NovelEnglishChapter 25: Revelations and Resolve
"Only two weeks away? I didn't realize it would be this rapid," Qin Chen stated, his voice a mix of surprise and anxiety.
"Well, it's information privy to only a few teachers, and now I'm sharing it with you. You must start preparing from this very moment," Ning Yuan cautioned, her voice a soothing balm to his rising nerves.
"Thank you, Miss Ning. I can't express enough gratitude for you, you've always been my support system. You've been incredibly kind to me. Thank you," Qin Chen said, his words filled with sincerity, his smile radiating warmth akin to a midsummer day.
Ning Yuan reciprocated the smile, her eyes reflecting pride.
It's been a year since she first met Qin Chen, and he had quickly become her favored student. Besides being clever, Qin Chen possessed something unusual, a charm of luck.
Since the first time she met Qin Chen, she could sense a golden aura around him, signifying good fortune, like the gentle glow of dawn after a dark night.
"Alright, let's proceed with our practice."

"Do you have any idea why she is like this?" Long Tian inquired, his tone soft, pointing the jade toward the unconscious Li Yue'er.
Shen Yulan was taken aback, her eyes wide at Li Yue'er's condition.
'Impossible, this shouldn't manifest in the lower world,' she thought to herself, her voice barely a whisper in her mind.
She could perceive at first glance that it was the unique nine realms physique where the body owner becomes the bridge to the nine worlds.
It was one of those rare special bodies that were seldom seen, even in the upper realm. It was a shock for her to witness it in the lower realm.
"So? Do you know about it?" Long Tian pressed, his gaze firm on her.
Shen Yulan, regaining her composure, replied, "Ah, I am not sure what it is. Perhaps it's just some odd anomaly," she managed to say.
Long Tian looked at her, a blank expression on his face, "Really? Lady Shen, you think I won't know? It's the special nine realms body," he declared, his words sharp as a dagger.
Shen Yulan's expression flickered with surprise, she hadn't expected Long Tian to know this. But she recovered quickly.
"Long Tian, how far does your knowledge extend? You seem to know everything. Are you a reincarnated old man?" She asked suspiciously.
"Do I give off such a vibe?" Long Tian questioned, one eyebrow arched in curiosity.
"You seem to be well-versed with matters you shouldn't be as a schoolboy," Shen Yulan replied.
"Have you forgotten that I hail from an ancient family?" Long Tian retorted.
Shen Yulan sighed, "I almost overlooked that fact. Alright then, let me absorb this Reiki," she declared.
Long Tian nodded, "I'll leave you to it," he said. He carefully placed the jade near Li Yue'er and briskly exited the room.

As Shen Yulan was engrossed in absorbing the Reiki emanating from Li Yue'er, Long Tian ventured to the spacious backyard, its expanse comparable to a football field.

But his purpose here was not to cultivate. His motive was to practice the Thousand Star Training Method.
He took a cross-legged position and gingerly flipped open the book to the first page. It narrated the inception of the training method discovered by Zhuangzhi, the famed Taoist. But Long Tian glossed over it.
He was aware of the book's history. Penned by one of the five sage founders of China, Gong Fenzhou, known as the star warrior, the book was a testament to immense power.
Gong Fenzhou's power was formidable as he harnessed the energy from the stars.
In Qin Chen's possession, this training method evolved into a lethal weapon, saving his life multiple times, significantly contributing to his strength.
But now, Gong Fenzhou's training method lay in his grasp.
Long Tian, however, refrained from immediately employing it. There was a reason the Wudang sect members, including Shi Huang, couldn't learn the Thousand Star Training Method.
Step! Step! Step!
At this moment, footsteps echoed from behind. Long Tian turned and saw Ling Han approaching him.
"Oh, Uncle Ling, have you wrapped up your business?" He asked.
"Yes, I finished it ahead of schedule since you summoned me. So, what brings me here?" Ling Han queried.
Long Tian mustered a smile, "I want you to break my Dantian."
