Chapter 4 The Third Elder's Inquiry

"Junior brother, are you alright?"

Jiang Ying was the first to react, and she quickly came to Chen Zhou's side.

She gently shook Chen Zhou's back, snapping him out of his surprise: "Junior Brother?"

"I'm fine."

Chen Zhou nodded slightly, but his right hand was still trembling.

Clearly, he hadn't fully recovered from the damage inflicted by his first use of the sword-drawing slash.

Even so, the desired effect has been achieved.

because……

"Run! Run!"

"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and pull your senior brother away!"

"Junior Sister Jiang Ying, it's all our fault. We will definitely apologize another day!"

After a few seconds of silence, Han Feng's gang realized that Chen Zhou was not someone to be trifled with.

They quickly surrounded Han Feng, dragging him towards the grove of trees without daring to linger.

Especially when you think of Chen Zhou's terrifying gaze...

This group of people were even more terrified!

Throughout the entire ordeal, Han Feng remained in shock, feeling the pain emanating from his upper body, making him feel like he was living a life worse than death.

I'm afraid that after I go back, there won't be more than a few months...

He will never be able to return to his prime.

This also means that Han Feng will miss the upcoming sect competition, and the Second Elder will lose an important pawn.

At this moment, Jiang Ying no longer cared about Han Feng's life or death...

Her mind was completely focused on Chen Zhou.

"Junior brother, are you feeling better?"

"It's alright, senior sister."

Chen Zhou shook his head, a harmless smile still playing on his lips.

After confirming that he was not injured, Jiang Ying breathed a sigh of relief, then angrily punched him with her small fist.

"I knew you were faking it. You wasted my feelings."

"Cough cough."

Chen Zhou smiled awkwardly, little did he know that this was just the beginning.

Jiang Ying seemed to have suddenly opened a floodgate of questions, asking incessantly: "By the way, what kind of technique did you just use? I've never seen it before!"

"You didn't steal this from somewhere, did you? Be careful, or your master will beat you up!"

"And... I had no idea you were so amazing! Turns out you've been lying to me all along!"

Hearing this, Chen Zhou scratched his head.

He couldn't very well tell Jiang Ying that his cheat system had finally arrived, could he?

Even Chen Zhou himself didn't expect that the strongest salted fish system would have special rewards in addition to increasing health points.

Is it not just a cultivation technique, but something else?

"Junior Sister, I'm not lying to you. I developed that cultivation technique myself."

"What?"

Jiang Ying was stunned when she heard those words.

She looked Chen Zhou up and down with a hint of disbelief, then finally shook her head.

It should be noted that although there are cultivation techniques everywhere in the Sword Cloud Sect, low-level techniques are so common that they are practically everywhere.

However, practicing cultivation techniques and creating your own techniques are not the same thing!

To create one's own cultivation method, a cultivator must first possess strong aptitude, and most importantly, have innate wisdom.

Otherwise, one's entire life will be spent chasing after those who came before...

There will never be any new insights.

Therefore, even low-level cultivation techniques are not something that ordinary people can create.

Now that Chen Zhou is claiming that the Draw Sword Slash was created by himself, doesn't that mean...?

No, that's impossible.

Jiang Ying found it increasingly terrifying, so she shook her head.

She simply couldn't believe that this lazy junior brother in her memory could actually create a martial arts technique on his own.

Seeing her stubborn expression, Chen Zhou just smiled and didn't bother to explain.

Because the sword-drawing slash itself is a system reward...

If you really ask him to explain the reason, he really can't give any explanation of the underlying principles.

"Never mind, let's go back as soon as possible."

"Master is probably getting impatient."

"Mm." Chen Zhou smiled and took Jiang Ying's hand.

I thought Jiang Ying would refuse, but to my surprise, she only paused for a moment before walking ahead.

Upon closer inspection, a blush appeared on Jiang Ying's face.

My mind was filled with the image of Chen Zhou stepping forward...

Unbeknownst to the two, a pair of eyes had been watching them from a corner all along.

They took in Chen Zhou's entire performance, and then...

He nodded slightly and stroked his beard.

"good."

Soon, Chen Zhou and Jiang Ying returned to the sect before the heavy rain.

Because the Third Elder was a man who did not contend with the world, he did not have much say in the Sword Cloud Sect, and his residence was relatively remote.

"Huff, huff..."

"We've finally arrived. Thankfully, we didn't get caught in the rain."

Since Jiang Ying and Chen Zhou are both still in the Qi Refining stage, their physical fitness is only slightly better than that of ordinary people, and they cannot yet fly on swords.

So the two of them were panting heavily the whole way.

In the misty rain, Chen Zhou turned his head slightly and happened to see Jiang Ying wiping away the raindrops.

Water droplets fell onto her thin clothes, and her delicate curves could be vaguely seen.

Although Jiang Ying is still young, her graceful figure is already evident, far surpassing that of ordinary people.

Sure enough, Jiang Ying also noticed something.

Upon noticing Chen Zhou's gaze, her face flushed instantly, and she quickly stood up.

"I'm not talking to you anymore, I need to go boil water."

"By the way, about today..."

Jiang Ying hesitated for a moment, then turned around.

A voice as faint as a mosquito's buzz also reached Chen Zhou's ears.
