Charlie Wade was genuinely astonished by Song Ruyu’s remarkable ability to enter the realm of transformation at just sixteen. If he were to inform Wanlong Hall about this, he feared it would bring shame to everyone there.


    Wan Pojun, already recognized as a martial arts prodigy, only reached the dark realm in his twenties with assistance.


    For him to achieve a breakthrough at the age of forty would be considered an extraordinary feat.


    Yet, Song Ruyu not only entered the dark realm at sixteen but also grasped the truth in her early twenties!<fn5761> ?? ??? ???? ?? ???? ???? ???????s, ????s? ??s?? FindN()vel</fn5761>


    Such talent and strength were unprecedented in Charlie Wade’s experience.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    In his surprise, Charlie Wade couldn’t help but ask, “You entered the realm of transformation at sixteen. Did you have guidance from a master or perhaps an opportunity?”


    Song Ruyu contemted for a moment, then shook her head, replying, “No, I merely practiced a martial arts mental method simr to those used by the death warriors and cavalry guards of the Poqing Society.”


    Curious, Charlie Wade inquired further, “Did the Poqing Society assist you in any way?”


    “Not at all,” Song Ruyu replied. “I trained diligently ording to the mental method. Even without guidance, I faced no significant challenges. My breakthroughs came quite smoothly. Within two to three years, I reached the Great Perfection of the Bright Realm, and in three to four years, I transitioned to the Dark Realm. After another three or four years, I broke through to the Transformation Realm. While many say that progressing through martial arts realms is as hard as climbing to the heavens, for me, it all unfolded naturally.”


    Charlie Wade sighed, “Sometimes, it feels like people belong to different species. Your martial arts aplishments are truly unparalleled in my lifetime.”


    With a hint of humility, Song Ruyu replied, “Even though my martial arts skills are formidable, they are still a dimension lower than cultivation. No matter how strong a martial arts master is, they can’tpete with guns and missiles. In front of you, Sir Wade, I cannot resist at all.”


    Charlie Wade then prompted her, “How did you achieve enlightenment? Please share the entire story with me.”


    Song Ruyu exined, “I never imagined I would have the chance to be enlightened. I understood that within the Poqing Society, martial arts masters hold significant status, while monks are even more revered. For coteral family members like me, whether male or female, the best path for advancement is to be a monk and serve the Poqing Society. This is the only way to truly change the family’s fate.”


    She continued, “It’s not particrly difficult for the Wu family to be monks. To strengthen the family of the Lord of the Crown and enhance their survival capabilities, the Lord of the Crown selects one or two of the most talented children from the Wu family every few years to assist them in achieving enlightenment.”


    “After all, achieving enlightenment is an incredibly challenging endeavor. Without external support, it would be a miracle for the Wu family to produce even one self-enlightened individual in hundreds of years. Therefore, to ensure a higher proportion of strength from his own family, Lord Ying utilizes his cultivation and elixirs to aid the Wu family’s descendants in their quest for enlightenment.”


    “However, the cost of forcibly helping someone attain enlightenment is quite substantial. Even Lord Ying cannot rapidly train cultivators inrge numbers. Typically, it takes an average of two to three years to train one or two entry-level cultivators, and that is already pushing the limits.”
