Julian Xue naturally didn't know that this technique was specifically designed for the Blood Barbarian Clan, allowing them to fully utilize their strengths.
Moreover, when the Blood Barbarian Clan cultivates this technique, their cultivation speed increases.
If Julian Xue cultivates this technique, barring any surprises, he should be able to reach the second level of the Transforming Realm within three months. With the technique's ability to tap into his physique, his combat power should easily surpass the third level of the Transforming Realm.
By then, if Julian Xue still can't defeat Isaac Hua in a spar, it would be his own problem.
However, Julian Xue was unaware of all this. He only knew that this was definitely a powerful body cultivation technique, and being able to learn it was like a huge pie falling from the sky onto his head.
After finding out Terra Su's name, Julian Xue hurriedly bid farewell to Terra Su and returned to his residence.
After all, Julian Xue was injured again in the recent battle and needed to go home to rest and recover.
"Terra Su, do you really need subordinates?"
After Julian Xue left, Gu Qianyin asked.
"No, I don't."
Terra Su smiled. In fact, he had no interest in making Julian Xue his subordinate. He only said so to preserve Julian Xue's dignity.
Terra Su understood well that people like Julian Xue, who came from humble backgrounds, were often more sensitive and unwilling to accept charity. So, Terra Su deliberately made it seem like he was offering Julian Xue a subordinate position, making it look like a transaction, so Julian Xue could accept his help more comfortably.
"Everything in the world is easy to handle, except for human relationships."
Terra Su did this mainly to repay a favor owed to the old patriarch of the Blood Barbarian Clan from his past life.
"Let's go, I'll teach you the fourth level of the Five-Colored Divine Sound when we get back."
Terra Su waved to Gu Qianyin, and the two of them headed towards the dormitory area.
…
Soon, the day of the Crown Prince's boat banquet arrived.
In the evening, Terra Su brought Gu Qianyin to the location of the boat banquet.
The boat banquet was held at night, with the boat floating on the lake. Guests could enjoy drinking and revelry while admiring the lanterns on the lake, a favored banquet style among the dignitaries of Anyang City.
Thus, the location of the boat banquet was set on a large lake outside the eastern suburbs of the city.
From afar, one could see the large boat docked at the shore, adorned with intricate carvings and surrounded by gold and jade, making one marvel at the wealth of Marquis Anyang's estate. Even for a banquet hosted by the Crown Prince, the extravagance was remarkable.
Terra Su and Gu Qianyin approached the entrance of the boat, where several guards stopped them.
"Please present your invitation. Only those with an invitation can enter the banquet."
The guards were polite, and it had to be said that the staff trained by the Crown Prince's estate were more competent than those elsewhere, at least not looking down on unfamiliar faces.
Just as Terra Su was about to take out his invitation, a piercing voice came from afar, "Am I seeing things, or is that Terra Su?"
As the voice spoke, several Silver Medal students from Anyang Academy approached.
Among them, Lu Can was being surrounded by the others.
One of the students looked at Terra Su and couldn't help but sneer, "Terra Su, how did you end up here? Are you thinking of attending the Crown Prince's boat banquet?"
"He must have overheard us talking about attending the Crown Prince's boat banquet and got envious, so he followed us."
"Hahaha…" One of the students couldn't help but laugh, looking at Terra Su with a mocking gaze, "Terra Su, don't you know you need an invitation to attend the banquet? What are you doing here without one?"
"Pfft, this is hilarious! Coming here without an invitation!"
"Hillbilly, do you think this is just any place? This is the Crown Prince's boat banquet, not somewhere any Tom, Dick, or Harry can enter!"
The Silver Medal students took turns mocking Terra Su, their voices loud enough to draw the attention of others attending the banquet.
"What's going on?"
"Seems like someone is trying to sneak into the banquet without an invitation."
"Trying to board without an invitation, no wonder he's being laughed at. This is the Crown Prince's banquet, do you think they'd let someone without an invitation sneak in?"
Everyone looked at Terra Su with disdain, in their eyes, he had become a fool trying to crash the party without an invitation.
After laughing enough, the Silver Medal students took out their invitations.
One student even deliberately waved his white invitation in front of Terra Su, saying, "Take a good look, this is an invitation! But someone like you, a hillbilly from a humble background, will never receive an invitation to the Crown Prince's banquet in your lifetime!"
They were smug, feeling a sense of vindication.
Previously, during the gathering at the small square, even their strongest, Lu Can, could only tie with Terra Su, which was a humiliation for them. The frustration and anger were palpable.
But now, seeing Terra Su blocked from the Crown Prince's banquet due to lack of an invitation, their confidence was restored. So what if Terra Su had some skills? He was still a hillbilly, a pauper, with a lowly background, barred from high society.
And they were all genuine scions of noble families, with endless cultivation resources in the future, destined to surpass a humble Martial Practitioner like Terra Su.
"Brother Lu, don't bother with this hillbilly, let's get on the boat, the banquet is about to start."
Lu Can also glanced at Terra Su with a faint smile, a hint of mockery in his eyes, and said, "Terra Su, if you wanted to attend the boat banquet, you could have said so earlier. Maybe a few days ago, I could have helped you get an invitation."
"But now it's too late, I can't help you anymore."
Saying this, Lu Can feigned a regretful expression, as if he genuinely sympathized with Terra Su.
"Did you guys misunderstand something? Did I ever say I didn't have an invitation?"
Terra Su shook his head, these people were too fond of jumping to conclusions.
"Tsk tsk tsk, no way, are you saying you have an invitation?"
The Silver Medal students looked at Terra Su as if watching a joke. How could someone from a humble background possibly have an invitation to the Crown Prince's boat banquet?
"Kid, don't be stubborn, claiming to have an invitation when you don't. Getting slapped in the face is painful."
"Why don't you show us your invitation, let us all admire it?"
They looked at Terra Su with amusement, convinced that he was just being stubborn, and wouldn't be able to produce an invitation.
