Chapter 125: Black Rose
" Master!" Seeing Xuan Hao making his way over, both Qing Yi and Chu Yang walked over to greet him.
"I see that both of you are quite lively today, and it looks like Chu Yang here is back to training again." Smiling a bit at the thought of spending a bit more time with his disciples in the future, Xuan Hao went over the schedule of things he had prepared to do with both of them today one last time before he arrived in front of Chu Yang and Qing Yi.
"Master, what are we going to do today?" Qing Yi asked in a shaky voice, still a bit out of breath from the earlier practice fight with Chu Yang.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"First of all, we will be going over your earlier practice fight! Firstly, Qing Yi, earlier you were way too aggressive when fighting against Chu Yang, you left a lot of openings that Chu Yang could and did take advantage of. Just look at how he managed to get a hit in on you in the end and win!
To improve this, you should try to be a bit more patient when fighting and try to wait for an opportunity instead of going in whenever you can. Constant pressure can be good in some situations, but you have to consider that such an aggressive attack method reveals a lot of mistakes for your opponent to take advantage of!" Saying this, Xuan Hao watched Qing Yi as she went over what he said with a thoughtful look in her eyes before moving his gaze over to Chu Yang.
At this moment, Chu Yang stood with a smile appearing on his face. Ready to tease his senior sister for the mistakes that their master had pointed out when they were finished practicing today. Chu Yang felt that he did not make any mistakes in the earlier practice fight and even if he did, at most it was a few minor mistakes that could easily be avoided.
"Now secondly, Chu Yang…" Upon hearing his master call out his name, Chu Yang put away the teasing expression that had appeared on his face, as he waited for what his master was going to say.
"From the earlier fight, you were inactive when it came to attacking and several times you missed out on some of the obvious mistakes made by your senior sister due to your indecisiveness to attack. Instead of being proactive in attacking, you let your senior sister control the flow of battle. Even with a lower cultivation realm than you! She would have been able to win with a little more combat experience." Shaking his head at the thought of Chu Yang being proud of winning over his senior sister 3 minor cultivation realms below him, Xuan Hao felt a bit helpless.
Chu Yang did not know what to say when he heard how his master described his earlier performance and felt like digging a hole to hide in upon seeing the smiling look that his senior sister was giving him.
How embarrassing! How could he forget that he was 3 minor realms above his senior sister, yet he still wanted to brag about winning to her later! What if he ended up losing to his senior sister? Would that not just be a testament to the fact that he could not even win against someone below his own cultivation realm…?
"Okay, both of you can think about what I said later and try to implement it in the next practice fight you have with each other. Today I will be going over your cultivation progress since entering the sect." Seeing the teasing look Qing Yi was sending Chu Yang and Chu Yang's increasingly awkward appearance, Xuan Hao took it upon himself and changed the topic in another direction.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmQing Yi and Chu Yang both refocused their attention on Xuan Hao as they patiently waited for him to continue.
Seeing that both of them started paying attention to him again, Xuan Hao went over to Qing Yi who was standing closest to him and put his hand on top of her head as he sent in a wisp of his divine sense to check out the condition of her dantian.
Compared to when she first reached the Foundation Establishment Realm a month ago, another bright red pillar had appeared besides the first one at the centre of her dantian, a bright red flame made out of fire qi was engulfing both the pillars as the nearby fire qi had already started taking on the shape of a pillar. Seeing this, Xuan Hao knew that Qing Yi would be able to reach the third stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm soon.
The cultivation of the Burning Heaven Mantra went well for Qing Yi and there were not any mistakes present in her dantian that needed him to fix.
"It looks like you have not slacked off when it comes to the Burning Heaven Mantra!" Nodding approvingly at Qing Yi as he removed the hand from the top of her head, Xuan Hao did not see the shy expression on her face as he moved over to where Chu Yang was standing with a nervous expression on his face.
Putting his hand on top of Chu Yang's head, Xuan Hao sent his divine sense inside of his dantian like he had done with Qing Yi and observed the situation inside of his dantian.
Like Qing Yi, Xuan Hao instantly managed to locate the pillars floating in the middle of Chu Yang's dantian. Four pillars were silently floating around the biggest pillar in the middle of the dantian, each of them was engulfed in a large amount of spear qi that had taken the shape of a spear, but the large pillar in the middle of the dantian did not have the qi in the shape of a spear but was instead engulfed by a large amount of black qi in the shape of a rose.
"This is…" Xuan Hao was quite surprised when he saw the large amount of black qi shaped like a rose dancing around the central pillar inside of Chu Yang's dantian.
