Building Shen Wentian's Reputation for the "Aptitude of a Superlative Hero"

"Since you already have a plan, then let's do as you say."

Shen Tianxun spoke up:

"Once you're on the field, I'll enhance the strength of that stepping stone, the Withering and Flourishing Sect, to a certain extent, using him to find an opportunity for you to break through."

"Once you break through, I will restore your strength to normal levels so that you can deliver a fatal blow."

"It's also possible that it won't return to normal levels," Shen Wentian.

"As long as I can break through and take that step, even if he's not at his normal level, killing him will be no difficult task!"

"Great!" Shen Tianxun laughed heartily, patting Shen Wentian on the shoulder:

"Father believes in you. Go ahead, there's still plenty of time. Spend some more time cultivating. I'll take care of the rest."

Shen Wentian responded and then left.

After he left, Shen Tianxun raised his hand to his brow, his strength fluctuating. After a long while, he finally let out a long breath, which was clearly tinged with resentment.

"That damned brow! If it keeps furrowing like that, don't blame me for tearing it apart!"

It had just quieted down for a while, but then it started furrowing even more tightly again; it just wouldn't stop.

After a moment, Shen Tianxun shifted his attention, ignoring the frown on his brow, and instead recalled the conversation with satisfaction, sighing aloud:

"Tian'er has really grown up. She can think of so many things and is already capable of standing on her own."

The idea of killing someone with a single blow sounds astonishing.

However, the actual results are often constrained by many factors.

Especially the strength of the two sides in the conflict.

Everyone knows that the Shen Clan is strong, Withering and Flourishing Sect is weak.

In such a situation, even if a decisive blow is truly due to superior strength, it is very likely to be perceived as an unfair victory.

If deliberately misled, it could turn into claims of bullying the weak and only daring to attack the vulnerable.

This is clearly not good.

On the contrary, that's what Shen Wentian said.

Improving the strength of that junior from the Withering and Flourishing Sect and intensifying the battle between the two sides, while it might give the impression that he isn't particularly outstanding, would make the whole thing feel more real.

Over the years, he has come to understand a principle.

Often, a person's level of achievement is not measured by the number of steps they have climbed, but rather by the height of those steps.

Even if one climbs a hundred steps, the total height of those steps is less than a hundred feet. Others, however, only climb one hundred-foot-high step, and though they only climb one step, they reach a higher place.

He understood this principle, but he never expected that Shen Wentian also knew it.

Moreover, and more importantly, there were breakthroughs during the battle.

Over the past thousand years, some theories have begun to circulate.

For example, "Those younger generations who find a way to survive in the face of death are likely to be people with great fortune," "Those who can break through in battle and reverse desperate situations must have extraordinary abilities," and "Those who can survive in a certain situation or condition will surely become major figures in their own world."

There are many similar statements.

Breakthroughs during battle are a commonly circulated scenario.

This kind of thing looks easy, but it's actually quite difficult to do.

War is not child's play; the situation changes in an instant, and every action, every slight difference, can lead to different possible outcomes.

Breakthroughs during battle are still breakthroughs, and they almost always bring a great deal of distraction.

To be distracted in the midst of a fierce and ever-changing battle is incredibly dangerous.

Over the years, people have consistently attempted to do this.

As for the outcomes, they were mostly unsatisfactory.

Those who perish as a result are eight or nine out of ten.

But it is undeniable that...

Those who succeeded and survived all achieved remarkable things in the end.

Even if he's not at the peak, he's certainly not ordinary.

Especially in recent years, since the emergence of the descendant of the Liu Clan who Aptitude of a Great Emperor, the momentum for promoting this aspect has become increasingly strong.

As a result, in recent years, the Misty Clear Realm has seen the emergence of many titles such as "Battle Emperor's Appearance," "Human King's Appearance," and even "Overlord's Appearance," as if one cannot be remembered by the world without a title.

Suddenly, an idea flashed through Shen Tianxun's mind.

The next moment, his expression shifted slightly, and he uttered a satisfied sound:

"After this battle, I will bestow upon Wentian the title of 'Extraordinary Hero,' so that the world will remember him."

A mighty and outstanding strongman is called a hero, but a super hero is one who surpasses even that, reaching new heights!

After thinking it over, Shen Tianxun felt that everything was settled.

"In that case, half a month seems a bit long."

Looking outward, Shen Tianxun shook his head and murmured.

Seeing his son's thoughtful and well-thought-out plans, he himself was now secretly looking forward to the upcoming betting battle.

With powerful members of the Liu Clan present to witness the battle and seemingly on his side, coupled with the clan's possession of such an artifact to ensure the outcome before it even begins, and considering the strength of his son's bloodline, all these factors combined led Shen Tianxun to even entertain the idea that:

Faced with such an inevitable defeat, what struggle could the Withering and Flourishing Sect then?

Hidden Origin Peak.

"Junior sister, you've gone to see your sister-in-law again?"

Upon seeing Qin Li return, Mu Fan spoke first, and then his figure appeared.

Qin Li nodded, and then heard Mu Fan say:

"You've been quite busy lately, haven't you? Are you planning something big?"

"What?" Qin Li looked at Mu Fan:

"Curious?"

Mu Fan gently shook his head:

"If you're not curious, you'll definitely tell me yourself."

"Oh," Qin Li replied, turning to leave.

"Hey!" Mu Fan immediately panicked:

"Are you really leaving?"

"Otherwise? You want me to play hard to get?" Qin Li looked at Mu Fan as if he were an idiot.

Mu Fan: "..."

Before Mu Fan say anything, Qin Li turned and said:

There are two reasons why I went to see Shen Wenxi.

"First, we need to confirm whether she is truly the daughter of the Shen Clan Changzhi, and whether she is Shen Clan Shen Wentian's younger sister."

Second, help the senior brother win.

"Hmm?" Mu Fan raised his voice, staring at Qin Li with a questioning look:

"What, you've been sparring for so long, and you still don't believe in Boss Gu's strength?"

"Of course I believe you." Qin Li glanced at Mu Fan and said:

"But having the ability doesn't guarantee victory."

"The Shen Clan has existed for so many years; do not underestimate their strength. I don't know why this bet is set in the Shen Clan's territory. With the strength of their younger generation, the Shen Clan has absolute say in who wins and who loses."

"Playing dirty tricks?" Mu Fan found it hard to believe.

"It can reach this level?"

"Yes." Qin Li nodded.

She had fallen into this pit before in her previous life; it was quite deep, and she almost drowned.

"But," Qin Li changed the subject:

"Although my master and the sect's experts don't interfere, Shen Clan can get what they want, I also know some tricks to prevent them from doing so."

"Hmm?" Mu Fan seemed to suddenly realize something, and looked Qin Li up and down:

"Wait a minute, junior sister, how do you know so much?"

Qin Li remained calm and transmitted a message:

"Master forbade me to say, but actually, it was Master who told me."

Upon hearing this, the doubt on Mu Fan's face vanished instantly, and even a hint of relief crept onto his face, as if he had finally seen the light of day again.

"As expected, Master wouldn't really ignore this; he's already secretly getting involved."

"With our powerful master intervening, isn't everything settled now? It seems we can even find a way to ride on his coattails and complete the mission."

Mu Fan was secretly delighted, and his worries about how to carry out the mission vanished.

Instead, entirely new ideas emerged.

Rather than trying to overcome the challenges of the mission, it's better to stick close to our master!

We have to start with Master!
