Chapter 394 Test

"Uncle, this is my classmate Zhou Wen." Wang Lu pointed at Zhou Wen and introduced him, then pointed at the middle-aged man and introduced him: "This is my uncle, you can just call him uncle."

"Uncle." Zhou Wen had no choice but to call out, but he felt a little strange in his heart. He didn't know why Wang Lu brought him along to meet his relatives.

"Sit down." Wang Lu's uncle just said it lightly, and had no intention of communicating with Zhou Wen.

Wang Lu sat down opposite him, pulled Zhou Wen, and motioned him to sit next to him. The two of them looked at the middle-aged man across the table.

"Xiaolu, you should have had enough fun, right? You should go back and practice seriously, and don't let your parents worry about you anymore." Wang Guotao said, staring at Wang Lu.

"Uncle, I'm doing well in learning cultivation at Sunset College. Sunset College is one of the top ten colleges in the Federation. The instructors and teaching resources here are very good..." Wang Lu was interrupted by Wang Guotao before he finished speaking.

"I know the level of Sunset College better than you. The teaching level there is indeed very good compared to ordinary colleges, but it is an academy for the general public after all. There is no way to teach according to your own characteristics and abilities, and it is even more impossible to teach you the secret techniques of our Wang family." Wang Guotao said.

"I don't necessarily have to learn the family secrets. I think this is fine too." Wang Lu bit his lip and said.

"Do you really think it's a good thing to learn those popular things? If that's the case, not only your parents, but also I will be disappointed." Wang Guotao looked at Wang Lu and said.

"Uncle, I want to continue studying in the academy. You love me the most. Please help me." Wang Lu begged.

"I can let you do as you please in other matters, but not in this matter. You have already wasted half a year. If you don't go back and practice seriously, how can you catch up with the progress of other brothers and sisters? You will take over the Wang family in the future. If your strength cannot surpass your peers, how can you convince others in the future?" Wang Guotao said.

"I don't want to take over the Wang family." Wang Lu muttered softly.

"What did you say?" Although the voice was small, Wang Guotao still heard it and his face suddenly turned cold.

"No, I mean, it's actually the same as practicing in the academy. Your progress won't be slower than at home." Wang Lu said, pointing at Zhou Wen and said, "Zhou Wen is my classmate. He also studies in the academy, but he's much better than my brothers and sisters."

"He's from the An family, so the academy will naturally take extra care of him." Wang Guotao obviously knew about Zhou Wen's situation and continued, "And you said he's better than your brothers and sisters, but I'm afraid that's not necessarily true."

Wang Lu was delighted when she heard this, knowing that Wang Guotao was just as she thought, very concerned about face, especially the face of the Wang family.

"If you don't believe me, you can test him. If he is indeed better than my brothers and sisters who practice at home, how about letting me stay in the academy to practice?" Wang Lu took the opportunity to say.

"Since you've brought him here, I'm afraid you won't give up even if I say no." Wang Guotao said, looking at Zhou Wen: "What are you best at?"

"I'm not particularly good at anything." Zhou Wen replied.

Wang Lu quickly interjected, "Uncle, Zhou Wen means he's proficient in everything, so you can test him freely."

"Is this what I mean?" Zhou Wen was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, but he didn't know what to say in front of Wang Guotao.

"Your grandfather has practiced for a lifetime, but he can't claim to be proficient in everything. Do you think these four words are appropriate for a student?" Wang Guotao looked at Wang Lu and said seriously.

After saying this, without paying attention to Wang Lu's reaction, he looked at Zhou Wen and said, "Since you don't have any special skills, I will test you with the Wang family's usual practice questions."

Zhou Wen looked at Wang Lu, and Wang Lu looked at him with pleading eyes, and bowed to Zhou Wen with his hands under the table as if worshiping a god.

"Uncle, please go ahead." Zhou Wen thought about it and realized that he owed Wang Lu a favor, so he had no choice but to help.

Wang Guotao poured a cup of tea, pushed it in front of Zhou Wen, and said calmly, "The most important thing in cultivation is the foundation. It's like building a building. Without a good foundation, you can't build a skyscraper. Even if you manage to build it, it will soon tilt and collapse. Now I'm going to test your foundation."

Zhou Wen looked at Wang Guotao with some confusion, wondering why he was testing him with a cup of tea.

Wang Guotao remained expressionless and poured himself a cup of tea, placing it on the table in front of him.

The table was made of pearwood, more than ten centimeters thick, and quite sturdy. Wang Guotao pressed it casually, and the teacup actually sank directly into the table. The rim of the cup was parallel to the table top, and it looked like it was embedded in it. The cup was not damaged, and not a drop of tea spilled out.

"Uncle, aren't you making things difficult for me? Zhou Wen hasn't practiced our Heart-Destroying Palm. Besides, even among our brothers and sisters, who can achieve the same level as you?" Wang Lu protested immediately.

"If you can't do it, it means that what the academy teaches is not enough, so you should go home and practice." Wang Guotao said lightly.

Wang Lu opened his mouth to protest, but didn't know how to refute Wang Guotao.

"Let me give it a try." Zhou Wen said, looking at the teacup in front of him.

"It's a good thing that young people are willing to try. I won't make it difficult for you. As long as you can make one-third of the teacup sink into the table without breaking, you will pass." Wang Guotao said.

Zhou Wen nodded and reached out to pat the teacup.

"Wait." Wang Lu nervously stopped Zhou Wen, looking at him pleadingly and saying, "Be careful, don't break the teacup. Just get some of the liquid in."

Wang Lu thought that if the teacup was broken, it would be unacceptable. As long as the teacup was not broken, even if it was not one-third sunken, she could bargain with Wang Guotao.

Zhou Wen actually didn't quite understand. Since Wang Lu had such good conditions at home, why did he insist on going to the academy to study? Isn't this going too far?

But it was not in his power to care about Wang Lu's affairs, so he just had to repay the favor.

"Don't worry." Zhou Wen said to Wang Lu, then stretched out his hand and slapped the teacup in front of him.

There was only a cracking sound, and then Wang Lu was in despair.

The table was intact, but the teacup was smashed to pieces by Zhou Wen. Wang Lu felt dizzy and wanted to fall to the ground. He thought to himself, "Did I get kicked in the head by a donkey? I actually thought of bringing Zhou Wen here."

"Young man, many things in this world can't be solved by sheer strength," Wang Guotao said. He then lost interest in Zhou Wen and turned to Wang Lu, saying, "Xiaolu, go to the academy and pack your things. I'll send someone to take you home tomorrow."
