Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 107 Luo Qingchan, The True Meaning of the Sword
After a moment of reflection, Su Huan changed the subject and asked:
"Young man, when do you plan to go to the Sword Palace?"

Su Yu replied casually:

"anytime."

"If possible, go as soon as possible."

Is there any explanation for this?

The second brother nodded and said:
There is some truth to that.

"Although the standard for entering the Sword Palace is to be under 30 years old and not have passed the first Heavenly Tribulation, judging from past examples, the younger the person, the easier the assessment is. It seems that the Sword Palace's inheritance prefers young newcomers with outstanding swordsmanship talent."

"You've only been cultivating for less than two years and you've already grasped the concept of sword light splitting; your talent is truly exceptional."

"But if your swordsmanship doesn't improve significantly in another year, the difficulty of the assessment will increase dramatically with age, and the overall difficulty will naturally increase as well."

"I understand."

"I'll go in a few days."

"There's no need to rush. The standard is calculated on a yearly basis. It doesn't matter if you go before this year. We're only halfway through this year. After deducting the time for finding the location of the Sword Palace, you still have four or five months to prepare."

At this point, Su Huan laughed heartily:

"Let's put that aside for now and go on a blind date first."

My second brother is also very decisive; he immediately arranged a blind date when I suggested it.

Half an hour later, Su Yu sat in a private room on the second floor of the Giant Wooden Divine Ship, staring blankly outside.

There was a slight knock on the door, and a petite and adorable young woman pushed it open and entered.

"Su Yu, right? I'm Li Qin."

"Hello, I'm Su Yu, please have a seat."

His gaze swept over the girl without leaving a trace. The girl in front of him was extremely beautiful. She was not tall but had a graceful figure. She was petite and delicate, and the word "petite and delicate" was perfectly embodied in her.

According to the second brother, the girl came from a good family; she was the younger sister of one of his junior brothers, had excellent aptitude, and had also become a disciple of Mingsu Palace.

The two sat down. Su Yu remained silent, while the young woman looked him over with a graceful and poised demeanor.

Just as he was about to speak, the girl spoke first:
"You are a fellow disciple of Su Huan, and also a formal disciple of the Xuanzhen Immortal Sect. You have a good status, decent looks, and a strong physique. You initially meet my criteria for a partner."

“If we are together, we will need to live overseas for a long time and cannot live with your second brother. We need a separate cave dwelling. Whether we buy it or build it, it is fine. The property rights shall be in both our names.”

"Of course, whether it's buying or building a new one, I'll contribute half the money."

"In addition, you need to have a certain status and assets. If you want to develop in the guild for a long time, I hope you can become a squad leader within three years and a battalion leader within ten years. I believe that with the help of your second brother and sister-in-law, this will not be a big problem for you."

"Of course, my brother will also lend you a hand."

"Besides that, if we are together, each of us will keep our own money and not interfere with each other, but you will have to pay for our daily living expenses."

"These are the few items for now, what do you think?"

Su Yu bit her lip. These conditions were too normal. She didn't make demands; she gave equal consideration to all conditions. She was a rare girl with very sound values.

But
He really doesn't want to be in a relationship so early.

He scratched his head, his mind racing as he tried to think of a tactful way to refuse.

Li Qin was extremely intelligent; seeing his hesitation, she knew what was going on and asked:
Are you dissatisfied with me? Or do you have a girl you like?

Su Yu shook his head and said:
"To be honest, you are very beautiful and have a great personality. I don't have a girl I like, but I don't want to get married so soon. Right now, I just want to focus on my cultivation and become a wandering immortal as soon as possible. Only then will I consider this matter."

Li Qin wasn't angry at his words; instead, her eyes lit up with appreciation, and she said:
"If that's the case, I respect your decision. Let's add each other as friends first."

"Row."

After chatting for a while, the girl left.

My second brother sent me a message asking:

"How did the chat go?"

He gave an irrelevant answer:

"There shouldn't be any more, right?"

"There is still one."

"The one coming later is no ordinary person. She's come from the main island of Shenzhou for training. I heard she comes from an extraordinary background. If you can win her over, it's worth a top-tier opportunity."

"Brother, I really don't want to talk about it right now."

Su Huan paused for a moment, then sighed and said:

"Little brother, if you really don't want to, I won't force you. But don't reject them all. If word gets out that you don't like any of them, people will think you're too picky. Let's talk about one first, and we'll see if it works out later."

"Ok."

At this moment, my second sister-in-law also sent a message:
"Young man, this is the last one, there's no need to insist."

"???"

As the door opened slightly, Su Yu looked up and was greeted by a beautiful face that seemed untouched by the world. Her skin was as white as snow and as smooth as jade. Her eyebrows were like emerald feathers, her eyes were like autumn water, her nose was straight and high, her lips were rosy red, and her black hair cascaded down to her waist.

Su Yu had seen many beautiful women, including Chu Xinyue and Xiao Qingli, who were both stunning beauties, but none of them could compare to this woman in terms of looks.

He was extremely surprised that such a stunning beauty would come to a blind date.
The woman sat down in front of him and said in a clear voice:
"My name is Luo Qingchan. I owe Sister Siyi a favor, which is why I'm here to see you. I've heard that you have exceptional swordsmanship talent?"

"generally."

"hypocritical!"

"cough"

Su Yu was caught off guard.

"Okay, not bad."

"let me see."

"What do you think?"

"Go out and practice your skills."

"Now?"

"Now."

"Please!" Luo Qingchan got up and left, and he immediately followed.

They emerged from the ship's deck and rose into the air, where the two stood facing each other.

The girl turned around, and her aura changed drastically. An extremely sharp aura rushed towards them, like a celestial sword with its sharp edge standing in the air.

"Sword cultivator!"

Luo Qingchan asked:
What grade is your flying sword?

"Two sixth-tier flying swords."

She nodded and took out two flying swords to begin refining them.

A few young girls opened their mouths and swallowed the two newly refined flying swords. They reached out and grabbed at them, and two barely perceptible sword lights pierced through the air.

Su Yu immediately activated Thunderous Might, and two sword lights pierced the air. In the next instant, hundreds of sword energies in the air shattered, followed by a dense series of clanging sounds. The four flying swords intersected back and forth, forming two circles of sword energy tornadoes of different colors, with the crisp sound of metal clashing together.

The two swordsmen's duel immediately attracted the attention of the guild members on the Giant Wooden Divine Ship, and soon a group of people gathered to watch.

Su Huan stood side by side with his wife, his hand on his chin, a smile on his face:
"It seems that I have caught Miss Qingchan's attention."

However, Second Sister-in-law Meng Siyi shook her head and said:

“It’s just a sword fight, nothing special. He’ll only get her attention if he can surpass Qingchan in swordsmanship.”

"That's too difficult."

"Highly unlikely."

Meng Siyi commented:

"Although I have already grasped the techniques of condensing sword into threads and differentiating sword light, I have only just begun to understand them and am no match for Qingchan, who is born with a sword-wielding body."

"Born with a sword-wielding physique"

Su Huan looked on with a sigh.

In mid-air, Su Yu felt immense pressure after only a few seconds of swords clashing. Both swords were of the same grade, sixth-tier treasures, but he could sense that the girl's swordsmanship was significantly stronger than his own.

Putting everything else aside, her skill in condensing sword energy into threads must have reached a level of perfection or even higher.

Su Yu has now made some progress in the third level of condensing sword energy into threads, and the sword energy has been condensed to the width of an inch.

However, Luo Qingchan's sword energy had been compressed to a width narrower than a chopstick, clearly indicating that it was a level higher than his.

Furthermore, Su Yu could only produce five separate sword energies each time, while she could produce more than fifty each time, completely overwhelming him.

Fortunately, they were simply competing in swordsmanship, without needing to attack each other's physical bodies. The difference in skill level between the sword lights did not affect the sword fight.

Besides, the power bestowed upon Luo Qingchan's sword was even stronger than his. She certainly didn't have double talent bonuses, so there was only one possibility: her main sword path was either a sect-level or supreme-level inheritance, and at a higher level than his.

The two exchanged blows for less than ten seconds, and Su Yu was left with only the ability to defend and no power to retaliate, barely managing to hold on.

"Outrageous!"

This was the first time Su Yu had encountered a peer who was far superior to him in swordsmanship. The immense power of each sword strike overlapped, leaving him powerless to fight back.

However, he soon realized that it wasn't just that the opponent was far stronger than him, but rather that they were completely outmatched.

"break!"

The girl gave a soft shout, and Su Yu felt a sharp sword intent surge into his body through the Thunderous Twin Swords, like a flying sword piercing through his flesh and blood and entering his sea of ​​consciousness, slashing at his soul.

"The true meaning of swordsmanship?"

The sword energy did not harm him; the Zhenhai Pearl blocked the sword intent that was attacking his soul, but the blow to Su Yu's will was unprecedented.

He withdrew his thunderous power and looked at the girl as if she were a monster.

"Holy crap, the true meaning of swordsmanship?"

"real or fake?"

"Isn't that too exaggerated?"

Luo Qingchan also sheathed her twin swords and said crisply:

"I heard you've only been training for less than two years. Considering the time you've been training, your swordsmanship talent is quite good. But why can't I sense your sword heart?"

"Kenshin? What Kenshin?"

Luo Qingchan looked puzzled:
"Without your own sword heart, how can you comprehend the various realms of swordsmanship?"

"That's how you figured it out. Just practice more and you'll understand."

The girl's mouth was slightly open, her face full of confusion.

"Aren't you a sword cultivator? How could you not know about sword heart?"

Su Yu shook his head and said:
"I am not a sword cultivator. I mainly cultivate internal energy and mental techniques. Swordsmanship is only a secondary practice."

"What a waste of his talent in swordsmanship."

Luo Qingchan left after saying those words. Su Yu landed, and her second brother immediately came over and asked:

"How about it?"

He spread his hands:
"I don't know, she didn't say anything."

He paused for a moment, then noticed a new friend request on the communication channel and said:
"But she added me as a friend."

At this moment, the second sister-in-law came over and heard the last sentence, and said:
"It seems your swordsmanship talent has caught her eye. Find a time to ask her out, whether it's to practice swordsmanship or level up."

He shook his head and said:

"She didn't seem interested in me."

"It's okay if you don't like it; it's good to be friends."

"All right!"

Su Yu shrugged indifferently, as long as she wasn't forced to go on blind dates again.

With that, the blind date plan of her second brother and sister-in-law came to an end. There was no need to pay attention to these things anymore, and Su Yu continued her leveling-up journey.
