Mu Hanyan nearly stumbled and fell to the ground. It seemed that being infamous for eternity was worse than being mediocre. Mu Hanyan glared at Mu Cheng, who gave her a flattering smile and moved closer.
"I'm just kidding." Mu Cheng scratched his head and smiled flatteringly.
"Then you have a very low sense of humor." Mu Hanyan said unhappily.
Mu Cheng laughed and followed Mu Hanyan to the inn in a flattering manner.
When they returned to the inn, it was already late, so they went back to their rooms to rest.
As usual, Mu Hanyan washed up and then sat cross-legged to practice.
Along the way, relying on the Tianxin technique that was promoted again, she refined a part of the Tianxing power left by Mu Tianlie in her heart meridian. Her strength actually easily surpassed the bottleneck of the early stage of the tenth-level great swordsman and reached the middle stage.
Everything happened too quickly and easily, and Mu Hanyan didn't even feel too surprised.
After reaching the middle stage of the Great Swordsman, Mu Hanyan clearly felt that if she wanted to continue to improve her strength, she would need even greater energy. It seemed that she had been a little too optimistic before. If she relied entirely on herself, it would be difficult to reach the realm of Sword Master before the age of sixteen.
But with Mu Tianlie's power of the stars, she was not worried at all.
In the star veins, the nebula formed by the power of the heavenly stars has shrunk a lot, but its density is also ten or a hundred times greater than before. If Mu Hanyan's strength had not increased, even if the Tianxin technique had been upgraded, it would have been impossible to absorb and refine it.
Based on this calculation, the power of the stars in the center of the nebula is probably a hundred times stronger than it is now, enough to help her advance to the realm of swordsman.
Mu Hanyan took a deep breath, practiced her skills, and refined the power of the stars again.
Her entire body shook violently, her chest feeling like it had been struck by a massive hammer once again, and even a faint taste of blood lingered in her mouth. Her strength was growing, but so was the power of the Heavenly Star. Each refining process was a severe test for her, each one more treacherous than the last.
Mu Hanyan focused her mind, put aside all distracting thoughts, endured the violent shock coming from her internal organs, and the piercing pain that almost broke her meridians, and refined the increasingly violent power of the Heavenly Star.
Time passed by unknowingly, and when Mu Hanyan opened her eyes again it was already midnight. After putting away her skills, she realized that her whole body was soaked in sweat, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth.
"If I continue like this, I'll probably end up like the old charlatan Qu, chewing on a pig's leg every day." Mu Hanyan wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth tiredly and thought with a wry smile.
Although it was a bit difficult, the progress of this training was really good. Mu Hanyan clearly felt that her strength had improved significantly, and she was one step closer to the late stage of the tenth-level great swordsman.
After washing up and changing into clean clothes, Mu Hanyan felt much more refreshed. As soon as she lay down on the bed, a strong sense of fatigue came over her like a tide.
Just as he was about to take a nap, Xing Huan Qian Ji's voice suddenly rang in his mind: "Don't sleep yet, someone is coming."
Mu Hanyan hadn't heard his voice for more than twenty days since she fell asleep last time, and she was slightly startled.
Mu Hanyan concentrated her attention and listened carefully, but she didn't hear any unusual movement.
"Huh, strange, why does it feel so familiar?" Xinghuan Qianji's voice sounded again.
"What's familiar?" Mu Hanyan asked in confusion.
"Why does it seem so familiar? Why can't I remember it?" Xinghuan Qianji's voice seemed distressed, like a person who was thinking hard about something but couldn't find the answer.
