I manage female characters in all the heavens.

"During the medicinal bath, my internal strength increased more than thirty times by refining the medicinal power."

"If we consider that initial wisp of internal energy as 1 unit, then my current internal energy is approximately 35 units!"

Based on her previous Qi cultivation efficiency, this saved her about half a year!

It may not seem like much, but that's because the main function of Fulong Bone-Sculpting Soup is to enhance bone structure and improve the efficiency of Qi cultivation.

Now that the medicinal bath has just ended, some of the medicinal effects are still remaining in the body, so the efficiency of the cultivation just now will certainly not be able to be maintained in the future.

Yue Lingshan roughly estimated that once the medicinal effects were fully absorbed, his Qi refining efficiency would be fixed at two repetitions per minute, around 100 repetitions per day.

That translates to 0.5 units per day, more than double the previous 0.24 units per day!

Such an effect is already astonishing, fundamentally changing the speed at which a person accumulates internal strength, enough to benefit them for a lifetime!

"As expected of the former leader of the Five Mountains Alliance, the Huashan Sect may have declined, but even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. If this Fulong Bone-Sculpting Soup were to leak out, it could cause a bloodbath."

"They have a profound cultural heritage!"

Three days later, on the first day of June, the monthly martial arts competition for Huashan disciples was held.

Yue Buqun stipulated that the disciples of Mount Hua must undergo a monthly assessment on the first day of each month. Sometimes it was a written test, and sometimes it was a martial arts test, in which the disciples would compete against each other.

This is the martial arts exam.

Compared to written exams, people actually prefer martial arts exams, since they are all martial artists after all, and disliking test-taking is a professional quality.

However, today, people are unusually more inclined to prefer written exams.

Because once the martial arts exam begins, it will give the junior sister a legitimate opportunity to beat people up.

"Eighth Senior Brother, please enlighten me."

Yue Lingshan respectfully bowed to Ying Bailuo, then raised her sword and pointed it at him.

Sweat dripped from Ying Bailuo's forehead, and his hand holding the sword gradually became soaked.

Eighth Brother's hands sweat a lot.

He couldn't help but be nervous. In just five days, "Yue Lingshan" had completely overturned the impression she had left on them over the past ten years.

That wasn't a mischievous and delicate junior sister at all, but an invincible female demon!

Just by standing there, he seemed to be enveloped by a terrifying aura, which gradually made his hands and feet feel cold.

I hit my junior sister, seriously?

I haven't even developed my internal energy yet!

"Ah, whatever!" He went ahead anyway.

Ding!

Yue Lingshan casually knocked Ying Bailuo's sword away with a single stroke, thus winning the duel.

"Eighth Senior Brother, the dishes."

The female demon not only killed him, but also broke his spirit. Ying Bailu knelt down and wept bitterly, his soul once again tormented.

But as long as he can get through this ordeal, it will benefit him for the rest of his life!

"Next match, Yue Lingshan vs. Laudenuo." Yue Buqun remained unmoved and announced the start of the next match.

The fellow disciples carried Ying Bailu off the field, and Lao Denuo walked to the opposite side of Yue Lingshan with a solemn expression.

"Junior sister, please."

Yue Lingshan's attitude also became more serious, as Lao Denuo was clearly not a match for the other senior brothers.

Lao Denuo was a trained martial artist who had already roamed the martial arts world before joining Huashan, and he was older than Yue Buqun.

After becoming Yue Buqun's disciple, he practiced Huashan martial arts for more than ten years, and his strength improved even further. Even if he did not use the shady Songshan martial arts, he could be considered a third-rate martial artist in the martial arts world.

In terms of swordsmanship, Yue Lingshan is confident that she can surpass Laudenuo, because that depends on talent.

However, internal strength requires time to accumulate, and her few days of cultivation obviously cannot catch up with Laudenuo's decades of practice.

This is an unprecedented enemy, arguably the strongest foe Yue Lingshan has ever faced in her life.

She adjusted her mind and, with each breath, a small amount of internal energy circulated throughout her body, giving her powerful explosive force.

She executed the move "The Phoenix Arrives" with a smooth, almost imperceptible pre-attack, demonstrating her exceptional control over swordsmanship.

A glint flashed in Yue Buqun's eyes: "Excellent! The sword strikes like a rainbow, yet it retains its strength. The force twists and turns, containing a variety of variations. The sword light is dazzling and graceful, truly like a phoenix coming to pay homage!"

"Shan'er's Huashan swordsmanship has reached a high level. With just this swordsmanship, even seven or eight strong men would not be able to get close!"

Ning Zhongze, however, was worried: "Martial arts competition and actual combat are different. She can perform perfectly in a martial arts competition, but how she performs in a real combat depends on herself."

The Huashan School is not like Shaolin or Wudang; it doesn't care about those superficial things. The purpose of learning martial arts is to compete and fight, and to win in battle.

As a bridgehead against the Sun Moon Cult, the Five Mountains Sword Sects never shied away from discussing these issues, even Ning Zhongze did.

She had confidence in Yue Lingshan's swordsmanship, but ultimately worried that a little girl like her would be at a loss in a real fight.

Yue Buqun recalled the so-called instinctive sword strike a few days ago and felt that Ning Zhong was worrying unnecessarily.

In terms of experience, Shan'er might have plenty.

Killing people in dreams to hone one's experience—I'm so envious!

Faced with Yue Lingshan's magnificent sword strike, Laudenuo responded with the image of a pine tree welcoming its guests.

His more profound internal strength granted him superior eyesight and speed, easily neutralizing the power of the Phoenix's Arrival and sealing off any further developments.

Yue Lingshan's gaze was calm as she instantly switched to other moves, attempting to break through Laudenuo's defense.

The longswords clashed in the air, producing a crisp, ringing sound, and soon more than a dozen moves had passed.

No matter how Yue Lingshan changed her moves, and her sword flashed like rain, Lao Denuo was able to deal with it calmly, accurately blocking, parrying, deflecting, and repelling each sword!

Amidst the flashing sword light, Laudenau still had the strength to utter a word of praise:

"Junior sister's swordsmanship is amazing at such a young age. If I weren't decades older and have much deeper internal strength, I would probably have been defeated long ago."

"How about we call a truce and consider it a draw?"

The purpose of the assessment is to understand each person's level, not to rank them.

"Yue Lingshan" has already fully demonstrated her swordsmanship; there is no point in continuing the fight.

Losing would be shameful, while winning would offend his junior sister, so Laudenuo naturally didn't want to continue fighting.

Yue Lingshan sighed inwardly: "The gap is too big. There is no possibility of killing him by taking advantage of an 'accident' during the martial arts competition. Let's end it here."

She withdrew and voluntarily conceded defeat, ending the competition.

She then fought Linghu Chong and suffered a crushing defeat.

In terms of swordsmanship, Linghu Chong was not actually much different from her, but his internal energy cultivation was far superior.

Even Laudenau would probably be no match for Linghu Chong at this moment.

That's why he's the main character. Even with his lazy and half-hearted training, he managed to surpass Laudenau, who was almost 60, at the age of 20. That's terrifying.

That night, Laudenuo secretly sent a letter by carrier pigeon to the Songshan Sect, which read:

"Yue Buqun's daughter, Yue Lingshan, possesses exceptional beauty; it is recommended that she be nipped in the bud."

In his eyes, Linghu Chong, who was 20 years old and had surpassed him, was nothing special; Yue Lingshan, whose swordsmanship had reached a high level at the age of 12, was the real formidable enemy.

Mount Song will not allow such a powerful guy to exist on Mount Hua; he must be eliminated!

Several miles away, Yue Buqun, who had intercepted the carrier pigeon, looked at the words on the note and sneered:

"Strangle Shan'er?"

He directly copied the handwriting and rewrote a note, then stuffed it back into the paper:

"Lin Pingzhi, the young head of the Fuwei Escort Agency, has exceptional talent; it is recommended that he be nipped in the bud."

Lin Pingzhi: ?

Upon receiving the message, Zuo Lengchan opened the note and was immediately taken aback.

"He's on Mount Hua, yet he's got information about Fujian. Is Laudenuo that capable?"

This is a genius!

Chapter 9 The Advantage Lies With Me!

Cold, hard...

Song Yi slowly woke up, only to find the bed beneath him as hard as iron, causing him pain.

Did I fall to the ground?

"Hey, you sissy, you're awake."

Song Yihu's body trembled, and he suddenly opened his eyes.

The unfamiliar ceiling, devoid of any antique charm, was filled with the cold, hard texture of reinforced concrete.

"I'm back?!"

He touched his body to make sure he was back.

He was a pampered young lady from Mount Hua who lived a life of luxury before going to sleep, but after waking up, he was back to being a poor, middle-aged loser. Only he knew the disappointment he felt.

However, he remembered that before he started taking care of the childcare, he slipped on a banana peel on his way to buy groceries. Where did he fall?

And what's this about effeminate men?

He grabbed the blond guy who called him effeminate by the collar, lifted him up, slammed him against the wall, and politely inquired:

"Hello, where is this place? Who are you? Why are you calling me sissy?"

Huang Mao was terrified. He never expected that the guy who was all effeminate and crying just yesterday would wake up one day and be able to hang him on the wall, and immediately answer all his questions.

After figuring out what had happened, Song Yi's mind was trembling.

"Holy crap, when I was taking care of Yue Lingshan, she also took care of me?!"

Based on what Huang Mao said, as well as some of his own reasoning and some faint memories remaining in his body, Song Yi pieced together the truth.

Yesterday, on his way to buy groceries, Song Yi activated his superpowers, causing Yue Lingshan to take over his body.
