Salty Fish Diary:

Today I took out my old laptop, cleaned out the dust, and then used the built-in program to restore it to factory settings...

It's stuck at 6% and hasn't moved for three hours... This is outrageous...

Chapter 337 Not a single sword tablet has been comprehended.

"Young man, your craftsmanship is impeccable."

"Young man, which mountain are you from? I've never seen you before. Are you new here?"

"Young man, don't be shy. I see you wandering around aimlessly. You're trying to comprehend the Heavenly Absolute Stele, but you don't seem to know how, do you?"

"We brothers will teach you. To comprehend the Heaven-Slaying Stele, you must have a calm mind, understand?"

In front of the sixteenth Heavenly Absolute Stele, Su Li sat on either side of a muscular man.

Su Li, sitting amidst these muscular men, was caught in a dilemma.

Su Li had just finished eating skewers and drinking beer with them.

And in order to repay Su Li.

They told Su Li the secrets to deciphering the stone tablet.

Although their secret techniques were completely useless to Su Li...

Because Su Li cannot improve his cultivation level through his own efforts; he must receive additional points...

But since they meant well, Su Li could only listen and nod in agreement.

"Alright, kid, you can go up now. We need to continue studying the sword stele."

The burly man named Benboba patted Su Li's butt.

"Kid, keep it up! Even though you're not the most gifted, we brothers have high hopes for you..."

Su Li: "..."

After thanking him, Su Li quickly ran away.

Otherwise, Su Li felt that her chrysanthemum might be in danger.

At the seventeenth stone tablet, Su Li encountered a female sword cultivator named Ruolan.

This swordsman has obsessive-compulsive disorder and is a germaphobe.

Su Li had been keeping his distance from her, but the female sword cultivator still sniffed, catching the whiff of various barbecue spices emanating from Su Li...

Immediately afterwards, the female sword cultivator blocked Su Li's path.

Ruolan insisted that Su Li take a bath in the nearby spring.

Su Li felt quite embarrassed, and she said that if Su Li didn't take a shower, she wouldn't let him leave.

With no other option, Su Li finally took a shower.

When Su Li finished washing, she found that the clothes she had taken off had already been washed by the female sword cultivator.

Not only did she wash it, but this senior sister also used her sword energy to dry it, neatly folding it to one side without a single wrinkle.

Before the eighteenth sword tablet stood a blind swordsman. The sword he wielded was a curved sword; to be honest, Su Li thought it looked more like a scimitar...

In front of the nineteenth sword stele, there is a pair of twin sisters.

It's not a daffodil...

It's a night-blooming cereus...

The two sisters, who weighed a combined 360 pounds, were feasting and had lunch with Su Li...

The twentieth Heavenly Absolute Stele... the twenty-first Heavenly Absolute Stele...

It wasn't until Su Li passed by the twenty-sixth Heavenly Absolute Stele that things changed.

A man sat cross-legged in front of the Heavenly Absolute Stele.

This man sported Mr. Lu's signature sexy mustache.

This disciple is currently the strongest one in comprehending the Heavenly Absolute Stele.

The twenty-seventh Heavenly Stele is now deserted.

This man is Liu Wu, the direct disciple of Jianming Peak, and is hailed as one of only two candidates, besides Ling Xue, to succeed as the sect leader of Henyi Sect.

Carrying a flask of wine, Su Li glanced at the guy and continued walking uphill.

"You're strange..."

Just as Su Li was about to step onto the stairs, the cultivator's voice came from behind her.

Su Li turned around, and his eyes slowly opened. This was the first time Su Li had ever seen him open his eyes.

"What's so strange?" Su Li bowed and asked with a smile.

"I can sense that your physical constitution is actually quite ordinary, but you exude a strong sword aura and sword intent, and even have a hint of the demeanor of a master."

I can sense your relentless dedication and tireless pursuit of the art of swordsmanship.

Su Li: "..."

"So, I find it even stranger."

You climb the mountain several times a day along the thirty-six Heavenly Steles.

I think you're meant to comprehend swordsmanship, but you don't seem to have any interest in it at all.

"You're not a swordsman, so why are you running around all day?"

"Uh...maybe I'm just exercising," Su Li said with a smile.

"Perhaps..."

Liu Wu closed her eyes again.

"Junior brother, what kind of scenery is there up there?"

Su Li shook his head: "There are only a few sword tablets."

"Only a few sword tablets?"

Liu Wu opened her eyes again, a glimmer of light shining through her bewildered gaze.

"Been taught a lesson."

Liu Wu stood up, bowed to Su Li, and then fell silent, entering a state of enlightenment...

"..."

Su Li had no idea what had happened.

Did I say something profound?

No, not at all...

These really are the remaining few sword tablets...

Su Li shook her head, stopped worrying about it, and continued climbing.

Just as Su Li came down from the mountaintop and walked to Zhao Lingxue's side, suddenly, the pervasive sword energy enveloped Zhao Lingxue's entire body!

Immediately afterwards, a beam of light shot into the sky.

At the foot of the mountain, Zhao Lingxue opened her eyes.

In just four days, Zhao Lingxue comprehended the first Heavenly Absolute Stele, breaking the record of the Henyi Sect.

"Pig's hoof..."

Lingxue looked at Su Li in a daze, as if she had just woken up from a dream.

"Yes, it's me. How are you feeling?"

Su Li handed over a bottle of water.

“It feels quite strange…” Lingxue frowned slightly, “a strange feeling that is hard to describe.”

"ah......"

Suddenly, Lingxue jumped up and threw herself into Su Li's arms, tightly gripping his collar.

"You big jerk, how many days has it been? Are you alright? You weren't injured while you were studying the Heavenly Absolute Stele, were you?"

"Fortunately, only four days have passed, and I haven't even gone to study the sword stele yet."

Su Li smiled and wanted to rub Zhao Lingxue's head, but then thought the gesture was too intimate, so she refrained.

"Oh~" Zhao Lingxue nodded, a visible hint of disappointment flashing in the girl's eyes.

"Su Li, I'm sorry..." Zhao Lingxue lowered her head, her eyes filled with self-reproach.

"I'm sorry? Why?"

"I originally wanted to stay with you, but once I started studying the sword monument, I couldn't leave."

And I wanted to secretly teach you after I'd figured it out myself...

Zhao Lingxue's eyes held a hint of confusion.

"But I don't know why, it's like I've forgotten, yet it's also like I haven't forgotten. I don't know how to teach you..."

"Ok?"

Su Li felt a slight doubt.

I've forgotten, yet I haven't forgotten.

Could this sword stele be a form of Tai Chi?

Does forgetting everything mean you've learned it?

"It's fine."

Su Li comforted her.

"Lingxue, you just need to study the sword tablet properly. I'll study it myself."

But that's what Su Li said.

However, by the seventh day, Su Li had not yet comprehended a single sword tablet.

......

Salty Fish Diary:

I have so few monthly votes this month... It's so frustrating... Please, everyone, give me a monthly vote...

It's so humid lately, the weather's been unbearably damp. I was just getting into my writing when suddenly a piece of plaster fell from the ceiling and almost hit me...

Only two days left, why haven't I caught any jellyfish yet?

Chapter 338 Breaking Through the Clouds

"Hey, have you heard? Junior Sister Lingxue only took four days to comprehend the first Heavenly Absolute Stele!"

"I've heard about it, but I've also heard that Junior Sister Lingxue refuses to comprehend the second Heavenly Absolute Stele no matter what."

"Huh? Why?"

"Because of Su Li."

"By the way, how's Su Li doing?"

"What else can happen... I heard that Su Li spends all day walking back and forth on the mountain path with the thirty-six Heavenly Absolute Steles."

"I've heard that too. Su Li is just exercising like he's doing physical training... as if he has no intention of comprehending the sword monument at all."
