9: Chapter 9 Wow~ So that's what Master likes!

Ignoring the large bump on his head, Chen Yan took the Jade Slip from his forehead and gripped it tightly in his palm!

Holy crap!

This is good stuff!

This sword art is Revered Master's famous sword art!

He brought the Jade Slip to his nose and took a light sniff, secretly rejoicing in his heart: "Heh~ It smells like Revered Master!"

"Bang!"

The door to the bamboo hut was slammed shut by Leng Qingshuang. Her pretty face, which had remained calm for a hundred years, was already flushed with crimson.

Even the tips of her ears, peeking out from her hair, were red enough to drip blood!

Hearing Chen Yan's last inner thought, she almost couldn't help but draw her shuanghua sword and rush out to chop this Rebellious Disciple into ribbons.

This scoundrel!

How... how dare he treat her with such disrespect!

This is simply rebellious!

Betraying one's Revered Master and ancestors!

An unforgivable crime!

[Rebellious Disciple behavior detected, Rebellious Disciple points +222!]

Chen Yan grinned, unbothered.

As the System issued the mission rewards, information regarding the Sword Heart Tempering Method instantly flooded into his mind!

[Sword Heart Tempering Method: Use the body as a sheath, the heart as the blade, draw ten thousand jun of Spiritual Qi to transform into formless Sword Qi, and temper the Physical Body like forging a divine weapon!]

Chen Yan: "٩(๑＞◡＜๑)۶~~"

Wow~ This feels so badass!

Now that I have this Sword Heart Tempering Method, plus the Mystic Ice Water-Dividing Sword Art.

The small competition in three months?

Easy peasy!

He leapt up from the ground impatiently, giggling as he ran towards the martial arts arena.

The mountain breeze brushed past, blowing fallen leaves from the trees.

It also blew... Liu Meng, who was still hanging from the tree.

Seeing that he had been forgotten and was still hanging naked from the tree, Liu Meng finally broke down and cried: "Help me~ Let me down! I won't dare to do it again... Wuwuwu~"

"Chen Yan, you bastard! You're not human!"

"I was wrong! I really know I was wrong! I won't come to the Ninth Peak ever again... Wuwuwu~ I want to go home~"

"Swish!"

A streak of sword light flew out from the bamboo hut, sending Liu Meng directly to the foot of the mountain.

As for how Liu Meng, who was left with only his underwear, got back, no one knew...

In the following time, the Ninth Peak became lively.

"Hehe haha!"

Every day, Chen Yan's figure could be seen diligently Cultivating on the martial arts arena.

He looked full of passion and drive.

But the style was just a little bit... eye-searing!

Chen Yan was shirtless, revealing well-defined, muscular lines.

Holding a long sword, he was concentrating on Cultivating the Sword Heart Tempering Method.

He stood on his left leg like a golden rooster, while his right leg was raised high, wrapped around his neck, and hooked onto his left ear.

His upper body was twisted at an incredible angle, yet the long sword in his hand had to remain horizontal without the slightest tremor.

This strange posture looked just like an octopus with cramps.

Sweat constantly slid off his body, dripping onto the bluestone slab and rapidly pooling into a puddle.

Leng Qingshuang had changed into a black Daoist robe today and was sitting cross-legged on a bluestone nearby.

She still maintained her cold and ethereal appearance.

Although she appeared to be resting with her eyes closed, her Divine Sense was actually constantly observing Chen Yan.

"This Rebellious Disciple actually has some Luck!"

Although she felt very confused by Chen Yan's strange Cultivation posture, she could clearly feel that as Chen Yan performed these movements, the Spiritual Qi within his body was circulating at an astonishing speed.

His Meridians were being widened and reinforced, and his Physique was constantly improving and getting stronger!

The Spiritual Qi that should have dissipated within a Qi Refining Realm cultivator was actually slowly gathering into mist through Chen Yan's strange posture!

His whole being even faintly exuded a sharp Sword Intent!

What a miraculous technique!

Leng Qingshuang acknowledged that although she hadn't seen every sword art in the Tianxuan Continent, she had never seen such a bizarre Cultivation Technique!

It was simply unheard of!

This Rebellious Disciple truly had many secrets!

For example, why she could suddenly hear the Rebellious Disciple's inner thoughts for no reason!

Just as Leng Qingshuang was thinking this, Chen Yan's inner voice popped out inopportunely.

At this moment, he was gritting his teeth to maintain that twisted posture.

His muscles were trembling uncontrollably, and the soreness kept hitting him, one wave stronger than the next!

"Damn it..."

"Is this Sword Heart Tempering? This is clearly human origami! Not even a little bit Xuanhuan!"

"For this move, my waist is about to snap!"

"The key is, why does this move require sticking my butt up so high?"

"It's simply off the charts in terms of shame!"

"The direction I'm facing now... Holy crap!"

Chen Yan suddenly realized!

His current posture was facing away from Leng Qingshuang, with his upper body pressed down and his butt stuck high up.

In other words.

His butt was pointing exactly in Revered Master's direction!

"It's over!"

"Why do I feel like Revered Master is staring at me?"

"The movement range just now was a little bit too large, and this pair of pants isn't great quality, could it have split?"

"Holy crap! For the past few days, for the sake of Cultivation, I haven't been wearing underwear!"

"If the pants split, wouldn't I be exposing my butt cheeks directly?"

"Wouldn't my glorious image in Revered Master's heart be completely ruined?"

"Damn! I have an idol burden too!"

Thinking of this, Chen Yan felt his sphincter tighten.

A chill shot straight from his rear to his forehead.

The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt.

He just felt like Revered Master was glaring and staring at his butt.

"Huh? Why hasn't Revered Master scolded me yet?"

"Could it be... she's mesmerized?"

"Hiss~ So Revered Master likes this kind of thing!"

"I didn't expect this! Revered Master, who appears cold and ascetic on the surface, is actually a butt-peeping maniac?"

Leng Qingshuang had originally been using her Divine Sense to sense the circulation path of Chen Yan's Cultivation Technique, trying to comprehend the mysteries of this technique.

Hearing these inner thoughts, she nearly suffered Qi Deviation on the spot!

W-what butt-peeping maniac?

This Rebellious Disciple!

Unbridled speech!

What kind of filth is in his head!

This seat is clearly observing your Qi circulation to help you comprehend the Cultivation Technique!

Who is looking at your butt!

Who would care to look at your butt!

Leng Qingshuang was so angry her chest heaved; her originally calm expression instantly broke.

She suddenly opened her eyes, and angry sparks shot from her beautiful eyes, staring fiercely at Chen Yan's back.

She wished she could use her gaze to poke two holes in his butt!

And just at this moment.

Chen Yan seemed to sense something and suddenly stopped his movements.

He performed an action that Leng Qingshuang would never forget in her life.

He saw him, with lightning speed, reach his right hand back and perform a very standard "look-back grab".

He first felt his own butt, then tugged at the seam of his pants.

After confirming the pants hadn't split, he actually still felt uneasy, unbuckled his belt, lowered his head, and carefully checked inside his crotch!

"Whew..."

"Thank goodness, the pants aren't broken, nothing exposed, scared the heck out of me."

"This fabric quality is actually quite good, I'll go buy two more later."

"Hehe~ Revered Master didn't see, I kept my innocence, awesome!"

[Rebellious Disciple behavior detected, Rebellious Disciple points +555!]

"Pfft!"

Leng Qingshuang couldn't hold it together anymore.

She hurriedly averted her gaze, not daring to look at Chen Yan again.

Her cheeks were frighteningly hot, and her heart was beating wildly and uncontrollably.

This scoundrel!

To actually perform such an action... right in front of her!

It is simply... disgraceful!

Unbearable to look at!

An unforgivable crime!

"Chen Yan!"

Leng Qingshuang forced herself to be calm, but her voice carried a hint of obvious panic and trembling.

"Clear your mind! Continue Cultivating!"

"If you dare to be distracted again, or let your thoughts run wild, I will definitely punish you severely!"
