"You had another insight?"
Wan Keshan rose in surprise, his expression unreadable.
Sure enough, he had guessed right!
Back on the train yesterday,
Li Qingshan had worn the same expression and used the same tone when he said he had gained some insight into "The Marvel of Square Inch."
Wan Keshan had originally scoffed at it, yet after merely one night, Li Qingshan had truly gained insight!
At that thought, Wan Keshan's eyes shone, his gaze burning with eagerness.
"When will you be able to break through? Tomorrow? The day after?"
"Uh..."
Li Qingshan paused. He had not expected Wan Keshan to have such "faith" in him, and could only wave his hand helplessly.
"Teacher, it won't be that fast. I've only gained a little insight, just a little."
"Is that so?"
Wan Keshan sat back down in disappointment. After taking two sips of tea and steadying himself, he finally asked seriously,
"Kid, are you sure you can break through the fifth layer of The Stars Are Calling?"
"I'm sure!" Li Qingshan nodded without hesitation.

"Good, good, good..."
Wan Keshan said good three times in a row, his voice gradually fading until he said no more.
His eyes remained fixed on the mist rising from above the teacup, slowly losing focus as though he had fallen into memories.
Li Qingshan did not speak. He sat beside him and waited quietly.
A moment later,
Light returned to Wan Keshan's eyes, and he set down his teacup.
Rather than mention why he had lost himself just now, he smiled faintly and said,
"The Rookie Competition is over. Aren't you anxious about the reward worth two hundred million Star Coins?"
