Chapter 19: Lin Xueling Breaking Through
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Regardless of what the outsiders speculated about the Ultimate Demi-King.
Chu He was at the book depository and did not take any action.
That day, he had only made a move purely because his nose was feeling twitchy from the demonic Qi and he took action to make him feel better.
To him, those punches that the outsiders deemed as being nightmarish were just casually tossed out, and he even had tried his best to suppress his ability. 2
After the incident, he continued cultivating quietly, reading books, which was all very comfortable to him.
The spring season was over and currently, it was autumn. Without even realizing it, another ten years had already passed by.
Chu He was now 38-years-old. He had been in the book depository for a whole 24 years, or perhaps longer than that. 1
At that moment, he had already cultivated to the point of Ninth Level of the Third Turn and was heading toward the Fourth Turn. 4
He was not in a hurry to breakthrough.
Instead, he was gradually accumulating knowledge.
For the past ten years, a lot of changes had taken place in the Lin family. 1
The crisis was over, and it was replaced with an energetic vibe, which was way better than it had been previously.
After coming face to face with a crisis that threatened to annihilate them, everyone started to cultivate seriously.
Five years ago, the Lin family elder, Lin Zhennan, had reached the limit of his life expectancy and he passed away. The Lin family did not hide the truth. Instead, they organized a grand burial ceremony.
Numerous powers throughout the land came forth after being invited and offered their respect.
As for Lin Xueling, after that great war to defend the Lin family, her cultivation was exposed, making the entire Lin family both astonished and delighted.
However, as the little brat kept Chu He’s orders in her mind, she was not allowed to blurt out his identity as her mentor. Hence, the entire Lin family was unsure about the truth behind how her ability suddenly became so powerful. They tentatively believed her claim that it was because she had bumped into a powerhouse, and that person transferred his powers into her.
After all, it was a known fact that there was an overwhelming being hidden amongst the Lin family!
For these few years, a lot of people from the Lin family were focusing their attention on her.
Wherever she went would be the topic of discussion. Whatever she did would always invite praises from all parties.
Many organizations had also come to know about her. Numerous parties had come flooding the entrance of the Lin mansion to request a diplomatic marriage.
Yet, all of them were rejected!
None of them caught the eyes of Lin Xueling, and the Lin family was not willing to accept them as well.
Not knowing when it had started, a rumor started spreading around town-that Lin Xueling had a crush who was a handyman in the book depository.
That incident had caused havoc before finally settling down.
Lin Xueling showed up personally and ruthlessly taught a lesson to those who were obviously going to seek trouble for Chu He.
As for the people who had schemed to make a move within the shadows, they were dead long ago.
At that period of time, Chu He could not read his books in peace, which made him very frustrated.
He was just a handyman in the book depository, seeking tranquility.
Fortunately, as time passed by, the intensity of this incident reduced before things finally quieted down.
...
On that night, Lin Xueling went to look for Chu He.
“Lil Chu, I think I’ve accumulated more than enough, and I can no longer hold it. I think I can breakthrough!” 5
“Then go ahead and breakthrough! I got your back,” Chu He said as he nodded.
Currently, the essential qi within Lin Xueling’s body was extremely active and was at the brink of bursting through her body just to escape.
These few years, she was also learning oil painting with Chu He, and she really could no longer control it! 3
From being a Precelestial master to becoming a genuine king was one hell of a journey full of hardship. Pursuing martial arts was truly dangerous. 2
There were lots of people who ended up failing along this journey. Many of those who had succeeded eventually took the wrong path. A person who should have been able to become a genuine king ended up becoming a demi-king instead.
They took the wrong path, yet they did not realize it. When they wanted to return to the right path, it was many times harder for them to do so.
Given any ordinary situation, if one were to break through, they would have to get lots of things prepared. Besides, they would need to have their family dispatch some powerhouses to protect them, in case any accident were to happen.
However, Lin Xueling had complete faith in Chu He. Apart from him, she did not tell anyone else regarding this issue.
Chu He brought Lin Xueling to a bedroom, and immediately took out three tablets and gave them to her. 1
Those were the Genuine King Breakthrough Tablets.
It could increase the probability of one breaking through and becoming a genuine king. It could also increase one’s knowledge and could protect one’s memory and physique, allowing the chance of failing to break through to be minimized.
Chu He had already obtained a few bottles of these tablets when he was a Precelestial.
However, the Golden Nine Turns that he was cultivating were an exception. It seemed that those tablets were useless to him. At that time, when he was about to break through, he had gobbled up a few tablets before proceeding, but the effects were not obvious. 1
He placed the remaining ones back in the System Space.
To him, who had attained the stage of Ninth Level of the Third Turn, those Genuine King Breakthrough Tablets were no different than any other sweets.
Currently, he was able to take them out to train the little brat.
Lin Xueling took the tablets. Without asking further, she swallowed the tablets obediently. 4
Under the protection of Chu He, she began to breakthrough.
Chu He placed both his hands behind him and focused his attention on Lin Xueling. He possessed such tremendous ability that even if he did not rely on his instinct, he was still able to fully grasp her situation of breaking through. If there was an accident, he would be able to take action immediately.
Lin Xueling’s breakthrough went on smoothly.
Following a deep whistling sound, a sharp sense of fighting spirit that exerted a strong pressure had appeared within that tiny bedroom.
The Genuine King Realm was a success!
Chu He waved his hands and blocked all vision, extinguishing it.
Or else, this tiny room could not afford to be involved in any trouble.
After a long time, Lin Xueling opened her eyes. Within her bright vision, a sharp ray came spreading out in all directions.
“So this is the realm of a demi-king? It’s totally different from being ordinary!!” Lin Xueling said softly.
She was under the assumption that she managed to break through into the realm of demi-king. Never would she suspect that she was already a full-fledged king.
She had no prior experience in this aspect.
Chu He laughed when he heard her words but did not give any explanation.
‘Just wait till this brat faces a real demi-king. I’m afraid she will be shocked when that happens.’
Initially, she would make all the necessary preparations. She would bring along a feeling of anxiety, she was perturbed and lacked confidence, as she came to battle it out with a veteran demi-king.
She would make her move with all her might.
She would swing her sword, and it even terrified the heavens.
The veteran demi-king, who initially was standing haughtily before her, would suddenly find his body fumbled. He did not even let out a shriek of pleading for his life and was immediately slaughtered.
Lin Xueling would then be left standing alone on the spot, dumbfounded. Despite cracking her head thinking about it, she could not even figure out what happened.
As he pictured how the scene would play out, Chu He could not help but smile pleasantly.
‘I guess it will be interesting.’
