Chapter 339: Wu Cheng’s Achievements
If it were someone else, Wu Cheng would likely not suffer severe punishment because the Tomorrow Society needed his power.
But there are no "what ifs."
Ming Waiyang is a genius capable of shouldering the future of the Tomorrow Society. They absolutely could not afford to suffer losses over minor issues and distort Ming Waiyang’s worldview.
All they could say was…
This is the flexibility of humanity.
Once the teacher saw that the situation was resolved, he quickly left.
When Yun Ye set up the sand table on the table in the activity room, the others took their seats. Only then did they surprisingly notice something unusual.
The activity room showed no signs of damage…
No wonder the adults paid so much attention to Waiyang.
His power was too strong; that seemingly powerful young man hadn’t harmed the activity room even in the slightest.
"By the way, who is this person? How dare he act out in school?"
Yong Fa leaned back in his chair, hands behind his head, and said disgruntledly.
"Indeed, while he may not have intended to kill us, he surely hurt us. This should be serious in the Tomorrow Society, right?"
Everyone turned to Yang Yu.
Among those present, it seemed only she knew something.
"He is Wu Cheng, a very famous genius," Yang Yu replied, showing a hint of confusion. "From what I know, Wu Cheng has always been portrayed as a role model; he is the youngest Second Rank. I never expected the real person to have fallen to this extent."
Moreover, he attacked Waiyang. Did he intentionally want to eliminate his own Second Rank position?
She had heard First Rank members mention Waiyang…
The Child of Tomorrow!
"Is this really a role model? There are only nine Second Rank positions, and someone like him occupies one? It’s incomprehensible!" Wu Xianzhang spoke with frustration; the anger from before hadn’t easily subsided.
"Indeed, although there are few cultivators in the Tomorrow Society, it’s simply unreasonable to let someone like him become a Second Rank." Tian Jialun frowned, as he had encountered many Second Ranks, all of whom commanded great respect, but this one was truly unacceptable.
"His blood isn’t fake," Yong Fa suddenly interjected.
"What do you mean?" Everyone glanced over.
"Heh, you call me a fool, but you can’t think this through either," Yong Fa said with a mocking expression, feeling quite pleased with himself.
"Idiot! We’re just too lazy to think; you get all smug just by having a moment to shine!" Yang Yu punched him directly.
Yong Fa immediately begged for mercy, quickly stating, "Alright, I’ll tell you! He’s a seasoned warrior; he was already a Second Rank before he became like this! You’ve got the cause and effect all wrong! You should know the importance of talent; if someone is a genius, their Growth Speed is far beyond what time can measure!"
Cause and effect reversed?
The group suddenly awakened to the truth.
Indeed, geniuses were not uncommon in the Tomorrow Society, and age meant nothing.
Just like Ming Waiyang, who had only been in school for a month but could render a First Rank teacher like Yang An powerless, completely unable to win.
As the children of Class One, they all understood the importance of talent.
Even in the Tomorrow Society, talent directly determined future achievements.
Otherwise, Yang An could not have continued being a teacher; this was a barrier they could not cross at the moment.
Spiritual Roots, Spirit Sense, physique, comprehension.
To progress on the path of cultivation, one needed at least one type of talent. Without it, no amount of effort would matter; their potential would be forever limited.
As second or even third-generation descendants of cultivators, their talents were already much stronger than their parents. Yet, among the entire Class One, only one or two could be called geniuses in the outside world. If not for the Extreme Spiritual Law established by the founder, most of them would have no need for cultivation—they were simply too weak and could not make a difference.
Wu Cheng’s ability to summon the phenomenon of the great sun clearly showed that he had exhibited amazing talent earlier and had also recognized the path of tomorrow.
If not, the Tomorrow Society would not invest vast resources to cultivate him.
But people cannot always remain unchanged.
…
In the evening, Yun Ye returned home.
As soon as he entered the house, Mingqi and Yufeng in the living room stood up, glaring at Yun Ye as if they were tigers watching their prey—
Their expressions certainly matched that intent.
"What’s wrong?"
Yun Ye asked.
"How can you ask why?! Do you know how important Wu Cheng is to the Tomorrow Society? He is a genius who can fight in the spiritual realm against those in the law realms!"
Mingqi’s mouth twitched.
"Is that so? He seems pretty weak to me," Yun Ye replied.
"That’s because his mind is unstable; he was released from a sealing technique… hissing."
Mingqi’s gaze fell on Yun Ye’s head, and he immediately took a sharp breath.
He remembered that ever since starting school, Yun Ye had been wearing a top-tier Sealing Device.
Theoretically, the power Yun Ye could use was even less than Wu Cheng’s. In that case, how could Yun Ye defeat Wu Cheng in one strike?
No wonder the higher levels of the Tomorrow Society said nothing and just took Wu Cheng away, throwing him to that crazy woman!
"Waiyang, tell me honestly, how strong is your spirit control now?" Mingqi asked in a serious tone.
"Early Stage Four."
Yun Ye replied.
"What?!"
Mingqi and Yufeng exclaimed in unison.
Early Stage Four was the entry-level definition Yun Ye had set, characterized by spirit control reaching the level where one could transform one power into ten thousand, and it ensured that the spirit energy would operate without extra loss.
Theoretically, it was possible to use one unit of spirit energy to create an effect a hundred thousand times greater—a state of absolute perfection.
The reason the two of them were speechless was not only because of the power of this state but also because only two people had ever achieved it in the history of the Tomorrow Society.
One was the current Seventh Seat, a figure in the law realms who could not be compared to ordinary cultivators.
The other was a mysterious individual whose identity remained unknown to them.
Mingqi only knew that this person made great contributions to the Tomorrow Society and that the Nine Lives Spirit Law originated from him, but he didn’t know anything about his name, appearance, or past.
From the entire history of the Tomorrow Society, it was clear that fourth-tier spirit energy was not just powerful; it represented a realm that was hard for mortals to reach.
"Ming Waiyang is only three years old. Have we given birth to a divine child?!"
Yufeng was lost in thought for a long time.
Such a level in spirituality was enough for Yun Ye to battle without cultivating Spiritual Law by crossing realms directly.
With this kind of spiritual level, paired with the Silent Spiritual Law, it was no wonder that even a genius like Wu Cheng stood no chance and was easily suppressed.
But then, their expressions changed repeatedly.
As they exchanged glances, they knew they were thinking along the same lines.
"What’s wrong?"
Yun Ye had the Spirit Law talent of precision, so he could accurately discern emotional fluctuations. In a single sentence, he realized that Mingqi and Yufeng were filled with great worry and fear.
Where did this emotion come from? Yun Ye ultimately could not read minds and could not know.
"Ah… Waiyang, you’re very smart, and we have no need to hide this from you."
Mingqi sighed, held Yufeng’s hand, and sat back down in the chair. "Do you know the sequence Wu Cheng belongs to and what tasks they execute?"
"I don’t know."
"That’s right; most people don’t know. But as your cultivation level grows, you will need to know. Wu Cheng belongs to the Second Rank, representing the military force of the Tomorrow Society. They carry out high-difficulty, extremely dangerous missions, and it is the department with the highest mortality rate within the Tomorrow Society. Wu Cheng joined the Second Rank at six years old and, in just four years, went from Sixth Rank to Second Rank, becoming the ace cultivator of the Second Rank. This year, he’s twelve years old and has already slain several figures in the law realms with his own strength."
Yufeng took over the conversation, continuing, "And what does this represent? It means Wu Cheng has experienced countless battlefields and killed innumerable enemies. Thanks to people like Wu Cheng, Tomorrow City can exist and support so many children to grow and cultivate."
"But executing such high-difficulty missions for a long time can warp a person’s mind. Given Wu Cheng’s young age, the chances of such a situation arising are much higher than for others. The more members of the family of slaughter he encounters, the more pronounced the darkness in his heart becomes."
"What do you mean?"
Yun Ye asked, knowing full well what was coming.
"The families of slaughter feed off countless people’s blood to sustain themselves. Those at the top possess the strongest powers, the longest lifespans, can dominate the lives of others, and enjoy all luxuries—truly the utmost of gaining without labor."
Yufeng paused, "Seeing such individuals is far too common, and Wu Cheng will naturally feel that it is unfair. He possesses such strong abilities; why should he risk his life to fight for the Tomorrow Society, only to abide by countless rules and give his spoils to unrelated strangers?"
"Wu Cheng thinks this way, so darkness keeps surfacing in his mind, and while his personality becomes increasingly cold, the world he sees turns darker as well. He has even seriously injured people multiple times over minor disagreements. The Tomorrow Society, which masters the Nine Lives Spirit Law, has no secrets from Wu Cheng, and they are already aware that he is likely to betray them soon."
"However, Wu Cheng’s achievements are genuine. Before he betrays them, the Tomorrow Society will not deal with him. Yet you have interrupted this process, forcing the Tomorrow Society to punish him early, and you even displayed strength stronger than Wu Cheng’s."
Both of them sighed.
"Could it be that the Tomorrow Society wants me to replace Wu Cheng?"
Yun Ye asked in surprise.
"…It is possible; the Tomorrow Society is currently lacking combat power."
That was the concern they shared.
Although Ming Waiyang was indeed extraordinarily powerful, they were still uneasy. Anything could happen on the battlefield, and Yun Ye was just an ordinary person; a single mistake could lead to his demise. They did not want Ming Waiyang to step onto the battlefield so soon.
"Is our situation already this difficult? Normally, we shouldn’t have to consider this, especially given my strong talent," Yun Ye said.
"No, on the contrary, the situation is very favorable. It is precisely because of this that the Tomorrow Society wants to send you out. If it were a dangerous period, Tomorrow City would be completely sealed, and no one would leave."
Mingqi denied this notion.
"That’s right; our situation is indeed favorable. We have captured several strongholds and are eager to achieve more victories. The atmosphere is far less oppressive than it was five or six years ago, making this the best time to cultivate successors. Other time periods would be pure folly."
Yufeng added.
"…"
Yun Ye fell into deep thought.
Since the Tomorrow Society dared to attack the strongholds, it showed that the opportunities created by the Fourth Rank were indeed making it impossible for the two sects to manage the outside world, right?
