Chapter 146: Jenny and Xue
These two weeks had been quite beneficial for Tyler, but this wasn’t the end of his training.
With no wars on the border, Tyler was spending most of his time strengthening his swordsmanship with Xue.
Even though he was fighting the same person again and again, her fighting style had so many varieties that Tyler felt like he was fighting a thousand people.
This allowed him to constantly make progress in his battle tactics, battle intuition, and mastering his strength.
Mastering his strength was the most important part of his training.
After all, he had the power of a Grandmaster with the body of a Warrior. Not only that, but he also had Invincible Sword Intent and two natural flames.
Even then, he kept making progress on his Sword Intent, slowly losing control of his own strength.
Thanks to Xue, he managed to master his strength within two days.
The first day was about mastering his sword, while the second day was about mastering his body.
Today was the third day of the third week; Tyler was once again sparring with Xue.
Their sparring session would go as long as Tyler’s mana wasn’t exhausted.
But just as he was about to continue his training, the tower suddenly spoke in his mind.
"Master, there is a presence standing outside your door. It belongs to that human commander."
Hearing that, Tyler paused his sparring and said.
"Teacher, I’ve to leave."
Murong Xue also paused and nodded. The sword in her hand disappeared.
Tyler sheathed his sword, placing it inside the Spatial Ring before leaving the tower.
"So, how has it been? I thought it would take you years to recover your Sword Intent."
Jenny walked towards Xue with a bored expression on her face. While they were training, Jenny had nothing to do.
Because of the noise, she could barely focus on enlightenment.
"I already had a good foundation in my swordsmanship. I just need to find my path. It wasn’t hard."
Xue replied with a cold expression.
Jenny nodded.
"Indeed! Your swordsmanship might not have that eerie feeling anymore, but it does feel more evil than before."
Xue smirked and asked.
"Then, how do you feel evil?"
Jenny froze and angrily replied.
"I was saying your swordsmanship feels too wrong."
Then, her expression returned to normal as she continued.
"But Tyler seems to have fully accepted your swordsmanship, and his respect for you has only grown stronger."
Her words made Xue pause.
During their battle, Xue also felt the same thing. Despite the ruthlessness of her sword intent, Tyler showed immense respect towards her.
It was baffling because, for all intents and purposes, Tyler was the so-called ’good guy’. He might be cunning, but he had always been a good person.
Her ruthless sword intent should’ve made him feel bad towards her. But instead of that, he even said he was glad she found her true sword intent.
"Maybe he is confusing my sword intent with something else."
Jenny rolled her eyes.
"Are you kidding me? How can he confuse something like that? I am pretty sure he understands the implications of your Sword Intent."
"But to be honest, compared to the path you created by following others, this path seems to be more truthful to your nature."
"Ruthless Sword Intent! Showing no mercy to the opponent regardless of the circumstances."
Hearing that, Murong Xue nodded.
"Not just to the opponent but also to my own emotions! If I am forced to use fifty percent of my strength, I will no longer be able to control my strength."
"It’s not a matter of control but the nature of my Sword Intent."
Suddenly, her expression got serious as she said.
"During our battle, I almost used one percent of my strength."
"What?"
Jenny was stunned before she chuckled.
"That’s quite impressive. Isn’t this something to be happy about?"
Murong Xue seriously continued speaking.
"This kind of power shouldn’t exist in the Lower Realm. He is only at the Middle Stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm."
Jenny rolled her eyes.
"That’s Treasured Body Realm for this world."
"Regardless, it’s just the first realm, and he is already pushing my strength to one percent. Don’t you think Invincible Sword Intent is too monstrous?"
Xue asked.
Jenny shrugged her shoulders and said.
"Maybe! Don’t forget his sword belief. He genuinely believes swordsmanship is a path of invincibility."
"More importantly, he might have seen the possibility of what swordsmanship could achieve."
"No, rather he believes his swordsman could do anything. That’s why his Invincible Sword Intent is so different."
"Even if it breaks, it reconstitutes itself and reaches a new level. During those sparring matches, he was soaking up a lot of experience from you."
Hearing that, Xue nodded.
"That is indeed the case. Without his reminder, I wouldn’t have made this kind of progress in my swordsmanship."
Jenny gave her a jealous look.
"You two are improving each other while I am stagnating at one realm again. Get off my floor! I want to improve as well."
Xue couldn’t help but crack a chuckle.
"I think you are jealous that I spent two weeks with him while you can’t spend two minutes without dual cultivation."
Jenny snorted.
"Humph! He is just using you to improve his strength. That’s not a normal conversation. It’s not different than our dual cultivation."
Xue clicked her tongue.
"So, you are jealous? Come on, don’t think you have fallen far too quickly in love with him?"
"It has been two dual cultivation sessions. Just how thirsty are you?"
Suddenly, she remembered something and smacked her fist on her palm before Jenny could get angry.
"I see! That’s the case. That’s your suppressed desire."
When Xue said that, Jenny’s expression showed pure horror.
"How do you know?"
Xue rolled her eyes.
"Idiot! The tower was observing you for far too long. Everyone from the last three floors can observe the outside world with ease."
"Even the women from other floors can observe the outside world if they concentrate enough."
Hearing that, Jenny’s face turned red as she angrily asked.
"Did you hear everything?"
Xue burst into laughter.
"Hahaha! Of course, I did."
She immediately made a serious look on her face, summoning a large golden throne as she sat down and pointed her finger in front of her.
"I will not marry a man. Nobody is worthy to be my husband, but I am the Queen; I am the Greatest Woman in this world."
"And I desire a harem. Once I reach the limit of this world, I will invite a hundred of the most handsome men in the world and make them my prince consort."
When she said that, she couldn’t hold her finger in the air for long and burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha! Harem of a hundred men! You were too amazing, Jenifer! I am telling you."
"If I weren’t uninterested in sexual relationships, I would’ve done the same."
Jenny’s expression continued to darken until a massive sea of flame appeared around her.
But not an inch of it touched Xue’s body. She kept laughing until she finally overcame her joyful mood and released a sigh.
"Seriously, Jenifer! You were a suppressed slut."
She walked in front of her and patted her on the shoulder.
"You don’t have to be ashamed of what you are. Look! I am a ruthless woman, but I never feel bad about my nature."
"I don’t like sharing my man just like how you don’t like cheating."
Jenny genuinely didn’t like cheating; otherwise, she wouldn’t have formed a harem.
She was already the princess of the Phoenix Clan on top of being the most talented lady in the world.
She could’ve had any man she desired, but she waited till she reached the peak of her world.
In her mind, even if she had suppressed desires, she didn’t want to find a man and cheat on him with another.
She wasn’t averse to dual cultivation nor sex. But just because she didn’t find the idea of cheating good, she wanted to do it openly.
So, when she said that she would gather hundreds of the most handsome men and make them male concubines.
She didn’t want to find a husband because she genuinely believed there was not a single person worthy enough to be one.
Xue felt a little bad about losing Jenifer. Just like Jenifer, she also didn’t like sharing a man.
She wanted to outright kill other women, including Daisy and Elena.
But she knew she couldn’t do that. It would only anger Tyler, making him completely cut his connection with her.
So, she worked with Jenifer to keep Tyler with them.
As long as they could turn Tyler into a man who valued dual cultivation over personal relationships, they could do whatever they wanted.
And they wanted to do it fast. At least, before he unlocked the second floor.
Unfortunately, Jenny gave in to her desires and became Tyler’s slut.
The worst thing was she wasn’t sure if they were even close to changing Tyler.
