Chapter 307: Setting up Training Tasks!
Chapter 307: Setting up Training Tasks!
"These are the words those old fellows in the academy praised Master with, which I quietly noted down. Could it be that I remembered it wrong, or perhaps 'respected and pure, like ice and jade' isn't actually praising someone?"
Seeing Gu He's silence, Zi Yan muttered to herself inwardly. Then, she turned her head to Han Yue beside her and asked, "Senior Sister, can you tell me if these two phrases aren't praising someone?"
Hearing Zi Yan's question, Han Yue also felt puzzled. She then explained softly, "Junior Sister, those words are all quite good. 'Respected and pure' means that Master's character is noble and worthy of respect, while 'like ice and jade' refers to Master's noble and pure character."
"Ah, then why did Master react like this?" Confusion filled Zi Yan's dark eyes as she kept fiddling with her ponytail, occasionally glancing at Gu He.
"Cough! Cough!"
Hearing the murmurs from the two little girls not far away, Gu He knew that he had misinterpreted the meaning of 'like ice and jade' mentioned by Zi Yan. So, he cleared his throat twice, squeezed out a smile on his face, and slowly said, "Zi Yan, very good, it's rare that you can remember some profound words. Master feels very pleased."
"Really!"
"So, it's because the words I said were profound that Master reacted so strongly!"
Upon hearing this, the feeling of loss that originally filled Zi Yan was instantly replaced by excitement and joy.
"Hehe, the Master who is as pure as ice and jade, should reward me now!"
After the excitement, Zi Yan rubbed her tender white hands together and walked towards Gu He with a smile.
Seeing Zi Yan's current demeanor contrasting greatly with before, a helpless bitter smile appeared on Gu He's face.
"Master, I'm ready!"
Standing in front of Gu He, Zi Yan closed her eyes directly, her face full of anticipation.
After examining Zi Yan's condition for a while, Gu He found that the Dou Qi in her body was slightly unstable, showing signs that her physical strength couldn't keep up with her cultivation progress.
"It seems that the transmission of energy has been too frequent, and she hasn't had time to solidify the acquired energy. I wonder how much energy she can absorb this time!" Gu He sighed inwardly upon sensing Zi Yan's condition.
Then, Gu He stretched out his palm and gently placed it on Zi Yan's forehead.
"System, transmit energy to the Fifth Disciple Zi Yan!"
With a low shout from Gu He, a fierce surge of energy rushed from his palm into Zi Yan's body.
Due to the vast difference in realms between Zi Yan and Han Yue, there was naturally a significant difference in the speed of energy transmission to the two.
Under this immense energy, Zi Yan's cultivation realm, which had been stagnant for over a month, quickly broke through. She went from a Five-Star Dou Emperor straight to the peak of a Six-Star Dou Emperor, and then rapidly reached the peak of a Six-Star Dou Emperor. Finally, she directly broke through to become a Seven-Star Dou Emperor. However, this time, Zi Yan was already sweating profusely after breaking through two star levels, clearly reaching her physical limit and unable to accept any more energy.
Gu He, who had been paying close attention to Zi Yan's physical condition, promptly cut off the transmission of energy.
At the same time, a system prompt sounded in Gu He's mind.
"Ding, detected the host granting the Fifth Disciple Zi Yan ten days of cultivation. Congratulations to the host for triggering a thousandfold return, gaining twenty-seven years of cultivation!" (Note: these twenty-seven years of cultivation correspond to a Five-Star Dou Venerate)
"Twenty-seven years of cultivation has been deposited into the system space. Host, please check."
Ten days of cultivation!
The returned twenty-seven years of cultivation were much less than last time.
Upon hearing this system prompt, Gu He knew that at this rate, as ten days passed, Zi Yan would be able to absorb much less energy than this time. By then, the cultivation returned to himself would be even more insignificant.
If he wanted to restore Zi Yan's previous absorption capacity, Zi Yan would have to put in some effort herself. However, this lazy girl, when would she become diligent?
While Gu He pondered, it seemed that Zi Yan also realized some of her problems. With her head drooping, her eyes showed a strange color, devoid of the joy of breaking through her cultivation.
"Zi Yan, what are you thinking?" Gu He reached out to pat Zi Yan's little head, a warm smile on his face.
"Ah, Master, I'm not thinking anything!" Hearing Gu He's inquiry, Zi Yan replied in a low voice, her tone depressed.
"Little one, why aren't you happy after breaking through to the Seven-Star Cou Emperor?" Gu He asked softly.
"Master, I feel like I've been too comfortable, without any pressure!" After hesitating for a while upon hearing Gu He's question, Zi Yan finally spoke out her thoughts.
"Oh, do you want pressure?" Knowing that Zi Yan could think of this problem on her own, Gu He felt very relieved.
"Yes!" Zi Yan blinked her dark eyes and nodded heavily.
"Then Master will give you a task. If you fail to complete the task, you'll have to accept Master's punishment. Conversely, if you can complete the task, or even exceed it, you'll receive Master's super reward!" Gu He slowly spoke. Although Zi Yan said she wanted pressure, Gu He would never mention the matter of the Primordial Ancient Dragon Clan being trapped in the Ancient Emperor's Cave, because if she knew about it, it would be more than just pressure.
At the moment Gu He finished speaking, a beam of curiosity shot out from Zi Yan's eyes, and she asked eagerly, "Super reward, what is that?"
"Why don't you first ask what the task is?" Seeing Zi Yan's reaction, Gu He rolled his eyes at her and said unkindly.
"Hehe, Master, you tell me the task first, I promise to exceed it!" Zi Yan grinned.
"Han Yue, come over here!"
Instead of immediately answering, Gu He beckoned to Han Yue.
Soon, Han Yue stood beside Zi Yan.
"Zi Yan, Han Yue, with your current cultivation, there is indeed no need for you to stay at the Jia Nan Academy any longer!" Gu He slowly spoke, "Next, Master will assign you a training task, hoping it will become a motivation for your cultivation!"
"Han Yue, let me arrange your training task first."
Upon hearing this, observant Han Yue immediately understood Gu He's meaning and knew they would soon leave the Jia Nan Academy.
"Master, please assign the task."
Seeing Han Yue's calm demeanor, Gu He was very satisfied and said slowly, "After leaving the Jia Nan Academy, you need to go to the Central State. I have three requirements for you. First, break through to the Cou Emperor realm as soon as possible. Second, participate in the next Quad Pavilion Assembly, and you must reach the finals. Third, cultivate the Three Thousand Thunder Movement to the perfect state."
"Ah!"
"Sister, are you going to leave the Jia Nan Academy and go to the Central State alone?" Zi Yan, who was slow to react, just realized it now.
