Borrowing a sword

Chapter 102 A Master's Unfilial Disciple?

Chu Huaixu died peacefully.

In this incredibly realistic dream, he was about to pierce through the fog before him, see the woman's face clearly, and then ravage her to avenge the sword wound he had just suffered!
The next moment, a flash of sword light engulfed him, turning him into dust and leaving only ashes.

He died in an instant.

There was no time to react, let alone resist.

Her sword was too fast!

It was just a casual sword strike, yet it possessed such power.

That suffocating feeling on a spiritual level returned, and Chu Huaixu felt as if he were truly dead.

Then he came back to life and stood back in the same spot.

Chu Huaixu just kept dying and coming back to life like this?

This is clearly his own dream.

But he didn't seem to be the ruler of the dream.

He had already realized that he was dreaming. Logically speaking, he should have the supreme power of a creator!
Logically speaking, he could do whatever he wanted to this woman if he wanted to.

But in his dream, he was just a cultivator at the first level.

And what about that damned woman on the other side?
She's terrifyingly strong, incredibly strong!

There seems to be a chasm between the two!
With each swing of his sword, Chu Huaixu felt that the sword light could destroy the heavens and the earth.

And I will just be swept away and disappear into thin air.

After repeating this process ten times, he returned to the starting point, still standing in the same spot.

But the thick fog and the woman in front of him had vanished.

Chu Huaixu found himself in a blank space, panting heavily.

His current condition is indeed very bad.

Because every time it turns to ashes, it feels so real.

—Between life and death, there is great fear!

In such a short period of time, he was crushed ten times in one go, but he still couldn't take life and death lightly, and he still feels lingering fear!

"Why is this happening?" Chu Huaixu asked, puzzled.

Am I really dreaming?

He began to fall into deep doubt.

At this moment, given his personality, he naturally harbored resentment towards the woman in the thick fog, hating her with a vengeance.

If this was truly a drunken dream, he would surely seek revenge and make the woman keep groveling until she was crying "Daddy!"

"If I had the ability, I definitely wouldn't kill her with one sword strike; I would torture her slowly!"

"I'm so angry! They killed me ten times in one go!"

He sat dejectedly in the empty space, then looked around with a puzzled expression.

Chu Huaixu was certain that he was drunk after drinking the spirit wine that Elder Loli had given him.

Moreover, this wine is highly nourishing, seemingly possessing many benefits that men dream of.

But why would someone be in this state after getting drunk?
"Did I practice the Sword Refining Manual and the Daoist Canon too much and turn my hobby into something distorted?" Chu Huaixu found this hard to believe.

So, there's only one explanation.

"Someone with profound cultivation used some tricks on me!"

At this moment, he seemed unable to do anything, as if he were trapped here.

In addition, Chu Huaixu was indeed mentally exhausted, so he simply closed his eyes to rest.

His thoughts entered a rather chaotic phase, and he wasn't sure if he had fallen asleep.

As time passed, Chu Huaixu lost track of exactly how much time had gone by.

But then he suddenly opened his eyes!
Because that familiar feeling of terror has returned!

At this moment, Chu Huaixu opened his eyes and saw the thick fog that he couldn't clear.

The rather tall woman, holding a long sword, reappeared in the center of the thick fog.

“Wait a minute!” he shouted.

The sword light engulfed him, and he didn't even have time to utter a curse.

Just like before, Chu Huaixu was instantly killed ten times in one go.

When he found himself in an empty space again, he was breathing even harder than before.

The mental and emotional damage is enormous.

This struck him as somewhat unbelievable.

"If this is my spiritual world, then it must be within the sea of ​​consciousness!"

"The problem is, if I were in my sea of ​​consciousness, I would be at the [Sword Heart Clarity] stage!"

"I am the [Spirit Embryo: Heart Sword]!"

"I can sever the flesh with my sword and sever the soul with my heart!"

"What the hell is this woman? How could she do this to me under these circumstances?!"

Chu Huaixu's thinking seemed to have become sluggish because of the numerous times he had "vanished into thin air."

He was too tired, too exhausted.

So much so that he didn't even have the energy to curse anymore, and he fell into a state of utter confusion again.

As the sun rises in the east, the morning sunlight shines into the bamboo house.

Covered in a cold sweat, Chu Huaixu suddenly woke up from the bed, as if he had just had an extremely torturous nightmare.

He took a deep breath, then lifted the blanket and looked down at his body.

He was completely dumbfounded.

"How did you manage to have your body and mind in completely different states?"

Chu Huaixu's body was still under the effects of the spirit wine.

But his spirit and energy were utterly depleted. Within that empty space, he was swallowed by the sword light forty times!

He was given a moment to catch his breath every ten times initially, but the last ten times he was jolted awake from his bed.

Chu Huaixu opened the system interface and checked the time.

"About three hours have passed?" he estimated.

After letting out a long breath, he began to search for clues through the system interface.

After escaping that strange space, Chu Huaixu's thinking was no longer so sluggish.

In his heart, he actually had some guesses.

In terms of suspicion, Chu Yinyin is the most suspicious, after all, she came to the bamboo house last night.

In reality, Chu Huaixu ruled her out first.

The reason is simple: he felt that his second master was a bit incompetent and couldn't do that level of skill.

Before long, Chu Huaixu got the answer in the task interface.

"It really is her!"

"This is ridiculous. I didn't even hear the system notification sound? Or was it because I was so drunk that I didn't notice it at first?"

At this moment, another long-term task has been added to his task list.

The mission is titled: [Shen Man's Sword Domain Trial]!
The Sword Domain is something that only sword cultivators at the seventh realm can possibly cultivate!
In the Xuanhuang Realm, the first, third, fifth, seventh, and ninth realms—all odd-numbered realms—will undergo qualitative changes.

The first stage is easy to understand: the spiritual embryo's secret treasure is opened, and spiritual power can begin to be stored within the body.

The most outstanding cultivators in the third realm have the opportunity to comprehend—[the realm of intent]!
What sword cultivators produce is what is known as sword intent.

Among them, the best sword cultivators who generate sword intent have a chance to generate sword heart!

The fifth realm is known as the realm of great cultivators, partly because one's overall strength will experience a qualitative leap, becoming much stronger than the fourth realm, and one will begin to be able to fly.

On the other hand, some of the great cultivators in the fifth realm have awakened the [Spiritual Embryo Divine Power].

As for the seventh realm, its strength lies in the [Domain].

Chu Huaixu now understands why he, a dignified Sword Heart Clarity expert, could be so thoroughly tortured in a place that resembles a consciousness space.

The answer is simple: the other side also possesses a clear and discerning sword mind.

A sword heart that is clear and bright, possessing a sword domain, at the seventh level!

That was the strongest seventh realm cultivator recognized by the Xuanhuang Realm!

"So, this is a trial that my future master deliberately set up for me?" Chu Huaixu thought to himself.

"Is she showing me the mysteries of the Sword Domain again and again, trying to make me understand something?" he wondered to himself.

"No! You teach your disciples by killing them?" Chu Huaixu was somewhat amused and exasperated.

He even came up with a pun-based, cheesy joke.

"Is this the Sword Domain? This is the prison that tortured me!"

He recalled the figure he had seen in the bamboo grove.

For some reason, he always felt that his master was not that kind of person.

"But why train me like this?" he wondered.

Every experience of dying felt so real.

It's strange, even though you know you won't really die, you still feel terrible.

I had it forty times in one night, and I still didn't get used to it! I just felt the mental torture building up!
What made Chu Huaixu feel most desperate was that this long-term mission would last for 30 days!
He doesn't need to do anything on his own initiative; once 30 days have passed, the task is considered complete.

"But the premise is that I can hold on and not break myself down," he thought to himself.

The reason he guessed in his heart was that Shen Man wanted him to gain some insights in the dream, because the system's task reward was 1 point of [Comprehension]!
System design rewards are generally based on sound reasoning and follow certain patterns.

In addition, this task also has a rating system.

If Chu Huaixu can achieve a Grade A rating, then he will also be able to comprehend [Sword Intent]!
"This reward is a bit too much," he thought, extremely tempted.

Sword intent—that's something only the best sword cultivators in the third realm can comprehend.

It is a prerequisite for the creation of sword heart.

Chu Huaixu had previously considered that his [Sword Heart Clarity] was a spiritual embryonic divine power, the power contained within the black dagger.

Is it possible for me to develop a swordsman's heart?

Upon realizing this, his heart began to race.

"But the problem is, how do I get a Grade A rating?"

“Every time, I was instantly killed and reduced to ashes.”

Chu Huaixu couldn't find a clue for a while.

At the same time, he found it somewhat amusing.

Because when he was dreaming, he had many wicked thoughts about the woman in his dream.

Chu Huaixu felt no shame about having erotic dreams.

Because this kind of thing can happen to both men and women, it can be considered a biological instinct, human nature.

If there is a specific person in your dream, you should reflect on whether you really have any feelings for that person.

However, many erotic dreams do not necessarily involve a specific person.

To put it in a rather vulgar way, many people shout "grass mud horse," but they don't actually mean it. The "mother" in this context isn't your real mother; it's not a concrete image of your mother.

Similarly, a erotic dream is just a erotic dream, merely representing his youthful vigor.

At first, Chu Huaixu did not think that the woman in the thick fog was a specific person.

Now that he knows who the other party is, he no longer has any thoughts of being a jockey.

After all, he hadn't even seen Shen Man's true face clearly that day in the bamboo forest, nor had he seen what she looked like with his own eyes.

Chu Huaixu was even somewhat relieved at this moment, thinking that he was lucky to have been defeated instantly and that he was lucky not to have the ability to do whatever he wanted.

"I can't really become a disobedient disciple of my master, can I?" Chu Huaixu thought to himself.
