Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 123: Chapter 123 Guanghan Technique

”Xiexie!” Li Wanxiong called out again in a low voice, well aware that it was already no small feat for someone like Su Yang to speak to them calmly and peacefully. Now, Hu Xiexie was so anxiously pressing him to teach her, and if this distressed Su Yang, it could spell trouble.

Just dealing with Ren Yuanfeng had caused them enough headaches, and Su Yang was someone they couldn’t afford to offend even more than Ren Yuanfeng!

Su Yang, however, didn’t mind. He liked Hu Xiexie’s straightforward and outspoken nature. On the contrary, if Hu Xiexie had been coy and secretive around him, Su Yang would have definitely ignored her!

”I can teach you. If you cultivate according to the technique I pass on to you, you will certainly be able to enter the Integration Realm,” Su Yang said.

”Really?” Hu Xiexie was overjoyed.

Li Wanxiong was also shocked. You see, he was currently only at the intermediate level of Qi Refinement, and it was very uncertain whether he could ever break through to the Integration Realm in this lifetime. For martial artists throughout the world, the Integration Realm was an unattainable height.

At the Integration Realm, one could be called a Grandmaster, and at the Fusion Peak, one was known as The Sovereign. Above The Sovereign lay the Terrestrial Immortal, and upon entering the realm of Earth Immortals, one could live freely between heaven and earth with a lifespan of a thousand years.

However, how many martial artists in the world could reach the Integration Realm? Even in the entire Pingnan Province, only those top ten masters were considered to be within the Integration Realm.

And the others, even the number one expert of Nanluo City, was just at the Qi Refining Peak. Moreover, he had been stuck at this Qi Refining Peak Realm for more than twenty years and had almost no hope of entering the Integration Realm in this lifetime!

Now, Su Yang was actually going to teach Hu Xiexie the technique to enter the Integration Realm? How could Li Wanxiong not be astonished by this?

Su Yang imparted to Hu Xiexie a set of secret techniques from the Taoist Sect found within Destiny’s Tome, called the Guanghan Technique. According to the records in Destiny’s Tome, if one could cultivate the Guanghan Technique to its limit, one could enter the Heavenly Grade Realm and be extremely powerful.

As for the Integration Realm at the Yellow Grade, it was a mere trifle to the Guanghan Technique.

However, cultivation wasn’t something where success was guaranteed just because you possessed an excellent secret technique. After all, Earth’s spiritual energy was sparse. Even with a secret technique, you still needed sufficient spiritual energy to support it. And even with spiritual energy, transforming it into sufficient power wasn’t an easy task.

Many people couldn’t reach the Integration Realm precisely because they were limited by this lack of spiritual energy.

Just like Su Yang, if he had enough spiritual energy, combined with the power absorbed by Devouring the Heavens, he would have already entered the Integration Realm. Why else would he still be lingering at this current level?

Hu Xiexie actually had quite a talent for cultivation. She remembered the entire Guanghan Technique in her heart after Su Yang recited it only twice. Furthermore, she was very diligent, immediately beginning to cultivate by the lakeside.

Li Wanxiong tactfully left the scene, leaving only Su Yang to act as a protector for Hu Xiexie.

Two hours later, Hu Xiexie opened her eyes. In her eyes, a faint sharpness flickered, and they seemed much brighter than before.

”How is it?” Su Yang asked.

”I... I feel like the spiritual energy I absorbed during my previous cultivation has finally been reorganized together!” Hu Xiexie said excitedly.

Su Yang smiled. The secret technique that Hu Xiexie had previously cultivated was very ordinary, so the spiritual energy within her body was quite muddled. After practicing the Guanghan Technique, the first step was to purify that muddled spiritual energy. This showed that Hu Xiexie had achieved success in her cultivation!

”Now take a look around you,” Su Yang said. ”Do you notice any other changes?”

Hu Xiexie looked around and exclaimed in surprise again, ”Eh? How did my vision become so good? Wow, I can see the little bugs on that tree over there very clearly!”

”That’s right,” Su Yang nodded. ”In the future, you can try practicing with some hidden weapons; they’re what suit you best!”

”Really?” Hu Xiexie was somewhat skeptical but picked up a pebble from the ground, aimed, and threw it, hitting a tree accurately.

”Wow, really?” Hu Xiexie was overjoyed and said, ”I’ll go back right now and have my dad make me a whole set of flying daggers. From now on, call me the Flying Dagger Heroine!”

Su Yang smiled faintly. Actually, the Guanghan Technique also contained a sect on Divine Archery Art, which Su Yang had not yet taught Hu Xiexie. Because the Divine Archery Art was too powerful, practicing it now would do more harm than good to her.

However, it wouldn’t hurt for her to start practicing some hidden weapon aiming skills now, so that when she later practiced the Divine Archery Art, she would be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

It was already past eight o’clock, and Hu Xiexie didn’t practice any further; instead, she dragged Su Yang to have breakfast.

Afterwards, despite Su Yang’s pleas to return to school, Hu Xiexie dragged him to go buy clothes for him. According to Hu Xiexie, as her apprentice, he should make a good appearance when going out; it would be improper to dress shabbily!

Su Yang was speechless. He actually had plenty of money but didn’t care much about these matters. To him, as long as clothes were comfortable, that was enough.

But he couldn’t withstand Hu Xiexie. In the end, she took him to the Beixing Mall.

Beixing Mall was slightly less prestigious compared to Rongfa Shopping Mall. However, Rongfa focused mainly on women’s clothing, while Beixing Mall had more men’s fashion stores.

The leggy, beautiful Hu Xiexie, holding Su Yang’s arm, entered the mall and immediately attracted the attention of people around them.

Su Yang, dressed ordinarily, naturally didn’t draw any notice. However, Hu Xiexie’s beauty was too much for many people to remain calm about. Especially since she was hanging onto Su Yang’s arm in a very affectionate manner, it made many men’s eyes turn red with jealousy.

Feeling uncomfortable under the gaze of many onlookers as if they were toads ogling him, Su Yang wasn’t at ease. Hu Xiexie, on the other hand, ignored them all, gleefully leading Su Yang here and there through the mall.

As they were passing the entrance of a store, someone suddenly called out to Hu Xiexie. She turned her head and saw a lavishly dressed girl standing not far behind her.

”Zhao Yu?” Hu Xiexie said with a surprised face: ”What are you doing here?”

”I came with my boyfriend to buy clothes,” Zhao Yu said with a smile. ”Didn’t you go away to study? When did you come back, and why didn’t you let me know?”

Hu Xiexie responded, ”You’re telling me, I called your house twice, and they said you were out traveling. When did you get back?”

”I just got back too.” Zhao Yu glanced at Su Yang and asked in surprise, ”And who is this...?”

”My apprentice!” Hu Xiexie said proudly.

”Your apprentice?” Zhao Yu looked at Hu Xiexie holding Su Yang’s arm and was somewhat speechless; that gesture didn’t seem much like that of an apprentice.

”You go ahead and look around the store, I’ll come and find you in a bit,” Hu Xiexie told Su Yang as she patted his arm. ”I’m going to chat with my bestie for a while!”

”Alright,” Su Yang quickly left, feeling on pins and needles under Zhao Yu’s scrutinizing gaze.

Actually, Su Yang himself wasn’t very interested in shopping; he didn’t care much about clothes and such.

After wandering through a few stores, he finally entered a men’s clothing shop.

”Welcome...” The shop assistant began, but then the voice turned cold: ”Su Yang, what are you doing here?”

Su Yang turned his head and saw Lin Qingru’s third aunt, Fang Hui, standing in front of him, staring at him with an icy gaze.
