Chapter 501: Something on Her Mind
After lunch, the disciples continued practicing. Chen Wentian went around each person, pointing certain things out but generally just observing. He didnt show blatant favoritism like he did with Wu Qianyu and maintained his poise as a respectable master and not a horny young man.
Lin Qingcheng was quite energetic in the afternoon. With her new bian in hand, she waved and pranced around like a wild child, not really following any sword style but simply doing whatever she wanted to get used to its cumbersome weight. She was strong but she wasnt someone who specialized in physical strength. She merely had great endurance due to the ability to replenish her strength using orgasmic energy. That combined with her cultivation which was now at the 8th Level of the Spirit Initiate Realm, she was able to appear somewhat respectable in terms of raw destructive power with the bian. However, an experienced fighter would be able to avoid her attacks with ease so it devolved into a cat and mouse game.
On the other hand, he didnt have to worry about Zhou Ziyun as much. She was quite good with the Flying Dragon Saber Art, at least its basic form. She wouldnt be able to bring out its full might until she entered the lesser realms. She was also adept at various lower-quality sword arts. With her cultivation at the 7th Level of Spirit Initiate Realm, she probably wouldnt be able to blow away the competition at the Convocation of Swords but she wouldnt embarrass herself either. That was all he really asked of his disciples.
Chen Wentian left those two to spar together and moved on to Li Yuechan who was dueling Wu Qianyu. Li Yuechan had been diligent in her cultivation but she was still at the 9th Level of the Spirit Initiate Realm, having stagnated for many months due to Chen Wentian being busy with other matters. Her cultivation was directly related to how much time he could spend dual cultivating with her. Her sisters were also the same and hadnt advanced either. Song Wushuang and Xu Lanyi were at the 9th Level of the Spirit Initiate Realm while Su Xue and Su Yue were still at the 8th Level of the Spirit Initiate Realm.
He signed to himself. Being a master came with so many responsibilities and he was disappointed in how he handled them. The demon incident had ended up being a real threat but he still felt that he had overreacted greatly and wasted too much time. The matter of the Virtuous Order and Long Yifei didnt help either.
When he had been a mortal, he had been keenly aware of the passage of time. Each year, each month, and each day was precious. Thats why he cultivated his soul art like a maniac and didnt engage in any relationships until he finally broke through to the immortal realms.
He really, truly felt bad and wanted to make it up to them.
Qianyu, let me spar with Yuechan. Chen Wentian said.
Yes, master. Wu Qianyu bowed and stepped aside to find another sparring partner.
Master. Li Yuechan faced him and reformed the ice sword in her hand.
It was a smooth white blade over one meter in length, a classical design with a one-hand handle and narrow guard. It gleamed in the sun, every bit as lethal as a sword made of steel or other metals. With the sword in hand, she emitted a profoundly icy aura that was much colder than he was used to.
Hey, your ice has gotten much better. He commented.
She didnt answer but simply raised her sword. He frowned, wondering if she was displeased about something. She didnt give any more time to think about it and came at him.
He quickly pulled out a sword and parried her slash. As the two blades connected, her icy energy traveled down his sword, causing frost to appear on the smooth steel. Another attack followed, then another.
Li Yuechan utilized a mix of sword styles. The most prominent was the Ice Sword Prominence, the standard sword art of Glacier Palace. It was something that all disciples there learned from a young age. There were also some concepts from Dugus Tenth Sword mixed in, providing her attacks much greater power.
Good! Chen Wentian said as he parried her attacks, Faster, dont pause between strikes.
Im not!
Despite the retort, her steps increased in pace and her sword became a blur. If he wasnt mistaken, she was definitely trying her hardest to cut him up now. He smirked and matched her blow for blow, not giving in one bit.
Come on, focus! Only his voice could be heard above the noise of their blades clashing, Your sword is light and fast, use that to your advantage. Faster!
Li Yuechan followed his pointers diligently, working on her sword craft even as she was engaged in a blood-pumping bout. Beads of frozen sweat collected on her brow more and more as they continued. Her breaths became heavier, producing puffs of white ice with each exhale.
Like Wu Qianyu, Li Yuechan chose to wear a white practice robe. Having just practiced with the other, this created an interesting contrast in Chen Wentians mind. Wu Qianyu held the advantage in physique with a sexy, plump body but Li Yuechan was quite stunning in her own way. She was a classical beauty, with a tall but well-proportioned figure. Everything about her was pleasing to the eye. If he had to judge between his disciples, her overall attractiveness was only behind Jasmine and Long Yifei.
This simple thought made him even more regretful. Just like how he had missed Wu Qianyu in the months he had to spend away in the Martial Brilliance Continent, he also missed Li Yuechan. It just took a while for him to realize it, having been completely wrapped by Long Yifei's charm for those two months.
Yuechan. Chen Wentian said while their fight continued, Can we talk?
What? Li Yuechan stumbled, not expecting him to ask something like that.
He parried her sword to the side and stepped a few steps back, drawing their session to a close. It seems that something is on your mind and I have something on my mind too. Walk with me?
She nodded and withdrew her ice sword. Ignoring the looks of the other disciples, he deftly grabbed her hand before she could complain and pulled her towards the entranceway to another courtyard.
