Chapter 60: Gu Xin's Confession

  "The tenth floor, let me see what's so scary about the tenth floor." As for Rourou's words, Huang Yu still believed them, but was just unwilling to admit it in his heart.

  One foot stepped in.

  Sword lights, countless sword lights shoot out.

  "Sparkle, sparkle."

  That terrifying sword light made Huang Yu's heart filled with terror, unable to resist, retreat.

  "What a powerful sword aura! Very intimidating." Huang Yu dodged and weaved, his Purple Extreme Sword flashing as he shouted, "Lei Long's Fury!"

  "Bump."

  Zi Ji Jian collided violently with the sword energy, and Huang Yu was blown away.

  Before he could even stand up properly, countless sword auras shot towards Huang Yu once again.

  "Damn it, how can there be so many sword auras? Is this really the world of swords?" Huang Yu was extremely depressed. These sword auras were so terrifying that he couldn't even block them. Now Huang Yu finally understood why LuLu said that he had no chance of succeeding on the tenth floor.

  "Lu Lu."

  "Master, how is it? Lulu didn't deceive you, did she?"

  "What should I do to pass this level?" Huang Yu knew that if possible, Lu Lu would have a way.

  "It's impossible at this level, with Master's current abilities, there's no way to achieve it, unless Master can comprehend the sword domain." Lulu shook her head and said.

  "Ken no kiwa?"

  "Yes, unless the master can comprehend the sword domain, it's impossible to break through this level." Ruru said.

  "What is Kendo?"

  "The sword domain is the realm of the sword, it's a special domain formed by those who cultivate the sword when they reach a certain level. This domain is created by the sword energy and is called the sword domain." Lulu explained, "To understand the sword domain, you must first understand the sword energy, then understand the intent of the sword, and finally form the sword domain. But Master hasn't even grasped the sword energy yet, let alone the sword domain. So, Master shouldn't think about it for now, wait until your strength improves and you reach the Thunder Tribulation realm before trying to break through this level." Lulu shook her head.

  "Is there a way for me to instantly comprehend the Sword Domain?" As soon as he heard that the Sword Domain was so formidable, Huang Yu's heart began racing with excitement. If he could obtain the Sword Domain, wouldn't his strength increase exponentially?

  "Don't even think about it." Lulu said.

  "Is there really no way?"

  "No."

  Looking at Lu Lu's serious expression, Huang Yu knew there was no way out and reluctantly nodded.

  "Whoosh." Sword auras came pouring in mercilessly towards Huang Yu.

  "Damn it, can't I even avoid it?" Huang Yu turned his head and saw that it was the entrance they had come in from earlier.

  With a sudden swing of his sword, a wall of light formed, blocking the terrifying sword energy. He then leaped back, instantly returning to the entrance of the ninth floor.

  After jumping out, Huang Yu finally let out a sigh of relief.

  ……

  "He failed."

  "It's impossible."

  "He retreated back to the ninth floor."

  "It failed."

  "It really failed."

  "As expected, it's not easy to break through to the tenth floor."

  "It finally stopped."

  "It was too terrifying, and in one breath, I rushed up to the tenth floor."

  "After all, his cultivation is still too weak, he's only at the Human Infant Realm. If his cultivation were at the Yuan Shen Realm, it's highly likely that he could break through to the tenth layer."

  "It's already a stroke of luck to have made it to the tenth level, and yet you still want to break through the tenth level? That's simply delusional."

  "That's because his cultivation is too low, if he had come to conquer the tower a bit later and his cultivation was higher, then he would definitely be able to pass the tenth floor, and might even break the record of the True Martial Continent."

  "He's out, he's come out."

  "Huang Yu, Huang Yu, Huang Yu."

  "Genius."

  "Pride of Nanjing."

  "I want to marry him."

  "Huang Yu, I love you."

  As soon as Huang Yu walked out of the tower, he felt what it was like to be a star. The entire scene was boiling over with shouts and cheers, and the crowd surged forward incessantly.

  Huang Yu was startled and wondered what's going on?

  Is it because I broke through to the tenth floor?

  Looking at the surging crowd, Huang Yu felt his scalp numb.

  Having experienced great winds and waves, I had previously faced thousands of enemies and countless fierce ghosts and zombies without fear. However, facing this surging crowd was a headache.

  Suddenly, a hand grasped me.

  "Come on, follow me."

  It's Gu Xiang.

  Huang Yu nodded.

  Only then did Gu Xin pull herself up and leap towards the sky.

  Then a pair of turquoise wings appeared behind her back.

  Huang Yu soared into the sky and disappeared.

  "He's gone."

  "It flew away."

  "Who is that? Who is that woman?"

  "What's with your attitude? You don't even know Gu Xin from Shen Shi Ge?"

  "Shén Shí Gé's Ancient Heaven's daughter? That water-wood dual attribute genius girl?"

  "Who else could it be? If it weren't for her father Gu Tian back then, Huang Yu would have probably been beaten to death by Liu Guangming."

  "What's going on with Liu Guangming?"

  "You don't know? How embarrassing, your information is so outdated, I don't know how you've managed to survive." The man said with disdain.

  ……

  ……

  Seeing Huang Yu leave, one person hastily left and came to a mansion. At the door, he lightly knocked and then pushed the door open.

  "Master, the target has escaped."

  "Keep an eye on him."

  "It can't be done, young master."

  "What's wrong with that? It's not like I'm asking you to kill him, can't even handle such a small matter?" The young master was somewhat annoyed.

  "He flew away from the sky."

  "How is this possible?" The young master suddenly stood up and exclaimed, "Has his cultivation already reached the Yin-Yang realm?"

  Only cultivators who have broken through the Tribulation Realm and reached the Yin-Yang Realm can walk in mid-air, so when he heard that Huang Yu was flying away, the young master was startled for a moment. The cultivation of the Yin-Yang Realm is extraordinary, and there are only a few people in the entire Seven Water City who have achieved it, and they are all old guys.

  If he was already a strong practitioner of the Yin and Yang realm at such a young age, then that's all there is to it.

  For someone like that, unless you can kill with one blow, there's only retreat. To be their enemy is to seek death.

  "No, it's not, it's Gu Xin, Gu Xin of Shen Shi Ge who took him away."

  "It was her."

  "What's wrong, young master?"

  "You fool, don't you know to guard the Divine Stone Pavilion? Since it was Gu Xiang who took them away, they must be heading to the Divine Stone Pavilion. As long as we guard the outside of the pavilion, that's all." The young master kicked him and said.

  ……

  ……

  "Shen Shi Ge, I don't believe you'll spend your whole life stuck in Shen Shi Ge and never come out." Outside Shen Shi Ge, Nian Shang Cheng watched as Gu Xin led Huang Yu inside, his steel teeth clenched.

  Huang Yu naturally didn't know that at this time many people had already set their sights on him, hating him to the bone and wanting to kill him to feel better.

  Gu Xiang didn't let go until they entered her own courtyard, then she finally came back to herself, releasing Huang Yu's hand, a flush rising to her face.

  "Are you okay?" Looking at Gu Xiang's flushed little face, which was as red as a ripened cherry, Huang Yu didn't understand what was going on and thought she was tired, so he asked with concern.

  "Ah...... nothing, what could I possibly have going on? Oh right, you... your cultivation has broken through again?" Gu Xin snapped back to reality and quickly changed the subject to hide her thoughts.

  "A minor breakthrough."

  "Is this still considered a minor breakthrough?" Gu Xin's eyes widened the moment she heard, before coming here, Huang Yu's cultivation was only at the Yuan Dan realm, and his Yuan Dan realm cultivation had not even been consolidated yet. Now, in just two days, he has already reached the fourth layer of the Ren Yu realm. This kind of speed, if it's still called a minor breakthrough, then what about other people, do they still want to live?

  "Don't look at me like that, I'm just stating the facts."

  "You... is this what you call a small breakthrough? What then is a major breakthrough?" Gu Xin's temper was completely gone upon hearing these words.

  "Gu Xin, don't get excited. The reason I was able to reach the fourth layer of Ren Yu so quickly is because of special circumstances, so it's really not a big deal."

  "What's special about it?"

  "It's inconvenient for me to tell you." Huang Yu shook his head and said.

  "Don't tell me, don't tell me, what's the big deal? I'm not even interested in knowing. Although you've made great progress, but compared to this young lady, you're still far behind." Gu Xin said discontentedly with a hum, "You took advantage of me before, and I haven't even settled accounts with you yet. Now it's time for us to have a good reckoning!"

  "Uh, I... uh, it wasn't on purpose, Gu Xin. You're a magnanimous person, so please forgive me?" Huang Yu's face turned dark as he begged for mercy.

  "Isn't it intentional? You're being deliberate!" Gu Xin stepped closer and closer, while Huang Yu slowly backed away.

  In his heart, he muttered to himself, "Why does it look so scary? I'm a man after all, a real man should have some dignity. Am I afraid of her, a little woman?" But thinking about it, looking at Gu Xin's eyes, Huang Yu still didn't dare say anything out loud. In his heart, he secretly admitted defeat: "I give up, good men don't fight with women."

  "Gu Xin, I... alright, I was wrong, what do you want to do?" He shrugged and said with a 'dead pig not afraid of boiling water' attitude, looking at Gu Xin.

  "This is what you said." Gu Xian's face lit up with a smile as she looked at Huang Yu, who had admitted defeat. She was delighted and her mouth curved upwards slightly, her eyes becoming crescent-shaped.

  "It's what I said, as long as it doesn't go against the way of things and doesn't make me harm myself, I can grant you one request." Huang Yu thought for a moment, being entangled with her all along wasn't a good thing either, he had many things to attend to himself. Moreover, in two days, he would be leaving Shen Shi Pavilion anyway. After all, Gu Tian's help was already sufficient, and now that his cultivation had broken through, he also had the power to protect himself against Liu Guangming and Nian Shangcheng's revenge.

  "One condition, can."

  "Go on, what's your request." Huang Yu looked at Gu Xin.

  "You're responsible for me." Gu Xin looked at Huang Yu and blinked, her tone becoming serious.

  "What?" Huang Yu was startled and wondered if he had misheard or was hallucinating.

  "I'm telling you, you have to take responsibility for me, you have to marry me." Gu Xian stared at Huang Yu, she was a person who dared to love and hate, once she had confirmed her thoughts about Huang Yu, she no longer hid her feelings, boldly expressing them, although her face was burning hot, but she didn't back down, bravely facing Huang Yu.

  "Huang Yu was suddenly stunned, he had never thought that it would end up like this, and he had not expected Gu Xin to confess her feelings to him and ask him to marry her."
