130: Chapter 123 In Your Eyes 130: Chapter 123 In Your Eyes “Who exactly are you?” The next second, Yoo Junluo forcibly suppressed those turbulent emotions, her voice growing even colder.
“Your fiance!” Su Chen stared into Yoo Junluo’s eyes, articulating each word clearly.
“Do you really think I wouldn’t dare to kill you?!” Yoo Junluo’s beautiful eyes paused, and the silver-white longsword in her hand trembled slightly.
Suddenly.
Blood gushed from Su Chen’s neck, the tip of the sword had penetrated his skin and flesh, but it had not yet passed through his throat.
However, what surprised Yoo Junluo was that Su Chen didn’t even try to dodge, and there was not the slightest change in his expression or breathing, as if, he knew she wouldn’t truly kill him.
For so reason, the emotions that were previously extinguished uncontrollably surged up again.
Su Chen’s presence was strange, utterly elusive and intangible to her.
“The true essence of ‘Heart Sword’ lies in letting nature take its course, following the Heavenly Dao.
You’ve been on the wrong path right from the start.
Perhaps, by extinguishing all emotions, by completely imrsing yourself in the world of the sword, you might make great strides in swordsmanship.
However, this way, you will never break through to the final level of the ‘Heart Sword’.” Su Chen said calmly, “The sword is always ant for protection, it embodies passion, not for forsaking, not for being heartless.”
“You…” Yoo Junluo’s breathing abruptly halted, Su Chen’s words delivered an indescribable shock to her, even striking at the very foundation of her being.
One must know that ever since she began her sword training, she had walked the path of the Heartless Sword.
In her view, only when the sword was her sole world, devoid of anything else, could she reach the pinnacle of swordsmanship and break through the final level of ‘Heart Sword’.
What Su Chen had said, essentially, was a complete overthrow of her beliefs and convictions for over twenty years!!!
It nearly shattered her True Heart!
For a mont, Yoo Junluo’s hand trembled slightly.
There were two voices within her.
The first voice said, kill the person before her eyes, for if not, the True Heart is broken, and there is no possibility to climb to the peak of the Martial Arts.
The second voice said, spare him, talk to him, perhaps, from the very beginning, one has indeed been on the wrong path.
While Yoo Junluo was silent, Su Chen stood quietly, not disturbing her.
In fact, he knew how extrely dangerous his situation was at this mont, completely at the rcy of Jun Luo’s thoughts!
But, this was the only way.
After more than a dozen breaths.
Suddenly.
Whoosh, the sword that was pointed at Su Chen disappeared, retracted by Yoo Junluo.
Su Chen let out a sigh of relief.
Although he appeared to be not too expressive, inside he was bitterly smiling and feeling fortunate.
Thankfully, he had won the gamble.
“Why should I believe you?” Yoo Junluo asked, her voice still cold, but the killing intent was gone.
“You retracting your sword indicates that you sowhat believe already.
In fact, even without my reminder, maybe one day in the future, you would co to realize it yourself!” Su Chen replied earnestly.
How could he know this so clearly?
It’s because in his past life, Yoo Junluo was the one who ultimately broke through the final level of ‘Heart Sword’ and voluntarily told him, explaining she had understood the aning of protection and the sword and hence had broken through.
At that ti, Su Chen did not understand what Yoo Junluo’s phrase about ‘the aning of protection and the sword’ ant until the mont of his previous life’s death and rebirth.
Then he suddenly realized, she was referring to protecting him—it was him, Su Chen, who she wanted to protect!
“I accept your viewpoint, but if I find out you have deceived , I will make you wish for life you cannot have, and for death that will not co!” Yoo Junluo looked deeply at Su Chen, accepting his advice as her own.
This ti, it was Su Chen’s turn to be surprised.
Not just a little surprised!!!
He was well aware of Yoo Junluo’s personality: a woman whose heart, once decided, would rarely change, unwaveringly resolute.
While he had spoken the key to breaking through the final level of ‘Heart Sword’, in truth, he had only hoped to make her hesitate and reflect, to be frank, to prevent this mont from being his end at her hands.
Su Chen never would have wildly imagined that Yoo Junluo would completely trust him right off the bat, only that her own mont of enlightennt would co a little earlier after his tipping point, nothing more.
But who could have expected…
Jun Luo genuinely believed in and was even prepared to accept his advice?
What on earth was going on?
It shouldn’t be like this!
“Surprised?” Yoo Junluo saw the astonishnt on Su Chen’s face and said indifferently, “Surprised that I would directly accept your advice?”
“Why?” Su Chen asked in a deep voice, his expression very solemn.
“Because, in your eyes, I saw another !” Yoo Junluo enunciated every word.
What?
Su Chen’s face changed drastically, and he even lost his composure for a mont.
He saw another himself?
What did that an?
Su Chen’s thoughts wildly proliferated, his first thought being that Yoo Junluo sohow knew he was soone reborn, and even more, she knew about their relationship in his past life?
However, he quickly shook his head.
No, Yoo Junluo didn’t know he was soone reborn…
What she could see, or knew, was just that she had a connection with him.
But even so, it was still startling and shocking.
“Causality?
!!!” Su Chen thought of this term, past life’s causality, this life’s fate?
For a mont, Su Chen’s mind whirled up a storm again…
He thought even more and suddenly had a terrifying thought——his reincarnation was no accident, and this world was beyond his imagination; the self of his past might have only seen the tip of the iceberg.
“I give you one year.
If you do not die within a year, and if, after one year, you can defeat , then you will be my, Yoo Junluo’s, fiancé!”
The next mont, while Su Chen’s thoughts were in chaos, Yoo Junluo spoke lightly, and then, her figure flickered, and she disappeared.
Su Chen stood alone on the rooftop, silent, and for a very, very long ti did not leave the rooftop.
This evening, his first eting with Jun Luo in this life, greatly shook him.
He had disrupted Yoo Junluo’s fixed notions about swordsmanship, and had Yoo Junluo not also shattered his own fixed notions since his rebirth?
“Maybe, everything isn’t so simple!” After who knows how long, Su Chen took a deep breath, murmuring to himself, his eyes becoming even more sparkling.
“If it really is like that, then I need to accelerate my martial arts cultivation and strive to enhance my strength!” Su Chen felt a sense of urgency.
Originally, without tonight’s encounter with Jun Luo, Su Chen was in no hurry.
He would have followed the mories of his past life, slowly setting up and slowly reaping the results of his cultivation.
Of course, what he called slow was, for an average Martial Cultivator, akin to the speed of a rocket.
But after eting with Jun Luo, he had to be cautious and had to replan so things.
“It seems I must hasten to Taixuan Academy, but currently, I am not a person of the Martial Arts World; the only way for soone from the Secular World to enter Taixuan Academy is through one of the six universities that collaborate with the Martial Arts World.” Su Chen mused quietly, his eyes sparkling even more.
With mories from his past life, Su Chen was very clear about what he needed in this life.
For instance, he really needed to enter Taixuan Academy, which was of utmost importance.
Taixuan Academy was the sole martial arts institution of Taixuan Mountain, and of the Martial Arts World, admitting students once every three years, with a thousand spots each ti.
Out of these thousand spots, nine hundred forty were reserved for the Martial Arts World itself, leaving only sixty for the Secular World.
These sixty spots were controlled by the six universities of the Secular World with ties to the Martial Arts World, and Chengfeng University was among those six.
To enter Taixuan Academy as soone from the Secular World, this was the only thod, with no alternative; not even pulling strings would work, as the ten plus Old Monsters of Taixuan Academy were not ordinary sticklers or obstinate elders.
“There are still over nine months until Taixuan Academy’s admissions begin!”
Originally, according to Su Chen’s previous plan, he would stay at Chengfeng University for over nine months, then, after that ti, secure one of the ten spots from the university and smoothly enter Taixuan Academy.
But now it seed…
over nine months was too long!
