Has Been Revised

After reading everyone's comments, I made some minor revisions to Chapter 44.

In the original work, Ye Hua was an expendable character to begin with. Frankly, his characterization was not particularly likable either. He had an especially foul mouth, repeatedly cursing Long Haochen as trash and an idiot, and constantly beating and berating him. Only a saintly person like Long Haochen could put up with that. Try replacing him with some proud, arrogant genius?

The Long Haochen I write is definitely not a saint. If Long Haochen took Ye Hua as his master, he certainly would not tolerate Ye Hua's beatings and insults, and conflict would inevitably arise. There was simply no need to write it that way.

Besides, the original work never made it clear exactly what was so brilliant about Ye Hua's teaching methods. No matter what, he could not surpass a Divine Knight like Long Xingyu.

After the Demon Hunt Squad Selection Tournament, Ye Hua did not even have any more scenes. Even San Miao could not make it work. In my eyes, Ye Hua was just a foul-mouthed beginner NPC. There was no need to follow him and suffer for no reason.

Also, fanfiction mainly draws on the original setting. I know some readers have not read the original novel and only watched the anime. In the original, Long Haochen never tearfully begged to become Ye Hua's disciple. That was from the anime.

To write this novel, I did watch the anime as well, but I did not intend to borrow its setting. I only wanted to get a sense of readers' tastes and refresh my memory of the original's general plotline.

Frankly, the anime has already been changed beyond recognition and differs greatly from the original work.

Let me clarify this here: this novel follows the original setting. Naturally, writing the novel means using the original as the standard. I hope readers who have only watched the anime can understand.
