Let them offer their loyalty!-Chapter 1552 - 652: Zhao Ji’s Second Weakness

Fortunately... Qiu Tu has "No Work, No Gain." Even though he doesn't understand, it doesn't stop him from memorizing every step and every explanation in detail.

As for the rest, he just relies on "No Work, No Gain" to finish it.

After finishing the explanation, Zhao Ji, just like last time, took out a jade pendant from her "dimensional space," placed it on her forehead, recorded all her insights, and then handed it to Qiu Tu.

She looked at Qiu Tu coldly, then said, "Everyone has their own unique gifts."

"Just because you have talent in the sword art 'Heaven-Opening' doesn't mean you'll have it with the 'Prison Heaven Seal' as well."

"After all... all-round geniuses like me are rare to begin with."

Qiu Tu: ...666

Zhao Ji didn't care about Qiu Tu's attitude and continued in her cool voice, "Besides... I overheard your female subordinate's report just now."

"You're definitely going to be very busy over the next two days."

"So, don't stress too much over the 'Prison Heaven Seal'; just learn it at your own pace."

Hearing Zhao Ji's words, Qiu Tu's face didn't show any change, but his mind couldn't feel any more awkward.

This kind of concern from Zhao Ji would be perfectly reasonable for anyone else. But for Qiu Tu, it's completely useless.

Because... the greatest effect of his third cheat, "No Work, No Gain," is that it doesn't take any of Qiu Tu's own time. The second biggest effect is that it lets him study and work in "Qiu Tu's peak condition." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

So, as long as Qiu Tu can theoretically learn this "Prison Heaven Seal," then "No Work, No Gain" can guarantee he masters it in the shortest amount of time—plus, it doesn't interfere with anything else he's doing.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but glance at Zhao Ji.

From today's events, Qiu Tu realized Zhao Ji's second "weakness."

Besides loving praise from others, Zhao Ji also has a fondness for people with high talent.

After all, when Qiu Tu's talent was previously judged as not high, Zhao Ji's attitude toward him was quite cold. But now, she's obviously much friendlier.

You could say... that's partly because her Favorability toward Qiu Tu has increased. But then Qiu Tu recalled Zhao Ji's attitude toward Tang Feifei and Qing Lan back then.

When she found out Tang Feifei awakened "Absolute Perception," Zhao Ji's attitude toward her became much warmer as well.

And for Qing Lan, it's even more obvious. Qing Lan's sky-high 90-point talent has always ensured Zhao Ji's attitude toward her was good.

Qiu Tu didn't notice this pattern before, but now with this conclusion, looking back, there were signs everywhere in the past.

'Looks like... if I want to further increase Zhao Ji's Favorability, just flattering her isn't enough. I also need to prove my own talent.'

'And talent has many forms. Zhao Ji clearly likes "learning talent," that is, "comprehension," too.'

'So... as long as I show off my "comprehension" more, I probably can further improve my standing in her mind.'

With this in mind, Qiu Tu made up his mind.

'Go all out and master "Prison Heaven Seal" as soon as possible. That way I can seize control of Man Huang and also raise Zhao Ji's Favorability—two birds with one stone.'

'As for the Puppet Ants… I can't get careless.'

Even though Qiu Tu studied "Prison Heaven Seal" with Zhao Ji for two hours, he hadn't forgotten Zhao Ji's previous reminder.

To stir up a calamity and stump all the Eighth-Rank Deities, these catastrophe beings couldn't possibly be simple.

If they get careless just because they can control the "Puppet Ants," Qiu Tu's side could easily end up in huge trouble.

Plus... it should be remembered, threatening Qiu Tu's side isn't just limited to the "Puppet Ants." That Mysterious Person hiding behind the "Puppet Ants" and continuously providing resources—he must be watched as well.

'Looks like, I really need to power up Guan Xiao quickly. Once she's stronger, we'll be more flexible in dealing with this mess...'

With that thought, after finishing this "study session" and small talk with his "teacher" Zhao Ji, Qiu Tu left the villa.

What he didn't notice was that, as he turned and walked out of the yard, Zhao Ji's gaze kept following him, now with a bit more curiosity and interest.

'I wonder how long it'll take him to learn this pseudo-deity skill.'

'Two months? A month? Surely not half a month, right?'

On that thought, Zhao Ji turned back to her room, sat cross-legged, and continued her cultivation...

In this "Heavenly God Trial," top-tier fighting power is the absolute key.

So, she must grow stronger as fast as possible if she wants to win this "Heavenly God Trial," gain the "Heavenly God's Positional Frame," and retake the "Heavenly God's Seat"...

.....

Time flies; two days pass.

In these two days, Qiu Tu used "No Work, No Gain" to study "Prison Heaven Seal," while also investigating the "Puppet Ants" and that Mysterious Person with Guan Xiao.

"Prison Heaven Seal" is definitely a pseudo-Heavenly God Skill on par with "Heaven-Opening" in terms of difficulty.

Even with Qiu Tu's boosted strength, it still takes around ten days to fully master.
