Chương 111: War God’s : — Chapter 111 - What, Feel Like Giving Me a Massage?

Ye Miyue spent the entire ride explaining the details of Questioning the Stele meditation. Half an hour of explanations. The sky rail glided like a cloud-borne train into the archipelago of Tiandu Capital Martial University. The view opened wide again. Their first stop was the outer district of Tiandu Capital Martial University. The famous Ten-Thousand-Treasure Long Street lay inside. They'd need to transfer stations to reach the inner district before truly entering Tiandu University proper.

The transfer train was the university city's internal sky rail system. Much smaller. Generally required a student ID or visitor pass to board. Ye Miyue led Wang Xian through the transfer, arriving at the station below Mystic Heart Island, one of the Return-to-Void Archipelago. The spiral twin towers rising from the island had a striking design. Two spiral structures, one the female dormitory, one the male dormitory. Distinct colors, modern sci-fi aesthetic.

They took a small magnetic levitation unmanned train deeper into Mystic Heart Island's inner layer, entering the true villa district. School hadn't started yet, so the twin towers weren't crowded. But new students were already trickling into the dorms. The villa district was far more secluded and elegant by comparison. Villa District No. 5.

"We're here!" Ye Miyue carried Wang Xian's luggage, completed identity verification at the door, then opened it and led him inside.

"I prepared a room for you! Second floor!"

"Won't there be issues with me living here?" Wang Xian asked.

"No... I already talked to the school..." Ye Miyue's eyes curved into crescents.

"They agreed."

"?" They agreed to this? A man and woman sharing a villa? Pretty open-minded school policy. Aren't they worried about trouble? What if I lose control... Wait. Ye Miyue possessed the Eternal Silence Sword Body. Forget men, even women wouldn't dare touch her carelessly. Right. Within the school, there was no need to worry about Ye Miyue's safety. The concern was for everyone around her... Otherwise they wouldn't have arranged a separate villa district just for her. Taboo-tier talent came with serious privileges.

As the Martial Exam top scorer, he had plenty of privileges too. The university originally planned to send someone to pick him up. He'd refused. His tuition was waived. They promised the best Old Martial Arts teachers in his field, plus unrestricted access to all school training resources. Considerable cultivation resources too. Like the Elemental Crystal Water that previously required military department exchange, Tiandu Capital Martial University had it. Ordinary students needed credits to exchange for it.

He didn't. Every semester he received a certain amount free. Not that Wang Xian had much use for it right now. Walking inside, Wang Xian sniffed. The aroma of food lingered.

"Made in advance?" You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

"Mm..."

"We've been traveling all day. Let's eat and rest early!" Ye Miyue said.

"Tomorrow's Questioning the Stele meditation is important. Chancellor Song Wujiu and all the major department heads will attend." Wang Xian nodded, changed clothes, and approached the dining table. Only one set of bowls and chopsticks. Ye Miyue sat across from him, hands propping up her chin, watching.

"By the way, who's your master?" Wang Xian asked suddenly.

"Huh? What?"

"I said, who's your master?"

"Oh... my master is..." Ye Miyue's cheeks warmed slightly. She said quietly, "Vice Chancellor Luo Cihan! A seventh-realm Great Grandmaster! She's also head of the Sword Dao Academy. She's been in seclusion recently, preparing for the 'Grandmaster Banquet.' Won't be appearing for a while." Wang Xian nodded. The Grandmaster Banquet, when one achieved Grandmaster status, congratulations came from all directions. Especially a Great Grandmaster from one of Dragon Country's five top institutions.

Status, strength, surpassing Bai Hongtian in every aspect. Tiandu City sat along the coast, an internationalized martial metropolis with high status in Dragon Country. Martial powerhouses from various nations often stationed there. Once the Grandmaster Banquet began, martial powerhouses from various countries would certainly visit, seeking the Way and challenging martial prowess. Coupled with her Vice Chancellor status, the challengers at this grand banquet wouldn't just be older generation powerhouses.

Younger generation powerhouses too. She had to prepare thoroughly. Couldn't lose face for Tiandu Capital Martial University and the nation.

"Luo Cihan..." Wang Xian murmured the name twice. What was her relationship with that old sister Luo Shuang? Both were swordswomen of the Heavenly Frost Divine Sword style. To become Vice Chancellor required considerable age and seniority. Either an older sister, or an even older generation relative. Mother, aunt, that sort. Wang Xian leaned toward the latter. After dinner, night had fallen. After washing up, Wang Xian stepped onto his room's balcony, gazing at scenery he'd never seen before.

In the night, the archipelago sparkled like stars.

'In my past life, I never attended a university like this...' Wang Xian smiled. After reaching the seventh realm later, he'd visited these top institutions. But his mindset then was completely different. Entering a top institution as a student, enjoying this period of student life, an indispensable piece of life's puzzle.

"Wang Xian..." Outside the door, Ye Miyue's soft voice sounded.

"What is it?"

"Master said..." Ye Miyue lowered her head, toe tapping the floor.

"The stronger my talent becomes, the more Eternal Silence Sword Qi my body contains... I probably won't be able to have contact with others even at the fourth or fifth realm."

"Right now I still can..." Ye Miyue looked at her palm. The words in her heart went unfinished. Right now she could still hold hands a little... Before coming to Tiandu, she could even...

"I'm not 'others.'" Wang Xian smiled.

"What, feeling like giving me a massage?" Ye Miyue's cheeks flushed red. A faint mist tinged her beautiful starry eyes, carrying a hint of playful reproach:"I do not!"

"Don't worry." Wang Xian narrowed his eyes.

"Eternal Silence Sword Qi... it's just so-so. In a few days, I'll reward you by letting you massage me."

"Massage me well, and I'll have another reward for you." Once his 20 divine meridians fully formed, even if he still couldn't complete the 'Complete Cycle Divine Meridians,' he wouldn't fear the current Eternal Silence Sword Qi much anymore. Unless the 'Eternal Silence Sword Body' was pushed to its limit. Otherwise, simple massaging, touching, kissing, the bit of Eternal Silence Sword Qi passively triggered by the Sword Body wouldn't cause him real damage.

"Going to sleep!" Ye Miyue turned and left, embarrassed, hurrying back to her room. Actually, from the moment they met, Wang Xian had sensed it. Ye Miyue had wanted to rush up and hug him. Originally he thought she was just shy, stopping short in front of him. Later, thinking it over, he figured her cultivation had progressed too much during this period. Her talent gradually revealing itself, the Eternal Silence Sword Qi within her growing more abundant. So she didn't quite dare hug him anymore.

Even holding hands, she didn't dare hold on too long. After all, the more intimate the contact, the easier it triggered the Eternal Silence Sword Body. Holding hands was small-scale contact. Ye Miyue could still control her own Eternal Silence Sword Qi. But a hug counted as large-area contact. She probably couldn't control it well.

"Once the Complete Cycle Divine Meridians form..."

"Twenty divine meridians hidden within the body, not only will talents like 'Spirit Link One Eye' find them nearly impossible to detect, they'll merge into one whole. Even if I lose a limb, the spirit sha within the divine meridians will instantly transfer to other meridians, rather than exploding and weakening."

"At the same time, once the Complete Cycle Divine Meridians form, I can circulate the 'Grand Cycle.' Breathing and channeling malevolent qi at will. When executing martial techniques, circulating the Grand Cycle will let me directly mobilize the world's elemental energy for my use, further enhancing the power and adaptability of my martial techniques."

"At that point, even if the 'Eternal Silence Sword Body' is further stimulated, triggering large amounts of Eternal Silence Sword Qi... under the circulation of the Complete Cycle Divine Meridians, I can rapidly neutralize the Sword Qi... The price of intimacy will just be using spirit sha to counteract the rule force within the Sword Qi, which will weaken me somewhat..."

"After all, to replenish spirit sha now, I can only go to relics... or use rare treasures like dragon pearls or tiger soul spirit cores." So. Wang Xian really wasn't very afraid of the Eternal Silence Sword Body. To truly and completely neutralize the threat of a taboo-tier talent like the Eternal Silence Sword Body... Uh... Relying solely on divine meridians still wasn't quite enough. The Eternal Silence Sword Body talent possessed the 'Profound Mystery' attribute, an attribute signifying rule force.

The rarest type of talent attribute. And Eternal Silence Sword Qi wasn't purely energy. It carried a trace of rules. Saying it could freeze all creation wouldn't be an exaggeration, just a matter of time. His divine meridians could absorb all types of energy for cultivation, but couldn't absorb that trace of rule attached to the Eternal Silence Sword Qi. Even if Ye Miyue could control it somewhat, he estimated he'd need to cultivate his own 'Star Bones' before he could easily handle it.
