The Birth of Sword God-Chapter 228 - 198: Han Shuangjiang, First Kiss!

The ruler of the Liu Family has fallen.

The fallen genius of the Liu Family has risen again.

After consuming the Profound Celestial Fetal Breath Pill, Liu Chengqi not only fully recovered from his Spiritual Embryo injuries, but also used its power to digest all the energy of the Acupoint Opening Pill, reaching the Great Perfection of the Acupoint Opening Stage.

As his cousin, Liu Chenggong doesn't know what exactly happened after Chu Huaixu's visit yesterday.

He just feels that his cousin seems like a different person.

No longer indulging in hedonistic excesses every day, he now helps manage Steward Liu's funeral, appearing more mature and restrained.

Yet for reasons unknown, he doesn't see much grief or sorrow in his cousin.

He's like dead water in a dry well, with hardly any ripples.

After the funeral ended, Liu Chengqi went to the Library Pavilion and successfully entered the Celestial Level Area to exchange for a Celestial Level Cultivation Technique of the First Realm.

Due to his already significant reputation in the Outer Sect, many people are talking about this event.

On the surface, almost no one knows how his Spiritual Embryo recovered.

People just know he suddenly turned back into a prodigy of the Outer Sect, and seems to have changed his personality, no longer as insufferable as before.

Some speculate that his arrogance was worn down over this period?

Or perhaps without a backer, he's become more humble?

After a few days of discussion, the matter didn't draw much more attention.

Because the shine of the Profound Yellow Leader of the Outer Sect is too intense.

Under the brilliant moon, even though the stars still twinkle, they can't hope to compete with the moon, only serving as decorations in the night sky.

As time flies, the day of the opening of the first level of the Origin Spirit Realm draws nearer.

The Heir of Prince Rui surprisingly continues to reside in the Daoist Sect, showing no intention of returning.

During this half-month, he brought Lin Zixuan over to visit several times.

Once, after gaining some insight, he specifically came to spar with Chu Huaixu.

In the end, the opponent allowed him to use the Emperor's Divine Thought without repelling him, letting him fight with only Minor Success of Spear Intent.

But ultimately, Young Master was still pressed to the ground by Chu Huaixu, realizing once again the terrifying gap between himself and the Leaders of the Western Continent and Profound Yellow.

Qin Xuexiao can't fathom why someone in the First Realm could be so strong!

He's somewhat incredulous.

Anyway, he doesn't get to enter the Origin Spirit Realm, so he stops suppressing his realm and breaks through to the Second Realm.

Then, he finds an excuse to spar with Chu Huaixu again.

The result remains unchanged, though he can last a bit longer in the hands of the Profound Yellow Leader.

Previously, Qin Xuexiao thought, "If we fought in the Moon Country, I might not lose."

Because, as part of the Moon Country Royal Family, he bears the dynasty's fortune.

As long as he's within the Moon Country, his overall strength can still enhance by about ten percent.

Besides, the Emperor's Divine Thought would become stronger under the influence of the dynasty's fortune!

Combining the two, he could increase his combat power by around twenty percent.

Yet to this day, he's a bit unsure: "Did Chu Huaixu use his full strength in these two encounters with me?"

He's never heard of anyone over the millennia in the world achieving such strength in the First Realm!

Generally, there's a term we use to describe such people—astounding past and present!

...

...

Outside the bamboo house, Chu Huaixu watched Qin Xuexiao and Lin Zixuan leave.

"Is this pampered Heir of Prince Rui having some McDonald's traits, being so punchable?" He found it somewhat baffling.

He can't understand why someone would come to get beaten every so often, for what purpose?

"Could this kid be inherently unwilling to accept it?"

"Does he really not understand his own limits?"

"Isn't that rather odd..." Chu Huaixu thought. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Unfortunately, Xiaoxu isn't at home.

Otherwise, if someone wants to challenge me, they'd first need to beat my little brother, wouldn't they?

Han Shuangjiang is his Daoist companion, and he can't bear to let the Big Ice Cube guard the door, upon reflection, Xiaoxu seems the most suitable.

Yet nearly a month has passed in a blink of an eye, and Xiaoxu hasn't come home even once.

Making Chu Huaixu used to doing his own laundry now.

"If it weren't for disliking an extra servant at home, it might feel right to find myself a Sword Attendant."

"Optimizing Xiaoxu's functions further!" He thought fiercely.

Tomorrow, he will set off down the mountain, heading for the Origin Spirit Realm.

Unexpectedly, just before sunset, Xu Ziqing returned home, but without carrying that large Sword Box.

"Hmm? Why have you returned?" Chu Huaixu was a bit surprised.

"Senior Brother, I heard from Junior Martial Uncle that you're going down the mountain tomorrow, so I applied and was specially granted permission to return home today," Xiaoxu explained.

Chu Huaixu thought: Tsk, what's all this! Isn't this the kind of prelude you see in various stories where someone is about to suffer a tragedy?

He looked at the young man and asked, "Xiaoxu, where's your Bronze Sword?"

"I left it at Junzi Temple; Junior Martial Uncle doesn't allow me to carry it around usually," the delicate-looking young man answered truthfully.

"Oh, got it," Chu Huaixu said casually.

He was initially thinking about how now that the Heart Sword can briefly leave the body and enter other Spirit Swords, should he try it with the Bronze Sword?

But he reconsidered and thought it might be too risky.

"Overall, although the Heart Sword has a high position, it's still growing, and it seems I'm dragging it back as its owner..."

"The Sword Spirit of the Bronze Sword is different; it's just sealed by restrictions, but its power remains intact."
