Chen Ping's Sword

Chapter 385: Chapter 184: Xianggu Fragrant Grass, Great Desert Golden Eagle

"Are you really going?"

Chen Ping’s eyes showed a hint of hesitation as he looked at Han Xiaoru. He wanted to stop her, but his heart stirred, and he swallowed the words back.

He saw the light in Han Xiaoru’s eyes, as pure and bright as that of a newborn, and the fearless ambitions of this grand lady.

Like a young calf unafraid of a tiger, daring to shoulder the heavens.

Such spirit, even though he had lived through two lifetimes, he had only seen in this woman or girl.

Chen Ping’s spiritual power improved daily, and his enlightenment reached an "Eternal Unparalleled" level, which allowed him to vaguely understand the changing events of the world and the impermanence of life.

He knew that some destiny is actually tribulation, that it’s better to face it than to avoid it, for within life and death lies great horror and great opportunity.

If this time, with his relationship with Miss Han and his esteemed status in her heart, he were to forcefully order her not to follow, she probably wouldn’t resist.

However, Chen Ping had a feeling deep inside.

If he really did so, he might stifle the growth of a potential grandmaster with vast prospects.

"Alright, if it’s a blessing or a curse, we won’t escape it. I await your rebirth and phoenix-like rising from the ashes."

Chen Ping stopped hesitating and readily agreed.

Han Xiaoru grinned happily, her smile sweet and innocent, touching her head as she looked at Han Wushang, "Daddy, even though your current strength is a level above mine, we’ll still have to compete in the final results."

Han Wushang rubbed his bald head, looking utterly helpless.

How did he produce such a daughter?

He was powerless against her.

At home, only Sima Rou could manage this big girl, while he was constantly vexed by her, compromising countless times, until he had no dignity left.

"Alright then, remember you’re only at the Mid-Stage Golden Body Realm. When the time comes, stay back, and don’t foolishly rush forward when you encounter danger. It’s not like the battlefield, with so many soldiers infusing their military Qi; when it truly starts, you won’t be at a disadvantage..."

Poor are the caring parents worldwide. The old father nagged on with a heap of advice until Han Xiaoru showed some impatience, then he reluctantly closed his mouth.

Yes, Han Xiaoru’s current strength is Mid-Stage Innate; although her Primordial Golden Body hasn’t reached Great Success yet, she broke through another small level compared to days ago when she had a breakthrough in the battle.

Such a speed of improvement, even Chen Ping couldn’t help but take a few more glances.

He even began to suspect if Miss Han’s Innate Talent had reached a level of 14 or 15.

This speed of improvement, even without considering the Tribulation Points, was enough to put him to shame.

Innate Talent, at a low level, doesn’t show much difference.

At most, it’s just making one bigger and stronger, earning them praises for being born with divine power. Of course, in terms of cultivation speed, they would be faster than others.

However, starting from scratch means the foundation is too weak, so this advantage isn’t too apparent.

Chen Ping had subtly inquired and learned that over these eight years of cultivation, Miss Han had quickly accumulated at each breakthrough and didn’t require too many nutritional supplements, reaching the peak naturally.

However, she had a flaw; she would get stuck at each small stage.

Sometimes, she would be stuck for a year or two.

Children of other families, when blocked at a realm, would find ways, like reading and writing, learning music and painting, or constantly challenging themselves, pondering all day.

But she was different; she played and didn’t care.

Anyway, Han Wushang and Sima Rou didn’t have high expectations of her, without the desire for her to become outstanding, letting her enjoy her play, and whatever level she achieved was fine.

This education model was probably influenced by traditional thinking.

Even with Han Wushang and Sima Rou being relatively open-minded, they couldn’t help but feel that a daughter ultimately had to marry, and being too strong and dominant might hinder her chances.

So, due to these influencing factors, Han Xiaoru’s cultivation rivaled the likes of Senior Brother Zhang Gu and Third Brother Gu Chen, one carrying the mantle of lineage and the other a cunningly gifted disciple, rigorously training day and night, only for Han Xiaoru to catch up just by sleeping and playing every day.

So, to say she lacks talent or Innate Talent, Chen Ping would be the first to disagree.

Chen Ping knew another thing.

Because Han Xiaoru was the biological daughter of the Hall Master couple, they avoided special treatment for the sake of the disciples’ minds. From start to finish, Miss Han never received adequate Blood Medicine supplementation.

Only after Chen Ping resolved the "Star Essence Infusion" downside with the Dao Seed of the Three Yang Heart-Burning Technique did Han Xiaoru’s talent shine brightly.

First, she broke through to Silver Body Perfection.

Within days, she again broke through to Innate in a moment of insight.

This momentum was irresistible, with her improving crazily every day.

Yet, she was unaware of it, thinking everything was perfectly normal.

"Perhaps this is the legendary childlike heart, to put it bluntly, a bit foolish."

Seeing Han Xiaoru grinning with narrowed eyes, Chen Ping almost burst into laughter himself.
