Chapter 88: Chapter 5: Heaven-Supporting Sword, Add Points for Me (Fifth Update)

“God bless, Junior Brother Zhou is safe and sound.”

Mu Ling’Er prayed while desperately running with her severely injured body.

She ran and ran.

Ran and ran.

Suddenly, she collided with a warm and strong chest, and Mu Ling’Er was shocked. She looked up to find Zhou Chen’s familiar yet unfamiliar handsome face.

His face had a mischievous smile.

“Zhou… Junior Brother Zhou?”

Mu Ling’Er’s eyes widened, she couldn’t believe her eyes.

“What? Senior Sister Ling’Er doesn’t recognize me so quickly?”

Zhou Chen smiled slightly.

Earlier, he hadn’t led Song Kui too far away before finishing him off in a single move.

Then Zhou Chen collected Song Kui’s treasured blade and storage bag, and with a reverse flick of the Red Divine Flame, he obliterated the evidence, scattering even the ashes!

The entire process took less than ten breaths.

Therefore.

Zhou Chen easily caught up with the heavily injured, unable-to-run Mu Ling’Er.

“Junior Brother Zhou, it really is you!”

Mu Ling’Er was both surprised and delighted:

“What about Song Kui?”

“Just moments ago, Celestial Sword Sect’s Sword Hero passed by and scared Song Kui away!”

Zhou Chen tossed the blame.

“So it was her.”

Mu Ling’Er nodded. As the top disciple of the Celestial Sword Sect and second on the Celestial Pride List, Sword Hero was more formidable than Li Changhen and Shi Qingxuan.

Although Song Kui was quite capable, the gap between him and Sword Hero was significant.

It was perfectly normal for him to be frightened away.

“Junior Brother Zhou, it’s so good that you’re safe!”

Mu Ling’Er’s tense mind relaxed, and she suddenly threw herself into Zhou Chen’s embrace.

Zhou Chen felt as if Mount Tai was pressing down on him, unable to see the light of day.

The light fragrance of the maiden mixed with the fresh scent of herbs invaded his nostrils, and Zhou Chen couldn’t help but take a deep breath, supporting Mu Ling’Er’s shapely buttocks with one hand and lifting her chin with the other, capturing those red lips with his.

“Mmm…”

Mu Ling’Er’s body trembled, her eyes widened, not expecting Zhou Chen to…

Her first kiss was gone!

Zhou Chen was always powerless against beauties, especially one like Mu Ling’Er.

Zhou Chen took another step forward.

Just about to.

“No…”

Mu Ling’Er came to her senses, suddenly pushing Zhou Chen away.

She lowered her head, her face shy, her jade-like skin showing a hint of pink, extremely vivid.

“Senior Sister Ling’Er, I’m sorry, you were just too beautiful, I couldn’t resist, it was unintentional…”

Zhou Chen hurriedly apologized.

“N-no problem, I don’t blame you…”

Mu Ling’Er adjusted her skirt that Zhou Chen had messed up, her shy voice faint as a mosquito’s hum.

Her cheeks were flushed, so hot she dared not look Zhou Chen in the eye.

Zhou Chen smiled inwardly, Senior Sister Ling’Er was truly innocent.

In fact, Zhou Chen didn’t know that Mu Ling’Er had misunderstood him as risking his life to save hers, which made her feel good about him.

Otherwise, with Mu Ling’Er’s previous opinion of Zhou Chen, if he dared to lay a finger on her, she would have slapped him across the face long ago.

“Senior Sister Ling’Er, earlier I checked your body, and you have seven fractured ribs. I happen to know some bone-setting techniques, how about I help you set the bones?”

Zhou Chen knew that haste makes waste, and decisively changed the topic.

“Hmm, then I’ll trouble Junior Brother Zhou!”

Mu Ling’Er still hung her head, almost burying it in her ample bosom.

She knew bone-setting involved contact.

But she surprisingly didn’t refuse.

Zhou Chen helped Mu Ling’Er sit with her back against a big tree, speaking softly:

“Senior Sister Ling’Er, I’m starting now!”

“Mm.”

Mu Ling’Er nodded slightly, emitting a nasal sound.

Zhou Chen reached out and touched Mu Ling’Er’s body, making her tremble, burying her head lower like an ostrich.

The atmosphere was subtle and enchanting.

The temperature in the air seemed to rise.

Zhou Chen didn’t intentionally dawdle, he quickly found the position of each fractured bone, performing the Ruyi Hand technique.

Crack!

A dislocated rib restored to its correct position,

“It doesn’t hurt?”

Mu Ling’Er suddenly realized something strange, Zhou Chen’s hands seemed electric, making her body go numb.

Crack.

The second rib repositioned.

Then.

The third rib.

The fourth rib.

…

Resetting the seven ribs was simple, but healing them required quite some time and effort.

Half an hour later.

Under the power of Zhou Chen’s Thunder Light Ruyi Hand, all seven ribs were healed. Mu Ling’Er only needed a bit of recovery time to be back to her prime.

“Junior Brother Zhou, your martial skill is really amazing!”

Mu Ling’Er, being the master sister of Spirit Medicine Peak, was well-versed in pharmacology, yet Zhou Chen’s massage was more effective than most medicinal pills.

It was absolutely an excellent martial skill created specifically for healing injuries.

“Senior Sister Ling’Er flatters me, it’s just a little trick!”

Zhou Chen waved it off, his fingers still carrying a lingering fragrant sweetness.

“Senior Sister Ling’Er!”

“Senior Brother Zhou!”

A surprised voice rang out from behind, as Fang Wen ran up excitedly.

She had been searching and finally found them.

“Junior Sister Fang!”

Seeing Fang Wen, Mu Ling’Er was filled with joy:

“Junior Sister Fang, it’s so good that you’re safe!”

“Thanks for your concern, Senior Sister Ling’Er. If not for Senior Brother Zhou saving me, I wouldn’t have been able to see you, Senior Sister!”

Fang Wen looked at Zhou Chen with gratitude.

“We’re all peers, helping each other is what we should do!”

Zhou Chen smiled lightly, unconcerned.

Pang Yunlong: So, am I not a peer?

“Senior Sister Ling’Er, Junior Sister Fang, since you’re both fine, I’ll take my leave, be careful on your own!”

Zhou Chen cupped his hands to both of them and departed elegantly, waving his sleeves without taking even a trace of cloud away.

“Zhou…”

Mu Ling’Er opened her mouth, but Zhou Chen had already gone away into the distance.

Zhou Chen knew that with Fang Wen there, it was impossible for him to have any progress with Mu Ling’Er for the time being, so it was better to part ways.

Moreover, he still needed to find the ultimate martial art.

Thinking of the Sword Hero, Zhou Chen felt eager and restless inside.

He missed the Sword Hero dearly.

His pace unconsciously quickened.

Along the way.

Zhou Chen noticed many people from the Cyan Cloud Sect, the Celestial Sword Sect, the Court, and other small sects and families…

Zhou Chen ignored them all, passing quietly by.

Unfortunately, he didn’t see anyone he knew.

Like the Wei Monarch, Deng Yiqiang…

Zhou Chen moved swiftly, only pausing briefly to collect spirit elixirs and other treasures along the way.

After spending most of the day, Zhou Chen finally arrived at his destination.

He swept his Foundation Establishment Realm divine sense and immediately found the Sword Hero.

The Sword Hero was sitting cross-legged in front of a stone door underground, seemingly contemplating something.

“The Celestial Cloud Secret Realm is said to be formed from fragments of a collapsed ancient sect’s Cave Heaven Blessed Land, containing inheritance and other treasures…”

In Zhou Chen’s mind flashed information related to the Celestial Cloud Secret Realm, clearly a relic buried underground.

Zhou Chen jumped down into the pit dug by Sword Hero.

“Who?”

The Sword Hero instantly drew her sword and stood, the air filled with a chilling murderous intent.

“It’s me!”

Zhou Chen approached with a smile, and Sword Hero sheathed her frosty sword, pointing at the stone door, and said:

“There is an ancient sword technique left here by a powerful cultivator. Only by learning this technique can the stone door be opened!”

Zhou Chen looked over to see a sword mark. As his gaze touched the mark, Zhou Chen’s body trembled, as if seeing a sword light slashing towards him.

“Hiss!”

Zhou Chen couldn’t help but take a step back, inhaling sharply.

This sword mark has been here for unknown years.

Yet it still holds such power.

How strong must the cultivator who left this mark have been?

“How long do you estimate it will take to learn it?”

Zhou Chen looked at the Sword Hero.

“Ten days.”

The Sword Hero’s voice was calm, devoid of any emotion, as if stating a fact.

[Heaven-Supporting Sword First Technique (0/10000)]

Zhou Chen glanced at the panel and felt a stirring in his heart, saying, “I can master it within five days, but I’ll need your help!”

The Sword Hero looked at Zhou Chen in disbelief. If it were any other martial arts, perhaps, but she was naturally gifted with a sword bone, specializing in sword-centric martial arts.

Previously, under the Yin Yang Forget River Flower, her sword bone had transformed and advanced to the Yin Yang Sword Bone.

Her talent in the Sword Dao was considered top-notch in all of Great Qian.

If she needed ten days to learn it, could Zhou Chen really learn it in just five days?

“What do you want me to do?”

The Sword Hero did not immediately refuse. She still had some trust in Zhou Chen.

After all, he was her first and only man.

Previously, they had spent seven beautiful days together.

As close as glue, as entwined as lovers.

“You don’t need to do anything, I can handle it!”

Zhou Chen walked up to the Sword Hero, inhaling the familiar fragrance from the woman, and suddenly wrapped his arms around her slender waist, pulling her into his embrace.

“Let go!”

The Sword Hero spoke coldly.

She didn’t expect Zhou Chen to still be thinking about such matters now.

“Do you think I would deceive you about this?”

Zhou Chen tightened his grip, looking down into the Sword Hero’s eyes: “This is an exceptional martial art, though not comparable to you, how could I not want it?”

“If I haven’t learned it in five days, you can kill me!”

Zhou Chen’s voice was firm, full of confidence.

The Sword Hero remained silent.

She certainly wanted to enter sooner, as there might be barriers waiting for her inside.

The Secret Realm was only open for one month.

More than half that time had already passed.

Only fourteen days remained.

“Trust me, what benefit would I gain from deceiving you?”

After saying this, Zhou Chen lowered his head to kiss the Sword Hero’s alluring red lips.

The Sword Hero raised her hand, paused in the air, and ultimately didn’t push Zhou Chen away but instead wrapped her arms around his back.

Two thick quilts fell to the ground.

Zhou Chen hugged the Sword Hero and collapsed.

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, five days passed.

Zhou Chen looked at the increased 150,000 Wind and Moon Points, his mood brightened.

The Sword Hero was always concerned about the ultimate martial art, yet during these five days, Zhou Chen never even looked at the sword technique on the stone door.

Every day, he either teased her or found new ways to tease her.

She almost wanted to cut Zhou Chen with her sword.

But she held back.

For these five days, she neither urged nor reminded Zhou Chen about anything, and no matter what Zhou Chen wanted to do, she cooperated fully.

Zhou Chen was at ease.

While the Sword Hero was quite disgruntled.

“Don’t worry, I’ve already comprehended it!”

Looking at the Sword Hero in his arms, Zhou Chen gently wiped away the tear stains from the corner of her eye and gave a radiant smile.

“Comprehended!?”

The Sword Hero’s heart trembled, her eyes filled with disbelief.

She was all too clear about what Zhou Chen had been doing these past few days.

Had he really comprehended it?

Impossible.

“Add points!”

Zhou Chen silently chanted in his heart, consuming 10,000 Wind and Moon Points, seeming as if he had understood and practiced the sword technique for two and a half years, achieving sudden enlightenment.

Zhou Chen rose abruptly and drew his sword, slashing forward.

Heaven-Supporting Sword, First Technique.

The sword light was like water, pouring into the stone door, which seemed to carry a special array. The stone door shook violently, dust flying.

Crack!

A heavy, grating sound slowly emerged as the Sword Hero stood up from the ground, ignoring her disheveled state, looking shocked and dazed:

“You really mastered it!!!”
