Lu Ziqi was indeed secretly observing Lu Chen, and she suddenly realized that her disciple's strength had improved rapidly.

Although Lu Chen kept his aura hidden and did not reveal any of it, Lu Ziqi could still see his strength.

"Could he really be a cultivation genius, having completely comprehended the first level in just three days?"

At this moment, Lu Ziqi observed that Lu Chen was cultivating the second level. Although he seemed to be fishing casually, he was actually cultivating seriously.

After watching for a while, Lu Ziqi got tired of observing anymore.

Lu Chen was indeed cultivating the second level of the Xuanwu True Technique. He could vaguely sense that someone was spying on him in the dark, but the feeling was not very obvious.

It took Lu Chen a whole day to complete the cultivation of the second level.

Even Lu Chen himself was startled by this speed of cultivation.

"As expected, the Starry Sky Body Refining Technique is a higher level than the Xuanwu True Technique. After practicing the Starry Sky Body Refining Technique, practicing this lower-level technique is a piece of cake."

Three more days passed, and Lu Chen arrived at Lu Ziqi's palace once again.

"Why are you here again?"

Lu Ziqi frowned slightly and glanced at Lu Chen, only to be surprised to find that Lu Chen had actually cultivated the second level of the Xuanwu True Skill to the Great Perfection.

The Xuanwu Academy has so many geniuses, but this is the first time Lu Ziqi has ever seen one who is so abnormal.

Even though he himself was once hailed by the Xuanwu Academy as the rarest genius in thousands of years, he was still no match for Lu Chen.

It took me a whole year to successfully cultivate the third level of the Xuanwu Academy.

But at Lu Chen's current speed, it probably won't even take a month.

This abnormal speed of cultivation is truly unbelievable.

"Master, I missed you, so I came to see you."

Lu Chen smiled brightly, staring at Lu Ziqi with a dazed look, but what he said was so awkward it made one's scalp tingle.

Lu Ziqi suppressed the urge to beat him up and shouted angrily, "Shut up."

Then, Lu Ziqi threw out a jade slip, waved her hand impatiently, and said, "Get lost, get lost."

System notification: "Your confession to Lu Ziqi failed. You have received the reward [Starry Sky Refining Technique]."

Upon hearing this prompt, Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, then a surge of joy welled up within him.

He had never been particularly interested in the art of weapon crafting, nor had he bothered to learn it. He had never encountered a similar skill before, but now, he had finally acquired it.

Of course, having finally met Lu Ziqi, it's impossible to just leave after one visit.

"Why is Master so heartless? This disciple is sincere and there is absolutely no falsehood in my heart. The reason why I have cultivated so quickly is so that I can see you, Master, sooner."

Since he was just a tool, Lu Chen didn't care about the other party's attitude at all; he just wanted to keep using it.

Upon hearing this, Lu Ziqi felt her scalp tingle and goosebumps rise to her skin.

At the same time, she was also a little nervous.

It was as if they were afraid someone would overhear them.

If people were to hear that their newly accepted disciple had acted so rebelliously, they would surely think something.

"Shut up, shut up! Stop talking."

At this moment, Lu Ziqi truly felt like she had taken on a hot potato, and the worst part was that she couldn't get rid of it now.

Seeing her flustered expression, a strange smile appeared on Lu Chen's lips.

"Okay, I won't say anymore! I'll save it for next time."

Lu Chen waved his hand and quickly slipped away, no longer wanting to be slapped away by this beautiful master.

It wasn't until long after Lu Chen left that Lu Ziqi recovered, a hint of suspicion on her face.

"Strange, what is this kid trying to do? Does he really intend to commit some heinous act? Or is my charm just that great?"

Lu Ziqi's expression shifted between light and shadow. Suddenly, she realized that she was, after all, the Seventh Elder of the Xuanwu Academy, a being whose cultivation was close to the Emperor level. Would she be afraid of this kid? If he dared to make any excessive moves, she could just slap him to death.

"But speaking of which, finally there's someone who truly understands aesthetics."

Lu Ziqi started to indulge in her narcissism again. In the Xuanwu Academy, she held a high position and wielded great power. Coupled with her eccentric personality, she rarely received any affection from anyone.

She was the only female elder in the entire Xuanwu Academy, and as everyone's junior sister, she was naturally the one who received the most care.

However, it is also a major headache for everyone.

To this day, no one has revealed anything about romantic feelings between them.

The others in the Xuanwu Academy were simply not qualified. Who would dare to have any improper thoughts about him, an elder? That would be tantamount to courting death.

Therefore, almost everyone avoids Lu Ziqi when they see her, not daring to offend her in any way.

Even his six senior brothers, plus the sect leader, are people he avoids provoking if possible.

Lu Ziqi had never thought about this before, but she did have some doubts about herself.

Does it really mean that no one likes me? Now it turns out that there is someone.

"I have to say, Lu Chen has a good eye for talent."

Lu Ziqi got up and turned around. With a wave of her hand, a water curtain appeared in front of her, clearly reflecting her perfect face and stunning figure.

"However, we can't let him get away with it. Next time he brings this up, we have to ask him what his true intentions are and what he sees in me."
