Chapter 13
Yun Mochen: “……”
Luo Wuqing expressionlessly sheathed her sword and picked up a spear nearby:
“Of course, no single weapon is the strongestâonly the one most suited to you.”
“Take the spear for example. Many actually prefer this weapon.”
“Spears have long reach and high damage, making them more suitable for strength-based cultivators like body refiners.”
As soon as she finished speaking.
Luo Wuqing swung the spear again, its blade cutting through the air with visible ripples.
“There’s also the saber…”
Luo Wuqing patiently demonstrated dozens of weapons for the students when the System suddenly asked Yun Mochen:
“Master, what weapon do you want to specialize in?”
Yun Mochen didn’t answer immediately, contemplating seriously for a long while.
Images of all the weapons Luo Wuqing had demonstrated flashed through his mind.
Finally, he declared with absolute determination:
“I want to master them all.”
“Sigh… Just like back then…”
“What?”
Yun Mochen seemed to catch an extremely faint sigh in his mind, but the System hastily denied it:
“Huh? Master! You must be hearing things!”
“I didn’t say anything…”
The System’s odd reaction puzzled Yun Mochen, who asked curiously:
“What? Can’t I learn them all?”
“Master, one cannot serve two masters at once!”
“With you helping me, what’s there to fear about learning?”
“But Master…”
“System Child, think about itâwhat if someday my sword gets lost or broken?”
“And there happens to be a spear nearbyâshould I fight barehanded just because I can’t use it?”
“But Master…”
“No buts, System Child! I believe in your capabilities!”
“It’s just blood energyâonce my cultivation improves, I’ll hunt hundreds of demon beasts if I need more!”
Yun Mochen’s words left the System speechless.
After a long pause.
The System reluctantly conceded: “Very well, Master.”
Yun Mochen chuckled:
“Of course, I’ll focus more on one weapon as my specialty.”
“And that’s the sword!”
The System asked curiously: “Master, why choose the sword?”
“Because sword cultivators are dashing! Soaring through skies on a flying sword, carefree between heaven and earth, cleaving the firmament with a laugh!”
At that moment.
Luo Wuqing addressed the class:
“Students, you must understandâchoosing a suitable weapon is easy.”
“But achieving mastery in any weapon is extremely difficult!”
“Take the sword that most of you choseâin truth, sword cultivation is the hardest path.”
Someone in the crowd suddenly asked:
“Why’s that, Teacher Luo?”
“I thought swords were pretty easy to pick up!”
“Yeah Teacher Luo, sword cultivation seems simple!”
As he spoke, Lu Ming deliberately swung his sword before the crowd, striking what he thought was a dashing pose.
Having already lost face earlier, he was trying to regain some dignity.
Luo Wuqing shook her head slightly, suppressing the faint mockery in her eyes:
“To become a true sword cultivator, one must first achieve the feat of splitting a hair with one’s sword.”
“If you can’t even manage that, don’t even think about it.”
She then gestured for Lu Ming to approach.
“Ow! What are youâTeacher Luo!”
Luo Wuqing gave him a glance, plucked a hair from his head, and tossed it into the air.
Whoosh!
In an instant.
A flash of sword light.
When the students recovered from their daze, they saw itâ
A ten-centimeter strand of hair, perfectly bisected midair, the two halves gently floating down.
Most shockingly, both segments were exactly equal in length, without the slightest discrepancy!
Gaspâ!
Incredible!
“System Child, I’m definitely becoming a sword cultivator!”
Yun Mochen’s eyes shone with excitement.
Back when he browsed online.
He’d seen many videos about sword cultivation, but none could compare to Luo Wuqing’s live demonstration!
“Teacher Luo, are you actually a sword cultivator?!”
A female student exclaimed in surprise.
Without denying it, Luo Wuqing gave a slight nod before saying:
“Alright, you may now try different weapons to find what suits you best.”
“If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.”
Whoaâ!
Luo Wuqing’s admission.
Added another layer of mystique to her already enigmatic identity, sparking lively discussions among students.
Some even cast suggestive glances her way:
“Teacher Luo is so amazing… If only she could be my girlfriend!”
“Hmph! As if her excellence matters to you! You just lust after her beauty!”
“Shh! Keep it down! Want Teacher Luo to beat you up?”
“Tchâhypocrite. Unlike you, I genuinely admire Teacher Luo’s character.”
“Get lost!!!”
Hearing their chatter, Yun Mochen couldn’t help but laugh quietly before asking Xu Jiupan, who was busy devouring boiled eggs:
“Jiupan, what weapon are you choosing?”
Xu Jiupan didn’t answer immediately, first stuffing the last egg into his mouth before brandishing his bamboo skewer:
“Brother Yun, I’m going with the spear!”
“How’s that for style?”
“A spear cultivator?”
Though spears had greater reach, they were somewhat clunkier compared to swordsâquite fitting for a burly cultivator like Xu Jiupan.
Yun Mochen patted his shoulder, “Go for it.”
Xu Jiupan grinned, then suddenly remembered something: “By the way Brother Yun, what did you choose?”
“All of them, with sword as my main.”
“Wha…”
Xu Jiupan gasped.
Learning one or two weapons simultaneously would be understandable.
But all of them? What kind of madness was that?
“Hahaha! Everyone! Come look at this braggart!”
“Yesterday he boasted about defeating Jiang Nantian, son of Emperor Jiang, in the college exams!”
“Today he claims he’ll ‘master all weapons’! This is too hilarious!”
Lu Ming, who’d been eavesdropping, seized the chance to hurl vicious mockery their way.
With teachers present, he was confident Xu Jiupan and Yun Mochen wouldn’t dare attack him publicly.
He wanted Yun Mochen to understandâcrossing him came with consequences!
Instantly, the whole class buzzed with gossip:
“No way, did Yun Mochen spend all his reincarnation points on looks and forget to allocate any for brains?”
“Master all weapons? Multitasking to the extreme?? Is he insane?”
“Leave him beâwhat can you expect from an orphanage kid who only knows how to boast…”
“ENOUGH!”
A terrifying aura suddenly erupted across the training ground!
All the students who’d mocked Yun Mochenâincluding Lu Mingâwere sent flying to the ground!
Luo Wuqing’s breathtaking face now showed not beauty, but dark, thunderous rage.
In a dangerously quiet voice, she said:
“Mock your classmates like that again, and your parents will be collecting you from the infirmary after school.”
“Mochen, come with me.”
With those words, she turned and walked out.
“Brothers… Did I imagine it just now?”
“Did Teacher Luo… emanate killing intent…?”
Lu Ming shakily got up from the ground, his back drenched in cold sweat as he addressed his friends.
“You didn’t imagine itâthat was killing intent. Exceptâ”
“It was mine!”
BAM!
A size-46 foot suddenly slammed into Lu Ming’s face before he could react.
He was sent flying several meters, knocked out cold.
“Anyone else who insults Brother Yun will end up like this. Understood?”
Xu Jiupan released his Qi Refining ninth layer aura, raising his meaty fist as he scanned the crowd.
The surrounding students shuddered, quickly scattering while pretending to be busy.
As for Lu Ming, he lay peacefully on the ground in a spread-eagle position, sleeping soundly…
Outside.
“Mochen, be honest with meâdid yesterday’s incident affect you?”
“Hmm? Your cultivation has improved thoughâgood!”
Yun Mochen shook his head with a bitter smile:
“Teacher Luo, really, it didn’t!”
Luo Wuqing raised a slender hand and lightly flicked his forehead:
“Then why didn’t you seriously choose a weapon instead of spouting such nonsense!”
“Weapons are important, but we must never become slaves to them, controlled by their limitations!”
“If you try to master every weapon, when will you have time to advance your cultivation?”
Unable to reveal the System’s existence, Yun Mochen hung his head in feigned shame:
“Teacher Luo, I’m sorry.”
“I plan to become a sword cultivatorâI was just being vain earlier…”
Without another word, Luo Wuqing took out a sword from her spatial ring and pressed it into Yun Mochen’s hands.
