"I don't know why, but this feels kind of familiar to me. It seems... it doesn't seem too difficult. Let me take a look..."
Xie Zhou glanced at the technique and felt that all the moves in his mind were connected. In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, he was able to demonstrate the basic moves to Luo Fantian.
"Ding! You've damaged Luo Fantian's confidence. Bonus points!"
While I was looking at the cultivation technique, the system said this countless times.
"I don't know why, but looking at these techniques, I feel like they're very familiar. It's like, it's like I've seen you use them before, Senior Brother?"
Xie Zhou initially thought she was exceptionally talented and could learn these techniques at a glance, but gradually, after reading a few techniques, he realized that something was wrong and that it wasn't like that at all.
"That's right. Of all these techniques, the one that took me the shortest time to master was the 'Arsonist Technique,' but it still took me a whole week to learn. I'm not exaggerating, but it seems your talent is truly extraordinary."
Luo Fantian's dejected look made Xie Zhou feel a little embarrassed. She couldn't very well say that this was her magic touch and that he shouldn't be sad.
"So, when I come across a martial arts technique that someone I've touched has learned, I can learn it at an incredibly fast speed..."
Xie Zhou suddenly discovered a new continent.
"Senior brother, since that's the case, you can't slack off in the future, otherwise, I might overtake you."
Xie Zhou was overjoyed.
If she just supervises Luo Fantian's cultivation, wouldn't she be able to get all the cultivation techniques that Luo Fantian has learned for free?
This is just too wonderful!
Xie Zhou couldn't help but feel happy.
"You're right."
Luo Fantian was under immense pressure, but this pressure became the driving force for his continued progress.
"Let's see if there are any other techniques."
For Xie Zhou, among the cultivation techniques Luo Fantian practiced, there were some that he found acceptable, but they weren't specifically tailored to him.
Now that Xie Zhou has a method for cultivating spiritual power, what he desires most is a method for refining the body.
Xie Zhou and Luo Fantian were studying cultivation techniques inside the Cultivation Techniques Pavilion when, at that moment, the Grand Elder received a notification and arrived outside the pavilion.
"Elder...Elder, you must do me justice! Xie Zhou...Xie Zhou beat me up like this, she doesn't even care about you!"
As soon as the Grand Elder arrived, the guards of the cultivation technique pavilion hurriedly began to complain.
"Hmph, how can you be so useless? I entrusted you with such an important matter, and you actually got beaten up like this by Xie Zhou."
The Grand Elder's face clearly showed his displeasure. He couldn't go directly to the Martial Arts Pavilion to vent his anger on Xie Zhou, so he could only take out some of his anger on the guards first.
"This...this really isn't because I don't want to teach her a lesson. Xie Zhou, for some reason, has made rapid progress in strength, and is now at the same level as me. I...I really am no match for her!"
The guard was also aggrieved.
"What? A month is this terrifying?"
The elder narrowed his eyes.
"Absolutely true! Everyone present can testify to this; I wouldn't dare lie to you."
The guard quickly explained.
"I told you long ago that she was a demoness and shouldn't be taken in, but her strength has improved so rapidly. This is something no ordinary person could do. There must be something fishy going on!"
The elder squinted and whispered a few words to the guard.
Is it really necessary to do this?
The guard stared wide-eyed and gasped as if he had heard something terrifying.
"Otherwise, this vixen will surely wreak havoc on the Sword Sect again! I absolutely cannot let this happen again!"
The elder flicked his sleeve, his expression extremely serious.
"Everyone here, please disperse. The Cultivation Techniques Pavilion will be closed for three days. Please come back after three days."
At the elder's command, many students' faces were filled with reluctance.
"Why close the cultivation technique pavilion? Isn't this a waste of our cultivation time?"
"That's right, so much time wasted on practicing cultivation techniques today! I could have mastered that technique today... Sigh..."
...
"Luo Fantian, since you insist on being with that demoness, then you have no choice!"
The elder narrowed his eyes, shook his head, and left.
The guard of the cultivation technique pavilion gritted his teeth and opened some kind of mechanism.
"Xie Zhou, this is the place you deserve, hahahaha..."
The guards at the Gongfa Pavilion were laughing so hard they were almost manic.
At this very moment, inside the Cultivation Techniques Pavilion.
Xie Zhou and Luo Fantian felt the cultivation technique pavilion shake for a moment, and suddenly, the passage leading to the outer disciples' cultivation technique pavilion closed directly.
Xie Zhou and Luo Fantian looked at each other in bewilderment.
What does this mean?
Xie Zhou stared at Luo Fantian with a completely bewildered expression.
"Someone has closed the exit from the outside, and this exit can only be opened from the outside..."
Luo Fantian glanced around, his expression grave.
"Close the exit from the outside? Who but that idiot Grand Elder would do something like that! It's disgusting!"
Xie Zhou didn't even think about it. Even if the guard of the cultivation technique pavilion had a hundred times the courage, he wouldn't dare to lock up the Immortal Venerable's disciple in the cultivation technique pavilion. Someone must be instructing the guard of the cultivation technique pavilion to do so.
There is no doubt that the only person outside who has a grudge against Xie Zhou is the Grand Elder.
"Are they going to lock us up in this cultivation technique pavilion to death? Pshaw! I don't believe it! If they lock us up here, we'll study the cultivation techniques diligently. Once we get out, we'll study all the cultivation techniques here thoroughly! We'll teach that Grand Elder a lesson!"
Xie Zhou angrily opened a book casually.
"Wait a moment!"
Luo Fantian seemed to have suddenly thought of something and quickly spoke up to stop Xie Zhou.
But it was too late.
A flash of white light appeared before their eyes, and Xie Zhou and Luo Fantian suddenly lost their footing, experiencing a strong sense of weightlessness.
"oops!"
Xie Zhou crashed heavily to the ground.
Suddenly, a dark figure descended from above towards Xie Zhou.
"Wow!"
Xie Zhou quickly dodged to the side.
"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!" The person who fell from the sky was Luo Fantian.
Xie Zhou took a closer look at the surrounding environment. The two people who were just in the Cultivation Technique Pavilion were now standing on the outskirts of a forest.
Even with his mental power, Xie Zhou couldn't detect the slightest movement in the dark jungle.
"What exactly is going on?"
Xie Zhou frowned; she knew this was no simple teleportation.
"It's a test! We must have been randomly teleported to the location of a test conducted by the Sword Sect."
Luo Fantian gasped, his smile vanishing instantly, replaced by endless bitterness and helplessness.
"Generally speaking, once we get to places like this, people with our cultivation level are basically considered doomed..."
Luo Fantian was somewhat frustrated.
"This should be the Death Forest, the first of the three great test sites of the Sword Sect."
