Chapter 10: Spontaneous Explosion

"Body Tempering Ten Stages... She should be about to open her meridians, right?"

After Murong Wan reached Body Tempering Ten Stages, the next step was to open her meridians.

Lu Xun couldn't help but feel some anticipation.

He continued his own lying flat, while also deliberately avoiding Martial Teacher Wu.

To avoid Martial Teacher Wu discovering his slacking and being disappointed.

After opening the meridians, let's make Martial Teacher Wu happy again.

"Wow, a Fourth Realm Master is coming to guide meridian opening?"

A new piece of news made the students excited.

Tomorrow morning, a Fourth Realm Martial Dao Master will come to Rong Cheng No. 1 High to guide meridian opening.

"Alright, it's useless for me."

Lu Xun lacked interest.

He can't cultivate anyway; not to mention a Fourth Realm Master, even if a Fifth or Sixth Realm expert came, it wouldn't help him at all.

"Lu Xun, you didn't expect me to come, did you?"

The next day, in the auditorium, Chu Youqing suddenly appeared before Lu Xun.

She wore a JK skirt, with a refreshing white shirt on top, looking fresh and sweet.

"Junior sister, you sit, I'll go find another seat."

Li Bulian voluntarily gave up his seat.

"Young Master Lin, Chu Youqing, Chu Youqing has arrived."

A little brother with sharp eyes spotted Chu Youqing.

Lin Yan saw that Chu Youqing actually sat down next to Lu Xun, and instantly he was displeased.

He whoosh jumped up, intending to cause trouble for Lu Xun.

"Young Master Lin, stay calm, the master is coming soon..."

Lin Yan had no choice but to sit down unwillingly, his eyes blazing as he looked at the backs of Lu Xun and Chu Youqing.

"I have some good news to tell you."

Beside Lu Xun, Chu Youqing pursed her lips and said.

"What good news?"

Lu Xun had actually already guessed it.

"I haven't been able to open my meridians, my mother's friend is best at helping people open meridians, but she was also helpless, so she brought me to see a very powerful Immortal Cultivator for a check-up."

"Guess what? I actually have an ancient spirit root!"

Chu Youqing said happily.

"Congratulations."

Lu Xun offered his congratulations.

"The teacher from Qingbei Admissions Office said that as long as I can activate my ancient spirit root, even if I don't open a meridian before the big exam, I can still be directly admitted."

Chu Youqing became happier the more she spoke.

Lu Xun fell silent for a few seconds, then said: "Your little aunt has now become a peerless genius, so you no longer need to worry about that scoundrel's harm; you too have become a genius, while I may very well fail to open my meridians, Chu Youqing, we..."

"Lu Xun, you are not allowed to continue speaking!"

Chu Youqing covered Lu Xun's mouth with one hand.

"Damn!"

"Young Master Lin, stay calm, stay calm!"

This action almost made Lin Yan jump up.

"I know what you want to say, but I tell you, no way."

Chu Youqing stared with her big, watery eyes, speaking angrily.

After a moment, she suddenly realized something, and her cheeks began to heat up.

"If you promise not to say those two words, I'll let go."

She said.

Lu Xun nodded.

Only then did Chu Youqing hastily move her hand away.

The sensation still lingering in her palm made her heart feel like a deer bumping around wildly.

"Why?"

Lu Xun did not understand.

He had always felt that Chu Youqing agreed to his pursuit merely to help her little aunt.

Now her little aunt's problem is resolved, and she herself has become a genius possessing an ancient spirit root.

What reason is there left to continue being with him?

Lu Xun does not believe that Chu Youqing is someone who only looks at appearance.

If it were in the old era, perhaps it could be possible.

In the high martial era, pairing looks with something useful is still the ultimate trump card.

But standing alone, it's just a useless card.

"How could there be so many whys? Anyway, don't even think about getting rid of me."

"As for opening meridians, I will help you. I used my private savings to buy a lot of Dark Energy, the vial of Jia's Meridian-Opening Pill given by my little aunt is also here, and I have also devised a meridian-opening plan for you. We will work together, striving to open three meridians before the big exam."

Chu Youqing began to plan with full confidence.

"Chu Youqing, I'm lazy— don't waste your time on me. You should still try to activate your Ancient Spiritual Root."

Seeing Chu Youqing so eager, Lu Xun became afraid.

Anyway, he can't cultivate, so what's wrong with just lying around comfortably every day? Why bother making an effort? Is it just pointless work?

"The Ancient Spiritual Root doesn't need me to worry about it— my parents will help me figure something out. Your laziness doesn't matter; I'll supervise you."

Chu Youqing had made up her mind to help Lu Xun open his meridians.

"It's over, Murong Wan— hurry up and open your meridians!"

Lu Xun had a headache.

"The Grandmaster has arrived."

At that moment, a figure with a tiger's back and bear's waist strode in like a dragon and tiger, his aura like a mountain pressing down, leaving everyone holding their breath.

As soon as he appeared, the Grandmaster's aura swept over the entire hall, making all the students' hearts skip and a chill rise.

The entire Grand Hall fell silent in an instant.

Lu Xun and Chu Youqing likewise stopped talking.

"Immortal Dao Primordial Spirit, Martial Dao Will— opening the meridians is not only a challenge to the body's limits, but also a tempering of the will..."

On the lecture platform, the Four Realm Grandmaster began his lecture.

The students sat up straight, listening especially attentively.

For the vast majority of people here, aside from occasions like this, when would they ever get such a close chance to encounter a Grandmaster in daily life?

Only Lu Xun grew sleepier the more he listened.

It's not that this Four Realm Grandmaster lectures poorly.

Rather, it's because he cannot cultivate himself, so listening is pointless for him.

As he listened, Lu Xun started to doze off.

"Lu Xun, no sleeping— pay attention to the lecture."

Lu Xun wanted to sleep but couldn't manage to.

Chu Youqing supervised him from the side, insisting that Lu Xun listen to the lecture.

"Lu Xun, hurry up and answer."

Moreover, she eagerly raised her hand to answer questions— except she was raising Lu Xun's hand.

"Lu Xun, I've applied for a Gravity Chamber for you, here's some Dark Energy, and here's a Jia Clan Opening Meridian Pill— take it quickly..."

"Lu Xun, don't slack off— I'm keeping an eye on you."

"Lu Xun..."

"Lu Xun, how can you be so lazy?"

After the Four Realm Grandmaster's lecture ended, Lu Xun continued to be forced to work.

Chu Youqing wholeheartedly wanted to help him open his meridians, guarding Lu Xun the entire afternoon.

This made Lu Xun's head swell.

"Damn it!!!"

Someone's mood was ten thousand times worse than Lu Xun's.

That was Lin Yan.

Chu Youqing and Lu Xun were so close that it made him furious.

"Chu Youqing, what's the use of guarding such an unambitious waste? He can even fall asleep during the Four Realm Grandmaster's lecture, and no matter how many Jia Clan Opening Meridian Pills he takes, he still can't open his meridians— he's pure iron trash!"

Lin Yan burned with jealousy, rushing over to hurl insults at Lu Xun.

"He's my boyfriend, I'm happy to."

"Lu Xun, let's go— ignore him."

Chu Youqing grabbed Lu Xun and left.

She hadn't opened her meridians yet, nor had Lu Xun; she feared that if Lu Xun clashed with Lin Yan, he would be at a disadvantage.

"Lu Xun, if you've got the guts, don't leave..."

"What are you fussing about in the Training Chamber?"

Teacher Wu arrived; he wouldn't stand for Lin Yan, cleverly blocking him so he couldn't chase after Lu Xun.

Lu Xun glanced back at Lin Yan, taking Chu Youqing's little hand in his.

"Ahhh!"

"Lu Xun, I'm going to kill you!"

This action made Lin Yan so angry he nearly exploded on the spot.
