The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

"Old Han, what's the matter?" Tang Rao had an unhappy face, his vacation being interrupted.

"Must be something important to reach out to you, hehe, Tang Rao, you are, after all, the Chief Instructor of the Special Ninth Department and a pioneer in the Cultivation World. We've scouted a group of cultivators with excellent qualifications from various countries, hoping you could give them some guidance," Han Wanli said.

Tang Rao: "..."

"You're bothering me with this? Couldn't you just send someone else, the Special Ninth Department does have a few cultivators with decent strengths, right!" Tang Rao complained, pouting.

"We can't suppress them!" Han Wanli said helplessly, "Now the whole world is implementing a registration system for cultivators, and even though we only provided techniques up to the Qi Gathering stage, there are still many talented individuals who have broken through Qi Gathering and reached higher realms."

Hearing Han Wanli's words, Tang Rao was also somewhat surprised.

Are the people of Blue Star all so incredible? They can breakthrough on their own without subsequent cultivation techniques?

"The Internet is a double-edged sword after all," said Han Wanli, "There are all kinds of cultivation techniques online now, of course, most of them are fake, impractical. But there are smart ones, those good at deduction, who've deduced the later parts of the techniques."

"Can't they be blocked?" Tang Rao was also somewhat helpless, Qi Gathering is the foundation of cultivation, and many cultivation techniques are derived from the methods associated with Qi Gathering.

The people of Blue Star naturally have high levels of intellect and free-thinking, so it isn't too surprising that they've managed to deduce the later parts.

Of course, it's likely only up to the Golden Core Stage they could deduce. Getting to the Nascent Soul involves the Heavenly Dao and its rules, not something that can be deduced so casually.

"We're already filtering and screening it, but it's probably impossible to eliminate it completely in the short term," Han Wanli said.

"Alright, let's go have a look then. By the way, how's the Special Team doing?" Tang Rao asked.

The so-called Special Team is based on a national and military-police system to select suitable military and police personnel for cultivation training.

This is a necessity, as all ordinary people around the world can get into cultivation, and their strength will grow rapidly. If the military and police don't advance quicker and stronger, they won't be able to maintain control in the future.

"Steady improvement, but they're having difficulties facing those highly skilled cultivators scouted from around the globe. That's exactly why we called you here," Han Wanli said.

"Fine, let's go," Tang Rao nodded and followed Han Wanli to the training field.

The training field of the Special Ninth Department is incredibly large, at least the size of four football fields. Keep in mind, this is in Tiandu. Even though it's in the outskirts, it's still prime real estate.

Such a large piece of land could definitely make a fortune if used for housing.

There were quite a few people gathered on the training field, a vast, buzzing crowd; at a glance, there must be over ten thousand.

"Are there no more experts?"

"Yeah, is this all that the Special Ninth Department is capable of?"

"Is this the power of the Special Ninth Department? Jointly resisting the Seventy-two Domains from the nine realms, it's just ridiculous!"

Continual shouts from people of various nations could be heard, all speaking Flamian, although many were not very fluent.

It's clear that the military and police personnel present are all very angry, but they still restrained themselves.

They are soldiers, police officers, disciplined forces; they cannot act without orders.

Besides, those cultivators selected from all over the world are indeed very strong.

"Tang Rao, you see..." Han Wanli looked towards Tang Rao.

"A small matter." Tang Rao snapped his fingers, and the next moment, he rose into the air.

"The Special Ninth Department is full of experts; the question is whether you have the ability to match them." In the air, Tang Rao called out calmly.

His voice wasn't loud but clear enough for everyone to hear distinctly.

Everyone looked up, gazing towards the sky.

Tang Rao stood effortlessly suspended in mid-air, exuding an insufferable smugness.

"Come on, whoever thinks they're all that, step up and fight me. If you can't even manage to fly, then just shut your mouth obediently. Don't act high and mighty just because you've got a trick or two; this is not the place for you to run wild, Special Ninth Department." Tang Rao's voice was ice-cold, dripping with arrogance.

Flight...

Many cultivators balked at the idea. To be exact, one would need to reach the Nascent Soul Stage to fly. As for those in the Golden Core Stage, they could linger in the air for a bit, but flying was a different story and likely too difficult for them.

Fighting in the sky – that would require one to be at least at the Nascent Soul Stage, right?

Did any of them belong to the Nascent Soul Stage? Of course not. Even those in the Golden Core Stage were few and far between—just a handful.

"Weren't you all acting pretty arrogant just now? How come you're all cowering suddenly?" Tang Rao sneered.

"Damn it, I am Tian Chengyu Husband, come down and fight me if you dare! Just because you can fly doesn't mean you're strong!" A cultivator at the Golden Core Stage from the crowd shouted.

Judging by his tone and name, he was clearly from Wuluo Country.

Tang Rao was particularly not fond of people from Wuluo Country.

"Fine, I'll come down then." Tang Rao nodded, his figure flashed, and he appeared right in front of Tian Chengyu Husband.

Tang Rao's sudden appearance startled everyone; nobody saw how he got there.

"Go ahead, I accept your challenge," Tang Rao said to Tian Chengyu Husband.

Tian Chengyu Husband swallowed hard and gripped his katana tightly.

"Don't waste my time, make your move," Tang Rao shouted.

"Ya!" Tian Chengyu Husband roared, his body leaning forward slightly, his left hand pressed against the scabbard and right hand on the hilt.

"Sword Drawing Slash!" Tian Chengyu Husband struck instantly, using his strongest move powered by Spiritual Energy.

Sword Drawing Slash, Tang Rao could only laugh.

Without a Spiritual Technique, they were reduced to such simple moves. Spiritual Techniques weren't easy to derive; each was the result of endless variations and innovations by countless geniuses over many years; such techniques couldn't simply be created on a whim.

"Bang!" Tang Rao stepped forward and extended his hand.

To the bystanders, Tang Rao's movement seemed unhurried.

Yet, it was this seemingly slow motion that, exactly at the moment Tian Chengyu Husband's sword was about to be drawn, pressed down on the sword handle.

Tang Rao applied a slight force with his hand and pushed the katana back into the scabbard.

Tian Chengyu Husband's Sword Drawing Slash didn't even get a chance to be executed.

"Want to try again?" Tang Rao stepped back, looking at Tian Chengyu Husband.

Tian Chengyu Husband looked at Tang Rao, startled, while the others around also swallowed hard.

After all, Tian Chengyu Husband was at the early Golden Core Stage, so why was he no match, unable to even draw his sword.

"Damn it, Sword Drawing Slash!" Tian Chengyu Husband didn't give up. He roared again, stepped forward fiercely, and gripped the hilt rapidly.

Spiritual Energy surged through his entire body as he drew his sword frantically.

As for Tang Rao, he was still as leisurely as ever, moving his body, stretching out his arm, and at the exact moment when Tian Chengyu Husband drew his sword, he slapped the sword handle.

The katana was forced back into its scabbard once more, with a resounding clang.
