Chapter 35 The Azure Phoenix Bloodline Awakens Initially, Jiang Churan's Invitation
The system prompt sound suddenly rang.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, your investment has been successful. Investment project: Teach Qiu Zishi a low-grade Heaven-rank martial art and help him reach the "Subtle" realm.]
[Special Reward: Half a Year of Martial Arts Cultivation]
【Do you want to collect it now? 】
"no."
Li Wudao was surprised, not expecting that he would be rewarded with half a year's worth of cultivation this time.
This is a great thing; it saves me half a year of arduous training.
It can at least elevate you to a higher level.
However, he certainly cannot use it directly right now, lest it arouse suspicion.
"Indeed, publicly teaching martial arts skills is a promising business."
Li Wudao was secretly delighted.
He casually explained martial arts techniques and experience, and in just two hours, he gained half a year's worth of cultivation out of thin air.
Furthermore, they also received an extra favor from Akiko Minoru, making it a win-win situation!
Suddenly remembering something, he looked in Qi Xingyu's direction.
By this time, the latter had already disappeared.
"He ran pretty fast."
Li Wudao sneered.
It's hard to say whether to say this seventh prince is cautious or overly timid.
In fact, even if Qi Xingyu didn't leave, he couldn't do anything to the other party.
On second thought, he seemed to understand. The other party probably felt guilty and ashamed after seeing that the plan had failed, and was too ashamed to stay any longer.
Meanwhile, outside the training ground.
Qi Xingyu was walking hurriedly towards Lieyang Peak, his face ashen.
"Damn Li Wudao, he actually has such terrifying comprehension!"
He walked along cursing, looking quite exasperated.
next moment,
Qi Xingyu suddenly seemed to have a thought, and a smug sneer appeared on his lips.
"So what if you have a high level of comprehension? You've only mastered a few more martial arts techniques. This prince will soon enter the True Essence Realm, and I will still be able to crush you in the Newcomer Competition!"
With his already considerable talent and the support of resources from both the Dynasty and Lieyang Peak, advancing his cultivation level was not difficult.
At his age, very few people can break through to the True Essence Realm, and his strength is comparable to that of a true disciple who has been studying for two years.
While martial arts skills can enhance combat power, they are somewhat inadequate in the face of absolute suppression of realm.
"Boy, I'll let you run wild for a few more days. During the grand competition, I, the prince, will show you who the real genius is!"
Qi Xingyu clenched his fist with a sense of certainty, and strode away with a cold smile.
.........
Inside the martial arts arena.
The incident of Wu Shan spreading rumors was just a minor episode and quickly came to an end.
The disciples looked at Li Wudao on the arena with eyes full of admiration and cheered loudly.
After witnessing Akiko's on-the-spot enlightenment, even the older disciples were moved and sincerely convinced.
Li Wudao was simply a prodigy in comprehension; even his own master lacked such insights into martial arts, making him a rare and invaluable talent.
"Master Li, I offer ten low-grade spirit stones to ask you to teach me martial arts!"
"I'll offer fifteen spirit stones, just to ask for your guidance."
"I'll offer one hundred spirit stones!"
"........"
As the spirit stones were raised higher and higher, many powerful disciples joined the ranks, shouting and cheering with boundless excitement.
Some disciples were even willing to pay 500 spirit stones just to hear Li Wudao impart his martial arts experience.
In the end, the training ground erupted in cheers.
Numerous disciples surged toward Li Wudao's arena like a tidal wave, their eyes burning with fervor as if they had spotted a priceless treasure.
Li Wudao was somewhat surprised; the effect far exceeded his expectations.
But how could he possibly teach all these thousands of disciples by himself?
Even if each person only has one hour, they would be exhausted to the point of vomiting blood and still wouldn't be able to finish teaching.
"Ugh--"
Looking at his disciples, who were almost driven to madness, Li Wudao sighed inwardly.
Sometimes being too prominent isn't good either; there are too many things to consider.
"Ahem, everyone, please be quiet for a moment."
Looking at those expectant eyes, he felt a headache coming on.
"Thank you all for your support and recognition, but I don't care how many spirit stones you use to instruct on martial arts. It all depends on fate. One spirit stone is just a token gesture."
Li Wudao slightly cupped his hands, trying to keep his tone calm.
"I enjoy making friends in my daily life. I teach martial arts not to make money, but to build good relationships. Time is limited, so I will only teach three more people today before I finish."
At this point, seeing the slight change in his disciples' expressions, he quickly changed his words to comfort them.
"Everyone can rest assured that I will take some time to come to the training ground every now and then. Everyone will have a chance, it's just a matter of time."
Upon hearing this, the uneasy disciples breathed a sigh of relief and smiled again.
Li Wudao felt ashamed.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly; otherwise, he might not have been able to leave the training ground today.
These people are too enthusiastic, they're no different from fanatics, their eyes look like they want to devour him.
Li Wudao claimed that he chose people based on fate.
In reality, the Haotian Eye had already been secretly activated.
His energy is limited, mainly focused on earning system rebates, so he can't afford to waste too much time on mediocre people.
Soon, Li Wudao had three good targets.
The first one was a true disciple who had entered the sect two years earlier.
Name: Yan Yang
【Age: 18】
[Talent: Mid-grade Profound Level]
[Realm Level: Late Stage of True Essence Realm]
[Special physical condition: None]
[Fortune: High-grade Celestial Rank]
【……】
An hour later, Yan Yang had mastered his martial arts skills and left happily, while Li Wudao also received a good return.
The second was a female disciple who had just entered the inner sect, named Ding Menglei. She possessed the Heavenly Rank of Fortune and was exceptionally beautiful, attracting the attention of many disciples.
The third one is named Bu Yongnian, who possesses an earth spirit body...
By the time the last person was instructed, it was nearly dusk.
Many disciples knew that there was no chance today, so most of them left early, and now there are very few disciples left.
After greeting some disciples, Li Wudao, having gained a great deal, prepared to leave.
He yawned, stretched, and walked off the stage.
It has to be said that teaching disciples is quite tiring. When he encounters some stupid questions, he feels like hitting them.
Fortunately, I made a good profit today, so I'm finding joy in hardship.
"Hey, you haven't left yet?"
As Li Wudao approached the entrance to the martial arts arena, he was surprised to find a beautiful figure standing there.
As the evening breeze began to rise, Jiang Churan stood alone, the rosy sunset illuminating her exquisite face. Dressed in flowing white, she resembled a fairy from the moon palace, standing gracefully with an ethereal air.
"You...you weren't waiting for me, were you?"
Li Wudao stared at the girl's flawless face, his mind filled with doubt.
This girl used to avoid him like the plague, so why is she waiting for him today?
This isn't like a maid's behavior.
Something's not right; there might be a trap here!
In an instant, Li Wudao had eight hundred schemes in mind.
"Um--"
Jiang Churan nodded slightly, her voice clear and melodious.
Seeing this, Li Wudao became even more uneasy.
His expression was strange, his brow furrowed. "Junior Sister Jiang, do you need something from me?"
Jiang Churan remained silent for a moment, then nodded and shook her head.
"???"
Li Wudao was somewhat confused.
The girl turned her head to look around, and only after confirming that there were no disciples nearby did she speak softly:
"Li Wudao, you must find a way to get into the top ten in this newcomer competition."
"Why?"
Li Wudao was puzzled.
Jiang Churan was very patient, her voice pleasant, and she slowly began to speak:
"The sect recently discovered a small, undeveloped secret realm containing many treasures. The sect leader has decided to use it as a reward for the top ten in this competition. Everything obtained within the secret realm is at your own discretion and need not be handed over to the sect."
Li Wudao's eyes lit up; this reward was quite good.
"According to the Master's information, that secret realm also contains the legacy of a powerful figure, along with numerous rare and precious herbs and elixirs..."
At this point, Jiang Churan cleared her throat, her bright eyes falling on the boy's face.
In fact, these were all her personal experiences from her previous life, but she couldn't tell Li Wudao the truth, so she could only tell them through Murong Yan.
"My master has already told me the location of the inheritance. As long as you can enter the secret realm, I will lend you a hand, and we will split the resources we obtain. How about that?"
"That doesn't sound too bad, so thank you in advance, Junior Sister Jiang."
Li Wudao stroked his chin and chuckled.
Cultivation resources delivered to your doorstep—why not refuse them?
"No need for thanks, I owe you one, this is just me repaying half of the favor."
Jiang Churan parted her lips slightly, her eyes flashing with a complex expression.
As an empress, she possessed an inherent pride, and she always felt guilty for accepting Li Wudao's gifts repeatedly.
Now that the secret realm has opened, she has a perfect opportunity to repay some favors.
"What is your current cultivation level?"
Jiang Churan asked softly.
"Blood Transformation Realm Perfection".
Li Wudao told the truth.
"Not bad, it seems you've been training hard these days."
Jiang Churan nodded in agreement, then her expression turned slightly serious, and she said:
"With your current strength, it shouldn't be difficult for you to break into the top ten in the competition, but you still lack some things if you want to obtain the inheritance in the secret realm."
"Several third-tier demonic beasts lurk around that inheritance site. I am not afraid, but it will be difficult for me to protect you at the same time."
At this point, her tone became a bit more serious, "You should stay by my side and cultivate for now. I will do my best to improve your combat strength, and then it shouldn't be difficult for you to protect yourself."
"That's all for today. Remember to come to the training ground at Chenshi (7-9 AM) tomorrow. I will personally supervise your training and teach you some combat techniques."
Listening to the girl talking to herself, Li Wudao was speechless.
He hadn't even said a word, and the other party had already made up their mind. What kind of situation is this?
To be honest, he was somewhat unconvinced.
This girl has quite the nerve. In her eyes, the Blood Transformation Realm Perfection is only "not bad"?
A glint flashed in Li Wudao's eyes, landing on the girl's slightly heaving chest.
He wanted to see what the little maidservant was relying on.
Name: Jiang Churan
【Age: 15】
[Talent: Low-grade Heavenly Level]
[Realm: Middle stage of True Essence Realm]
[Special Physique: Ancient Azure Phoenix Bloodline (Initial Awakening)]
[Aura: Superior Emperor Rank (Daughter of Aura)]
........
Li Wudao was dumbfounded after reading it.
Fog Grass—
Mid-stage True Essence Realm?!
This cultivation speed is faster than riding a rocket!
Even someone like him who's using cheat codes finds this outrageous and feels inferior.
Suddenly,
Li Wudao's gaze was fixed on the "Special Physique" section.
Immediately, he realized what was happening and gave a wry smile.
No wonder, it turns out that the little maid had already awakened the bloodline of the ancient Azure Phoenix without making a sound.
It is indeed a divine beast bloodline. It has such a breakthrough speed even in the initial awakening stage. If it were in its complete form, wouldn't it be able to fly into the sky and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun?
"Okay, I'll be there on time tomorrow."
Li Wudao sighed and agreed.
He had reason to doubt that he might not be able to defeat his opponent in his current state.
Maggi, this is the chosen one, so domineering and unreasonable.
