74: Chapter 74: Reaching the Vajra Realm with a single move!

This spear seemed to possess a life of its own.

No, it was more like it had its own consciousness.

It was a true Spirit Weapon, a divine weapon possessing a spear spirit.

He had heard legends of Sword Spirits, but Spear Spirits were exceedingly rare.

Although the silver moon spear was also considered a divine weapon and sharp tool, compared to this kind of sentient artifact, it wasn't on the same level at all.

Even more peculiar was that the phoenix blood spear vibrated continuously in his hand, seemingly extremely unwilling to remain there.

It desperately wished to return to its owner's grasp immediately.

A small Phoenix condensed from a wisp of white mist circled above the spear shaft, staring at him vigilantly.

"What a miraculous item. That person was actually willing to bestow such a treasure upon a Disciple."

Sikong Changfeng couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Of course! I am a Genius! Father, don't you understand your daughter yet? Master loves Geniuses the most!"

Hearing this, Sikong Qianluo placed her hands on her hips proudly, lifting her small head.

Sikong Changfeng smiled and handed the phoenix blood spear back to her.

Strangely, the moment the spear returned to her hand, the strange phenomenon immediately vanished.

"By the way, Qianluo, have Xu Weixiong and Wang Yuyan both joined the Martial Arts School?"

"Mhm, Wang Yuyan arrived first. Later, Xu Weixiong came with another person.

Out of the six who came, two joined the Martial Arts School, and one person whose mind wasn't quite right was taken in by Master and sent to a place called Seven Heroes Town to find an old man who paints and learn the Immortal Cultivation Technique."

"..."

Sikong Changfeng was momentarily speechless.

He had asked casually and heard such outlandish news.

A person with a problematic mind? It must be Ji Wuming!

What is Seven Heroes Town? And what is the background of this painting old man?

His mind was instantly filled with questions.

Seeing her father's reaction, Sikong Qianluo smiled so widely her eyes curved into crescents, looking immensely pleased.

She always felt this was her Master's way of getting rid of that person with the problematic mind.

How could there be people who cultivate Immortality and achieve eternal life in this world?

Sikong Qianluo didn't believe it at all.

"And as for Xu Weixiong, she's merely a nominal Disciple.

My Master truly wants to accept her younger brother. I heard he is still very young, and he reached the Diamond Realm immediately upon his first move!"

Sikong Changfeng was stunned upon hearing this, lowering his head to look at Sikong Qianluo.

"Reaching the Diamond Realm on his first move?"

He swallowed hard.

"How is that possible? Where in the world is there such a person?"

Sikong Changfeng shook his head immediately, his face full of disbelief.

This fact was too bizarre and completely defied common sense.

"If my Master says there is, then there is. And Xu Weixiong herself didn't deny it either."

Crack!

Hearing Sikong Qianluo's words, Sikong Changfeng's heart lurched.

"Xu Weixiong is a successor from the Upper Yin Academy of the Liyang Dynasty, which means her brother is also from the Liyang Dynasty.

How could such a Genius not have fame? Reaching the Diamond Realm on his first move, he should at least be a famous figure throughout the entire Liyang Dynasty!"

He still couldn't accept it.

A Realm that ordinary people couldn't even touch in a lifetime, yet someone reached it at birth.

This was simply absurd.

"It is said to be in Northern Liang. I heard Master mention it a few times. That Xu Weixiong seems to be the daughter of 'The Human Butcher' Xu Xiao, so her brother must also be The Human Butcher's son!"

"Xu Xiao?"

Sikong Changfeng was stunned.

This Xu Weixiong was actually the daughter of that person?

Xu Xiao was a major figure who led armies to kill countless enemies. The title 'The Human Butcher' wasn't self-proclaimed; it was given by his enemies.

"His son? I heard that son of his is a dissolute young Master."

Sikong Changfeng said casually.

"My Master also mentioned it, saying it wasn't that useless second son, but Xu Longxiang, who was raised at home from childhood."

Sikong Changfeng nodded.

This matter could not be verified for the time being.

However, it didn't matter much to him.

Even if Xu Longxiang truly possessed Diamond Realm strength from birth as Qianluo claimed, it had nothing to do with him.

Were there few Geniuses in Snow Moon City?

As he was thinking, his gaze suddenly shifted, and he remembered something.

"By the way, Qianluo, I asked you to come back this time because I need your help with something."

"Daddy, just say it. If I can do it, I absolutely won't refuse!"

Upon hearing that her father had something to entrust her with, Sikong Qianluo's eyes lit up.

She thumped her chest and agreed like a sensible little adult.

"After the Grand Competition, the Ascending Heaven Pavilion will open. Quite a few people will come to challenge it. To avoid being worn down by continuous fighting, the Disciples guarding the pavilion will rotate.

Your father hopes you can guard the fourteenth floor!"

Hearing this, Sikong Qianluo instantly became energized.

"However, you are not allowed to use that Profound Ice Spear Technique. You can only use the Prairie Fire Spear Technique to fight!"

"No problem, I accept this task!"

Sikong Qianluo agreed without hesitation.

"Also, do not use that Cultivation Technique that absorbs other people's Internal Energy easily."

Although the technique seemed fine on the surface, using it felt very much like a Demonic Path method.

Moreover, this method of rapidly increasing strength could easily make people addicted and unable to extricate themselves.

The best course of action was to use it as little as possible.

"I know, Master already told me!"

Sikong Qianluo made a face and ran off with her spear, disappearing in a flash.

Leaving behind a sighing Sikong Changfeng.

"Master again..."

...

In a corner of Snow Moon City, within a quiet courtyard.

Three figures were besieging one person.

After several exchanges, one person retreated.

Su Muyu's expression was calm, but his shock was hard to quell internally.

He knew the strength of those three people very well.

Previously, they had all shown brilliant performances on the Jingwu Platform.

This time, he had asked the three of them to attack him together, and he almost lost the fight.

He raised his hand to stop the three who still wanted to continue attacking, cutting off the incoming Sword Qi and halting the fight.

"Enough, I already understand your strength."

Su Muyu stood with his hands behind his back and spoke slowly.

"Leader!"

The three stopped and called out in unison.

"Stop calling me that. I dare not use that title anymore."

Su Muyu looked at them, his tone tinged with emotion.

These three girls were truly lucky.

"I have already contacted the Great Elder. His meaning is that from today onward, you officially leave the Dark River and regain your freedom.

Although you are still members of the Mu Family and the Su Family, you are now completely severed from the Dark River."

Su Muyu's words stunned the three of them; they froze on the spot, unable to react for a moment.

Once one entered the Dark River, one was a member of the Dark River for life.

How could it be like this now?

"From now on, you are Disciples of that Martial Arts School. That is your only affiliation.

You should understand how rare such an opportunity is!"

A hint of envy appeared in Su Muyu's eyes.

"Lead..." Su Hongxi and Su Ziyi were about to speak, but Su Muyu interrupted them with a raised hand.

"The title 'Leader' need not be mentioned again from now on.

The Great Elder hopes you live better in the Martial Arts School. He has no constraints on you, and the Dark River will completely erase all records concerning you."

"We only hope you can maintain a good relationship with that Martial Arts Master. If you can advance further, that would be the best outcome."

Su Muyu's tone was a bit strange.

He was skilled at killing, but he wasn't very good at giving this kind of encouraging advice.

"Advance further?"

The three women were startled, exchanging glances. A hint of vigilance and hostility instantly appeared in their eyes.

"..."

Su Muyu looked at their reaction, feeling a bit helpless.

"That Martial Arts Master has outstanding character, elegant demeanor, profound knowledge, and extraordinary presence, like an Immortal descending to the mortal world. I believe you won't resist either."

"I certainly won't! I will do my utmost to complete the mission!"

Mu Liangyue puffed out her chest, sweeping her gaze over the Su Sisters with a hint of pride.

The two lowered their heads, but a trace of jealousy flashed in their eyes.

"Alright, you must understand that a true powerhouse will not be easily influenced by outsiders.

You must know where the line is."

"Yes!"

After Su Muyu gave his final instructions, he looked at the three with a slightly complex expression.

"This courtyard will belong to the three of you from now on. I will not return."

With that, his figure seemed to be gently blown away by the wind, and in the blink of an eye, he vanished from the spot.

Mu Liangyue glanced at the Su Sisters and turned back into her own room.

If it were before, being expelled from the Dark River might have made them feel lost and helpless.

After all, having grown up in the Dark River since childhood, the Dark River was their only belonging.

But now, a grown woman must stand on her own.

In the hearts of the three, there was already a new place to belong.

Meanwhile, inside the Martial Arts School.

Under the expectant gazes of Li Hanyi, Wang Yuyan, and Yin Luoxia, Su Rui sighed helplessly, turned around, and walked into the kitchen.

Not long after, several simple home-cooked dishes were brought to the table.

"For my Master to go this far, it's truly unprecedented."

Seeing the women seated at the table, Su Rui spoke.

As soon as he finished speaking, a knock sounded at the door.

Su Rui moved his Divine Thought and knew who the visitor was.

When the door opened, Wanwan stood outside, along with Shi Feixuan, whose complexion was slightly pale.

Xu Weixiong stepped aside and said lightly:

"Master wants you to come in."

"Thank you."

Shi Feixuan nodded in thanks and stepped into the courtyard.

Wanwan followed closely behind.

Upon entering, they saw the women gathered around eating, and both were momentarily stunned.

"What? Did you think we don't eat mortal food?"

Yin Luoxia said with a smile while chewing her food.

"Uh... I came to express my thanks."

Shi Feixuan recovered, her expression slightly constrained.

"It was just a small effort, and besides, it was Master's instruction."

Although Li Hanyi's expression was cold, her movements of picking up food were not slow. Her chopsticks seemed to transform into sword edges, moving as fast as lightning.

"Ximen Chuixue's concept of the Dao of the Sword was inherently incompatible with your path of cultivation. Since he has gone further now, your defeat is normal."

Su Rui's tone was gentle, and he immediately invited the two to sit down.

Shi Feixuan was still hesitant, but Wanwan sat down without courtesy.

Seeing Su Rui get up and enter the kitchen again, AZhu and ABi quickly followed.

Shi Feixuan and Wanwan were momentarily stunned.

In their minds, this Martial Arts Master had always been as unreachable as an Immortal.

Especially after he took out that pile of divine weapons and sharp tools, his status seemed even more noble.

But now, this "Immortal" was personally cooking for his Disciples.
