On the shore of the lake, in a bamboo hut.
Situ Qing was wearing a rare silk dress, which made her look less valiant and more charming.
Every time Yao Yue got close to his beautiful master, his heart would beat faster than usual, and his blood would flow faster. If not for the Thousand Year Cold Jade on his body, he would have had a nosebleed!
Situ Qing was 18 years old, in the prime of her life. She was at the peak of her beauty, and not many people could resist her charm.
Yao Yue sighed inwardly, Following this beautiful master is torturous.
Everyone has a love for beauty!
Although Yao Yue had a Long Yue-er as his wife, he had never been in a relationship. Now that he was facing this beautiful master who was two years older than him, he had a good impression of her.
Of course, it was more of a respect for this master's ferocity.
She might be slightly older than him, but even if there were three or four of him, he still wouldn't be a match for her.
"Speak. Why are you looking for me?" Situ Qing asked straightforwardly.
Yao Yue didn't answer. Instead, he asked, "Master, why is Zi Lintian looking for you?"
"Don't speak nonsense. That's the Third Prince. You can pretend that you don't know him today, but you should stay away from him in the future. Especially since your identity is special. Try not to have any conflicts with him. Otherwise, even I won't be able to protect you," Situ Qing warned.
"Isn't everyone equal in the academy?
Why is he special? "Yao Yue asked.
"Special people deserve special treatment. In any case, just don't offend him," Situ Qing replied. She then changed the topic, "Didn't you say you were looking for me?
Are you trying to slack off? "
"Beautiful master, you're looking down on me too much. Don't you know whose disciple I am? How can I slack off?"
Yao Yue replied. He paused for a moment before continuing, "I just want to discuss something with you. I'm now on the verge of a breakthrough. Although it's good to continue training like this, it's still not enough for my breakthrough and actual combat experience. That's why I want to go to the Jueyao Ridge to train. Didn't you say that it's easier to train one's willpower in a life-and-death situation?
Therefore, please grant my wish, beautiful master! "
Situ Qing revealed an astonished look and asked, "You want to go to the Jueyao Ridge? Do you know where that is?"
"Of course I know. It's said that there are Demonic Beasts roaming around there, and every one of them is extremely ferocious. They love to eat humans!" Yao Yue replied.
"Since you know, are you ready to risk your life?" Situ Qing asked in return.
"Beautiful Master, do you want me to die that badly?
I've heard that there aren't many ferocious Demon Beasts roaming around the periphery of the Jueyao Ridge! "Yao Yue replied.
During his two months in the academy, he had learned a lot about the Jueyao Ridge. It was one of the Imperial Academy's training grounds.
"Actually, in a month's time, all the disciples will be sent to the Jueyao Ridge to train. Only by letting everyone see blood will they be able to move forward bravely and forget about life and death!
With your current strength, you should be able to protect yourself in the periphery of the Jueyao Ridge, but it's still not enough! "Situ Qing changed the topic.
She was just testing Yao Yue's determination earlier.
"Still not enough?" Yao Yue was puzzled.
He knew that he was stronger than most of the new batch of disciples. Even after a month, they might not be able to reach his level of strength. They could enter the Jueyao Ridge, so how could he not be qualified?
"If it were any other disciple, your strength would be enough. However, you are my disciple, so the requirements are naturally higher. Therefore, you are still not qualified. You still lack a suitable primary martial technique and weapon," Situ Qing said seriously.
At this moment, Yao Yue patted the back of his head and said, "That's right, beautiful master. Quickly teach me a few king-level skills and a few king-level weapons. That way, I will be able to protect myself against great demons!"
Situ Qing's face turned green as he said, "Do you think that king martial techniques and royal weapons are cabbages?"
Yao Yue revealed a gloomy expression and said, "Beautiful Master, are you not embarrassed to give me some ordinary stuff?
That's too degrading for you and Great Master, isn't it? No matter what, he is still the dean! "
Situ Qing waved his hand and said, "Forget it, forget it. If you want to go to the Jueyao Ridge, then go. It's best if you die there and don't come back to bother me!"
Yao Yue hurriedly said, "Beautiful Master, don't be angry. It's just a joke. Haha!"
Situ Qing did not really bicker with Yao Yue. He said seriously, "You can go to the Jueyao Ridge in a month. There will be a Beast Hunting Competition there. The top ten new disciples who kill the most demonic beasts will be rewarded handsomely. Also, don't go to the wooden dummy stage or the gravity room to train for this month. Instead, focus on cultivating a primary martial technique. Only then will you be able to hunt demonic beasts. Also, don't be in a hurry to break through to the primary realm. The more energy you accumulate, the easier it will be for you to break through."
Situ Qing then took out a few primary martial technique manuals and placed them in front of Yao Yue. "Don't say that Master is not taking care of you. These are all general martial techniques. Pick any one of them!"
Yao Yue's gaze immediately landed on the five primary martial technique manuals. His eyes shone brightly.
Normally, if a disciple wanted to obtain a primary martial technique, they would have to reach the primary realm before they could choose another one.
However, it was different for personal disciples of elders. The elders would naturally use all sorts of resources to help their disciples grow stronger.
Although Situ Qing was not an elder, she was still the headmaster's granddaughter. Yao Yue was also a disciple under the headmaster's name. It was not strange for him to be given a primary martial technique.
"Beautiful master, you are too unkind. Why didn't you teach me earlier when you had so many martial skills? You only took them out now!" After Yao Yue complained, he acted as if he was going to put away all these Origin martial skills.
Pa!
"Ouch!"
Situ Qing slapped the back of Yao Yue's hand, causing him to grit his teeth in pain. "Beautiful Master, why did you hit me?"
"Didn't you hear me? You can only pick one," Situ Qing said with a frown.
Yao Yue said gloomily, "A woman will always be a woman. How petty!"
Situ Qing placed her hands on her hips and shouted, "What did you say? Say it again if you dare. I will skin you alive!"
Yao Yue waved his hands and laughed dryly, "No, I was just saying that you are very beautiful."
After saying that, he no longer dared to look at Situ Qing. He quickly stared at the five primary martial techniques in front of him, trying to find a suitable one for him.
The five primary martial techniques were of different types: Astral Fist, Whirlwind Kick, Fierce Tiger Saber Technique, Storm Spear Technique, and Twelve Sword Techniques.
Of the first four primary martial techniques, two were high-grade general techniques, two were mid-grade general techniques, and the last twelve sword techniques were actually incomplete king-grade techniques.
General-grade martial techniques were considered the foundation of most large clans, but they were not so rare in the Imperial Academy. It was normal for Situ Qing to be able to take them out. However, there were only a few incomplete king-grade techniques in the library. Situ Qing had given them to Yao Yue, showing how much she valued Yao Yue.
Yao Yue's eyes grew brighter and brighter. He flashed a fawning smile at Situ Qing and said, "Beautiful master, can we make a deal? I don't want all the elemental martial techniques, just four."
Situ Qing glared at Yao Yue with a dark expression. She did not say anything, but her aura was sharp.
Yao Yue quickly changed his mind, "If four is not enough, three should be fine. I am your only disciple!"
"Take it or leave it!"
Situ Qing was really impatient. She shouted and was about to put away the Origin Martial Skills in front of her.
Yao Yue seemed to have expected this and took the initiative to grab the twelve sword techniques.
These were incomplete king-grade techniques. Even a single one of them was much stronger than any other general technique.
"I will give you one night to memorize the sword techniques. After tomorrow, I will take them back.
Also, without my permission, you are not allowed to spread the sword techniques! "Situ Qing shouted sternly at Yao Yue.
After saying that, she asked Yao Yue to leave.
Yao Yue did not stay. He only had one night to memorize the sword techniques.
After all, his beautiful master was a woman of her word. He did not dare to go against her wishes.
On the way back, Yao Yue sighed, "Only the sword techniques are given to me, but not a weapon. How am I supposed to practice? I have to ask my beautiful master for a weapon tomorrow." He paused for a moment before continuing, "It would be great if there was a halberd technique. If I cultivate with the broken halberd, I will definitely be able to unleash the halberd's power. No, I have to find a way to get my beautiful master to give me a halberd technique in the future!"
Yao Yue did not know the grade of the broken halberd, but he was sure that it was no weaker than a king-grade weapon when it was complete. It might even be an imperial-grade weapon.
One had to know that it could break any general weapon in its current state. It could be considered an incomplete king-grade weapon.
If he could obtain a halberd technique to complement his broken halberd, his destructive power would definitely be extraordinary!
Just as Yao Yue was halfway back, someone suddenly blocked his path, giving him a fright.
"Kid, follow me. My prince wants to see you!" the person shouted coldly at Yao Yue.
Yao Yue patted his chest and shouted, "Don't you know that you can scare me to death?!"
However, Yao Yue regretted his words as soon as he finished speaking. He realized that the person blocking his path was not someone he could afford to offend. No, it should be said that the person's master was someone he could not afford to offend for the time being.
This person was none other than the third prince's follower, Tu Feng. He was the one who had blocked Yao Yue in front of Situ Qingzhu's residence.
"Say that again if you dare!" Tu Feng shouted at Yao Yue.
A follower who could follow the Third Prince was no ordinary person. A general's aura appeared on his body, forcing Yao Yue to take two steps back.
"He's at least a mid-grade or high-grade Origin General!"
Yao Yue immediately came to a conclusion. He met Tu Feng's gaze without any fear and said, "So what if I say it again? You should know that I am the principal's personal disciple. Are you going to kill me?"
Yao Yue had even mentioned the principal's name. Naturally, he wanted to instill fear in Tu Feng.
After all, it was rumored that he had become the principal's personal disciple.
"Hmph, come with me quickly. Don't keep His Highness waiting!" Tu Feng said fearfully.
