Soon, several more days had slowly passed by…
In the Martial Skill Pavilion, Xu Sheng was seen sitting cross-legged on the ground, cultivating, as the spiritual power throughout his body circulated without the slightest hint of disorder…
The next moment, a humming sound was heard, as if his meridians had been cleared, and a slight vibration emanated from around him…
A few seconds later, after the spiritual power he had emanated had dissipated, those dark eyes quietly opened, flickering with a black gleam…
In a soft voice, he said, "Indeed, the gap between a Heavenly Skill and those below Earth Rank is so vast!"
He had been cultivating in this pavilion for three days, without a moment's rest…
As for how many Heavenly Skills he had learned, he himself could not keep track, but it was at least over thirty!
Thinking of this, Xu Sheng stood up and stepped out from beyond the barrier…
Just as he left, that immense spiritual power once again formed a barrier to perfectly envelop the place, as if nothing had ever happened!
Almost at the same time, a "Crack!" was heard as the door to the Martial Skill Pavilion was slowly pushed open…
Mei Li, full of charm, stepped in with her shapely and pristine long legs; her bewitching Beautiful Eyes glanced towards Xu Sheng ahead…
She licked her thin lips and gently asked, "Xu Sheng, how is your learning? Today is the third day, after all!"
Xu Sheng cast a glance at Mei Li, his tone even as he replied, "Thank you, master, I have indeed cultivated quite a few martial techniques!"
Mei Li blinked in astonishment and giggled behind her hand, "Learned quite a few martial techniques? You must be joking."
For one to be able to cultivate even an Earth-tier Martial Technique to entry level within three days was already considered quite good, yet he claimed to have cultivated quite a few…
Seeing the smile on her face, Xu Sheng said no more…
Mei Li spoke leisurely, "Regardless, the three days are up, and you should fulfill your promise to me, your master, shouldn't you?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Sheng's dark eyes narrowed slightly as he said softly, "Of course, I am willing to visit master's room."
Was Mei Li already so eager to make her move on him?
Making her wait three whole days was indeed hard on her…
Excitement began to ignite within Mei Li's Beautiful Eyes as she said with a hint of haste, "Very well, there's no time to delay. Let's go to my room now and I shall properly reward you!"
Subsequently, both of them left the Martial Skill Pavilion…
And the two Xieling Sect Disciples responsible for guarding saw Xu Sheng and Mei Li walking out unscathed, their eyes widening in disbelief…
The several groups of Xieling Sect Disciples who had come to select martial techniques in the past few days had all reported that there was no one inside the Martial Skill Pavilion!
They even thought that Xu Sheng might have left, but now, where on earth had this fellow popped up from?
No matter how much the two thought about it, they couldn't figure it out…
...
Under Mei Li's guidance, Xu Sheng followed her to her room…
Mei Li whispered to Xu Sheng at her side, "This is your master's room, Xu Sheng. I believe you will like it once you go in!"
Xu Sheng's dark eyes surveyed the palace in front of him, releasing a spirit force fluctuation to try and infiltrate it, but it was blocked!
Even so, the rich scent of blood that seeped from inside caused his brows to furrow slightly…
However, he managed to keep his expression unchanged as he spoke, "Master, your room seems to be filled with a strong scent of blood!"
Mei Li revealed a seductive smile, "Maybe, but inside this room, there's someone who has a rather close relationship with you!"
Deep down, she was also somewhat looking forward to her disciple, Xu Sheng, seeing the scene inside and showing a look of absolute despair.
Xu Sheng raised his eyebrows and thought to himself, "A close relationship? Is it Shangguan Lin?"
He feared that Mei Li, worried that he might escape, took advantage of his time in the Martial Skill Pavilion to capture Shangguan Lin and bring her here...
This was indeed a very thorough plan...
He then stepped towards the door, slowly pushing it open, and the extremely bloody scene inside was revealed...
Among it all, the most striking sight was the exceedingly pale and weak Shangguan Lin!
Upon hearing the door open, her beautiful eyes snapped wide, and when she recognized Xu Sheng in front of her, she exclaimed, "Xu Sheng, get out of here quickly!"
If he were ensnared too, then she would have no chance of survival!
Just then, Mei Li's voice sounded from behind, "Thinking of escaping? How could you?!"
With a "bang!" iron chains radiating a cold light instantly struck towards Xu Sheng, completely restraining his limbs!
Xu Sheng glanced at the iron chains that had bound his limbs and asked with confusion, "What is this?"
Seeing this, Shangguan Lin's face turned ashen, and she muttered in shock, "It's over! There's no way to escape now! These chains can suppress the spiritual power inside your body!"
In light of this situation, both she and Xu Sheng were no more than lambs to the slaughter, without any room to fight back!
Hearing Shangguan Lin's words, Mei Li in the front, with a touch of madness in her smile, said, "Well said, perhaps I should reward you? But let's wait until later~~"
At this moment, Xu Sheng calmly interrupted her, "Master, what are you trying to do?"
His words directly captured Mei Li's attention, and when she saw that Xu Sheng's face showed no fear or despair, her tone began to grow angry, "Where is the look of despair on your face? Hurry! Show it to me! Let me see that expression of despair that thrills me!!!"
What she wanted to see was the color of despair on Xu Sheng's face, definitely not the emotionless expression he was showing now!
If it was like this, what was the point of everything she had done??
Upon hearing this, Xu Sheng continued calmly, "Master, you speak of despair? Why should I despair?"
This statement was like a fuse, instantly igniting the fury within Mei Li, who angrily shouted, "Damn! It seems that I must properly 'reward' you!"
As the words fell, she drew a moon blade that emanated a luminescent glow, and furiously charged towards Xu Sheng...
Suddenly, Xu Sheng's body erupted with a terrifying shock wave, instantly breaking the chains that bound him, and his figure eerily disappeared from the spot...
Mei Li's beautiful eyes contracted, and she cried out in shock, "What?!"
Seeing Xu Sheng disappear, her heart went on high alert, her gaze scanning the surroundings...
Then, the icy words of Xu Sheng resonated throughout the room, "Master, are you trying to make a move on me?"
Upon hearing this, Mei Li yelled furiously, "Enough of your nonsense!! Become my obedient slave, and I can make you into my proudest work of art!!"
The next moment, a hand suddenly stretched out from the shadow beneath her feet, directly grabbing her ankle...
Mei Li was startled, "This... a Heavenly-tier Martial Technique, Shadow Concealment??"
Realizing what was happening, she immediately tightened her grip on the moon blade and slashed towards the shadow below...
