Chapter 88: Elder Bing — One Dares to Teach, One Dares to Learn

Chapter 88: Elder Bing — One Dares to Teach, One Dares to Learn Night fell on the Miscellaneous Dao Institute, within the main annex. Chu Feng was immersed in reading, having developed the good habit of staying up late and rising late through years of cultivation. In the room next door, Elder Bing sat cross-legged, quietly cultivating. She appeared calm as a mountain, but in truth, she was feeling extremely stifled. After nightfall, she had been waiting for that brat Chu Feng to come humiliate her. Of course, she wasn’t someone who would take humiliation lying down. She had already prepared several countermeasures against that brat Chu Feng. As long as he dared to humiliate her, she would let him witness her wrath. Time ticked by minute by minute. When midnight came, Elder Bing suddenly opened her eyes and muttered, "Why hasn’t that brat Chu Feng come to humiliate me?" Achoo! In the room next door, Chu Feng sneezed, rubbed his nose, and muttered, "Who’s talking about how handsome I am this late at night?" He quickly brushed the thought aside and set down the Spring and Autumn Annals by his pillow. Since he had to guide Xiao Chen in cultivation tomorrow, he decided to reward himself with one night of not staying up. Chu Feng tucked himself in and drifted off to a peaceful sleep. As for asking Elder Bing to bring him foot-washing water—he had already forgotten all about it. Elder Bing didn’t sleep all night. At dawn, as the sun began to rise— She suddenly heard movement from the room next door and immediately closed her eyes again, wanting to see if that guy would come give her trouble. To her surprise, that brat Chu Feng didn’t come to bother her at all. She was slightly confused but also curious about one thing: why had the disciples of the Miscellaneous Dao Institute improved so drastically after joining? She immediately spread her divine sense over the entire institute. Soon, her divine sense located Xiao Chen and the others moving together toward the rear mountain. At that moment, the female disciple named Qin Qin was already cultivating. As a master from the Heavenly Spirit Institute, Elder Bing immediately noticed the profound and mysterious nature of this girl’s cultivation method. She would definitely break through to the True Fate Realm within three months. Before long, a look of surprise appeared on Elder Bing’s face. A chubby little disciple at the Body Tempering Realm was practicing a seemingly soft and sluggish set of boxing techniques. At first glance, it looked completely ordinary. But on a second look— Elder Bing realized that the chubby disciple’s boxing style contained the Dao of Yin-Yang and the Five Elements. Every move and every stance was in harmony with the natural order of the world. Hiss... Where did that brat Chu Feng find such a technique? Why was it so unique? No—I must observe this up close. With that thought, Elder Bing withdrew her divine sense and quietly made her way toward the rear mountain. After a few steps, she saw that brat Chu Feng also walking toward the rear mountain. Chu Feng, at this moment, was admiring the mountain scenery as he walked. Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks and thought to himself: Strange, why do I feel like I’m being watched? Chu Feng shook his head. There was no one paying him any attention out here. After walking a few hundred steps, Chu Feng spotted a group of disciples doing their morning training. "Master!" "At ease." Chu Feng gave everyone a gentle smile, then turned his gaze to Xiao Chen. "Xiao Chen, how does it feel after reaching mastery in sword intent?" The moment Xiao Chen defeated Qin Rou yesterday, Chu Feng had received a system notification: Xiao Chen’s sword intent had reached mastery. Host’s Sword Dao Comprehension +2. With just those two points, Chu Feng’s understanding of the Sword Dao had taken another leap. Xiao Chen respectfully replied, "Master, my Dao heart is now more resolute. I have reached the state of ‘no sword in hand, sword in the heart.’" "Very good." Chu Feng turned to Wang Baole and said, "Little fatty, bring Master’s wooden sword." "On it!" Wang Baole cheerfully ran off behind a large boulder. Before long, he returned holding a wooden sword and handed it to Chu Feng. Chu Feng accepted the sword and said to Xiao Chen, "Today, your master will teach you the Taiji Sword Technique—not just basic moves, but the essence of Taiji sword intent." The moment he said that, all the disciples present—except for Xiao Chen—were stunned. Not far away, Elder Bing, who was secretly observing, nearly burst out laughing. That brat Chu Feng really talks big. Even I wouldn't dare claim to teach someone sword intent. And he's just a mortal, yet he dares spout such arrogant words. Xiao Chen’s eyes lit up. "Master, please demonstrate it for me." With the wooden sword in hand, Chu Feng summoned the sword intent of the Taiji Sword Technique in his mind. His body began to move instinctively, guiding the wooden sword through the air. At first, Chu Feng moved slowly. Every movement and stance was methodical and precise. But as time passed, his swordplay suddenly became illusory. In an instant, multiple afterimages of Chu Feng appeared on the open ground. The disciples watched, dazed and dazzled. Moments later, Chu Feng stopped and asked, "Disciple, did you memorize it all?" Xiao Chen nodded. "Master, I’ve memorized everything." The other disciples immediately congratulated him. "Senior Brother is amazing!" "Senior Brother is truly the sword genius of our Miscellaneous Dao Institute!" Qin Qin: "..." Elder Bing: ??? Wasn’t this brat supposed to be teaching sword intent? Why does it look like a bunch of useless sword moves? I could do that too. Why can’t I sense the strength behind it? Chu Feng chuckled and said, "Then I’ll demonstrate it once more." With that, he began to perform the sword form again. Soon, Chu Feng finished the second round of the technique. But this time, the disciples noticed something strange—Master’s moves were slightly different from before. Elder Bing also sensed this. Though she didn’t fully grasp it, a hint of understanding flickered within her. She just couldn’t quite capture it. Chu Feng asked, "Chen’er, how much did you remember this time?" Xiao Chen replied, "Master, I’m dull-witted and forgot half of it." Chu Feng’s eyes lit up. This kid really is the fated one I chose—he’s no weaker than Zhang Wuji, that martial arts prodigy. And he’s even better in one regard—he’s not indecisive. "Then Master shall show you once more." Chu Feng resumed his demonstration. The disciples all focused intently once again. "How much did you forget this time?" Chu Feng asked. "Master, this time I only remembered one-third," Xiao Chen answered calmly. From her hidden spot, Elder Bing’s eyes flickered with astonishment. "This... this Chu Feng, he’s really teaching sword intent, not sword techniques. These two... one dares to teach, the other dares to learn!" As her shock grew, Chu Feng had already begun the final demonstration. Elder Bing didn’t dare let her mind wander and focused all her attention on this mysterious sword technique. When Chu Feng had wielded the sword earlier, he hadn’t released even a trace of cultivation. Yet the sword intent flowing from his swordplay was extraordinary. She faintly sensed that if she could just comprehend this sword intent, she would surely rise to another level. Just as Elder Bing was about to grasp the core of that sword intent, a voice suddenly rang in her ear—disrupting her thoughts... ==================================================================================== Get access to 20 chapters in advance and enjoy 2 daily updates by supporting the series.
