"Kill!"
Xiao Chen stomped heavily on the ground, causing the ground to tremble. He crossed his arms in front of him. Instantly, a tiger and a dragon intersected, merging with Xiao Chen's body.
A faint golden glow appeared on his body. A tiger and a dragon moved around the surface of his body.
Xiao Chen withdrew his aura, waiting to unleash it. A horrifying force was accumulating. Xiao Chen felt all the muscles in his body swell up. There was a strong force that seemed like it would gush out at any moment.
However, this horrifying force was not unleashed in the end. It slowly disappeared. Xiao Chen knew why he had not successfully executed the Dragon Hissing Tiger Roar in this wondrous state.
It was because this Great Dragon Tiger Fist used the Dragon and Tiger Body Sculpting Art as its foundation. If he had not cultivated the Dragon and Tiger Body Sculpting Art to the fourth layer, the Dragon Roar Piercing the Heavens, he would not be able to materialize the true might of the Azure Dragon.
In order to balance the might of the Azure Dragon, the ferocious tiger could only lower its own aura. Thus, the Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon would not be able to reach Great Perfection.
"Shua!"
After Xiao Chen executed the Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, that wondrous state immediately disappeared. He thought to himself, What a pity. If I had cultivated the Dragon and Tiger Body Sculpting Art to the fourth layer, I would not have been able to do so.
If I had cultivated the Dragon and Tiger Body Sculpting Art to the fourth layer, I might have been able to completely comprehend the Great Dragon Tiger Fist in one go.
Although the state disappeared, the comprehension ability that the Flowing Light Flower gave him did not decrease. It would accompany Xiao Chen for the rest of his life, giving him boundless benefits.
Xiao Chen plucked another Flowing Light Flower petal and released Bai from the Spirit Blood Jade. At this moment, Bai had already sobered up. It looked angrily at Xiao Chen, blaming Xiao Chen for locking it up.
Xiao Chen took out a golden petal and wanted to give it to Bai to eat. Who knew that the little fellow would ignore him no matter what he said, as though it was really angry.
"Don't be angry, little fellow. Here's something good to eat. After you eat it, I will not lock you up again." Xiao Chen was like a wolf grandmother tempting it with a smile.
Bai lay on the ground and pretended not to hear what Xiao Chen said.
Xiao Chen smiled helplessly. This fellow really couldn't do anything about it. For the sake of this Flowing Light Marigold Flower, the Scarlet Crown Snake had waited bitterly for god knows how many years.
On the other hand, the Flowing Light Flower had a much stronger effect on spirit beasts than on humans. Under certain circumstances, it could even allow spirit beasts to transform in advance.
Therefore, the Flowing Light Flower must be given to Bai. Otherwise, it would be too wasteful. Xiao Chen walked over and called out a few more times. The little guy just lay on the ground and pretended to be dead, ignoring him.
When Xiao Chen saw the situation, he could only use his trump card. He took out a bottle of Liushang Pavilion's wine from his Universe Ring. Squatting on the ground, Zhang Xuan opened the bottle cap and shook it a few times. A rich aroma of wine immediately drifted out.
Boom!
A white figure flashed before Xiao Chen's eyes. It was like a white specter. Strangely, it could not move at all. It pounced towards the wine bottle in Xiao Chen's hand.
Fortunately, Xiao Chen was prepared. With a 'shua' sound, he switched the wine bottle to his other hand. Otherwise, it might really be snatched away by Bai's sudden leap.
"You have really become a little drunkard. Eat this flower petal first, then I will give you the wine. Otherwise, there is no way," Xiao Chen said as he patted Bai's head.
Bai looked at Xiao Chen with a wronged expression. Its cute eyes were misty; it looked very pitiful. It stood up straight and used its white claws to hook onto the wine bottle in Xiao Chen's hand.
When Xiao Chen saw how pitiful it was, his heart softened. He said, "I'm afraid of you. You are really a little ancestor. I can't hit you or scold you. I even have to provide you with good food and drinks."
Bai gulped down a big mouthful of wine. Its little face revealed a blush. Then, it suddenly snatched away the Flowing Light Flower petal in Xiao Chen's hand.
It made a face at Xiao Chen and slipped away. Xiao Chen revealed a smile. He used his Spiritual Sense to chase after it. When he discovered that it had not gone far, he relaxed.
After leaving Mohe City, Bai had been following him everywhere. There were a few times when they met with danger, and Bai had saved him more than once.
Xiao Chen had long forgotten his purpose in capturing Bai. Now, in his eyes, Bai was no longer a pet but his best companion.
Although Bai cultivated the Mysterious Nine Heavenly Revolution Transformation and grew very quickly, its current combat prowess was no weaker than a regular Martial Saint's. However, Xiao Chen had never thought of asking it to help him in battle.
There were a few times when Bai wanted to run out and help him. However, he blocked it in the mixed blood cloud, not letting it out.
It was fine as long as it could live happily. If it got injured in battle or got into an accident, it would be too late for regrets.
Early the next morning, the first ray of sunlight from the east shone through the window and onto Xiao Chen's face.
Xiao Chen opened his eyes and let out a drawn-out breath. He slowly got up and stretched his body. After a night of cultivation, he was filled with vigor. He was full of energy, Qi, and spirit; he was filled with energy.
After washing up, Xiao Chen rushed to the dueling grounds of Qingyun Peak. Liu Ruyue had already agreed to teach him Listening to the Sword and Communicating With It.
Xiao Chen finally had a clear idea of his purpose in coming to the Heavenly Saber Pavilion. He could not help but be filled with anticipation; he quickened his pace.
"Pu!"
Just as Xiao Chen walked out of the courtyard, a white figure leaped out. Its glossy body reflected a faint glow. It nimbly jumped onto Xiao Chen's shoulder.
To Xiao Chen, Xiao Bai's petite body was almost negligible. It did not put any pressure on him at all when it sat on his shoulder.
Xiao Chen did not know what difference the Flowing Light Flower made to Bai. He was curious. He could not help but gently pull Bai from his shoulder into his embrace and observe it carefully.
Bai's eyes flickered with an intelligent glow. When Xiao Chen looked into its eyes, he felt that it was more intelligent than usual. He could see a trace of shyness in the depths of its eyes.
Shyness? I must have seen wrongly. It does not make sense for such a human-like gaze to appear in Bai's eyes.
Xiao Chen composed himself and looked again. That shyness had already disappeared. Xiao Chen smiled faintly. He had indeed seen wrongly.
Xiao Chen placed Bai back on his shoulder. Ten minutes later, he arrived at Qingyun Peak's dueling plaza.
It was unknown when Liu Ruyue had arrived. She was currently guiding Liu Suifeng in Martial Techniques. The expression on her face was very stern, and there was some disappointment in her eyes.
"You failed the exam last year. Your bone age is already nineteen. If you fail again, you will never be able to become a core disciple. Don't go to Jade Maiden Peak for now. I have already helped you apply for leave," Liu Ruyue said with a sullen expression.
Liu Suifeng said with a bitter expression, "That can't be. Sis, I have an appointment with Miss Xinyun in the afternoon. We are going to do a mission together."
"Dong!" Liu Ruyue smacked Liu Suifeng's forehead violently, "You are useless. She is already a core disciple of Jade Maiden Peak. She might even be a true inheritor. Look at you. You are still acting like trash.
"In this Tianwu Continent, if you do not have strong strength, how can you protect the people you love? You are not even as strong as a girl and you still have the cheek to chase after her. I feel ashamed for you. "
Liu Suifeng rubbed his head and said, "Sis, you can't say that. Then wouldn't a strong and ferocious woman like you have to spend the rest of your life alone?"
"You are asking for a beating."
Liu Suifeng nimbly dodged to the side and continued, "Haha, Sis, I am not wrong. Look at the Great Qin Nation, which man can defeat you? It would be difficult to find one!"
"You still dare to talk back. You will stay in Qingyun Peak until the end of the month." Liu Ruyue glared at Liu Suifeng and said fiercely. When she heard Xiao Chen's footsteps, Liu Ruyue could not be bothered with Liu Suifeng.
When Liu Ruyue saw Bai on Xiao Chen's shoulder, her eyes lit up. She quickly walked over and felt it was strange. She said, "This little fellow, why does it seem like he has more Spiritual Energy than yesterday?"
Xiao Bai seemed to understand Liu Ruyue's words. A happy expression appeared on her face as she blinked at Liu Ruyue a few times.
After a while, he cheered and jumped down energetically. He grabbed onto Xiao Chen's leg and shook it continuously.
Xiao Chen knew what it meant. He took out a bottle of wine from the Universe Ring. Bai held the wine and immediately ran to the side happily.
Liu Ruyue revealed a rare warm smile on her face. She said, "This little fellow will be fine after drinking too much, right?"
Xiao Chen joked, "Let him be, he is fine after drinking a little. As long as he doesn't go crazy, he will be fine."
Liu Ruyue withdrew her smile. She did not forget what she was here for today. She said, "Come with me."
Knowing what Liu Ruyue was going to teach him, Xiao Chen felt excited in his heart. He quickly followed. Liu Ruyue brought Xiao Chen to a weapon rack and stopped. There were all sorts of sabers on the weapon rack.
Liu Ruyue drew the small saber in her hand with a 'huang dang' sound. The entire weapon rack could not help but shake. All the sabers on the weapon rack flew into the air with a 'ka ca' sound.
"Dang!
Dang! "Liu Ruyue shouted softly and all the sabers stabbed into the ground two meters deep. They were incomparably neat and densely packed around the two of them.
There were at least five hundred weapons around them. Xiao Chen was startled. This Gentle and Quiet Communicating with Spirit was truly impressive. When fighting with others, if one could control their opponent's weapon, they would already have won half the battle.
Before the battle even started, they would already be halfway to victory. After losing their weapons, unless they were people who practiced close combat, their combat prowess would be greatly reduced.
Liu Ruyue stood across from Xiao Chen. She had a calm expression on her face as she sheathed her saber. She said indifferently, "Listening to the Sword and Communicating with Spirit is split into four realms. From the lowest to the highest, they are Listening to the Sword, Controlling the Sword, Sword Heart, and Communicating with the Spirit.
"Up until now, I have only reached the stage of Controlling the Sword. The technique I just executed is what I can achieve after I reach Great Perfection in Controlling the Sword."
Xiao Chen listened carefully. When he saw Liu Ruyue stop, he asked, "Actually, I have a question. Why is Listening to the Sword and Communicating with Spirit called Listening to the Sword and not Listening to the Saber and Communicating with Spirit? Why is it known for the sword?"
Liu Ruyue explained, "The saber did not exist in the beginning. A long time ago, there was only one type of weapon in the continent: the sword. There were all sorts of swords. The saber was derived from the shape of the sword.
"Listening to the Sword and Communicating with Spirit was originally a state of the sword. This state could be applied to the saber. After people got used to it, they were too lazy to change it.
