Chapter 67: Impure Sword Cultivator
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Sect Master!” Making use of the break time, Sister Si Yu, who had the softest character, could not help but go to stop that cheat who was passing by.
“Hey, Sister Little Green.”
Lonemoon took a glance, thinking: who was Sister Little Green? Upon turning around to look, he realized that the disciple named Si Yu was wearing a green dress...
Indeed... she was still not able to remember names!
“Want to eat?” Shen Ying asked as she munched on her fruit.
“No... no need!” Si Yu bashfully pushed back a proffered fruit. “I only have a question to... consult Sect Master about.”
“Go ahead.” Shen Ying nodded in a very easygoing manner.
“What... did you think of our sword moves just now? What are we lacking?”
“Cheh!” Lonemoon immediately rolled his eyes. Like she would know anything.
“It... was pretty good.” As expected, Shen Ying froze for a moment and she looked left and right before squeezing out, “Perhaps what you’re lacking is in... strength?”
Si Yu looked blank.
“Isn’t there the saying: one strong man can defeat ten skillful ones!”
Lonemoon: You copycat!
Si Yu stood there blankly for a while before her eyes lit up along with the rest of the girls around them. With a look of revelation, she said, “I understand now. Thank you for your guidance, Sect Master!”
Hey, you guys really believed it?!
o(╯□╰)o
Wait a moment!
Why did this conversation sound so familiar? Yi Qing’s face of a brain-damaged fan immediately surfaced in his mind.
Would they also...
He immediately swept his gaze across all the girls present. Thank goodness, no one had an epiphany.
Even Si Yu also only gave a deep bow and ran back to continue practicing. The only difference now was that they were even more hardworking compared to before. The rest of them also began swinging their swords, using more force for every move.
Lonemoon finally heaved a sigh of relief. On the next day, to prevent Shen Ying from giving nonsensical advice and interrupting his teaching plan, he purposely set up a transportation array between the newly built kitchen and the radish’s plot of vegetation, thereby cutting off the need for her to walk past the area when she helped a certain chef take the side dishes.
The strange thing was that the girls’ enthusiasm in learning did not diminish due to not seeing their admired idol, but instead they became even more hardworking. Their sword strokes became fiercer and tougher, and they even shortened their break times on their own accord. Sometimes even in the night, he accidentally spread his Divine Perception only to realize that they had secretly gone to practice with their bare hands facing the stone walls.
Something just seemed amiss... but what exactly was it?
He thought for a long while but just could not put his finger on it. All he could do was to remind them to strike a proper balance between practice and rest during his lessons. However, they did not seem to give up that momentum of using all their might to practice. Their techniques became more proficient, their bodies grew stronger, their strength also grew and the atmosphere around them became... less like Sword Cultivators?
(O_O)?
It was not until a few months later when he organized a mini competition that Sister Si Yu, the originally most petite in size, suddenly threw away the sword in her hand and held up her fists and with a crashing sound, smashed a punch right into the stone wall ahead.
Lonemoon: “...”
Looking at the biceps on her arm, he had a moment of eureka and finally understood what had been amiss.
That strength and the fighting style, those fists full of killing intent...
That was not sword cultivation. That was purely body cultivation!
(╯‵□′)╯(┻━┻
Holy shit! He got them to practice swords, not to train their bodies! They grew more fierce and ferocious, not wanting to use swords and only liked to use their fists to solve problems. What was happening to them? What about the sword moves he taught them? Were those eaten up?
“Huh. Why do I feel like my Spirit Qi is growing increasingly stronger today?” Si Yu suddenly furrowed her brows after winning the match.
“Oh no! Junior Sister, you are going to complete your Core Formation!” Yu Hong was surprised as she shouted, “Quick, have a seat. Concentrate, gather your Qi and focus on your Core Formation.”
Suddenly, the level of Spirit Qi in the surrounding spiked as it was all drawn towards Si Yu.
Level... level up?
(⊙_⊙)
“The most fearful thing during Core Formation would be to get interrupted. Everyone step back.” Lonemoon stepped forward and set up a few array formations to gather Spirit Qi and brought away the others by dozens of meters.
The sky immediately turned dark as thunder clouds gathered above. The Spirit Qi in the center of the arena was rising and the might of the world was faintly transmitting over.
These were nothing to the Soul Formation cultivator Lonemoon, but it was a great might to the disciples below the Golden Core stage. But just as he was about to set up an isolating array, he turned to see that four to five people seemed to have been affected by the might of the world and were immediately sitting on the spot to meditate. Even their cultivations went up a level.
Holy shit, how is this possible?!
That’s it, that’s it, that’s it...
One was completing Core Formation while another four or five of them were advancing by another minor realm. With the foundation of a Body Cultivator, there was no turning back. What the hell, did it have to be so tragic?! He had undoubtedly taught sword cultivation, so why had they all practiced body cultivation?
∑q|゚Д゚|p
What were Body Cultivators? They were a bunch of people who only knew how to talk with their fists and had no skills whatsoever, training only their bodies!Aren’t you guys a group of girls? Why did they all want to be like those demons and creatures treading such a ferocious path? What was good about having rough skin and thick muscles as a Body Cultivator? Were there not only a few male Body Cultivators in the entire Three Azure Realms, much less females?
Why did you guys take things so hard?!
He suddenly saw an obscure vision of the entire sect being filled with iron barbies in the future.
Damn it. His heart was tired and he wanted to quit!
——————
This time, Si Yu’s lightning tribulation went on for four hours. Each lightning bolt struck harder than the previous one, not straying far from the intensity of a Nascent Soul’s lightning tribulation. Body Cultivators walked the path of putting oneself through the mill. Every strike of lightning would break off each meridian of the person under tribulation and use the Spirit Qi to recover them. This was to achieve the aim of reconstructing the body which was why compared to other cultivators, the lightning tribulation of Body Cultivators was more ferocious and fearsome. There were 81 strikes of lightning in total and every one of them signified a rebirth.
There were barely any Body Cultivators in the Three Azure Realms and even for the ones that existed, they would die from the bolts of lightning during their first Core Formation. A human body was not as tough as the demons’. However, Sister Si Yu forcibly held on. Even after the 81 strikes of lightning had ended and she was only left with a bloody frame, she gritted her teeth to complete her Core Formation.
After the thunder clouds dissipated, the sky began to shower down spirit rain which all fell upon the person who had taken the tribulation. Sister Si Yu’s body began to grow flesh and muscles then gradually regained a human look, but she was still too weak to get up.
After exactly half a month’s time, she finally recovered and her cultivation stabilized. Even the rest of them had grown in their cultivation. Although they were unlike Si Yu who had directly completed her Core Formation, they were at least improving by a minor realm. Their cultivation of the body had already become a fact that could not be changed.
After understanding this point, Lonemoon wanted to tear Shen Ying apart with his hands!
Look at what this cheat had done! It was all because of that saying, one strong man can overcome ten, that caused everyone to walk on this crooked path.
Give me back my students!
The odd thing, however, was that all of them were not against becoming Body Cultivators, but they were instead... pleasantly surprised?! From the second day onwards, they happily tossed aside their swords and began to purely practice their body and fists as if... finally affirming an open secret.
Lonemoon who had always thought that he had been teaching Sword Cultivators — Son of a b*tch!
Was he the only one who thought that they wanted to become Sword Cultivators?!
Hmph, brain damaged fans!
If you all have so many ideas, why are you guys still here? I can’t be bothered anymore!
Lonemoon was about to throw away his responsibility and quit, but upon receiving a certain unexpected news, he immediately suppressed the urge to do so.
