Chapter 57: The Princess's Purpose

Beidou University, training room.

Lu Xun held a long sword, his sword brows slightly furrowed, fully focused as he vibrated his true qi throughout his body.

He lightly turned his wrist, the sword's edge tracing a mysterious trajectory in the air, continuously chopping at the stone taller than a person before him.

Lu Xun's sword moves appeared chaotic and disorderly, like the random swinging of a beginner.

But upon closer inspection, one would discover that hidden within the chaos lay profound subtlety; each sword seemed to resonate with heaven and earth, containing an ineffable rhythmic beauty.

Hu—

A few seconds later, Lu Xun sheathed his sword and stood still.

The stone ahead remained intact, without the slightest damage.

Pap-pat~

Lu Xun clapped his hands.

The air was shaken by him.

This triggered a chain reaction.

Cracks like a spiderweb suddenly appeared on the boulder's surface, and it immediately collapsed with a boom, turning into hundreds of angular fragments.

What sharp sword qi!

Lu Xun bent down to pick up a fragment, his fingertip lightly brushing over the mirror-smooth cut surface, a flicker of surprise flashing in his eyes.

The cut surfaces of these stones were exceptionally smooth, just like mirrors.

There is no doubt about that.

They were all cut open by Lu Xun's sword qi.

This sword qi was so sharp that, even after slicing the stone into hundreds of pieces, the stone remained intact.

Only when Lu Xun clapped his hands did the stone seem to realize it was no longer a whole.

From this, one can see the degree of sharpness of this sword qi.

Indeed, it's a not-bad sword technique.

After the Taia Sword Technique was returned, it became the Ten Tribulations Formless Sword.

This sword technique is extremely powerful; just the first form makes Lu Xun's sword qi abnormally sharp.

Another formidable aspect of the Ten Tribulations Formless Sword is that its moves are formless and traceless, the sword penetrates the Grand Void, and its techniques are like flowers in a mirror, moon in water, and like mist—elusive and hard to fathom.

Put simply, it's no-technique beats technique.

Let's get a good sword later.

Lu Xun sheathed his sword.

This sword was exchanged by him at the school's supplies office using Dark Energy.

Beidou University's supplies office can exchange for many things.

For example, elixirs, weapons, armor, precious clothing, etc.

The quality of these things is not bad, belonging to medium-high.

If one wants better things, they must spend a lot of money to buy them outside.

Or by achieving good rankings in some competitions held by the school and on the important year-end Ranking List, there is a certain chance to obtain rewards in these areas.

Lu Xun's sword was exchanged by him using two thousand Dark Energy; its quality is too ordinary.

Two days later, late at night.

Xiao Bai turned into Princess Barbara again.

She can awaken only once a month.

Each awakening lasts only a short time, just two or three minutes.

Aaaah, I told you not to give me a bath...

As soon as Princess Barbara awakened, she received last month's memories, instantly fur bristling, her two front paws flailing wildly in the air.

However, this time she finally did not pounce to 'kill' Lu Xun.

Lu Xun lazily propped himself up from the bed, supporting his cheek with one hand: 'If I were you, I wouldn't waste time on this meaningless complaining.'

Seems right.

Princess Barbara tilted her head, thought for a moment, her ears twitching slightly, and immediately softened her angry expression.

How about it, I didn't lie to you, right? Isn't that incantation very useful?

Then she proudly raised her tail, the light of pride flashing in her blue-green cat eyes.

Lu Xun nodded: 'Indeed useful.'

Want to learn the second one? Princess Barbara stepped closer, lowering her voice mysteriously: 'This is a supportive incantation that can double your combat power for a short time. If repeatedly cast...'

She deliberately paused, then continued: 'Combat power can still be stacked~'

Combat power doubles? It can still be stacked?

Speak.

Lu Xun raised an eyebrow, remaining expressionless.

Listen well, this incantation is very long—— Princess Barbara cleared her throat, solemnly chanting: 'Abaka beibei cama duo... *&&~'

Under the moonlight, the ragdoll cat's whiskers trembled lightly with the chant.

She repeated it five times until she confirmed Lu Xun had fully mastered it.

This is my blood; try it, let me see if you chant it correctly.

Princess Barbara extended a drop of blood with her tiny paw.

Her eagerness made Lu Xun suspicious instead.

The princess is the princess, Xiao Bai is Xiao Bai.

Although Xiao Bai is the instinct of Babala's body after her consciousness fell asleep.

But it is precisely this instinct that is all the more reliable.

After Babala's consciousness awakens, she might actually play little tricks on Lu Xun.

Let's try again later.

Then Lu Xun said lightly.

The incantation is very long and requires certain pronunciation skills; if you mispronounce any syllable, it's useless. Are you sure you don't want me to teach you?

Babala blinked her eyes.

Why don't you first tell me, what's your purpose in teaching me these incantations? In this world, there's no such thing as unreasonable kindness.

Lu Xun stared at her eyes and asked.

It's simple. I want you to help me, to help me lift the curse on my body. This is hard for you now, so I'll give you more support so you can grow smoothly.

Babala said solemnly.

Help her lift the curse on her body?

Lu Xun stroked his chin thoughtfully: 'Why choose me? If you want to find help, those experts from the East would be your best choice.'

No.

Babala shook her head firmly, moonlight casting a mysterious shadow in her eyes: 'This is fate's choice, and also my only chance to turn things around.'

Fate's choice?

'Exactly.' Babala took a step forward, her voice a whisper: 'I fell under the sleeping curse; originally I would never wake up, until I met you…'

Saying this, a glint flashed in her cat-like pupils: 'Your aura is so special it can actually loosen the curse. If this isn't fate, what is?'

A special aura also causes a loosening in Babala's sleeping curse.

Could it be due to the Chaos Divine Body?

Lu Xun felt that this was quite possible.

As long as I can lift the threefold curse on my body... meow...

Babala hadn't finished speaking before she lost her voice again.

Then her consciousness fell back into sleep, and she became Xiao Bai once more.

If nothing unexpected happens, the next time her consciousness awakens should be next month.
