Chapter 27 - Run If He Couldn't Win

Chapter 27 Run If He Couldn’t Win

He had comprehended sword intent?

Didn’t he just get the sun-set sword technique yesterday?

Qiao’er’s mind was completely blank. She pinched her face, and only after feeling the pain did she gradually believe that it was true. Then, she asked Zhou Yun directly.

“Brother Zhou Yun, didn’t you just get that sword technique yesterday? How are you able to comprehend sword intent in a day?”

Hearing Qiao’er’s words, Su Wanyi opened her mouth slightly. Her eyes widened, and her face was full of disbelief.

He had comprehended sword intent in one day?

How was that possible?

Many people could not comprehend it even after five to ten years, but Zhou Yun comprehended it in one day.

Su Wanyi suddenly thought of something.

“No way! Even if you’ve reached the elementary stage of sword intent, with your eighth-layer Qi cultivation and sword intent, you should still be weaker than Qin Xiu, right?”

Qiao’er finally reacted. “That’s right, Brother Zhou Yun. What’s going on?”

Zhou Yun looked at the two’s puzzled faces and smiled faintly.

“I’ve already achieved the great stage of sword intent!”

“What?” The two girls exclaimed at the same time.

“Great stage of sword intent?”

“Brother Zhou Yun!”

Upon hearing Zhou Yun’s words, the two girls ‘eyes widened once again. Their small mouths were already opened to the maximum, but they still did not believe it. At this time, the shock on their faces could not be concealed, as if they had seen the most unbelievable thing in the world.

It was proud enough for an ordinary person to comprehend the moderate stage of sword intent once. This was because many people might not even be able to comprehend it once in their entire lives. However, Zhou Yun managed to achieve the great stage of sword intent in just one day. This proved that he had comprehended it at least two or three times in one day.

Was this something that an ordinary person could do?

The two of them stood there in a daze for a long time before they gradually recovered.

“Is that your real power, Zhou Yun?” Su Wanyi looked at Zhou Yun with a complicated expression.

“When we first met that day, you brought us a huge surprise and even got promoted to a glory disciple. Now, your strength is also advancing by leaps and bounds. Zhou Yun, you are truly a rare genius in our sect!”

The shock on their faces had already disappeared, but their hearts were still beating wildly because this was too shocking.

But then they thought that such shocking things always happened to Zhou Yun.

When they thought of this, they gradually felt relieved.

Qiao’er also threw herself into Zhou Yun’s arms in excitement. “Ha ha, Brother Zhou Yun, you’re amazing!”

Feeling the softness on his arm, Zhou Yun could not help but rub his forehead. He knew that the person in his arms was Qiao’er.

Zhou Yun felt helpless.

Now, Qiao’er would throw herself into his arms from time to time, and she was getting more and more familiar with it.

Most importantly, there was nothing he could do. Qiao’er was currently at the middle stage of the foundation establishment, and he was completely unable to defeat her.

“Qiao’er, hurry up and come down. Your Senior Sister is here!”

Zhou Yun felt as if his body had been locked and he could not move at all. He could only helplessly ask Qiao’er to let him go.

After Qiao’er got down from Zhou Yunyun, she suddenly remembered something and looked at Su Wanyi.

“By the way, Senior Sister, can you tell Brother Zhou Yun about the inner sect trial?”

Qiao’er was a little worried about Zhou Yun when she thought about how he would be participating in the inner sect trial in three months. Therefore, she wanted Su Wanyi to retell the details of the trial. After all, among the three of them, the eldest Senior Sister was the most familiar with the inner sect trial.

Su Wanyi nodded and looked at Zhou Yun. “Junior Brother Zhou Yun, are you at the eighth layer of the Qi cultivation?”

“That’s right!”

After getting an affirmative answer, Su Wanyi continued. “If you can, you should try your best to break through to the ninth layer of the Qi cultivation. Otherwise, your strength is still not enough. This is a rare opportunity, you must grab it!”

Even with the addition of sword intent, the strength of a Qi cultivation of the eighth layer was still somewhat insufficient. This was because most of the disciples participating in the inner sect trial this time were at the foundation establishment stage. There were very few who were even at the ninth layer of Qi cultivation.

The Qi cultivation stage and the foundation establishment stage were two totally different stages. The gap between the ninth layer of the Qi cultivation stage and the first layer of the foundation establishment stage was really huge.

Zhou Yun’s current strength was still not enough.

Zhou Yun nodded. He understood all of this. Qiao’er had already told him about it yesterday. There were still three months before the inner sect trial. He definitely had to cultivate to the ninth layer first.

However, he then learned a shocking piece of news from Su Wanyi.

The ninth layer of Qi cultivation was related to the secret of breaking through to higher stages in the future. And it was also far beyond the other cultivators of the same layer!

“I didn’t expect that it would be so important to reach the ninth layer of the Qi cultivation. It seems that I need to focus more on this trial!”

After Zhou Yun heard Su Wanyi’s introduction, he made up his mind to break through to the ninth layer before the inner sect trial. Only by entering the trial with the strength of the ninth layer would he be able to explore the secret of breaking through to a higher stage.

Su Wanyi secretly nodded and looked at Zhou Yun’s eyes.

“Zhou Yun, I have to remind you that you must be careful after you enter the inner sect trial. You must also be careful of others!”

Zhou Yun was puzzled. Why should he be careful of the others?

“Senior Sister, why should we be careful of others?”

Su Wanyi pursed her lips.

“Originally, everyone who participated in the inner disciple trial would only participate after they had enough strength to become an inner sect disciple. But now, because of your identity as a glory disciple, you can make an exception to participate in the trial. Naturally, the others are unhappy about it.”

Zhou Yun nodded. These inner sect disciples would not believe that he would rely on his own strength to participate in the trial. They must think it was all because of his identity. That was why they were so hostile to him.

After all, no one would be willing to be inferior to others and let others be superior to them for no reason.

This was especially true for this trial. Almost all of the other inner sect disciples had already broken through to the foundation establishment stage.

Naturally, they did not want to see Zhou Yun, a Qi cultivator of the eighth layer, enter the trial.

At the thought of this, Zhou Yun was speechless. He had only wanted to keep it low. He did not expect things to turn out this way.

After Su Wanyi told Zhou Yun about the inner sect trial, her task was completed. “It’s getting late, we should go back! Let’s go, Qiao’er.”

Qiao’er had been smiling but her expression immediately changed after hearing Su Wanyi’s words.

“Senior Sister, let’s stay a little bit longer.”

Su Wanyi looked helpless. “But we’ve finished talking. We should go back and cultivate!”

After Zhou Yun and Su Wanyi’s combined persuasion, Qiao’er finally gave in and followed Su Wanyi out of Zhou Yun’s cave.

“Brother Zhou Yun, you must remember to miss me!”

After sending the two girls off, Zhou Yun once again began to cultivate. The most important thing now was to raise his stage.

As for the fact that the inner sect disciples were unhappy with him, Zhou Yun laughed nonchalantly. He could just run if he couldn’t win.
