Chapter 114 Silent Pursuits, Hidden Agendas

Meanwhile, in a wooden room, Qin Chen sat cross-legged, cultivating in the cultivation chamber filled with hundreds of low to mid-grade spiritual stones.

Around him, eight youths of his age lay with bruised bodies. They were the ones who were previously in the room, disturbing his peace, so he had beaten them up.

Meanwhile, Li Yan, observing Qin Chen cultivating, promptly left the room. She strolled around the Wudang Sect, finding comfort in the mountainous surroundings with its clean, fresh air.

She already had a place here since Qin Chen introduced her to Shi Huang. Technically, she would be staying in the Wudang Sect.

While she was walking, many sect students gazed at her, amazed by her beauty. Yet, none dared to approach or introduce themselves, given the recent incident where she injured the son of one of the sect's elders.

Certainly, the elder didn't stay silent and wanted to teach Li Yan a lesson. But Li Yan ended up beating the elder, ensuring he didn't seek revenge.

However, at this moment, she stopped as a young man of Qin Chen's age also halted in front of her.

He didn't look bad, even better than Qin Chen. Yet, his expression remained indifferent. "Move aside," she said nonchalantly.

Unfazed, Long Tian asked in a casual tone, "Where is the sect leader?"

"I don't know," Li Yan replied and proceeded to walk past Long Tian.

Long Tian turned around, raising one of his eyebrows as he observed her retreating figure.

Snow-white hair; it reminded him of Li Yue'er. However, this woman seemed colder and stronger; he could sense it from her aura.

Yet, he refocused on the path ahead, walking to find Shi Huang.

Ling Han didn't accompany Long Tian, choosing to explore the sect's area instead. This was also at Long Tian's command, instructing him to understand the intricacies of the Wudang Sect.

At this time, Long Tian stood, gazing at the mountains. The view was beautiful; the air felt incredibly refreshing even in broad daylight.

Of course, no matter how talented Long Tian was, he couldn't master a technique within a few hours. Even a genius needed at least several days.

Time passed quickly, and the sun had vanished, replaced by the dark night.

Inside a spacious training chamber...

Bang!

A wooden puppet shattered into pieces from Long Tian's long-range wind strike.

He was sweating, but a grin adorned his face. He had just mastered the intermediate-level technique: Wind Strike, allowing him to strike objects from a distance using the assistance of wind.

He was very satisfied. In just four hours, he had mastered 15 Wudang Sect techniques, ranging from low to intermediate level, and even one high-level technique.

All thanks to his incredibly high talent, enabling him to comprehend and learn anything in a short time.

Long Tian looked back, where there was a stack of thin to medium-sized books, totaling more than 50 techniques.

"As long as I have time here, I will learn anything!" he grinned.

With that determination, he continued to practice...

Meanwhile, outside the chamber, on the expansive field, hundreds of individuals clad in black attire stood poised for the imminent battle, representing three factions: the Wudang Sect, Xuantian Academy, and the imperial forces.

Among the assembled, Qin Chen's enthusiasm was unparalleled. Tonight, he would participate solely for the prospect of obtaining Guo Jian's Heartblade. The fact that it was an imperial treasure held no sway over him.

His determination stemmed from his unwavering desire to win Li Yue'er. Even if he had to relinquish the Heartblade to Long Tian, he was willing, knowing it would lead him to her.

Shen Yulan, in her spectral form, felt a bad omen. She could sense Qin Chen's gaze, which felt like obsession and impatience.

But even so, she tried to convince herself that nothing bad would happen.
