Junior Sister, I Really Have to Control You

Chapter 67: Chapter 43: 10 Sword Lights, Actual Demon Hunting Combat

Mu Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief.

However, she then saw Li Yinsheng chuckle and wave his hand, summoning twenty to thirty Sword Lights around him.

Mu Xiaoyu was speechless.

A month and a half later.

In front of the grand hall, Mu Xiaoyu and Li Yinsheng stood facing each other. She was no longer wielding the White Rainbow Sword, but rather the Cold Leaf Sword Li Yinsheng had given her previously.

A rich layer of azure gleam swirled over the Cold Leaf Sword. As she unleashed her Sword Technique, the azure gleam scattered from the blade, transforming into ten azure Sword Lights that shot straight toward Li Yinsheng.

Facing the ten approaching Sword Lights, Li Yinsheng simply pointed his index and middle fingers together, summoning a single pale azure Sword Light before him. In terms of color, his Sword Light was much lighter than Mu Xiaoyu’s. Or rather, it was much ”clearer.”

This was one of the characteristics of the Magical Power from the Qingxuan Scripture; as the number of Layers increased, the quality of the Magical Power grew higher, making it appear increasingly translucent and clear.

With a startled cry from Mu Xiaoyu, her attack comprised of ten Sword Lights was easily pierced by that single pale azure Sword Light, which had found a gap in her offense. The Sword Light landed on her body but didn’t cause any harm; it merely transformed into a gentle force that blew her backward, sending her crashing onto her rear.

”You’re cheating, Senior Brother!” Mu Xiaoyu sat on the ground, looking deeply aggrieved.

Li Yinsheng walked over and pulled her up. ”Oh? How am I cheating?”

”Uh...” Mu Xiaoyu was momentarily at a loss for words. She could only puff out her cheeks to show her dissatisfaction.

She thought, ”Detestable Senior Brother! He’s engaged me in Magical Combat every day this month, yet he hasn’t let me win even once!”

”Alright, alright, your performance today was quite good. Here, have a candied hawthorn stick,” Li Yinsheng said, handing one to Mu Xiaoyu.

Although most of the snacks were kept in Mu Xiaoyu’s own Qiankun Bag, Li Yinsheng had also stored a few himself. Naturally, the majority of them ended up in Mu Xiaoyu’s stomach. She immediately took the treat, the annoyance on her face dissipating significantly.

Once Mu Xiaoyu finished her candied hawthorn, Li Yinsheng didn’t make her resume practicing her swordplay right away. Instead, he had her practice her cultivation exercises.

She was currently only at the Second Layer of the Qingxuan Scripture, so her Magical Power was still very meager. After their recent bout of Magical Combat, culminating in the simultaneous release of ten Sword Lights, her Magical Power had hit rock bottom. She needed to practice her exercises to recover for a while before she could continue her sword practice.

Li Yinsheng had already claimed the four years of Cultivation rewarded for achieving eight Sword Lights, and he had taken the opportunity to nourish the White Rainbow Sword for another four years. Unfortunately, an extra four years of nourishment still didn’t offer much help to the Spirituality within the sword. Moreover, as his junior sister mastered more and more Sword Lights, the White Rainbow Sword’s guidance noticeably slowed down.

Progressing from two Sword Lights to three only required a little over a day of practice. Going from three to four only took three days. However, going from four Sword Lights to the current ten had taken a full month and a half. To be precise, progressing from four to eight Sword Lights had only taken about twenty days in total; the remaining twenty-plus days were all spent on the ninth and tenth Sword Lights.

Furthermore, because he was also practicing the Yin Yang Light-Splitting Sword himself, he had noticed a pattern. Even though the power of the Sword Lights would increase whenever their quantity doubled, adding more Sword Lights afterward would become increasingly difficult.

At this rate, reaching sixteen Sword Lights would likely take another two months or so of practice. And once she reached sixteen Sword Lights, she might only be able to add one or two more per month.
