Nuwa, the goddess of immortality, said that cultivating immortality does not require spiritual energ

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden tossed Qin Le a long, black spear, while she herself held one in her hand.

She didn't give Qin Le any time to adjust; without saying a word, she thrust her gun forward.

Qin Le had just taken the gun and hadn't even gotten used to the feel of it yet. Faced with this sudden attack, he could only frantically parry – he hadn't expected this female warrior to be so direct, ignoring theory and basics, and jumping straight into actual combat.

!

The impact of the gun barrels colliding made Qin Le's hand go numb.

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden's attacks were relentless, like a torrential downpour, each spear precisely piercing the gaps in his defense. Qin Le's parries, devoid of any real combat experience, were full of flaws in her eyes.

The next second, the spear tip, like a venomous snake, pierced through his defenses and plunged deep into his right shoulder—

puff!

Blood gushed out instantly, staining his clothes red.

"hiss--!"

The excruciating pain made Qin Le gasp, and cold sweat instantly soaked his back.

He gritted his teeth and gripped the spear shaft, only to see the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden expressionlessly pull back the spear, leaving a trail of blood droplets.

"If you don't grow, you will get hurt." Her voice was cold and unwavering.

At this moment, she was like the most ruthless drill instructor, showing no mercy in her actions.

Qin Le quickly took out a healing pill from his storage ring and put it in his mouth.

The pill melted instantly upon entering the mouth, and within a few breaths, the wound on the shoulder healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, leaving only holes and bloodstains on the clothes.

He raised his head, his gaze resolute: "Again."

The injury was painful, but he knew that the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden had already shown mercy. This was, after all, just special training.

But what about the future?

Facing the Chaos Beasts, facing those traitors who have sided with Chaos... the enemy will show him no mercy.

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden attacked again with her spear.

This time, Qin Le held his ground.

His grip on the gun and the movement of his feet were instantly adjusted to be exactly the same as that of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden—it was an instinctive manifestation of his terrifying comprehension.

He swung his spear in an attempt to deflect the thrusting spear tip, but the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden slapped the spear's tail with her left hand, causing the spearhead to swing strangely and thrust towards his shoulder again!

Qin Le reacted extremely quickly, crouching down to narrowly avoid the attack.

But the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden showed no sign of stopping. She instantly closed in, striking Qin Le in the chest with a palm strike—

boom! !

Qin Le was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string, spitting out a mouthful of blood. He struggled to his feet, swallowed another pill, and stood up straight again.

However, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden only gave him time to heal.

Apart from that, it was all about offense.

From initially being unable to withstand even a single attack, to being able to barely parry or dodge a few; from needing to take medication immediately upon injury, to being able to continue maneuvering even during breaks in injury...

In just over ten minutes, Qin Le was already able to spar with the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden in a respectable manner—although he was still at a significant disadvantage.

But at that moment, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden's attacks became even more fierce and cunning.

puff!

The spear tip pierced Qin Le's thigh, and he staggered. Before he could even take his medicine, the next shot was already at his shoulder!

puff!puff!puff!

In the next half minute, Qin Le was stabbed several times, leaving bloody holes in his body. The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden gave him no chance to breathe; every attack was precise and ruthless, aimed directly at vital points.

She finally stopped when Qin Le could barely stand, coldly uttering two words:

"Healing."

Qin Le quickly swallowed two pills, and his wounds healed rapidly. But just as he regained his footing, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden's spear arrived again.

Throughout the morning, the two repeated this cycle of attacking, getting injured, healing, and then attacking again.

Qin Le's progress is evident: from being instantly killed by the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden who was holding back, to being able to exchange a few blows even when she was holding back.

During the sparring sessions, Qin Le began to gradually integrate the movement techniques and spear skills he had learned into actual combat. Although these publicly known moves were full of flaws in the eyes of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden and could be easily countered, this was precisely how he learned.

Qin Le was basically being beaten all morning.

He strongly suspected that Nuwa's mother knew about the training style of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, which was why she specially invited her.

Throughout the entire training process, the two barely spoke. Apart from the word "healing," the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden offered no further hints or explanations.

What Qin Le didn't know was that the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden was teaching according to individual aptitude.

The best way to teach someone with such exceptional comprehension is to let him learn through practical experience. And Qin Le's rate of progress has even surprised her.

At this rate of advancement, she will be able to return to the Heavenly Realm in just a few days.

If Nuwa hadn't personally spoken up, she would never have put aside the war in the heavens to come to the mortal realm and give a young man special training.

Training continued after lunch.

It wasn't until after 5 p.m. that the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden stopped, raising her hand to cast a cleansing spell on Qin Le—the bloodstains and dirt instantly disappeared, but the holes pierced by the spear tip on his school uniform remained conspicuous.

"Continue tomorrow morning."

After saying this, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden turned and left.

Qin Le looked at his clean but tattered school uniform, sighed helplessly, and took out his phone to call the dean—he needed to ask for a few more sets of school uniforms.

After leaving the training ground, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden went straight to the Jade Emperor's office.

She sat down opposite the Jade Emperor without any hesitation and went straight to the point: "Your Majesty, the weapon is an extremely dangerous object and should not be given to him."

From the moment Qin Le asked about the murderous weapon, she guessed the reason. So as soon as the training ended, she went to find the Jade Emperor—her purpose was to persuade him to take back his promise.

The Jade Emperor smiled and said, "I know what you're saying. But this is the will of the Goddess Nuwa."

"The might of this fierce weapon is unstoppable even by a sage." The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden spoke solemnly, yet she did not give up.

"Have you forgotten?" the Jade Emperor said slowly, "Among Nuwa's companions was the Lord of War. Perhaps... Nuwa already obtained the method to control the evil weapons from the Lord of War?"

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden remained silent.

She couldn't find a reason to refute it—the weapon was forged by Chi You himself, and it wasn't surprising that he possessed a special method of control.

The fact that Chi You's subordinates fought with fierce weapons but were not corrupted by their malevolent energy, and were able to unleash their full power, is proof of this.

Seeing that she remained silent, the Jade Emperor then asked, "How did he feel after training him for a day?"

After a moment's contemplation, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden uttered four words: "Her reputation is well-deserved."

As the person who personally honed Qin Le's skills, she felt firsthand how terrifying Qin Le's comprehension was. From a novice who couldn't even hold a gun steadily to a skilled fighter who could withstand several moves from her, it only took half a day.

Although there was still a world of difference between them, Qin Le's terrifying growth rate forced her to admit that his title as the most insightful person in history was not an exaggeration.

"Then let's hone him properly these next few days," the Jade Emperor said with a smile. "The Heavenly Realm... won't be short of a few days."

"clear."

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden rose to take her leave.

As she walked out of the office, a hint of anticipation flashed in her eyes.

She was also very curious about how much the boy would grow up to in a few days.
