Chapter 53

Fu Chen slowly stood up in the middle of the lightning bolt. There was a sound coming from the door which meant his time was off. At this moment, his body was covered with a purple aura.

This aura was his Thunder Aura. It had a slight resemblance to the lightning bolt in mini form. But, his clothes were almost destroyed. He shook his spatial ring and new clothes appeared in his hand.

As he changed, not a single lightning bolt struck him. Thunder Aura was protecting him from the lightning bolt. It was quite amazing that succeed in a single day even though this was just the first stage.

Of course, it wasn’t that easy. His strength of fifty-two tigers really helped him confront those lightning bolts especially when he started absorbing them inside his body to toughen himself.

All that hard work did come in handy. After he left the room, he also discharged his aura. His cultivation was still the same. He walked back to the mansion when he suddenly sensed an extreme flow of Spiritual Qi to the mansion.

He hurriedly rushed towards the source and it was none other than Xue Le’s room. Seeing her cultivate to reach the Golden Core Realm, he sighed and decided not to disturb her.

He went to the backyard of the mansion and started training with his new sword art.

Thirteen Lonely Blooming Peach Sword Art!

When he held the sword in his hand, he felt strange. Sword was the most common weapon for most people but in the hands of a real swordsman, they are the deadliest weapon.

He doesn’t know if he can become a swordsman but he still doesn’t hesitate to train in Thirteen Lonely Blooming Peach Sword Art. Infusing his Spiritual Qi into the sword, he took a step forward, spinning three times. When he stopped, he suddenly draw out his sword.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The infused Spiritual Qi slowly transformed into the sakura leaves as they covered his sword but instead of making any sharp movement, it shook those leaves as they fall.

He took a deep breath and looked at his sword.

‘When I used this attack, those sakura blocks my sword. So, Sakura isn’t there for attacks, they are here to make my sword sharp. If I can slash out my sword before they could start falling, I can reach perfection.’

‘But, it will take a lot of practice and also some other things like how am I supposed to move my hands that fast. It’s really going to be hard. And, I can’t use it till I reach perfection in it.’

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

For the next six hours, he continued swinging his sword. Finally, he got tired and returned back to the mansion. He saw the maids waiting for him.

“You don’t need to wait for me.” Seeing their dedication, he was impressed. But, he felt bad for them.

One of the maids shook her head and said “Young Master, it is our duty as your maid. I will heat the food. Please take a bath!”

Fu Chen truly didn’t expect her to call him Young Master directly. Until yesterday, they only called him Young Master Fu. There was a huge difference. Up until yesterday, they treat him as a friend of Xue Le but now, they treat him like Xue Le.

He nodded his head and dashed towards the shower. He was indeed full of sweat. After taking a proper bath, he relaxed for a moment and then eat. Then, he returned back to Xue Le’s room as everyone closed the door and turned off the lights.

He didn’t disturb her. She was cultivating while sitting on the floor. So, he went to the bed and slept. Cultivation and Training have two distinct results. Cultivation doesn’t make you hungry, it doesn’t make you tired and it doesn’t make you sleepy.

But, Training does. So, he didn’t wait for her.

Next Day,

He woke up and saw Xue Le still immersed in her cultivation. It seemed like she was truly into reaching the Golden Core Realm.

He sighed and finally left the room. After having breakfast, he went back to the Thunder Training Room. But, this time, someone blocked his path.

“Are you Fu Chen?” A tall man with a slender body stood in front of him and asked. This man had two stars on his collar which meant he was an Inner Disciple.

“Yes, who might you be?” Fu Chen asked when he noticed two stars on his collar.

“I am Feng Yu. Let me be something clear with you. Stay away from Xue Le or you won’t know when you die.” Feng Yu expressed a cruel face and spoke while drawing out a murderous aura on him.

Hearing his words, Fu Chen suddenly smirked but he quickly refrained and said “I would’ve done that but you see, Xue Pun came to meet me a few days ago. He formed me to be her fiancee. I can’t do anything. Or, how about you go and tell him something?”

When he heard that name, Feng Yu’s eyes widened. His body shook violently,

‘Damn that bastard! First, that fatty Zhao, and now this kid. She is not your toy. Only I am worthy enough for her. But wait, although his talent is astounding, it shouldn’t be enough reason to come here.”

“You are lying.” Feng Yu stared at Fu Chen and waited for his response.

“Are you trying to say that I have the guts to use the name of Great Family Head as I wished? If you don’t believe me, you can ask her. But now, she is cultivating. Do you have anything else to say?” Fu Chen’s expression didn’t change. He started lying with a straight face.

Feng Yu narrowed his eyes and clenched his fist.

“Alright! I will find this out myself. But, if you are lying, then, believe me, you will die.”

Threatening him, Feng Yu turned around and left.

Fu Chen stared at his back and a lot of information appeared in his mind.

‘Feng Yu! He is at the Sixth Stage of the True Essence Realm. He has the Ice Physique. He is also one of the people who are obsessed with Xue Le or rather I should say overly obsessed.”

‘Fifteen murders, everyone one of them were the disciples who tried to court Xue Le. He attempted three assassinations on Zhao Mu but failed every time. He was captured as well but due to the power of the Feng Family, they couldn’t kill him.’

‘He is a troublesome guy to deal with. I must increase my strength fast. Hopefully, he won’t make any trouble until I leave.’

Fu Chen sighed and rushed towards the Thunder Training Room. He continued there but this time, he also trained his foot. Because of the requirement of Dragon Steps, he must train his legs vigorously,

As for Iron Shirt, he isn’t sure about training it now. Slowly, the days went by like that.

During these days, he missed two people. First, he didn’t find Zhu Tan coming to trouble him anymore. As for his grandfather, he didn’t even make a single move.

And, Elder Zhang as well. He was expecting Elder Zhang to make a move but for some reason, he didn’t make a single move. Not only that, Feng Yu also didn’t make any move.

Fu Chen continuously trained his Thunder Aura, Thirteen Lonely Blooming Peach Sword Art, Dragon Step, and also the Golden Sun Cultivation Technique.

For Thunder Aura, he unlocked nearly fifty acupoints. He didn’t even reach the Entry Realm of Thirteen Lonely Blooming Peach Sword Art. But, his Dragon Step improved.

The difference was quite simple. For the sword art, he needed comprehension while for Dragon Steps, he needed training. He was only best at training.

Even his Golden Sun Cultivation Technique lacked a lot. He barely reached the sixth stage of Foundation Establishment Realm with those resources and this cultivation technique.

During this time, he received another letter from his parents. After knowing that his parents were fine, he cultivated a calm mind. During this time, Xue Le broke through and reached Golden Core Realm.

She officially got promoted into Core Disciple. After she woke up from her cultivation, they ravaged the bed day after day. It seemed like the second time didn’t go that hard for her.

So, they made their relationship deeper as time goes on. After a while, it was finally the fourteenth day. On this day, he went to meet the sect master.

“Disciple Fu Chen, you are finally here. It seems like you trained those techniques and arts quite well. I hope you are ready for this task.”

“Sect Master, I will do my best.” Fu Chen nodded his head.

The Sect Master took out two scrolls and threw them at him.

“Your task is to spy on Five Regions. One scroll is the Thousand Face Transformation Technique while another scroll is Energy Concealing Technique.”

“You have one whole year to spy their forces and strength. As for your rewards, you will become the Core Disciple and I will personally take you as my disciple after you return.”

Saying so, he also threw a ring and said “This ring holds every necessary resource to survive. I will see you in a year.”

At first, Fu Chen wanted to reject it but when he thought about it, he could first complete his own task and then focus on this one. Heck! This only made it easier but there was one thing that bothered him.

What is Sect Master’s purpose?

His death? Or, his separation from Xue Le? Or, Both?
