Liu Yue'er Awakens a Sacred Physique

"When are you planning to go down the mountain?"

Chu Feng asked. He was a hundred thousand times in favor of his disciple going down the mountain.

After all, only when his disciple made a name for him would others seek to become his disciples.

Only then could he, Chu Feng, gain more cultivation.

"In seven days."

Xiao Chen explained, "Junior Sister Liu is in seclusion now. Once she comes out in seven days, I'll say goodbye to her and take a mission to Great Liang to gain experience."

"Good. As the saying goes, return home clad in glory. You're already the number one genius of the younger generation at Dao-Seeking Academy. It's time you went back and showed off."

Chu Feng spouted nonsense with a perfectly serious face.

???

Xiao Chen looked puzzled. He understood the first part of what his master had said, but only half understood the last part.

Did Master want him to go back and show off?

"I definitely won't disgrace you, Master. I'll let the world know how powerful you are."

"Good, good. I won't see you off when the time comes. When you're out there, remember one thing."

Chu Feng's expression turned serious as he spoke.

"Always act with caution. If you don't make a move, so be it, but once you do, you must defeat every opponent. Otherwise, it will affect your sword heart."

He had originally wanted to say, "Fight if you can win, and run if you can't," but Xiao Chen was now walking the path of invincibility.

Those words did not suit Xiao Chen's character.

Xiao Chen nodded. "I'll remember your instructions, Master."

Chu Feng smiled and said, "All right, go and make your preparations. I need to think about what to eat for lunch today."

"..."

Xiao Chen had no idea how he was supposed to respond to that.

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

The entire Dao-Seeking Academy was bustling today.

The disciples of the Sword Dao Institute had heard that Liu Yue'er, one of the three beauties of the outer court, was about to emerge from seclusion and break through to the True Fate Realm. They gathered outside the quiet chamber to wait.

The Body Cultivation Institute was in an uproar too.

"A month!"

"That senior brother has been cultivating in the cold pool for a month. That's second only to Senior Brother Jin Gang. Back then, Senior Brother Jin Gang cultivated in the cold pool for seven times seven, forty-nine days, and awakened the Tyrant Sacred Physique after breaking through to the True Fate Realm. I wonder where this senior brother's limit lies?"

"Let's go tell the elder this happy news and give the old man something to celebrate."

"I'm coming too."

In the Body Cultivation Institute, the outer court elder had also caught wind of the news in recent days and learned that another cultivation fanatic had appeared in his institute.

Every day, he sent his favorite disciple to inquire about the situation.

Today, he was once again waiting for his disciple to report to him.

"Elder Niu, that senior brother is still cultivating in the cold pool!" an outer court disciple shouted as he ran.

"Good! Our Body Cultivation Institute is about to produce another genius."

Elder Niu grew happier as he spoke.

He wanted to go and see who that disciple was right now.

"Have you found out who he is?"

The two shook their heads together. "Reporting to the elder, we don't know who that senior brother is.

"We only know that he has a completely bald head and doesn't even have eyebrows."

"Hmm?"

A thoughtful look appeared on Elder Niu's face.

As far as he could remember, the Body Cultivation Institute did not seem to have a disciple like that.

Could it be that the man was not from their Body Cultivation Institute?

But he quickly dismissed the thought. After all, in the entire Dao-Seeking Academy, only the Body Cultivation Institute had body cultivators this fanatical.

The other disciple said, "Elder Niu, do you think that senior brother might have lost his hair while tempering his body earlier, and that's why we don't recognize him?"

"You have a point. From today on, keep watch. Once seven times seven, forty-nine days are up, we'll go see who that brat is."

Elder Niu was so happy that his eyes narrowed to slits.

If that brat could awaken a sacred physique, he would surely receive a reward from the inner court. Perhaps he might even move up from his current position.

"Yes!"

Inside the Sword Dao Institute.

The disciples were all waiting quietly for Liu Yue'er to emerge from seclusion.

Just then, a commotion broke out in the crowd.

"Senior Brother Xiao is here."

"Where is Senior Brother Xiao?"

"..."

Although Xiao Chen was no longer a disciple of the Sword Dao Institute, he had awakened a divine physique and had long since become the idol of all its outer sect disciples.

Quite a few people had gone to see Senior Brother Xiao, but unfortunately, he had turned them all down.

They did not resent Xiao Chen for it, however. They simply felt they were not strong enough to become his followers, Senior Brother Xiao.

As soon as Xiao Chen appeared, the crowd parted like a receding tide.

He gave them a slight nod by way of greeting.

Then Xiao Chen found a quiet corner and waited for Liu Yue'er to emerge from seclusion.

At that moment, purple clouds shrouded the sky above the Sword Dao Institute, and a strange phenomenon appeared.

"This... this is the prelude to Senior Sister Liu awakening a sacred physique!"

"Our Sword Dao Institute is about to produce another sacred physique!"

"..."

As the crowd cried out in astonishment, the elders of the Sword Dao Institute also hurried over.

For the Sword Dao Institute to produce someone with a sacred physique was a tremendously joyous occasion for them.

Before all the Sword Dao Institute elders had arrived,

the Heavenly Spirit Institute's elders appeared as well.

With the elders of the Heavenly Spirit Institute making their appearance, the atmosphere throughout the compound grew tense.

The elders were all people of status, and none confronted one another in front of the disciples.

But the looks they exchanged were full of the smell of gunpowder.

The Sword Dao Institute elders even stationed themselves across the exit of the quiet chamber.

They did so to keep the Heavenly Spirit Institute elders from snatching her away.

The Heavenly Spirit Institute elders, meanwhile, wore disdainful expressions.

In the sky above the Heavenly Dao Institute, the Carefree Sword King looked at the Sword Martial King with a smile that was not quite a smile and asked,

"What, are you trying to stop me?"

The Sword Martial King said, "Our Sword Dao Institute has already lost Xiao Chen. We can't lose another disciple who has awakened a sacred physique."

The Carefree Sword King said, "Your Sword Dao Institute had eyes but failed to see. What does that have to do with our Heavenly Spirit Institute? Surely you can't stop a disciple from joining us? Besides, this girl and I were already connected by fate."

"Hmph!"

The Sword Martial King snorted coldly. "Carefree, you shameless fellow. Every sacred physique has a connection with you, is that it?"

"If you don't believe me, just ask Little Yueyue when she comes out."

The Carefree Sword King looked utterly confident.

"Her surname isn't Chen. What the hell does she have to do with you?" The Sword Martial King still refused to give up.

"I have a Dao companion whose surname is Liu."

The Carefree Sword King spoke with a smile.

The Sword Martial King's expression turned especially ugly. "You lecherous devil, how can you have the nerve to say that?"

The Carefree Sword King shrugged. "What can I do? My sword is more dashing than yours."

"..."

The Sword Martial King felt as though something had stabbed him viciously in the heart. This old bastard was truly shameless.

Several hours later.

At the entrance to the quiet chamber, a woman whose whole being radiated a pure, graceful bearing slowly walked out.

Looking at the woman before them, the students could not help exclaiming, "What kind of sacred physique has Senior Sister Liu awakened? Why do I feel she's become even prettier?"

"Profound Yin Jade Physique!"

"Liu Yue'er has awakened the Profound Yin Jade Physique, which appears only once in a thousand years!"

"Our Sword Dao Institute is about to produce another genius!"

Hearing the cheers, Xiao Chen smiled faintly at Liu Yue'er.

Liu Yue'er noticed Xiao Chen looking at her, and a charming smile appeared on her face as well...
