Chapter 256: 256, [You need to let go of your restraint, girl!] (Seeking monthly votes at the end of the month)

A person’s cultivation physique is basically determined at birth, unless there are some heavenly treasures, or some great opportunity arises, there might be a possibility of improving one’s physique.

The Marquis now has one more energy channel open, which, in the short term, may not seem significant, since it’s just one extra channel.

But if looked at in the long run, over time, this could potentially help him break through another bottleneck in his cultivation!

And for someone like him, who has average aptitude, it’s an unexpected help in the nick of time!

At this time, although Lu Xun wore a warm smile on his face, giving off a knowing and predictive demeanor, he was slowly forming a question mark in his mind.

“Was it an accident?” he wondered.

Could it be that by some fluke, I helped him open up a channel?

Is the reason he vomited blood and fainted later because his physique improved?

This sounds a bit unrealistic.

But looking at it from a probability point of view, it’s not impossible, just highly unlikely to the point of near-zero.

Still, Lu Xun thought something didn’t feel right.

It’s not that he didn’t consider his teacher, just that it would be even more unlikely if his teacher had bestowed such fortune upon his student.

The reason is simple; both Mao Nanbei and the Third Elder have said that the teacher seldom cares about the affairs within the Demon Sect.

The grand competition of the Outer Sect may be an important event to others, but the teacher never pays attention.

Therefore, the teacher could be ruled out initially.

Lu Xun then reasoned backwards in his heart.

“If it really was the teacher, then it implies the teacher is actually observing the grand competition of the Outer Sect.”

“And yet he never paid any attention to the previous competitions. Why is he so concerned this time?”

“Is it because this time’s competition, compared to the previous ones, is different?”

“So let’s start from the difference, the biggest change in this competition of the Outer Sect is the added group of players!”

“Of course, there’s also my handsome self, hehe.”

“In other words, if it really was the teacher, then it implies…”

That the teacher has always been silently watching those players.”

Of course, this is just an assumption, not to say that it can completely ascertain this conclusion.

Who knows if the teacher was just bored and decided to cast a glance with his divine sense?

Or perhaps he just appears to be indifferent outwardly, while he actually cares deeply inwardly!

Given the teacher’s usual playful demeanor, Lu Xun thought, it might be possible…

Just then, he felt a light tug on his sleeve.

The one who tugged was Ji Li.

Lu Xun and she exchanged a glance, Ji Li made a subtle signal to him, then pointed with her chin at Marquis who was still performing the ritual.

Lu Xun only then realized he had been distracted. He stepped forward to help him up and said, “There’s no need for formalities.”

Seeing that the Marquis wanted to say something else, Lu Xun raised his hand to stop him and said, “The road of Sword Dao is long, I hope you will never forget your original aspiration and keep moving forward.”

Upon hearing this, the Marquis hurriedly replied, “The Marquis will keep your teachings in mind!”

Lu Xun smiled and nodded, offering no further words.

Respectfully watched by the Marquis, he left the courtyard with Ji Li without lingering or asking anymore.

“As for this so-called transformation… regardless of how it came about, it is bound to have some connection with me. So, rounding it off, it’s not that much different from saying I gave him this transformative opportunity!”

Let this be a beautiful misunderstanding.

After leaving the Marquis’s courtyard, Lu Xun escorted Ji Li back to her residence.

Since the Marquis is well now, he should descend the mountain in a few days.

As for this so-called Sword Pond Successor, Lu Xun had never heard of him in his previous life, it remains to be seen if there would be any changes this time.

“Young Elder!”

“Young Elder!”
