Kapitel 40: His Sister's Heart Is Black
Redakteur: Henyee Translations
Xu Zhong couldn't help but roll his eyes at her comment. Heartlessly, he quipped, "Repay you? I'll beat you up instead. How am I supposed to support you? Keep dreaming."
At that moment, Xu Yun'er's gaze suddenly froze.
Xu Zhong, who had just emerged from his shower, was now adorned in a sky-blue brocade robe embroidered with light blue cloud patterns, exuding an air of nobility.
Moreover, with his increased vitality, his figure had become more statuesque, his features more handsome, and his eyes more vibrant.
The subtle defiance in his brows gave him a unique aura, blending the refinement of a noble young master with the carefree charm of a market-savvy youth.
"Tsk, don't expect me to go easy on you just because you're my brother!"
Xu Yun'er, sitting on the sofa, sported vibrant crimson attire, intricate and splendid. Her face, with its delicate contours, could be likened to a flawless piece of jade.
When silent, she radiated an exquisite, untainted beauty.
While in moments of vocal exuberance, she transformed into a spirited female leopard.
Predictably, the silence didn't last more than three seconds.
Xu Yun'er clenched her fists and huffed, "I'm going to give you a good lesson today."
"Enough talk, Sis. If you want to fight, let's fight." Xu Zhong waved dismissively, sporting a grin.
Soon, the two found themselves in an open space.
Xu Yun'er, donning a fresh set of attire.
She showed off her slender, well-proportioned legs beneath knee-length shorts.
Her upper body was clad in a training suit that accentuated her taut midriff—a display of wild beauty reminiscent of a sleek female leopard.
Every subtle expression exuded a captivating charm that juxtaposed her sultry allure.
On the other hand, Xu Zhong didn't intend to employ the Azure Wave Sword Technique against his sister.
He feared he might inadvertently harm her. However, alternative methods posed no threat to her.
Xu Zhong maintained a composed demeanor, his breathing steady. As Xu Yun'er observed him with a smile, she teased, "Brother, are you confident about defeating me today? You seem rather sure of yourself."
Xu Zhong responded calmly, "Of course, it's like beating up a dog."
"Is that so?" Xu Yun'er's lips curled into a wicked smile. "I broke through to C-rank yesterday, Brother. Perhaps you weren't aware…"
What? Wait, what…
Xu Zhong's smile froze, then transitioned into a look of sheer shock.
Xu Yun'er wore a sinister grin.
The smile didn't waver. It merely transferred from one face to another.
Xu Zhong's face was a canvas of question marks. Is it too late to grab my sword now?
D*mn it, Xu Zhong thought he was already blessed with a cheat, but compared to his sister's innate martial talent, that cheat seemed somewhat lackluster.
Xu Yun'er smiled gently at Xu Zhong, her voice taking on a sweeter tone. "Brother, you've been getting a bit arrogant lately. I won't go easy on you."
"Don't…" Just as Xu Zhong was about to utter a word of surrender, his cunning older sister chimed in with a grin. "Who said beating me was like hitting a dog? I can't wait to see how you performs."
F*ck…
If his sister's heart were cut open, it would be black, super black!!!
With those words, Xu Zhong's mouth twitched slightly. However, he couldn't bring himself to admit defeat.
Initially, he contemplated feigning a stomachache to escape the situation.
He said without backing down, "It's just a C-rank. Sister, do you think a mere C-rank will scare me?"
Xu Zhong took a deep breath and gradually restrained the lightness between his brows. Since he had decided to fight, he would fight seriously.
After deep breathing, he invoked the Pure Divine Art, enveloping his body in a faint yellow radiance.
Beyond enhancing his vitality, this technique tempered his physique with the essence of extreme yang, elevating its quality.
As Xu Yun'er observed the faint yellow aura enveloping her brother, she was stunned.
"Is that the Pure Divine Art?"
The Pure Divine Art originated with Yan Li, the owner of the Fire God Dojo. Everyone in the Fire God Dojo was well-acquainted with this technique, and it was widely recognized throughout Hua Country.
Hence, Xu Yun'er's instant recognition came as no surprise.
The cultivation method was inherently uncomplicated, focusing primarily on enhancing vitality. As one progressed in mastering it, there were additional benefits such as increased lifespan, enhanced physical prowess, and even the chance to harness the power of fire elements.
However, delving deeper into the later stages of the Pure Divine Art demanded greater physical strength and heightened muscle sensitivity. Daily use of Fire Spirit Liquid to temper the body became mandatory at the minor accomplishment and beyond.
Each drop of this liquid carried a hefty price tag, unaffordable for most. Moreover, undergoing the Fire Spirit Liquid Body Tempering proved gruelling and torturous, leading many to invest their resources into alternative, potent cultivation techniques.
Xu Yun'er did not expect Xu Zhong to choose this cultivation technique. Furthermore, even more ridiculous was that he had cultivated this cultivation technique at the elementary level!
"Where did you find the funds to buy Fire Spirit Liquid?"
Without the Fire Spirit Liquid, it was impossible to cultivate the Pure Divine Art to the elementary level. Unless those guys from the Fire God Dojo were all idiots…
But how was that possible?
The cultivation method passed down for so long in the Fire God Dojo had been broken.
So, Xu Yun'er assumed Xu Zhong had acquired the Fire Spirit Liquid through some alternative means, which intrigued her.
Xu Zhong responded with a knowing smile, "I've found my method to learn a new cultivation technique. It's a secret I can't share with anyone."
Xu Yun'er regarded Xu Zhong seriously before nodding in agreement. "Very well, just remember, if anyone outside discovers anything, never reveal the secret. Instead, claim that you procured the Fire Spirit Liquid from me, and I'll vouch for you."
"Understood," Xu Zhong acknowledged, appreciating his sister's concern.
He knew the adage that a man's riches were his downfall.
He hadn't considered the consequences when he used the Pure Divine Art earlier. But now, upon reflection, he realized it had been somewhat inappropriate.
The Pure Divine Art set him apart from other cultivators and implied substantial expenditures.
Most people knew he was more famous and needed to spend a lot of money cultivating.
With her admonishment complete, Xu Yun'er resumed her playful demeanor. "You don't seriously think you can challenge me just because you've acquired some martial arts, do you?"
This time, Xu Yun'er's hand emitted a faint aura, a subtle energy. The energy wasn't particularly potent, but it carried a distinct intent.
Intent!
Only C-rank martial artists could manifest intent!
Sister had indeed ascended to C-rank.
It was likely that she had mastered Fist Intent.
In essence, she had channeled her intent into her fists.
What's the point of even competing…
Though Xu Zhong had managed to grasp some sword intent, he was unarmed now. What could he possibly do besides acting cheap?
I don't know what I can say.
D*mn!
Why did such a huge gap exist between people?
Weren't we supposed to be siblings, born of the same parents?
Before acquiring the system, my vitality was miserable, just one point!!!
