I, Yue Lingshan, Found a Peerless Genius

He practiced ten full times in succession.

The Righteous Sword Qi generated by the Nurturing My Sword Style no longer increased.

By the ninth time, the growth rate of the Righteous Sword Qi had already approached zero. By the tenth, it had stopped growing completely.

But even so.

After ten rounds of the Nurturing My Sword Style.

Ji Shu's strength had undergone a world-shaking transformation!

Just how strong was he now?

Ji Shu did not know, but he was certain he could instantly kill his former self when using Mount Hua Sword Qi.

And that version of himself could instantly kill the self who had cultivated Self-Generating Inner Energy through Baji Quan!

In less than a single day.

His strength had leapt three times in a row!

There was no need to mention Ji Shu's joy. What man did not harbor dreams of roaming the martial world with abandon? Ji Shu did too!

But after working for ten years in the Blue Star world, he had always kept his head down!

Had he not kept his head down, had he not endured, he would most likely have died in some bloody struggle, in one conflict after another.

In the Blue Star world, Ji Shu had been alone and without support. If he wanted to survive, he could only keep his head down.

He had kept his head down until now.

And at last, he had seen hope!

Ji Shu sincerely hoped that he would become immensely strong, that he would never have to keep his head down again! That he could settle grudges and repay kindness as he pleased!

He looked at Yue Lingshan, deeply grateful to this innocent girl who had taught him swordsmanship. Without her, he would probably still be worrying about how to learn profound martial arts techniques!

"You, you, you..."

Yue Lingshan's beautiful almond eyes widened. She pointed at Ji Shu, her lips trembling as her tongue tied itself in knots.

"Y-you really, really are a peerless genius!"

She shrieked excitedly, jumping up and down.

"Oh my heavens. I, Yue Lingshan, found a peerless genius! And this genius even calls me Master Yue~~"

Her sense of satisfaction and accomplishment nearly overflowed from her eyes.

It was obvious that she was extremely happy.

She trotted over to Ji Shu and looked him up and down.

"Ji Shu, how are you so talented?"

She stood on tiptoe and reached out to touch Ji Shu's forehead, then touched her own. "There's no difference at all. Why is the gap between us so ridiculously huge?! It simply makes no sense!"

She circled Ji Shu twice, then stopped in front of him again. Raising her head to look at him, she said brightly, "Ji Shu, I can now confirm that you're a peerless genius. What do you think about me introducing you to my parents? Let them teach you."

"That won't be necessary for now."

Ji Shu had interacted with Ning Zhongze before. Though the heroine appeared easy to talk to, her presence was extremely oppressive. If she was already like that, Yue Buqun was easy enough to imagine. Yue Lingshan, this innocent and lively girl, was much better!

He felt more comfortable around her. Ji Shu did not want to make trouble for himself, so he said.

"Master Yue, didn't you say you would teach me the skills you keep hidden away? Why wait for another day? Why not teach them all to me today?"

"..."

Yue Lingshan was speechless.

"Ji Shu. One of my parents is the head of the Mount Hua Sect, and the other is a famous heroine! Their martial arts are the strongest in the Mount Hua Sect. I'm introducing you to them, yet you're turning it down."

"I think Master Yue is a very good person. So I want to learn from you for a few more days."

Those words made a blush bloom across Yue Lingshan's pretty face, leaving her quite embarrassed.

"But my, my skills are limited. I'm already very happy to be your Master Yue for one day. I wouldn't dare keep being your Master Yue."

"Once you're Master Yue for a day, you'll be Master Yue forever!"

Ji Shu's words made Yue Lingshan bloom with joy. They had struck right at her heart.

"Ji Shu! Just for those words alone! If you ever run into trouble in the future, your Master Yue will protect you even if it costs me my life!"

Being called Master Yue by a peerless genius.

Yue Lingshan felt tremendously accomplished. In a burst of impulsiveness, she declared boldly.

"Don't worry. Although your Master Yue's skills aren't that great, as the sect leader's daughter, I can freely enter the Library Pavilion. Tomorrow, I'll get you a profound swordsmanship Secret Manual for you to cultivate! Besides that, I'll teach you all the martial arts I've learned."

"Thank you, Master Yue."

"Hehe~"

Yue Lingshan smiled charmingly, revealing two little dimples.

"Isn't it only natural for a master to teach her disciple martial arts? You don't need to be polite with me~ Oh, right. It's getting late. We should sleep early. Tomorrow, we'll get up early, and I'll teach you more martial arts. How does that sound?"

Ji Shu's strength had leapt three levels in a single day. He was greatly excited and did not feel sleepy in the slightest.

But Yue Lingshan wanted to sleep, so he could only nod in agreement. He also told her about Ning Zhongze coming to look for her earlier.

Yue Lingshan frowned when she heard it.

"It's already so late. Why was Mother looking for me? I'll go see her tomorrow. Let's sleep now."

She had been tired all day and yawned sleepily.

After saying goodnight to Ji Shu, she went into the inner room to sleep.

Ji Shu slept in the outer room of the courtyard, not far from Yue Lingshan. If he had any improper intentions toward her, she likely would not have been able to resist. Yet she had simply gone to sleep without any guard against him. It was clear that she had indeed been well protected within the Mount Hua Sect and remained pure-hearted. Of course, it could not be denied that she might simply trust Ji Shu deeply.

Ji Shu returned to the outer room and lay down on the bed. Recalling everything that had happened today, he felt as though he were in a dream.

"Less than a day..."

Ji Shu sensed the abundant Righteous Sword Qi within his Dantian.

He clenched his fist.

His strength was brimming! Far beyond anything he had possessed before!

"It's real!"

His life was about to undergo a complete reversal.

"Talent Tower."

Ji Shu looked at the tower in his mind.

The first floor had unlocked two talents. What about the second floor?

How could he unlock the second floor?

Did he need to enter the second floor of the Tower of the Multiverse? How could he enter it?

Ji Shu's thoughts were a mess, and he drifted off to sleep in a daze.

When he woke up, it was already dawn.

Yue Lingshan was already practicing her sword in the courtyard.

When she saw Ji Shu, she greeted him and pointed to a food box. "There. Your breakfast."

Ji Shu thanked her and went over to open it. Inside was some Great Nourishing Soup, along with precious medicinal ingredients such as ginseng and Deer Antler. He was moved and looked at Yue Lingshan.

Yue Lingshan smiled as brightly as a flower.

"After seeing you practice the Nurturing My Sword Style yesterday, I noticed that although you had become stronger, your face had turned much paler. It was obvious that you had consumed too much vitality and blood. So early this morning, I went to have someone prepare Great Nourishing Soup for you. Drink it while it's hot. It'll nourish you far better than ordinary food."

Ji Shu thanked her again.

Yue Lingshan said with a smile.

"As your Master Yue, shouldn't I treat you better? Otherwise, how could I be your Master Yue?"

After one mouthful of the nourishing soup, Ji Shu's entire body felt warm. The medicinal power was rapidly absorbed by his Dantian, then fed back into every part of his body. His depleted vitality and blood were quickly replenished.

Hearing Yue Lingshan's words at that moment, he really wanted to say: Give me a dozen Masters Yue like this!

After working for ten years in the Blue Star world and scrimping and saving, Ji Shu had never really eaten any nourishing supplements.

The natural environment of the Earth world naturally could not compare to that of this Wuxia World.

So, strictly speaking, this was the first time in his life that he had eaten such a powerful tonic!

The effect?

All he could say was that it was incredible! It was at least ten times, perhaps even more than twenty times, more effective than ordinary meals or meat.
