Continental Top-Tier Defense at His Side! First Time Sharing a Bed with Hu Liena!
Five days later, Gengxin City.
Blacksmiths' Association.
The air was thick with the scent of charcoal fires, while the constant clanging of hammers rang in their ears. The collision of metal sounded almost like a symphony.
A group of burly, dark-skinned men watched from afar. Up ahead stood a child surrounded by a crowd.
What he was doing made the onlookers widen their eyes and gape in disbelief.
"A monster..."
"Is he really only six years old?"
"We tested that hammer before. Even a Soul Elder would have to release Soul Power to lift it."
"But this kid... this kid doesn't seem to have released any Soul Power at all!"
The child they were describing stood bare-chested, wearing an exquisite half-face Black Mask. He swung the hammer in his hand again and again, and the deafening clang of metal reverberated through the area.
What was astonishing was that the hammer's head was nearly as tall as he was. Yet in the child's hands, it seemed weightless, constantly whirling through the air. The aesthetics of violence were displayed to the fullest.
"His name is Chi Xiu. He was the one who split the Meteorite Stone."
A deep voice sounded as Lou Gao slowly walked over to the dark-skinned men.
"President!"
Lou Gao gazed at Chi Xiu's figure and let out a deep sigh.
"This child's future accomplishments are immeasurable. Chenxin really lost out this time—he lost out badly..."
"What does this child have to do with Sword Saint Chenxin?"
Several blacksmiths asked curiously.
Lou Gao laughed at that. "Five days ago, all the major sects wanted to meet this child, but he outright refused to see any of them. He only agreed to meet me. Even that old fool Chenxin was turned away at the door, hahaha..."
Lou Gao looked particularly smug as he said this.
Especially when he thought of Chenxin being refused at the door, that disgruntled look on his face—it felt incredibly satisfying!
But Lou Gao had now confirmed that this child's talent truly surpassed Chenxin's, and his future accomplishments would far exceed Chenxin's as well!
"Done!"
"Hah..."
Chi Xiu brought down the final hammer blow before setting the enormous hammer aside. The watching blacksmiths applauded in admiration, and even Lou Gao in the distance joined in.
Chi Xiu smiled sheepishly. He had only intended to help one of the blacksmith uncles hammer a piece of metal, but as he worked, more and more blacksmiths had gathered around. Their expressions looked as though they had seen a ghost.
Five days ago, Chi Xiu had learned from his conversation with Lou Gao that the Meteorite Stone had another use.
Not only was the Meteorite Stone indestructible, it could also conceal one's aura to the greatest extent possible.
Chi Xiu had immediately thought of it—why not have Lou Gao make him a mask that could conceal his aura?
Over the past few days, he had learned that Bibi Dong was searching for him everywhere.
Bibi Dong remembered what he looked like and might even be familiar with his aura. But as long as he wore the mask, he could avoid a great deal of trouble.
Bibi Dong was only one of them. In the future, he might provoke even more women.
Over these five days, Chi Xiu had also gained a great deal while sleeping every day. Although his Soul Power had not increased by even one level, he had obtained a priceless ten-thousand-year immortal herb, a Great Restoration Pill, and three Marrow Cleansing Pills.
After taking them, eighty percent of his Eight Extraordinary Meridians had been opened.
Though his physical age was still only six, his body's strength was already nearly comparable to that of a Soul Elder. His growing power was also at its peak. With Soul Power activated, a full-force punch from him could already break through the defenses of a Soul Elder.
That was why lifting the hammer just now had been so effortless.
And the reason he was now at the Blacksmiths' Association in Suotuo City was because...
"It's done!"
"It's done!"
Several dark-skinned blacksmiths stood across from a massive furnace, staring excitedly at the scene inside.
Lou Gao immediately hurried over. With great care, he used Soul Power to lift a scarlet object from the furnace, then quenched it.
"Sizzle, sizzle..."
Lou Gao's expression was full of excitement. He stared intently at the object as though he were looking at a naked beauty, ready to rush over and kiss it the very next second.
"You brat! It worked!"
Lou Gao hurriedly called Chi Xiu over.
Chi Xiu came to his side and watched as Lou Gao unfolded the object. It was actually a set of clothing, thin as cicada wings, completely black, with a rainbow-colored glow shimmering across its surface.
This was the second gift Lou Gao had given Chi Xiu, likewise made from Meteorite Stone.
"You brat, once you put this on, you can completely ignore attacks from anyone below the level of a Limit Douluo. Even if you take a full-force attack from someone at Chenxin's level, you won't suffer the slightest injury, unless..."
Lou Gao deliberately left him hanging. Chi Xiu immediately asked curiously.
"Unless what?"
"Unless someone attacks you using your own martial soul, don't even think about breaking through the defense this outfit provides!"
"That's insane!"
Lou Gao handed the outfit to Chi Xiu somewhat hesitantly, reluctance evident in his eyes. He hadn't expected that the first two items made from the Meteorite Stone would both end up being given to this kid!
But without Chi Xiu's contribution, he wouldn't have been able to make anything at all.
He reminded him, "We agreed, alright? Since I've given you this outfit, if we need to use the Meteorite Stone again in the future, you have to come to Gengxin City and help. After all, aside from you, no one else on the entire continent can cut that thing open."
"Alright, alright, alright! What a big deal!"
Chi Xiu immediately grinned and put away the outfit, treating it like a treasure. Once this outfit appeared in the world, those defense-type Soul Masters across the continent would probably cry themselves to death. They had cultivated for decades, only to find that their defenses were weaker than a single piece of clothing.
Chi Xiu had already stayed in Suotuo City for five days.
Now that he was returning with a mask on, he wondered whether anyone in the sect would still recognize him.
After putting on the mask, he looked like nothing more than an ordinary child to other Soul Masters, without the slightest fluctuation of Soul Power anywhere on his body.
Chi Xiu had already made up his mind. From now on, he would take off the mask before going to sleep, then put it back on once he returned through teleportation. That way, the women he had "slept with" would never be able to find him in real life.
The more he thought about it, the more blissful it felt.
After returning to the Purple Star Sect, just as expected, no one recognized Chi Xiu right away. Only after he revealed his identity could they barely connect the masked Chi Xiu with the Chi Xiu from before.
Of course, that was also because his body had been altered over the past five days. He had grown a little taller, and his features had become even more handsome.
With the mask on, no one could have imagined that such a beautiful face lay beneath it.
After dinner, Chi Yuan suddenly came to find him.
"Son, it's time for you to obtain a soul ring. How about I take you to the Star Dou Great Forest tomorrow to hunt Soul Beasts?"
Chi Xiu paused, then realized that this did seem to be a necessary step, so he agreed.
After Chi Yuan left, Chi Xiu shut his door tightly.
For Soul Masters, nighttime was not meant for sleeping. Seizing the time to meditate and increase one's Soul Power was what mattered most.
But for a special Soul Master like Chi Xiu, sleeping was the shortcut to becoming the strongest.
He removed the mask from his face, revealing long eyelashes and an immortal-like visage, fair and delicate beneath the moonlight.
"Good night, Makabaka."
Chi Xiu closed his eyes.
Spirit Hall.
Hu Liena had been unable to sleep for the entire night.
In the past, whenever her master had free time, she would patiently teach Hu Liena. But now, after handling Spirit Hall's trivial affairs, her master did nothing but stare blankly into space, as though she had completely forgotten that she still had a disciple eagerly waiting to be taught.
Damn it! What kind of boy could make Master miss him day and night like this?!
Judging by the time, it was probably already morning. Hu Liena sighed and prepared to get up and cultivate.
But when she turned over, her entire body froze.
A boy so beautiful it was unbelievable was lying beside her.
