Zhou Wen kept calling Li Xuan, but no one answered. As for the few sprouts, they gradually grew and took the form of flower buds.
Without any hesitation, Zhou Wen summoned Truth Listener and plucked the few sprouts. He called Li Xuan again, and this time, the call went through.
"Old Zhou, what's the matter in the middle of the night?" Li Xuan's sleepy voice sounded from the phone.
"I called you more than ten times. Why didn't you answer?" Zhou Wen asked.
"That's impossible, right?" As Li Xuan spoke, he looked at his phone. Indeed, there were more than ten missed calls. He was immediately given a fright. Strange, my phone is by my pillow. How can I not hear it?
Cultivators had very sharp senses. No matter how soundly they slept, it was impossible for them not to be woken up by the ringing of their phones.
"Perhaps you've been too tired recently. Continue sleeping. I'm going to sleep too." Zhou Wen was now certain that Li Xuan had been in a state of suspended animation just like Wang Lu.
Ignoring Li Xuan's thoughts, Zhou Wen hung up and looked at the mysterious phone. He saw that Truth Listener had already swallowed the few flower buds and was still licking its lips.
For the next few days, Zhou Wen didn't game much. He stared at the Dead Man Tree every day. As long as it changed color and grew flower buds, Zhou Wen would get Truth Listener to pluck the flower buds and eat them.
As a result, there were no more strange deaths in the school. At most, there were rumors of people suddenly fainting and waking up very quickly.
It wasn't until the eighth day that the Dead Man Tree returned to its original black color. There were no other changes. Only then did Zhou Wen heave a sigh of relief.
However, on second thought, Zhou Wen felt that it was a pity. Up to now, he still didn't know what changes the flowers would undergo if they truly matured.
Now that this tree exists on the phone, no one can see it again, much less touch it. I'm afraid I won't have a chance to see the scene of the flowers truly blooming. Zhou Wen felt a little regretful as he thought to himself, If only this tree could be taken out again. In the future, I'll plant it in front of whoever offends me. Those people don't know how powerful the Dead Man Tree is. If they touch this tree, one will die. Two will die. How great would that be?
Zhou Wen only had this thought. The Dead Man Tree had already entered the game, so it was impossible for him to take it out again.
"Coach, are you free now?" Feng Qiuyan, who he hadn't seen in days, suddenly came to Zhou Wen's dorm.
Zhou Wen felt a headache when he saw him, but he couldn't chase him away. All he could do was reply, "I'm gaming all day today, so I don't have much time."
Feng Qiuyan didn't mind as he continued, "Coach, I've already made some progress in the way you taught me. I hope you can test the results of my recent cultivation."
Zhou Wen wore a puzzled look. He didn't remember when he had taught Feng Qiuyan the way to calm his mind. Furthermore, this fellow had actually mastered it.
"How?" Zhou Wen couldn't say that he hadn't taught them anything.
"I only know how to use a saber. Coach, please spar with me and see if there's anything I can improve on. Treat it as my third lesson," Feng Qiuyan said as he transferred 20,000 yuan to Zhou Wen.
Zhou Wen originally wanted to say that he didn't have the time to spar with him, but when he saw that he could accept 20,000 yuan, he swallowed the words that were at the tip of his tongue.
He had no reason to reject it since he could get 2,000 yuan from a spar.
After arriving at the school's special training hall with Feng Qiuyan, Feng Qiuyan took a rubber saber used for practice and said to Zhou Wen, "Coach, what weapon do you like to use?"
"I won't be using a weapon." Zhou Wen had never really practiced any weapon-type combat skills. Although he could use a sword or saber if given to him, he only had the authority to swing it with brute force. There wasn't much technical content, so he might as well not use it.
"Coach, please take this." Feng Qiuyan didn't stand on ceremony as he slashed with his saber.
Feng Qiuyan's strike was as heavy as a mountain. It was so fast that even though one could see it clearly, one couldn't dodge it.
What was even more terrifying was that the saber had a biting cold saber aura. In an instant, it streaked across a distance of several meters and slashed at Zhou Wen.
Feng Qiuyan's saber was fast, but Zhou Wen wasn't slow either. He moved his body sideways and dodged Feng Qiuyan's saber aura. At the same time, he used Dragon Gate Fairy Skill to try his best to dodge Feng Qiuyan's sharp saber technique, Rose Saber Aura.
Feng Qiuyan's saber was faster than the last. Zhou Wen pushed the Dragon Gate Fairy Skill to its limits, but he found it more and more difficult. It was as though he was a tiny boat in a raging sea that could sink at any moment.
Zhou Wen tried his best, but he could only barely prevent himself from being struck by Feng Qiuyan. If it was a pure competition of technique, Zhou Wen couldn't even find a chance to counterattack.
"Wait a minute," Zhou Wen suddenly shouted, stopping Feng Qiuyan from continuing his attack.
"Coach, what's the matter?" Feng Qiuyan stopped his saber and asked.
"You have slashed a total of 23 times. Even if each strike only expends 1 Primordial Energy, your Primordial Energy should have been depleted. How can you still use saber aura?" Zhou Wen asked as he stared at Feng Qiuyan.
Furthermore, Feng Qiuyan's saber aura was so powerful. It was impossible for him to only expend 1 point of saber aura.
Feng Qiuyan said, "This is because I've raised my Primordial Energy Skill, Startling Rainbow Saber Aura, to Rank 10. After advancing to Rank 10, the expenditure on Primordial Energy has been greatly reduced. Furthermore, my Life Providence and Primordial Energy Art augment my saber techniques, further reducing the expenditure and speeding up my Primordial Energy recovery. Under normal circumstances, I can slash out 27 times consecutively before my Primordial Energy is completely expended. "
"Do all Primordial Energy Skills have such effects after reaching Rank 10?" Zhou Wen asked in surprise.
"However, no matter which Primordial Energy Skill it is, there will be a qualitative leap when it reaches Rank 10. However, the effects might be somewhat different. Don't you know, Coach?" Feng Qiuyan looked at Zhou Wen in puzzlement. He believed that Zhou Wen definitely knew about this.
"I've never cultivated Startling Rainbow Saber Aura, so I don't know the effects of Startling Rainbow Saber Aura at Rank 10. I'm just asking." Zhou Wen thought of his Ashen Palm. Although it was only a Mortal stage Primordial Energy Skill, it was abnormally powerful. It had quite a bit of lethality against Legendary creatures. Vigor Divine Fist, which was also at the Mortal stage, was no longer suitable.
Astral Slash Blade and Astral Suction Palm don't have any ranks. I'm afraid they can't be improved. Ashen Palm is already at Rank 10, but it's a Mortal stage Primordial Energy Skill after all. Its strength can't keep up with my current needs. I wonder if there's any possibility of improving it. Zhou Wen decided to use Ashen Palm to fight Feng Qiuyan.
However, he soon realized that Feng Qiuyan's technique was much more mature than his. Soon, Zhou Wen was at a disadvantage. All he could do was use Dragon Gate Fairy Skill to dodge, making it difficult for him to find an opportunity to counterattack.
Feng Qiuyan's saber techniques became faster and steadier. Even without the assistance of the saber aura, he still had extremely powerful lethality.
