Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister-Chapter 839 - 460: Too Drained! (2)

"Smack!"

Chen Xuan slapped her rounded bottom, "Your curiosity is really strong. You’ll be told when the time comes."

"Hmph!"

Luan Ying huffed in dissatisfaction, rolling off him and turning away.

"Sleep."

Chen Xuan simply closed his eyes. He was feeling very weak right now, having expended so much vital energy, he was outwardly strong but inwardly weak, like a paper tiger.

The few women exchanged glances and then smiled.

...

The next day, Chen Xuan arrived at Yao’Er’s place.

Xiaoqi and she were sitting opposite each other as usual.

"Hmm?"

Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow, showing confusion in his eyes.

Xiaoqi’s Spiritual Power had already far exceeded the Late-Stage Xuan Rank, almost not far from the first stage of the Dao Rank.

But his realm was still at Mid-Stage Xuan Rank.

This isn’t normal!

Yao’Er slightly raised her eyes to look at him, her expression changing instantly, "What’s wrong with you? Why do you look so depleted?"

Chen Xuan was somewhat surprised.

He looked absolutely fine on the outside, yet she saw through him at a glance.

This level of insight was truly impressive!

"It’s nothing. I met a formidable opponent and had a fight, spending quite a lot of vital energy."

Chen Xuan made up an excuse, then sat down next to Xiaoqi.

"Opponent? Who?"

Yao’Er looked at him with doubtful eyes, not completely believing him.

"I don’t know, we met by chance."

"Let’s not talk about this. What’s going on with Xiaoqi? His Spiritual Power is so strong, why hasn’t he achieved a breakthrough yet?"

Chen Xuan diverted the topic, also feeling very curious.

Though she knew he did it on purpose, Yao’Er didn’t press further, instead explaining, "I plan to have him condense the Divine Soul at the Xuan Rank, so I deliberately suppressed him, not letting him breakthrough."

"Condense the Divine Soul at Xuan Rank?"

"Is this feasible?"

Chen Xuan was taken aback. Wasn’t the Divine Soul only supposed to be condensed after the Dao Rank?

How can it be done at the Xuan Rank as well?

"Are you questioning me?"

Yao’Er immediately showed displeasure.

"Not really, it’s just for my own understanding, I ask Miss Yao’Er to enlighten me."

Chen Xuan spoke sincerely.

Yao’Er was satisfied with his attitude, her expression returning to normal, then she gently explained, "There have been successful cases of condensing the Divine Soul at Xuan Rank, but it demands extremely high talent and also requires some luck."

"Bamboo Garden?"

The name flashed in his mind.

The one with the highest Spirit Cultivator talent in Great Yu, Chen Xuan couldn’t think of anyone else.

"Yes!"

Yao’Er responded quietly, her expression somewhat complex.

"Hehe!"

Chen Xuan chuckled to himself. Being overshadowed by the Bamboo Garden, she probably never wants to hear about it for the rest of her life.

"And there’s also Lord Hall Master."

"That’s one reason why they excel so much in Spirit Cultivation."

"Xiaoqi has great talent, the rest depends on his luck."

"If he can successfully condense the Divine Soul, then... I want to take him back to the Imperial City to be taught by my teacher."

For the first time, Yao’Er referred to the National Preceptor as her teacher in front of Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan fell silent.

Bringing Xiaoqi to the Imperial City... this....

"If you are unwilling, I will leave once Xiaoqi achieves the breakthrough."

The National Preceptor has already summoned her several times.

To have her return to the Imperial City to prepare for the Burial Ground.

"Is it so urgent?"

Chen Xuan asked, originally thinking that once Xiaoqi had integrated Spiritual Martial into the Dao, she would continue teaching for some time.

"Yes, the National Preceptor has already summoned. I need to return to prepare for the Burial Ground."

Yao’Er didn’t hide it from him.

Moreover, she knew this time only the geniuses among the geniuses would enter the Burial Ground. Although her current strength was fairly decent, compared to the top-tier, she was still somewhat lacking.

Especially her!

A figure she most didn’t want to see appeared in her mind.

Bamboo Garden!

Surpassing her is probably hopeless this lifetime, being able to contend is satisfactory enough.

Furthermore, the National Preceptor went to great lengths this time, just to ensure her weakest Martial Cultivation would reach the peak of the fifth level before entering the Burial Ground.

"I’ll think about it."

Chen Xuan spoke slowly.

He’s not really worried about Xiaoqi’s safety in the Imperial City.

His main concern is that Xiaoqi might be consumed by Great Yu.

Not having him by his side, Xiaoqi is too young and it could be too dangerous.

But getting guidance from the National Preceptor, such an opportunity is rare.

So, he was temporarily undecided.

"Alright, but make up your mind soon, he’s close to breaking through."

Yao’Er said softly.

If not for Xiaoqi, she would have returned to the Imperial City days ago.

After all, this breakthrough was extraordinary, and the Divine Soul also needed to be condensed, she wasn’t assured, showing she regarded Xiaoqi as her disciple fully now.

....

Imperial City.

Within Qixuan Hall.

The National Preceptor sat there with eyes closed.

However... the wrinkles on his face had deepened.

"Has Yao’Er not returned yet?"

Emperor Yu asked softly.

The National Preceptor slowly opened his aged eyes, nodding slightly, "She said it’ll be a few more days, she has some matters to deal with."

"Hmm!"

Emperor Yu looked at the National Preceptor, a hint of sadness in his eyes.

The National Preceptor’s condition was deteriorating, originally thinking he had another hundred years, but he might not hold on much longer.

"Don’t worry, I can hold on for a while longer."

The National Preceptor offered a smile, intending to comfort him.

But in Emperor Yu’s eyes, that smile appeared deeply sorrowful.

"Have someone else activate the Nine Palace Star Array?"

Emperor Yu suggested.

This Nine Palace Star Array is set up leveraging Great Yu’s national fortune, designed especially by the National Preceptor for Yao’Er.

In Great Yu, only when the National Preceptor speaks will Emperor Yu agree to use the national fortune.
