Chapter 373 - 220: Do You Like the New Wife or the Old Wife? (3)

Jiang Man paid no mind to the others’ stares and thoughts.

Instead, he began his Cultivation.

"Seriously? He’s cultivating on a Flying Sword?" Han Meixue frowned. "Isn’t it easy to lose control of your Heart Spirit?"

Jiang Wen shook his head. "Sword Control doesn’t consume much of your Heart Spirit, so it’s possible to cultivate. But the results won’t necessarily be good. He’d be better off joining us on our Flying Sword so he could focus entirely on his Cultivation."

"Should we remind him? If something goes wrong with his Cultivation, it’ll be a loss for our team. I’m just worried he’s trying to show off how diligent he is and will end up shooting himself in the foot. Young people are like that—their temperament isn’t stable enough," Long Yangxia said.

Han Meixue pondered for a moment. "Do you think he saw how beautiful I am and is deliberately acting like this to get my attention?

"Still, he is impressive. He’s definitely caught my eye."

The sturdy Long Yangxia ignored Han Meixue and looked at Zhuo Qingcheng. "Senior Sister, should we remind him?"

Zhuo Qingcheng thought for a moment before shaking her head. "Let’s leave it for now. There’s no need to say anything.

"If he’s doing this, he must have some degree of confidence."

Zhuo Qingcheng also wanted to see if Jiang Man was just trying to show off or if he could truly cultivate normally under these conditions.

This would be a way to gauge his personality and abilities.

If he truly possessed such skill, he would surely have other options if they encountered trouble later on.

It was essential to observe him now to inform their own choices later.

If he failed this time, they would need to be more cautious next time.

It would be clear at a glance whether this was a true display of strength or just a desperate attempt to succeed.

「One day later.」

They saw that Jiang Man showed no signs of instability.

「Two days later.」

They realized Jiang Man hadn’t even glanced at them.

「Three days later.」

They discovered that Jiang Man was cultivating without sleep or rest, completely sealed off from the outside world.

They were somewhat surprised, realizing that there was a reason some people could achieve success.

「Five days later.」

A burst of light erupted from Jiang Man’s body.

It was like a hundred rivers converging.

The sight left them in shock.

"A breakthrough?" Long Yangxia asked in astonishment.

Han Meixue asked, "Is that a Body Refining Skill?"

Zhuo Qingcheng stared at Jiang Man. "The Hundred Rivers Body Refining Technique. And from the looks of it, he’s at the Tenth Layer or higher."

’The All Rivers Flow into the Sea series?’

’The Tenth Layer?’

’Isn’t he still in the Outer Sect?’

The All Rivers Flow into the Sea series was notoriously difficult to cultivate.

In the fifty years of the Inner Sect, very few managed to cultivate this series to the Great Success stage.

The Tenth Layer was about the limit for most.

Yet this person before them had already reached such a level without even entering the Inner Sect.

"A genius," Han Meixue blurted out. She immediately turned to the others. "Now that he’s had a breakthrough, he’s bound to take a break. If I go over and ask how he’s doing, do you think he’ll assume I like him?

"That I want to start something with him?"

Long Yangxia and Jiang Wen paid her no mind.

Long Yangxia said, "He certainly has the right to be arrogant, but his Cultivation level is still a bit lacking. We don’t know how he handles situations yet—we’ll have to see during the mission.

"For now, as long as he doesn’t act recklessly, he won’t cause any trouble."

Jiang Wen said, "Let’s talk to him later and see what he thinks about the mission. If he’s too arrogant and ignorant, we should try to keep him from acting on his own."

Everyone nodded. Now, all they had to do was wait for Jiang Man to finish his practice.

However, Jiang Man didn’t stop. He continued his Cultivation.

One day.

Two days.

Five days.

Ten days.

They were stunned. ’Doesn’t he ever rest?’

Cultivating like this, and even continuing to improve, made the others restless.

"Maybe... I should cultivate for a bit too? I’ll sit on your Flying Sword," Han Meixue said.

Zhuo Qingcheng had already sunk into her own Cultivation.

Long Yangxia and the others had no choice but to take turns at Sword Control while the rest of them cultivated as well.

"What’s going on?" Long Yangxia frowned. Their team had inexplicably turned into a group of Ascetic Cultivators.

’If this keeps up, are we going to have to cultivate like this all the way to the Ancient Cultivators’ gathering place?’

Zhuo Qingcheng sighed inwardly. She suddenly understood Zhuo Bufan a little better.

Ever since sharing a courtyard with Jiang Man, he had not only never rested, but he spent every single spare moment on Cultivation.

Someone with more Talent and a higher Cultivation level was still cultivating—so how could he possibly stop?

Fortunately, the place he was undercover was relatively normal, so he didn’t have to cultivate constantly and affect the mission’s progress.

In the midst of this, Jiang Man finally stopped his practice and took out a sheet of paper to write.

’It’s been half a month; I have to write a letter to Miss Ji.’

He reported truthfully, explaining what had happened during this time.

For instance, he wrote that everyone was easy to get along with and that no one had disturbed his Cultivation.

After half a month, they had even started cultivating along with him.

They were all Student Cultivators who loved to cultivate.

He would have to cultivate even harder so he wouldn’t be outdone by them.

「The next day.」

Reading the contents of the letter, the corners of Ji Meng’s mouth turned up slightly.

Qing Dai asked curiously, "Miss, what did the Young Master write?"
