Chapter Thirty-Three: The Monster Among Monsters

  Finishing his breakfast at the fastest speed, Wang Ke almost escaped back to his own room. Teaching Li Ruoxi how to cultivate the Dragon Elephant Technique was impossible. It wasn't that he was selfish, but the Dragon Elephant Technique was his most precious thing. He and Li Ruoxi were not related by blood or marriage, so why would he teach her his most important skill?

  Back in the room, Wang Ke was unwilling to delay any further. From last night till now, he hadn't even had a chance to thoroughly memorize the contents of the printed papers Zhao Mengfeng and Lao Zhao had assigned to him. Now that he's starting to cram, there might still be a glimmer of hope. But if he doesn't seize the time tightly, then not even a glimmer of hope would remain.

  After returning to his room, Wang Ke seemed to have returned to the crazy state of the past few days, and his whole heart was devoted to memorizing by rote.

  Li Ruoxi did not bother Wang Ke again, and Song Yi also learned from Li Ruoxi's mouth that Wang Ke reciting those things had very important matters, so she didn't disturb Wang Ke either.

  In the peaceful life, two days' time has passed in the blink of an eye.

  Wang Ke, after reciting the contents of all ten printed pages fluently in the early morning, had a radiant smile on his face. He hadn't expected that after breaking through his cultivation, his memory would become even more formidable than before. Previously, it took him two and a half days to memorize 10,000 characters, but now, he was able to recite them fluently in just two days. This efficiency left him somewhat astonished himself.

  In the courtyard of the villa, Li Ruoxi was wearing a white sportswear, punching one by one, her hair was wet with sweat, but she didn't intend to stop.

  Wang Ke, who walked out of the villa hall quickly, hesitated for a moment after seeing Li Ruoxi, then took big strides to walk over and said: "Boss, I need to go out for a trip, probably won't be back until tonight."

  Li Ruoxi stopped her boxing movements, a hint of curiosity appearing in her eyes as she looked at the stack of printed papers in Wang Ke's hand, asking: "Can you recite the 10,000 words on it fluently?"

  Wang Ke nodded and smiled: "No problem."

  Li Ruoxi's stunning face showed a disbelieving expression, and she sneered: "How is that possible? It's only been two days, even if you're Einstein, it's impossible to recite 10,000 words fluently! Unless you let me listen, just so I can see if there are any mistakes."

  Wang Ke didn't hesitate and happily handed over the ten printed papers in his hand to Li Ruoxi, nodding as he began to recite them backwards.

  "My god! Is this still human? He actually memorized all the content in reverse within two days? How is this possible? If I gave myself three days, I might have a chance to memorize it too, after all my memory is pretty good. But he did it in two days, and with increasing difficulty, he can recite everything? What kind of monster is this?" As Wang Ke recited, as time passed, Li Ruoxi's face showed more and more shock, until finally her sexy red lips were slightly parted, and her eyes flowed with an unbelievable light, as if she was looking at an alien.

  Wang Ke finished reciting and looked at Li Ruoxi's expression as if she had seen a ghost, and asked in confusion: "Did you really pay attention to what I was reciting? This expression of yours is scary."

  Li Ruoxi shook her head incredulously and said, "Wang Ke, you're a monster among monsters. In just two days, you've managed to recite this 10,000-word text backwards. Did you not sleep at all during these two days?"

  Wang Ke smiled and said, "How is that possible? I sleep for at least six hours every day, and I also cultivate for two hours. My cultivation has just broken through, and I must solidify my cultivation realm. In the past, people all said I was clever, and I thought so too. Having a good memory is a gift from heaven to me, and there's nothing I can do about it!"

  Li Ruoxi looked at Wang Ke's self-satisfied expression with a hint of innocence, and suddenly laughed dumbly: "Alright alright alright, I admit defeat, you can go!"

  Leaving the villa area, Wang Ke took a bus to the antique trading market.

  Zhao Menfeng opens the door early in the morning, and in the first-floor hall, he drinks tea while reading the newspaper. His business here is not very good, sometimes ten days or half a month can't be successfully traded. Of course, if someone comes to buy or sell something, he can make a profit, just like the saying "ten years without opening, opening and eating for ten years".

  In Wang Ke's eyes, Zhao Menfeng was an old man who did not pursue fame or wealth. Otherwise, relying on his abilities, he would not have to live in seclusion here, and a broader stage would be needed for him to show off his skills.

  Walking into the gate of Zi Xing Ju, Wang Ke smiled and came to Zhao Men Feng's face, lightly saying: "Old Zhao, Wang Ke reports to you, the task you gave me is already completed, this is the printout, do you want me to recite it for you now?"

  Zhao Menfeng saw Wang Ke, a smile appeared on his face, but when he heard his words, the smile on Zhao Menfeng's face froze, with a few parts of stupidity, he stared at Wang Ke in shock, that old body suddenly stood up, and exclaimed: "You really can recite it fluently? It's only been two days, you..."

  Wang Ke smiled and said: "Old Zhao, whether it's true or not, I'll recite it for you!"

  Zhao Menfeng quickly took over the printed paper, with a shocked expression, saying: "Well, I'd like to see if you can really recite it fluently or just pretend to be able to."

  After a while, Zhao Menfeng's old face was filled with incredible light. After Wang Ke finished reciting the last word, he shook his head with a bitter smile and sighed: "Wang Ke, I have seen countless outstanding talents, but I have never seen anyone like you who defies the heavens. You are simply a monster among monsters, bringing me too much shock. This time, the task of reciting was not only shortened by one day, but also increased in difficulty. When you were memorizing these things, you must have been influenced by the previous few days' recitation."

  Monster among monsters?

  Wang Ke secretly felt amused, Li Ruoxi had said this before!

  If it were two days ago, he really didn't have the confidence to complete the task, but the breakthrough in his cultivation led to a stronger memory, so he was able to recite fluently in his frantic memorization.

  "Wang Ke, with your memory skills, if you fully devote yourself to learning, I'm afraid it won't take long before there's nothing left for me to teach you. You're very talented indeed! From now on, come over every afternoon and I'll teach you about antiques, artifacts, and Feng Shui. If you have time in the afternoons, study on your own." Zhao Menfeng put away his smile and said seriously.

  Wang Ke's heart was somewhat excited, and he nodded heavily without hesitation.

  Opportunity, he knew he had grasped it.

  "Zhao Lao, shall we begin now?" Wang Ke was unwilling to waste time. Before the emergence of his heterochromatic eyes, he didn't have a sense of urgency, but since their appearance, the ambition and heroic spirit that had been suppressed in his heart for several years could no longer be contained.

  He wants to quickly become a person with real skills, because he's afraid that one day when he wakes up, the reverse effect of his heterochromatic eyes will disappear. If that happens and he doesn't have any real abilities, he'll probably be too late to cry about it then.

  Zhao Menfeng was delighted and began to explain the knowledge of antiques and artifacts to Wang Ke. Because the knowledge of Feng Shui is too vast, he didn't rush to teach it to Wang Ke. Of course, when explaining the artifacts, some Feng Shui knowledge would also be involved, so he would briefly explain a little bit.

  When you're serious, time always flies by quickly.

  At five o'clock in the afternoon, Zhao Menfeng ended his lecture and said with a faint smile: "Today's lesson is here. From tomorrow on, I will teach you these aspects of knowledge in the morning, and you can have free activities in the afternoon. However, before you leave, I'll assign you another task."

  Wang Ke was taken aback and then smiled wryly: "Old Zhao, you're not going to make me recite that 10,000-character text from the printout again, are you?"

  Zhao Menfeng smiled somewhat strangely, nodding his head and saying: "Your guess is correct. This time I'll give you a month's time. You must memorize all the Chinese characters on these ten sheets of printing paper - 10,000 characters in total. No matter which character I ask you about, you must answer as quickly as possible. We'll have an assessment after one month. How about it? Do you have confidence that you can do it?"

  Hiss...

  Wang Ke's eyes widened in shock, his gaze flashing with a look of horror as he exclaimed: "Old Zhao, how is this possible?! 10,000 characters! Not only do you have to recite them all from memory, but also identify the exact character at any given position... This is just too..."

  He wanted to say "pervert", but the word reached his lips and was swallowed back into his belly.

  It turns out that the task arranged by Zhao Menfeng, although it took a lot longer, was more than ten times harder than the previous one of reciting forward and backward!

  "What? This little difficulty has scared you off? No confidence?" Zhao Men Feng said calmly.

  Wang Ke shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I think it's quite scary, but I still have confidence. Old Zhao, you can rest assured, I guarantee to complete the task you assigned to me."

  Zhao Menhong smiled and waved his hand, nodding to indicate that Wang Ke could leave.

  After leaving the gate of Zi Xing Ju, Wang Ke didn't rush back. Since he was already out, he planned to stroll around the antique market and see if he could find any good stuff. After his cultivation breakthrough, he still didn't know what changes had occurred with his heterochromatic eyes. If he could take advantage of this opportunity to pick up some more treasures, wouldn't that be another windfall?

  As he walked past the stalls, Wang Ke used his heterochromatic eyes a total of three times, but found that the things he thought were good were all fakes. This made him feel disappointed and at the same time, truly aware of his own inadequacies.

  After using the Threefold Mystical Eyes three times, he manipulated his true energy to gather in front of him again, but it had no effect. This situation made him even more annoyed.

  At half past six, after the sky had gradually darkened, he left the antique market with a printout in hand.

  Back at the villa, Wang Ke had just walked into the hall when he saw Li Ruoxi sitting on the sofa in the first-floor hall with a notebook in her arms, chatting with someone via video. Because Li Ruoxi was wearing headphones, he couldn't hear what she was specifically talking to the other person about, and he didn't care about this matter either, because it had nothing to do with him.

  Just as he turned around and thought of going back to his own room, Li Ruoxi's voice came from behind him.

  "Wang Ke, wait a minute."

  Wang Ke turned around and listened as Li Ruoxi exchanged a few simple words with the other person before shutting down the computer.

  "What's wrong?" Wang Ke asked.

  Li Ruoxi looked at Wang Ke's worried and bitter expression, puzzled: "What's going on? Didn't you used to be able to recite it fluently? Why are you still looking so bitter? Are you being pressured by someone?"

  Wang Ke shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I wasn't forced to pay off debts, and I also passed the content I recited today. But that senior gave me an even more difficult task."

  Li Ruoxi heard Wang Ke's words and suddenly came to life, curiously asking: "What is the difficult task?"

  Wang Ke repeated the task that Zhao Menfeng had given him before he left, and Li Ruoxi couldn't help but burst out laughing. Suddenly, she felt that this senior was really interesting, what kind of test was this? It's simply torture! No wonder Wang Ke looked so worried, if it were her turn, her expression wouldn't be much better than his.
