Of the thirty-seven talented students selected by the Muses' Academy in Namyun County, six died during this ordeal, leaving thirty-one survivors. [To read the latest chapters of the book, please visit.]
Although there were still heavy losses, telling He Yunlou this was already the best outcome.
Who hasn't encountered some unexpected situations?
Thus, the Silver Moon ship set sail once more.
Xue Yingrou was a woman of great elegance. With her fair skin, golden hair, and slender figure, she stood opposite Zhang Ruochin, less than two meters away.
Zhang Ruochin could clearly smell the faint fragrance of flowers emanating from her.
Her voice was soft and shy, as she said, "Thank you, Senior Brother, for saving my life. May I ask your name?"
Zhang Ruochin glared at her and said, "Zhang Ruochin."
Xue Yingrou immediately remembered the name, and with a graceful smile, said: "Xue Yingrou. Senior brother's swordsmanship is truly amazing, I think he has already reached the pinnacle of 'sword following heart'. I wonder if he would be willing to give me a few pointers?"
Zhang Ruchen said: "Snow Girl, I think the most important thing for you now is to recuperate your injuries. After your injuries have healed, we can discuss martial arts again."
"Hee hee! I'll just take that as Zhang Senior Brother agreeing! Once my injuries heal, you absolutely must give me guidance, no shirking!" Xue Ying said with a soft smile.
It's hard to say, a beauty like Xue Yingrou, when she smiles, is truly beautiful. It's almost like a fairy descending to earth, enough to stir a man's heartstrings.
Once Xue Yingrou left, Duanmu Xingling swooped down from the ship's mast with a whoosh, landing behind Zhang Ruochin and smiling, "Zhang Ruochin, you are truly charming. You've only just arrived in Dongyu Shentu, and already there are beauties so enamored with you. Haven't you been bewitched by her?"
"How is that possible?" Zhang Ruochin smiled.
<<"Cut!" <<
>>Dumuxingling looked skeptical, crossing her arms and a gleam flashed in her eyes. Mimicking Xueyingrou's voice, she said, "Brother, when I recover from my injuries, you must teach me, don't back out." Hearing this, I really wanted to slap her. <
Zhang Ruochin smiled wryly and said, “Senior Sister Duanmu, do you think I’m the kind of person who can’t resist temptation?”
"That's not necessarily true, men! They always eat what's in their bowls while eyeing what's in others'. They'll never be satisfied. Since Chen Jie isn't here, I have to keep an eye on her a bit more. A vixen like her better rein it in, or else, I'll make sure she dies a horrible death."
<<< Duanmu Xingling stood tall, chest puffed out, chin raised, with a hint of disdain in her eyes. Then she continued, "Moreover, I think that Xue Yingrou is rather melodramatic and opportunistic. If you told her that you were a martial artist from Tianmo Ridge, hailing from a remote, inferior county, it would be a miracle if she even acknowledged your existence.

Zhang Ruochin stared at Duanmu Xingling's proud and aloof look. In fact, he could tell that she was worried about being captivated by Xue Yingrou and falling into a trap.
It's quite normal, actually. Warriors from the Eastern Divine Lands naturally look down on those from places like the Heavenly Demon Ridge. In their eyes, the Heavenly Demon Ridge is still a barbaric and uncivilized land, like a remote and backward village.
Zhang Ruochin could probably see that Xue Yinjiao's initiative to approach him stemmed partly from Zhang Ruochin saving her when she was in the most danger, and partly because she likely saw Zhang Ruochin as a prodigious son of heaven.
She probably wouldn't even look at him twice if she knew he was just some nobody from a remote village like Tian Mo Ling.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ? Of course, Zhang Ruochin didn't care what Xue Yinger thought.
Zhang Ruochin smiled and said, "Senior Sister Duanmu, just rest assured! Do you think I'm the kind of person who is easily seduced by beauty? In my opinion, Senior Sister Duanmu is even more beautiful than her."
"You still have some vision."
Duanmu Xiling's heart was filled with a secret delight. She was brimming with confidence. A mere Xue Ying Rou, how could she compare to me? If you were to see my true face, wouldn't you be astonished?
Of course, Duanmu Xingling's face would not show that smug expression. Instead, she coldly glared at Zhang Ruochin and said, "Slick-talking scoundrel, you've learned bad habits from Chang Qiqi!"
<<>>
Zhang Ruochin was stunned. Wasn't it just a compliment? How did he become a wastrel?

A dim cabin. Seven or eight gifted students gathered together.
"Big brother, I just saw Xue Shijie go to find that boy, and they were laughing."
A prodigious student stood before Zihan Sha, fists clenched, face grim, and said angrily.
Let me know if you have more text you'd like me to translate! ? Another genius student also snorted coldly and said, “Damn it, he actually dares to steal the master brother's woman. He doesn't want to live anymore!”
"Sister Xue is our Nan Yun County's number one beauty, she absolutely cannot be taken away by him. Big brother, we all know that you and Sister Xue are the golden boy and girl, a perfect match."
The students present, most of whom harbored secret affections for Xue Yingrou, naturally disapproved of Xue Yingrou's interactions with Zhang Ruochin.
However, they were all aware of their own limitations and knew they were no match for Zhang Ruochin. That's why they conspired together to incite Zi Hansha.
Only Zihan Sha can teach Zhang Ruochin a lesson.
Zǐ Hán Shā has always been a proud and arrogant person. In Nányún County, he was undefeated among his peers. Even though Zhāng Ruòchén had previously displayed formidable strength, he still had confidence in defeating him.
Moreover, Zhang Ruochin had previously overshadowed him, leaving him with a bit of resentment in his heart.
<<>>
Whoever dares to touch, whoever will die.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! <<>>
??? was worrying those students, who thought that Zihan Sha wouldn't intervene in this matter.
<<
"So, Big Brother is getting ready to teach that kid a lesson?" Hehe!"
Zihansha said, "It's just a martial arts sparring."
As soon as this was said, the cabin erupted in a series of laughter.
???... Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated! ?
After Zhang Ruochen returned to his cabin, he immediately took out the Time-Space Crystal and entered its inner space through it. He continued refining the Dragon Pearl.
Now, in his dantian, there are 696 drops of true essence.
If one operates the and mobilizes thirty-six meridians, using all their strength to refine a Dragon Pearl, they can increase approximately eighty drops of True Yuan each day.
Even with such a fast cultivation speed, it would still take a lot of time to reach ten thousand drops of true essence.
Only after cultivating one thousand drops of true essence can one strike the late stage of Heavenly Pole Realm.
After seven days of cultivation, Zhang Ruochen's true essence in the Qi Sea reached 1,207 drops. He finally consolidated his realm in the middle stage of the Tianji Realm.
On the Yin Yue ship, Zhang Ruochu couldn't stay in seclusion forever. So, after seven days, he walked out of the time and space crystal and went to visit Lin Fei.
From Tianshilong all the way to now, Kong Xuan has been taking care of Lin Fei along the way.
Kǒng xuān did his best, and became like a little maid by Lín fēi's side, taking care of her meticulously.
After seeing Lin Fei, he also pointed out some things about cultivation to Kong Xuan. Only then did Zhang Ruochin go out.
He had not taken a few steps when he met Xue Yingrou again.
They looked at each other, both with faint smiles on their faces.
Because her injuries have healed, Xueying Rou's spirit is much better than a few days ago. Her eyes are incredibly bright, her skin is smooth, and even her temperament has become more elegant.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated! She stood on the deck, with white clouds behind her and a bright blue sky. It was like a fairy painting.
"Senior Zhang, my injuries have healed. Can you now teach me a few sword techniques?" Xueying's eyelashes were long and delicate, her red lips glistening. Even her voice sounded like music to the ears.
Zhang Ruochin smiled and was about to reply.
Behind him, footsteps could be heard.
<<>>
Zhang Ruochin turned around and looked. He saw twelve talented students in silver robes walking past. The man at the front was Zi Hansha, the eldest brother of the Martial Arts Academy in Nanyun County.
<>Indeed, he is a talented individual. He is tall and imposing with sword-like eyebrows and hawk-like eyes. Just his presence exudes a commanding aura.
<>
Even without opening his heavenly eyes, Zhang Ruochin's current spiritual power could easily see through Zihansha's strength.
This person's cultivation has reached the Heavenly Extreme Realm, Small Extremity. It is two realms higher than Zhang Ruichen.
Moreover, his talent should also be extremely high. The aura emanating from him is stronger than some Great Accomplishment Heavenly Extreme Realm martial artists.
"My name is Zi Han Sha, and I am the eldest disciple of Wushi Academy in Nanyun County."
"Zǐhán Shā stopped three zhang away from Zhāng Ruochén, and first introduced himself."
"Oh, so it's someone of the senior brother level. No wonder they are so powerful."
Whether it's in the Wushi Academy or those sects, people are generally ranked not by age but by strength.
Only the most capable individual is worthy of becoming the eldest brother.
Of course, there are exceptions.
For example, that elder brother was indeed older and also a person of great character. Everyone still respected him and continued to treat him as the eldest brother.
Just like Si Xingkong.
Zhang Ruochin glanced at Zi Hansha and said, “My name is Zhang Ruochin. I’ve met you before, Senior Brother Zi. What you just said was all a joke! With your cultivation base of the Xiaogui stage in the Heavenly Pole realm, how could I possibly give you pointers?”
Zihansha shook his hand and said, "Zhang shidi, you don't need to be humble. When you fought against the Crimson Crowing Raven, I already saw you displaying your marvelous swordsmanship, leaving me in awe. I have always wanted to learn a few moves from you."
Of course, Zihansha wouldn't think she was truly inferior to Zhang Ruochin in her heart.
The higher you lift him now, the harder he will fall later, won't he? |
