subject of Daoist techniques.
“Yeah, that’d be nice.”
Chu Kuangren did not refuse as well.
With that, he stayed three more days at the Taixu Temple, and during that time, besides the Taixu Temple Lord, even the other elders went to have a mental sparring match with him.
In those three days, Chu Kuangren went through at least ten mental sparring matches which deeply refined his understanding of Daoist techniques as of then, and his Single Strike Technique had also improved as well.
“Temple Lord, I thank you for having me here for the past few days.”
At the Taixu Temple’s mountain gate, Chu Kuangren was preparing to leave.
The Taixu Temple Lord and a crowd of elders were also there to see him off.
“Feel free to visit again, young junior.”
The Taixu Temple Lord chuckled. Although he lost to Chu Kuangren in the mental sparring match, he did not feel any resentment at all. Instead, he was just amazed.
Besides, building good relations with a sky-pride of that level would only benefit the Taixu Temple without causing any harm. Only a fool would seek to make enemies with him.
“Just as the mountain fields are lush and the river flows everlastingly, Temple Lord, we are bound to meet again someday in the future. Goodbye.”
With that, Chu Kuangren turned and went down the mountain.
Seeing his receding silhouette, the Taixu Temple Lord lamented. “This person’s talents are limitless and impressive, he’ll surely leave a name for himself in the annals of history.”
“He can even be compared with the Emperors of Old!”
…
Chu Kuangren had left the Taixu Temple since then, but in the past few days, news of him winning the Taixu Temple Lord in a mental sparring match had long spread far and wide.
Every orthodoxy and their respective sky-prides all felt that the news was too unbelievable.
A Paradise Realm cultivator had a mental spar with an Honorable Supreme and won?
It would be too much for that to be an exaggeration.
“That monster. This Chu Kuangren’s not even human at all, that guy’s a monster! Why don’t you tell me which other sky-pride can win an Honorable Supreme in a mental sparring match?”
“I think that this person is just too terrifyingly strong.”
“I agree. Will Chu Kuangren not stop until he finally scares or shocks us to death? Why does every news about him seem bigger and sound crazier than the last?”
“Sheesh, so what? That guy also killed a sage before, just so you know.”
