For example, Old Master Gu Qilin explicitly told Gu Shen that losing control was a type of attack triggered by ominous forces.
The more stable the spirit usually is, the easier it is to resist losing control.
points, that’s a very high score already.
Those who reach 90 points are tough people with solid cultivation...rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. However, this scoring system, besides evaluating spirit stability, doesn’t have much reference value. A Transcendent with a mental stability score of 85 points is most likely just a weak newcomer who has just begun cultivation and knows nothing.
The further you go, the stronger the abilities you possess, and the more powerful spiritual power is needed to control it all.
In Changye, applying for the second breathing method also requires passing the "Spirit Test" of the Security Committee to determine the score.
"Brother Gu, congratulations."
Carrying the report, Du Wei went straight to the building’s detention room.
He sincerely congratulated, "Judging from this report... in at most 45 hours, you will be able to leave the building."
"How does the report look?"
Gu Shen asked curiously.
"It’s the most beautiful report in history," Du Wei admitted earnestly, looking incredulously at Gu Shen and saying seriously, "You got a 99 in the spirit stability rating. If you were to remain detained here after this, then every Transcendent in Snow Forbidden City should be arrested."
"I gave the 99 points," Chu Ling said slowly. "The missing point is to prevent you from becoming proud."
He was not in a hurry to leave, staying here for another two days wouldn’t hurt.
The incident on Mu Street was basically settled, with Luo Yu handling the aftermath.
What’s most important is that the treatment here is very good.
The Security Committee arranged a single room just for him.
There is a bed, a quilt, heating, and even virtual glasses available for connecting to Deep Sea, making it seem almost like vacation.
But... for some reason, Gu Shen felt somewhat unaccustomed to not seeing an interrogation table in the detention room.
He was different from the normally detained criminals.
All his access was retained.
And he could connect with "Deep Sea" at any time.
It means... just changing the place for cultivation.
After Du Wei left, Gu Shen quietly circulated his Spring Breathing alone.
There are no unexpected incidents.
These 45 hours will pass by very quickly.
"Meeting you in such a place... it’s something I never expected."
In front of the courtyard of the Wine God’s abode.
Zhu Wang spoke quietly, then looked towards the man in the wheelchair beside him.
Gu Lushen appeared indifferent.
This was their second encounter of the day.
The first time was on the street.
At that time, Zhu Wang simply thought that Gu Lushen acted because Gu Qilin intervened... Reflecting on the past year, he realized the New Faction of the Gu family had extended several olive branches to him.
But... the waters at the Gu family are too deep, and he is self-aware.
He can’t afford to offend either side.
Zhu Wang didn’t want to get involved in this mess... Thus, he had to politely decline the multiple warm invitations from the New Faction.
Many things from the past year have become clear.
The God of Wine had only been living in Snow Forbidden City for half a year.
And Gu Lushen... may have been in contact with Central Continent for much longer.
It had long been heard that one of Changye’s five great families breached the rules of yore, seeking power from the Outer Continent to break the balance... Zhu Wang thought it was just a rumor, nonsense, but now he realized.
The biggest undercurrent lies beneath the deepest rocks.
To break the rules, why need so many people?
One or two are enough.
"Grand Judge, sir, I’m not sure what you’re talking about... I am just strolling around inadvertently and happened to come here," Gu Lushen said indifferently, "Life is full of such encounters."
Zhu Wang fell silent.
After the turmoil on Mu Street died down.
Gu Lushen pushed his wheelchair away, and the two did not interact much, only to appear in the courtyard of the God of Wine half an hour later.
Seeing Zhu Wang’s silent expression.
Gu Lushen suddenly laughed, "Just kidding... you don’t really think anyone wants to be a perennial good guy, do you?"
No one would stand up for a "stranger" without a reason.
Zhu Wang had refused so many kind gestures from the Gu Family New Faction.
He, Gu Lushen, should have not intervened!
Gu Qilin is a true ruthless man... if the situation hadn’t been controlled today, he really would have made a move.
"That old man is fierce by nature; if not for Brother Zhu, I would definitely not have gone to the scene today," Gu Lushen said with self-deprecating laughter. "You should know that for years, people have said... my legs were broken by that old man."
Zhu Wang had heard such talk as early as when the Gu family internal strife erupted.
At first, he believed it a bit.
But later, as the New Faction came to prevail... and the old man had no choice but to concede, everyone realized that the incident of Gu Lushen’s broken legs might not be so straightforward.
Zhu Wang had always thought that the splitting of the Gu family was because Gu Lushen was strong enough.
Maybe it’s not as simple as that.
Being able to suppress the Old Faction and apply constant pressure over a long time...
How long had Gu Lushen maintained contact with this person from Central Continent?
"Right now... I don’t feel like talking."
Zhu Wang sighed lightly, his gaze flickering.
He stood in the shadows of the alleyway, a breeze came by, fluttering his long Grand Judge robe.
The words of justice fluttered in the intangible gloom,
Swallowed by darkness.
