Chapter 679: Chapter 689: Rumors Are Not Credible
"Si Huang, if you really fancied Chu Feng instead of choosing me, that would be your greatest loss. You’ll regret it."
"You might protect him today, but you can’t possibly protect him for a lifetime."
Han Sheng did not pursue Chu Feng to attack him.
In fact, he was just the hysterical type, barking a few times. Starting a fight on the second floor of the Collection Pavilion would be insane.
He was just blinded by rage earlier, and also aimed to intimidate Chu Feng.
Fuming with rage, Han Sheng left the Collection Pavilion, firmly convinced of an unspeakable intimacy between Si Huang and Chu Feng.
Otherwise, Si Huang seemed to hate Chu Feng deeply during their last encounter in the Chuan Gong Hall.
When Han Sheng wanted to punish Chu Feng earlier, Si Huang made it clear that she would protect him.
A blazing jealousy burnt wildly in Han Sheng’s chest. He hated himself for not listening to Lu Kuixi’s advice before, which allowed Chu Feng to succeed.
The ancients did not deceive me. Loving scolds, warm slaps; indeed, it is true.
After leaving the Collection Pavilion, Han Sheng became even more eager to find a chance to get rid of Chu Feng. Only by removing Chu Feng would he have a chance with Si Huang.
...
Chu Feng entered the second floor of the Collection Pavilion, and this time he did not dawdle, directly choosing the top Supporting Sword Skill he had set his eyes on last time.
This swordsmanship is called the Hymn Sword Technique.
It is a very extraordinary swordsmanship, having no independent moves of its own. It can only enhance the power of other swordsmanship by extolling them. Moreover, with each level it ascends, it can enhance the power of other swordsmanship by ten percent through its praises.
Compared to the Transformation Sword Skill, it’s just a bit less capable.
But it absolutely belongs to the top choice among the top Supporting Sword Skills.
When Chu Feng had picked the Transformation Sword Skill, he had already taken a fancy to it. Now, having practiced the Transformation Sword Skill and realizing its difficulty, the desire for the Hymn Sword Technique grew even more urgent for Chu Feng.
After making his selection and registration, Chu Feng took his proof and prepared to queue up, waiting for the Instructor Elder’s teaching.
Having personally experienced the work of an Instructor Elder once, only then did Chu Feng understand how challenging their job is. It is indeed very strenuous.
Performing transmissions once or twice a day might be acceptable.
But being like a robot, continuously teaching one after another, would be unbearable for most people.
No wonder there’s a perennial shortage of staff here.
Think about it, which of the Sect Elders who have cultivated above the Nine-star Sword God Realm would be willing to work themselves to exhaustion daily? If it were for cultivation, it might be worth it.
Teaching others doesn’t enhance one’s own cultivation, but instead the Soul Power is actually depleted.
Naturally, not many can accept that.
Just then, a figure rushed up to the second floor.
"Who wants to learn the Transformation Sword Skill?" Elder Fu Xiao finally arrived at this moment. It seems he had finished his important tasks.
"Ah, Elder Fu Xiao, you’re finally here!"
Manager Yu hurried forward to greet him, fawning like a grandson.
"It’s the Inner Sect’s number one Heavenly Pride, Si Huang, who wishes to learn the Transformation Sword Skill. Since we didn’t know when you would be able to arrive, and just as Chu Feng was here, he took your place in teaching the ’Transformation Sword Skill’ to Si Huang."
Manager Yu explained with a smile.
"Si Huang? I heard she had already learned the ’Transformation Sword Skill’ a while ago, hadn’t she?" Elder Fu Xiao said with a puzzled face.
He then asked in shock, "What did you say? Chu Feng is taking over my teaching duties?"
"Elder Fu, please don’t blame me for stealing your business," Chu Feng said with a smile as he walked over. He got along well with Elder Fu Xiao and wasn’t worried that the elder would be upset over such a trifle.
Sure enough, Elder Fu was not at all angry.
Instead, he looked at Chu Feng with a face full of shock, "You’ve already passed the Instructor Elder’s qualification assessment?"
"Heh heh, I was fortunate enough to pass it not long ago," Chu Feng said with great modesty, but also with a touch of pride.
Those who qualify to be an Instructor Elder are indeed very few.
"Good lad, you really have something. Our Ten Thousand Sword Sect will surely prosper because of you in the near future. Right now, our Ten Thousand Sword Sect is surrounded by crises, and we need super talents like you."
After the shock, Elder Fu praised Chu Feng endlessly.
Chu Feng, feeling a bit embarrassed, scratched his head and then quickly shifted the topic, "Elder Fu, I remember you mentioned last time that Si Huang had learned the Transformation Sword Skill. But she hasn’t managed to master it, has she? Why is she coming to learn it again?"
Chu Feng was also very curious about this.
"There are many inaccuracies in rumors, I didn’t expect even Elder Fu to be deceived. Si Huang has always pursued refinement in her Swordsmanship; she has never learned the Transformation Sword Skill. In this regard, I have the right to speak, as every Sect disciple’s Swordsmanship learned here is recorded and filed in their personal dossier,"
Manager Yu said with certainty.
Since he said so, it must be true.
Indeed, learning a Swordsmanship is not a small expense. It requires a hundred thousand Merit.
Si Huang would definitely not come to learn it again if she had already done so.
"Ha, it’s true that with fame comes trouble. Si Huang, being so famous, must have many who are envious of her. Some people deliberately slander her and belittle her, which is normal. Even I have been deceived. I always thought she had practiced the Transformation Sword Skill. It seems that from now on, I must not easily believe things unless I see them with my own eyes,"
Elder Fu Xiao said with a bitter smile, somewhat annoyed.
A false rumor, passed around a hundred times, becomes treated as the truth.
"Elder Fu, your timing is perfect, I want to learn the Hymn Sword Technique. How about you find some time to teach me!" Chu Feng suggested.
"You sure know how to choose, young man. The Hymn Sword Technique is only second to the Transformation Sword Skill among top swordsmanship. If cultivated to the Ninth Level, it can directly double the power of other Sword Techniques. It’s a very practical Supporting Sword Skill."
"Let’s go to the transmission chamber. I will teach you right now. Since you took my business, it’s only fair you make it up with this deal, so I don’t make a wasted trip."
The latter part from Elder Fu was clearly a joke.
As Chu Feng’s strength grew stronger and his various skills began to come to light, his status in Elder Fu’s heart also kept rising.
The tone Elder Fu used to talk with him was absolutely like talking to a peer.
After one and a half two hours, Chu Feng followed Elder Fu Xiao out of the transmission chamber. He had obtained the Hymn Sword Technique.
Having acquired such an amazing sword technique, he couldn’t wait to enter the Gui Xu Secret Realm to start his cultivation.
...
Time flies; in the following days, Chu Feng was leading a regular life of cultivation.
Every month, he would definitely set aside five or six days to concoct Elixirs.
Over at Longevity Hall, Li Shishi’s intelligence network had become more comprehensive. Beixie National Master suggested to Chu Feng to hire a group of experts to join Longevity Hall, to keep them on like enforcers.
Additionally, the two storefronts next to Longevity Hall have been almost finalized and can be purchased at any time.
Waiting for Chu Feng, the actual owner, to go there and take charge.
Looks like I must set aside some time to take a trip to Longevity Hall.
