Novel Bin Chapter 294 - Provocation
"28%…?" Elder Zuwo couldn\'t help but rub his eyes. He thought that his eyes were playing tricks on him but he realized it wasn\'t.
Someone had actually comprehended the ancient text to the extent of almost tying up with the legendary figures in the past.
Remember, the three legendary figures had comprehended the ancient text by 30%. And one must also take note that they were already gods and progenitors by that time!
Yet, this young child at a tender age of 5, managed to comprehend it by 28%? Only 2% away from the highest comprehension rate!
This feat was so unbelievable!
Who was this kid? Just how enermous his talent was to achieve this kind of feat?
Everyone was thinking the same. They knew that the stone wouldn\'t create a mistake so they believed what they saw. In fact, if one would think about it more, this wasn\'t an impossible thing to pull off. After all, this was God\'s Realm. The home of crouching tigers and hidden dragons.
Who knew what kind of powerhouse did this young kid came from?
Brother Yu was also surprised when he saw this. To think that he was utterly defeated by a kid! That\'s too shameful to think of since he had basked himself in praise and compliments a while ago. What\'s more, he even arrogantly told everyone that 8% was the best comprehension rate a member of the younger generation could get.
But now, this kid slapped him hard on the face! It\'s unforgivable.
While Brother Yu was seething his teeth in rage, Xiu\'er had already finished his business and returned to where Jin Rou was.
"Nicely done." Jin Rou pat the child\'s head and praised him, "If you just got the single word correct, you might have gotten 31% comprehension rate."
His words were heard by everyone since all of the attention was focused on this child. Hearing those, they couldn\'t help but look at Jin Rou with invading gazes. Some had activated their eyes to gauge the strength of Jin Rou. However, they couldn\'t find anything as if he was a mortal barely living.
In fact, the life signs of Jin Rou was so weak that they had seen him as someone who\'s near death.
Of course, this was just a facade. Anyone who knew Jin Rou would know immediately that he\'s someone they never expected him to be.
"Hello there, Daoist Friend." Elder Zuwo walked over to the two and initiated a conversation, which surprised the crowd even more.
This Elder Zuwo was a prideful entity, though he appeared to be an amiable old man, they knew how serious and proud this Elder Zuwo was. As a matter of fact, only beings at the progenitorial and godly level warranted such a personal greeting from him. After all, this old man had an unfathomable and mysterious background.
But now, he initiated a talk with someone not on the level as gods and progenitors?
However, if you think about it more, one would realize that this action was founded and reasonable.
Just think about it, a child prodigy had appeared out of the blue who was able to comprehend almost on par with the legendary figures. How shocking was that?
"Hello, Elder Zuwo." Since the other party had greeted them with a kind intention, Jin Rou also gave the same.
Elder Zuwo smiled and was about to say something when a provocative voice sounded, "Wait Elder Zuwo."
This was Brother Yu, of course.
"Hmm?" Elder Zuwo was displeased by how Brother Yu interrupted him. However, he still held back and smiled, "What\'s the matter, Young Friend Yu?"
"That Daoist Friend over there has not yet tried to comprehend the ancient text, right?" Brother Yu asked.
Hearing this, Jin Rou could already tell where this was going and what Brother Yu was trying to imply.
"What are you, Little Friend Yu, trying to tell us?" Elder Zuwo was still smiling. However, deep inside, he almost had the urge to shut Brother Yu by a gag.
"I\'m saying that, since his so— little brother there had comprehended the ancient text in an amazing way, then there\'s no way that his big brother will fall behind right?" Brother Yu smiled. Though he looked like he was praising Jin Rou, in reality, he was just digging a pit for Jin Rou to jump off.
"So you want this Daoist Friend to try comprehending the ancient text, is what you\'re getting at." Elder Zuwo said.
"That, precisely." Brother Yu nodded in affirmation, "I am curious about just how amazing the big brother is when the little brother is already this amazing. Besides, everyone here had tried their best to comprehend the ancient text, so wouldn\'t it kind of a bit unfair for us if someone wouldn\'t do the dao comprehension?"
His argument sounded logical and reasonable. However, Elder Zuwo said, "There is no rule stating that everyone who came here must do the dao comprehension, Little Friend Yu. It is up to the concerned person if he wants it or not."
"That\'s true." Brother Yu looked like helpless and shrugged his shoulders, "Well, then. I have nothing to say since it is the case. If the big brother is afraid, what can I say?"
Little by little, Brother Yu\'s intention was getting clearer and transparent for everyone.
It seemed that he had a grudge against that unknown man.
"Little Friend Yu, you must be careful—" Elder Zuwo wanted to say something when Jin Rou pat the old man\'s shoulder, "Elder Zuwo, let me."
Seeing this, Elder Zuwo backed off and let Jin Rou take care of his own business.
"I am afraid, you say?" Jin Rou looked at Brother Yu and said with contempt, "Why would I be afraid of comprehending an ancient text? It\'s not like it would do me harm here. And besides, aren\'t you shaming yourself here? You are a member of the Burnfield Stone Sect, yet you only amount to this much, 8%? I don\'t know if you are shaming yourself or your sect. Oh, perhaps you are shaming both."
