Borrowing a sword

Chapter 325 The Female Imperial Advisor Arrives in Person
At this very moment, Chu Huaixu's [Physical Strength] has officially reached 8 points!
In an instant, he felt his fists grow even harder.

Of course, it's not just the fist that's hardening.

His health, defense, physical strength, and other attributes have all been significantly enhanced!

"Just as I expected, the more you progress in the later stages, the greater the boost from each additional special attribute point!" Chu Huaixu said with a hint of excitement.

The reason he was able to guess this was simply because he always felt that: comprehension level 9 was still within the human realm, but someone like Xiao Xu with comprehension level 10 felt like he was no longer human!
Not long after officially embarking on the path of cultivation, he was able to complete the incomplete version of the [Six Out of Deficiencies] on his own. Is this even human?
After raising his physique to 8 points, Chu Huaixu now felt that his physical strength was terrifyingly powerful!
"Damn it, won't this make the Emperor drool?" he thought to himself.

With such an exceptional physical body, who could resist the urge to possess it?
Because of his narcissism, he began to empathize with these people: I wouldn't be able to stand it either!

Qin Xuanxiao's small frame is incomparable to ours.

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

"This time I've become at least 30% stronger!"

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

"Besides the significant increase in physical strength, the duration of the body-refining technique should also be extended with the enhancement of my physique," Chu Huaixu thought to himself.

His biggest takeaway from watching the battle between Han Shuangjiang and Qin Xuanxiao today was: the special effects for the main characters in this world are truly off the charts.

Fortunately, I obtained the Body Refining Divine Power from the Heavenly Treasure Chest that day; otherwise, he really wouldn't have any impressive special effects.

This is absolutely unbearable for players.

After all, every version has its own meta, and being strong or not is only temporary, but being cool or not is for a lifetime.

After experiencing the powerful force contained within his physical body, he was very satisfied with the improvements in all aspects.

More importantly, Chu Huaixu will gain 1 free special attribute point if he wins the next match.

By then, you'll be able to raise your Physique stat to 9.

Just thinking about it made him quite excited.

During the two-day rest period, all parties were making final preparations.

The Sword Master at the Sword Sect is giving Geng Tianhe special training.

He opened his own sword domain for him to comprehend.

But how much he can understand in just two days depends entirely on his own comprehension and destiny.

Meanwhile, inside the Prince Rui's residence, Qin Xuanxiao was also diligently cultivating.

The ancestral emperor began to personally provide guidance.

Originally, the most recent "private tutor" was the [Guardian of the Nation] of the Moon Kingdom, who was at the fifth level of the ninth realm.

However, at the behest of the Ancestral Emperor, the Moon Emperor stopped sending the [Guardians of the Nation].

What can he possibly teach at the mere fifth level of the ninth realm?

The Great Perfection of the Ninth Realm is not the same concept as the ordinary Ninth Realm.

At my peak, I could have killed him with a single palm strike!

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

A mysterious and profound power arose within him; this was the spear core that the Ancestral Emperor had created for him!
"Don't be too happy yet, this is just a false situation."

"You still have a long way to go before you can condense a true spear core," the Ancestral Emperor said.

However, in his opinion, you probably won't be able to make it this far.

At this moment, the overall situation is quite bad.

The fact that he was still alive had also become known to the Eastern Mirror Kingdom.

Therefore, time is of the essence.

He will find a way to help Qin Xuanxiao win the top spot.

Once we reach the second level of the Origin Spirit Realm, he will directly help us fight.

Once the Ancestral Emperor refines the power of origin, he will immediately attempt to possess the body, and there will be no time to wait for him to cultivate to the seventh realm.

As for the four strands of divine consciousness that are suspected to have fallen into Chu Huaixu's hands, we'll find a way to get them back later.

If we can seize by force, then we will seize by force.

If all else fails, then we can negotiate terms.

What could the vast Moon Kingdom possibly be unable to provide?
"A great calamity is approaching, and my restoration of cultivation will ultimately be beneficial to the overall situation."

After a while, he asked Qin Xuanxiao, "Is the elixir I asked you to have refined ready?"

"Ancestor, it has been prepared for a long time," Qin Xuanxiao replied.

"Alright, in the next competition, if you draw Xu Ziqing or Chu Huaixu, take one pill before going on stage. At that time, you only need to relax and not resist. I will win this competition for you." He said calmly.

"Yes, Xuanxiao thanks the Ancestor!" Qin Xuanxiao said excitedly.

But something almost imperceptible flashed in the depths of his eyes.

It was a hint of wariness, and a deep sense of apprehension.

Two days passed quickly.

Xiao Xu has been in seclusion for the past two days.

Even now, his cultivation level is only at the sixth level of the third realm.

He was also the only contestant among the top four, or even among the top thirty-two, who did not have the third realm of perfect perfection.

This point has been widely discussed and appreciated.

Xu Ziqing has consumed a lot of pills in the past two days in an attempt to break through the bottleneck, but in the end it was all in vain.

Although he possesses an innate divine body for healing, his spiritual embryo's aptitude is ridiculously poor, which inevitably hinders his progress.

Chu Huaixu sometimes wondered, "Under normal circumstances, is it possible for Xiao Xu to cultivate to the seventh realm or higher in his lifetime?"

This made him realize why his master had to fight the fourth level of the Origin Spirit Realm, and why Shen Man had died inside.

And so, the semi-finals of the East-West Continental Tournament officially began.

The monastery's training ground was packed with spectators.

Some cultivators, lacking the authority to enter or leave, would gather nearby and use their divine sense to investigate the situation at the training grounds. The monastery had not set up any arrays to isolate their divine senses.

This is, after all, one of the biggest events in the East and West, so we should give everyone a greater sense of participation.

On the high platform, many cultivation giants had already taken their seats long ago.

The old imperial advisor, Ming Xuanji, is still the same as always, arriving exceptionally early.

Chu Huaixu's opinion on this was: "A person with one foot in the grave doesn't sleep much."

As the saying goes: Why sleep so much before death, when you will surely sleep forever after death.

Anyway, this old man is probably not far from his final rest.

However, it wasn't long before a disturbance broke out in the crowd.

A burly man clad in golden armor, looking somewhat like a majestic general, slowly descended from the sky.

"The Protector of the Nation has arrived!"

"The Protector of the Nation has actually come in person!"

This person is none other than Xiahou Yue, the strongest person in the Moon Kingdom on the surface, a great cultivator at the fifth level of the ninth realm, and the "Guardian of the Moon Kingdom".

The tradition among all the protectors of the Moon Kingdom is that they change their names to include the character "Moon".

The surname remains unchanged.

Because becoming a protector of the nation is the glory of your entire clan!

To say that the family genealogy is on a separate page is an understatement.

Upon seeing this person, Chu Yinyin and the others couldn't help but frown.

After all, before the preliminary rounds of the East-West Continent Grand Competition, it was he who used his power to suppress others from above, preventing Nangong Yue and Chu Yinyin from stopping Niu Yuanshan from committing suicide.

"I'm so angry! This damn thing is so arrogant!" Chu Yinyin cursed inwardly.

Judging from his appearance, Xiahou Yueguang truly possesses the imposing presence of a renowned general who has fought on the battlefield.

The golden armor he wore was a symbol of his status.

He sat there with an imposing air, and he certainly looked very powerful.

Moreover, after Xiahou Yue arrived by air, he sat directly on a chair. After sitting down, he turned his head and nodded slightly to the Sword Master and the others as a simple greeting.

This is how this person has always acted.

But as the strongest in the Moon Kingdom on the surface, standing at the pinnacle of the nation, he certainly has the right to look down upon the world.

After a while, a streak of blue light flew over from not far away.

The visitor was Zhuge Boyue, the "Mountain Lord" of the monastery's back mountain, a powerful expert at the third level of the ninth realm.

However, this person is already quite old and doesn't have much time left; it's estimated that he doesn't have many more years to live.

The Moon Kingdom is indeed facing a shortage of high-end combat power.

In fact, Ming Xuanji was originally highly regarded and expected to take over the position of "Mountain Lord".

However, this person was obsessed with divination and attempted to perform divine duties in place of a mortal.

Although he was younger than Jiang Zhi, he looked older than the mountain lord.

It remains to be seen who will go first.

Especially after the emergence of the variable Chu Huaixu, it seems that Ming Xuanji has a greater chance of "winning".

Besides him, there is another major troublemaker, namely Cheng Yuyan, the leader of the "Wrong Path".

This guy is sitting on the platform now.

Although he was from the Moon Kingdom, he spent most of his time in the Mirror Kingdom of the Eastern Continent.

Moreover, he was a rogue cultivator with no ties to him.

Overall, his stance is relatively neutral.

Furthermore, this person enjoys manipulating people's minds and is difficult to control.

He's a completely disobedient person.

The Moon Kingdom's attitude towards him was that they didn't expect him to do much, as long as he didn't work for the Eastern Continent Mirror Kingdom.

Overall, however, Cheng Yuyan still leans towards the Yue Kingdom when it comes to major issues.

Just before the lottery officially began, another woman arrived from the sky.

Her appearance immediately caused a stir in the crowd.

"Oh! What brings the Imperial Advisor here?"

"Isn't the Imperial Advisor someone who has always been detached from worldly affairs?"

"How come even the Imperial Advisor has been alerted!"

The female imperial advisor, Lin Qingci, flew over and sat down next to the old imperial advisor, Ming Xuanji.

She was still barefoot, yet she looked dignified and elegant.

Wearing that imperial advisor's robe only added to his air of unapproachability.

Even though she is actually quite voluptuous and mature.

It seems that to harbor impure thoughts towards her would be blasphemy!
When the female imperial advisor appeared, Chu Huaixu couldn't help but take a deep look at her, and couldn't help but recall the enchanting scene at the Imperial Pool that day.

The emotional expression on her face that day, her languid and dreamy eyes, her moist and slightly parted red lips, and the "muddy" and thickened look on her body all formed a stark contrast to her current state.

As soon as Lin Qingci sat down, her gaze immediately fell on Chu Huaixu.

She made no attempt to hide her feelings and simply stared at him intently.

The draw has officially begun.
