Chapter 111: Chapter 90: Competition between Two Women
“Xiaoyu, what exactly is going on?”
As the other party finished speaking, Mo Yanxue’s face had already turned red with frustration.
Changing the cultivation method could at most prevent one from practicing, or stop the flow of zhenqi, but seeing it induce vomiting was a first…
After taking a few rapid breaths and feeling somewhat better in her stomach, Yu Xiaoyu looked again: “The cultivation method recorded in your notes… it’s sloppy, chaotic, overly complicated, and disorganized. Did School Head Lu really guide this personally?”
“Absolutely, I even practiced it!”
Mo Yanxue nodded, then suddenly paused: “Wait, sloppy, chaotic, overly complicated, and disorganized, what do you mean by that?”
“Compared to the cultivation method Zhang laoshi taught, it’s true…” Yu Xiaoyu nodded.
Having never tasted delicacies, pickled vegetables and cornbread could fill one’s stomach, but once having tasted the former, going back to the latter would indeed be hard to stomach.
Despite being the same Accumulative Realm cultivation method, how could there be such a huge disparity?
“What? You’re comparing Zhang Xuan’s taught methods with those taught by School Head Lu? Are you joking? That guy’s just my coachman, how could he compare with my teacher?”
Only then did she understand what the other meant, and Mo Yanxue’s face turned very unsightly.
“I didn’t want to compare, but the fact remains…” Yu Xiaoyu said, her face turning red with embarrassment.
Although the notes Hong Yi gave only documented two or three-tenths of what Zhang laoshi taught, they were much better than those recorded in her best friend’s notes, not even from the same world.
Having just started practicing, she wasn’t as professional in discerning the quality of cultivation methods as others, but she could still tell the good from the bad.
“Okay, since you say that the cultivation method taught by Zhang Xuan is good, then let me ask you, how much has your strength increased after one night of practice?”
Mo Yanxue snorted.
“This… without the Strength Measuring Formation, I’m not too sure!”
Yu Xiaoyu shook her head.
“Not sure, then it must not be a noticeable improvement…” Mo Yanxue speculated.
“If the progress isn’t noticeable and doesn’t meet the requirements Zhang laoshi set yesterday, that would be bad…”
Hearing her best friend say this, Yu Xiaoyu started to panic.
Yesterday, Zhang laoshi gave her a silk pouch, marked with requirements. If she didn’t meet them today, would she be unable to stay under his tutelage?
Thinking this, she hurriedly took out the silk pouch, gently opened it, and the text emerged before her—Increase strength to 1.2 to become my student!
“1.2 horsepower? Is this Zhang Xuan dreaming?”
Mo Yanxue leaned over for a look and couldn’t help but snort coldly: “Even if your strength is about the same as mine, around 0.45, reaching 0.5 overnight would be miraculous. In the history of Baiyan City for a hundred years, counting as the first, reaching 1.2… equivalent to a 167% increase in strength, haha, do you think that’s possible?”
“This…”
Interrupting her friend’s words, Yu Xiaoyu said with a slightly embarrassed expression: “0.5 horsepower, I achieved that right after the session yesterday! And the key is… I haven’t even taken the class yet!”
Mo Yanxue: “???”
I struggled all night, almost going bald from exhaustion, just to inch from 0.45 to nearly 0.49, and you say without attending the class, you’ve achieved 0.5 horsepower… and you haven’t even taken the class!
“This can’t be possible! Absolutely impossible!” The young Miss of the Mo Family stubbornly shook her head.
“I tested it yesterday…” Yu Xiaoyu hurriedly explained.
“It could also be that the Strength Measuring Formation was broken. Let’s do this, you and I throw a punch, let me feel your strength, then we’ll really know if it’s true!”
Mo Yanxue said.
“Alright.” After thinking for a moment and feeling that her best friend’s suggestion made sense, Yu Xiaoyu nodded.
Both stood ready, Mo Yanxue took a deep breath, let the freshly purified Origin qi flow through her meridians, clenched her fist, and struck directly at her friend in front of her.
It wasn’t that she didn’t trust the person in front of her, she just felt that Yu Xiaoyu was too naive, possibly deceived by someone, and that a lesson was needed to make her realize that strength comes from gradual progress and diligent effort, not overnight.
“Be careful…”
Seeing her exerting strength, Yu Xiaoyu also did not dare neglect, raising her hand to meet it.
When the fists collided, the air shrieked, and the confident Mo Yanxue hadn’t even reacted before being sent flying backwards, crashing into a window and falling into the yard several meters away.
“Pfft!”
A mouthful of fresh blood spilled out!
Xue’er, are you okay?”
Not expecting such a casual punch to have such force, Yu Xiaoyu hurriedly approached.
“You, how can your strength be so strong?”
Mo Yanxue was looking up, her eyes filled with disbelief.
The punch just now confirmed that the girl, who had always been weaker than her, had effortlessly surpassed her!
“I don’t know, just yesterday from afternoon until night, and because I was so tired, I fell asleep before midnight…” Yu Xiaoyu explained.
“Less practice time than I, yet stronger… Could it be that the content Zhang Xuan teaches is indeed superior to School Head Lu’s meticulous instruction?”
Mo Yanxue couldn’t believe it but faced with the reality, there was no choice but to accept it. After a while, she reluctantly comforted herself: “Even if it’s true, your strength isn’t much stronger than mine, I just need to put in a bit more effort, I should still be able to catch up…”
Though she had been knocked flying by that punch, based on the force that hit her, it was around 0.6 or 0.7 at most, no more!
She might not reach it now, but as long as she asked for sufficient resources from her family and put in some effort herself, catching up soon was still hopeful.
“This…”
Hearing her murmurs, Yu Xiaoyu looked back again with a shy face: “If I say… I only used half of my force just now, do you… believe it?”
“???”
Mo Yanxue stood there, stunned.
…
While Yu Xiaoyu and Mo Yanxue exchanged punches, on the other side, Liu Mingyue, who had been practicing the “Fuyao Energy Accumulation Technique” for a day, also slowly opened her eyes.
