Cultivating with Bragging System-Chapter 612 - 283: Gathering to Boast, Danqing Creation Technique! (8000 words)_5
As these words were spoken, the corners of everyone's mouths twitched. What an audacious claim. The boast was simply too outrageous.
A Great Emperor? How many years had it been since a Great Emperor had last emerged from the Nine Heavens?
However, this exact statement elicited a response from the Ancient Stele. A beam of light, dazzlingly brilliant, fell upon Yu Xiaolong.
The crowd was instantly stunned.
Just now, it seems I was too conservative!
Wang Xiu patted Yu Xiaolong's shoulder and said, "The Dragon Emperor was once an existence that stood at the pinnacle of the world. Before his death, he had seen through life and death, through racial differences, and through the affairs of the mortal world... His final thought was pure, simply a wish for the starry sky he once inhabited to be a place where everyone was like a dragon, and the Dao eternally verdant!
"What we need to do is show the Dragon Emperor our faith and courage.
"So, everyone, let loose! Speak aloud those ambitions you've only dared to fantasize about in secret!
"If you don't dare to think it, don't dare to say it, how will you ever do it?
"Let us spread the wings of our ideals.
"The Dragon Emperor... will help us realize our dreams!"
His voice was passionate, as he subtly and silently employed the profundities of Da Meng Zhong Jue.
Everyone felt that Wang Xiu's words were perfectly reasonable.
Even Ao Canghai's eyes glazed over in a daze. Reflecting on Wang Xiu's speech, he fell into deep thought. Could it be... that I was wrong all along?
A rather shy youth stepped forward, saying with some embarrassment, "I... I also want to become a Great Emperor!"
Wang Xiu shook his head. "No, not 'want to become.' That's not confident enough!"
The youth took a deep breath and closed his eyes. When he opened them again, they were filled with fighting spirit. "I, Lin Chen, will surely become a Great Emperor in the future!"
[DING]

WOOSH!
A beam of light descended, enveloping the youth in an incredibly dense Dao Yun that aided his enlightenment.
"Very good."
A look of satisfaction appeared in Wang Xiu's eyes.
Witnessing this, everyone suddenly understood. So that's how it works!
"I am Zhang Qiyi! The path is at my feet and the Dao is in the distance! One day, the heavens will no longer block my sight, and the earth will no longer bury my heart! In less than ten thousand years, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths will lie beneath my feet!"
[DING]
[Bragging detected nearby. Congratulations to the Host for gaining Mana +755!]
"What's so great about being a Great Emperor? That isn't necessarily the apex of the Dao! I will pioneer a brand-new path, one never trodden by the ancients! I will step on Great Emperors and shatter True Immortals with my bare hands!"
[DING]
[Bragging detected nearby. Congratulations to the Host for gaining Mana +688!]
"Once, a woman said a man like me would never be worthy of her! Today, before the Dragon Emperor, I swear that within a thousand years, I will make her take back those words and willingly become my woman!"
[DING]

"..."
It was as if everyone had been enlightened. They all suddenly understood where to direct their efforts. The place turned as raucous as a mortal marketplace, noisy to the extreme. Yet, beams of heavenly radiance fell intermittently from the sky, exuding a dense Dao Yun that made hearts tremble.
...
"Strange, this is very strange!" The young scholar Meng Ran shook his head, feeling that something was amiss.
Wang Xiu looked at him with a smile. "What's wrong?"
Meng Ran wore an odd expression. "Why do I feel like... this is all just bragging??"
Wang Xiu corrected him, "Hey, how could this be called bragging? Can bragging conjure the inheritance of the Dao? Can it summon supreme Divine Skills? This is about establishing lofty ideals. Without ideals, what's the difference between a man and a salted fish? Wouldn't you agree?"
Meng Ran hissed in understanding. "When you put it that way, there's nothing wrong with it."
Wang Xiu clapped him on the shoulder. "So, Brother Meng, what are you waiting for? Aren't those inheritances tempting?"
Hearing this, Meng Ran no longer held back. He strode forward and shouted at the Ancient Stele, his voice resonating with power, "I, Meng Ran, hereby make a grand vow! In this life, I shall become a man like Confucius!"
His words fell.
Wang Xiu waited for a long while, but no System prompt sounded. Naturally, no light descended upon Meng Ran's head. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
Meng Ran froze, then looked at Wang Xiu, baffled. "Brother Wang, what's going on?"
Wang Xiu mulled it over. "Emmm... I suppose Brother Meng's ideal isn't grand enough!"
Meng Ran was astonished. That's not grand enough? Anywhere else, he would have been too embarrassed to even utter such a thing. He would have certainly been mocked for it.
Who was Confucius?
In the entire Yaoguang Heavenly Realm, no one dared show the slightest disrespect to him. Even the most arrogant of tyrants had to give him face.
Meng Ran thought for a long time before finally forcing out a new declaration, "I shall become the single greatest figure in the history of the Academy!"
[DING]
