Chapter 323: The Female State Preceptor Arrives in Person

At this very moment, Chu Huaixu’s 【Physique】 had officially reached 8 points!

In an instant, he felt that his fists had become harder.

Of course, it wasn’t just his fists that had hardened.

His health bar, defensive power, physical strength, and more had all received a comprehensive and substantial boost!

“As expected, the later the stage, the greater the amplification from each point of special attributes!” Chu Huaixu felt a bit excited.

The reason he had guessed this was purely because he had always felt: Comprehension 9 was still within the realm of humans, but someone like Little Xu with Comprehension 10… that didn’t even feel human anymore!

Not long after officially stepping onto the path of cultivation, he could already complete a fragmented version of 【Six Formations of the Broken Array】 on his own—what kind of human could do that?

After raising his Physique to 8 points, Chu Huaixu now felt that his physical body’s strength was terrifyingly powerful!

“Damn, wouldn’t this make the Ancestor Emperor drool to death?” he thought.

With such a supreme physical body, which person attempting possession could possibly resist it?

Because of his narcissism, he even began to empathize with those people: if it were me, I wouldn’t be able to resist either!

As for Qin Xuanxiao’s frail body, it simply couldn’t compare to his at all.

Chu Huaixu clenched his fist tightly, carefully sensing the violent power contained within.

“This time, I’ve at least become thirty percent stronger!”

His gaze sharpened, and he grew even more confident about the upcoming competition.

“Besides the massive increase in physical strength, with the enhancement of Physique, the duration of my Body-training Divine Ability should also be extended,” Chu Huaixu thought.

Today, after watching Han Shuangjiang and Qin Xuanxiao’s battle, his greatest impression was: the World Protagonists were truly maxed out in special effects.

Fortunately, he had obtained a Body-training Divine Ability from a Heaven-grade Treasure Chest back then. Otherwise, he really wouldn’t have any noteworthy “special effects” on him.

For players, that was absolutely intolerable.

After all, each version had its own god. Whether one was strong or not was only temporary—but whether one looked cool or not lasted a lifetime.

After feeling the powerful strength contained within his body, he was very satisfied with all aspects of his improvement.

More importantly, as long as he won the next match, Chu Huaixu would obtain 1 point of free special attribute.

At that time, he could raise his Physique to 9.

Just thinking about it made him somewhat excited.

During the two days of rest, all parties were making their final preparations.

On the Sword Sect’s side, the Sword Sovereign was giving Geng Tianhe special training.

He had opened his Sword Domain for him to comprehend.

However, how much he could grasp within just two days depended entirely on his own comprehension and fortune.

Meanwhile, within Prince Rui’s Residence, Qin Xuanxiao was also cultivating diligently.

The Ancestor Emperor had begun personally guiding him.

Originally, his recent “private tutor” had been the 【Guardian of the Nation】 of Moon Country, a Ninth Realm Fifth Heaven expert.

But under the Ancestor Emperor’s instruction, the Moon Emperor had stopped sending the 【Guardian of the Nation】.

A mere Ninth Realm Fifth Heaven—what could he possibly teach?

Ninth Realm Perfection and an ordinary Ninth Realm were completely different concepts.

At his peak, he could destroy him with a single palm!

After about an hour, Qin Xuanxiao, who had been meditating with closed eyes, slowly opened them, his face filled with wild joy.

Within his body, an incomparably mysterious power had been generated—this was the Spear Heart that the Ancestor Emperor had helped him cultivate!

“Do not celebrate too early. This is only a pseudo-realm.”

“You still have a long way to go before condensing a true Spear Heart,” the Ancestor Emperor said.

However, in his view… you probably won’t get the chance to walk that road.

At present, the overall situation was extremely grim.

The fact that he was still alive had already been discovered by the Mirror Country of the Eastern Continent.

Therefore, time was running short.

He would find a way to help Qin Xuanxiao seize the title of champion.

Once they entered the second layer of the Origin Spirit Realm, he would personally take over.

After refining the Origin Power, the Ancestor Emperor would immediately carry out possession—there was no time to wait until Qin Xuanxiao reached the Seventh Realm.

As for the four strands of divine sense that had likely fallen into Chu Huaixu’s hands, he would retrieve them later.

If he could seize them by force, then he would do so.

If that failed, then he would negotiate.

In such a vast Moon Country, what was there that they couldn’t afford to give?

“The Heaven-and-Earth Calamity is approaching. If I recover my cultivation, it will ultimately benefit the greater situation.”

After a while, he asked Qin Xuanxiao, “The spiritual pills I had you commission—are they ready?”

“Ancestor, they have long been prepared,” Qin Xuanxiao replied.

“Good. In the next match, if you draw Xu Ziqing or Chu Huaixu, take one pill before stepping onto the stage. At that time, you only need to relax your mind and not resist. I will win this match for you,” he said calmly.

“Yes, Xuanxiao thanks Ancestor!” Qin Xuanxiao said excitedly.

Yet deep within his eyes, something flickered—almost imperceptibly.

It was a trace of vigilance, and deep wariness.

The two days passed quickly.

During these two days, Little Xu had mostly remained in seclusion.

Even now, his cultivation was only at Third Realm, Sixth Heaven.

He was also the only participant among the top four—and even among the top thirty-two—who had not reached Third Realm Perfection.

This fact had become a popular topic of discussion.

Over these two days, Xu Ziqing had consumed quite a few pills in an attempt to break through his bottleneck, but it ultimately proved futile.

Although he had an innate Drug-taking Holy Body, his Spirit Embryo aptitude was disastrously poor, which inevitably dragged down his progress.

Sometimes, Chu Huaixu would think: “Under normal circumstances, could Little Xu even reach above the Seventh Realm in his lifetime?”

This also made him understand why the fourth layer of the Origin Spirit Realm required his First Master to clear it, and why Shen Man had died inside.

And just like that, the semifinals of the Eastern and Western Continents’ Grand Competition officially began.

At the Academy’s Martial Arena, a dense crowd of spectators had gathered.

Some cultivators who had no authority to enter would gather nearby and use their divine sense to probe the situation inside the Martial Arena.

  “Just as I expected, the further along it goes, the greater the boost each 1 point of special attribute gives!” Chu Huaixu felt a trace of excitement.

The reason he had been able to guess this was purely because he had always believed: Comprehension 9 was still within the realm of humans, but someone like Little Xu with Comprehension 10… that no longer felt human at all!

Having only just stepped onto the path of cultivation, yet already able to independently complete the incomplete version of 【Six Formations of the Broken Array】—what the hell kind of human was that?

After raising his Physique to 8 points, Chu Huaixu now felt that the strength of his physical body was simply terrifying!

“Damn, wouldn’t this make the Ancestor Emperor drool?” he thought to himself.

With such a supreme body, which person attempting possession could possibly resist it?

Because of his narcissism, he even began to empathize with those people: If it were me, I wouldn’t be able to resist either!

Compared to him, Qin Xuanxiao’s frail frame simply couldn’t be mentioned in the same breath.

Chu Huaixu clenched his fist tightly, carefully sensing the violent power contained within it.

“This time, I’ve at least become thirty percent stronger!”

His gaze sharpened, and he felt even more confident about the upcoming competition.

“Besides the massive increase in physical strength, as my Physique improves, the duration of my Body-training Divine Ability should also be extended,” Chu Huaixu thought.

After watching the battle between Han Shuangjiang and Qin Xuanxiao today, his biggest takeaway was: the World Protagonists were absolutely loaded with special effects.

Luckily, he had obtained a Body-training Divine Ability from a Heaven-grade Treasure Chest that day. Otherwise, he really wouldn’t have any presentable “special effects” on him.

For players, that was absolutely unbearable.

After all, each version had its own dominant figure—strength might be temporary, but whether you looked cool was forever.

After feeling the powerful strength contained within his body, he was very satisfied with the improvements in all aspects.

More importantly, as long as he won the next match, Chu Huaixu would obtain 1 Free Special Attribute Point.

At that time, he could raise his Physique to 9.

Just thinking about it already made him somewhat excited.

During the two days of rest, all parties were making their final preparations.

On the Sword Sect’s side, the Sword Sovereign was giving Geng Tianhe a special training session.

He opened his Sword Domain for him to comprehend.

But how much he could understand in just two days depended entirely on his own comprehension and fortune.

Meanwhile, within Prince Rui’s Residence, Qin Xuanxiao was also cultivating diligently.

The Ancestor Emperor had begun personally guiding him.

Originally, his recent “tutor” had been the Guardian of the Nation from Moon Country, a Fifth Heaven of the Ninth Realm expert.

But under the Ancestor Emperor’s instructions, the Moon Emperor stopped letting the Guardian of the Nation come.

A mere Fifth Heaven of the Ninth Realm—what could he possibly teach?

The Ninth Realm Perfection and an ordinary Ninth Realm were completely different concepts.

At his peak, he could destroy him with a single palm!

After about more than an hour, Qin Xuanxiao, who had been sitting with his eyes closed in comprehension, slowly opened his eyes, his face filled with ecstasy.

A profoundly mysterious power had been generated within his body—this was the Spear Heart that the Ancestor Emperor had helped him produce!

“Do not celebrate too early. What you have is merely a Pseudo-Realm.”

“You still have a long way to go before condensing a true Spear Heart,” the Ancestor Emperor said.

However, in his view, this path… Qin Xuanxiao likely would never finish walking.

At this moment, the overall situation was extremely dire.

The fact that he was still alive had already been discovered by the Mirror Country of the Eastern Continent.

Therefore, time was pressing.

He would find a way to help Qin Xuanxiao seize the position of champion.

Once they entered the second layer of the Origin Spirit Realm, he would directly take over the fight himself.

After refining the Power of the Origin, the Ancestor Emperor would immediately carry out possession—he could no longer wait for Qin Xuanxiao to cultivate to the Seventh Realm.

As for the four strands of divine sense that were suspected to have fallen into Chu Huaixu’s hands, he would deal with that later.

If he could seize them by force, then he would do so.

If not, then he would negotiate.

What could the vast Moon Country possibly not afford?

“The Heaven-and-Earth Calamity is approaching. If I restore my cultivation, it will ultimately benefit the greater situation.”

After a while, he asked Qin Xuanxiao, “The spiritual pills I told you to have refined—are they ready?”

“Ancestor, they’ve long been prepared,” Qin Xuanxiao replied.

“Good. In the next match, if you draw Xu Ziqing or Chu Huaixu, take one pill before going on stage. At that time, you only need to open your mind and not resist—I will secure this victory for you,” he said calmly.

“Yes, Xuanxiao thanks Ancestor!” Qin Xuanxiao said excitedly.

But deep within his eyes, something faintly flickered.

It was a trace of vigilance—and deep fear.

Two days passed quickly.

During these two days, Little Xu had mostly been in seclusion.

Up until now, his cultivation was only at the Third Realm, Sixth Heaven.

Among the top four—and even among the top thirty-two—he was the only participant who had not reached Third Realm Perfection.

This point had become a topic of much discussion.

Over these two days, Xu Ziqing had consumed quite a few pills, trying to break through the bottleneck, but ultimately to no avail.

Although he possessed an innate Drug-taking Holy Body, his Spirit Embryo aptitude was disastrously poor, inevitably dragging down his progress.

Sometimes, Chu Huaixu even wondered: “Under normal circumstances, could Little Xu even cultivate beyond the Seventh Realm in this lifetime?”

This also made him understand—no wonder the fourth layer of the Origin Spirit Realm required his First Master to handle it, and no wonder Shen Man had died inside.

And just like that, the semifinals of the Eastern and Western Continents’ Grand Competition officially began.

At the Martial Arena of the Academy, a dense crowd of spectators had gathered.

Some cultivators who lacked the authority to enter gathered nearby instead, extending their divine sense to probe the situation within the Martial Arena.
