Chapter 73: Senior Sister

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

In his bedroom, Chen Yiming sat by his desk. There were two items on the desk — a book on swordsmanship and half a piece of bone. Both items had been found on the body of Long Denghua.

The pages of the book were already turning yellow, and there were traces of the book being flipped through many times.

“Could this be the secret of Long Denghua abandoning his fists to cultivate the sword?” Chen Yiming muttered to himself as he flipped through the book page by page.

Before long, he had quickly looked through the entirety of the sword technique, and imprinted the complete technique clearly in his mind.

“Strange, this sword technique is named the Thunder Sword Technique, but the moves don’t have much to do with the name.”

Thanks to his ability to simulate the moves with the small figure in his mind, Chen Yiming didn’t need to actually practice the sword technique with his body. He felt that something was amiss.

“The simulation by the figure in my mind has never been wrong. There must be some secret hidden in it that I don’t understand,” Chen Yiming firmly believed in this.

Since he couldn’t figure it out yet, Chen Yiming put aside the sword technique book he had read and picked up the piece of bone.

The surface of the bone had a picture that he could not understand. Streams of tree branch-like lines ran from one end of the bone to the other.

“Half of it is missing. The picture is incomplete.” Chen Yiming touched the edge of the lines extending towards the other side and concluded.

At this point, he realized that he had no idea where to continue his investigation, because the information he had was insufficient.

He had already mastered the moves of the Thunder Sword Technique. Compared to all the sword techniques he had learned so far, he could not feel any difference.

He looked at the picture on the surface of the bone a few times, but nothing happened. This proved that the method he was using was wrong.

“Why don’t I get the school’s head to take a look?” A thought flashed across

Chen Yiming’s mind.

In an instant, he extinguished the thought.

Why was Long Denghua trying so hard to conceal the fact that he had already undergone six transformations?

Generally speaking, the more talented one was, the more one would be valued, and the more cultivation resources one would obtain.

“These two things caused Long Denghua to conceal his strength and bide his time. It’s very likely that they are the key to breaking through to the warrior realm. Other than that, I really can’t think of any reason for him to hide his level of cultivation.

Most importantly, Long Denghua wasn’t a genius in his early years. Otherwise, why would he have been beaten by Li Changhe to the point of escaping East Lake City?” Chen Yiming suddenly thought of something.

He immediately became excited, feeling that he had discovered a clue. “I wonder if there’s any information about this in the Mantis Snake Sword School’s library. I’ll go take a look at it once the sky turns bright,” Chen Yiming decided.

Early in the morning, in the library in the Mantis Snake Sword School headquarters,

Mu Yuerong held a small booklet in front of her. Every few minutes, she would reach out and flip the page, seriously reading the experiences left behind by a senior.

She had light makeup on and her long hair was draped naturally over her shoulders.

She was dressed in a pure white blouse with a long skirt of the same color under it. It was aesthetically pleasing, but not too revealing.

‘Good morning, Senior Sister.”

Chen Yiming entered and saw Mu Yuerong, who had arrived earlier than him.

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a little embarrassed. He had interrupted his senior sister’s studying.

“So it’s you.” Mu Yuerong looked up and recognized her junior brother, who had unintentionally seen her stretching in the past.

“Senior Sister, you’re so hardworking,” Chen Yiming said awkwardly, not knowing what else to say.

Mu Yuerong lowered her head and continued to read the book, ignoring Chen Yiming.

“Did I offend Senior Sister the last time because I saw her figure?” Chen Yiming thought to himself.

There was no way to verify this, and he did not dare to ask.

He snapped out of his daze and walked to the bookshelf to search for the information he wanted.

Chen Yiming flipped through a book called “Conjectures on the Limits of the Apprentice Realm”.

The content of the book was reviewing the limits of the strength of each muscle from the body during each level of transformation within the disciple realm.

The human body had a total of 639 muscles. The strength of the moves in the martial arts techniques depended on the combined strength of the muscles and the average strength across all the muscles.

“Interesting, but it’s not what I need,” Chen Yiming thought to himself.

Ten minutes later, he found a book titled “Experiences From Breaking Through the Stages in the Disciple Realm”.

He skimmed through the book briefly. The contents of the book introduced methods that the senior used to get external forces to promote his body’s development.

Before he had undergone three transformations, he ate mutant beast meat five times a day and trained until he was completely exhausted, then rested for five minutes before continuing to train until he was completely exhausted. He then repeated this process until he could not even lift his hands.

After the third transformation, he entered the wilderness to fight the mutant beasts and trained by fighting for his life. This sent signals to his muscle cells to become stronger for the sake of survival.

After undergoing six transformations, he hugged a huge rock and sank to the bottom of a rapidly flowing river, resisting the flowing water in an environment of high pressure.

“If you plan to speed up the tempering process, you can give it a try,” Chen Yiming agreed with the book’s contents.

Three hours later, Chen Yiming left the library, but he had not found what he wanted.

After some thought, he understood something.

The method to break through to the warrior realm was the core of the school. Only core disciples who were favored by the head of the school would be taught about it.

He had thought too simply previously. There was no information about breaking through to the warrior realm in the library.

In the main hall of the headquarters of the school,

Chen Yiming had just exited from the staircase when he saw his third senior brother, Teng Zhihui, sparring with his fifth senior sister, Mu Yuerong.

Teng Zhihui was only defending and did not take the initiative to attack. Clearly, he was letting Mu Yuerong test out her moves.

“Junior Brother Chen, when did you come? Why didn’t I see you earlier?”

Mu Yuerong stopped when she saw Chen Yiming. Teng Zhihui also stopped and waved at him.

“1 encountered some difficulties during my training, so I came to the library early in the morning to read up on some information.” Chen Yiming walked over and stood beside the two of them.

“If you have any questions, just ask me, your senior brother. We all went through this before, so don’t be shy,” Teng Zhihui said bluntly.

“Thank you, Senior Brother. I happen to have a question that I don’t understand,” Chen Yiming said with a smile.

He had not prepared a reason to start a conversation. He didn’t expect Teng

Zhihui to be so enthusiastic. Coincidentally, Mu Yuerong was feeling tired from the fight, so the three of them sat on the sofa in the living room and had a chat. “Senior Brother, I recently mastered two new sword techniques. I was feeling a little bored and thought of something. I’ve been practicing the Mantis Snake Sword Technique for more than half a year. Other than the missing part for breaking through to the warrior realm, are there any other ways to improve this sword technique?” Chen Yiming asked.

He did not ask directly about the missing parts for cultivation to the warrior realm. Instead, he asked indirectly to see if he could obtain any useful information.

Teng Zhihui was about to speak when Mu Yuerong interrupted him.

“Junior Brother Chen, I know that your understanding of swordsmanship is high, but the most important thing in the disciple realm is to temper your body. You’ve only broken through to the third transformation, so it’s not suitable for you to aim too high,” Mu Yuerong said coldly.

“Senior Sister is right.” Chen Yiming nodded honestly, not daring to say anything else.

“Junior Brother Chen, Senior Sister Mu is right. Don’t think too much about it. Just focus on tempering your body,” Teng Zhihui said seriously.

The two of them didn’t take Chen Yiming’s question seriously. They thought that he had been overthinking because he had learned swordsmanship too easily, so they quickly switched to other topics..
