Chapter 1685 Mister, what does death feel like?

“Mister, how do you feel about my practice today?” Scarlet Pupil said happily—he felt that he should have slightly improved, with his movements being a little smoother than yesterday.
Song Shuhang smiled, and said, “There’s been a slight improvement.”
After being praised by Song Shuhang, Scarlet Pupil smiled brightly.
“By the way, I’ll be giving you a gift today.” Song Shuhang’s primordial soul held out a rune.
Scarlet Pupil asked, “What gift?”
Song Shuhang solemnly said, “In a sense, it is not an exaggeration to call this gift a divine treasure.”
A divine treasure that was a thing of dreams for those who wanted to learn, a legendary treasure that allowed one to learn while sleeping.
“D-divine treasure?” Scarlet Pupil’s eyes widened, and he took a step back. “But Mister, I can’t afford to pay for such a thing.”
“Pay more attention to what I’m saying. I said that it is a divine treasure to some extent, but that doesn’t mean that it really is a divine treasure. Anyway, I’ll be giving this to you.” Song Shuhang stretched out his hand, his spiritual energy supporting the rune as it fell lightly into Scarlet Pupil’s palm.
Scarlet Pupil let out a breath of relief as he received the rune, and then looked at the ‘Gatling Gun’ pattern on it. He curiously asked, “Mister, what is this?”
Song Shuhang said, “It’s a spear[1].”
Scarlet Pupil raised his head, his dark eyes staring at Song Shuhang intently. “Mister, don’t try to fool me. How could this be a spear?!”
Song Shuhang said, “This is another type of spear. It’s slightly different from the one you know of, but it is also a powerful weapon for killing. Don’t worry about it too much, just brand the rune onto your body first. You can brand it anywhere you want.”
“Brand it onto my body? Anywhere?” Scarlet Pupil scratched his head in slight annoyance. Being given the choice to place it anywhere he wanted made him feel rather troubled. Where should he place it to get the best effect?
After thinking about it, he raised his head and looked at Song Shuhang. “Sir, have you branded such a treasure onto yourself as well?”
Song Shuhang responded, “Yeah.”
“Where did you brand yours, Mister?” Scarlet Pupil asked quickly—although he was a little stupid, he knew that if he couldn’t decide on some things, he should imitate his successful seniors, which would generally prove right.
Song Shuhang rolled his eyes. “On my butt.”
Scarlet Pupil nodded.
Then, he began to take off his pants…
“Quickly stop!” Song Shuhang hurriedly called out. “Idiot, you can brand it on any part of your body, and the arm is a good choice.”
In the sky, Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword was already twitching in laughter. If its main body had been there, it would surely have let out pleasant sword cries.
“Oh.” Scarlet Pupil nodded obediently, and then smacked the rune onto his arm.
The ‘Gatling Gun’ pattern branded itself onto his left arm, shining brightly in the process.
[Ding dong~ Super Learning God System is being activated.]
[Start of system decompression: 1%… 11%… 30%… 70%… 100%.]
[The system has been completely unpacked. Initiating Super Learning God System, please wait patiently.]
During this period, there was also the loud sound of rumbling thunder acting as background music to provide an epic atmosphere.
“Th-this is bad, Mister. There is a voice in my head that keeps talking, but I don’t understand what it’s saying,” Scarlet Pupil called out nervously.
Song Shuhang calmly said, “Don’t worry, that’s simply the process of the ‘Super Learning God System’ being installed. After the installation is complete, it should switch to the language of the Black Dragon World.”
Scarlet Pupil heard this, and let out a breath of relief.
[Super Learning God System has been installed. Do you wish to enter the learning mode?]
This sentence had been translated into the language of the Black Dragon World.
Scarlet Pupil said, “Mister, there’s a voice prompting me to enter the learning mode, what do I do?”
“Choose the ‘Yes’ option.” The corners of Song Shuhang’s mouth curled upwards.
Some beautiful things needed to be passed on from generation to generation.
Such as enjoying the pain of electric shocks.
Scarlet Pupil nodded, and chose the ‘Yes’ option.
Then, two gorgeous bronze gates appeared in front of his eyes.
The two gates were filled with an ancient aura, and there were countless runes on them that Scarlet Pupil could not understand, simply feeling that they were super powerful.
As expected of something that Mister called a ‘divine treasure’. Although I can’t understand it, it feels so powerful, Scarlet Pupil said in his mind.
While he was in thought, his consciousness had entered a huge palace space.
Then, a man made of ‘lightning’ appeared in front of him.
This lightning man’s face was very lifelike, and he looked rather familiar.
Eh? Isn’t this the young version of Mister? Scarlet Pupil thought to himself.
The young version of Mister looks kind… Just that he looks quite ordinary, and lacks the vibe of having experienced the vicissitudes of life. The current Mister gives off a much more temperamental feeling.
The Song Shuhang composed of lightning calmly said, “First, what we are going to learn today is the basic fist technique of the ❮Steel Hands Technique❯. Now, follow me from start to finish.”
Scarlet Pupil loudly replied, “Yes, Mister!”
Although he had already mastered the movements of the ❮Steel Hands Technique❯’s basic fist technique, he felt that he still needed to learn it a few more times from Mister to deepen his impression of the basic fist technique.
“Follow me to practice.” The Song Shuhang composed of lightning began to slowly perform the basic movements of the ❮Steel Hands Technique❯.
Scarlet Pupil also began to practice.
About five minutes later.
“Aaah~” Scarlet Pupil trembled as his consciousness temporarily withdrew from the ‘learning mode’.
He hadn’t been able to keep up with one of the steps in the basic fist technique just now. As a result, the young version of Mister turned around, and sent a lightning ball right at him. The electric current frying him as it exploded directly on his chest!
It had almost shocked him unconscious.
Recalling what had just happened, Scarlet Pupil could feel cold sweat emerge all over his body.
❄️❄️❄️
Not too far away.
Song Shuhang’s primordial soul saw Scarlet Pupil, who was numb from the shocks, and his heart felt an inexplicable sense of relief.
Enjoying things with others truly is better than enjoying things alone.
Before this, he was the only one who would suffer convulsions from electric shocks as he learned the language of the ancient era. Now, there was finally someone like him who would be electrocuted whenever they made a mistake in their cultivation. Song Shuhang’s mental state instantly felt that there was fairness in this world, and he even felt some joy.
When I get the chance, I should ask Senior White to prepare more sets of the ‘Super Learning God System’ for me, and then I’ll give them out to Tubo and the others, Song Shuhang said in his mind.
Good things had to be shared with others.
Scarlet Pupil finally managed to recover while gasping for breath. This might be the first time he had ever experienced such a level of pain in his life.
Song Shuhang squinted while smiling, and said, “How do you feel?”
Scarlet Pupil took a deep breath, glanced at Song Shuhang, nodded, and seriously replied, “Sure enough, the current Mister is more handsome. The mister who had shocked me just now was too young, and lacked temperament.”
“…” Song Shuhang.
You fool, is that what I was asking about?
By the side, Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword cheered on with seriousness. “Shuhang, why don’t you consider using this image in the future? The uncle style truly does seem to suit you a lot more.”
Song Shuhang said, “I’m afraid that I’d look older than my dad if I did so right now. As such, I don’t want to do that.”
When he returned, he would work hard to cultivate and change back to his youthful appearance.
Either that… or he could resort to using the several ‘chaotic age fruits’ he still had on him.
However, he wasn’t in a hurry for the time being.
Song Shuhang explained to Scarlet Pupil, “In addition to learning fist moves, this ‘Learning God System’ will also guide you on the fist technique chants. It will even teach you about the First Stage Realm of the cultivation system, and introduce you to the idea of jumping through the dragon gate. If… you manage to ascend to the Second Stage, then you will be able to learn the complete ❮Steel Hands Technique❯.”
For the fist technique chants in particular, the system should be able to teach them with more efficiency because they were in Chinese.
“Yes, I understand.” Scarlet Pupil nodded, and said, “Thank you for the gift, Mister.”
This gift seemed to have been tailor-made for him. With this ‘Learning God System’, even an idiot like him would be able to master the ‘basic fist technique’ step by step.
Does this Mister really know of my brother Black Pupil? Scarlet Pupil had such a thought in his mind.
“Very well, continue to work hard. I will see you again in a few days.” Song Shuhang gently rubbed Scarlet Pupil’s head.
Scarlet Pupil was a little bit reluctant. “Mister, are you leaving?”
Song Shuhang smiled, and said, “Adults are generally always busy.”
“Mm-hm.” Scarlet Pupil nodded.
A strong person like this Mister should be someone who was very busy every day, someone who would either be practicing or killing evil spirits.
In Scarlet Pupil’s mind, Song Shuhang’s status and image became increasingly grand.
Song Shuhang added, “By the way, if you have any questions about cultivation, you can ask me when I’m available. The Learning God System can’t solve everything. There are some nuances in cultivation that it won’t be able to guide you on, but I should be able to help with them.”
Scarlet Pupil thought for a while, and then suddenly asked, “Then Mister, I have a question right now. Would it be fine to ask you?”
Song Shuhang said, “Thinking is a good thing, ask me anything.”
Scarlet Pupil inquired, “Mister… what does death feel like?”
“Eh? Why are you suddenly asking me this?” Song Shuhang looked down at Scarlet Pupil.
This kind of question was strange coming from the young boy.
With his character, it felt like he would never think about this kind of question in his entire life.
Scarlet Pupil earnestly replied, “I don’t know, but for some time, I would often dream of scenes where I was about to die. Sometimes, I would fall from a high altitude… Sometimes, I was pierced by a spear… Sometimes, I would encounter a cruel evil beast that would bite me to death. However, I don’t know what it feels like to die. Therefore, I would sometimes think of this question.”
Song Shuhang pinched his chin.
Scarlet Heaven Sword tried to do an analysis, and said, “This child might have been under too much pressure and shock in reality, so he couldn’t help but dream of things like these. Deep in his subconscious, he might have thought of seeking death. Fortunately, he is a simple idiot, and didn’t think deeper.”
Song Shuhang curiously asked, “Senior, you’ve studied psychology?”
Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword said, “Some time ago, when I was walking around in your Inner World, I saw Fellow Daoist Turtle studying ‘Psychology’ very seriously. And so, I ended up learning a little bit of it.”
“…” Song Shuhang.
Some time ago, Senior Turtle suddenly found itself pondering emotions and taking a liking to guessing what other people had in mind. So it turned out that it was actually studying ‘Psychology’ very seriously…
Scarlet Pupil looked at Mister with eager eyes.
Song Shuhang smiled slightly. “Young one, you’ve asked the right person. When it comes to experiencing death, none of my peers knows more about this than me!”
