Chapter Fifteen I'll Take Care of You

  Xu Ziyuan saw his speed and momentum, already knowing that the opponent had used their full strength. Not wanting to reveal her own abilities, she could only be more careful in controlling her cultivation at the Later Heaven Sixth Layer realm. With a flash of footsteps, she dissipated the opponent's power and began to circle around with them.

  However, as a result, the six layers and eight layers of the posterior heaven were different in boundary, and Xu Ziyuan could not directly connect with the opponent's offensive, but only dodged and occasionally borrowed force to counterattack. As a result, Xu Ziyuan fell into a disadvantage, his spirit highly concentrated, his body like a butterfly fluttering through flowers, shuttling between the opponent's fist shadows and footwork.

  Although embarrassed, the basic knowledge learned in the great hall just now has gradually merged from inside to outside, from soul to body. When in the great hall, Xu Ziyuan was only integrating what he had learned into his consciousness, and did not actually apply it, that is, he had not yet combined body and mind.

  At this moment, under the overwhelming pressure of a post-heavenly eighth layer, he had to be extremely cautious and respond carefully. As a result, however, it accelerated the fusion of Xu Ziyans body and mind. At first, Xu Ziyans was at a loss under the opponents pressure, although he was not injured, that was because Xu Ziyans cultivation had secretly risen to the post-heavenly seventh layer while dodging, only controlling it at the post-heavenly sixth layer boundary when attacking. Moreover, at first, Xu Ziyans was so oppressed by the opponent that he didn't even have a chance to counterattack.

  But gradually, Xu Ziyuan truly merged. The initial panic was gone, only a little flustered, as time passed, Xu Ziyuan was no longer flustered. Although still at a disadvantage, the defense was extremely tight, and dodging was very light. After a while, Xu Ziyuan had already begun to counterattack.

  Logically speaking, as a senior disciple, you must have listened to classes in the grand hall many times before, and those teachers must have taught the same way. However, just because you've listened doesn't mean you've understood. Even if you did understand, it's only the secrets below the eighth layer of acquired skills that you grasped. How could you possibly fully grasp all twelve layers like Xu Ziyuan? This is due to differences in cultivation levels, standing at different heights, and having different perspectives.

  After such a fight, Xu Ziyuan eventually relied on his acquired sixth-level cultivation to fight evenly with the opponent's acquired eighth level, and even had a hidden momentum to turn the tide.

  This not only shocked the new and old disciples around, but also the teachers on the attic not far away, especially that Min Ge. His heart was even more shocked as he recalled what had happened earlier in the grand hall after he finished his lecture, all the disciples were staring blankly, except for this woman who was now fighting inside, her eyes were clear and bright. At first, he thought she hadn't listened to his lecture at all, but looking at the situation now, it turned out that she wasn't ignoring him, but had actually fully understood what he taught!

  "That... she's a genius!" Ming Ge thought to himself, suddenly his heart racing with shock: "No way, she only has a cultivation level of Post-Heaven Sixth Layer, how can she understand everything I explained today? To think that what I explained today was a comprehensive overview from Post-Heaven First Layer to Twelfth Layer. And since it's an overview, it's not detailed, yet she was able to grasp it to such an extent, is she really a genius?"

  At this time, the teachers who stood with him were also stunned, and Xu Ziyuan's behavior completely subverted their previous understanding of Xiuzhen. The girl in front of them was actually able to use weakness to counter strength, no, it seemed that she was about to win with weakness.

  "Min Ge, this girl doesn't seem like she hasn't heard your lectures before."

  "Yes, and it seems like they all understand what you're saying!"

  Not mentioning the teachers on the attic, who were watching and asking Min Ge at this time, Xu Ziyuan had already completely grasped the initiative in the field. In terms of understanding cultivation, Xu Ziyuan was far ahead of her opponent, and with her own cultivation controlled at the sixth layer of the acquired period, but her true level was actually at the second layer of the Qi Refining Period. So she naturally had to be more durable than an eighth-layer acquired period person.

  At this time, the young man had lost his initial sharpness, and the true energy in his body was almost exhausted. The punches and kicks he launched were also somewhat soft and weak. In his heart, a burst of astonishment:

  "Who is this girl in front of me? How can her cultivation at the sixth level surpass mine at the eighth level?"

  At the moment when he was at a loss, his mind suddenly relaxed. He had already fallen behind if he didn't relax, and now with this relaxation, he was even more vulnerable. Permitted Purple Smoke's palm slapped him in the face without mercy, and all he heard was:

  "Slap!!"

  A lingering echo was left in the space: "Bang ~~ Bang ~~ Bang ~~"

  That young man was stunned on the spot, his face turned bright red. Half of it was because he was slapped by Xu Ziyuan, and the other half was because he was slapped by a girl in front of so many people, which was embarrassing. However, he also knew that he was no match for Xu Ziyuan, but even if he wasn't a match, being slapped like that in public should have elicited some reaction from him, otherwise how could he show his face outside in the future?

  Then, the young man was inspired by desperation and immediately sat up. With a "thud", he fell to the ground and pretended to faint.

  Xu Ziyuan naturally saw that the other party was pretending to be dizzy, because Xu Ziyuan had been staring at the other party, and before fainting, the other party closed their eyes tightly, with a righteous and majestic appearance, which was obviously just pretending to be dizzy. Xu Ziyuan felt a sense of joy in her heart, but didn't expose the other party. It would have been possible if she had gone further to humiliate the other party, but Xu Ziyuan couldn't do that for now.

  He looked up at those old disciples, their faces were all stiff. Today they came to bully the new disciples, came to have fun, came to reap a harvest. Unexpectedly, however, two of them were knocked unconscious by a sixth-level female disciple with consecutive slaps on the ears, and he couldn't help but feel some fear towards Xu Ziyuan in his heart.

  To say that these people are not the true masters of the outer hall, the true masters are the figures behind the four groups outside the main hall, which is the boss behind the four groups.

  There are over a thousand disciples in the outer sect, among whom four masters have emerged: Xu Gan, Xu Wen, Xu Tianxiao and Xu Dongxue.

  These four people are currently at the level of post-heavenly twelve layers, and can be said to be the key objects of family cultivation. The four people's cultivation is the same, and no one can beat each other, so they divided the outer hall disciples and established four gangs. Xu Gan's gang name is as its name suggests, called the Brave Gang. Xu Wen also lives up to his name, naturally looking down on Xu Gan's vulgarity, and took a gang name called Brocade Gang. Xu Tian Xiao took the name Lingtian Gang, and Xu Dongxue was the only woman among the four people, taking the name Plum Blossom Gang.

  Today, these four did not come. They thought that receiving a group of new disciples didn't require them to show up in person. So they just sent their subordinates, but they didn't expect someone like Xu Ziyuan to appear among the new disciples this time.

  At this time, Xu Ziyuan's gaze quietly swept across the old disciples opposite him, and those old disciples were startled. However, those new disciples, especially those who had just been insulted, looked at Xu Ziyuan with excitement and admiration in their eyes.

  Xu Ziyuan moved, still walking slowly towards the direction of Lao Dizi. Behind her followed those dozens of new disciples.

  Xu Ziyanyan's eyes flashed, and she saw that among the old disciples in front of her, there were eight people who had reached the ninth level after crossing the heavenly tribulation. They were staring at each other. As for those old disciples who were below the eighth level, they had completely lost their minds, and their expressions seemed to be somewhat dazed.

  A figure emerged from the crowd and walked out slowly. He nodded towards Xu Ziyuan and said with a proud expression:

  "I'm Xu Xiangqian of the Brave Squad, follow me from now on and I won't treat you unfairly."

  Looking at Xu Ziyuan's face without any change, still step by step towards himself, with an expression that seemed to ignore his existence, Xu Xiang couldn't help but get furious and said coldly:

  "Little girl, do you know that you only have a cultivation base of the sixth layer of the acquired stage, while I am at the ninth layer of the acquired stage? Do you think that just because you luckily won against someone with an eighth-layer acquired stage cultivation base, you can defeat me?"

  He paused for a moment, and with an air of superiority on his face, he said: "If you don't want to be crippled, then just submit to me. As long as you serve me wholeheartedly from now on, I'll take care of you."
