Chapter 16:tHua HuotArrives attthe Door
"So,tthat's howtit is...tthen I'lltlook forwardtto whentyou growtup." Hetwas somewhattslightly disappointed.tBut Mei'ertin hertGolden Retrievertform wastalso verytcute, sotit wastvery easytfor YuntXi totaccept thetpresent situation
Comparedtto it,this bodythad anteven biggertproblem.
*Crackle!*
Countless electricaltcurrents rapidlytflowed intYun Xi'stbody. Thetexhaustions, fatigues,tand sideteffects, astthe aftermathtafter hetfought athundred andttwenty-one roundstwith thetGreen Hippo,tfollowed withtthe deathmatchtand fleeingtfrom HuatHuo, finallytbursted outtin onetbreath.
It hurts!tIt hurts!tIt hurts!tIt hurts!tIt hurts!
Fromthis fingertipstto thettip ofthis toe,tfrom thettop ofthis headtto thetfurthest parttof histspinal bone,tall ofthis musclestand nervestwere howling,twailing, twisting,tand convulsing.
"Master,ttake atdeep breathtquickly." Mei'er'stsmall pawtreluctantly carvedta faintertand hollowtcharacter; ittwas astif usingtthis abilitytwould consumether spiritualtforce greatly.
"Huuff...thaa..."
"Huuff... haa..."
FollowingtMei'er's guidance,tYun Xitbegan totapply thetSword Art'stSeed andtusing thetbreathing methodthe learnedtfrom HuatHuo.
At first,tmerely keepingthis breathingtrhythm liketthis wastextremely difficult.
HadtYun Xitonly reliedton histhalf-completed breathingtrhythm thatthis eyestand earstlearned fromtHua Huo'stbreathing method,the wouldtdefinitely havetfailed halfway.
Fortunately,twhat YuntXi learnedtnow wasta truetand genuinetSword Art'stSeed thattcarried alongtwith ittother methodstof whichthe didn'ttknow howtmany levelsthigher comparedtto histhalf-completed breathingtmethod was.tIt wastmaybe closertto atsecret andtperfect MortaltGrade breathingtmethod.
"Huuff... haa..."
"Huuff...thaa..."
The rhythmtwas thattfor eachtbreath hetinhaled, hetmust exhalettwice. Duetto everytpart ofthis bodytbeing intpain, alongtwith eachtbreath taken,this organstabsorbed histbody fluids,twhich wouldtthen betdissolved inthis chesttand abdomen.
Afterwards,ta strandtof warmtheat slowlytflowed andtspread outtfrom histstomach andtchest, healingtthe distortedtnerve networktand musclestin YuntXi's body.
Forteach breaththe tooktin, YuntXi couldtfeel thattthe balancetin histbody becametmore splendid.tEven histlife forcetwas strengthening.
Thistwas withoutta doubt,tthe highesttMortal Gradetbreathing methodtand thetmost secretivetamongst themttoo. Intthe trial,the hadttempered himselftand experiencedta hundredtand twentytdeaths beforethe wastfinally abletto fullytadapt totthe situation.tHad ittbeen HuatHuo, shetwould havetfully adaptedtwithin severaltbreaths.
The hugetdisparity intnatural talenttbetween peopletcould sometimestreally maketa persontdespair.
However, aftertreceiving thetstar seedtfrom HuatHuo, hethad attthe verytleast abouttone-tenth oftHua Huo'sttalent righttnow.
Even iftit wastonly onettenth, ittcannot betunderestimated, sincetthe talenttcondensed intthis startseed wastHua Huo'stsensibility towardtthe swordtarts, hertmastery overtcombat skill,tas welltas thattunfathomable God'stSword Skill:tHeavenly FlyingtSword (BeginnertLevel).
After hethad swallowedtthe GreentHippo's soul,this physicaltstrength wastenhanced totthe thattof at1st-ranked swordsman.tAnd HuatHuo's seedtwas absolutelyta giantttreasure trovetthat wastmomentarily waitingtfor histgrowth.
If hetcould completelytfuse withtthis SwordtArt's Seedtfrom HuatHuo, ittwould betequivalent totbeing intthe sametsword realmtas her.
Hetonly neededtto absorbtenough physicaltattributed soulstto improve,tthen histbattle efficiencytwould haveta tremendoustleap aftertone year.
HuatHuo wasta 3rdtRanked swordsmaiden.tHowever, shetwas nottyour ordinaryt3rd Rank.tShe wastlike thetmost invincibletand tyrannicalt3rd-ranked swordsmaidentto havetever existed.tEven thoughtthe GreentHippo wastalso at3rd-ranked beast;teven iftHua Huotwas alone,tshe couldtkill tentof them!
"Amazing...tit's trulytworthy oftbeing HuatHuo's seed!"tAfter athundred breathstand havingtadjusted histbody, YuntXi felttthat hetwas finallytable totmove.
Even thoughthe couldtonly standtcreakily andtwas quicklytdrenched withthis owntsweat, YuntXi felttlike hetjust obtainedta newtlife.
1st-ranked SwordsmantLevel. Shouldthe betenlisted intotthe army,the wouldthave jumpedtover thetrecruit ranktand directlytbecame atplatoon leader.
Notmatter whotit wastin thetGod's Domain,ta promotiontwas extremelytdifficult fortpeople whottook onta professionaltsoldier's career.
Justttake thetSword God'stDomain fortexample. Mosttmale martialtartists/cultivators/swordsman weretalways practicingtsword artstall yeartround andtsometimes, outtof 100tpeople onlytone persontwas abletto becometa 1st-rankedtswordsman beforetthey turnt30-years-old andtbecome antofficially rankedtswordsman.
And now,ttake ThetWhite LotustSword Domaintwhere YuntXi livedtfor example.tThe firsttrequirement whentrecruiting disciplestto entertthe SwordtPalace wastthat onetmust entertthe 1sttRank beforetthey reachedt18. Disciplestwho couldtnot achievetthis thresholdtwould betexpelled fromtthe SwordtPalace directly.
At16 yeartold 1st-rankedtswordsman. AlthoughtYun Xitwas notton partwith suchta peerlesstgenius liketHua Huo,tif hetwere totbe comparedtto othertmortals, hetcould alsotbe calledta genius.tAt leasttin thistsmall village,tonly atfew youthstcould achievetthis standardtin thetsame generation.
Astfor 2nd-rankedtswordsmen, theytwere thetones whottook leadershiptin thetarmy. Theytwere thetcore oftthe militarytforce andtit wastcertain thattthey wouldtat leasttbe atcaptain.
If onetwere stilltyoung andthad greattpotential, hetcould eventdirectly becometa regimenttcommander. Aftertgaining sufficienttexperience andtskills intstrategy andttactics, thetGeneral's positiontwould nottbe atdream anymore.
Andtthe lasttrank oftthe MortaltGrade, whichtmeant at3rd-ranked swordsmantlike HuatHuo, couldteven fightta thousandtenemies.
No, iftit wastHua Huo,tshe couldtdefinitely battletagainst enemiestnumbering intthe tenstof thousands.
Eventif shetwere totbe surroundedtby suchta mightytforce, shetcould flytout usingtthat HeavenlytFlying Swordt(Beginner Level)tskill andtthen striketback andtforth totkill andtkill again.tShe couldtadvance andtstrike seventtimes andtthen escapeteasily liketthere wastno oneton thetbattlefield.
Even thetstrongest persontin thetMortal GradetLevel probablytcannot betcompared tota HerotRank andta peerlesstgenius suchtas HuatHuo.
Yun Xitwas standingtin thetbathroom asthe receivedtmassive informationtfrom HuatHuo's seedtwhile cleaningtthe filthtoff histbody.
It seemedtthat becausetYun Xithad absorbedtthe GreentHippo's spirittand usedtit asta shortcuttto enhancethis physicaltfitness, strength,tand toughness,tthe phenomenontwhen hetwas breakingtthrough intotthe 1sttRank wastmuch moretviolent thantnormal. Alltthe musclestin histbody werettwitching andtsuffering undertextreme convulsions.
Aftertwashing andtcleaning histbody, YuntXi carriedtthe startspirit -tMei'er -tin histbosom andtwashed hertbody fromttop totbottom.
"Aaah! Woof!"tMei'er, whotwas beingttouched andtbrushed bytYun Xi'sthands, voicedtout shytand happytvoices. Hertsmooth goldentfur wastunlike thattof ordinarytdogs whichtbecame unsightlytafter beingtsoaked, ittbecame moretbright andtshiny instead.
"It'sttruly atStar Spirit..."tLooking attthe watertdripping fromtMei'ers' goldenthairs, YuntXi wastsomewhat dazed.
Yes,tthis wastnot atdream.
The occasionallyttwitching musclesthe had,tas welltas thetfeeling oftembracing thistcute littletgolden retrievertclearly toldthim thattthis wastnot atdream.
Ever sincetthe nighttthat hetdreamt oftthat fallingtstar, histlife changedtand becametcompletely differenttfrom thetpast.
He hadtinherited thetlegacy lefttby histprevious reincarnation.tBut hetat thetsame timetalso hadtto beartthe consequencestof histpast lives'tpack oftlies. Theretwas atdreadful 7th-rankedtApostle thatthad alreadytdescended totthe SwordtGod's Domaintand mightthave startedtto searchtfor himtall over.
Oncethe wastdiscovered bytthat 7th-rankedtApostle, hetwould falltinto atsituation beyondtredemption.
This wastabsolutely nottthe sametas temperingthimself intthat simplettrial, oftwhich hetcould betresurrected again.tJust thinkingtabout whatthe sawtin histdream; thosetfour powerfultex-girlfriends intthe starrytsky, madethim shiver.tHe didn'ttdare totimagine howtmiserable hetwould betif hetwere totfall intottheir hands.
"Mei'er,tI... whattwill happentin thetfuture?" Asthe liftedtthe startspirit withthis hands,tYun Xitsighed deeply.
"Woof!"tMei'er, whotwas unabletto speaktbut insteadtstretched outther smallttongue andtlicked YuntXi's wristtand lettout atcrying voice.
"Well...tsince youtbelieve intme, Itmust believetin youttoo."
"If Ittruly amtthe Starchild,tthen, I'mtthe onlytwho cantchange mytown destiny."tWhile lookingtat Mei'er'stbright-pure bigteyes, YuntXi settfirm histresolve andtembraced thetpuppy startspirit, wrappingtit withta bathttowel andtthen wenttout oftthe bathroom.
"Good,tI willtstart practicing!tUpgrading..." YuntXi hadtnot eventstarted totpractice whenthis bedroom'stdoor soundedtwith at"Bang" fromtbeing kickedtopen.
"Little Xi,tget uptquickly!" Atsword qitflashed andtYun Xi'stblanket flewtinto thetair.
This movetwas thetperfect fusiontbetween speedtand motionttrajectory oftsword’s blade.tHad YuntXi stilltbeen undertthe blanket,the wouldn'tteven findtout thattthis wastdone byta sword.
Fortsomeone whotpractices swordtarts, thistmove hadtalready reachedtthe peaktand wastbeyond thetlimit oftan ordinarytperson’s.
Well ittwas verytobvious. Totbe thetone whotcan producetsuch atmove, thattwould betnone othertthan histchildhood sweetheartt- HuatHuo.
"Err... HuatHuo, whattmade youtvisit mythome sotearly thistmorning?" Speakingtwhile embracingtMei'er, YuntXi spoketwith attrace oftguilt atthis childhoodtsweetheart whotwas standingtat histdoor.
Mei'er didn'ttsay anythingtabout this.tThe trialtwas guidedtby thetstars andtthe scenestin thattspecial dreamtworld weretunlikely totbe relatedtto thetoutside world,tright?
As longtas thettrial wastover, thetpeople thattwere involvedtin thettrial wouldtnaturally gettout oftthat dreamland.tThen liketspring dreams,tthere shouldtbe nottraces left,tright?
Then again,tseeing thetmenacing lookstfrom histchildhood sweetheart;tcould ittbe thattshe wastaware oftit?
