After the stunning woman entered the special class classroom, she paused when she saw Luo Qingxue seemingly about to do something. “Did I come at the wrong time?”
“No, you came at just the right time!”
Xu Qiu quickly stood up to greet her. “Big sister, I don’t think I’ve seen you at No. 3 High School before. What are you here for?”
“Big sister…” The beautiful woman’s lips curved slightly upward, and there was a trace of appreciation in her gaze as she looked at Xu Qiu. “My name is Mu Qingkong. I was sent by the Education Bureau. Starting today, I will be your teacher!”
“Mu Qingkong… You’re actually Mu Qingkong?!” Luo Qingxue exclaimed in surprise.
“Oh? You know me?”
“I don’t know you personally, but I’ve heard of you. The youngest gold-medal teacher in the Qingyun City Education Bureau, and one of the few S-grade Martial Soul owners in Qingyun City!”
Xu Qiu was also slightly shocked. Every S-grade Martial Soul owner was no ordinary figure.
“So big sister is that amazing!”
“You keep calling her big sister. I didn’t realize your mouth was this sweet before,” Luo Qingxue said calmly.
Xu Qiu glanced at her and replied, “You make it sound like you’ve tasted it before.”
“You…” Luo Qingxue’s face flushed red. She snorted softly and turned her head away. Since when did Xu Qiu become this shameless?
Thinking about it, he really had seemed like a different person these past two days. Could it be that the breakup hit him too hard?
“Alright, you two. Playtime is over. Let’s get to business,” Mu Qingkong said with a serious expression. “You are both owners of SSS-Grade Martial Souls. The Education Bureau places great importance on you, so they sent me to guide you.”
“Today, I will teach you your first lesson in the Martial Arts World.”
“Meditation and Breathing Techniques!”
“This is the key to advancing into a Martial Artist. Meditation allows you to sense the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, while breathing techniques draw that energy into your body, refining it into Martial Artist spiritual power!”
As she spoke, Mu Qingkong took out a sheepskin scroll from her bag and slowly unfurled it.
On the scroll was a painting of an ancient deity.
It depicted a peerless female sword immortal standing beneath the moonlight, holding a long sword. Her aura was cold and detached, transcendent and ethereal.
“Martial Arts Meditation Diagram!”
Xu Qiu’s eyes flickered.
A Martial Arts Meditation Diagram was a treasure that helped Martial Artists meditate and comprehend spiritual energy. The higher the grade of the diagram, the easier it was to enter a meditative state.
“That’s right. This is one of the most precious Martial Arts Meditation Diagrams in the Qingyun City Education Bureau. It’s called the Moonlit Sword Immortal Diagram. The martial aura contained within it can only truly be felt by seeing it in person!”
“You have half an hour to memorize this diagram. Then begin meditating and sense the spiritual energy,” Mu Qingkong instructed.
The two of them wasted no time and began carefully observing the Moonlit Sword Immortal Diagram.
Half an hour later, after memorizing most of it, they sat cross-legged on the ground and gradually entered a meditative state. Get faster updates on g.com.
Not long after, the principal of No. 3 High School walked over. “Teacher Mu, how is it?”
“I can only say that they truly live up to being SSS-Grade Martial Soul owners. They entered meditation so quickly. Not everyone can memorize the Moonlit Sword Immortal Diagram within half an hour and successfully visualize it,” Mu Qingkong said with a faint smile, clearly satisfied with Xu Qiu and Luo Qingxue’s performance.
“The Martial Artist monthly exam is in one month. I’m really looking forward to seeing how these two perform,” the principal said with a smile.
“One month… They should be able to steadily reach 1st stage Lower-Rank Martial Artist,” Mu Qingkong thought for a moment before replying.
Martial Artist levels were divided into ten stages, and each stage was further divided into upper, middle, and lower ranks.
Becoming a 1st stage Martial Artist within three months was already considered genius-level talent.
Reaching 1st stage Middle-Rank in one month was a genius among geniuses.
It was precisely because Xu Qiu and Luo Qingxue possessed SSS-Grade Martial Souls that she dared to make such a judgment.
Suddenly, Mu Qingkong sensed something and looked at Xu Qiu. Her expression changed slightly. “Wait… what’s going on?”
…
Xu Qiu was meditating on the Moonlit Sword Immortal Diagram.
Very quickly, he constructed the image of the Moonlit Sword Immortal in his mind, successfully entering a state of deep meditation and sensing the spiritual energy in the world.
It felt like fine dust particles, everywhere and nowhere at the same time.
Some areas were dense, others thin.
“Next, I need to draw this spiritual energy into my body and refine it into my own spiritual power. But how exactly do I do that?”
The moment the thought of absorbing spiritual energy arose in his mind, a pair of crimson eyes suddenly opened within his body.
They were the greedy eyes of the Taotie Martial Soul.
Its enormous mouth opened wide. A powerful suction force instantly enveloped the surrounding spiritual energy, which surged madly toward Xu Qiu’s body.
After the spiritual energy entered his body, the Moonlit Sword Immortal he had visualized began rapidly swinging her long sword.
With every slash, the absorbed spiritual energy was continuously refined into spiritual power.
The more spiritual energy he absorbed, the faster the sword swung, leaving behind overlapping afterimages.
Outside.
At the moment Xu Qiu began absorbing spiritual energy, Mu Qingkong and the principal of No. 3 High School both sensed it and involuntarily drew in a sharp breath.
It was too exaggerated.
Xu Qiu’s absorption speed was simply outrageous.
The surrounding spiritual energy surged wildly toward him, forming something like a vortex around his body. Even the spiritual energy near Luo Qingxue was forcefully drawn away.
No, not just Luo Qingxue’s.
At that moment, throughout the entire No. 3 High School, all the students who were meditating and absorbing spiritual energy felt that the energy they were supposed to absorb… Find the original chapter at novelping . com.
Was gathering in a single direction.
And that direction was where Xu Qiu was.
“What’s going on? Where’s my spiritual energy?”
“I had so much spiritual energy just now. Why did it all disappear?”
“What happened?”
“Good grief, it looks like someone else absorbed it all!”
Everyone gasped in shock.
Who could possibly absorb the spiritual energy of the entire school?
The teachers couldn’t continue their classes. Following the flow of spiritual energy, they rushed toward the entrance of the special class. Many students followed behind them.
“It’s the special class. Did God Xu and Luo Goddess do this?”
“No, look at Luo Goddess. She’s not meditating anymore. Only God Xu is still meditating. It’s him!”
“Unbelievable. He absorbed the entire school’s spiritual energy by himself? Then how are we supposed to cultivate?”
“God Xu, leave us a way to survive, please…”
Voices of discussion rose everywhere.
Even Luo Qingxue looked at Xu Qiu, who was still meditating, with a complicated expression. “This guy’s spiritual energy absorption efficiency is this terrifying? Even I, as an SSS-Grade Martial Soul owner, can’t compare?”
After an unknown amount of time, in Xu Qiu’s mind, the Moonlit Sword Immortal had been swinging her sword so much that her arm felt as if it was about to break. She no longer retained that cold and ethereal aura.
Xu Qiu also felt his body swelling slightly and stopped meditating.
The moment he opened his eyes—
Whoa.
So many people.
Every single one of them was staring at him. Some with shock, some with fanatical admiration, and Luo Qingxue with a faintly resentful gaze.
Xu Qiu’s lips twitched slightly. “Can someone explain what’s going on?”
“Xu Qiu, you can’t stay at school anymore,” the principal of No. 3 High School said.
Xu Qiu was stunned. “Principal, are you expelling me?”
“No, no, no,” the principal hurriedly shook his head. “How could I bear to expel you?”
With such a rare talent, he would rather treasure him like a priceless gem.
