Chapter 534: Chapter 534 – Who Taught You That, Terrifying Conch?

Chapter 534: Who Taught You That, Terrifying Conch?

“Oh . ” Conch seemed to only vaguely understand what he meant .

She had been cultivating the breathing technique that Lu Zhou gave her during the past three months . She was forming Primal Qi and expanding her dantian’s sea of Qi . These basic cultivation exercises were inevitably bland . When she saw her seniors unleashing various energy seals every day, she could not help but feel envious .

“Let’s start small; the size of your finger . Follow my instructions: Calm your breath, focus your mind, guide your Primal Qi along the Extraordinary Eight Meridians, and release them from your finger into energy . ”

Zhu Honggong was instructing her seriously . At the same time, an energy sword materialized above his palm . It was only the size of his finger as it hovered there silently .

“You’re amazing, Eighth Senior Brother,” Conch said as she applauded Zhu Honggong .

A proud expression appeared on Zhu Honggong’s face . He said, “This is nothing… With better control, you’ll be able to form purer, larger, and more energy swords… Be patient . It won’t be a problem so long as you’re willing to spend some time on it . ”

“Is this how you do it?”

Whizz!

A finger-sized energy sword hovered above Conch’s fair palm . It seemed more translucent than Zhu Honggong’s .

“Uh…” Zhu Honggong was stunned . He could not believe his eyes . He rubbed his eyes and focused his gaze again . It was a genuinely bright energy sword . Faint red radiance swirled around the energy sword .

“Eighth Senior Brother?” Conch said softly .

“Oh, oh, oh… Yes, that’s what you can do once you reduce the size enough . ”

Zhu Honggong focused his mind and raised his hand . A palm-sized energy sword hovered above his palm . Surely, he could show his prestige as a senior brother with an energy sword of this size, right?

“Is this it?” Conch spread her palm again . A palm-sized energy sword appeared .

Zhu Honggong . “???”

‘She’s so powerful?’

Who should he turn to? ‘No, no, I must soften her edges . ’

As he looked at Conch’s pure and innocent face, Zhu Honggong decided to try something more difficult . He had to establish his superiority as a senior brother, after all . “Condensing energy is only at the beginner’s level . I think that you’re initiated enough to form a palm-sized energy sword… To be honest, energy swords aren’t my forte . That’s more of Second Senior Brother’s specialty . He can instantly form 100 energy swords . The Sword Saint, Luo Shisan, can form 13 substantial energy swords . ”

“What about you, Eighth Senior Brother?” Conch looked at Zhu Honggong expectantly . Then, she added, “I want to see . ”

“…” Zhu Honggong cleared his throat and calmed his spirit . Then, he said, “I’m more skilled in energy fists . ” After he said this, he raised his hands . The Tear Stain Boxing Gloves covered his hands, and he punched the air . A fist-shaped energy shot out .

Bam!

It struck a tree . A dent could be seen on the tree’s trunk .

“Do you want to learn this?” Zhu Honggong looked at Conch . A hint of delight could be heard in his voice .

Conch who was initially interested shook her head when she saw the huge fists that were in no way aesthetically pleasing . “No . ”

“What do you want to learn, then? I’ll teach you,” Zhu Honggong said .

“Energy swords . ”

Zhu Honggogn was rendered briefly speechless . Then, he said, “Energy swords are fine . I might not be skilled in them, but I think it’s more than enough for me to teach you . ”

He put his boxing gloves away . He focused his breathing and mind . Three energy swords materialized above his palm . Although they were not huge, it was an easy feat for a Nascent Divinity realm elite .

Conch spread her palm and asked, “Like this?”

Three energy swords appeared above her palm .

“…” Zhu Honggong’s eyes widened . He felt stifled .

Ordinary cultivators would need years to reach the Sense Condensing realm from the Mystic Enlightening realm . They would have needed two to three years of training to produce energy swords like these . Yet, she managed this in three months?

He looked at the three energy swords . ‘Stay calm! Hold the fort!’

This time, he did all he could . Within a few meters of himself, palm-sized energy swords filled the air . They were arranged neatly, and they shone brightly .

“What do you think, Little Junior Sister?”

Indeed, Conch could not achieve this level of energy condensation . However, she seemed to like such gorgeous displays . Hence, she applauded him and said, “Again, Eighth Senior Brother . More, more!”

“…”

‘More, what?’

He was not skilled in this to begin with . It was taking a lot out of him to maintain them for long .

Zhu Honggong clenched his fist . The energy swords faded away . “Master is more skilled in these messy and flashy energy sword skills . I can’t do it . ”

…

Inside the hidden chamber, the sentences that reached Lu Zhou’s ears were usually in pieces . However, this particular statement clearly entered his ears .

Lu Zhou instinctively rebuked Zhu Honggong, “Nonsense! Are you asking for a beating?”

A faint blue light shrouded the soundwave as it traveled out of the hidden chamber and reached the outside of the great hall in just an instance .

To Zhu Honggong, it was as shocking as seeing a bolt of lightning when the sky was blue . He trembled inwardly .

Thud!

Zhu Honggong fell to his knees as he said, “I was wrong, master! I’ll slap myself!”

He did not hesitate as he slapped himself twice on the cheeks .

“Disciplined Zhu Honggong . Reward: 200 merit points . ”

Conch appeared shocked as she looked in the direction of the hidden chamber . She bowed . “Master . ”

There was no reply from the hidden chamber . Everything was as silent as it had been .

Zhu Honggong looked up, making a mental note to himself . ‘Master is too powerful . It’s as though he’s omnipresent . How did he hear that? I should stay far away from now . ’

He got up and looked at Conch meaningfully . “Let’s go to the back of the mountain . ”

“Back of the mountain?”

“It’s quiet there and suitable for cultivation… You’ve only managed to form three palm-sized energy swords . That’s far from enough . I’ll teach you how to form the fourth one . ”

“Fourth one?” Conch scratched her head and spread her palm again .

Whizz!

As her Primal Qi surged, energy swords appeared on her palm .

There were four of them, no more, no less…

“…” Zhu Honggong’s expression turned stiff . He was at a loss as to what to say . He snapped back to his senses after Conch clenched her fist and the energy swords scattered .

Conch said, “Eighth Senior Brother, I want to learn how to make as many energy swords as you did . ”

“…” Zhu Honggong seemed to be put in a tight spot . He turned around and left .

“Eighth Senior Brother, how can I make bigger energy swords?”

“N-next time…”

“Eighth Senior Brother, I want to learn . Eight Senior Brother, don’t run! How can I make an energy sword as huge as a large tree?”

Zhu Honggong picked up the pace .

Conch gave chase .

After they vanished, Mingshi Yin poked his head out from behind a nearby tree . He had dark circles around his eyes . He patted his chest and sighed in relief . “Finally, I don’t have to teach that little ancestor anymore…”

Throughout these three months, the seniors had been taking turns to teach Conch . In the beginning, everyone was eager to take on the role of a teacher . However, with the passage of time, they realized that Conch was not merely talented, she was sharp, loved to learn, and was persistent about reaching perfection . She loved to get to the bottom of things, no matter what the topic was . She would not rest until she mastered what she wanted to learn . As this went on, even Duanmu Sheng and Zhao Yue were tormented by this . Even someone as slippery as Mingshi Yin could not escape Conch’s persistence .

Mingshi Yin stretched his limbs and yawned as he said to himself, “Let’s take a nap . ”

As soon as Mingshi Yin finished speaking, Conch’s voice reached his ears . “Fourth Senior Brother, can you continue to teach me? I want to learn how to make a lot of energy swords . ”

Thud!

Mingshi Yin’s chest tightened . He cursed silently as he fell off the branch .

At this very moment, a female disciple hurried down the mountain . When she saw Mingshi Yin and Conch before the great hall, she bowed and said, “Greetings, Mister Fourth, Miss Tenth . ”

Mingshi Yin struck the ground with a single palm . He did two flips in the air as he stood and calmly asked, “What’s with the urgency?”

“Someone’s requesting an audience at the foot of the mountain . ”
