Xuanhuan: The Empress and I Swapped Bodies - Chapter 154

“What? You’re going to teach me the Divine Striking Technique? This… this might not be appropriate, right?”

“This Divine Striking Technique is clearly a sect’s secret art. I’m afraid some people might object later!”

Having experienced the power of the Divine Striking Technique firsthand, Ye Wushuang naturally found it appealing.

However, he also knew it was a top-tier technique of Liu Ningxian’s sect.

Such a supreme technique was enough to form the foundation of a major power.

Under these circumstances, if Ye Wushuang were to cultivate it, it would inevitably cause discontent among many.

It might even bring significant trouble to Liu Ningxian, something Ye Wushuang absolutely did not want to see.

Yet, Liu Ningxian confidently waved off his concerns.

“Don’t worry! I’m the one passing this technique to you. No one will dare say a thing!”

“If anyone truly has a problem, they can come to me directly. I’ll give them a satisfactory explanation!”

The “explanation” Liu Ningxian had in mind was quite simple: first, beat them into submission, then reason with them.

Once they were subdued, they’d be much more willing to listen.

Ye Wushuang, of course, was unaware of this.

Understanding that Liu Ningxian genuinely wished to teach him, he gladly accepted.

Seeing Ye Wushuang nod, Liu Ningxian couldn’t help but reveal a gratified smile.

With Ye Wushuang deciding to learn her technique, they could truly be considered master and disciple in name.

No matter what happened in the future, Ye Wushuang could be counted as her student.

This thought excited Liu Ningxian immensely, making her even more enthusiastic about teaching him.

Due to his focus on cultivating the Divine Striking Technique, Ye Wushuang didn’t rush to apply for resources from the Divine Dragon Empress immediately.

Instead, he devoted himself to learning the technique.

However, his learning speed truly astonished Liu Ningxian.

Initially, Liu Ningxian had thought that given Ye Wushuang’s talent, it might take him several months to gain a basic grasp of the technique, and perhaps ten or even several decades to reach the Grand Completion stage.

In her mind, this was already the fastest pace conceivable for the most gifted genius.

If Ye Wushuang could achieve such speed, she would have been immensely pleased, even proud of him for life.

But who could have predicted that merely after she explained the Divine Striking Technique’s principles in their entirety, Ye Wushuang had already grasped the basics?

Then, after asking a few questions, his proficiency reached the Minor Completion stage.

Finally, after just half an hour of personal practice, his Divine Striking Technique directly advanced to the Grand Completion stage.

Even though Liu Ningxian witnessed this with her own eyes, she stared wide-eyed, her face filled with disbelief.

“This… how is this possible? How did you cultivate so quickly? Have… have you practiced the Divine Striking Technique before?”

Liu Ningxian knew Ye Wushuang couldn’t have practiced it before; no one would have taught him.

But seeing his astonishing speed, she couldn’t help but ask if he had prior experience.

Reaching Grand Completion in less than half a day was unprecedented.

In fact, such a feat had never occurred in history.

This made Liu Ningxian’s gaze towards Ye Wushuang grow even more fervent.

“Your talent… your talent is simply too terrifying. To master a top-tier technique in less than half a day!”

“I really want to take you away, to bring you to learn the world’s most powerful techniques, just to see how far your talent can truly reach.”

“Uh…”

Liu Ningxian’s intense gaze was somewhat overwhelming for Ye Wushuang.

From the past until now, he had never faced such a fervent look.

Not to mention, Liu Ningxian was a great beauty.

This made him unconsciously turn his head aside as he spoke:

“There’s no need for that. I’ve already mastered many top-tier techniques and even grasped the power of rules.”

“While having many techniques has its benefits, biting off more than one can chew isn’t wise. What I have now is sufficient!”

Currently, the Divine Dragon Empire had ample resources, and Ye Wushuang’s cultivation realm wasn’t high enough yet.

Under these circumstances, he had no desire to wander the world with Liu Ningxian.

His present situation was quite favorable.

Fortunately, Liu Ningxian was only joking, so the matter was dropped.

However, seeing Ye Wushuang turn his head away, she found him rather amusing.

She even felt a playful urge to tease him a little.

“What, don’t you want to wander the ends of the earth with me?”

Liu Ningxian’s voice was exceptionally soft, carrying a subtle hint of allure within its gentleness.

Ye Wushuang immediately sensed something different, making him stumble over his words.

“I…!”

“He definitely doesn’t want to!”

“Liu Ningxian, I knew you hadn’t given up your sneaky plan to run off with my disciple! Let me tell you, no way!”

Before Ye Wushuang could finish, Clan Elder Liu Ning cut him off.

The Clan Elder looked indignant, as if questioning why Liu Ningxian wanted to take his disciple away.

He completely failed to notice the slightly unusual atmosphere between Liu Ningxian and Ye Wushuang moments before.

Hearing this, Liu Ningxian couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

This finally allowed Ye Wushuang to extricate himself from being caught between the two of them.

“Ahem! I’ve run out of cultivation resources. I need to go apply to Her Majesty for more.”

“Go on, go on. Remember to apply for a lot this time, so you don’t have to keep running back and forth!”

“Uh… alright.”

Truth be told, the resources Ye Wushuang had already applied for were immense.

Enough resources to cultivate to the Supreme realm—this was wealth others could hardly obtain in a lifetime.

Yet Ye Wushuang had applied for and received it in one go.

Moreover, he had used it up incredibly quickly.

Now wanting to apply again, and with Clan Elder Liu Ning even complaining he applied for too little and had to run around too much… in a way, this was indeed somewhat absurd.

However, this time Ye Wushuang’s visit was precisely for such an “absurd” purpose.

Those resources truly weren’t enough for him anymore.

In fact, the resources meant for a single Supreme realm expert were only sufficient for him to advance one minor stage.

So, he genuinely needed more resources.

Thus, under the watchful eyes of Clan Elder Liu Ning and Liu Ningxian, Ye Wushuang went off to find the Divine Dragon Empress.

Seeing Ye Wushuang appear, a flicker of delight passed through the Divine Dragon Empress’s eyes, though her expression remained composed on the surface.

“You’ve left seclusion?”

“Yes. I’ve left seclusion, and the resources are used up.”

“I see. This time, I’ll approve a larger amount for you.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty!”

Hearing the Empress’s words, Ye Wushuang instantly felt a wave of relief.
