Chapter 45: Chapter 43: Wen Zhixing Comes to Seek an Audience

*After diligent cultivation, Life Defying Blood Body has successfully mastered the basics of the Igniting Blood Sword Skill.*

"Hmm, what’s this?" Wen Zhixing wondered as he woke up and saw the prompt panel that had popped up.

The Igniting Blood Sword Skill... did I succeed?

Wen Zhixing felt somewhat incredulous. Was I sleep-talking? No, that can’t be right.

Last night, he had spent almost the entire night trying to teach Life Defying Blood Body what the Igniting Blood Sword Skill was. In his previous life, he had never had children, and now, in this life, he felt as though he had experienced what it was like to be a parent teaching a child. His explanations had left him dry-mouthed, only to be met with a look of confusion from Life Defying Blood Body. What are you talking about? I don’t understand.

Eventually, Wen Zhixing had pretty much given up. You might as well figure it out yourself. Your old man here is at his limit.

Yet, having just woken up, he saw that Life Defying Blood Body had managed to learn the Igniting Blood Sword Skill.

Could it be... that Life Defying Blood Body is truly a sword-training genius? Wen Zhixing stroked his chin. People with simple minds often have purer thoughts. Perhaps that’s the reason.

Just then, Life Defying Blood Body also noticed Wen Zhixing was awake. It showed a joyful expression and hurried over, blood-colored sword in its arms.

"SQUEAK! SQUEAK! SQUEAKITY-SQUEAK..." While making these sounds, Life Defying Blood Body brandished its sword, trying to tell Wen Zhixing it had learned. It had successfully mastered the basics. Aren’t I impressive?

"I know, you did a great job. Impressive indeed, very impressive," Wen Zhixing smiled and nodded, adding some praise. _{fr\eewebno vel .c(o)m}

Life Defying Blood Body was delighted.

"Come on, strike me. Let me see how strong the Igniting Blood Sword Skill is," Wen Zhixing said, his interest piqued. He wanted to personally test the strength of the Igniting Blood Sword Skill.

Upon hearing this, Life Defying Blood Body shook its head like a rattle-drum, as if saying, No way, no way! This sword skill is too formidable. You got injured by it last time!

"No worries, don’t be afraid." However, Wen Zhixing grew even more interested. "Come at me boldly!"

Life Defying Blood Body continued to shake its head. You said the same thing last time.

"Are you not going to listen to me now?" Wen Zhixing’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.

In the end, unable to resist Wen Zhixing’s insistence, Life Defying Blood Body decided to act.

BOOM!

In an instant, its aura changed drastically, and a fierce presence washed over Wen Zhixing.

"Oh?" Wen Zhixing was taken aback by this force, his breath catching instinctively.

The Life Defying Blood Body before him was merely the size of a hamster, yet in Wen Zhixing’s eyes, it transformed into a ferocious tiger. A man-eating monarch of the mountains!

CLANG!

The Sword Pill in its grasp trembled, emitting a sword hum! The blood around Life Defying Blood Body began to boil, its entire being seemingly enveloped in flames. The blood-colored sword, transformed from the Sword Pill, became an even more vivid red, as if forged from fresh blood.

WHOOSH—

A streak of blood shot from the sword, leaving a three-inch-long, two-fingers-wide arc in the air, like a crimson ribbon cutting through the void towards Wen Zhixing.

So fast! Wen Zhixing was shocked.

The crimson glow vanished in an instant.

SPLASH!

Wen Zhixing didn’t even have time to dodge before he saw a brilliant red ’flower’ burst open on his right shoulder! Then, an excruciating pain shot through him. A bleeding hole, about three fingers wide, appeared on his shoulder.

Seeing Wen Zhixing injured, Life Defying Blood Body instantly panicked. It quickly retracted the Sword Pill and scurried over, its face etched with anxiety, babbling incoherently.

"So strong!" Wen Zhixing’s face, however, was filled with delighted surprise. Is this the Igniting Blood Sword Skill?

Life Defying Blood Body’s actual strength wasn’t high; after all, it was merely formed from Wen Zhixing’s blood. Its power was at most fifty percent of his own. But now, wielding the Sword Pill and executing the Igniting Blood Sword Skill, it could have instantly killed Wen Zhixing.

Wen Zhixing was very pleased. With such strength, an ordinary cultivator at the Qi Movement Realm, if caught off guard, could also possibly be killed in an instant.

"You’ve done very well." Seeing Life Defying Blood Body chattering on, Wen Zhixing lowered his head and praised it once again.

"SQUEAK... SQUEAKITY-SQUEAK..." Life Defying Blood Body continued its babbling, pointing at itself, then at Wen Zhixing’s shoulder, waved its sword around, and finally shook its head.

I get it, I get it... Wen Zhixing roughly understood. It’s telling me to stop showing off... I definitely won’t let it strike me next time.

Wen Zhixing, not particularly bothered by the noise, simply willed it, and Life Defying Blood Body was reabsorbed into his body.

Finally, silence.

Wen Zhixing exhaled deeply, took off his clothes, and gently wiped the wound. Such a minor injury would heal quickly. He then changed into a set of clean clothes.

Today, he had to go to Wutong Peak. Ning Shan had invited him, and he was happy to go.

Before, he might have been afraid. But now, his mindset had changed entirely.

Why should I be afraid? If I’m not afraid, then I’m not afraid. Simple as that.

「Wutong Peak.」

「Cultivation Hall.」

Ning Shan was, as usual, teaching Wen Miner cultivation. However, the atmosphere today seemed somewhat different. The air was filled with a sweet fragrance, like the fresh scent emanating from flower petals.

"Senior Sister..." Wen Miner, who was meditating, twitched her nose, opened her eyes, and said, "Senior Sister, you smell very nice today."

"Do I?" Ning Shan replied calmly, her body swaying gently as her gaze drifted to the red string on her wrist. A small, exquisite jade bead was tied there. The unusual fragrance emanated from this jade bead.

"Mhm," Wen Miner nodded, then looked at Ning Shan again. "Senior Sister, you also look especially beautiful today."

Ning Shan smiled at the compliment. She had indeed made a special effort with her appearance today. She wore a moon-white, light gauze long dress, with an exquisite jade pendant at her waist, making her tall figure appear even more slender and graceful. Her black hair was simply coiled with a single hairpin, revealing a neck as smooth and flawless as porcelain. But what truly captivated the eye was the faint, petal-like blush on her cheeks. Her red lips, slightly parted, hinted at a certain allure.

"So... am I more beautiful, or is Yun Xinyue more beautiful?" Ning Shan turned to Wen Miner.

"Who’s more beautiful?" Wen Miner was taken aback, apparently not expecting Ning Shan to ask such a question.

"Senior Sister Yun is certainly very pretty," Wen Miner replied, her large eyes blinking, "but she still can’t compare to you, Senior Sister."

"You little sweet-talker," Ning Shan chuckled lightly, very pleased as she reached out and playfully tousled the hair bun on Wen Miner’s head.

This time, her efforts to dress up weren’t really for Wen Zhixing. It was because of that accursed competitive streak women have. She had always been overshadowed by Yun Xinyue, and she refused to lose. In any aspect, she was unwilling to lose. Yun Xinyue had been in closed-door cultivation for many days, and hearing rumors of her imminent return made Ning Shan increasingly restless.

"Reporting, Senior Sister Ning! Disciple Wen Zhixing from Soul Devouring Peak requests an audience," a disciple announced from outside the hall just then.

"I know." Ning Shan nodded slightly, then turned back to Wen Miner. "Miner, I have some matters to attend to. Continue your cultivation on your own. If you have any questions, wait for me to return."

"Oh," Wen Miner nodded obediently.

Ning Shan patted Wen Miner’s head and then walked out.

Disciple from Soul Devouring Peak... Wen Zhixing... Wen Miner watched Ning Shan’s departing figure, a depth in her eyes that starkly contrasted with her youth.

Interesting... so this Wen Zhixing has actually gotten involved with Ning Shan... Her eyes flickered, and a peculiar smile played on her lips.
