The Birth of Sword God-Chapter 33 - 32: The Person Who Wasn’t Supposed to Appear
The long-legged neighbor next door, indeed, is cultivating.
Just having completed one Circulation, Han Shuangjiang heard the heart-wrenching screams from Chu Huaixu next door again.
Breaking through three acupoints in a row, the pain compounded.
If the first breakthrough’s pain was like being run over by a motorcycle, and the second was like a manned motorcycle, then this time leveling up three at once was almost like a taxi.
Han Shuangjiang was immediately startled, knowing it’s due to the cultivation technique, but still couldn’t help stepping outside the bamboo house to show some concern.
When she reached the door, she hesitated a bit.
Several seconds later, perhaps hearing her footsteps outside, a hoarse and weak voice came from inside Chu Huaixu’s room.
"I-I’m fine... Hoo—, it’s just a breakthrough of the cultivation technique..."
He wasn’t even wearing his outer robe, sweating profusely, nearly cultivating naked on the meditation mat.
Chu Huaixu’s build was of the lean and toned type, appearing thin in clothes but muscular underneath, without overly large muscles.
Now his body was covered in sweat, making the muscle lines even more pronounced in the light.
He found that after cultivating the "Refining Sword Formulas," his body’s power kept increasing, really like body refining.
But it seemed he wasn’t developing oversized bulky muscles, just stronger muscles.
"Good, as long as you’re okay." A girl’s voice came from outside, her tone still cold, not quite showing concern.
Yet, for someone so young to possess the voice of a mature woman was quite mysterious.
Han Shuangjiang returned to her room to continue cultivating.
She didn’t expect Chu Huaixu to have broken through so quickly again.
"Has he already opened the third acupoint?"
"I have to work twice as hard too, I don’t want to be left behind," she thought.
Listening to Han Shuangjiang’s departing footsteps, Chu Huaixu then lay down on the ground, loudly gasping.
He had been putting on a brave face earlier, thinking she couldn’t hear him now.
Even though he had mentally prepared before upgrading, he still blacked out for a moment, nearly fainting.
"Instead of leveling up one by one and enduring pain three times, it’s better to endure it all in one go. Long pain is worse than short pain," Chu Huaixu thought, almost resigning himself to his fate.
The result was that he was still convulsing unconsciously.
His body twitched for a while before gradually adapting to the new state.
Chu Huaixu stood up and performed the first move of the "Gibberish Eight Trigrams Palm."
Inside the room came a series of strong palm winds, much more robust and domineering than before!
"Strong!" he exclaimed in amazement.
The "Refining Sword Formulas," though resembling evil skills with a deadly cultivation process, was highly effective in cultivating both internal and external strength, making him somewhat invincible at the Acupoint Opening Stage.
"This situation really suits my seemingly overpowered body control," Chu Huaixu thought. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
At this moment, he suddenly felt very regretful.
"If I were this powerful in the dungeon, how great that would be."
"The sound of Liu Chengqi’s rib snapping was quite pleasant," he reminisced.
With this thought, Chu Huaixu suddenly recalled: "Hasn’t Han Shuangjiang fully mastered the ’Eight Desolates Roaming Dragon’?"
"I’ll find time to personally teach her."
He opened his "Character Panel" and checked his remaining Experience Points.
The remaining 136 points of freely allocable Experience Points were far from enough for him to open the sixth acupoint.
...
...
At night, Chu Huaixu finally tasted the meal prepared personally by Han Shuangjiang.
"It tastes very good." He praised.
Thinking it might sound like mere politeness, he went on to compliment each dish in detail.
"This way, her enthusiasm for cooking should be higher." A man with amazing culinary skills planned to remain incognito and steadfastly refused to wash dishes.
Han Shuangjiang slightly nodded on the surface, but after being recognized, she couldn’t help but feel a little pleased inside.
After dinner, Chu Huaixu left without cleaning up.
The cold-faced housekeeper seemingly had no emotions, quietly tidying up his dishes.
It wasn’t quite living together, but more like sharing a rented space.
Chu Huaixu watched her tidy up the table, and when Han Shuangjiang bent over, her curvaceous and full hips made her clothes bulge, revealing her broad hips and rounded form.
Especially with those long, straight legs, wearing a cheongsam or a maternal skirt would be a splendid sight.
But he wasn’t distracted, instead, he aimed an "Information Detection" towards her rear.
"The third acupoint is already opened?" Chu Huaixu gritted his teeth in envy.
He estimated that not only was Han Shuangjiang’s "Spiritual Embryo Attribute" maxed, but her "comprehension" might be very high too.
If the normal human body didn’t need some time to adapt after opening acupoints, her realm breakthrough could be even faster!
The world protagonist, how terrifying.
After several ups and downs, both were tired that day and went to bed early.
The next day, as dawn broke.
Han Shuangjiang got up early, began cooking porridge, always busy.
After breakfast, Chu Huaixu volunteered to teach her "Eight Desolates Roaming Dragon."
He wouldn’t be as lewd as Liu Chengqi, directly teaching hands-on.
"This area does need to sink down a bit," he pointed to Han Shuangjiang’s slender waist.
Although Chu Huaixu’s fingers were still some distance away, the girl felt a ticklish and warm sensation on her waist.
Perhaps because they were standing quite close.
"Come, I’ll demonstrate once more," Chu Huaixu said, beginning to strike out.
The "Gibberish Eight Trigrams Palm" didn’t need to be learned in full.
After all, it was just for breaking the array in the Library Pavilion and wouldn’t be used in actual combat much.
Once reaching the First Realm, real "techniques" were to be learned, and Mortal Martial Arts was too trivial, not worth too much time, since the First Realm would be reached soon.
Han Shuangjiang’s comprehension was indeed high.
Chu Huaixu taught her a few times, correcting her movements, and she mastered it completely.
Also, her palm strikes looked quite beautiful.
He began to understand why online, girls performing self-defense techniques were jokingly called thrilling punches by netizens.
At this time, an uninvited group arrived at the bamboo house.
The leader was Liu Tianfeng, whose hair was partially white.
Liu Chengqi and Liu Chenggong obediently followed behind him, forcing out flattering smiles.
Behind them were a group of servants, each carrying gift boxes.
These things could’ve been kept in Storage Rings, but for gifting, it looked better displayed this way.
Han Shuangjiang couldn’t help looking at Chu Huaixu, realizing he was right.
Steward Liu already thought it through: since they believed in their background, they needed to build a good relationship.
Apologizing was one thing, offering gifts was another.
"Steward Liu, what brings you here?" Chu Huaixu knowingly asked, not sparing Liu Chengqi a glance.
"Didn’t I mention yesterday that I’d prepare a token gift for my dear nephew today? Naturally, I must follow through." Liu Tianfeng laughed.
But seeing the two today, the elder felt something was different about them.
A sweep with Divine Sense, and Liu Tianfeng was shocked, this time not pretending.
"My dear nephew and this young lady, you have broken through! Congratulations!"
While Han Shuangjiang had opened the third acupoint was one thing.
This Chu Huaixu actually broke through three acupoints overnight!
"How is this possible!"
"Clearly a lower-grade Spiritual Embryo!" Liu Tianfeng’s mind was in turmoil.
All his doubts vanished at this moment.
If he were truly an ordinary registered disciple, the elder would never believe it!
"You, put the things down, put them down carefully." Liu Tianfeng began instructing the servants.
After speaking, he glanced around the two’s bamboo house, saying, "If there’s anything missing, feel free to tell me."
"By the way, does my dear nephew need servants?" Steward Liu started trying to ingratiate himself in every possible way.
Chu Huaixu didn’t have such thoughts; he found more people to be uncomfortable.
He casually glanced at the servants placing gifts and was about to decline.
But quickly, his gaze locked onto a short servant keeping their head down.
This person was estimated to be not even 1.7 meters tall, with rosy lips and white teeth, handsome features.
Not much manliness about him, a typical male with a feminine appearance.
"I want him!" Chu Huaixu suddenly pointed a finger. He was more shocked than anyone to encounter this person.
"How is he here?"
One of the four world protagonists of "Borrowed Sword," Xu Ziqing!
