Qing Shiyu, dressed in a long gown that accentuated her slender figure, exuded a unique aura that was distinctly feminine. Under the morning sunlight, she looked almost picturesque.

“You promised to teach me swordsmanship, but you’ve been avoiding me for days. What’s the meaning of this?” Qing Shiyu huffed.

“I’ve been busy,” Ye Wushuang replied.

“Busy with what?” Qing Shiyu immediately pressed. “I think you’re doing this on purpose. Lately, everyone in the capital is talking about how the royal family is favoring you, Ye Wushuang. They say you’ve killed several high-ranking generals!”

Ye Wushuang looked puzzled. “What does that have to do with me? Those people were marked for death by your uncle, the emperor.”

Qing Shiyu shook her head. “Never mind that. Just teach me swordsmanship already.”

“Alright,” Ye Wushuang agreed.

In the training ground, Ye Wushuang began to instruct Qing Shiyu in swordsmanship. However, as he was about to start, he glanced at her and paused slightly.

“What’s wrong? Does this princess have a flower growing on her face?” Qing Shiyu asked curiously, seeing Ye Wushuang staring at her intently.

“You… have reached the sixth level of the Nadao Realm?” Ye Wushuang asked, surprised.

“Of course!” Qing Shiyu replied, beaming with pride. “I’m a genius. I just haven’t been practicing much. If I wanted to, my sister, Qiqi, and the others wouldn’t stand a chance against me.”

Ye Wushuang raised an eyebrow. When he first met Qing Shiyu, she was at the first level of the Nadao Realm. A month later, she had reached the second level. After the one-month trial at Lingyun Mountain, she had advanced to the fifth level. And now, just a few days later, she was at the sixth level!

This pace… it was too fast, almost eerie.

Seeing Ye Wushuang’s expression, Qing Shiyu immediately said, “What’s the look for? Am I not worthy? Didn’t you also reach the sixth level of the Nadao Realm in just over two months?”

You?

Do you really think you can compare to me?

Ye Wushuang thought to himself in silence.

Since the beginning of his current life, after merging with the Ninth Yuan Shen, his body had been transformed. His talent was unparalleled, and his understanding of cultivation was unique and powerful. Naturally, his progress was swift.

But Qing Shiyu’s rapid advancement was truly puzzling!

“Give me your hand!” Ye Wushuang said earnestly.

Hearing this, Qing Shiyu’s face turned slightly red, but she extended her delicate hand.

Without any hesitation, Ye Wushuang took her hand and sent streams of spiritual energy, like needles, piercing through her palm.

“Ah…” Qing Shiyu winced in pain and scolded, “What are you doing?”

Ye Wushuang, however, focused intently on the droplets of blood, silent and deep in thought.

His expression shifted from confusion to surprise, from bewilderment to astonishment, and finally, after a long while, he looked at Qing Shiyu and exhaled deeply. “Qing Shiyu, you are a genius,” he said solemnly.

Qing Shiyu replied with a self-satisfied air, “Of course I am. You don’t need to tell me that.”

But Ye Wushuang continued seriously, “I’m not talking about your talent. I’m talking about your physical constitution.”

“Constitution?”

Ye Wushuang explained further, “In this vast world, with countless lands and the existence of martial cultivators, many legendary figures have emerged since the creation of the martial path.”

“These powerful individuals were extraordinary for a reason.”

Seeing that Ye Wushuang was not speaking idly, Qing Shiyu listened attentively.

“Over the years, as the martial path has flourished and diversified, countless geniuses and prodigies have appeared. Among them, a select few stand out even more.”

“Like those who have awakened unique bloodlines, such as the Ye Clan’s Devouring Bloodline, the Qin Clan’s Blazing Bloodline, and the Xiao Clan’s Shaking Heaven Magic Ape Bloodline—these are examples of bloodline powers.”

“Besides these, there are also martial cultivators who are naturally suited for the path of martial arts because of their unique constitutions.”

Constitution?

Qing Shiyu immediately said, “I know, I know. I’ve heard from Lord Mu Junli that some people have unique constitutions that allow them to cultivate at several times the efficiency of others. Some have constitutions that are naturally suited for alchemy, making them spiritual alchemists…”

“Exactly,” Ye Wushuang said, looking at Qing Shiyu again. “I didn’t realize it before, but you, too, are a genius with a unique constitution!”

Hearing this, Qing Shiyu was utterly astonished.
