No matter how hard he tried, this time he couldn’t fall asleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget it, Sect Leader Niu, let’s stop here for today. You should rest early.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ultimately, Xia Feng gave up and left with the Bull Subduing Technique secret manual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Niu Zhan watched Xia Feng’s departing figure, slightly frowning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s going on with this Xia Feng?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Talking about talent, yet he couldn’t understand the explanation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Talking about lack of talent, yet after a sleep, he could rise nine levels straight, reaching the realm of an Earth Tier First Layer Martial Artist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that he needs to sleep to cultivate?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is too bizarre.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving Niu Zhan’s courtyard, Xia Feng went straight to the Xia Family’s Martial Pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There lay the martial arts and techniques of the Xia Family, although the highest was only High Level Top Grade, it was enough for the current Xia Feng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young City Lord!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guard of the Martial Pavilion was an elderly person with white hair, a Yellow Tier Ninth Layer Martial King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elder Xia!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Feng saluted the elder, showing respect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was said that this old man came to Xingyu City with his grandfather, granted the surname Xia by his grandfather, and was utterly loyal to the Xia Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His father treated the elder like a father; naturally, he also had to be respectful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Xia Feng hurriedly approaching the Martial Pavilion, Elder Xia asked with curiosity, \"Young City Lord, what is so urgent?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Feng smiled and said, \"Elder Xia, I am here to select a martial technique.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Select a martial technique?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Xia was shocked, a flash of brilliance flickered in his old and cloudy eyes, surprised, \"Young City Lord has broken through?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm!\" Xia Feng nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good, good, good!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Xia was full of joy, patting Xia Feng’s shoulder and laughing, \"Good lad, I knew you could do it. Come with me, I will personally pick a martial technique for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he turned around and entered the Martial Pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Feng smiled and followed behind Elder Xia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This Thunderbolt Fist is not bad, although it’s only Low Level Lower Grade, it is very suitable for Yellow Tier Martial Artists to cultivate.\" Elder Xia picked a martial technique from the shelf and handed it over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Feng shook his head and said, \"Elder Xia, I’m not a Yellow Tier Martial Artist; I am an Earth Tier Ninth Layer Martial Artist. I want to cultivate Flowing Light Swordsmanship.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that it’s confirmed that the Dream Realm Pearl can affect reality, Xia Feng naturally wouldn’t pick those low-level martial techniques. Flowing Light Swordsmanship was the only High Level Top Grade martial technique in the Xia Family’s Martial Pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he also understood that the reason the Five Top Grade Saintesses behaved as such was probably due to the influence of the Dream Realm Pearl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since this is the case, he naturally had no resistance to the dowries sent by the Five Top Grade Saintesses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Qingxue Sword gifted by the Celestial Sword Saintess, he quite liked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, he didn’t dare to accept it, worried that the Five Top Grade Saintesses had ulterior motives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, he need not worry about those.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the Purple Thunder Fruit, it was too powerful; he dared not consume it yet. He would have to wait for the Five Top Grade Saintesses to return and protect him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he was going to use the Qingxue Sword, naturally, he needed to choose a swordsmanship martial technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Earth Tier Ninth Layer Martial Artist?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Xia’s body shook, grabbing Xia Feng’s arm, using True Essence only possessed by a Martial King to explore, and exclaimed, \"You indeed reached the realm of an Earth Tier Ninth Layer Martial Artist? Young City Lord, weren’t you a Martial Disciple just yesterday?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To be precise, two hours ago, I was still a Martial Disciple.\" Xia Feng replied with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For this elder who had safeguarded three generations of the Xia Family, he did not hide anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, his situation was known by everyone in the Xia Family, even all of Xingyu City; hiding was impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless he never used his Inner Strength, which was absolutely impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Two hours? From a Martial Disciple to an Earth Tier Ninth Layer Martial Artist?\" Elder Xia’s eyes widened, filled with astonishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, good, good, good, if the old master knew this from below the ground, he would be so happy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Xia laughed, but while laughing, tears fell unchecked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Feng smiled and said, \"Elder Xia, can you explain this Flowing Light Swordsmanship for me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, absolutely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Xia nodded, picked up the \"Flowing Light Swordsmanship\" book, and began explaining to Xia Feng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Feng sat on a chair, resting his chin in his hands, and reminded, \"Elder Xia, if I fall asleep while listening, please do not stop or wake me, but continue to explain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh! Alright!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Xia was taken aback by such a strange request but still nodded in agreement, then began explaining, \"Flowing Light Swordsmanship emphasizes speed. As fast as flowing light, leaving the enemy defenseless, and its power is decent...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Feng really listened earnestly, but his talent was too poor. Listening made him dizzy, and he soon fell asleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snoring echoed in the Martial Pavilion, the expression of Elder Xia, who was passionately explaining, froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asleep?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Xia’s mouth twitched slightly, thinking of closing the martial technique book, then remembered Xia Feng’s prior reminder, gritted his teeth, and continued to explain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had explained martial techniques to the entire Xia Family guard, but this was the first time explaining to someone asleep; it felt odd beyond words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, in the depth of Xia Feng’s sleeping soul, the Dream Realm Pearl emitted a faint white light again, outlining a dream realm world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The explanations of Elder Xia sounded like the Great Dao, resonating continuously in the dream realm world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Xia Feng, following Elder Xia’s explanations, kept practicing the Flowing Light Swordsmanship in the dream realm world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five hundred years in a dream passed in a blink, Xia Feng awoke automatically from his slumber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the drowsy Elder Xia, Xia Feng asked, \"Elder Xia, how long was I asleep?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Xia shook off his lethargy, awakening instantly, set the martial technique book aside, and smiled, \"Young City Lord, it’s been an hour and a half. High Level Top Grade martial techniques are somewhat advanced for the current Young City Lord. Shall I get you a Low Level Top Grade swordsmanship instead?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need, I think I’ve already learned it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Feng smiled faintly as he spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Xia was utterly flabbergasted, learning a martial technique in a sleep? And a High Level Top Grade martial technique?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is that possible?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obviously not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Xia shook his head, thinking Xia Feng was lying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had never heard of someone learning a martial technique from sleeping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clearly heard Xia Feng snoring earlier, sleeping soundly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, practicing martial techniques isn’t something achieved sitting down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Feng smiled slightly without saying much. Just now, a surge of memory appeared in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every move of the Flowing Light Swordsmanship lay within it, each move felt familiar, as if he had practiced for many years.\u003C\u002Fp>",1298,"2026-06-05T22:57:42.529Z",1,"novelbin.me","f338b0f7bb948d92bb67f46b168f02c7052c29f546b9a76b995e07e700985c14","pursued-by-the-top-grade-saintess-after-engageme-chapter-26","pursued-by-the-top-grade-saintess-after-engageme-chapter-24",634,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpursued-by-the-top-grade-saintess-after-engageme-cover.jpg"]
