Qing Shiyu, dressed in a long gown that accentuated her slender figure, exuded a unique aura that was distinctly feminine. Under the morning sun, she looked almost picturesque in her beauty.
“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 retorted immediately. “I think you’re doing this on purpose. Now, in the capital, your name, Ye Wushuang, is on everyone’s lips. They say the royal family is favoring you, that you’ve killed numerous generals and commanders!”
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 the art of swordsmanship. However, as he was about to start, he looked at her and paused for a moment.
“What’s wrong? Does the princess have a flower on her face?” Qing Shiyu asked, curious about why Ye Wushuang was staring at her so intently.
“Have you… reached the sixth level of the Condensation Meridian realm?” Ye Wushuang asked, slightly stunned.
“Of course!” Qing Shiyu replied, beaming with pride. “I’m a genius. I just didn’t feel like cultivating before. 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 Condensation Meridian realm. A month later, she had reached the second level. After a month of the trial at Lingyun Mountain, she had advanced to the fifth level. And now, just a few days later, she had reached the sixth level!
This pace… it was too fast, almost eerily so.
Seeing Ye Wushuang’s expression, Qing Shiyu immediately said, “What’s that supposed to mean? I’m not worthy? You also reached the sixth level of the Condensation Meridian realm in just over two months, didn’t you?”
You?
Do you really think you can compare yourself to me?
Ye Wushuang thought to himself. Since the beginning of his life, after merging with the Ninth Yuan Shen and having his body remolded, his talent was beyond question. Moreover, he had a unique and powerful understanding of cultivation, which naturally led to rapid advancement in his realm.
However, Qing Shiyu’s speed was just too strange!
“Give me your hand!” Ye Wushuang said earnestly.
Upon hearing this, Qing Shiyu’s face turned slightly red, but she extended her delicate hand.
Without any hesitation, Ye Wushuang took her hand, and then, like needles, streams of spiritual energy from his fingertips pierced through her palm.
“Ah…” Qing Shiyu winced in pain and scolded, “What are you doing?”
Ye Wushuang, however, was intently examining the droplets of blood, deep in thought for a long while.
At times he looked confused, then surprised, then puzzled, and finally astonished.
It was only after a long moment, when he looked at Qing Shiyu again, that Ye Wushuang exhaled and said solemnly, “Qing Shiyu, you are a genius.”
Qing Shiyu replied smugly, “Of course I am. You don’t need to tell me that.”
But Ye Wushuang said seriously, “I’m not talking about your talent. I’m talking about your constitution.”
“Constitution?”
Ye Wushuang continued, “In this vast world, with its countless lands and countless people, ever since the path of martial cultivation was established, many legendary figures have emerged.”
“These powerful individuals were strong because they had extraordinary qualities.”
Seeing that Ye Wushuang was not speaking idly, Qing Shiyu began to listen attentively.
“Over the years, as martial cultivation developed and flourished, with countless geniuses and prodigies emerging, among them, there was a group of people who were even more remarkable.”
“Like those who had awakened their bloodlines, such as the Ye clan’s Devouring Bloodline, the Qin clan’s Blazing Bloodline, the Xiao clan’s Shaking Heaven Magic Ape Bloodline, and so on. These are examples of bloodline powers.”
“Besides these, there is another group of cultivators who are naturally suited for the path of martial cultivation, possessing unique constitutions.”
Constitution?
Qing Shiyu immediately said, “I know, I know. I’ve heard Master Mu Junli mention it before. 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, becoming spiritual alchemists…”
“Indeed.”
Ye Wushuang looked at Qing Shiyu again and said, “I didn’t realize it before, but you, too, are a genius with a unique constitution, a natural for the path of martial cultivation!”
Upon hearing this, Qing Shiyu was utterly astonished.
