I started by controlling his master, and the protagonist begged me to slow down my kicking.

Gong Yueli's cold eyes narrowed slightly.

The young man before her was none other than her wayward disciple, Cheng Ran.

You absolutely cannot be mistaken.

But why does this fragment of the scroll depict him wielding a sword?

Could it be that he has some connection with the Sword Emperor?

Gong Yueli couldn't help but recall the unusual feeling she had noticed when Cheng Ran combed her hair that morning.

Cheng Ran's original talent in sword cultivation was merely mediocre.

If swordsmanship weren't in decline, she wouldn't have agreed to let Cheng Ran become her disciple.

But Cheng Ran is quite different now.

His physique is imbued with sword energy, possesses inner sharpness, and is naturally gifted with Daoist qualities!

He's practically born to cultivate swordsmanship!

Gong Yueli even felt that this child's talent surpassed her own Divine Phoenix Sword Body.

What exactly is this...?

"Yue Li, what's on your mind?"

Lu Shixue noticed that Gong Yueli was preoccupied and looked at her, asking in a low voice.

"He is my disciple."

Gong Yueli then told Lu Shixue about the changes in Cheng Ran's physique that she had discovered that morning.

Of course, she concealed the part about Cheng Ran asking her to discuss swordsmanship the night before.

She couldn't talk about this part.

She didn't want to go through that throbbing pain in her lower abdomen again.

She also didn't want her best friend to know that she had lost her virginity.

There was no way to confess that Cheng Ran had already planted a slave mark on her.

"Is that so?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Shixue nodded slightly, remained silent for a while, and then said:

"Since this disciple named Cheng Ran's physique has undergone such a strange change, why not have him come to the Goddess Palace?"

"I'd like to see what kind of physique could surprise Yue Li so much."

This wicked disciple is to be sent to the Goddess Palace?

Gong Yueli's chest heaved.

The Goddess Palace is not a place that ordinary disciples can enter.

That place guards the four divine artifacts of the holy land.

Only young prodigies who are expected to inherit the throne of the Holy Land are qualified to enter the Goddess Palace.

This wicked disciple has betrayed his master and ancestors, and is utterly unworthy of the title of a prodigy!

and!

She would never allow that wicked disciple Cheng Ran to meet Lu Shixue alone!

Given Cheng Ran's cultivation level, it was impossible for Lu Shixue not to discover the slave seal.

Lu Shixue would definitely punish Cheng Ran severely at that time.

The shameless Cheng Ran will surely fight to the death, taking someone down with him, thus planting a seed of inner demons within himself!

Things absolutely cannot go this way!

Gong Yueli cleared her throat and looked at Lu Shixue calmly, saying:

"Sister Lu, in my opinion, this matter is not appropriate. This boy does have some talent in swordsmanship, but he is not outstanding; moreover, he is shameless and has no hope of inheriting the great lineage."

"Sister Lu, you are busy with your affairs, you don't need to waste your time on this boy."

Upon hearing this, Lu Shixue's beautiful eyes flickered slightly.

This was the first time she had ever seen Gong Yueli criticize a disciple like this.

It was as if they were very reluctant for this disciple to go to the Goddess Palace.

Logically speaking, Gong Yueli has always been indifferent to worldly affairs, spending her days seeking knowledge of swordsmanship and rarely concerning herself with matters of the Holy Land.

Why is that...?

After a moment's hesitation, she said:

"Alright, since Yue Li has said so, let's discuss this matter another day."

Gong Yueli breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the next moment, Lu Shixue changed the subject:

"However, Yue Li, the Holy Land Secret Realm will open in a few days."

"If this boy achieves an 'A' rating in the trials, then you may allow him to enter the Goddess Palace. What do you say?"

Gong Yueli hesitated.

If Cheng Ran's cultivation level is not much different from before.

In the Secret Realm Trials, he can only get a "C" rating at most.

But now Cheng Ran's physique has changed drastically.

In addition, he was indeed very diligent in his daily cultivation.

Maybe he really can...

No, why would I think that?

Gong Yueli was initially worried, but then she suddenly had a change of heart.

There are still about two months until the opening of the Holy Land Secret Realm.

This period of time is enough for her to find a way to remove the slave mark and then personally eliminate this wicked disciple.

Yes, this wicked disciple is not worth worrying about; the advantage lies with me...

Thinking of this, Gong Yueli smiled and looked at Lu Shixue, nodding:

"Okay, let's leave it at that."

......

......

at the same time.

A mysterious, dark room.

With a sharp edge flashing, Cheng Ran calmly sheathed the Life-Saving Sword.

Behind him, a huge rock was cleaved in two.

Never before has there been such a wonderful start!

Cheng Ran felt that he had wasted the past ten years or so of wielding his sword.

Now that he has awakened the Eternal Sword Body and possesses the divine sword, the speed at which he comprehends swordsmanship will be a hundred times faster than before!

It's even more exciting than a sword duel.

Of course, it's still a tiny bit less impressive than debating swords with one's master.

My master is just too great.

Yes, I mean age.

"Speaking of which, I remember there was also a year's worth of cultivation points among the system rewards."

Cheng Ran sat down on the ground with his back against a stone wall and then opened the system.

[Host, your reward of one year's cultivation points is stored in the warehouse. Would you like to load it immediately?]

How much cultivation can one accumulate in a year?

Cheng Ran secretly calculated in his mind.

Based on his past talent, he could have reached the fifth level of Foundation Establishment at most after a year of cultivation.

This can only be achieved when one is practicing all day long, except for eating and sleeping.

But I am completely different now!

His talent has made a qualitative leap!

He really wanted to see what level he could reach after gaining a year of cultivation.

"System, loading!"

Loading...

[The host's aptitude is at the "God" level; cultivation will be loaded based on this standard.]

[Ding! After two months of cultivation, the host has broken through to the fourth level of Foundation Establishment!]

[Ding! After four months of cultivation, the host has broken through to the fifth level of Foundation Establishment by taking advantage of dual cultivation!]

[Ding! After six months of cultivation, the host has gained profound insights into dual cultivation and has broken through to the seventh level of Foundation Establishment!]

......

[Ding! After one year of cultivation, the host has broken through to the tenth level of the Foundation Establishment stage!]

Ah-shiba!

It's actually the tenth level of Foundation Establishment?

Cheng Ran was stunned.

In the past, if he could cultivate to the tenth level of Foundation Establishment by the age of thirty, he would be grateful.

As a result, in just one year, one can directly reach the tenth level of Foundation Establishment!

I just thought of this.

A surge of spiritual energy, like a flood bursting its banks, poured into his spiritual center.

His body also refined this spiritual power in an instant.

[Cultivation level successfully loaded!]

Cheng Ran looked at her hand and squeezed it hard, feeling as if she were in a dream.

The power of the system is terrifying.

Others need to work hard to cultivate, but I only need to add some points.

It's just like the blooming of laurel.

Cheng Ran smiled knowingly, preparing to continue taking advantage of Ye Chen.

He opened the system panel and checked Ye Chen's latest information:

"Junior Brother Ye, don't blame your senior brother for being inhuman, it's just that the reward is too tempting. You've had a tough time these past few days."

[Related Information: Three days later, when Mu Yunxi emerges from seclusion, she will be poisoned by aphrodisiacs due to a mishap during her cultivation. Ye Chen will help her remove the poison, thereby increasing her favorability with Ye Chen.]

It was actually Senior Sister Mu...

Cheng Ran looked at the new intelligence, thoughtfully resting his chin on his hand.

Mu Yunxi and Ye Chen are childhood sweethearts.

This is common knowledge.

It is said that back then, Ye Chen and Mu Yunxi went to Medicine King Valley together to seek medicine.

At that time, eight-year-old Mu Yunxi suddenly attained enlightenment in front of the valley, awakening three thousand Dao bodies, which shocked the elders of Medicine King Valley, who then gifted her a Heaven-grade pill as an exception.

Later, Ye Chen became a cripple, yet he was able to enter the Holy Land to cultivate, which seemed to be due to Mu Yunxi opening a back door for him.

It's safe to say that it has a very interesting story.

But as the saying goes, there is no such thing as pure friendship between men and women.

After another treatment to remove the lustful poison, the two will definitely develop a relationship that leads them to become Daoist partners...

As a yellow-haired traitor.

Cheng Ran made up her mind that she absolutely could not let this relationship continue!

This is for their own good.

Childhood sweethearts often end up as losers, and Mu Yunxi definitely can't compete with Ye Chen's other women.

Besides, Ye Chen is currently cultivating the eunuch's technique, so how can he easily break the rules just because of childhood friendship?

The task of helping Senior Sister Mu detoxify should be entrusted to someone more suitable.

For example, this traitor Cao Cao.

Hehehe...

Cheng Ran gave a wicked smile and then walked out of the cave.
