16: Chapter 16 Comprehension 429

"No, the matter of entering the Qi Sea Realm within a month cannot be done openly for now."

He had to kill Fang Jiming first; otherwise, that guy might not give him this opportunity!

"Wait until Brother Yu has thought things through and sees some matters more clearly; you can come to find us again. The doors of the Fengxiang Association will always be open for Brother Yu." Luo Heyu and Song Yuan did not try to persuade him further, simply exchanging a smile before leaving.

Yu Xiu naturally didn't care. Perhaps others needed to struggle and crawl in the Inner Courtyard for many years before finally managing to step into the Main Sect, but he did not.

Three years?

In three years, he would likely be nearly invincible in the Main Sect.

Right now, his fellow Disciples in the Inner Courtyard could call him Junior Brother or Brother Yu, but when they met again in three or five years, these fellow Disciples would have to address him as...

Old Ancestor!

"You are Yu Xiu, right!" No sooner had Luo Heyu and Song Yuan left than he saw two young men walking over with cold faces, blocking Yu Xiu's path directly.

'Those who come are not well-intentioned.' Yu Xiu saw it clearly; these two had an attitude completely different from the previous Han Jing and Xie Jing, as well as Luo Heyu and Song Yuan.

"In the future, it's best if you honestly act like a turtle hiding its head in the Inner Courtyard, otherwise, be careful about losing your life." The young man on the left with narrow eyes, who gave off a gloomy feeling, spoke sinisterly. His voice was very low, and his tone was malicious.

'Fang Jiming's dog?' Yu Xiu's expression was calm. "Does Fang Jiming only dare to send people to spout harsh words to scare others? Such inferior methods."

"You should be grateful that this is the Inner Courtyard, which is why you can spout such nonsense here. If we were outside, you would have already died once." The tall young man on the right with bronze-colored skin snorted coldly.

'One is at the fifth level of the Qi Sea Realm; this tall one should be at the seventh level of the Qi Sea Realm.' Yu Xiu silently noted these two down. Later, when he broke through to the Life Spring Realm and crossed the Great Four Passes, neither of these two guys would be allowed to live.

Just at this moment, another person walked over from not far away. Before the person arrived, a scoffing laugh had already arrived first.

"Zhong Yue, Pang Wei, what great airs you have. In the Inner Courtyard, you dare to block a newly arrived Junior Brother and spout threats. If you were outside the courtyard, would you be killing people?"

It could be seen that there was clearly a bit more anger in the eyes of Zhong Yue, who had narrow eyes, and the tall Pang Wei, but they forced it back down.

Because the person who came was Zhao Zheng, an expert at the Peak of the Qi Sea Realm who could step into the Ascending Dragon Fourth Stage Life Spring Realm at any time.

"Zhao Zheng, you want to interfere in Fang Jiming's affairs too?" The tall, bronze-skinned Pang Wei snorted coldly.

Zhao Zheng smiled and said, "I don't care about Fang Jiming's affairs, but I really do have to care about you bullying a newly arrived Junior Brother."

Zhong Yue, with his narrow eyes, said with a cold face, "We were just greeting the newly arrived Junior Brother; how does that count as bullying?"

Zhao Zheng walked unhurriedly to Yu Xiu's side. "Whether it counts as bullying or not, we can ask a Senior Brother from the Law Enforcement Hall to come and discuss it. What do you two think?"

"Hmph!" Zhong Yue and Pang Wei snorted, didn't even glance at Yu Xiu again, and turned to leave.

After the two had gone far away, Zhao Zheng smiled and looked at Yu Xiu. "I am Zhao Zheng. I have long heard that Brother Yu's Aptitude is outstanding. A pleasure to meet you."

Yu Xiu smiled. "Many thanks to Senior Brother for the help."

Zhao Zheng waved his hand. "Fang Jiming's Fengxiang Association has always been at odds with our Feiyan Association. Having the chance to irritate them is also a very interesting matter."

He looked at Yu Xiu. "Of course, if I could have Brother Yu join our Feiyan Association, that would be even better."

"I have just entered the Inner Courtyard; my Cultivation Technique and sword skills are still unfamiliar, and I still need to spend more time stabilizing my Realm. If there is an opportunity in the future, I hope Senior Brother Zhao will not refuse." Yu Xiu politely declined.

Zhao Zheng smiled. "No problem."

After exchanging a few more polite words, he also left.

Yu Xiu did not linger either.

Outside the Internal Affairs Hall, in the woods, in a deserted place.

"Did that Yu Xiu agree?" asked Zhong Yue, who had narrow eyes.

Zhao Zheng said with a cold face, "He did not."

The tall Pang Wei was dissatisfied. "Since you have a request for Fang Jiming, who are you putting on this stinky face for?"

Zhong Yue patted Pang Wei's shoulder. "We are all our own people; there's no need to make things so ugly. As long as we can get that Yu Xiu to walk out of the Inner Courtyard, Brother Zhao's matter can be handled well, and Fang Jiming's obsession can also be let go. It's a win-win for everyone; why not do it?"

Zhao Zheng was silent for a moment. "I will try my best to gain that Yu Xiu's trust, but he has just entered the Inner Courtyard; he certainly won't go out in the short term."

Zhong Yue smiled. "Although his Aptitude is not bad, the Qi Sea Realm and Life Spring Realm are difficult to cultivate. Without guidance and with insufficient resources, his progress will inevitably be so slow that he cannot accept it. He won't be able to hold out for too long; eventually, he will accept a mission and go out."

"Since Brother Zhao helped him today, if he wants to join any faction in the future, it would be impossible for him to ignore the Feiyan Association where Brother Zhao is."

Zhao Zheng nodded gloomily and left not long after.

Zhong Yue and Pang Wei looked at each other and smiled. "This Yu Xiu is not far from death."

"Even if an accident happens here with Zhao Zheng, on the side of Senior Brother Zhao Hong, Senior Sister Xu Rou, and Senior Brother Liu Qingchuan, who entered the Inner Courtyard with Yu Xiu, there are still Fang Jiming's methods."

"Yu Xiu cannot escape from Fang Jiming's palm."

On the other side.

After Yu Xiu returned to his bamboo house, he was also pondering in his heart, 'Was it a coincidence, or was it intentional?'

Fang Jiming's people, Zhong Yue and Pang Wei, came a bit strangely. While still in the Inner Courtyard, they ran over to spout threats. Other than being able to talk big, it actually had no effect.

But coincidentally, Zhao Zheng also came, which is worth pondering.

However, the fact that the Feiyan Association, where Zhao Zheng is, is at odds with the Fengxiang Association, where Fang Jiming is, should be true, because one could find out by simply asking any Inner Courtyard Disciple.

'Zhao Zheng!'

'Fang Jiming!'

'Is it a coincidence, or is it a scheme?'

Yu Xiu thought for a moment and then cast these thoughts aside. Whatever it was, it didn't matter.

Anyway, he would not leave the Inner Courtyard. By the time he needed to leave the Inner Courtyard, he would certainly have already broken through to the Life Spring Realm of the Ascending Dragon Fourth Stage.

At that time, with his strength of the Great Four Passes, no one in the Inner Courtyard would be able to do anything to him.

If they want to scheme against him, they will have to see if their necks can withstand his sword.

He swallowed a drop of Hundred Herb Jade Liquid and began practicing his sword again.

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.

During this half month, it was calm and peaceful. Fang Jiming's people did not come, but from time to time, some Inner Courtyard Disciples came to his door to try to recruit Yu Xiu.

They hoped that Yu Xiu would join their various small circles, but they were all politely declined by Yu Xiu.

[Chi Xing Sword Scripture, 17th Chapter: Perfection (Sword Sense + 10)]

[Chi Xing Sword Scripture, 18th Chapter: Perfection (Sword Sense + 10)]

[Chi Xing Sword Scripture, 19th Chapter: Perfection (Sword Sense + 10)]

[Chi Xing Sword Scripture, 20th Chapter: Perfection (Sword Sense + 10)]

[Seventeen Instant Changes Sword: Perfection (Sword Sense + 10)]

[Realm: Ascending Dragon Third Stage, Qi Sea Realm, 9th level: Perfection (Can break through the Realm)]

[Comprehension Ability: 429]

[Lifespan: 16 / 504]

[Sword Heart: Hidden Edge (4 / 500)]

'429 Comprehension Ability!' Yu Xiu was very satisfied.

He had originally estimated that it would take about twenty days to finish cultivating the remaining fifteen chapters of the sword scripture technique.

However, as his Comprehension Ability got higher and higher, in the end, it only took him fifteen days to cultivate the twenty chapters of the Chi Xing Sword Scripture, and even the Seventeen Instant Changes Sword, a sword technique of the Qi Sea Realm, was cultivated to Perfection.

From entering the Inner Courtyard until now, it had actually only been twenty-five days, not even a month.

And now, Yu Xiu could break through the Ascending Dragon Third Stage Qi Sea Realm and enter the Fourth Stage Life Spring Realm at any time.

'Then, today, I shall enter the Ascending Dragon Fourth Stage and open the Life Spring!'
