Cheng Lu was a bit confused, so she walked up and said, "Master …"
However, before Morning Dew could say anything, Grandma Blackbrow had already pushed them away, then walked in the direction of Shi Ling. When Shi Ling saw this, he couldn't help but curse in his heart.
Just as he was about to explain something to Grandma Blackbrow, Grandma Blackbrow swung her walking stick at his face. Shi Ling had an instinctive reaction, and used one of his hands to block in front of him.
In the end, Shi Ling was once again sent flying, and with a loud bang, he crashed into a large tree not too far away, rolling on the ground for a few rounds before finally stopping. Shi Ling felt as if all the bones in his body were about to break, and when he saw Grandma Blackbrow walk over, he hurriedly got up from the ground and shouted at Grandma Blackbrow, "Grandma Blackbrow, are you not afraid of the Spirit Sword Sect's reproach for wantonly beating up disciples in the Spirit Sword Sect?"
Shi Ling wanted to move out of the Spirit Sword Sect and let the other party have some scruples, but Grandma Blackbrow ignored him and swung the walking stick in her hand once before knocking it against Shi Ling's head. Shi Ling couldn't care less now and immediately took out the Mysterious Wood Sword to clash with the other party's walking stick.
Thump. Shi Ling only felt his own hands tremble as an immense force was exerted onto his body, causing him to stagger backwards. Granny Blackbrow still had no intention of letting Shi Ling go.
As soon as Shi Ling raised the black wooden sword in his hand to block it, a light "dong" sound could be heard. Shi Ling felt as if a huge mountain had pressed down on him, and he immediately fell to one knee, spitting out large mouthfuls of blood.
There were no Fa Li fluctuations coming from Grandma Blackbrow's body. It was obvious that the other party was only using physical strength. However, just physical strength alone was enough to completely suppress Shi Ling. One could imagine the gap between Shi Ling and the other party.
At this moment, the eyes of the granny with eyebrows were undoubtedly filled with fury. The cane in her hand increased in strength, seemingly intending to crush Shi Ling to death. Meanwhile, Shi Ling could only desperately resist.
However, right at this moment, a whistling sound could be heard. Grandma Medi narrowed her eyes and looked over, only to see that a cyan colored longsword was shooting towards her with the Sword Qi of the Second Sky.
At this moment, Granny Blackbrow stretched out a hand. When the longsword approached, two fingers clamped down on it. A surge of mana surged out from her body, and Shi Ling was sent flying backwards.
The difference between him and Grandma Blackbrow was just too great. Shi Ling had been completely suppressed, and now that he was blasted away, the pressure he felt had actually lessened. However, he was looking at Granny Blackbrow instead.
He saw that, at an unknown time, Morning Dew had appeared, holding a long sword in her hand and thrusting it towards Granny Blackbrow. In the end, the double-fingered tip of the sword was caught by Grandma Blackbrow, and the two of them were immediately in a confrontation. At this moment, Granny Blackbrow sternly said, "Little Lu, you really are quite capable.
Tears welled up in Chen Lu's eyes, and her hands trembled as she sobbed, "I wouldn't dare, but I hope you won't hurt Shi Ling anymore."
At this moment, Granny Blackbrow turned her head to look in the direction of Shi Ling, and strode towards him. At this moment, Shi Ling's bones were almost shattered, and he was unable to move at all; if the other party were to strike her again, she would truly be finished.
However, at this moment, Morning Dew appeared in front of Shi Ling, blocking his path. Granny Blackbrow's sharp gaze bore into him as she said, "Are you trying to block my way?"
At this time, Cheng Lu kneeled on the ground and started sobbing, "Teacher, I beg of you, this disciple really does not wish for him to be harmed anymore."
Even though Granny Blackbrow's demeanor was calm, she was still not lightly angered at all. Her hand that was holding onto her walking stick was also slightly trembling. She arrived in front of Morning Dew and slapped her face, causing her to cough out blood.
At this moment, Granny Xuan Mei shouted, "Don't forget who brought you to the Spirit Sword Sect and raised you to your current achievements. Are you trying to repay me in this way?"
Chen Lu lowered her head in silence. Grandma Blackbrow shook her head. She looked up at the bright night sky, then looked at Shi Ling, who was slowly getting up. She said, "I should have killed you back then."
When Shi Ling heard this, he frowned and thought to himself, "Did the other party want to kill him long ago?" But he didn't have much contact with her? Why did she want to kill him? Shi Ling's gaze shifted to the sobbing Morning Dew as his thoughts echoed in his head. Not long later, his eyes widened as he looked at Grandma Blackbrow and growled, "Back then, it was you who instigated me to break up with Morning Dew!"
Granny Blackbrow immediately felt displeased. Ignoring the weeping Morning Dew, she walked up to Shi Ling and looked down at him condescendingly. She said, "What qualifications does a lowly servant have to call out to me?"
With great difficulty, Shi Ling stood up. Then, he looked at Granny Blackbrow and said, "Even if I die, I want to die for you."
Upon hearing this, Grandma Blackbrow couldn't help but laugh out loud. She pointed her walking stick to the ground and said, "Alright, then I'll let you die for sure."
As she spoke, she tapped the center of Shi Ling's brows. Suddenly, an image appeared in Shi Ling's mind. It was the image of Granny Blackbrow and Morning Dew in a secret room.
Chen Lu knelt in front of Grandma Medi, who was sitting cross-legged with a calm look on her face. She said to Chen Lu, "Xiao Lu, I hope you understand that Shi Ling is now a janitor and has lost his strength. His entire life is over, there won't be any results if you stay with him."
Chen Lu kowtowed to Grandma Blackbrow and said, "He saved me before, and when I was in greatest need of help, he was the one who accompanied me and protected me. Now that he's in trouble, I can't just watch and do nothing."
However, Grandma Blackbrow sternly said, "You're muddleheaded!"
"In the future, you will have to walk out of the Spirit Sword Sect and compete with the stronger powerhouses of the Nine Prefectures. How can you give up your future for a cripple!"
Chen Lu looked at Grandma Medi with determination, and said, "Disciple has no regrets!"
Grandma Blackbrow was so angry that she stood up and pointed at Morning Dew. Her body was trembling, but in the end, she put it down and said, "If that's the case, I can't keep him here anymore!"
Upon saying that, Morning Dew's eyes suddenly opened wide, saying, "No!"
Grandma Blackbrow had her back to Morning Dew, not saying a word.
At this point, the scene came to an abrupt stop. Shi Ling immediately regained his senses, while Shi Ling's face was filled with shock.
Grandma Blackbrow put a hand behind her back and said, "Do you understand now? [Do you really think you could have survived until today if this girl had not begged me to let you go? At the time, she promised I would never meet you again. "
Saying that, he could not help but let out a snort of laughter. He turned his head to Morning Dew and said, "Do you think I'm old enough to be deceived? You think that just because I was in seclusion, I wouldn't know anything? "
As he sobbed, Shi Ling lowered his head without a word. Although he had already guessed the reason earlier, he would still be unable to accept it when he confirmed it.
At this time, Granny Blackbrow had also stopped dealing with Shi Ling. She came to the side of Morning Dew, brandished her sword, and floated in midair, only to hear Granny Blackbrow say, "Shi Ling, I hope you understand the situation you're in now, you're no longer the young genius you were before. You're now just a servant, a cripple, and even if you recover your strength it's still the same, you can't change anything, whereas Little Lu is different.
At this moment, Chen Lu, who was standing beside her, obediently stood up. After which, she stepped on her longsword, and in the next moment, the longsword soared into the sky as it left this place together with Chen Lu and Grandma Blackbrow. At this moment, Chen Lu could not help but turn her head to take a look at Shi Ling, who was standing at his original spot.
He had always thought that Morning Dew had broken up with him because of his status as a servant, but he didn't know that she had actually left him in order to protect him. It was laughable, all these years he had been angry at her, causing her to feel so much pressure.
Shi Ling immediately sat down on the ground. The Mysterious Wood Sword in his hand fell to the side. At this moment, the sky started to rumble with thunder. Not long after, it started to rain.
Shi Ling didn't mind the rain pouring down on his body. He felt the bone-chilling cold. However, he did not have any reaction as he looked at the blood dripping from his wounds staining the ground red.
Shi Ling just sat there on the ground with no expression on his face. After an unknown amount of time, when the rain stopped and the dark clouds dissipated, revealing a holy moonlight shining on the ground, he raised his head again.
At this moment, the ring in Shi Ling's hand flashed and Bai Xiaosheng flew out. He said to Shi Ling, "Recover your injuries first, and then you can go cultivate with me."
At this moment, Shi Ling nodded his head. He took out a few Star Origin Fruits from his storage ring and threw them into his mouth. Then, he sat down cross-legged on the spot and formed a seal.
Very quickly, the Star Origin Fruit in Shi Ling's body began to take effect. The injuries on his body also began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
However, at this moment, Shi Ling's eyes were wide open. Bai Xiaosheng also turned around and looked at Shi Ling. Shi Ling lowered his head to look at his hands and then at Bai Xiaosheng. He heard Bai Xiaosheng say, "You're about to break through?"
The All Knowing Scholar looked around and said, "I'm afraid it's too late to find another place. Since there aren't many people here, why don't we start breaking through here? I'll guard you."
After which, he clenched his fists and started to refine them. In an instant, the violent surge of Spiritual Aura within the world was attracted over and the sun grade Spiritual Pulse within Shi Ling's body absorbed all the Spiritual Aura that rushed over.
The magic source inside Shi Ling's body exploded as the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth flowed in. Bai Xiaosheng controlled the Mystic Wood Sword to the side and inserted it into the ground. Following which, the suppressive force on the Mystic Wood Sword appeared.
Suddenly, the Dharma Essence within Shi Ling's body started to be compressed. However, as the spiritual Qi flowed in, the Dharma Essence started to expand and compress again.
After more than twenty rounds, the Dharma Essence radiance within Shi Ling's body became increasingly pure, and his mana also became increasingly dense. Yet, he heard Shi Ling's furious roar towards the sky, as an incomparable imposing aura erupted from his body.
"The great circle of the Spirit Accumulation Realm!"
As he looked at Shi Ling, who had just recovered from his injuries, his eyes brimmed with joy. At this moment, Shi Ling stood up from the ground, feeling that his mana was now twice as powerful as before. There was also a look of ecstasy on his face.
Bai Xiaosheng said, "He is still one step away from the Body Tempering stage."
Shi Ling nodded and said, "But I only have the strength of five raging bulls. To be honest, I don't even know if I can reach the strength of seven raging bulls when I advance to the Body Tempering stage."
Bai Xiaosheng laughed, "You're not in a hurry about this. With your current situation, you'll need at least another two months before you can break through again. Within two months, you'll have more than enough time to push your physical strength to the strength of seven raging bulls."
When Shi Ling heard this, he clenched his fists tightly and looked towards the sky where Grandma Blackbrow and Morning Dew had left. He whispered, "Old granny, you don't want me with Morning Dew right now because I can't beat you. When I beat you, I'll see if you still dare to compete blindly in front of me!"
Bai Xiaosheng smiled without a word. "Come, it's time to train. By dawn, you'll have to participate in the competition. Before that, I'll be teaching you a more complete set of cultivation methods."
When Shi Ling heard this, his eyes immediately lit up. He hurriedly followed Bai Xiaosheng and asked, "Really?"
Bai Xiaosheng nodded and said, "I call it 'Yin-Yang Cultivation Method'. Although its effects are not the best, it is at least much better than your current cultivation method."
