Chapter 57: Two Choices
🕑 Added 2025-03-08 11:42:31 +0000 UTCAlthough he succeeded in becoming his disciple, Zhu Zhuqing knew that if he had not been his disciple in the previous future video, he would not have succeeded in becoming his disciple today.
After all, her talent, to be honest, was not that great. She was just an average genius, not a genius among geniuses.
Her innate soul power is only level 7. Zhu Zhuqing has cultivated to this point today with many times the effort of ordinary people. She has to work hard to catch up with those geniuses. But this catch-up is only temporary. When the level goes up in the later stage, the difference in qualifications will be more obvious. She is so desperate that she has locked the upper limit!
The spirit of the Nether Spirit Cat is not a particularly powerful spirit. In the history of their family, there are only a handful of people who can reach the Soul Douluo level, and there is no Title Douluo.
Zhu Zhuqing almost dared to conclude that if nothing unexpected happened, it would be impossible for her to become a Soul Douluo in this lifetime, and she could only become a Soul Sage at best.
In the Star Luo Empire, the Zhu family is second to none. But this is not because of how powerful the martial spirit of this family is. It is mainly because the Nether Spirit Cat martial spirit can be integrated with the royal white tiger martial spirit to form a martial spirit fusion skill – Nether White Tiger!
Because of this, the Zhu family can have such a transcendent status in Star Luo. It all depends on the royal family. It has nothing to do with whether they are strong or not.
“Offer tea and pay homage to me, Master.”
Ye Cheng sat upright and began to act like a master.
“Teacher, please have some tea.”
Zhu Zhuqing took the cup handed to her by Ning Rongrong and bowed respectfully to serve the tea.
In Douluo Continent, you don’t need to kneel when you become a disciple. That is the etiquette when you worship your parents or the king. Normally, you only need to bow when you become a disciple.
At this stage, in Douluo Continent, the relationship between teachers and students is not as good as that between parents and children. That is why a certain Douluo in a secret room can attack his apprentice without any psychological burden.
In fact, in people’s perception, the combination of teachers and students does not involve ethical aspects.
The relationship between teachers and students is just one of teaching skills and learning skills. It does not exist that teachers are like students’ parents and educate students as their own children.
Later, it was Tang San, an assassin, who started the trend, which led to the fact that all disciples in Douluo Continent had to kneel down to worship their teachers. It also emphasized that once a teacher, a father for life, making teachers like parents to students.
Ye Cheng didn’t care about kneeling or not. He accepted Zhu Zhuqing as his apprentice only because she was a female character he liked very much in his previous life. Now that he saw her, he helped her, that was all.
After taking the tea offered by Zhu Zhuqing and taking a sip, he accepted the disciple.
“Since you have become my disciple now.” Ye Cheng gently put down the teacup, then looked at Zhu Zhuqing and said: “Then I will give you two choices regarding your future cultivation path. One is to practice normally, and I will answer your questions and resolve all your doubts in cultivation. I will also provide you with abundant resources for cultivation, and try my best to enable you to reach the limit of your talent.”
“But you know your martial spirit and talent very well. If you practice normally, even with my help, your ultimate achievement will be Soul Douluo at best. You will never be able to be awarded a title in this lifetime!”
“The other option is to take an unconventional approach. I will train you in another way and help you break through the limits of your talent. However, you will face great danger to your life in the process. Even with my assistance, there is a high probability that you will die.”
“Which of these two options do you choose?” Ye Cheng finally said, giving her the right to choose.
Zhu Zhuqing was silent.
I began to think silently about the two choices given by Ye Cheng. What do they represent?
First, the first choice is to practice normally.
Without a doubt, this was the safest choice. There would be no risk, and with an Limit Douluo teaching her everything, her final achievement would be Soul Douluo. This was a level she had never dared to think about before. But the downside was that she would stop here in her life. Titled Douluo, no need to even think about it.
Because of her talent, it was already destined that if she continued to practice step by step, she would never be able to reach the level of Title Douluo. This was the limit that was destined before she was born.
The other option Is the unknown. But knowing is full of dangers!
But the greater the risk, the greater the reward.
From Ye Cheng’s words, Zhu Zhuqing knew that if she chose this path, once successful, her future achievements would probably be at least Titled Douluo!
Titled Douluo… the highest level of soul master. A level that she had never dared to think about before.
If Zhu Zhuqing is now a Title Douluo, then even if she has not become a disciple, the marriage contract will become a piece of waste paper for her. After all, even in the Star Luo Empire, there are only a handful of Title Douluo-level masters. Their status is very high. They are national treasures.
Once she becomes a Titled Douluo, Zhu Zhuqing will be completely free from now on. She can do whatever she wants, and no one will control her. She will not be forced to kill her own sister.
What a dreamy scene…
Faced with these two choices, Zhu Zhuqing hesitated rarely.
The first option is safer, and the second option offers higher returns!
So which one should we choose?
“…” She didn’t say anything, and was lost in memories. She remembered the powerlessness she felt when she was weak…
Ye Cheng and Ning Rongrong saw this and did not disturb her, because they knew that this was a choice that would affect her future life. It was normal to hesitate.
A long time passed.
She looked up and finally made a decision.
“teacher!”
Zhu Zhuqing met his gaze, took a deep breath, and looked back firmly: “I choose the second one!”
“Second one, sure?”
Ye Cheng seemed surprised by her choice and confirmed again: “Are you sure you want to choose the second one? You have to think about it carefully. Once you choose, you can’t regret it.”
“I’m sure of it!”
Zhu Zhuqing’s eyes were determined, and her entire mental outlook at this moment could be described as reborn and refreshed.
“Good, very good!”
Ye Cheng nodded in satisfaction and said, “I think I understand why my future self would accept you as his disciple.”
“Zhuqing, can you tell me why you chose the second one?” Ning Rongrong asked curiously, “Even if you chose the first one, the family marriage contract would not have any control over you. Why did you take such a big risk and choose the second one?”
“Because I want to gain true freedom!”
At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing seemed to have a sudden enlightenment, and said calmly: “I have thought it through. If I rely on others, I will eventually become their vassal. I want to truly have the ability to control my own destiny!”
“Well said!”
Ye Cheng clapped his hands with a smile and said, “Since you are determined, then as your teacher, I will help you achieve your goal!”
