Before the Sect Leader's Mansion, I Prove Myself, the Asura God Sword Displays Its Divine Might!

In the blink of an eye, Chi Xiu appeared in his own room.

The sky was only just beginning to brighten, as though he had slept soundly through the night and nothing had happened.

Yet the sensation of his body being filled with Soul Power, along with the overwhelming killing intent emanating from his Martial Soul, told Chi Xiu that everything that had just happened was real.

In other words, just a second ago, he had been standing in the Papal Hall of Spirit City, a thousand miles away, right in front of the current Pope, Bibi Dong!

Chi Xiu sat down cross-legged and began to think carefully.

Could it be understood this way: after he fell asleep, he would wake up somewhere else, then be guided by some kind of opportunity and gain a chance to improve his abilities?

That interpretation seemed right.

Perhaps this was the cheat that had arrived six years late?!

It had to be said that this method of gaining power was quite unique.

Chi Xiu had no idea what was happening with the Sect Elders. His father, Chi Yuan, the Sect Leader, also knew that Chi Xiu had awakened a worthless Martial Soul. To protect his wife and son, Chi Yuan could only use Chi Xiu's poor health as an excuse to keep the truth from those elders for now.

But he would not be able to stall them for long. Still, the current situation was clearly enough to give them an answer.

Yet Chi Xiu was in no hurry to go out. He wanted to thoroughly study this cheat first.

That night, Chi Xiu tossed and turned without falling asleep. It was not until the following day that he finally managed to doze off.

When he woke up this time, he found that he was likewise lying in a woman's bed. She was not Bibi Dong, but she was also a Soul Master.

After five consecutive nights of this, Chi Xiu finally figured out how this cheat worked.

As long as he fell asleep, he would definitely wake up the next day in a different woman's bed, and he could only obtain benefits through physical contact.

Of course, the only downside was figuring out how to explain himself when the woman beside him woke up and found him there.

But for Chi Xiu, who was completely familiar with Douluo Continent and possessed a silver tongue, that was not much of a problem.

He had been rather lucky over these five days. Every girl beside him had still been sound asleep when he woke up. It was probably because none of them were as strong as Bibi Dong, leaving them lacking in perception.

Over those five days, his Soul Power had increased by two levels, and he had also obtained a Marrow Cleansing Pill.

It seemed that the rewards were not limited to increases in Soul Power; he could obtain medicinal pills as well!

Though his Soul Power had only risen by two levels, that was an effect ordinary Soul Masters would need several months or even a year to achieve!

Besides that, Chi Xiu discovered that the magnitude of his gains changed according to the talent of the woman beside him. Take Bibi Dong, for example—she had directly gifted him a god-tier Weapon Martial Soul, the Asura God Sword, along with innately full Soul Power!

That was the weapon of the Asura God King, one of the God Realm Committee, and also the strongest power Tang San would inherit in the future.

Sorry about that, Old Man Tang. I stole your opportunity.

Chi Xiu had just swallowed a Marrow Cleansing Pill, and his entire body now reeked horribly. This was the result of impurities accumulated in his body over many years being expelled.

However, his meridians had not yet been fully opened, so the pill had merely strengthened his body. Chi Xiu could clearly feel that the muscles throughout his body had become much stronger. Even when he threw a punch, it carried a sharp gust of wind.

Roar! Roar! Ha! Hey!

He wildly performed a few self-created punches in his room.

It had to be said, having strength felt wonderful!

First, he needed to take a bath. Then he would go settle the score with those old Sect Elders!

He would teach those old bastards a lesson!

The Purple Star Sect possessed an inherited Martial Soul: the Purple Star Sword.

It was a fairly ordinary Weapon Martial Soul, one that could not possibly rank among the notable Martial Souls of Douluo Continent.

Yet the elders of the Purple Star Sect regarded it as a source of glory and even proclaimed that the Purple Star Sword was the strongest Sword Martial Soul in the world!

How ridiculous.

After bathing, Chi Xiu headed straight for the Sect Leader's Mansion. He had a feeling that those elders had already begun stirring up trouble.

The thought made Chi Xiu angry. His mother was such a gentle and beautiful woman, yet she was being ostracized by the sect because of a worthless Martial Soul. Those old fossils were probably more rigid than coffin lids.

"Young Master! I finally found you!"

While he was lost in thought, a pretty servant suddenly came rushing to Chi Xiu's side, swinging her arms. Before Chi Xiu could say anything, she tried to pick him up.

Chi Xiu's eyes widened. "What happened? Put me down before you talk!"

As he struggled, he seemed to grab something soft. The pretty maid's body trembled, her face turning bright red, and she hurriedly put him down.

"The elders brought a group of disciples to surround the Sect Leader's Mansion! They said it was time for you to come out and continue awakening your Martial Soul!"

Chi Xiu frowned. "Hurry!"

"Young Master, wait for me!"

The maid chased after him, only to discover that she could not catch up no matter what. In a daze, she recalled that the Young Master seemed to have grown a little taller, and even his grip seemed much stronger...

The crowd led by the Great Elder had surrounded the Sect Leader's Mansion so tightly that not even water could pass through.

The white-haired old man stood with his hands behind his back and said in a deep voice, "Sect Leader, you should give everyone an explanation regarding Chi Xiu's awakening result."

Sect Leader Chi Yuan stood atop the steps, coldly staring at the Great Elder.

"You will have an explanation. But my son is unwell, so please return for now."

"It's already been five days!"

As the Great Elder spoke, soul rings rose around him one by one.

Three yellow, one purple, two black!

A six-ringed Soul Emperor!

He possessed the highest Soul Power present and had also been the one most opposed to Chi Yuan marrying the current Sect Leader's wife. Now, he intended to use Chi Xiu's awakening result to prove that he had been right all along!

After all, judging by Chi Yuan's evasive attitude, Chi Xiu had clearly inherited his mother's worthless martial soul!

"Uncle, are you planning to tear down my Sect Leader's Mansion?"

Chi Yuan met him with icy eyes.

"I wouldn't dare. Everyone simply wishes to know the Little Young Master's awakening result."

Chi Xiu spotted the scene from afar. He quickened his pace and called out loudly.

"I'm here!"

At the sound of the childish voice, everyone immediately turned around. The Great Elder revealed an inscrutable smile.

Sure enough, he was just a child. He couldn't keep his cool.

The crowd made way for Chi Xiu.

"Since the Little Young Master is here, let the awakening ceremony continue."

"Heh, no need. It's already over."

Chi Xiu glanced at the Great Elder, then threaded through the crowd with his hands behind his back, his expression utterly calm. As they watched his retreating figure, everyone felt that this child possessed a composure impossible for someone his age.

"Xiu..."

Chi Yuan signaled him with his eyes, but Chi Xiu acted as though he had not seen it.

He walked to the center of the grounds, faced the Great Elder, and asked in return.

"Great-Granduncle, what do you think of the Purple Star Sword martial soul?"

The Great Elder laughed. "The Purple Star Sword is the inherited martial soul of our Purple Star Sect. Naturally, it is excellent."

Chi Xiu shook his head, a regretful look appearing on his face. "But my martial soul isn't the Purple Star Sword..."

The Great Elder curled his lips, while the crowd burst into an uproar.

Chi Yuan looked at his son, his expression utterly desolate.

Yet he clenched his fists, having already made up his mind. Even if everyone abandoned him, he would still secure a place for his wife and son within the Purple Star Sect!

"Then what is your martial soul?"

The Great Elder's words carried unconcealed mockery.

"My martial soul is also a sword. Moreover, its sword intent should suppress every sword-wielding soul master here. Against opponents of the same level, they would have virtually no ability to resist."

"Hahaha..."

"Hahaha..."

As expected, all the elders began laughing. Even some of the maids and servants who supported Chi Xiu could not help covering their mouths.

"The Little Young Master is too adorable. Even when he brags, he's still so cute. I really want to hold him and give him a kiss."

"Yes, yes!"

The Great Elder stopped laughing and waved a hand casually. "All right, all right. Show us your martial soul!"

There was no point in saying more.

Chi Xiu gave a soft snort and extended his right hand.

A thread of icy chill seeped from his palm. Then, without warning, the chill erupted from it like a spring bursting forth. The wails of countless undead echoed in everyone's ears, as if they were hearing things.

Dark crimson light dyed everyone's faces blood-red.

The Great Elder's eyes instantly widened like bells, his expression filled with disbelief.

Chi Xiu curled his lips and swept his right hand, drawing a dark crimson arc of sword light. He plunged the Asura God Sword into the bricks before him, shattering the earth!

The atmosphere instantly froze.

"Heh, a m-mutated martial soul? I can't see anything s-special about it..."

The Great Elder's voice trembled slightly, yet he still forced himself to maintain his dignity.

His father, standing on the steps, had already widened his eyes and was too stunned to speak.

Chi Xiu looked over everyone present and smiled. "In that case, would all the sword-wielding soul masters please see whether you can still summon your martial souls?"

He then lowered his voice and fixed the Great Elder with an amused gaze. "And you too, Great-Granduncle. Why don't you summon your martial soul as well? Let's see whether its 'sword intent still soars to the heavens.'"
