Kapitel 52: Master Lu Chen on the Verge of Tears

Redakteur: GaiaNova, Thaddpole&Tortex

“Ah?”

Zhang Xuan was taken aback.

He didn’t turn around that quickly, neither did he use that much strength. Why did Master Lu Chen fly backward?

Could he be jumping around for fun?

“Master…”

He rushed forward to help the other party up. He placed his palm on the back of Master Lu Chen’s body to support him up.

“I’m fine…”

Sou!

Before his words could escape his mouth, Master Lu Chen felt his entire body go weightless as he somersaulted forward. His head knocked into another bookshelf, causing his face to be showered with books.

“I…”

The master was on the verge of tears.

[Are you playing with me? Must you use so much strength to help me up?]

“Master…”

Seeing his current state, Zhang Xuan rushed forward to continue helping him up. Upon seeing this sight, Master Lu Chen hurriedly struggled upwards and said, “You… Don’t come over. I can do it myself!”

“Keng…”

Zhang Xuan could only stop on the spot. He blinked his eyes as he looked at the elderly before him doubtfully. He couldn’t help but ask the question that had been plaguing his mind, “Master, are you jumping around for fun?”

“Jumping around for fun…” Master Lu Chen almost cried on the spot.

[The heck, you are the one who is jumping around for fun! Your whole family is jumping around for fun!

I am a master painter, an elegant person. How bored must I be to be jumping around for fun? Besides, even if I wanted to play, I won’t be doing it here! My collection of books, my treasures, are here…]

Master Lu Chen felt a stifling sensation in his chest, which caused him to be short of breath.

“Why? Are you feeling uncomfortable in your chest?”

Zhang Xuan walked forward to aid him, and he pounded his back to relieve his discomfort.

“No…”

Peng!

Before Master Lu Chen could finish his words, Zhang Xuan’s fist landed on his back, causing his eyes to narrow. Sou! He flew forward and crashed into the wall of the study, creating a huge crevice on it.

“Master…”

Seeing him charge ahead, Zhang Xuan scratched his head in bewilderment.

[What is this master trying to do?

Jumping backward a moment ago and jumping forward now, is he afflicted with epilepsy?]

If his epilepsy was acting up, it wouldn’t do for Zhang Xuan to ignore his current situation. He immediately rushed forward towards Lu Chen to try to help him up again.

“Don’t come over here…”

Master Lu Chen wiped the fresh blood off the corner of his lips and hurriedly retreated. He stared at the youngster before him as though staring at a monster, and he looked as though he would cry at any moment.

[I only felt a coldness in my heart, I am not trying to seek death! Your pound… Aiyo, my old arms, my old legs…]

“Master, what is going on?”

Seeing him in such a state, Zhang Xuan asked.

[You acted so maturely a moment ago, so why would you pounce and leap around suddenly? What are you trying to do?]

“What is going on?” Master Lu Chen stared at him fearfully as tears start to fall from his eyes.

[You don’t know what is going on?

Fearing that you might have gone berserk, I came forward to remind you out of goodwill. Yet, with a single turn, you sent me flying. Then, you ran over to push me forward. The final blow was the most vicious of them all, a straight pound at my back. If it weren’t for the slight cultivation that I possess, I might have lost my life already… Yet, you dare to ask me what is going on?]

Right when he was about to lash out, he saw the puzzled look on the youngster and he didn’t seem like he was lying. A thought flashed through his mind and he recalled something. With his eyes filled with disbelief, he asked, “You… Could you have just achieved a breakthrough?”

“Indeed!”

Zhang Xuan nodded his head.

Mastering the Heaven’s Path Golden Body should be considered as a type of breakthrough!

“But… Even if it’s a breakthrough, it is impossible for one to improve so swiftly…”

Master Lu Chen finally understood what was happening, but he still dared not believe it.

There were a few people who used special means to allow their cultivation to leap in an instant. After the gigantic soar in strength, their bodies were unable to adapt to the difference in strength in the short run, causing them to be unable to control their might. What seemed like their normal exertion of strength would become an attack of full strength in the eyes of others.

When one who possessed 100kg of strength exerted a tenth of their strength, it would only be 10kg. With such strength, they were able to freely lift cups and such without much hindrance. However, if one tried to use the same ratio of strength to lift a cup after his strength had suddenly surged to 10000kg, the overwhelming strength of 1000kg would exceed the durability of the cup and cause it to shatter instantly!

It was highly possible that this was the case with Zhang Xuan. As the person in question wasn’t even aware of how much his strength had grown, it was natural that Lu Chen would be unable to take it when he was using his previous strength ratio to operate.

He had read of this condition in books before, and it would take a period of time before the person in question was able to adapt to the difference in strength.

Initially, he thought that it was only a legend. Never would he have thought that… such a thing really existed!

Just that, he found it unbelievable that the strength of this fellow would surge by simply after flipping through some books and daydreaming away afterwards.

Could this be a sudden leap due to his deep accumulation? He might have happened to read something which caused his enlightenment, allowing him to break through in an instant.

If that was the case, then his luck was really way too bad.

“Follow me to the lounge!”

While holding doubts in his mind, Master Lu Chen didn’t say anything more and instead, led the way back to the lounge.

It was easy to tell whether the situation was as he suspected. He only needed to find a Strength Measuring Rock Pillar for Zhang Xuan to test his strength on.

Since the youngster was seeking for Fighter 6-dan cultivation techniques, then he surely had yet to break through Pixue realm. Since he had not reached Fighter 6-dan, then as a Fighter 5-dan pinnacle, he could only possess a maximum of 4 ding of strength.

If his strength were to exceed this amount, this would mean that he had improved significantly.

If so, the situation back then could be explained.

……………………………………

In the lounge.

Huang Yu and Bai Xun have yet to leave. They were still sitting in the living room as they stared in the direction of the study anxiously.

They came here with a request, but Master Lu Chen took Zhang Xuan away with him right after he finished testing him, not even giving them an opportunity to speak. At the same time, it wasn’t appropriate for them to leave abruptly, so they could only continue waiting patiently.

“Xiao Yu, just now that… Master Zhang Xuan, has he really reached Fighter 5-dan pinnacle?”

Bai Xun no longer viewed Zhang Xuan hostilely as he did previously. On the contrary, his voice held a tinge of excitement.

Actually, he wasn’t interested in painting at all. If it wasn’t for his father coercing him, he definitely would not have come here!

What truly interested him was cultivating.

He only felt excitement upon meeting powerful people.

All along, he had thought of himself as a genius. Despite being just eighteen this year, he had already reached Fighter 5-dan pinnacle. There weren’t many in the capital who could compete with him in terms of cultivation speed! Yet, he didn’t expect that a seemingly average young man who wasn’t much older than him would have reached such a realm as well!

How could he not feel excited over this?

“I’m not sure as well. I’ve already told you that he only came to my store to buy books… I don’t know much about him as well! However, since he is looking for Fighter 6-dan cultivation techniques, he should have already reached Fighter 5-dan pinnacle!”

Huang Yu said.

As Zhang Xuan had yet to make a move, they weren’t very sure about Zhang Xuan’s exact prowess. However, since he was looking for 6-dan manuals, it was very probable that he had already reached 5-dan pinnacle.

Otherwise, there was no point to him looking for such a high-tier manual!

“To be able to reach such a level at a young age, I wonder how powerful he is. Let me try it out myself later…”

Bai Xun tittered.

He was a battle maniac, and his heart could no longer suppress the urge to duel with someone of the same age who had attained the same level as him.

Da da da!

Just as the two of them were speaking, someone walked over. Turning around to take a look, the both of them were taken aback.

Master Lu Chen, who was still incomparably elegant a moment ago, was currently extremely gloomy and red blood filled his entire face as he walked over disheveled.


Kapitel 53: Bai Xun's Breakdown

Redakteur: GaiaNova, Thaddpole&Tortex

“This…”

The crowd stared at one another, dumbfounded.

[This is Master Lu Chen, the emperor’s tutor. Who dares to lay his hands on him, beating him into such a state?

Besides, didn’t you two go to the study? Why did he return… like this?

Could it be that they didn’t go to the study to read books, but to… fight?

The elegant Master Lu Chen has such interest?]

“I’m fine…” Master Lu Chen waved his hands awkwardly.

After all, he couldn’t possibly say that… Zhang Xuan had just achieved a breakthrough and unintentionally injured him due to the lack of control in his strength.

He also knew that it would be difficult to explain. Thus, Master Lu Chen walked over to the main seat, then turned to look at Uncle Cheng and said, “Ah Cheng, go and fetch a Strength Measuring Rock Pillar over!”

He was a master painter, not a fighter. Thus, no Strength Measuring Rock Pillars were placed in his lounge. However, as this item was related to one’s cultivation, there were still a few of them in his house, so it would be fine bringing one over.

“Yes!” Despite being unsure of what his master was up to, Uncle Cheng still nodded his head and retreated out of the room.

“Master Zhang, have you really reached Fighter 5-dan pinnacle?” Upon seeing the room turn silent, Bai Xun couldn’t resist walking up towards him with an excited expression.

“Un!” It might be inconvenient to speak of it in the academy, but it wasn’t any secret here, so there’s no need for Zhang Xuan to conceal the fact.

“I’m also on the same level. May I exchange some blows with you?” Hearing the young man’s confirmation, Bai Xun’s eyes burned with enthusiasm.

“Bai Xun, what are you doing. Look at where you are…” Taken aback, Huang Yu quickly tried to advise him otherwise.

Master Lu Chen was an elegant person, and he hated people arguing and fighting before him. [Don’t you think that it’s a joke to be issuing a challenge in his lounge?]

It was just as Huang Yu said, Lu Chen didn’t like others to be brandishing their spears and swords before him. However, while the Strength Measuring Rock Pillar wasn’t here yet, the best way to test whether Zhang Xuan had improved was through Bai Xun.

He was aware of the fact that the latter had reached Fighter 5-dan pinnacle.

With the same level of cultivation, he should be able to see whether Zhang Xuan’s strength had surged.

At this point, he raised his head and said, “I don’t have any objections if it is just ordinary sparring. However, don’t go too far!”

“Great!” Initially, Bai Xun thought that Master Lu Chen would object to it. However, contrary to his expectation, he approved. Bai Xun almost leapt up due to overwhelming excitement. With a delighted expression, he took two step towards the center of the lounge and with a cool pose, he beckoned Zhang Xuan. “Come!”

“Alright!”

Zhang Xuan had just completed his cultivation of Heaven’s Path Golden Body and he was curious to know how far his strength has progressed as well. Thus, he didn’t reject the other party’s challenge and walked over to the center of the lounge as well.

“The strength behind my fists are great, so be careful!” With hardened eyes, Bai Xun no longer had that gentlemanly look he usually had and replacing it was the aura of a powerful person unmatched by anyone.

As someone on the level of Fighter 5-dan pinnacle, in terms of strength, he was above even Shang Bin!

Huala!

After gathering his might, Bai Xun stepped forward. With his strength as a sword, the shockwave of his punch as a blade, he sent a jab straight towards Zhang Xuan.

To test his level of cultivation, Zhang Xuan didn’t bother to look at the flaws on Bai Xun compiled in the Library of Heaven’s Path and instead, he faced his fist with one of his own.

Hu!

The two fists connected midair and Zhang Xuan frowned.

“Why is the strength behind his fist so lacking? Could it be that he isn’t Fighter 5-dan pinnacle?”

Zhang Xuan’s fist went straight through the other party’s fist without slowing at all, completely overpowering him, as though a stone had met with a bubble.

Thinking that the other party wasn’t well-prepared and had yet to exert his full strength yet, Zhang Xuan quickly reduced his strength by half.

Even so, Bai Xun’s face paled and he was sent flying like a rubber ball. Sou! He only came to a stop when his back crashed onto a pillar forcefully.

“Why aren’t you using your full strength?”

Retracting his fist, Zhang Xuan walked forward and stretched out his hand to help the latter up.

“Don’t…”

Upon seeing this sight, Master Lu Chen’s eyes narrowed. He immediately tried to stop them, but he was too late.

Sou!

Bai Xun, who was pulled by the young man, flew away like a kite who had its string snapped. With a whistle of the wind, he flew in the air once again.

Paji!

After flying for a dozen meters, his face crashed into the wall and fresh blood spurted out from his mouth and nose.

“Wuuu….”

Bai Xun almost cried on the spot.

[Big brother, I know that I’m not a match for you, but you don’t have to be so merciless. My dashing features, my face…]

“Why are you…”

Seeing Bai Xun fly away with a pull of his, Zhang Xuan scratched his head with an innocent look.

[What are they doing?

First Master Lu Chen, and now Bai Xun. Is it really alright for the both of you to be leaping around?]

If the two of them were to know the thoughts that were running through his mind, they would have surely vomited blood on the spot out of depression.

[You are the one who is leaping around… We were thrown by you, alright…]

“This fellow…”

Standing by the side, Huang Yu’s eyebrows twitched and she found her head unable to cope.

Bai Xun could be considered one of the outstanding ones among the younger generation. Except for a few others, he was practically unmatched. This was precisely the reason why he cultivated a ‘competitive-but-reluctant-to-admit-defeat’ personality. He thought that the latter would not be able to match up to him in a duel, but never did he imagine that he would be sent flying in a single punch.

He lost thoroughly!

[This fellow looks ordinary, but how does he possess such overwhelming might?]

“Are you alright?” Unsure of what the others were thinking about, Zhang Xuan walked up to Bai Xun with an apologetic look.

“I’m fine…”

Bai Xun struggled upwards and patted the dust off his clothes.

As Fighter 5-dan who had tempered his bones and skin, small wounds like these did not pose a problem.

“Great. I realized that you have not used your full strength previously. How about this, let’s spar once more with you using your full strength….”

Zhang Xuan said with a serious expression.

“Again?”

Bai Xun’s face twitched and he almost cried.

[If we were to continue fighting, I might die here…]

He immediately waved his hand and said, “No need, master is indeed stronger than me. I don’t think there’s a need to continue sparring…”

“There’s no need to be courteous, it is just friendly sparring, so you don’t have to be so restrained. Also, don’t call me master, that sounds so distant…”

Zhang Xuan thought that the other party was acting cautiously due to his identity as Master Lu Chen’s peer, causing his reluctance to give his all in the spar, thus resulting in his weakness as perceived by Zhang Xuan.

When his cultivation had just reached Fighter 5-dan pinnacle, he crossed blows with Yao Han, and the latter gave him a lot of pressure through his formidable strength. Yao Han’s cultivation realm was higher than Bai Xun, but as there wasn’t too much of a difference between the two, he thought that it would be the same as when he faced him. Yet, Bai Xun was sent flying with a single fist. Finding it unbelievable, he attributed it to him not exerting his full strength.

Otherwise, with his 8 ding of strength, it was impossible for him to send a Fighter 5-dan pinnacle who possessed 4 ding of strength flying with a single fist.

“Spar?”

Bai Xun trembled in fear. [You call this sparring? With just that single fist of yours, I almost ascended to the heavens, you know that?

Besides, as a fellow peer of Grandpa Lu Chen, what do I call you if not master?]

A thought flashed through his mind and his face twitched, seemingly on the verge of tears. “Since you said that it feels distant calling you master, then why don’t I call you grandpa? Grandpa Zhang, I admit my mistake, okay? I shouldn’t have been so hostile towards you, so I beg of you… Stop asking me to spar with you!”

“The Strength Measuring Rock Pillar is here!” At this moment, Uncle Cheng walked over and saw such a sight unfolding before him. Upon hearing Bai Xun’s shouting plea, he became petrified on the spot. “What?”
