Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister-Chapter 125 - 124: No, can’t do it!
"Follow me to the City Lord’s Mansion study."
As soon as the words were spoken, Xuan Er stepped out, his figure slowly disappearing, very slowly! Before vanishing, he glanced back at him.
"Huh?"
Chen Xuan made a slight exclamation.
The same Divine Movement Skill, yet when Xuan Er performed it, it was as smooth and slick as a fish entering the water’s surface.
But as for him?
It felt more like an adult jumping into the water, feeling a strong force of resistance.
This was why the first time he used the Divine Movement Skill, he felt like he was going to be crushed.
Why is that?
Chen Xuan stood in place, pondering.
Then he took a step forward, the familiar resistance appeared again, and the next moment, he was in the City Lord’s Mansion.
"It’s no good, still no good."
He shook his head and chuckled.
After all, his Divine Movement Skill was only at the small success level, obviously incomparable to Xuan Er.
When Chen Xuan arrived at the study, unexpectedly... it wasn’t just Xuan Er, but also Ye Yilan and Ye Jincen.
Especially Ye Jincen’s gaze, looking at him as if he were some kind of monster.
"Uncle Xuan, did he really comprehend the Divine Movement Skill?"
As if still unable to believe it, she asked again.
"Yes, but only at the small success level."
"Still very unfamiliar."
"And not very far with one step."
With each sentence, Ye Yilan’s eyebrows twitched, and finally, she couldn’t hold back, "Enough, you know, pretending has its limits. Don’t you see these are all juniors? You, as an elder, really lack decorum!"
"Dad, Uncle Xuan isn’t wrong." Before Xuan Er could speak, Ye Jincen spoke up first.
At this point, Ye Yilan felt like life was unmanageable.
After all, she is his biological daughter, yet she’s siding so completely with the Changling River.
And at this moment, Xuan Er’s lips were almost curling up uncontrollably, "Cough, cough," he hurriedly coughed a few times to cover it up.
If he really laughed, Mansion Master Ye might truly get upset.
"This..."
Chen Xuan watched this scene, suddenly understanding a bit why Ye Jincen could become good friends with Su Yun.
It felt... quite familiar.
Really... simple!
Unable to think of a better word, he could only use these two words to describe it, anything else would be a curse word.
"Alright, I called you here because I have something to say."
At this moment, Xuan Er spoke, his expression serious, eyes heavy.
"Are you planning to...?" Ye Yilan seemed to have guessed what he intended to do.
"Yes!" Xuan Er nodded slightly. Who knows him better than himself, "I am going into seclusion, preparing to break through to the Breaking Realm First Grade."
"Is the hope considerable?"
Ye Yilan asked in a serious tone, although his Martial Dao talent was unquestionable, a genius among geniuses, but this was the First Grade Realm, filled with dangers. Especially doing it by himself, it’s even more perilous, making her understandably worried.
"It’s uncertain, but I have a premonition."
He had some assurance in such matters, but how much, he couldn’t say.
But for some reason, he had a peculiar feeling that if he didn’t attempt the breakthrough to the First Grade now, it might become even harder in the future.
He had this thought before but had been putting it off, wanting to see if Chen Xuan could successfully comprehend the Divine Movement Skill.
Now that it’s done, his mind is at ease.
Even if he fails at breaking through the First Grade and perishes, the Divine Movement Sect’s legacy wouldn’t necessarily end.
"Uncle Xuan..."
At this moment, Ye Jincen looked at him worriedly. Though simple, she wasn’t ignorant of everything like Su Yun.
Raised under the guidance of Ye Yilan and Xuan Er, she was naturally well aware of the dangers involved in a Breaking Realm First Grade attempt.
But she couldn’t dissuade Xuan Er, after all, what master doesn’t yearn to become First Grade, especially such a top-notch genius like him.
"Alright, girl, Uncle does have some assurance." Xuan Er displayed a fatherly smile, comforting her.
Though Ye Jincen wasn’t his daughter, having no children of his own, he had long regarded her as his own daughter.
"Alright, alright, this matter aside, you and your dad should head back. Uncle Xuan is about to impart some key points of the Divine Movement Skill to Chen Xuan. Although he has grasped it, some parts are not quite right."
"Also, we are only three in the Divine Movement Sect now. You are considered the senior disciple, and Chen Xuan’s spiritual cultivation is too weak. Once Uncle Xuan is in seclusion, you have to guide him well."
"Alright! Don’t worry, Uncle Xuan, I will definitely teach him properly. If he doesn’t cultivate properly, I’ll be sure to deal with him for you."
Ye Jincen showed the demeanor of a senior disciple, then pulled Ye Yilan away from the study.
"You heard it just now, Jin Cen has a high affinity for spiritual cultivation, and she’s almost Third Grade. Besides that old mentor’s disciple, nobody in the entire Great Xia can compare to her, so feel free to ask her about spiritual cultivation."
"Yes, Master!"
Chen Xuan replied respectfully.
"Also, consider her your senior sister, and you need to take good care of her in the future, do you understand me?"
Uh.....
Chen Xuan felt like he was being given a last will or something, is breaking through to the First Grade really that dangerous?
Especially since there’s Ye Yilan too?
Is it my turn?
However, he still nodded seriously, "Master, don’t worry, I will take good care of Senior Sister."
"Hmm!" Then he took out a piece of black jade slip, just like the last time, and handed it to him, "Engrave your cultivation technique into it with your spiritual power, and your master will take a little bit of time to push it to the Second Grade Realm for you!"
Looking at the jade slip in his hand, warmth filled Chen Xuan’s heart.
Even though Xuan Er knew that this time, breaking through to the First Grade was fraught with dangers, he still remembered to first help him with the cultivation technique, which truly showed that he had accepted him as a disciple.
"Thank you, Master!" He sincerely said at that moment, but then asked, "Master, does deducing my cultivation technique exhaust you? After all, you’re going to break through to the First Grade. If it’s too exhausting and affects your breakthrough, let’s not do it."
Xuan Er became more satisfied with him because, after all, his cultivation technique could only reach the Third Grade, unless he switched to another technique; otherwise, he would only be at the Third Grade for his whole life.
But at this time, his first concern was him, which showed that accepting this disciple was worth it.
"Don’t worry, deducing the cultivation technique is a small matter for your master, not that complicated, just an hour or two."
Hearing this, Chen Xuan also relaxed.
Then a wisp of spiritual power extended out, engraving the Nine Revolutions Secret Technique into the jade slip.
After about two hours, it was finally completed, but by then Chen Xuan’s face was extremely pale, and he felt dizzy, almost unable to stand.
Xuan Er tossed him a white porcelain bottle, "This is Spiritual Liquid; it greatly helps in restoring spiritual power. Take a sip."
Chen Xuan did not hesitate and opened the bottle, taking a small sip.
Immediately, a burst of coolness flooded his mind, and his depleted spiritual power rapidly recovered under that cool sensation, with his complexion also becoming rosy again.
Phew—
"Comfortable!"
As for the rest, of course, he pocketed it.
Xuan Er no longer bothered with him, closing his eyes.
In an instant, Chen Xuan was quite shocked, because the entire study was filled with Xuan Er’s spiritual power.
Upon sensing it slightly, he felt that the spiritual power was dense, giving him the feeling that any bit of it could take his life.
"Truly... strong!"
Chen Xuan couldn’t help but feel envious, and at the same time, curious about what level of Spirit Cultivator Xuan Er was.
At this moment, Xuan Er’s brows furrowed deeply.
He was quite puzzled, why was Chen Xuan’s Nine Revolutions Secret Technique like this?
Before the Third Grade, it was crudely made garbage, but reaching the Third Grade, it was perfect, without a single flaw!
He had deduced many cultivation techniques, but honestly, he couldn’t attain such perfection.
"This kid really gave me a huge dilemma."
Xuan Er felt troubled at this point.
The more perfect the cultivation technique, the harder it was to deduce, because right now he felt at a loss, not knowing which direction to start deducing.
Hopefully, I won’t embarrass myself since earlier I boasted it was a simple task!
"Well, let’s give it a try!"
He then unleashed vast spiritual power.
The first attempt took an hour! Failed!
The second attempt, an hour and a half, still failed!
The third time... failed!
.....
"Is deducing this cultivation technique really so difficult?"
"Earlier, Master seemed to treat it like a piece of cake."
"How come it’s been so long, and still not done?"
At this point, Chen Xuan was also waiting anxiously on the side, with a faint feeling that something might be wrong.
Suddenly, Xuan Er opened his eyes, looking exhausted, and his gaze towards Chen Xuan was... somewhat awkward.
"How is it going, Master?" Chen Xuan hurriedly asked.
"I can’t do it," Xuan Er, despite not wanting to admit it, was nearly depleted of spiritual power after five attempts, all of which ended in failure.
Truly embarrassing.
"What? You can’t do it?"
Chen Xuan widened his eyes in disbelief that these words were coming from his mouth; wasn’t it supposed to be a small matter taking just a couple of hours?
"Yeah," Xuan Er was quite embarrassed and thought if he had known, he would have been more low-profile earlier, simply explaining, "The person who created the Nine Revolutions Secret Technique is really... a weirdo!"
Could not think of a better descriptor.
"A weirdo?" Chen Xuan was puzzled by what he meant!
"Ah," Xuan Er sighed helplessly, "Before the Third Grade, it couldn’t be worse, just an ordinary cultivation technique, but at the Third Grade level, it’s absolutely perfect, at least in my years, I’ve never seen one so perfect."
"But the more perfect the cultivation technique, the harder the subsequent deduction becomes. I’ve tried five times, in five different directions, but all failed."
"Is that so...."
Hearing his explanation, Chen Xuan instantly understood.
Because the Nine Revolutions Secret Technique (Zhen Realm) was deduced by the system, so it was flawless.
But the earlier parts were not, which is why the situation described by Xuan Er occurred.
Which means, in the future, he’d also have to rely on the system for deductions.
"Moreover, in the entire Great Xia, if your master can’t deduce it, probably no one else can, so do you want to consider switching cultivation techniques?" Xuan Er asked.
Considering his talent, the Third Grade is just the beginning.
Can’t be stuck just like an ordinary person because of the cultivation technique, right?
