Chapter 9: Special Art

"I guess that day's incident with my sister was a blessing in disguise for you." Sitting across the lawn, on a boulder was Luo Xiurong. She watched with loving eyes as I swung my sword in the lawn.

"Most definitely not." She was talking about how I suddenly went to 10th Level of Body Refinement Realm. I just shivered remembering the pain before I passed out. "Definitely not a blessing."

"You don't need to worry about my sister telling father about our relationship. My sister may seem strict but she is very kind."

"Kind? She broke all my bones for fucks sake." I scoffed.

"Isn't it because you kissed her? Knowing my sister, that was probably her first kiss too." Figuring I wasn't going to reply, she continued in a serious tone. "If my father knew about our relationship before you are strong enough, I am sure he will take his whole army and come kill you. So be careful."

"What a violent family."

"Hey, I can hear you. Don't talk bad about my family."

I ignored her grumpy look, closed my eyes, and focused on the sword in my hand.

[Chicken Slaughtering Sword Art 4th Style: Chicken Slaughter.]

A cross shaped wave of air violently fired off with my swing of sword, and crashed onto a nearby rock, cutting it into four pieces cleanly.

Clap! Clap!

"Finally I perfected it."

[Unlocked Chicken Slaughtering Sword Art (1st Part) Special art: Reversing The Great Flow]

'A special art? Weren't there only four arts in 1st Part?'

[Special Condition has been reached. Looks like you are more than just an above average talent when it comes to sword. Good thing you finally found a talent in your untalented self.]

I now am already used to this system's sarcasm so I can calmly ignore it.

The knowledge of Special Art entered my kind. To say it was complex was an understatement, I couldn't understand half of it. Looks like I can only practice and understand it further.

I raised the pink sword, closed my eyes and immersed myself in the world of swords.

...

It has already been over a month since the classes started, people were finally starting to warm up to each other. Like how every class has their own geniuses, my class also had some.

Lu Qinlian and Luo Xiurong were the most talented disciple of our class, both were already at 3rd Level of Qi Assimilation Realm.

After them, it should have been me but some punks came against me and said I rushed my cultivation and bullshit. So second place went to Lin Jitian, the guy who was too busy acting cool. I even saw him trying to flirt with both girls, Xiurong ignored him while Lu Qinlian simply didn't acknowledge his existence. He was at 10th Level of Body Refinement Realm.

The exam was only two months away and I have already started seeing the panic filled faces of disciples. Some of them even cultivated day and night just to hit that mark of 5th Level.

While I was busy thinking, I smelt the fragrance of lilies entering my nose. Instinctively turning my head, I found Lu Qinlian staring towards me. After ten seconds, I was sure that she was looking at me, I waved my hands at her. She didn't made a respond and simply turned away.

The fuck? Is she alright in head?

"You are interested in her." Xiurong whispered with upturned lips.

"What? No. She is a weirdo."

After that, I saw Xiurong turning her head and I followed it to find Qinlian again looking at me, but it was better to call it a glare. Even though I couldn't see her face, I could somehow tell.

"Looks like she heard us." A suppressed smirk appeared on her fair countenance.

Wait. Did I just feel into her trap? This little...

As I about to teach her a lesson, the white haired teacher entered the class. Giving a light snort, I sat back.

"Good Morning. I hope your cultivation is going without any hitch, if there is, you can definitely ask for my or your fellow classmates help.

Anyway today, we aren't going to study more about cultivation as usual. You are going to exchange pointers against another class. Since they don't have any Qi Assimilation Realm student, Lu Qinlian and Luo Xiurong couldn't participate. So you two are free to go back if you want.

Rest of the students, follow me to the arena."

"Going back?" I asked to Xiurong.

She shook her head. "Coming with you."

"Let's go then."

Before I went ahead with her, I suddenly thought of something. Gathering my courage, I turned towards someone particular. "Lu Qinlian, do you wanna go with us?"

Qinlian who looked like she was going back, listening to my voice, stopped. After a brief, she ambled towards us, nodding. "Sure."

It was the first time I heard her voice and it could be best described as a mixture of cold and indifference. Beneath the veil, I could faintly make out the ocean-like limpid eyes looking at me, it was mysterious to say the least, pulling me in.

Breaking the eye contact, I began walking ahead. I heard from Xiurong that she had talked with Qinlian couple of times so I guess that's why she agreed. Or maybe she just fell for my handsome face.

While walking in silence, I contemplated whether I should use Sexual Aura on her or not? After some time, I decided not to, it was not the right time. Now that I think about it, things working out easily with Xiurong was a blessing. I couldn't even begin to describe how stupid I feel now. At that time, I felt as if everything was a game or something and recklessly approached her. Now, I need to plan things ahead meticulously and play it slow.
