Chapter 433: 403 and Zhu Shi get married?_2

"Finding it difficult to use is actually a good thing," Mr. Zhu said. "If you ever find that using this power becomes easy, then that’s actually a terrible thing. Because it means your spirit is moving towards the domain of Yinyue.

"Even if Yinyue’s consciousness becomes fragmented and suppressed within your unconscious domain, unable to revive, that’s merely the previous Yinyue being eradicated. You yourself could become the next Yinyue.

"Mana is the manifestation of soul and consciousness. ’Turning illusions into reality’ is the power of Yinyue. Progressing on this path is akin to emulating Yinyue. For you, this inevitably carries the risk of eventually becoming Yinyue. So unless it’s necessary, it’s best not to use this skill."

"I see..." Changan crossed his arms and nodded, "So this is a power that comes with the risk of turning dark when used..."

Saying this, he winked at me, "Ah Cheng, aren’t you envious of this setup?"

"Do you have some strange stereotype about me?" I asked.

"Speaking of which, brother, what level of power can you specifically exert now?" Zhu Shi asked with concern, "Could it be that even you have experienced a power surge and reached the Great Success Rank..."

Changan thought for a moment and said, "I don’t really understand how demon hunters classify their levels, so I’m not sure what tier I am now."

"Based on my examination of Zhu Changan’s soul, purely in terms of power size, he should be able to exert achieved-level power," Lu Chan said, "and this is just the tip of the iceberg of his true power. Deep in his soul, or more specifically his unconscious domain, lies mana that even ordinary Great Success Rank Impermanence cannot match.

"If, as Mr. Zhu said, he loses control due to overusing Yinyue techniques, this portion of mana above Great Success Rank might leak out from his unconscious domain."

Mr. Zhu continued, "This is a risk that cannot be ignored. He must learn to tame his power over time to avoid unexpected incidents that could affect those around him.

"Even without accounting for the hidden power, Changan now sits on achieved-level mana without knowing how to use it, which is quite wasteful. Even a well-trained Residence Level Impermanence might be able to defeat him.

"If he were a naturally born Great Success Rank, simply using his power instinctively might contain mysteries unattainable to countless demon hunters... No, he is indeed a naturally born Great Success Rank, but that pertains to the Yinyue portion. As a human, it’s still necessary for him to start learning from the basics.

"Therefore, I suggest we let him enroll in Luoshan Academy to further his studies in demon hunter training."

Changan’s mouth dropped open, "Huh? I’ve already awakened extraordinary power, and I still have to study?"

"Luoshan Academy, huh..." Lu Chan agreed, "They have very rich educational resources there, so much so that many demon hunters from prestigious families go there to further their studies. More than half of the Luoshan Demon Hunters graduated from there. I even recommended Kong Da to study there before, but unfortunately, he wasn’t talented enough... but Zhu Changan will definitely have no problem."

"Don’t worry about it being too dull there. I’ve heard that outstanding students at Luoshan Academy can earn reserve demon hunter qualifications during their studies, and engage in practical activities under the guise of handling abnormal incidents," Zhu Shi added, "For example, that Dong Che Zhuang Cheng interacts with, although he’s a top student of Gua Tianshi, he’s also a fourth-year student at Luoshan Academy and sometimes goes out on missions.

"Also, if brother you really find it dull, you can attempt to skip grades. With your mana level, as long as the compulsory courses don’t have terrible scores, skipping shouldn’t be too difficult."

Changan seemed to understand that he needs to learn how to control his mana. Then, thinking of something, an eager expression surfaced on his face, and his body became restless. He then said, "So... with the demon fox sealed within me, I first need to start as a lower ninja in the demon hunter world?"

Zhu Shi reflexively retorted, "What ’lower ninja’!? Where did you come up with that?!"

Mr. Zhu continued sternly, "However, to prevent the leakage of the evil mana within your body, we need to set up dozens of sealing techniques inside your body, insert covert monitors as your classmates in your class, and the lecturers will also be monitoring personnel.

"When you go on a rampage, the academy will sound the highest level disaster alarm, and Luoshan’s Dark Department will fully mobilize to address you as a super-high-risk suppression target..."

Upon hearing this intimidating statement, Changan became increasingly eager, filled with boundless energy, while Zhu Shi couldn’t help but clutch his head and shout, "Grandpa, don’t add fuel to the fire! Don’t you know the more you say, the more excited brother will get? And Senior Brother Zhuang, stop looking envious!"

"...I’m not envious, okay?" I said.

In any case, that’s where Changan’s situation leaves off.

Thinking of his "recovery from a major illness," we left him to rest quietly in the room, then left together. Mr. Zhu and Lu Chan seemed to need to get busy again, but Zhu Shi suddenly stopped Mr. Zhu, saying he had questions to ask. Lu Chan seemed to know what Zhu Shi wanted to ask, and stopped with interest. I followed suit.

"What question do you have?" Mr. Zhu asked.

"Grandpa, have you recently been developing a believer base in Luoshan Headquarters under Zhuang Cheng’s name... right?" Zhu Shi asked, "Developing a believer base helps enhance Zhuang Cheng’s anchoring strength as an Impermanence in the abnormal world, which is why you’re doing this."

"That’s right." Mr. Zhu nodded, "Is there a problem with this?"

Zhu Shi first glanced vaguely at Lu Chan, then continued, "But I’ve heard that merely developing a believer base has untrustworthy anchoring effects for Impermanence.

"Because, from the perspective of the believer community, as long as Impermanence can continue as their faith’s emblem, whether or not he truly exists doesn’t matter... After all, Impermanence, in the eyes of ordinary believers, is an unattainable existence they never have the chance to meet.

"Even if Zhuang Cheng becomes a Lost Great Impermanence, he just becomes even more unattainable, and the believer community can still exchange faith for power from the ’Zhuang Cheng’ emblem. There’s no essential difference. This fate is obviously imperfect and needs to be complemented by other means."

I had heard about this before, and Mr. Zhu should have known this from the start.

Mr. Zhu admitted, "Your understanding is not wrong."

"So... Grandpa, is there a way to supplement this?" Zhu Shi asked.

"Yes." Mr. Zhu seemed to have a plan, "And it’s quite simple."

"What method?" Zhu Shi was curious, "Is it to have Zhuang Cheng actively participate in the activities of the believer community to close the social gap? Honestly, that’s all I could think of."

"I think Zhuang Cheng probably wouldn’t like that approach..." Lu Chan said.

I agreed too; I’d rather spend time on adventures than involve myself in activities like a religious leader.

Zhu Shi seemed to figure this out too, and said with puzzlement, "Then what exactly is the method?"

Mr. Zhu looked deeply at his granddaughter, first coughing heavily, then taking a deep breath, and gave an unexpected answer.

"You just need to marry Zhuang Cheng!" he declared forcefully.
