Looking at the obviously thin Xia Chenxi, Lu Xuan's mind was in a mess. He had been cultivating in the Five Element Cave for more than half a month. Besides wanting to comprehend the Wind Concept as soon as possible, he also had the intention of avoiding Xia Chenxi. He really didn't know how to face her.
He would always remember the amazing feeling he had when he saw Xia Chenxi for the first time in Lin City. At that time, Xia Chenxi was the only daughter of the City Lord. She had extraordinary talent and was loved by many. As for him, Lu Xuan, he was just one of the countless low-level warriors. They were not people of the same world.
However, due to a strange combination of factors, the two of them crossed paths. With the help of the Ancient Enchantment Technique, Xia Chenxi became curious about Lu Xuan. After that, Lu Xuan amazed the world in the Wind Sword School entrance exam, which made Xia Chenxi pay more attention to Lu Xuan.
If the two of them had entered the Inner Sect or the Core Sect at the same time, the result would have been completely different. Lu Xuan wouldn't have fallen in love with Lin Xinyi. He wouldn't have gotten to know Chen Xiaohan, and he wouldn't have met Zhang Dongshuang and Zhao Binger …
Everything was just an "if". The established facts couldn't be changed, but the result could be changed.
Since Xia Chenxi was interested in him, why didn't he try his best? Lu Xuan made a bastard choice. Although he had gotten Lin Xinyi's permission before coming to the Cloud Sky Mountain, he still felt a little guilty.
"Chenxi, I have just comprehended the Wind Concept and am about to practice the Wind Riding Technique. I need someone to practice with me. Do you have time?" Lu Xuan asked.
"Ah? Yes … "Xia Chenxi was slightly startled and could not help but blurt out. Although she knew that it was best for her to refuse, she could not bring herself to do so.
"That's great. Let's go inside and cultivate. I still have a lot of time to use this Five Elements Cave," Lu Xuan said with a hint of joy in his voice. Let's just leave it like this for now and take it one step at a time.
"You were injured just now. Do you want to rest first?" Xia Chenxi asked worriedly. It seemed that Lu Xuan's injuries were not light.
"It's nothing. It's just a flesh wound. It's nothing serious." Lu Xuan waved his hand indifferently. Although he had lost quite a lot of blood and it looked quite serious, the truth was that he hadn't hurt any of Lu Xuan's vitals at all. With his current physique, his recovery ability was extremely strong, and the wound had stopped bleeding.
Xia Chenxi immediately made a sound of agreement and followed Lu Xuan into the Five Elements Cave.
Lu Xuan let Xia Chenxi attack freely, and he used the Wind Riding Technique to dodge. Even Kong Wenbin couldn't do anything to Lu Xuan when he attacked with all his strength, so Xia Chenxi was naturally the same.
Lu Xuan also took the opportunity to check Xia Chenxi's strength. Xia Chenxi's cultivation talent was extremely strong. When she cultivated in Lin City, she reached the sixth level of the Body Refinement Realm at the age of sixteen. Now that a year had passed, she had broken through three small realms and reached the ninth level of the Body Refinement Realm.
However, her strength was obtained through bitter cultivation, unlike Lu Xuan, who broke through in battle after battle. Therefore, in terms of actual combat ability, she couldn't be compared with Lu Xuan at all. Even if Lu Xuan suppressed his strength to the same level as Xia Chenxi, defeating Xia Chenxi would be a piece of cake.
While familiarizing himself with the Wind Riding Technique, Lu Xuan constantly gave pointers. With his current strength and vision, as well as his understanding of swordsmanship, it was naturally very easy for him to give pointers to Xia Chenxi. After all, he had spent this year in constant battles.
Under Lu Xuan's pointers, Xia Chenxi naturally made rapid progress. Her comprehension was originally very high, but what she lacked was real fighting. Now, with the pointers of a veteran like Lu Xuan, who often fought, the flaws and superficial moves in her swordsmanship were all removed by Lu Xuan. In a short period of time, Xia Chenxi's combat ability was further improved.
Both of them also enjoyed this process very much. The last trace of estrangement in their hearts also gradually disappeared with the passage of time.
After an unknown period of time, Lu Xuan suddenly received a Voice Transmitting Talisman.
Xiao Long's voice sounded, but it was to inform Lu Xuan of a piece of news. Because Kong Wenbin openly violated the sect rules, caused trouble in the Five Element Cave, and even attacked a fellow disciple without permission, he was punished by Instructor Yang.
According to the rules, it was not too much to expel Kong Wenbin from the sect. However, considering Kong Wenbin's good attitude in admitting his mistakes, and his extraordinary talent, in the end, Kong Wenbin was only punished to face the wall for half a year to reflect on himself.
After receiving this news, Lu Xuan frowned. What Kong Wenbin did was indeed inappropriate, but he was not a bad person. Whether or not he had selfish motives, at least he was not wrong to think about Xia Chenxi.
"I'll go to Instructor Yang to plead for leniency," Lu Xuan said.
Xia Chenxi also nodded slightly, "Senior Brother Kong is a good person. In the past year, he has taken care of me a lot, but he is too stubborn. Lu Xuan, it's naturally the best if you don't hold a grudge against him."
Lu Xuan smiled indifferently and said, "I'm not so narrow-minded. If Sun Yingshuai was punished, I would definitely ignore it, but Kong Wenbin, if I can help him, I will."
As Lu Xuan spoke, he also sighed in his heart. It seemed that Senior Brother Xiao Long was really a good person. The reason why he passed this news to Lu Xuan was naturally with the intention of asking Lu Xuan to plead for leniency, so that the relationship between Kong Wenbin and Kong Wenbin would not become too stiff.
However, this would not benefit Xiao Long at all. On the contrary, the fiercer the relationship between Lu Xuan and Kong Wenbin, the greater the benefits he would receive. Of course, it could not be ruled out that Xiao Long was doing Lu Xuan a favor on purpose. Anyway, even if he did not say it, Lin Tian and the others would still pass the news to Lu Xuan.
Immediately, Lu Xuan and Xia Chenxi both set off to look for Instructor Yang.
"Instructor Yang, Senior Brother Kong and I were just having an impromptu spar. As for my injury, it was not Senior Brother Kong's intention. It was my own carelessness. Therefore, I hope that Instructor Yang can retract his order and not punish Senior Brother Kong." Lu Xuan bowed to Instructor Yang.
Instructor Yang glanced at Lu Xuan with interest, then looked at Xia Chenxi beside him, before saying, "You don't have to excuse Kong Wenbin. I naturally know the cause of this matter. However, if you really want to plead for leniency on his behalf, it is not that I can't agree to it. However, you have to think this through. If I put him in confinement for half a year, it will only be beneficial to all of you."
Instructor Yang emphasized the last two words when he said 'you guys'.
His words made both Lu Xuan and Xia Chenxi blush at the same time. If Kong Wenbin was really put in confinement for half a year, then he would definitely not be able to disturb Lu Xuan and Xia Chenxi for half a year. At that time, Kong Wenbin would probably really give up after half a year.
"Thank you for your concern, Instructor Yang. However, I, Lu Xuan, will not use this kind of method to win the heart of a beauty. Even if I want to win, I have to win fair and square!" Lu Xuan said.
"What are you talking about!" Xia Chenxi couldn't help but rebuke Lu Xuan. How could he say such things in front of Instructor Yang? He even talked about winning the heart of a beauty. It was really embarrassing.
However, when she heard Lu Xuan's words, she also felt sweet in her heart. Although she vaguely knew that there might be a bottomless abyss in front of her, she could not stop walking.
"Haha, good boy, you have courage! I admire you. " Instructor Yang couldn't help but laugh, "If that's the case, then I will do you a favor. However, it is impossible to cancel the punishment. Let Kong Wenbin reflect for three days as a punishment."
Three days was not a long or short period of cultivation for a martial artist. It could not be considered a punishment at all.
Then Instructor Yang seemed to think of something and asked again, "By the way, I heard that you have comprehended the concept of wind?"
"Not really comprehended, but the concept of wind is indeed at the entry level." Lu Xuan answered honestly. There was still a long way to go to truly comprehend the concept of wind.
Hearing this, Instructor Yang was even happier. Previously, he had advised Lu Xuan not to choose the Flying Art. He didn't expect that in less than a month, Lu Xuan could really make the impossible possible and successfully comprehend the concept of wind. The Flying Art was a rare martial arts technique. With this martial arts technique, one's combat ability would be greatly improved. More importantly, it could greatly increase one's ability to survive.
"That's good. You have indeed made me look at you in a different light. During this period of time, try your best to practice the Flying Art until it reaches the Great Completion stage. If I am not wrong, the Mysterious Ice Pavilion's Mysterious Ice Secret Realm is almost up. There is not much time left for you. If you can master the Flying Art, your chances of survival will be higher." Instructor Yang's face gradually became serious. There were countless opportunities in the secret realm, but the dangers were also unpredictable. In the past, when the Profound Ice Secret Realm opened, many disciples went in and never came out.
Lu Xuan nodded. Although the Profound Ice Secret Realm was not small, he still wanted to try it. With his current strength, he could not ignore the dangers that he would encounter in half a year. The greater the risk, the greater the reward. Moreover, just for Zhao Binger, Lu Xuan had to go.
"Chenxi, although your strength has not reached the tenth rank of the Body Refinement Realm, your talent is extraordinary. If you also want to go to the Profound Ice Secret Realm, I can give you a place. But you have to think about the dangers." Instructor Yang turned to Xia Chenxi and said.
Xia Chenxi was stunned, then her face showed a trace of joy. Almost all the core disciples knew about the Profound Ice Secret Realm, but they also knew that the number of people who could go was limited. Instructor Yang and the others had not announced the specific places. She did not expect that he would tell her that she was also qualified to go!
"Of course I am willing!" Xia Chenxi answered without the slightest hesitation. This kind of secret realm exploration was something that could only be encountered by chance. Even if they could not obtain anything rare, if they could come out of it alive, their strength would definitely increase qualitatively.
"Well, since you are willing, then you have to be prepared. At the same time, try to improve your strength as much as possible. Every time you improve your strength, your chances of survival will be higher." Instructor Yang nodded. After thinking for a while, he continued: "During this time, you should ask Lu Xuan more. Among all the core disciples, although Lu Xuan's strength is not the strongest, his combat strength is definitely top notch. If you can learn even a little from him, it will greatly improve your combat strength."
