Chapter 262: Unreachable Legend

Ling Chuxi secretly took a breath. She did not expect that the cold qi could be so terrifying.

At the same time, she felt a little doubtful in her heart. Logically speaking, even if she was at Battle Qi Level 8, she would not necessarily be able to withstand such strong cold qi. How exactly did she make it through? Also, why did her Thundercloud Battle Qi integrate with this cold and gloomy qi to the point where she could break through from Level 8 to Level 9 and be promoted for another breakthrough in such a short period of time?

Thinking about it left and right, Ling Chuxi could not think of what the reason could be for it. She leapt onto that odd rock once more but no longer felt even the slightest bit of the cold, gloomy qi she felt before. After making a detailed observation, apart from the strange shape this odd stone had come to be after weathering the elements of nature, there was nothing surprising about it. It seemed to be that the key to solving her query did not lie within it.

After chewing on the matter for some time and not being able to find the reason, Ling Chuxi was also lazy to think too much more. She closed her eyes and concentrated, feeling the changes within her body. All her meridians and muscles seemed to have undergone a rebirth, exuding a strong vitality. An awe-inspiring qi filling her body. Under its induction, her whole being had a wonderful feeling of being integrated with the heavens and the earth. The Battle Qi that swam around in her meridians had become even more concentrated and powerful than ever before, and there was a sense of agility that was unprecedented.

Were these the changes made after experiencing Heavenly Lightning Striking The Body? It was actually so amazing and wonderful.

However, what made Ling Chuxi very depressed was, why did no one tell her that only the ninth strike was the true body tempering heavenly lightning and that all the strikes before that were nothing but tests administered by the mighty heavens?

Thinking back to how she had stupidly stood still before all the heavenly lightning strikes before the true one without even daring to block their blows even though she was half-dead, Ling Chuxi suddenly felt a sorrow that made her want to cry without tears.

Actually, the academys theoretical studies would have covered this subject. However, this was content that was only covered at a later stage and hadnt even started being taught in the lectures conducted in Ling Chuxis classes so far. Also, nobody had specially bothered to tell Ling Chuxi. Firstly, there were very few people who would actually be able to experience Heavenly Lightning Striking The Body. Secondly, nobody ever thought that Ling Chuxi would have broken through from Battle Qi Level 9 straight to the Great Fulfilment within such a short period of time and actually face the body-tempering lightning from the Ninth Heavens so quickly.

These were all unprecedented matters. It was a miracle that was hard to believe upon hearing of it and it sounded even more so like the tale of an unreachable legend! However, Ling Chuxi had actually done it!

Ling Chuxi packed her things and began moving in the direction leading to the capital. As she walked, Ling Chuxi was guessing what had happened to make Huangfu Qingjue rush back to the capital so urgently. She also did not know the condition of Huangfu Qingjues injuries at the moment.

After walking away from the mountain, Ling Chuxi suddenly frowned slightly and immediately looked towards her right. She saw a calm-faced man staring at her from a distance. The man was dressed in black brocade and there was a precious sword hanging from his waist. One could tell that it was an extraordinary weapon with just a single glance. He had a handsome face, deep eyes and a restrained aura. Ling Chuxi knew at a glance that this man was an expert, and an expert that was no less than her at that!

This left Ling Chuxi feeling a little surprised. She had just experienced Heavenly Lightning Striking The Body, and the other partys cultivation was no weaker than her own. Could it be that the other party had also experienced Heavenly Lightning Striking The Body before? Wasnt it said that not many people could make it through Heavenly Lightning Striking The Body? Why was it that she had so casually met an expert who had already experienced it and survived it here? What kind of luck was this?

Yesterday, was it you, the one who experienced Heavenly Lightning Striking The Body? asked the man slowly, pronouncing one word clearly at a time.

Huh? Ling Chuxi was stunned. Meeting this person wasnt due to good luck, was it? He had obviously come looking for her. After pausing for a bit, Ling Chuxi nodded and immediately reacted, Thats right. It was me.

Oh, I see. And what, exactly, do people call you? enquired the man clearly, emphasizing each part of his sentence at a time.
