If this took place in the world of today, Lu Xun’s actions would be comparable to suddenly jumping in front of the teacher, loudly shouting, “Surprise!” However, whether it stirred surprise or fright, that remained unclear.

Zhuge Lai Fu, who was following the teacher, noticed the teacher’s astonishment and instantly, he seemed to perceive something as well.

“Has Little Junior Brother had a… breakthrough!?” Zhuge Lai Fu couldn’t believe it.

Even though mastering the basics for them on the back mountain didn’t pose much of a challenge, it seemed overly simplistic when it occurred with Lu Xun.

Furthermore, due to the unique nature of his practiced cultivation technique, his speed of cultivation should be slower.

But after the surprise, Zhuge Lai Fu showed a sincere smile, genuinely happy for Lu Xun, exclaiming, “Who knew that our Little Junior Brother would be such a prodigy!”

The teacher kept his gaze fixed in the direction of the cave without speaking a word.

He furrowed his brows, then gradually smoothed them out. His expression was a tad complicated.

“Is the teacher considering something?” asked Zhuge Lai Fu.

The teacher raised his right hand with the orchid finger poised, then slightly waved it dismissively, saying, “Never mind.”

At these words, Zhuge Lai Fu was elated.

He knew that the teacher didn’t like men who were too handsome, and he had been able to serve at the teacher’s side primarily because… he was ugly.

The second sister had also vaguely noticed this quirk of the teacher.

On the other hand, the näive Mao Nanbei remained blissfully unaware, her daily routine being all about eating, drinking and playing and lazing in the sun on a rattan chair whenever she was tired.

So while Zhuge Lai Fu was currently happy for Lu Xun, he also wondered about the sudden change in the teacher, so he asked, “Teacher, have you noticed something different about Little Junior Brother?”

The teacher knew that his third disciple had an endless spirit of innovation as well as an insatiable curiosity.

He smiled warmly and said, “He is different from all of you.”

“In what way is he different?” Zhuge Lai Fu was puzzled, but seeing that the teacher did not wish to continue, he didn’t press further.

He pondered, “Should I grab our Little Junior Brother and study him a bit tomorrow?”

“Wait, he appears special. He didn’t die even after he leapt off the cliff with a mortal body! In that case…” The third disciple showed a warm-hearted smile.

Halfway up the hill, Lu Xun, after his level up, slowly opened his eyes.

“These fifty thousand experience points were well-spent!” Lu Xun said to himself.

He had now reached character level 11, officially entering the Initial Realm!

When he was playing ‘Heavenly Dust’ in his previous life, he did not understand the game at first and detoured many times. It took him quite long to level up to the 11th level, and he was definitely not as strong as he now was!

Believe it or not, the current me could easily defeat ten of the previous me at the same stage!

I could beat ten!

Hmm… It seems like a good idea to use my past self as a measure of progress.

If he appeared before the public beta players now, even without the cover of a purple-level identity, players would not be able to detect his basic information.

Level 10 is a massive leap, and if he is above the players by ten levels, they will receive a lot less basic information.

Lu Xun crossed his legs and carefully felt the spirit force within him. The total volume of his spiritual power was five times that of the players practicing Yellow Level Method!

Even compared with the players practicing Purple Level Technique, it was nearly twice as much!

Although the experience points he spent was terrifying, the gains were equally stunning!

Lu Xun couldn’t help but start wondering about the senior mentioned by the teacher who also practiced the Nameless Technique, how vast could his spirit force possibly be?

He studied his body carefully. Five strands of spirit force were like five rivers. They were not merged but distinct from each other.

The Five Elements give birth to and restrict each other. Lu Xun only needed to have a thought, and they could then merge together.

He brought his index finger and middle finger together and emitted a stream of Finger-tip Sword Qi. He could now use any of the Five Elements at will, and simultaneously merge them together.

However, the fusion of the Five Elements did not result in anything without attributes, but rather gave a sense of perpetual vitality.

As he thought, the Power of the Five Elements surged immediately, and the Sword Qi on his fingertip instantly thickened and enlarged!

“Impressive!” Lu Xun was having fun.

This scalable mode made him feel pretty good.

In addition to frightening people, it had many other uses.

And most importantly… he could control artifacts now, he could fly now!

It’s a shame that he hadn’t learned the Artifact Control Technique yet, and being trapped here, it didn’t seem necessary to fly.

If Lu Xun wanted to, he could just jump up and hit his head on the ceiling. What’s the point in flying?

Now, what Lu Xun wanted to try the most was the power of every Sword Qi strike!

In the past, he could use Mao Nanbei as a sparring partner. After the sparring, he just needed to give her something to eat or make her a pudding or similar small sweet.

But Mao Nanbei wasn’t around, so he needed to find a new sparring partner.

Soon, he fixed his gaze on the barrier at the cave entrance!

Everyone else carried a mark left by the third disciple, which allowed people with this mark to freely enter and exit the barrier, but Lu Xun couldn’t.

This barrier, arranged by the third disciple, had estimated Lu Xun’s power. Before Lu Xun’s breakthrough and small success in Ancient Five Elements Formation, he would not be able to break the barrier.

So isn’t this barrier a perfect punching bag?

Having nothing much to do and full of energy, Lu Xun no longer sat cross-legged but walked briskly to the cave entrance, launching one Sword Qi after another.

“Whoosh!”

“Whoosh!”

“Whoosh!”

Every Sword Qi thrown at the barrier did not leave a mark.

Transparent ripples spread one after another in the air, as if the barrier merely rippled slightly, discharging all the power contained in the Sword Qi.

Interestingly, the stronger the Sword Qi Lu Xun flung, the larger the feedback from the barrier, and the more prominent the ripple.

“Pretty good!” Lu Xun couldn’t help but compliment, thinking it was a very good sparring partner.

He held nothing back, converting all the spirit force in his body into Sword Qi and continuously unleashed it!

Incredibly, a wave after wave of Sword Qi made for a spectacular sight!

“Right, let’s add the Sword Intent and see the effect of my all-out attack!” Lu Xun thought.

The Sword Intent twined around the Sword Qi, still hovering over Lu Xun’s fingers like fog, though faint, it was much denser than before.

If the Sword Intent at the Great Perfection of Qi Consumption Technique was light fog, then it was now a thick fog.

Lu Xun raised his finger and pointed it at the barrier.

After a whooshing sound, Lu Xun was stunned.

He hooked his finger in the air, a look of astonishment plastered on his face. “Did… Did I just break it?!” He was flabbergasted.

(PS: Second update. The sty on my eye is really uncomfortable. I am going to apply some ointment and go to sleep. The word count for the two updates today is a bit less, but there are a lot of foreshadowing details, you’ll know in the future.. Besides, I will try to add more updates tomorrow!)
