【Painting the Vermillion Face】
"What thod?" Chen Ling's eyes lit up.
"Do you know that the 【Rank】 of the 【Path of the Sovereign】 is floating?"
"I know." Chen Ling nodded, "Second 【Senior Sister】 told that the 【Path of the Sovereign】 doesn't have a fixed 【Rank】. His 【Rank】 depends on the strength of the people who submit to him."
"That's right, the key lies here."
Ning Ruyu continued, "The link between 'Monarch' and 'Subject' ignores distance. That is to say, as long as there is soone in the world loyal to him, no matter how far apart the two are, this strength boost will take effect...
But this kind of link cannot ignore ti."
"Cannot ignore ti?"
"A dynasty has the monarch and subjects of that dynasty. But if one day, the monarch and the subject are separated into two different tis, then this link will break... A subject who has lost their monarch is a 'remnant of the forr dynasty', and a monarch who has lost their subjects is a 'lonely king without followers'."
Chen Ling pondered for a mont and understood Ning Ruyu's aning. "Are you saying that after that 【Path of the Sovereign】 entered the 【Tiline Save File】, his link with his 'Subjects' in reality was broken?
The reason why he displayed 【Fifth-Tier】 strength within the 【Tiline Save File】 is because he found new 'Subjects' in the 【Tiline Save File】?"
"That's what it ans. Moreover, from the ti the 【Save Point】 started running until now, not many hours have actually passed in that era. No matter how capable he is, it's impossible to accumulate several 'Subjects' in a short ti..."
"There is a high probability that there is only one 'Subject' behind him." A glint of light flashed through Chen Ling's eyes. "As long as we deal with that 'Subject', he will lose his power and can be easily killed."
Ning Ruyu shrugged,
"Theoretically, it's like this... but I still don't recomnd you go in right now."
"Why?"
"To be able to allow the 【Emperor】 to obtain 【Fifth-Tier】 【Combat Power】, the 'Subject' behind him should also be 【Fifth-Tier】. 【Little Junior Brother】, you are only 【Third Tier】 right now. How are you going to fight two 【Fifth-Tier】s?"
Chen Ling opened his mouth, but ultimately couldn't find the words to refute.
"So saying this, I can only wait?"
Ning Ruyu looked at him deeply, hesitating to speak, and ultimately shook his head.
At the sa ti, the two had already walked to the door of 【Third Senior Brother】 【Wenren You】. As soon as they pushed the door open, they slled a rich aroma of food.
"Ruyu ah, didn't I, your Master, tell you to let 【Old Six】 finish class earlier?" Master, holding a rice bowl, said sowhat helplessly, "Now that 【Old Six】 isn't here, this kid 【Third Brother】 refuses to serve the dishes..."
【Wenren You】, who was busy in the 【Kitchen】, glanced at the living room and spoke sullenly:
"It's clearly because you ca too early yourself..."
Master had indeed arrived early. Except for 【Clown】, who was more active than him when it ca to eating and was currently sitting in a chair drooling eagerly, 【Mo Jue】 and 【Luan i】 hadn't arrived yet.
"Yi ya!"
Seeing Chen Ling arrive, 【Clown】 bounded over and gave him a "pa" high-five, which was considered a greeting.
Through getting along in the Red Dust 【Main City】, 【Clown】 and Chen Ling were already extrely familiar with each other. Even during Chen Ling's normal classes, he would grip the corner of the wall to observe, jumping and clapping from ti to ti. The atmosphere could be said to be fully hyped up.
After Chen Ling and Ning Ruyu sat down, it wasn't long before 【Mo Jue】 and 【Luan i】 pushed the door open and entered one after another. Everyone began their daily dinner.
"By the way, how is 【Old Six】's basic skill practice going?" Master took a few bites of rice, seemingly rembering sothing.
"【Singing】, 【Speaking】, and 【Acting】 have already been learned, and the secret thods have been basically mastered. Right now, only the 【Fighting】 secret thod is left unlearned." Chen Ling answered.
"Learning the 【Fighting】 secret thod can easily carry the risk of life-threatening danger. I plan to let 【Little Junior Brother】 learn it a bit later." Ning Ruyu explained, "However, 【Little Junior Brother】's basic skills are absolutely solid."
Hearing this, Master nodded slightly,
"Not bad, even faster than I expected... Since the foundation has been firmly laid, it's also ti to start teaching you 'that'."
Hearing this, the other senior brothers and sisters seed to have thought of sothing, and their eyes lit up.
"That?"
Chen Ling froze for a mont, then said, "Is it the 【Theatre Dao Secret thod】?"
Chen Ling bowed and entered the 【Ancient Vault of the Drama Path】 exactly to learn the rumored 【Theatre Dao Secret thod】. According to Master, this secret thod could dispel the 【Bewildernt】 in his heart, and even in the future, help him resist the 【Divine Path Backlash】...
Chen Ling would not forget the images he saw through the 【Mirror of True Self】... That 【Bewildernt】 hiding deep within his consciousness, enough to swallow all his spirit and reason, was just like a ti bomb, possible to detonate at any ti.
This secret thod, Chen Ling absolutely had to learn.
"That's right."
Master put down his bowl and chopsticks. A rare seriousness and strictness erged in his eyes,
"Now your basic skills are solid enough, and you have already found an 'anchor point'. You can try to unlock this secret thod... Unlike the four major basic secret thods of the 【Theater Dao】, this is a unique secret thod created by , your Master, and it is also the essence summarized from my entire life's experiences."
Towards the other four major basic secret thods, Master's attitude had always been casual. To be suddenly so solemn now was enough to prove the weight of this secret thod.
"This secret thod, was it created by Master himself?" Chen Ling was sowhat astonished.
He had always thought that the existence of secret thods was an extension of the 【Divine Pathways】. For example, the 【Requiem Ballad】, 【Cloud Step】, and 【True Word】 he had learned now all corresponded to the basic skills of opera. But Chen Ling indeed hadn't considered the possibility that a secret thod could be self-created.
"It was indeed created by Master himself." 【Mo Jue】 nodded slightly. "Moreover, even we haven't learned this secret thod."
Hearing this sentence, Chen Ling was even more shocked,
"None of the senior brothers and sisters have learned it?"
Ning Ruyu, 【Luan i】, and the others looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
"Indeed we haven't."
In Chen Ling's impression, these five senior brothers and sisters were already existences at the apex of the 【Path of the Actor】. Their talent naturally went without saying. Furthermore, they were the 【Disciple】s who had followed Master the longest. In terms of friendship, it was impossible for Master not to teach them...
Just when Chen Ling was deeply puzzled, Master chuckled lightly:
"Of course they don't need to learn it. Because the inspiration for this secret thod ca from them."
Chen Ling froze in place.
Master's self-created secret thod, the inspiration... actually ca from the senior brothers and sisters?
Chen Ling felt it was sowhat strange. No matter how he looked at it, the logic of this sentence didn't seem to flow smoothly. After all, it was always the master teaching the disciple. Since when did the master learn from the disciple?
More and more doubts occupied Chen Ling's mind. His interest in this secret thod grew increasingly rich, and he couldn't help but ask:
"What exactly is this secret thod?"
Master paused for a mont and slowly spat out four words:
"——【Painting the Vermillion Face】."
