I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 546: Chapter 366 Enlightenment Tea_1

Xiahou Weihuan reflected on the hardships he had endured to master the technique of Sword Sha.

Although he had accomplished the task of condensing the Five Elements’ vital energy with the help of many students from the Pure Yang Academy, the rest of the body forging process was still entirely up to him.

Originally, he thought as long as he mastered the Primordial Yang Sword Evil, he would be invincible among his peers, leading the academy to victory against the other nine academies and even the Four Daoist Academies, just like his teacher, Nangong Xuanyu.

But who would have thought that Chen Mobai, whom he had never regarded seriously, would have surpassed even Lan Haitian, mastering not only the Qingyang Sword Devil but also the Primordial Yang Sword Evil.

Xiahou Weihuan, who knew full well the difficulty of cultivating Sword Sha, felt a sense of despair for the first time.

Why do such anomalies always appear among the Four Daoist Academies?

Lan Haitian before, and Chen Mobai now!

Could it be that the status quo of the Four Daoist Academies is really unchangeable?

With this profound sense of despair, Xiahou Weihuan collapsed onto the surface of the lake, lost in a trance.

“Senior Xiahou …Senior…”

Suddenly there was a burst of shouting in his ears. Xiahou Weihuan turned his head to see a few students from the Pure Yang Academy. One of them found his severed arms cut off by the Primordial Yang Sword Evil, another held his Wuyang Sword, and someone else was beckoning a student from the Imperial Medical Academy to come over.

“Senior, please admit defeat,” the Chief of Pure Yang Academy spoke with a grieving expression. According to the rules, if Xiahou Weihuan didn’t admit defeat, the medics from the Imperial Medical Academy couldn’t treat him.

If his severed arms weren’t reattached quickly, it could potentially affect the flexibility of his meridians.

“Admit defeat!?”

Xiahou Weihuan muttered to himself. He looked up at Chen Mobai, who was still standing opposite him, finally pulling himself from his despair.

“I don’t want to admit defeat!”

Xiahou Weihuan’s statement somewhat surprised Chen Mobai, who looked up.

“Oh, so you want to continue fighting? After all, we both come from Pure Yang. I won’t pull any fatal moves in an exchange. If you admit defeat, we can consider this matter settled.”

As Chen Mobai spoke, he reached again for the Yellow Skin Gourd at his waist. Hands trembling, a few of the Foundation Establishment True Cultivators from the Pure Yang Academy stepped in front of Xiahou Weihuan, casting him in their shadow.

“Senior Xiahou, if your arms are not treated promptly, there could be lasting repercussions.”

Two students from the Imperial Medical Academy also started offering advice. After all, everyone could see now that Xiahou Weihuan was no match for Chen Mobai. To continue the bout was nothing short of seeking his own humiliation.

“I made a promise that if I lose, I will never wield a sword again in my lifetime. These cut-off arms are perhaps Heaven’s will.”

Xiahou Weihuan glanced at his arms that were severed by Chen Mobai’s Primordial Yang Sword evil, shook his head, and without even looking at his own Wuyang Sword, turned around and left the island in the middle of the lake.

“Senior…”

The Chief of Pure Yang Academy immediately followed with a few others, but Xiahou Weihuan walked even faster and disappeared at the edge of the lake in a blink of an eye.

“Quite a man of character.”

Atop the Repairing Heaven Institute platform, Lou Fengcheng, whose vitality was slowly returning, spoke with a hoarse voice.

“What a pity. With his arms ruined, his chances of achieving Core Formation will likely drop by half. All this anger over a mere match just doesn’t seem worthwhile.”

Tao Mingqing looked in the direction of Xiahou Weihuan’s departure, speaking with incomprehension.

“You and I have no particular attachment to winning or losing, but Xiahou Weihuan is different. His Sword Dao is permeated with a strong faith. It is precisely because of this that he was able to progress by leaps and bounds. If his faith collapses, his path in this life will also come to an end. By upholding his vow, he has retained a glimmer of hope for reaching Core Formation.”

The Guidance Book was most adept at discerning opponents. During the time when Lou Fengcheng was looking for Chen Mobai’s weaknesses, he also had not forgotten to watch those people on the Foundation List who ranked above him. Xiahou Weihuan, who had achieved Sword Sha, was naturally a key observation target.

Although Lou Fengcheng was not confident of defeating Xiahou Weihuan, he had a pretty clear understanding of Xiahou’s Sword Dao.

That’s why, of all the people present, he was the one who understood Xiahou Weihuan the best.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

“Why can’t people see through the illusion of fame?”

After hearing Lou Fengcheng’s explanation, Tao Mingqing was even less able to understand and shook his head in disappointment.

If Xiahou Weihuan had spent a little more time breaking through his realm, ensuring his dominance in the Core Formation and Nascent Soul stages, wouldn’t it have been a better option to settle this grudge later on?

“The final match is coming up. Do you fancy Pei Qingshuang or him?”

Tao Mingqing gestured towards Chen Mobai who had just landed on the Dance Tool Dao Academy platform and asked Lou Fengcheng.

“If it was before, I would definitely back Pei Qingshuang.”

“So you’re saying now it’s the other way around.”

Seated weakly on the platform, Lou Fengcheng glanced at Chen Mobai and slowly nodded.

“The Qing Shuang Sword is a Rank-4 sword, isn’t it?”

Tao Mingqing said incredulously.

“It’s just a hunch.”

“A hunch? I thought you guys at the Repairing Heaven Institute always relied on data, dismissing hunches and intuition as being illusory?”

Lou Fengcheng smiled faintly, then closed his eyes and drifted back into unconsciousness.

…

“Chairman, you seem to have gone a bit overboard.”

Zhuang Jialan noticed the cries from the Repairing Heaven Institute’s side, saw Lou Fengcheng slumped over Tao Mingqing and the two students from the Imperial Medical Academy rushing over with their medical box, and couldn’t help but whisper.
