Chapter 611: Chapter 279: Princes and Generals, Can They Be Born?

Chen Shi stepped past Saintess Xuan and moved to her backside, picking up his clothes from the chair and putting them on one piece at a time. He asked, "Xuanxuan, what brings you here?"

Saintess Xuan turned around, watching him dress. She smiled and said, "It’s been nearly half a year since we parted at the Great South Lake. Aren’t we old acquaintances? Can’t I visit you if there’s no pressing matter? What were you practicing just now?"

Chen Shi tightened his belt and said, "I was sparring with my father and couldn’t beat him, so I just practiced more. I can’t cultivate properly at home, and the only place I could go was the Guangji Storehouse, so that’s where I was cultivating. I was practicing the Body Refining Techniques from the Small Tribulation Transcendence Technique."

This time he had comprehended various Body Refining Techniques from the True King’s Tomb, identified the ways of combat within them, and thoroughly understood them before testing each one here.

Saintess Xuan exclaimed, "Small Tribulation Transcendence Technique? That’s the closely guarded secret from the ’Yi’an Hall Collection’ of the Li Family! Only those from the Sect Master lineage of the Li Family can practice it! How did you learn it?"

Chen Shi, surprised, said, "The Li Family has this Cultivation Technique too?"

Saintess Xuan nodded emphatically. "The Li Family would never spread this technique, and if it somehow leaked, they would do everything in their power to retrieve it! Do you know how they would retrieve it?"

Her expression grave, she continued, "The cultivator would be crushed to dust, utterly annihilated, soul scattered! Even glancing at the technique would not only warrant gouging out the eyes but also digging out the brain and heart to prevent any leaks!"

Chen Shi, utterly astonished, replied, "Is it really that severe?"

Saintess Xuan’s expression grew even more solemn, as if he had committed a great crime. She demanded, "Where did you steal it from? You should repent!"

Chen Shi chuckled. "My Small Tribulation Transcendence Technique is not from the Li Family; it is passed down through my family."

Saintess Xuan, frustrated, said, "Passed down through your family? You’re still being stubborn! Wait till the old patriarch of the Li Family strikes you down; then we’ll see!"

Chen Shi laughed. "It truly is passed down from my family. In the ’Ten Books of Cultivation’ at my home, this technique that can cultivate up to the Ascension Realm. My family has nine other similar techniques beyond this one."

Saintess Xuan gasped, "The Li Family’s Small Tribulation Transcendence Technique seems to only reach the Mahayana Realm..."

Chen Shi, delighted, said, "Then there’s nothing to worry about! My family’s Small Tribulation Transcendence Technique is definitely unrelated to theirs."

Saintess Xuan suddenly began to worry for him.

If the Sect Master lineage’s closely guarded secret of the Li Family only reached the Mahayana Realm, and Chen Shi’s reached the Ascension Realm, how could the Li Family tolerate him?

"The Body Refining aspect of the Small Tribulation Transcendence Technique isn’t actually that great, only second-rate. It’s lesser than the Nine Heavens Refining from Xiaolang’s Emperor Chapter Skill that I practice."

Chen Shi said, "I practiced it only as a reference, a mere stepping stone. Since this technique brings trouble, I will avoid practicing it publicly."

"Second-rate?"

Saintess Xuan was greatly shaken. Was the Body Refining Technique of Small Tribulation Transcendence Technique merely second-rate?

She did not know that before her arrival, Chen Shi had practiced the Peacock Ming King Golden Body from the Treasure Moonlight Peacock Ming King Mantra, the Supreme Vajra Body from the Great Dharma King Sutra, and the Mahayana Ten Method Achieving Golden Body from the Sutra of the Glorious Bodhi Heart.

And these three techniques were top-tier Golden Body techniques from the Bodhi Dojo!

In Chen Shi’s mind, these three types of Golden Body techniques were still only second-rate.

Suppressing her shock, Saintess Xuan said, "Chen Shi, you have killed Shen Hongniang, who was under the young master. This has already offended him."

Chen Shi shook his head. "No."

Saintess Xuan said, "Shen Hongniang was a stout woman, habitually sitting in a sedan chair. She arranged for people from the Red Lady Society to purchase many pregnant women and cattle and sheep to ambush you on the road."

Chen Shi suddenly realized and laughed. "So it was them. Yes, I killed them. Are you sent by the authorities?"

Saintess Xuan shook her head. "No. I am here to tell you that the young master is determined to win the title of top scorer. Since you have killed Shen Hongniang, you are in the wrong. Do not contest with the young master for the title of top scorer."

Chen Shi, puzzled, said, "Why can’t I compete for the title of top scorer just because I killed Shen Hongniang?"

Saintess Xuan stared at him. "Do you disagree?"

Chen Shi shook his head. "I disagree."

Saintess Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. "If you disagree, there’s nothing I can do to change your mind, so I just need to report back. I’m leaving!"

She turned to leave, but Chen Shi stopped her. "I disagree, and you’re not going to try to force me?"

Saintess Xuan grinned. "How would I force you?"

Chen Shi suggested, "Break my leg, severely damage my Nascent Soul, poison me, or use some other means to stop me from competing with the young master."

Looking into his eyes, which sparkled with excitement and eagerness for a fight, Saintess Xuan suddenly felt a twinge in her stomach and the back of her head. She hastily said, "In my Buddhist practice, we value fate. Since you disagree, how could I force you? I’m leaving!"

She turned and walked away, leaving behind Chen Shi’s regretful sigh.

Saintess Xuan paused, and seeing her stop, Chen Shi displayed a hopeful expression and said, "Xuanxuan, changed your mind? I can give you time to prepare, and then we can have a match. Didn’t you say last time that I didn’t give you a chance to strike? This time I’ll give you a chance!"

He had been scolded by Chen Tang several times in the past few days. Each time, before he could fully execute his moves, Chen Tang would cut him off. He deeply understood the pain Saintess Xuan felt when she first encountered him.

Saintess Xuan turned back and shouted, "Mr. Chen, I offer you my fleshly body; can you then not contend for the title of top scorer?"

They stood over thirty feet apart, and her voice carried to Chen Shi’s ears. He also loudly asked, "What is offering one’s fleshly body?"

Saintess Xuan shouted, "It means to give myself to you!"
