Chapter 232: Sword Qi Body Forging [Please give me a monthly ticket! ]
As Wen Yifan won, the people from the Zhuxie Division who were watching the battle from afar also showed some surprise.
There was nothing special about Senior Sister Wen winning. In their perception, Senior Sister Wen in full condition rarely lost. But the method she just displayed was clearly the manifestation of the Dharma image that only a sixth-level Qi Refiner could have, and it was a very high-grade celestial goddess Dharma image!
Could it be that Wen Yifan’s cultivation has already reached the Dharma Realm?
Ambitious Wang Yantang did not expect to be defeated so quickly. His confidence was obviously damaged. He bowed in confusion and said, "Thank you for your advice."
"Thank you." Wen Yifan flew back and responded lightly.
The people from the Demon Slaying Division gathered around and congratulated her. Xu Luzhi asked curiously, "Senior Sister Wen, have you already broken through to the sixth realm?"
“Not yet.” Wen Yifan shook his head and said, “I am still a little short of a breakthrough. I don’t know when I will have the epiphany. It’s just that I am very close, so I realized the Dharmakāya in advance.”
Xu Luzhi went over to comfort Wang Yantang again, "Brother Wang, you don't have to be sad. None of us thought you could win in the first place."
"Ah?" Wang Yantang was stunned. "Are you... comforting me?"
The little girl quickly tried to make amends, "What I meant was that losing to Senior Sister Wen is a very normal thing. You don't have to be sad about it. You knew you would lose from the beginning anyway."
"I..." Wang Yantang paused, then smiled respectfully and said, "Junior Sister Wen's sword skills are indeed strong. I am far inferior to her."
"Hehe, of course." Xu Luzhi also laughed and said, "Senior Sister Wen was cursed before and delayed her practice for a long time. She could have been stronger now."
Wang Yantang was silent for a moment and only let out a sigh.
Before Xu Luzhi came to comfort him, he still thought that it was not that he was weak, but that Wen Yifan was too strong. After her consolation, she had successfully made him begin to doubt his past practice.
Is it right to practice in seclusion in the mountains? How come others are so much stronger than me while training in the Zhuxie Division and recovering from their injuries?
Am I some very stupid person?
Liang Yue mixed in the crowd, happy for Senior Sister Wen, and did not take the initiative to approach. But after everyone slowly dispersed, Wen Yifan suddenly looked at him and said, "Come with me."
"Huh?" Liang Yue didn't know why.
But Wen Yifan turned and left, and he didn't have time to ask any more questions, and he followed her and left together. This was the first time she was alone with him since Wen Yifan recovered.
Wen Yifan walked all the way back to her attic and into the hall. He pointed to the cushion on the ground and said, "Sit down."
Liang Yue sat down obediently and looked up at her.
Then he saw Wen Yifan also sitting opposite him. They were very close to each other. Liang Yue could see her flawless skin with a faint and delicate glow.
"Don't be in a daze." Wen Yifan suddenly called him, calling Liang Yue's attention back, "The time for the selection is approaching, don't you want to participate in the battle to capture the city? I will help you to strengthen your body with sword energy."
"Sword Qi to strengthen the body?" Liang Yue didn't know what this process was and was a little confused for a moment.
"Give me your hand." Wen Yifan stretched out a hand and pressed against Liang Yue's outstretched right hand. Her palm was white and slender, and it felt slightly cool when touched. "Concentrate your mind later and circulate your Qi meridians with my sword energy. Don't resist."
After she finished speaking, wisps of sword energy flowed from her palm into Liang Yue's body.
When the alien sword energy entered his body, Liang Yue's first reaction was to expel it, but he quickly suppressed this reaction and calmly accepted the infusion of Senior Sister Wen.
Wen Yifan's sword energy was sharp and cold, and it washed his meridians wherever it passed, making him feel a needle-like pain while his meridians were expanded and strengthened. Liang Yue gradually understood her intention. After such repeated stimulation, his meridians would be significantly strengthened.
Wang Rulin had not helped him like this before, because only a Qi Refiner could do this kind of thing, and the sword energy of a Qi Refiner was softer and gentler. If a warrior's domineering explosive energy was combined with Wang Rulin's powerful cultivation, Liang Yue's meridians would be broken into pieces with just a passing move.
but……
Why did Senior Sister Wen help me like this? Was it because she guessed that the Enlightenment Leaf might have been taken out by me, or was it because she had not completely recovered from her ruthlessness and still had a little bit of love for me...
"Concentrate." Wen Yifan's voice suddenly came, "Why are you so easily distracted today?"
"Yes." Liang Yue quickly regained his focus and dared not think about anything else.
More than an hour passed, and after circulating the Great Circulation several times, Wen Yifan retracted his sword energy and slowly opened his eyes.
As soon as Liang Yue opened his eyes, he met her gaze, and in a trance he felt a little tenderness. But when he looked carefully, the soft light disappeared.
"Your Qi and meridians need some time to recover. Come back in seven days." Wen Yifan said calmly, "Sword Qi has many benefits for strengthening the body, especially when it comes to training the basics. Your master has switched to martial arts and probably can't help you with body building. I'll help you for a while."
"Thank you, Senior Sister." Liang Yue thanked her, but was silent for a moment, then couldn't help asking, "Why are you helping me like this?"
Wen Yifan replied, "I personally brought you into Xuanmen, so naturally I have to help you stay here. According to the original agreement, if you cannot participate in the battle to seize the city, you and Uncle Wang will no longer be master and disciple. Wouldn't that mean that my recommendation is not clear?"
……
After leaving Wen Yifan's attic, Liang Yue was still a little dazed. He felt his right hand was icy cold, as if the feeling was still there.
He secretly made up his mind that he must practice well under the Enlightenment Tree during this period of time and not let Senior Sister Wen down.
After leaving Zhuxiesi, he went to Yunzhiguan.
Wang Rulin was still lazily there, but when he saw Liang Yue coming, he became a little more energetic. "The selection battle will start soon. Are you confident?"
"Disciple will definitely try his best." This is all Liang Yue could say.
"I have three strategies here. If you use all three strategies together, I can guarantee that you will qualify for the battle to capture the city." Wang Rulin said calmly.
"Oh?" Liang Yue heard him say this and listened carefully.
"Not only will there be seven participants in the battle to capture the city, but there will also be two substitutes who can take over at any time in case of an accident. The first seven people selected must go through the ring match, but the two substitutes can be selected by the jury." Wang Rulin said, "My best strategy is that if we can't win the ring match, we will give gifts to the judges one by one to win the qualification of a substitute. Then we can think of some way to prevent one of them from participating, and then you can successfully take the place of the substitute. This method is smooth and natural, and it is not easy to be noticed."
"..."
Although Liang Yue expected that Wang Rulin might have some unruly methods, he did not expect it to be so unruly.
"Master, this is not good." Liang Yue said, "If I am really inferior to others in skills, wouldn't it have a negative effect if I got involved in these inside stories? It goes against your original intention of contributing to the battle to capture the city."
"You have a point." Wang Rulin hesitated for a moment, "Although this method is safe, it is not a good thing overall. But if that's the case, my middle plan is not very useful."
"What is the middle strategy?" Liang Yue asked.
Wang Rulin said: "Just go find your opponents in the ring match, use coercion or bribery to make them lose to you."
Okay.
Liang Yue covered his face.
As expected of the great master of magic, he doesn't have any good tricks.
