Chapter 150: Chapter 140: Where Is Your Sword?

On the arena, Chu Huaixu answered without turning red or his heart skipping a beat.

In fact, this guy who claims to practice Sword and Body Dual Cultivation doesn’t even have a Lifebound Sword, but so what?

I have Sword Intent, I have Sword Heart!

You say I’m not a Sword Cultivator?

Then go ask the Dao Ancestor who always claims to be a Sword Cultivator, whether I count as a Sword Cultivator!

Chu Huaixu’s response was confident, with the mindset of “having a great scholar argue on my behalf.”

I am a Sword Cultivator, practicing the “Dao Scripture,” which is endorsed by the Dao Ancestor!

——How can that not be considered Sword and Body Dual Cultivation?

And his direct reply caused an uproar among the audience.

Everyone started whispering, exchanging knowing glances.

If it weren’t for the presence of an Eighth Realm cultivator, the place might have exploded!

“Chu Huaixu is actually a Sword Cultivator?”

“Sword and Body Dual Cultivation, is this real?”

“So, what exactly is his primary cultivation?”

“It’s strange, I haven’t heard of an unconventional cultivation technique for Sword and Body Dual Cultivation in the first level of our Daoist Sect’s Library Pavilion.”

Although the Daoist Sect has deep foundations, there are only a few Celestial Level and Earth Level Techniques.

Because in the entire Profound Yellow Realm, there aren’t many techniques of this level.

With so many people in the Outer Sect, everyone basically knows these high-tier techniques like the back of their hands.

“But what is this Sword and Body Dual Cultivation about?”

Even Geng Tianhe, among these Sword Sect disciples, had never seen such a technique in the Sword Sect’s Library Pavilion.

Sword Cultivators are proud, devoted to the sword.

Body Refining?

Do we need Body Refining?

We only practice the sword!

If it were the past, upon hearing the words “Sword and Body Dual Cultivation,” their faces would definitely show endless disdain.

“What nonsense!”

“An insult to the Sword Dao!”

But today, Chu Huaixu is indeed too powerful, powerful enough to broaden many people’s horizons, even making Geng Tianhe feel apprehensive!

In the high skies, three Eighth Realm Great Cultivators exchanged glances.

“It really is Sword and Body Dual Cultivation,” Teng Lingyi softly said.

This Master of Cultivation Techniques instantly developed a strong interest in Chu Huaixu’s technique.

Such techniques are rare, and he hadn’t heard of any with such ridiculous strength.

He just felt an itch in his heart, wanting to ask.

But after all, he wasn’t Mei Chuxue, so he maintained his decorum.

“After all, it’s just a junior, not enough to make me curious enough to ask publicly.” Teng Lingyi restrained himself.

At this moment, these three Great Cultivators could almost be certain that Chu Yinyin wasn’t lying.

If it’s really Sword and Body Dual Cultivation, then there might truly be Sword Intent!

“No wonder that day, her expression was so smug,” Situ Cheng’s mind was clear.

It’s like how people in middle age love to compare their children’s academic performance with others.

These sect leaders also love to compare their disciples.

Now, recalling Chu Yinyin’s smug face made him slightly uncomfortable.

Situ Cheng glanced at Geng Tianhe among the crowd, suddenly feeling: “Why are you so unambitious?”

“Usually so proud, when you return today, I must give you a good lecture!”

Similar sentiments also arose in Mei Chuxue and Teng Lingyi.

The three juniors below were completely unaware of what they would face next.

Mei Chuxue looked at the handsome man below, feeling more and more satisfied, thinking: “If only he were a disciple of our Spring and Autumn Mountain, how wonderful that would be.”

In fact, in “Borrowed Sword,” Chu Huaixu had once apprenticed at Spring and Autumn Mountain, knowing very well how many eccentrics reside in that sect.

However, Mei Chuxue had been away from the sect for years for unknown reasons, so he had only seen her twice, and both times were just fleeting glimpses.

This deeply charming Eighth Realm Great Cultivator let her gaze wander to his distinct, slender hands.

Soon, she asked a very crucial question.

“Since it is Sword and Body Dual Cultivation, Chu Huaixu, where is your sword?”

Once the words were out, there was another commotion.

“Yes, where is his sword!”

“How can a Sword Cultivator be without a sword!”

At this point, no one was foolish enough to think that the black robe he wore was his Lifebound Object.

With Junior Brother Chu’s skill level, he would definitely qualify for Hidden Spirit Mountain.

A genius like this would only take a Middle Grade Magic Robe from the mountain?

“His Dao Companion, Junior Sister Han, is holding a Super Grade Spirit Sword.”

“Junior Brother Chu should at least have an Upper Grade Spirit Sword,” everyone thought.

At this moment, everyone was marveling at Chu Huaixu’s strength because he had fought barehanded the entire time.

Chu Huaixu stood at the center of the arena, looking at the full-figured woman in the sky, intentionally showing a troubled expression.

Mei Chuxue chuckled, also realizing that she might have overstepped.

She naturally had a soft spot for handsome men.

“Oh well, you’re still in the midst of the competition, so I won’t ask more and disrupt the rules,” she said.

“But I’ll be watching with interest.”

“I’m very curious about your sword.”

…

…

Below the arena, Han Shuangjiang wore a cold expression, watching Mei Chuxue standing in mid-air, her brows furrowed even tighter.

She had an indescribable feeling, simply not liking the interaction between her and Chu Huaixu.

She even muttered in her heart, “Are you curious about his sword?”

“Elder Mei, do you even know what you’re curious about?”

“His sword is his very body!”

The bond between her and Chu Huaixu was indeed deep.

The two could be said to have grown up together, practically knowing each other inside out.

She was well aware that this dead fox was refining his sword with his body!

He even cultivated a ’Sword Spirit’ inside his body…

Han Shuangjiang was very mindful of Mei Chuxue’s gaze at Chu Huaixu, as it was somewhat different from those in the Joy Sect, yet somewhat similar.

The three Eighth Realm Great Cultivators and several other Great Cultivators did not stay long.

After Chu Huaixu and Ji Sikong stepped off the stage, no one sparred, nor would they remain outside in such rainy weather.

“Junior Brother Chu, if there’s an opportunity, I’d like to spar again.” Ji Sikong said.

“Certainly.” Chu Huaixu agreed.

Defeating this prodigy from the Daoist Sect, Chu Huaixu gained 10,241 experience points, nearly ten times that of Lang Yue!

In other words, a Ji Sikong was about the strength of ten Lang Yues!

“Indeed, it’s more rewarding to fight the strong, weaklings are just tiresome,” he thought to himself, ignoring Lang Yue’s admiring gaze.

The opponent, slightly plump with a bearded chin, was someone Chu Huaixu harbored a bias against.

Back in the bamboo house, he opened his Character Panel.

“After defeating Ji Sikong and the stage reward for the main task, I gained a little over 40,000 experience points.”

“My accumulated experience has reached 120,000!”

This amount of experience was already enough for him to begin learning the Earth Level Technique [Six Out of Seven], with some left over.

But Chu Huaixu thought for a moment and felt that the investment-to-reward ratio was still too low.

Given his current situation, spending these 120,000 experience points elsewhere would lead to greater improvements in overall strength.

“Today, the secret of my Inner and Outer Cultivation has been officially exposed.”

“Why not first upgrade a level, elevate the realm first.”

“Moreover, Xiaoxu’s rapid leveling with pills is about to surpass me again, which I cannot tolerate.”

Chu Huaixu summoned the system and broke through to the Sixth Heaven.

The intense pain spread throughout his body from within, causing his skin to crack open once more.

After a long while, he exhaled a deep breath.

This level of pain no longer had much impact on him.

To make him scream in agony, it would at least require a jump of three levels at once.

Sitting cross-legged on the mat, Chu Huaixu looked at the task system.

“The next phase is from thirty-two to sixteen, and the stage rewards have become more generous.”

“Experience points have increased from 30,000 to 50,000, and there will still be a Profound Level Technique Upgrade Coupon.”

The upgrade coupon in his [Backpack] had yet to be used.

If conditions allowed, he would upgrade [Feixuan] and [Fingertip Thunder] to Level 3 before using the coupon.

“Of course, if something unexpected happens, I could use the coupon for an emergency upgrade,” Chu Huaixu thought.

In the afternoon, he went to the Martial Arts Arena to watch the duel between Big Ice Cube and Xiaoxu.

Han Shuangjiang performed steadily, wielding [Zhegu Heaven] like a Female Sword Immortal descending upon the world, defeating a disciple from Luotian Valley.

During a meal chat today, she mentioned to Chu Huaixu that through recent matches, she had some insights and that the bottleneck of the First Realm Ninth Heaven had loosened a bit over these days.

In just a few days, Big Ice Cube estimated to be a cultivator of First Realm Great Perfection.

But she did not produce anything, simply focusing on cultivation as per Chu Huaixu’s instructions, resulting in no time invested to earn Contribution Points.

Now heavily in debt, she couldn’t afford to exchange for a Second Realm Cultivation Technique.

Thus, she could only hope to achieve a good ranking and earn rewards from the East Continent competition.

As for Xiaoxu, his luck with drawing lots was as bad as ever, facing a person from Spring and Autumn Mountain.

This person resembled a mad dog.

Spring and Autumn Mountain generally follows the path of emotions or certain states of mind, with this person entering Dao through [Anger].

On stage, he acted fiercely, not barking nonsensical gibberish, but maintaining constant rage once his secret technique activated.

This form of berserk style had a degree of ferocity.

Xu Ziqing narrowly won, receiving minor injuries.

When he got off the stage, Chu Huaixu called out, “Xiaoxu.”

“Hey! Senior Brother!”

“How’s the injury?”

“It’s nothing, this slight injury will heal by tomorrow, no medication needed,” Xu Ziqing replied.

Chu Huaixu glanced at the sword box on his back and said, “Given your current situation, the next round may be difficult.”

Xu Ziqing, a pure body refining practitioner, was still only at the First Realm Fifth Heaven, and making it this far was not easy.

“Hmm.” The young man nodded; he didn’t feel that the senior brother underestimated him.

He just spoke truthfully, “Junior Martial Uncle told me to rely on my skills to win another round, treating it as training.”

“Once in the top sixteen, he wants me to use this sword.” Xu Ziqing turned his head to look at the sword box he was carrying.

Hearing this, Chu Huaixu nodded slightly, saying nothing.

“After a thousand years, is this sword finally about to make an appearance outside the area of Hidden Spirit Mountain?”

…
