"Host notification: the novice protection period has ended. From now on, your ten-pulls will return to their normal probabilities..."

After looking over the various rewards he had obtained this time, Jiang Che smiled in satisfaction, his grin bright.

Jiang Che did not pay much attention to the system's notification.

After all, once he used the Cultivation Advancement Card, he could raise his cultivation all the way to the Early Hua Jin realm in one go.

A Hua Jin Martial Artist could release True Qi externally, leap over roofs and scale walls, pluck flowers and fling leaves to kill without leaving a trace.

The Destiny Trajectory was still only in its early stages. No overly powerful Children of Destiny would appear in Linjiang City; at most, they would be at the same Early Hua Jin realm as him.

With Early Hua Jin cultivation, coupled with the Nine Yang Divine Skill and Tread Snow Without a Trace at perfection, Jiang Che was fully confident that even if he faced those Children of Destiny alone, he would remain undefeated.

"System, initiate the empowerment of Flame Saber Technique..."

"Use the Cultivation Advancement Card..."

Suppressing the many thoughts swirling in his heart, Jiang Che focused his mind and gave the system its instructions.

"Ding, successfully used..."

As the system prompt fell, that familiar sensation swept through his body once again. Vast, pure energy began coursing through Jiang Che's limbs, bones, and acupoints before ultimately gathering in his lower abdomen, at his dantian.

With that vast influx of pure energy, Jiang Che's cultivation advanced smoothly, breaking through two realms in succession from the late stage of Dark Strength without encountering any bottlenecks, instantly reaching the Early Hua Jin realm.

After receiving the empowerment of the Flame Saber Technique, Jiang Che's mastery of this cultivation martial art instantly reached perfection, and all manner of Flame Saber Technique moves appeared in his mind.

His mastery was consummate, his skill at its pinnacle.

After familiarizing himself with the surging power within his body, Jiang Che's thoughts stirred. He gathered all the True Qi in his body at his fingertips, formed a sword finger, and pointed toward the distant ruined wall.

In an instant, a crimson saber aura of unparalleled sharpness and brilliance burst from Jiang Che's fingertips, racing into the distance with lightning speed.

A piercing sound tore through the air, sending faint ripples through the atmosphere. A massive wall twenty meters away instantly exploded and collapsed completely, kicking up flying sand, stones, and dust.

Jiang Che remained unruffled at the sight, with little expression on his face. However, the group of bodyguards behind him exchanged looks, their faces full of bewilderment, each seeing deep shock in the others' eyes.

Releasing True Qi externally—this was clearly a method only Hua Jin Martial Artists possessed!

They had followed Jiang Che for many years and naturally understood his circumstances. They knew that their Young Master had never practiced any Ancient Martial Arts and was an out-and-out cultivation good-for-nothing.

So how had he suddenly acquired the strength of a Hua Jin Martial Artist?

There were not many martial arts experts in the secular world. A Hua Jin Martial Artist was already an exceptionally formidable existence, requiring years of arduous cultivation, as well as a certain degree of opportunity and luck, to achieve such an accomplishment.

Could it be... that their Young Master had been hiding his true abilities all along?

Jiang Che naturally sensed the bodyguards' gazes, but he could not be bothered to explain. He continued giving instructions to the system.

Noticing the Qing Shuang Sword in the Items section, Jiang Che fell into thought. Focusing his mind, he began examining the Heaven-tier Treasure Sword quietly floating in the system space.

The Qing Shuang Sword was approximately three feet and two inches long. Its entire body was snow-white, its blade slender and crystalline.

Upon closer inspection, a chilling, icy aura rushed toward him. Cold light flickered along the blade, while the two characters "Qing Shuang" were engraved upon the hilt, vigorous and forceful, grand and domineering.

As a low-grade Heaven-tier weapon, the Qing Shuang Sword could absolutely be called a divine weapon, something rarely seen in this world.

Yet although the Qing Shuang Sword's blade aura was sharp and fierce, it carried an elegant spiritual grace. The sheath bore pale cyan patterns depicting landscapes, making it obvious that it was a sword meant for a woman.

"I can make a gift of borrowed flowers and give it to Older Sister..."

After examining it for a while, Jiang Che gathered his thoughts and quickly reached a decision.

He had not cultivated any sword techniques, so the Qing Shuang Sword would be useless in his hands.

Besides, having a six-foot-one man like him wield such an elegant sword would be far too painful to look at.

Jiang Wantang possessed exceptional Martial Arts Talent. She was proficient in the four arts, poetry, wine, flowers, and tea, so she naturally had considerable attainments in the path of swordsmanship.

Only in her hands could the Qing Shuang Sword display its greatest value.

Such a spiritually exquisite, ethereal treasure sword was worthy only of his own breathtakingly beautiful, otherworldly Sister.

After waiting for about twenty minutes, Shen Yuxuan finally reappeared before Jiang Che.

"Senior Jiang... I'm all packed..."

"Let's go!"

Shen Yuxuan's cheeks were slightly flushed, her voice filled with shyness as her emotions churned excitedly.

At the thought of living at Qingteng Villa from now on, serving as Senior Jiang's maid and taking care of his daily needs, Shen Yuxuan felt full of anticipation, her heart bursting with joy.

Even though she knew that nothing could ever happen between herself and this gentle, refined senior, as long as she could see Jiang Che every day and admire his peerlessly handsome, immortal-like face, Shen Yuxuan would already be completely content and ask for nothing more.

Jiang Che nodded with a smile. Glancing at the suitcase Shen Yuxuan carried, he said nothing further and led her toward the Rolls-Royce Phantom parked nearby.

After having the bodyguards place Shen Yuxuan's luggage in the trunk, the two of them got into the back seat of the Rolls-Royce.

As the engine roared to life, the convoy swiftly departed Sunshine Orphanage and headed grandly toward Qingteng Villa.

Seated in the rear of the Rolls-Royce Phantom, Shen Yuxuan sat ramrod straight, her expression serious and posture proper, her little hands nervously clutching the hem of her clothes.

Shen Yuxuan did not know much about luxury cars, nor did she recognize any of their brands.

But since it was one of Senior Jiang's cars, and it looked so luxurious, it had to be worth at least several million, right?

It was the first time in her life that she had ridden in such a super luxury car, so naturally, Shen Yuxuan felt extremely restrained.

Seeing Shen Yuxuan like this, Jiang Che found it immensely amusing and called out to her without thinking.

"Shen Yuxuan?"

"Present!"

As though she had been triggered by some reflex, Shen Yuxuan momentarily thought a teacher was calling attendance and blurted it out instinctively.

Once she realized where she was, Shen Yuxuan immediately flushed scarlet, feeling incredibly embarrassed as she shyly lowered her Little Head...
