Overall Rating: C-Lower
["Oh... now this is truly, rare."]
Since coming to this world, Leo Young had seen a total of seventeen panels—in the Qin Clan, on the road, and on Zhenwu Mountain. Not a single one had a cultivation level exceeding D-Peak, their martial aptitude fluctuated between 300 and 6,000, and their average Comprehension and Constitution was 14. As for Unique Traits, he hadn't seen a single one. It was almost certain that these characters had minor roles in the game, amounting to little more than passersby.
But this girl he was seeing now was truly unusual. Astonishing Constitution and Comprehension, exaggerated martial aptitude, not to mention a full two Unique Traits... The only thing that seemed off was, without a doubt, the final overall rating.
The Innate trait was directly linked to one's internal energy cultivation and was the common trait that best reflected a martial artist's strength. How could a character with Innate Lv. 7 possibly have a rating of only C-Lower?
Unless, she had indeed suffered some grievous injury that was difficult to heal, causing her overall rating to plummet.
A few thoughts flashed through Leo Young's mind, and he immediately smiled.
"Mm, I've understood it all."
"Really?!" Although the girl in the wheelchair had a sickly appearance, her voice carried some strength. She smiled, "Amazing."
"..." Beside her, the girl with mid-length hair and an expressionless face let out a soft sigh. Her tone was flat, tinged with a faint sense of resignation. "Don't just believe everything he says."
After a slight pause, she looked at Leo Young, her tone distant yet polite. "My apologies. It must be troubling to be suddenly approached by someone like this. As you can see, Daoist master, she has some trouble with her legs and is currently recuperating on Zhenwu Mountain. She is not a strange person."
"Ah, I know," Leo Young replied with a smile. "My senior brother told me there was a person of high status with leg troubles recuperating on Zhenwu Mountain and warned me not to carelessly offend them. That would be you two, right?"
["..."]
This comment left the girl with mid-length hair completely at a loss.
A person of high status... Who says something like that to their face? It wasn't that the term was offensive, it was just inappropriate to say aloud, making things incredibly awkward. Especially since Leo Young had also tacked on the completely superfluous part about being warned...
However, the long-haired girl in the wheelchair didn't seem to care. She asked curiously, "This morning, I saw you. You were practicing martial arts in the square, all different kinds. You only practiced each one once. At first, you were terrible, but by the end, you became very proficient. Did you really learn it completely in just one go?"
In truth, when Leo Young practiced the martial techniques that morning, he looked clumsy most of the time. Due to his lack of stamina, flexibility, and Internal Breath, his movements appeared awkward and ungainly throughout the entire process. This even slightly affected his experience gain—the experience multiplier listed on the technique panel referred to the experience gained from completing a full set with full concentration and sufficient Internal Breath. If one was not serious, lacked Internal Breath, or didn't finish, the experience gain would be reduced.
Therefore, when ordinary disciples watched Leo Young's morning practice, they usually thought he was biting off more than he could chew and would end up mastering nothing. But those with a discerning eye and profound martial aptitude could see something else entirely.
Just like this girl in the wheelchair.
Leo Young casually placed the book he had just finished back on the shelf, then smiled slightly and replied, "Whether I did or not, you already have the answer in your heart. Why ask me to repeat it?"
"Hmm... why indeed?" The girl crossed her arms as if deep in thought. After a moment of contemplation, she said, "Because it's just so hard to believe. A speed like that is truly rare."
"There's nothing hard to believe," Leo Young said. "If it's me, I can do it."
To be fair, this was definitely not an endearing thing to say. The mid-length-haired girl frowned slightly but said nothing. The girl in the wheelchair, however, was completely unfazed. She stroked her chin and smiled, "Ooh, so smug. But you know, I've met people who are even smarter than you."
The mid-length-haired girl's expression remained calm, but her tone grew slightly heavier. "Qingyuan!"
"Eh?" The girl in the wheelchair was taken aback. "I can't even say that? I didn't even mention half a name. Aren't you being too strict?"
"My apologies." The mid-length-haired girl did not respond to the girl in the wheelchair, but spoke flatly to Leo Young. "It is merely what a little girl would say to save face. Please forget it, Daoist master."
At the same time, the girl in the wheelchair looked rather displeased. "What do you mean, 'little girl'? Hexian, you and I are the same age, aren't we?"
"Compared to her, you do seem like a little girl," Leo Young chuckled casually. "I understand. I'll pretend I didn't hear what was just said... On a side note, I have yet to meet anyone smarter than me in my entire life."
"Hmph, hmph." The girl in the wheelchair crossed her arms and chuckled. "Daoist master, you haven't seen much of the world."
"Don't say such impolite things," said the mid-length-haired girl called Hexian. "Auntie Mu, let's go."
"Yes."
The middle-aged woman, who had been silent from the start, began to push the wheelchair.
"Wait, I'm not done talking..." The girl tried to stop them, but when she failed, she wasn't discouraged. She turned her head and shouted, "Luo Qingyuan! My name is Luo Qingyuan! What's your name, Daoist master?"
"Leo Young."
As Leo Young spoke, aware that his name had many homophones, he casually recited:
"'On immortal registers in the swirling heavens, a name is writ on 'Leo' silk of golden flower and cinnabar dye.'"
"'A sage's gaze surveys beyond the eight corners of the world, draped in the starlight of the seven 'Young'.'"
"Is that so," Luo Qingyuan said with a smile. "I understand."
Then, the wheelchair was pushed further away, and a faint voice reached Leo Young's ears.
"Hexian, Hexian, which 'Leo' is it, and which 'Young'?"
A calm voice followed.
"Don't you claim to have read ten thousand scrolls?"
"Those were all martial arts manuals! I've hardly read any poetry..."
