Chapter 65: A Tad Bit Small

Xiang Shaoyun willed, and the empty space in his astral cosmos sea appeared in his mind, telling him how much space he had available .

"Huh? It's actually this big now?" Xiang Shaoyun muttered gleefully . He found that the astral cosmos sea was now the size of a head, much larger than its original size . At the very least, it was sufficient to store many medicinal herbs .

"Looks like training the Astral Cosmos Sea Technique is the correct choice . It helps with the medicinal power absorption rate," Xiang Shaoyun said before standing up and ending his short meditation . He then lifted his Lightning Spear .

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The Lightning Spear danced in the air like lightning bolts . With purple qi twirling around the spear, it split the air with an incredible might . Yesterday in the fifth limit room, Xiang Shaoyun had used the Lightning Spear Technique . His mastery over this spear technique had increased, reaching slightly more than 60 percent .

Zi Changhe required him to reach 70 percent mastery, and he was about 5 percent from reaching it . However, he was only taking this long because he hadn't been spending all his time on the spear technique .

Of the various weapons, what Xiang Shaoyun loved most was still the saber . The saber was the overlord among weapons, known as the weapon for the fearless . That was also why Xiang Shaoyun had a soft spot for sabers since young . However, brandishing other weapons such as sword, spear, halberd, and so on still looked rather cool, so Xiang Shaoyun did not mind learning all weapons either .

After practicing the spear technique once, Zi Changhe walked out from a certain corner and praised, "So you've already reached 50 percent mastery . That was unexpectedly fast . Looks like reaching 70 percent mastery won't be that hard for you after all . I don't have anything to teach you anymore . "

Zi Changhe had been greatly shaken after he figured out how freakish Xiang Shaoyun was . He firmly believed that even without his guidance, Xiang Shaoyun would still grow into an outstanding expert .

"That is all thanks to your guidance, senior brother," Xiang Shaoyun said humbly . Although Zi Changhe had not helped him much, he was still the person who had brought Xiang Shaoyun into the Martial Hall Palace . As such, Xiang Shaoyun was very grateful for him .

Zi Changhe smiled . "It’s good that you know to be grateful . " He paused slightly and continued, "Moving on, you will be able to get anything you want so long as the Martial Hall Palace can provide it . In the coming half year, I hope you can focus on increasing your strength . A grand event will be held in half a year, and I hope you can win glory for Martial Hall Palace during the event . "

Right as Xiang Shaoyun was about to reply, someone else appeared outside the courtyard .

"Lu Xiaoqing?" Xiang Shaoyun cried out joyfully when he saw the newcomer . Then, he ignored his senior brother and jogged outside . Zi Changhe cursed inwardly when he saw that, What a typical guy, valuing chicks over bros!

He left tactfully .

It had been quite some time since Xiang Shaoyun had last seen Lu Xiaoqing . She looked slimmer than before, and the previous tenderness on her face had lessened to be replaced by a tenacious look . This change made her look even more attractive than before . She was dressed in a green, body-hugging outfit, one that showed off her hourglass figure .

"Shaoyun!" Lu Xiaoqing called out to the approaching Xiang Shaoyun; her eyes rippled with tenderness . For some reason, she addressed Xiang Shaoyun differently now, and this new form of address was much more affectionate than previously .

The other day, she had left running after Xiang Shaoyun had berated her . But after leaving and thinking back about it, she finally understood that Xiang Shaoyun was only doing that for her sake . In truth, Xiang Shaoyun was simply trying to put her out of harm’s way . That was why he had scolded her away . But she only realized that after quite a while .

Upon realizing that, she rushed back to the Martial Hall Palace at the fastest speed she could and told her master, the eleventh elder, He Yinghua, about it . But when she returned to the ambush location with her master, Xiang Shaoyun was nowhere to be found .

Subsequently, after Zi Changhe returned, her master and Zi Changhe went to the Wu Clan for Xiang Shaoyun . However, they returned empty handed . She thought that Xiang Shaoyun was dead for sure, and she had been grieving over him .

Recently, she had been in secluded cultivation . Only today when she had ended the seclusion did she find out that Xiang Shaoyun had returned safely . It caused her to be wild with joy . Unbeknown to her, he had already occupied a spot in her heart . Now, she finally saw him again . The confidence and grace he exuded had only grown after all this time . Gazing at him, she fell into a slight reverie .

But she still needed to maintain the virtue of a young lady; thus, she resisted her urge to pounce into his arms . Xiang Shaoyun was unaware of all that . He only wanted to thank her properly . She was someone who had not abandoned him even during the most dangerous moment, a proof that she was someone worth trusting, a friend he could trust his back with .

"Tsk tsk, it has been only a month, and you have grown even prettier," Xiang Shaoyun couldn't help but praise Lu Xiaoqing when he got near her .

Lu Xiaoqing blushed as she replied meekly, "You're lying . "

"Haha, I don't have many merits, but one of the few I have is my honesty . But still, it's too bad," Xiang Shaoyun laughed as he looked at the blushing Lu Xiaoqing .

"You're still as narcissistic as ever!" Lu Xiaoqing said with contempt before asking curiously, "Too bad about what?"

Xiang Shaoyun coughed, "Cough, cough . Uhm, I don't think I should say it . "

"No, I want to know!" Lu Xiaoqing purred .

"Fine, remember, you demanded it . Don't you be angry over it later," Xiang Shaoyun stated before shifting his gaze to Lu Xiaoqing's chest and said, "Cough, cough, they're a tad bit too small . "

Raising her brows, Lu Xiaoqing yelled, "Scoundrel!" Then she sent a slap at Xiang Shaoyun .

Lu Xiaoqing was a first-stage Astral Realm cultivator . Although she did not use her full power, her slap still carried a considerable might .

"Hey, hey, you promised you wouldn’t be angry! Why are you beating me? Stop being so coarse lest you won’t find a husband in the future!" Xiang Shaoyun yelled as he dodged the slap .

"You're the one who won't be able to find a wife! You scoundrel!" Lu Xiaoqing stamped her foot on the ground and cursed .

"Haha, I don't mind getting married to a queen who can take care of my living for me! That would be great!" Xiang Shaoyun howled with laughter .

"You? Nobody would want you!" Lu Xiaoqing said . Despite what she said, this naughty disposition of Xiang Shaoyun had in fact deeply attracted her .

"Alright, I'll stop messing around . Thank you!" Xiang Shaoyun stopped joking around and thanked her solemnly . He deeply hated those who betrayed him, but he also greatly appreciated those who were loyal to him .

"Don't worry about it . It's not like I was much help anyway . I nearly got in your way instead," Lu Xiaoqing muttered guiltily . During the incident, she had felt completely helpless . And because of that, she had spent the past month cultivating with all her effort . Finally, she broke through and reached the first stage of the Astral Realm, officially becoming the personal disciple of the eleventh elder .

Xiang Shaoyun smiled . "Don't ever think that way . You are a loyal friend! You're . . . only slightly lacking in intelligence . "

Lu Xiaoqing's heart was filled with sweetness when she heard the first part of the sentence . But when she heard the latter part, her face darkened .
