The School Beauty’s Super Rogue

"Eh? Disciple, what happened?" Master Chu had just entered when he saw Jin Nanzhi suddenly stand up.

In an instant, Jin Nanzhi’s whole body went rigid, every single hair standing on end.

"Ahem, nothing, Senior Brother Jin Nanzhi just slipped by accident."

Qin Hao’s words were like a royal pardon to Jin Nanzhi, making him feel as if he’d just escaped calamity.

Master Chu might not be that capable, but his temper was famously explosive, and he’s always liked punishing disciples to show off his authority.

If he ever found out someone badmouthed him...

You could easily imagine how miserable that person would be.

Luckily, Qin Hao hadn’t gone back on his word.

Jin Nanzhi gave Qin Hao a complicated look, then turned to Master Chu and said, "Elder Chu, my master has called for me, so I’ll be heading back first."

"Alright."

Master Chu nodded blandly. Jin Nanzhi lowered his head and left the residence, his back hunched.

Jin Nanzhi may have left, but everyone remaining was still in shock. Only when Master Chu gave a dry cough did they come back to their senses and look at Qin Hao with fearful eyes.

Damn, how is this guy a demon wherever he goes?

Newly arrived and he’s already made a senior disciple behave himself like a tame puppy.

Gotta hand it to him!

Master Chu could roughly guess something had gone down just now, but he didn’t ask. Instead, he waved his hand and said, "Outer Disciples, you may leave first. Qin Hao, Wang Yufei, Ye Ruxue, you three stay behind."

"Yes!"

The many Outer Disciples could only look at the three with envy, then slink off in defeat.

"Ahem, now that all outsiders are gone, let’s talk business."

Master Chu went over to the meditation cushions in the hall and sat down, looking very much like a high-level expert with Daoist grace and immortal bones.

Qin Hao and the other two walked over and sat on the cushions opposite him.

"Any questions you want to ask?" Master Chu didn’t rush to introduce things; he asked first.

"Master, are you Cultivators?"

Qin Hao asked seriously.

"Of course." Master Chu said without the slightest hesitation.

"Then what are the realms in cultivation?"

Ye Ruxue spoke for the first time. You could tell that the word "Cultivator" meant a lot to someone like her who was desperate to become stronger.

Master Chu gave Ye Ruxue a satisfied look. After all this time, this female disciple was finally speaking.

Promising child.

"The realms for Cultivators are simple: Postnatal, Innate, Qi Condensation, Unity, Void Transformation, and Human Immortal."

Master Chu spoke at ease. Seeing that the three of them didn’t understand, he explained, "Postnatal refers to all Cultivators who haven’t entered the path yet; the Martial Artists in your outside world all fall into this category."

Wang Yufei couldn’t help speaking up, "Martial Artists are all just lumped into the lowest realm? But the Sect Leader of my sect is an expert of the Divine Realm. Are you saying she’s not even as good as your Innate?"

Wang Yufei was a bit unconvinced.

Martial Artists also have distinct realms, and the power gap between each realm is huge.

Her Sect Leader was a Celestial Tier powerhouse. Such a master doesn’t even count as Innate?

Wang Yufei was really not buying it, feeling like Master Chu was bragging.

"Hehe." Master Chu chuckled and shook his head. "Yu Fei. You have to understand, no matter how heaven-defying a mortal’s Inner Strength is, it’s still just Inner Strength. As for us Cultivators, the moment we cultivate even a trace of Spiritual Qi, we surpass them. So, no matter how strong a Martial Artist is, before they’ve cultivated Spiritual Qi, they’re ultimately still in the Postnatal Realm."

Qin Hao’s eyes lit up. "Master, you mean, as long as we cultivate Spiritual Qi, we’re Innate?"

"Correct." Master Chu nodded slightly. "But to reach the Peak of Innate, the Spiritual Energy Value in a Cultivator’s body has to reach a certain level. After that, they can attempt Qi Condensation."

Hearing this, Qin Hao was overjoyed inside. Didn’t that mean he already counted as an Innate Cultivator?

"Actually, among the people here, one of you has already stepped into Innate."

Master Chu had just spoken when Qin Hao’s heart blossomed—Master is about to praise me.

Who knew that Master Chu would suddenly change direction, point at Ye Ruxue, and say, "When I probed Xiaoxue’s condition just now, I found traces of Spiritual Qi in her body. If I’m not mistaken, Xiaoxue is already in the Innate Realm."

"What!" The moment these words came out, Qin Hao was left awkward and speechless, while Wang Yufei stared at Ye Ruxue with a completely displeased face.

Ye Ruxue’s expression didn’t change. She murmured, "The Spiritual Qi in my body was cultivated using a Secret Technique my master gave me. But because the Secret Technique’s realm is limited, my progress has been slow. If Elder Chu can help me improve, I’m willing to take you as my master!"

Those words were Ye Ruxue laying her resolve bare.

Master Chu smiled and nodded. "Xiaoxue, don’t worry. As long as you listen to my teachings and cultivate earnestly, I can guarantee that with your outstanding talent, reaching the Unity Realm will be very solidly within reach!"

Ye Ruxue wasn’t swayed by Master Chu’s words. She said solemnly, "Let’s hope so."

Beside her, Wang Yufei was unhappy and quickly said, "Then I haven’t cultivated Spiritual Qi yet, doesn’t that mean I can’t compare to Ye Ruxue?"

Master Chu naturally placed his hand on Wang Yufei’s head. "Let me check."

Ten minutes later, he withdrew his hand and said regretfully, "There are no signs of Spiritual Qi in your body yet. You’re still in the Postnatal Realm."

"Oh." Disappointment was written all over Wang Yufei’s face.

Master Chu then added, "But don’t be discouraged. I just injected a trace of Spiritual Qi into your body to probe. I’ve found that your aptitude is also quite remarkable. As long as you put in the effort, your achievements won’t necessarily be worse than Ye Ruxue’s."

"Really?!" Wang Yufei’s eyes lit up. She immediately straightened and declared, "As long as you can help me surpass that woman, I’m willing to take you as my master too!"

"Hehe, that’s something I wouldn’t dare guarantee. But leading you onto the wide, bright path of immortality is well within my ability."

Seeing this, Wang Yufei stopped resisting, obediently called out "Master," and Master Chu grinned from ear to ear.

"Master, aren’t you going to check my Spiritual Root?"

Qin Hao said, his face full of expectation.

Pan Li had said his talent was outstanding. If Master Chu found out, wouldn’t he be over the moon?

"You? I don’t even need to check; you’re definitely exceptional too!"

Master Chu smiled in satisfaction and placed his large hand on top of Qin Hao’s head to start his inspection.

Three seconds later, Master Chu withdrew his hand, the smile on his face gone.

"Master? How is it?"

Qin Hao felt that smile disappearing was not a good sign.

Master Chu’s voice turned hard and cold. "The Inner Strength in your body is very powerful, stronger than what Xiaoxue and Xiaofei have combined."

With those words, Ye Ruxue and Wang Yufei both looked at Qin Hao in astonishment.

Master Chu then poured cold water over him. "But precisely because your Inner Strength is too strong, it actually obstructs the birth of Spiritual Qi. Right now you have no Spiritual Qi in your body and are still at the Postnatal Realm. Your Spiritual Root is also quite ordinary, so your cultivation progress won’t be very fast. And because your Inner Strength is so immense, when you try to cultivate Spiritual Qi in the future, your steps will be extremely difficult. So, all things considered, your aptitude is very bad."

As his words fell, Wang Yufei and Ye Ruxue both let out a breath of relief.

Fortunately, this shameless bastard isn’t a genius.
