Chapter 55 - The Garden of "Flowers"

[Morning]

Jean was currently inside the Profound Cultivator Room to train with the heavy sword, and was listening to Jasmine's words.

Jasmine: For the following month, your mission is to get comfortable with the weight of this heavy sword, and be able to control it proficiently! From now on, you may not store it into the Sky Poison Pearl; every time you train with the sword, you must train until you're completely exhausted and unable to get up.

And the moment you stand up, this heavy sword must be in your hand. Even if you are eating, or need to leave this place, you must carry this heavy sword; it must not leave your body for even a moment! You must do this until you are so used to its weight that you won't even feel it, and so comfortable with it that it would feel like your own arm or leg!

Jean: Ok, anything else?

Jasmine: Yes, beside that, you need to comprehend the Heavenly Wolf's Hell God's Tome!

Jean: That sword art that your big brother cultivated?

Jasmine: Correct. Big Brother said, the Heavenly Wolf's Hell God's Tome is the strongest heavy sword Sword Art in this world; cultivating it will allow one to exhibit the superiority and strength of the heavy sword to the greatest extent.

And in this world, only Big Brother and I have seen the Heavenly Wolf's Hell God's Tome. When I watched Big Brother train, I had flipped through it in curiosity. After an entire year, I unintentionally comprehended the art's fundamental stage and Sirius' first sword style.

But because my weapon of choice was the dagger, and the only reason why I had comprehended it was out of my love for Big Brother so there would never be a day when I can put it to use… Now, I will entrust the sword art's fundamental stage and first sword style to you.

The art's fundamental stage covers how to wield a heavy sword, the advantages and disadvantages in using a heavy sword, and the way to maximize the advantages while minimizing the disadvantages.

Only when you're completely at home with the fundamental stage can you say that you are truly able to, and completely wield the heavy sword. After, you will be able to comprehend the first sword style, 'Sky Wolf Slash'.

Even though this is Heavenly Wolf's Hell God's Tome's fundamental sword style, its immense power will definitely exceed your expectations greatly. Who knows, maybe you can even modify it to fit Firearms like your Assault Kebab or a future stronger firearm.

While Jasmine spoke, she raised her finger and pointed at the space between Yun Che's eyebrows, imprinting the Sword Art's fundamental stage and the first sword style of the Heavenly Wolf's Hell God's Tome into his mind.

Jean checked over it on purpose, and was greatly shocked from it, even if it was just the first style and the fundamental stage, it brought over him a sense of tyranny, the one he wanted to have, he got one step closer to possessing Absolute Power.

Jasmine: Big Brother always carried the Heavenly Wolf's Hell God's Tome on him. After Big Brother passed away, the Heavenly Wolf's Hell God's Tome should have also disappeared from the world with Big Brother. You, are perhaps the last inheritor.

Jean: ...Well, that was a bit dramatic…

Jasmine: You are truly the most excited snowflake, aren't you?

Jean: 'The brat can talk back now?'

She spoke with a sarcastic voice, while Jean picked up the sword with a smile and started to train on the Heavenly Wolf's Hell God's Tome.

[7:40]

[12/7/1995]

[K: "Knowledge"]

After using "Knowledge", Jean opened his eyes.

Jean: Alright, I can do this… Sky Wolf Slash!!!

With an explosive roar, a tremendous wave of aura was suddenly released from the Overlord's Colossal Sword. The surrounding space was stirred and the air was forcefully split open.

The instant the heavy sword slashed downwards, the silhouette of a blue wolf with a tyrannical aura jumped from Jean's back to his target.

The heavy sword and the silhouette of the blue wolf slammed onto the ground at the same time and the Profound Room which had a strong profound energy resistance greatly shook. Countless wide cracks spread at an extremely fast pace as large amounts of fragmented rocks scattered into the air.

A thick cloud of dust filled the entire Profound Room in an instant. If not for the protection of the strong profound energy in place, with this one blow, the entire Profound Room would have been shattered into pieces.

Jean got excited and grasped his heavy sword.

Jean: Finally, I have succeeded in executing the Sky Wolf Slash!

Jasmine expected this result, there wasn't a limit for "Knowledge", however, he was pretty near to executing it before today, if there wasn't "Knowledge", maybe he would have needed only 1 month to execute the first stage and completely comprehend the main stage.

Jean always carried the sword on his back every time he needed to go around, attracting others' attention on him, when he sat on something, it would be on his ŀȧp, when he needed to sleep, it would be over him, like a blanket, there wasn't a single moment where he would not let it go, even when he created another Goldscale Dragon Transformation Pellet, taking his level to 5th True Profound Realm.

Every single time, he had to thoroughly exhaust himself to the point where his fingers were not even able to move. At first, he exhausted himself 11 times in a single day. Then after, the number of times decreased. The Overlord's Colossal Sword also became lighter and nimbler in his hands.

The cloud of dust in the Profound Room did not disperse for a long while. Behind the cloud of dust, Jasmine silently looked at Jean's blurry figure with eyes that were already filled with the glint of her tears.

It was for this very moment that she taught Jean the Great Way of the Buddha on impulse, and even taught him the Heavenly Wolf's Hell God's Tome…

But, her reasoning mercilessly told her that the person currently in front of her was not her brother. Her brother would no longer appear ever again.

Jean used the heavy sword to support himself, that strike definitely almost took everything from him, so he used the Great Way of the Buddha to regain his stamina.

Jean: Alright, once I gained back my stamina, I will go out to confront Feng Baiyi…

Jasmine: Hmph, I don't think he is waiting for you out there…

Jean: We will see, ok, I am ready.

Jean picked up the Overlord's Colossal Sword and put it on the Sky Poison Pearl, for the first time, Jean felt as if he didn't had weight, like air, when he made a step forward, he was already at the door, surprising himself.

And when he opened the door, his surprise increased, because there was Lan Xueruo with a big lunch box on her hands.

Jean/Lan Xueruo: Eh?

Jean: Senior Sister Xueruo? *Sniff* What a nice smell, what is it?

Lan Xueruo raised the lunch box in front of his eyes with a wide smile, then she opened it, revealing four exquisite dishes and a soup overflowing with fresh aroma.

Ever since he left the Xiao Clan, he ate whatever he could find in the wild for the first half a year, and ate dry rations that were simply only capable of satisfying his hunger for the second half of the year. He used the "Visionary" to create things from his old world, so he rarely ate delicacies.

Jean: Senior Sister, have you eaten yet?

Lan Xueruo: I've already eaten. Take your time.

Jean: Then I will abuse of your kindness!

After saying those words, he began to wolf down his food. With her chin resting on her two hands, Lan Xueruo silently looked at his childlike behavior, and unconsciously smiled lightly to herself.

In less than half a quarter of an hour, Jean had already cleanly finished his meal with not even a single bit left. She blinked her eyes, and asked with a smile.

Lan Xueruo: Was it delicious?

Jean: Hell yeah!

Lan Xueruo: Un, then that's good.

Jean noticed her expression and asked.

Jean: Senior sister, did you personally make these dishes?

Lan Xueruo: Un. It's good that they suited your taste. But when you're eating, you really look like a little child.

Jean: I literally ate Profound Crap 29/30 every month for almost 1 year, give me a break… Are you sure you don't want to be with me?

Lan Xueruo: Here you go again… If you dare to tease your senior sister again, I'm not going to make you anymore food in the future.

Jean: Oof…

Under Jean's gaze, she took out a set of clean white silk garment from her spatial ring, and placed it in front of Jean.

Lan Xueruo: This is the training uniform I made for you earlier, it should fit well with your body figure. This training uniform underwent special handling; not only does it allow convenient movements, it also has a certain degree of defensive ability against attacks.

Jean unconsciously used "Knowledge" on her for the first time, and was greatly shocked from what he saw…

Lan Xueruo: Huh? What's wrong, Junior Brother Jean?

Jean: Nothing, I was just surprised that you would go that far to make clothes for me…

Lan Xueruo: Hehe, I am just worried for Junior Brother Jean…

Jean: …

Name: Cang Yue

Age: 19

Sex: Female

Status: Healthy

Cultivation Realm: 3rd True Profound Realm.

Special Status: Blue Moon Princess

Opinion: Really friendly, unconsciously has a crush for Host.

There were many more datas, but these were the first he got, before the others came out.

Jean: 'Princess… Is flirting with her this considered as Jackpot or the biggest bullshit I did?'

The answer came right away, he did bigger bullshits, this is Jackpot! He smiled and the thought of having Lan Xueruo as part of his "Flower Garden".

Lan Xueruo: Junior Brother Jean, are you listening?

Jean: Huh? Ah, no…

Lan Xueruo: *Sigh* I wanted to know if you could try it.

Jean: Ah! Right away!

Jean took the clothes while Lan Xueruo turned her back against him, he dressed fast, fixed himself, and finally told her.

Jean: Senior sister, I'm done changing.

Lan Xueruo turned back to face him, and when she saw Jean who changed into the white training uniform, a strange ŀuster suddenly bloomed in her beautiful eyes.

Compared to 2 months ago, Jean was now a little bit taller. When Lan Xueruo was sewing it, she took this point into consideration; hence, the training uniform fit his body completely and there was not even a single feeling of discomfort.

But in these 2 months, it was not only Jean's height that changed. From the reformation of his body brought about by the Great Way of the Buddha, his eyes, skin, aura, and temperament underwent slight changes.

His eyesight were now even more profound. With just a simple glance, it was as if he could see the boundless starry sky. In the midst of the warmth in his smile was an indescribable strange feeling, and his maturing face displayed an abnormal charm…

She had seen countless of handsome men, and her heart had never been moved by any of their looks but when she looked at the current Jean, her vision suddenly blurred, and her heart flopped about erratically.

Jean: 'It seems my current charm works, hehe…'

She hurriedly shifted her gaze slightly to the side, and with a slight fluster, she said.

Lan Xueruo: It fits well, and… and looks really good.

Jean: Hehe, I will wear it until it will be destroyed in a fight, I hope that Senior Sister will have another set ready. But thank you, Senior Sister.

Lan Xueruo: I just hope it will still remain whole, hahaha… Then… How are you going to thank me?

Jean: Hmm… First, close your eyes.

Jean's smile made Lan Xueruo curious, she obediently closed them while waiting for his "Thanks". And suddenly, she felt something wet on her left cheek.

When she opened her eyes, she saw Jean giving her a kiss on her cheek, Jean thought about forcing his way on her lips, but then he remembered that she wasn't experienced on the "Things", so he decided to take a small step at the time.
