Bai Xiaozhao was lazy, but when she spotted Chu Xisheng’s figure, her eyes lit up and she turned into a white light with a ’whoosh’, rushing into Chu Xisheng’s arms. Chu Yunyun also turned her head, smiling sweetly towards Chu Xisheng. She had actually sensed Chu Xisheng’s arrival long ago. When Chu Xisheng was piloting the sword boat, his entire aura was concealed to almost nothing, and the Heavenly Punishment Blade Intent obscured it. Ordinary Martial Cultivators would find it hard to detect Chu Xisheng’s traces, but it couldn’t fool her; she just pretended not to know. Lu Luanti sensed Chu Xisheng’s presence through the courtyard wall. She was originally sparring with Liu Ruoxi, and at this moment, her sword skill suddenly became fierce. "Clank! Clank! Clank!" Lu Luanti used three consecutive strikes, all hitting the weak points of Liu Ruoxi’s sword skill, sending her Twin Blades flying high into the air, then coolly and neatly sheathed her blade. "See? He’s back, I guessed it would be these days—" Lu Luanti also smiled towards Chu Xisheng, then she was briefly stunned, pondering where this handsome young man came from? This man’s facial features and appearance were strikingly similar to Chu Xisheng, yet somewhat different. He seemed more refined and charming, and he seemed to be glowing. Lu Luanti subsequently realized that this must be Chu Xisheng having successfully awakened ’Luo Hou’. It’s said this ’Luo Hou’ bloodline can make a man more handsome, and it turns out to be true. Lu Luanti felt her heart racing wildly, beyond her control. She was secretly annoyed in her heart. This bastard is clearly a man, why does he have to be so handsome? Making her feel flustered with even just a glance. Across from her, Liu Ruoxi was extremely dejected. In the three months while Chu Xisheng was away, she had advanced her cultivation to Sixth Grade, bringing up several bloodline talents. Normally, she could withstand hundreds of rounds against Lu Luanti, but today, when Lu Luanti got serious, she defeated her with only three strikes. And this Senior Sister Lu was using the same level of strength as her. Liu Ruoxi then calmed her emotions, and she, along with Zhoou Liangchen who was watching beside her, saluted Chu Xisheng: "Subordinate greets the lord! Welcome the lord’s return." "No need for formalities." Chu Xisheng chuckled, and with a wave of Vigorous Force, lifted the two of them into the air remotely. As he landed, the sword boat transformed into the shape of a sword box with a ’swish swish swish’, floating by Chu Xisheng’s side. This was another wonderful use of the sword box. Chu Xisheng didn’t have to carry it around everywhere; the sword box itself had the abilities of hovering and Light Escape, closely following by his side. Chu Xisheng then patted Liu Ruoxi’s shoulder: "Your sword skill isn’t bad, it’s at the Super Heavenly Pillar Level. But are you sure you want to mainly pursue the Heaven Slaying Blade?" Liu Ruoxi’s sword skill was indeed very fierce, unmatched among her peers. She indeed had nothing to be dejected about. If Liu Ruoxi was three-fifths of the Dominating Martial King, then Lu Luanti’s talent was ninety percent of the Dominating Martial King, only slightly weaker. Had she not been held back by Dual Cultivation of Magic and Martial Arts, she would have long been at Fourth Grade. Moreover, the foundations and Martial Arts accumulations of both sides were different. Liu Ruoxi’s expression slightly tightened, clasped her fists and said: "This is exactly my intention! My talent should be able to go further on the Heaven Punishment Blade, though the Vengeance Blade will not be set aside." Chu Xisheng thought that even for the ’Heaven Punishment Blade’, it wasn’t so easy to cultivate! Liu Ruoxi’s talent, in fact, was not even on par with Ye Zhiqiu’s. The latter had traditional abilities, and once his Bloodline Talent was fully developed, he could match Ji Qianqian, equivalent to eight-tenths of the Dominating Martial King. Therefore, Ye Zhiqiu could enter Su Fengdao’s vision, but Liu Ruoxi couldn’t catch Su Fengdao’s eye. Liu Ruoxi’s current rapid progress in cultivation was entirely supported by the resources of the Iron Banner Gang, with a good supply of elixirs, and the best Spirit Gathering Array of Sky Wave Residence. The Sect now also paid considerable attention to her, arranging renowned instructors for her guidance. The earlier Ye Zhiqiu, being solitary, never had such conditions. However, this girl’s future in the Heaven Punishment Blade was indeed stronger than the Vengeance Blade. Qin Muge had the family-passed bloodline ’Guiyi’, which Liu Ruoxi lacked, and it was a Bloodline Ability even Chu Xisheng’s system couldn’t help her condense. "Very well!" Chu Xisheng nodded slightly: "No matter if it’s the Vengeance Blade or the Heaven Slaying Blade, if you encounter any difficulties in practice, you may come to me for guidance." In fact, Liu Ruoxi’s best teacher was Chu Yunyun. Unfortunately, due to identity constraints, Chu Yunyun couldn’t personally mentor her. Chu Xisheng thought that if Liu Ruoxi had the opportunity in the future and established enough merit, it wouldn’t hurt to let Chu Yunyun take her on a journey to help her condense Luo Hou’s Blood. As long as she had Luo Hou, this girl could still reach Holy Transmission Level. Chu Xisheng then looked towards Zhoou Liangchen, observing that this guy stood there, his aura profound and unshakable, steady as a rock, deep as a great chasm. Chu Xisheng immediately knew that Zhoou Liangchen’s Martial Arts had also progressed swiftly. "Liang Chen, your Lone Boat Martial Intent is also well cultivated, showing a hint of sailing in the Mad Sea." Zhoou Liangchen’s family-passed cultivation technique was ’Mad Sea Lone Boat’. It emphasized navigating against the tide in turbulent waves, perceiving the True Intent of Martial Arts in adversity and peril. This Martial Arts path, when taken to the extreme, is ’Heavenly Reversal’. Currently, no one in the entire Human Clan has been able to promote this Martial Intent to Holy Transmission Level, and historically, only a few people managed to reach the First Grade, but they didn’t leave behind complete legacies. However, this Martial Arts itself is incredibly powerful, capable of reversing Time Order, reversing Heavenly Dao, reversing any Heavenly Rules and Laws.
