Chapter 56

Chapter 56: The Observing Void Sword Master is a Jerk!

 

I have to say, Ye Tianming felt a sense of defeat. He hadn’t expected to be taken down with just one move.

This senior sister was too terrifying.

But that feeling of defeat quickly vanished without a trace because this failure was like a bucket of cold water poured over him, instantly sobering him up quite a bit.

Besides, his senior sister being strong meant he was strong too. This was something to be happy about.

Thinking of this, he immediately broke into a smile.

Fucang walked up to Ye Tianming and saw him buried in a pile of dirt, grinning stupidly. Her delicate eyebrows immediately furrowed. Had she knocked him silly?

Ye Tianming stood up, dusted himself off, and said, “Senior Sister, your power is incredibly domineering. One punch shattered my manifestation. Senior Sister, you’re amazing.”

Fucang calmly replied, “Oh.”

Ye Tianming: “…….”

Seeing Fucang not speaking, Ye Tianming said, “Senior Sister, you must have something to discuss with me? Just tell me, whatever junior brother can do, I won’t refuse.”

He knew this senior sister had a cold personality and wouldn’t come looking for him unless she had something important.

Fucang remained silent.

Ye Tianming was somewhat confused.

Fucang just stood there without speaking. Her purpose in finding Ye Tianming was to see his cultivation technique, because Mu Guanchen had said Ye Tianming’s technique would be helpful to her. But how could she, Fucang, possibly utter words asking for help?

She would not speak!

Ye Tianming looked at Fucang, seeing her still silent, growing increasingly puzzled. So he asked, “Senior Sister, are you hungry? I’ll go make you something to eat.”

With that, he turned to leave.

“Wait.”

Fucang suddenly spoke.

Ye Tianming stopped and turned to look at Fucang. She looked at him without speaking, then directly took out a storage ring and handed it to him.

Ye Tianming took the ring and looked inside. It contained a full thirty thousand spirit crystals.

Ye Tianming was confused. “Senior Sister, what’s this for?”

Fucang stared at him. “Your cultivation technique. Let me see it.”

After saying this, she immediately regretted it and turned to leave.

How could she, Fucang, ask someone for help?

Absolutely not!

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She walked directly to a small mountain, then lifted her leg and swept out a kick.

Boom!

The small mountain was instantly flattened by her kick.

Ye Tianming: “…….”

A moment later, Ye Tianming arrived at Fucang’s hall. He knocked on the door, and when it opened, Fucang appeared before him.

Fucang looked at him without speaking.

Ye Tianming said, “Senior Sister, I’d like to ask for your help.”

Fucang was somewhat confused.

Ye Tianming said, “I’ve been having some confusion in my cultivation lately and would like to ask Senior Sister to help clarify some things…”

As he spoke, he took out a scroll and handed it to Fucang. “Senior Sister, this is my cultivation technique. Recently, I’ve been integrating it with a technique called ‘Dao Star Method.’ Although I’ve made some progress, there are still many aspects I don’t understand, so I’d like to ask you to take a look.”

After looking at Ye Tianming for a long time, Fucang said, “You don’t need to do this. I’m the one who wants to see your technique. If you’re willing to show me, consider it a favor I owe you.”

Ye Tianming felt that looking at a cultivation technique was a small matter, not worth counting as a favor, but he knew this senior sister was proud. If he refused, she definitely wouldn’t look at it, so he said, “Alright.”

Seeing Ye Tianming agree, Fucang nodded. She took the scroll from Ye Tianming and turned to walk into the hall. After a few steps, she suddenly turned to look at Ye Tianming standing at the entrance. “Why aren’t you coming in?”

Ye Tianming said, “You didn’t invite me…”

Fucang said, “Come in.”

After speaking, she turned and walked toward the window.

Ye Tianming followed her in. He walked to Fucang’s side as she was examining his technique. Ye Tianming didn’t disturb her, leaning against the window and quietly watching her.

Today, Fucang wore a light purple robe with a black silk ribbon tied around her waist. She had a slender figure and otherworldly beauty, especially her silver hair, which added an unusual charm to her appearance.

Ye Tianming had no other thoughts. For him now, romance and such were very distant matters. He only wanted to live well and seek justice for himself and the Ye family.

A moment later, Fucang suddenly looked up at Ye Tianming. “Did you create this yourself?”

Ye Tianming nodded. “Yes.”

After looking at him for a while, Fucang asked, “May I cultivate it?”

Ye Tianming smiled. “Of course.”

Fucang asked, “Why?”

Ye Tianming said, “Because you’re my senior sister!”

After looking at him for a moment, Fucang said, “I won’t cultivate your technique for nothing.”

As she spoke, she opened her palm, and a golden scroll slowly floated in front of Ye Tianming. “This is a physical cultivation method that can help strengthen your body.”

Ye Tianming didn’t refuse. He took the golden scroll, and as soon as he opened it, a golden light entered between his eyebrows.

Divine Armor Technique!

When cultivated to its peak, the physical body becomes like divine armor.

Ye Tianming looked at Fucang. “Senior Sister, what level is this?”

Fucang’s expression remained unchanged. “Don’t worry about that, just practice it.”

Ye Tianming shook his head. “Senior Sister, cultivating techniques requires a lot of money. I don’t have money, so this isn’t suitable for me…”

Fucang said, “There’s a way to do it without money.”

Ye Tianming immediately became curious. “What is it?”

Fucang stared at him. “Getting beaten up.”

Ye Tianming: “…….”

Fucang stared at him. “I can provide the service for free.”

As she spoke, the corner of her mouth lifted slightly, but it disappeared in an instant.

Ye Tianming: “…….”

Getting beaten up.

Ye Tianming ultimately chose to get beaten up. He had no choice; he really wanted his physical body to become stronger because having strong spiritual power and soul alone was far from enough. Whether it was his manifestation’s combat techniques or his own sword techniques in actual combat, they all required a strong physical body for support.

So, in the following days, he had to spar with Fucang for two hours every day, which was essentially getting beaten up.

During his exchanges with Fucang, he discovered that she never used any special combat techniques, just simple punches and kicks… but each punch or kick could beat him until he felt worse than death.

After the first beating, he truly felt like every bone in his body had been shattered.

But by the second day, he clearly felt some subtle changes in his physical body. Because every time he was beaten, he would circulate the ‘Divine Armor Technique.’ He felt that after being hit, his flesh would contain more mysterious energy.

At night.

Ye Tianming lay on the ground, gasping for breath. He felt like his body was no longer his own.

Fucang slowly walked up to him. She examined Ye Tianming’s body, her brows furrowing. Suddenly, she waved her sleeve, and Ye Tianming’s clothes instantly turned to ash.

Ye Tianming’s expression changed dramatically. He hurriedly covered his crotch with both hands and looked at Fucang in disbelief, trembling as he said, “Senior Sister, you…”

Fucang ignored him and crouched down to carefully examine his physical body.

Ye Tianming: “…….”

Fucang suddenly turned to look at Ye Tianming. “Do you know your body is somewhat special?”

Ye Tianming was confused. “Somewhat special?”

Fucang asked in return, “You don’t know?”

Ye Tianming looked completely bewildered. “No, I don’t.”

After a moment of silence, Fucang said, “Try circulating the ‘Divine Armor Technique.'”

Ye Tianming immediately began circulating the ‘Divine Armor Technique.’ As he did so, his flesh began to undulate, and not only that, but the blood beneath his skin also began to move rapidly. He felt his body was in a very strange state.

Fucang didn’t say anything, just gave Ye Tianming a deep look before standing up and leaving.

Ye Tianming hurriedly asked, “Senior Sister, what…”

Fucang said, “Tomorrow, go to the Observation Realm.”

Ye Tianming was completely confused. “Tower Ancestor, is my body special?”

Little Tower said, “Perhaps.”

Ye Tianming: “……”

Little Tower said, “Your mother had a special constitution, so you probably inherited some of her special physical traits… anyway, it doesn’t matter much. What you need to do is just work hard on cultivation, that’s all.”

Ye Tianming nodded. “I understand.”

After resting for an hour, he stood up and returned to the Transcendent Sacred Hall. He began to condense his manifestation, having it perform various powerful combat techniques as well as his own sword techniques.

In his exchanges with Fucang, he had never truly exerted his full strength. If he simultaneously mobilized all the earth vein power and star power to condense manifestations, and then had both manifestations simultaneously perform the layered Heaven-Cleaving Sword Draw technique, he felt he should be able to contend with Fucang. Of course, he wasn’t confident about winning because he knew this senior sister definitely had terrifying trump cards.

He now focused on condensing the star manifestation, as he had just learned it and it wasn’t yet mature. Besides this, he also needed to have both manifestations perform the layered Heaven-Cleaving Sword Draw technique!

After a night of cultivation, he had successfully managed to have both manifestations merge to perform the layered Zhantai Sword Draw technique.

The next day, as soon as it was light, he tidied up and came to the academy entrance. “Tower Ancestor, once we go to the Observation Realm, I’ll be able to see the statue of that bastard Observation Sword Master, right?”

Little Tower: “…….”
