Time ticked by, second by second.
Before long, Li Ping had prepared the tea, holding the cup as she walked out. She approached Su Chen, but she didn’t speak; instead, she patiently waited, not disturbing him.
A little while later, Su Chen suddenly opened his eyes, glanced at Li Ping, and smiled slightly as he reached out to take the teacup, "It’s done. I’ve deduced the ’Divine Blood Sword’ to the Perfection Realm. Let’s have a cup of tea, and then I’ll start teaching you."
"Get out! Get out!!!" Li Ping was first stunned and then her face turned as cold as ice. She was genuinely angry, thinking that Su Chen was making a fool of her.
How long had it been? The time it takes for an incense stick to burn, right?
In the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, even for a top prodigy, it’s impossible to deduce a Half-Step Dao Level martial skill even to the Basic Entry level!
Back then, it had taken her thirteen days just to barely reach Basic Entry. This text is hosted at NoveI~Fire.net
And Su Chen, in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn? Deduced it to Perfection Realm? This joke isn’t funny, really not funny.
Was Su Chen treating her like a fool?
Li Ping’s beautiful eyes were incredibly cold, almost fiery, and even her aura became somewhat irritable.
"I am really an idiot to have believed this bastard!" Li Ping cursed herself inwardly, her breathing became rapid, she was genuinely angry.
"Don’t be so agitated, what if I really have comprehended it to Perfection?" Su Chen smiled, unsurprised by Li Ping’s attitude, as anyone else would find it impossible to accept.
"I said, get out!!!" Li Ping’s voice grew colder, each word sharp like ice cones, and now she held a sword in her hand, its tip directly pointing at Su Chen.
Su Chen shook his head, a mix of crying and laughter, as his Mind moved and the Heavy Divine Sword appeared in his hand.
Seeing Su Chen draw his sword, Li Ping felt her heart sink and grow incredibly heavy, believing that Su Chen was ready to fight her.
Her vigilance skyrocketed, her beautiful eyes fixed on Su Chen, motionless.
Yet Su Chen stepped back a few steps, smiled faintly, "Watch closely!"
As his voice fell, Su Chen’s wrist suddenly flicked.
With that flick, Su Chen himself seemed to become one with the sword, completely fusing with the Heavy Divine Sword in his hand, creating the illusion of a Sword God in this world.
Su Chen’s aura violently changed, becoming unstoppable, intensely fierce, and oppressively bloody.
Suddenly, Su Chen’s aura exploded, scattering around and blending into the air, and with that explosive release of aura, the Heavy Divine Sword in Su Chen’s hand resonated with a hissing sound, spreading waves.
These waves, in front of the sword’s blade, noticeably, the Real Space of the Void was crazily collapsing, from one point to an area, and then to a vast space.
Not far away, Li Ping was frozen in place! It was as though her thoughts were devoured!
Before long, Su Chen sheathed his sword, and looked at Li Ping, "Do you believe it now? This is how fast I train martial skills. I learn them at a glance, there’s no helping it! You may not believe it, but you have to believe it!"
What Su Chen had just demonstrated was indeed the ’Divine Blood Sword’ at its Perfection Realm, and Li Ping could be a thousand percent sure that Su Chen had truly cultivated to the Perfection Realm, and moreover, this Perfection Realm seemed even stronger and more adept than her father’s.
After dozens of breaths.
Huff huff huff huff...
Li Ping was like someone who had just been saved from drowning, breathing heavily for a long time before she asked with a trembling voice, "Have you... have you practiced the ’Divine Blood Sword’ before?"
"I arrived at Nan E Ancient Capital today."
Even if it shocked her, even if she couldn’t believe it, the fact was that Su Chen had indeed practiced the "Divine Blood Sword" for the first time, and had mastered it to Perfection within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn!
Li Ping suddenly felt defeated!!!
She had always known that she wasn’t a top prodigy, at least not compared to Mu Shaoze, Nangong Wu, and others in terms of talent for martial cultivation.
She only admitted to being slightly inferior, a gap that she could bridge through hard work.
But now compared to Su Chen?
This wasn’t a matter of catching up.
It was the difference between heaven and earth!
Li Ping was truly devastated, even a bit bewildered.
"Cough cough, Li Ping, don’t feel defeated, actually, you don’t need to compare yourself with me, I have only been cultivating martial arts for about two or three years! Look, this is my strength now, if you compare yourself with me, it’s already too late to even die!" Su Chen’s sharp tongue lashed out, meant to jar Li Ping out of obsessing over the comparison, lest she be depressed every day, better to let her despair at once.
"Two or three years?" Li Ping trembled slightly, her lips parting slightly.
"Yes, I started cultivating at the age of twenty," Su Chen nodded, this was the truth. In this life, when he was reborn, he was just a normal person, around twenty years old at that time, and now at twenty-three, he had really only been cultivating for about two or three years.
"Teach me!" Li Ping was silent for a long time, then nearly gritted her teeth as she spoke.
"Of course, didn’t I practice the ’Divine Blood Sword’ just to teach you?" Su Chen said with a smile.
Su Chen began to teach Li Ping seriously.
Moreover, this was not ordinary teaching, but hands-on guidance.
Every so often, he would embrace Li Ping.
Li Ping could feel that Su Chen was doing it on purpose, but, she also felt that what Su Chen taught was correct; she began to understand the "Divine Blood Sword" from the basics to the intricate details. If this continued, it wouldn’t be long before she could reach the Perfection Realm.
So, it could be said that she was in pain and pleasure.
For two Shichen she eventually got used to being embraced by Su Chen, she just went with it, after all, as Su Chen had said, in Vast Mountain, she and Su Chen had already had the closest relationship, now, what was hugging and embracing? She moved her boundaries for Su Chen a bit further back again.
"Let’s rest! You did well today, but it’s impossible to achieve everything all at once!" Su Chen suddenly stopped and said with a smile.
"But..." Li Ping wanted to continue.
"Come on, let’s go inside!" Su Chen said as he walked towards Li Ping’s room.
Li Ping could only follow him.
Su Chen immediately saw the bed at the far end, then sat down in a chair next to the tea table, looked up at Li Ping and said, "Ping’er, give me a shoulder rub."
"Don’t call me Ping’er." Li Ping frowned and said coldly.
"Calling you Li Ping feels too distant, not to mention that I am your man, and just by the fact I teach you martial cultivation, it’s right to call you Ping’er. It’s just a nickname, don’t think too much about it," Su Chen dominated the conversation, all these were techniques to woo a girl. A little physical touch! A little nickname! A little flirting! A little joking! A little bullying! All are subtle but effective ways to increase affection.
