Who Let Him Cultivate?!
Chapter 1168 - 117 Why Does Someone Always Interrupt the Class

The morning sunlight scattered across the streets, while the city gate guards, having watched through the night, were changing shifts. Unnoticed by them, a golden Nascent Soul drifted over their heads and silently entered Muxue City.

The golden Nascent Soul appeared dim, nearly transparent, its childlike face twisted into a fierce grimace.

"Damn those from the Jiuyou Sect, so fickle and ruthless, killing at the slightest disagreement."

The mere memory of the earlier scene made the golden Nascent Soul shiver. A cultivator in the Divinity Transformation Stage had led twenty others in the Nascent Soul Stage and directly attacked the stronghold of the Nine Ghosts Alliance.

There's a saying: you don't strike a smiling face. The Alliance Hierarch had shown great courtesy to that envoy from the Jiuyou Sect, Huo Huashen, putting on a smiley face, but before the Alliance Hierarch could react, he was beheaded, dying with his eyes still open.

Fortunately, as the leader of the Ghost Killing Alliance, skilled in assassination and stealth techniques, he barely escaped the massacre at the cost of his lifespan.

Although he had managed to flee the scene, he was gravely wounded and beyond healing, leaving him no choice but to abandon his physical body, preserving only his Nascent Soul.

To evade the pursuit from the Jiuyou Sect, he had fled and his Nascent Soul's power had nearly dissipated.

"I must find a target to possess!"

The Ghost Kill Alliance Leader clenched his teeth, reminiscing about his once elevated status and how today he was relegated to possessing others like a stray dog.

"This kid seems to have unusual spiritual power, and his physical fitness far exceeds his peers. You're the one!"

The Ghost Kill Alliance Leader was overjoyed, not expecting to find such a prodigy and realizing that possessing him might even lead to further advancements, possibly reaching the Spirit Transformation and Void Refining stages one day!

At Su Yuan's home.

"To meditate, you must calm your mind. How can you meditate with such restlessness?"

Su Yuan adopted the Five Centers Toward Heaven posture, the most orthodox meditation stance, aimed at cultivating the heart.

The only issue was the voice that kept expressing dissatisfaction with his meditative state.

Suddenly, a golden light slipped through the door and entered Su Yuan's head, unbeknownst to him.

...

The Ghost Kill Alliance Leader entered Su Yuan's Spiritual Space, delighted inwardly, "I was right. This kid is naturally gifted with spiritual power. Even while a mortal, he has opened up a Spiritual Space. If he formally begins cultivation, his spiritual power could be ten times that of his peers!"

A spiritual attack tenfold stronger could instantly annihilate anyone of the same stage!

"But why is it so dark here? Could it be that this kid doesn't know he has a Spiritual Space and has never been here?"

The Ghost Kill Alliance Leader was puzzled, as this seemed highly unlikely.

Just as he was bewildered, suddenly lamps on either side lit up, glowing orange-yellow. The dim lights were followed by numerous lamps illuminating consecutively, outlining a path.

The Ghost Kill Alliance Leader felt his hair stand on end. This was wrong; even with a natural talent for spiritual power, a mortal shouldn't have such a vast Spiritual Space!

Clank—clank—

The sound of metal clashing rang out, a sound the Ghost Kill Alliance Leader was all too familiar with from his interrogation techniques—the sound of chains rattling.

Why would there be the sound of chains in a Spiritual Space?

At the end of the path lit by the orange-yellow lamps, a white figure appeared, constrained by dark chains on its limbs, the other ends of the chains stretching into unknown reaches.

The white figure slowly lifted its head, revealing a snow-white smile, "I thought Su Yuan would be the first visitor here."

The Ghost Kill Alliance Leader couldn't believe his eyes, feeling a shiver run down his spine.

"Who, who are you!"

The grand voice echoed throughout the Spiritual Space, causing the Ghost Kill Alliance Leader's Nascent Soul to turn even dimmer.

"Who am I? I too wish to know the answer. All I remember is that this body was too weak to bear my entire soul, and thus, I had no choice but to seal myself here."

The Ghost Kill Alliance Leader offered an apologetic smile and silently left the Spiritual Space, "With a senior here, I shall not intrude."

"Coming here, did you still think of leaving?"

The candle snuffed out, screams emanated from the Spiritual Space, quickly fading as if nothing had happened.

Struggling to enter a meditative state, Su Yuan shuddered, sensing unnoticed changes in his body.

"Kid, let me tell you some good news..." The voice sounded quite pleased.

Su Yuan suddenly slapped his forehead, "Damn it, it's all because you kept teaching me meditation. Now it's this late, if I don't go to school soon, I'll be late!"

"Good news..."

"Let's talk after class, Mr. Lu said that one must not be distracted during class."

...

"Boss, the trail of the Ghost Kill Alliance Leader vanishes in a hut, empty of any people," a disciple at the Nascent Soul Stage from the Jiuyou Sect reported to Huo Huashen.

The Ghost Kill Alliance Leader had secret techniques to escape, and the Jiuyou Sect had secret techniques to track their enemies. They had been following them all the way to Muxue City, where the trail abruptly ended, as if the leader had evaporated from the Mortal World.

"A single hut?"

"Yes, the owner of that hut is an orphan named Su Yuan."

"Orphan? Su Yuan?"

Huo Huashen set down his teacup in contemplation, "Could it be that the Ghost Kill Alliance Leader possessed Su Yuan to escape?"

"Uh, it seems he didn't escape. According to our investigation, Su Yuan went to a place called Tiger Roar Martial Arts Hall early in the morning."

Huo Huashen sneered, "Maintaining habits from before possession to deceive others."

He picked up his teacup, drank the tea in one gulp, smashed the cup, and stood up to leave.

"The Ghost Kill Alliance Leader is a person personally assigned by the Master. We absolutely cannot let him escape again, follow me!"

"Yes!"

Twenty disciples at the Nascent Soul Stage shouted in unison, causing the entire room to shake.

Huo Huashen led his people directly to Tiger Roar Martial Arts Hall. Allowing the Ghost Kill Alliance Leader to escape under his watch was a disgrace. If he let it happen again, how could he face the Vice Sect Hierarch and the Master?

"Boss, this is the place!" A subordinate pointed out the location to Huo Huashen.

Huo Huashen, seething with killing intent, pushed open the wooden door, and his followers poured in, forming a line to support their boss.

Such an imposing scene could not just kill the Ghost Kill Alliance Leader—it could scare him to death!

Huo Huashen's murderous gaze swept across each student as he tried to identify Su Yuan. The students, having never seen such a spectacle, trembled in fear.

Until Huo Huashen saw Lu Yang teaching boxing, he too started to shudder.

Why was Lu Yang here?!

"What are you doing here, frightening the children?" Lu Yang frowned, annoyed that someone was disrupting his class.

And why was Huo Huashen, a member of the Jiuyou Sect, here?

Huo Huashen stepped back, hammered the wooden door twice trying to break it, "Look at your Martial Hall's door... Damn it, Ten-thousand-year-old Coiled Dragon Wood!"

He hadn't noticed when entering — why was the door of this shabby Martial Hall made from Ten-thousand-year-old Coiled Dragon Wood?

Even his boss, Vice Sect Hierarch Shi, didn't have such fine material.

"Are you also here to change the door?"

In the Extreme Northern Lands where pouring water would turn to ice, huge beads of sweat the size of soybeans formed on Huo Huashen's forehead as his mind raced.

"What I mean is, such a big Martial Hall and you don't even have a doorman; we are here to apply for the position."
