Chapter 704: Chapter 296: Senior Sister, My Aptitude Is Poor

Finally, the flame slowly merged into the Flying Sword.

The once cold, gleaming Flying Sword slowly began to turn red. A fiery brand appeared on its blade before eventually vanishing. The Flying Sword transformed into what looked like a red-hot Iron Sword, its flight speed increasing steadily.

Eventually, the fiery red Flying Sword reverted to its cold, gleaming appearance.

The resonating Fire Spiritual Power seemed to have been completely infused into the Flying Sword.

"SWOOSH!"

The Flying Sword shot into the canyon wall.

The stone melted in an instant, as if it were tofu, and the Flying Sword buried itself completely within the wall.

"BANG!"

A moment later, the Flying Sword emerged from the other side of the wall.

Empowered by the Fire Spiritual Power, the Flying Sword could not only slice through iron as if it were mud but also carried an exceptional heat—one so intense it could melt stone.

Moreover, this intense heat was hidden deep within the Flying Sword, completely invisible to the naked eye.

It was as if the heat was being awakened from within the Flying Sword.

This caused the power of the Magic Technique to multiply.

Finally, the Flying Sword flew back and hovered before Chu Lingguang and Li Qiushui.

Chu Lingguang’s face was filled with delight.

Li Qiushui, on the other hand, was completely stunned. She tried to control her expression, to feign indifference, but the effort only made her more uncomfortable. In the end, she gave up the act, her face darkening completely.

"Senior Sister, my aptitude is poor. I’ll need to train hard for a while longer to fully merge the Fire Spiritual Power. But don’t worry, I’ve remembered everything you said. I’ll practice diligently."

Chu Lingguang thought Li Qiushui was dissatisfied with his current results.

"Please, watch and see if my Flying Sword can fully merge with Gold Spiritual Power."

Not daring to provoke her, and seeing her silent with a dark expression, Chu Lingguang hastily attempted to merge the Gold Spiritual Power as well. He hoped that a successful merge with the Gold Spiritual Power would finally satisfy Li Qiushui.

’After all, she was the one who taught me the Sword Control Technique. She must want me to cultivate it to the level of Great Success, or even perfection. It’s only natural for her to be angry seeing my clumsy efforts.’

"SWOOSH!"

The Flying Sword once again began to circle around them.

A Wind Blade manifested around the Flying Sword, like a layer of Sword Aura sheathing it. Although its power was multiplied and its presence immense, it lacked a certain stability.

Then, the Wind Blade slowly merged into the Flying Sword.

As the Wind Blade merged, the cold light emanating from the Flying Sword grew sharper and sharper. Eventually, that sharp gleam vanished entirely. The Flying Sword seemed to disappear in mid-flight, melting into the natural speed of the wind.

"SHREEE!"

The Flying Sword then flashed out of a gentle breeze, piercing into the canyon cliff.

It then emerged from another part of the canyon.

Empowered by the Wind Blade Power, the Flying Sword seemed as if it had been tempered by an Artifact Refiner. It could now truly slice through iron like mud, utterly indestructible. Stone was like tofu before it, unable to impede its path in the slightest.

A moment later, the Flying Sword returned to Chu Lingguang’s hand.

"Senior Sister, how did I do?"

Since he had resonated with Gold Spiritual Power earlier and had first obtained a Metal Spirit Root, Chu Lingguang believed the fusion of the Flying Sword and Gold Spiritual Power was far superior to the one with Fire Spiritual Power. Surely Li Qiushui would be satisfied.

But when he looked, he found Li Qiushui’s expression was even darker than before.

"Senior Sister, if you’re not satisfied with something, please just tell me."

"Senior Sister, why aren’t you saying anything?"

"I’m sorry, Senior Sister. I know my aptitude is poor. I have to practice day and night to learn anything. But don’t worry, I’ll be able to satisfy you sooner or later."

Seeing that Li Qiushui still wasn’t speaking, Chu Lingguang felt a sense of foreboding. He was afraid she found him too stupid and would refuse to teach him any other cultivation Magic Techniques in the future.

"PTOO!"

Provoked by Chu Lingguang’s words, Li Qiushui’s injuries, which had just started to improve, suddenly flared up. Unable to suppress them, she dropped to one knee and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Senior Sister, are you okay?!"

"I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to make you angry! I know my aptitude is poor, and my attempts at merging the Gold and Fire Spiritual Powers were full of flaws. You..."

Feeling deeply apologetic, Chu Lingguang took all the blame upon himself, cursing his own incompetence.

"Shut up!"

"Stop talking."

If he had stayed silent, things might have been fine. But the more he spoke, the worse Li Qiushui’s injuries became.
