Chapter Sixty-Five: Am I Really a Genius?
“…”
“It’s not just the principal anymore. Qianyu from our class is leading a group to duel Li Yi. How can they be Li Yi’s opponent? He’s already an Advanced Stage Warrior. Isn’t this bullying? Please come and stop their madness as soon as possible.”
“Okay… I’m coming right away.”
Hanging up the phone, Su Jiu walked out of the water ravine, blocking the sunlight with her hand, feeling a warm and peaceful sensation.
Then she took a deep breath and appeared before Lord Liu Yue, bowing with a smile and saying, “I’ll trouble Senior Liu Yue to give me a ride.”
Finally, she could return to the city.
Heh… Little White, you little fool, you wouldn’t think I’m dead, would you?
I’ve already sent you a message, why haven’t you replied.
“She has some of Jing Zi’s demeanor, but she looks a bit too delicate, lacking something…”
Upon hearing this, Lord Liu Yue nodded lightly, looking at Su Jiu with surprise. Then, using his External Qi to materialize a limb, he tossed the White Jade Flask over, and continued with an arrogant tone, “Take it. How can your attire be without this?”
Taking the flask, Su Jiu was surprised again when she tried to put it away, discovering that the waist of the Hanfu had a special design for hanging flasks. Without overthinking it, she hung it up and then mounted the saddle materialized by Lord Liu Yue’s External Qi.
Why did he materialize a saddle with External Qi? In his words, only those who were not Jing Zi were not allowed to ride with others.
“Not bad, she has some presence. You can study this First String Sword Technique while in the sky.”
Lord Liu Yue glanced, nodded with satisfaction, and his body shot up into the sky like a cannonball with a “whoosh.” He then slowly walked on the sky, exuding wisps of white mist, full of mystique.
Saying he was walking wasn’t true walking; it was more like he was stepping, but his External Qi was forcefully pushing forward.
In this ostentatious manner, some covetous monsters soon appeared in the sky. Even a huge bird-shaped monster with a long beak that Su Jiu had never seen before suddenly attacked Lord Liu Yue without any warning, with swift and powerful speed.
“No wonder even the sentry soldiers don’t dare to fly outside the safety zone casually…”
Judging by the opponent’s fierce aura, Su Jiu felt it was much stronger than that mutated lion, possessing at least War General Level strength.
“Presumptuous!”
Seeing this, Lord Liu Yue took a slight step with his front hoof, and a water-like ripple spread outwards. The flow-resistant shield on his body expanded with a “bang.” The strange bird was crushed into a bloody mist in a mere conversation.
As blood splattered onto the energy shield, the other monsters immediately withdrew their gazes in fear, their eyes filled with dread. They suddenly remembered this person’s name.
The Lord of Bailu Plain – Lord Liu Yue!
Su Jiu swallowed, her mouth and tongue feeling a bit dry. She picked up the jade gourd at her waist and took a light sip. The chilliness cleared her head somewhat.
She suddenly felt Uncle Lu’s imposing aura return. Earlier, seeing him scroll through videos on his phone, she had forgotten that this person was the one even the awe-inspiring Mountain Lion King feared.
“It’s about two hours more.”
With no pests obstructing their path, Lord Liu Yue’s figure slid across the sky at an extremely rapid pace, heading straight for Huayang.
“Mommy, I also flew high like this in my dreams! I’ll take you to play like this too.”
E Huo was now hiding in Su Jiu’s sleeve, its cold body entwined around Su Jiu’s fair arm, wriggling gently. Its little head peeked out to look at the surroundings, emitting a proud voice.
Su Jiu gently tapped its head and chuckled, “How can you, little one, fly so high? Have you stored the little ‘Tang Tang’ that Uncle Lu gave you? Don’t start crying hungry later.”
Although Su Jiu said this, she knew that E Huo wasn’t joking; it truly possessed such abilities!
Su Jiu didn’t want her pet to become a tool on the battlefield like other beast pets. She genuinely liked E Huo, who was like a little girl.
So she chose to let E Huo believe it was ordinary. Su Jiu wouldn’t make any demands of it, but she would provide it with the best things, just like raising a daughter.
“Mhm! They’re all hidden in my tummy!” E Huo’s head rested on Su Jiu’s hand, yawning lazily, a look of satisfaction on its face.
“You glutton.”
“Hehe…”
Su Jiu chuckled and tapped its head. Out of boredom, she could only read the cached cultivation methods. After all, the internet connection was terrible when moving at high speed thousands of meters in the sky.
Upon first glance, Su Jiu had a blurry feeling. Although it was in simplified Chinese, she recognized every character, but when strung together, it was incomprehensible, leaving her to sigh.
Conclusion: Can’t understand, sniff sniff.
“Junior, do not be disheartened. Such a sword technique requires time and savoring, much like a cup of clear tea. Only by carefully pondering can one discern some of its essence,” Lord Liu Yue’s voice came from ahead, with a somewhat preachy tone.
Upon hearing this, Su Jiu was slightly stunned: “Savoring tea?”
She rather wished to savor it like iced green tea. Asking her, a modern person, to engage in the investigation of things and residing in bamboos, wasn’t that pure nonsense?
“You don’t have to do it this way, but you must be like the swordsmen of ancient times, driven by immense experience. However, I don’t think you are…”
As soon as Su Jiu finished speaking, Lord Liu Yue turned his head to glance at her with a strange expression. He didn’t speak too definitively because he had seen Su Jiu in battle.
Suddenly transforming from an unruly rogue into a sword master, was it because of that beast pet? But could such an improvement be so bizarre?
Even a high-ranking species shouldn’t be able to increase the proficiency of a certain skill!
His gaze fell on E Huo’s head on Su Jiu’s hand, with some confusion.
“Experience? E Huo, turn into a sword for me.”
Su Jiu followed Lord Liu Yue’s gaze. She seemed to have also thought of this. She gently flicked E Huo’s head. The latter reluctantly looked at Su Jiu and puffed out its cheeks: “Transforming like that will consume stamina!”
Despite what she said, she still complied with the order. A line of white light appeared.
“I’ll give you delicious food when we get back.”
“You promised!”
Su Jiu gripped the strangely colored broken sword again, and suddenly countless understandings of swordsmanship surged into her mind. She felt as if she had traversed a thousand years as a swordsman…
Su Jiu picked up her phone again and found that what she couldn’t understand before, she could now read at lightning speed, and even the obscure passages could be easily comprehended.
She couldn’t help but sigh slightly: “Am I really a genius?”
Lord Liu Yue: ……
Another ten minutes passed. Su Jiu felt as if she had been irrigated. She truly understood it. This sword technique was entirely for close combat, no wonder the senior Jing Zi could break through the demonic beasts seven times.
And Lord Liu Yue’s sword qi was more like an auxiliary skill.
Then, Su Jiu closed her phone, gripped the sword, and began to swing it. Gradually, a mysterious and profound feeling emanated from her. A touch of coldness emerged around her, not frost, but the coldness unique to a moonlit night.
Sensing the anomaly behind him, Lord Liu Yue was slightly startled. He turned to look and said with disbelief, “Has she already achieved minor success? How is that possible?”
……
Huayang, city center large open-air stadium.
In the audience seats, Bai Qianyu scanned the onlookers dressed in guard uniforms who were subtly surrounding them. Her gaze landed on the slightly thin young man in the center, who clenched his fist slightly before gritting his teeth and speaking out,
“Not only did you kill people and then slander us, but now you want to arrest us? This is Huayang, not your Li family’s territory!”
The young man looked over with interest and smiled faintly, saying to those guards, “Forget it, they are just students.”
Then he pointed to the real duel arena in the center of the field and smiled at Bai Qianyu, “I accept your challenge. But it has to be there… If you lose, will you be my girlfriend? If I lose— I’ll do as you say and apologize to that Su Jiu or Su Ba.”
Publisher’s Note
New book release, going through the usual process for everyone.
Wuwu, I’m so miserable, especially miserable. I’ve been feeling unwell lately, with splitting headaches, toothaches, headaches, and eye pain…
I beg all uncles, aunts, brothers, sisters, younger brothers, and younger sisters to subscribe. Otherwise, I might die…
[PS: The act of pity is over, but I have had some reactions lately, my hands and things are a bit sore. I can’t rule out playing games late at night.]
The book will be released at 12 tonight. The author has no backlog. I’ve been doing outdoor practice frequently lately, so I’ll most likely only manage three chapters as a minimum, and I’ll make up for it later.
The author can’t make big promises, so I can only do my best. I can guarantee no dropping chapters, no delaying chapters, and no skipping chapters. I should be able to achieve this after the release.
Regarding the setting, it is indeed similar to the worldview of “Full-Time Master” (but there are many differences. If everyone reads carefully, they should be able to find them.)
The general tone of the plot: The protagonist travels through the clash of swords and blades, constantly growing stronger. She will meet various friends; they gather and disperse, but they protect what belongs to them in this world.
Perhaps this will be a poem of heroism, but her companions and friends will not just be decorative vases for singing.
The content direction, my dear friends, will unfold as you read. I won’t spoil it anymore ₍˄·͈༝·͈˄*₎◞ ̑̑
Regarding other aspects, everyone can probably tell that the author’s combat scenes are different from those on Pineapple Bag’s novels. I am meticulously and meticulously depicting the fights (it’s really difficult to write). I mainly want the fights to instill that immersive sense of passion in everyone.
This is an attempt. I don’t know if it will work?
……
Well, that’s all I have to say. I hope everyone can support me tomorrow. If you have monthly passes, please cast them. If you don’t have monthly passes, the author doesn’t ask for much, just a subscription or a free like for support.
