Chapter 47 The Realm of Perfection, the Snow Woman Makes Her Appearance

【You did not respond to Wu Changhe.】

【“Hoo... hoo...”】

【You leaned on your knees, panting heavily, sweat pouring down like rain.】

【The price of that saber strike was not small.】

【Even with the protection of the Hiding the Edge technique, your Meridians were not damaged.】

【But the feeling of emptiness from instantly draining a third of your Qi and Blood reserves still made you feel a wave of dizziness.】

【Although the burden on your body was minimized, this was the price of an outburst.】

【Exchanging massive consumption for destructive power that transcends your current stage.】

【As the Surging Waves saber strike was unleashed, the alloy long saber broke in response.】

【A certain restraint within your body finally shattered completely.】

【After your breathing stabilized slightly, you closed your eyes, standing still, immersed in the profound realization of that instant.】

【Wu Changhe, who was not far away, was about to step forward to check on you, but seeing this, he immediately stopped.】

【As a Kaiyuan Realm Expert, he keenly sensed that you were currently in an 'Epiphany' state, which was extremely difficult to enter.】

【This state was rare and sought after; if interrupted, you might never find that feeling again in your lifetime.】

【Wu Changhe silently retreated to the side, even holding his breath, his eyes vigilantly scanning the surroundings to act as your Protector.】

【The Basic Saber Technique, which had long since reached Major Achievement but was always stuck at the final step,】

【finally underwent a qualitative change at this moment.】

【Those once rigid Moves and fixed routines all dissipated at this moment.】

【They transformed into countless clear Qi and Blood circulation trajectories and the most fundamental force transmission diagrams.】

【You understood.】

【This 'Secret Technique: Surging Waves' and the 'Instant Nine-Wave Draw Saber Slash' you practiced in the deep mountains during your winter break,】

【though seemingly similar in principle, were actually worlds apart.】

【The 'Instant Nine-Wave Draw Saber Slash' from winter break, while also an instant burst upon drawing the saber, was 'dead.'】

【It was you forcibly compressing Qi and Blood and force with Hiding the Edge, stuffing it into your Meridians like gunpowder, and then violently detonating it.】

【Although powerful, its wind-up was clumsy, and it caused immense damage to the Meridians, belonging to 'knowing its form but not its Concept.'】

【But this saber strike now was 'alive.'】

【This 'Concept' was not some profound Concept, but the true meaning, the principle.】

【It was you perfectly dissecting and reorganizing the charging principle of Hiding the Edge and the explosive technique of Overlapping Waves,】

【on the level of human anatomy and Meridian circulation.】

【You found the golden route with the least Qi and Blood circulation resistance, the fastest burst speed, and the lowest load.】

【Concept arrives, momentum forms!】

【With a thought, Qi and Blood, Meridians, and muscles instantly adjusted to their optimal state.】

【No need for deliberate charging, no need to adjust breathing.】

【Even a casual flick contained the terrifying force of nine Overlapping Waves.】

【The saber strike was as fast as lightning, the burst as fierce as Surging Waves.】

【This was not just an Epiphany; it was the inevitable result of understanding human structure and physical Laws to the extreme.】

【It was a chemical reaction produced by countless 'dead practice' accumulated data, catalyzed by talent.】

【Basic Saber Technique — Perfection!】

【“So, this is Perfection.”】

【“Returning to simplicity, every Move inherently aligns with the Dao of the saber.”】

【You slowly opened your eyes, the sharp glint within them receding, your aura becoming gentle as jade.】

【You looked at the broken saber fragments on the ground, a sense of clarity rising in your heart.】

【“This step seems simple, but the martial Dao theories and Meridian calculations involved are astonishingly vast.”】

【This is the difference between a Genius and a common person.】

【That spark of insight is something countless people strive for but fail to obtain.】

【“Without the blessing of Blade Dao Genius (Blue), even with Hardworking and Enduring,】

【practicing day and night, it would probably take at least several years of painstaking effort to reach this stage.”】

【“A phenomenal talent in the simulator brings such a huge impact.”】

【“It directly determines the upper limit and quality of a simulation.”】

【“It seems that earning 'destiny points' and exchanging them for higher-level talents will be one of the core paths to becoming stronger in the future.”】

【You squatted down and began to clean up the fragments on the ground.】

【As you tidied up, your mind raced, beginning to review the overall situation of this simulation.】

【“It's now the summer vacation of second year high school.”】

【“There's less than half a year until 'December 13th.'”】

【“The current plan is going smoothly: I've established myself in school, and my strength has reached the Perfection of Ninth Stage of Qi and Blood.”】

【“I even possess a killing Move capable of threatening a Kaiyuan Realm Expert.”】

【“Whether I can thwart the cult's conspiracy directly relates to how many 'destiny points' I can get from this simulation.”】

【“I must ensure nothing goes wrong.”】

【“Variables still exist.”】

【“While Wu Changhe is reliable, he's ultimately just an old man obsessed with martial Dao and selling medicine.”】

【“He's not deep enough in thought and can easily be manipulated.”】

【“And that elusive Principal Liao Xianyu...”】

【You recalled the scene from the last simulation where he and Wu Changhe protected Liu Xiyue.】

【“In that bloody Blood Shadow Life Replacement ritual, what role did he play?”】

【“Was he deceived like Old Wu? Or...”】

【“If even this Principal, a Peak Kaiyuan Realm Expert, is a hidden agent of the Heart-Eroding Cult,”】

【“then my situation will be ten times more dangerous than imagined.”】

【An invisible gloom enveloped your heart.】

【But soon, you let it go.】

【“What's there to fear?”】

【“Although I'm still just a pawn, I have backers now.”】

【“The thunder of Wuyue City has sounded, and official forces have entered the fray.”】

【“Now, behind me stands one of Jiangnan Province's most powerful Investigators — Cold Kite.”】

【“And that Divine Power Realm Grandmaster who can alter Karma — Grandmaster Zhao Zongtian!”】

【A cold smile played on your lips.】

【“A thought severs Karma, eyes observe the Mortal World.”】

【“With that Divine Ability mighty one personally overseeing, even if Principal Liao Xianyu is truly an internal spy, even if he is also in the Soaring Realm,”】

【“he won't be able to stir up any waves in front of a true Divine Ability.”】

【Having composed yourself, you tossed the broken saber fragments into the trash can.】

【In the days that followed, you no longer pursued aggressive Breakthroughs, but instead chose Hiding the Edge.】

【You used Hiding the Edge to deeply conceal your perfected Qi and Blood and astonishing saber momentum within your body.】

【“Outwardly, you still maintained the persona of a 'Qi and Blood Seventh Stage, rapidly improving Genius assistant teacher.'】

【Time flowed by peacefully.】

【Autumn winds rose, leaves turned yellow.】

【The first semester of third year high school arrived as scheduled.】

【November.】

【On this day, a luxurious sedan with a Haicheng City license plate stopped at the entrance of Longnan No. 1 High School.】

【The car door opened, and a slender leg stepped out.】

【It was a young girl, a girl dressed in white with hair like a waterfall.】

【She was like a snow lotus blooming in the cold winter, her beautiful face exuding an icy aloofness that kept people at a thousand miles' distance.】

【The moment she stepped onto campus, the surrounding temperature seemed to drop by several degrees, and a faint frost permeated the air.】

【You stood by the window of the teaching building, watching that familiar yet unfamiliar figure, your eyes calm.】

【The 'Snow Maiden' Liu Xiyue has appeared.】

【The grand play begins.】
