Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.
In his room atop the Yunlan Sect's main peak, Ye Chen sat cross-legged on his soft bed, holding a third-tier Demon Core in his hands.
Wisps of energy streamed steadily from the core, flowing into his body as he absorbed them.
The Demon Core had already shrunk significantly in size....it was now the second one he had completely devoured.
Suddenly, a muffled boom echoed from within his body.
At once, a surge of energy exploded outward, radiating from his core and filling his entire body with a powerful, stable aura.
"Three-Star Dou Shi!"
Ye Chen opened his eyes slowly, dark pupils glittering with excitement. He had just broken through to the three-star Dou Shi realm.
A grin spread across his face. "At this pace… I won't take long before I reach the Grand Dou Shi level."
In just seven days, he had conquered two levels. His cultivation speed was astonishing....if this spread through the sect, it would shock everyone.
He rose and glanced at the portrait of Yun Yun above his bed, bowing his head in respect. Without his teacher's guidance, he wouldn't have made such rapid progress.
During these past seven days, under the watchful gaze of Yun Yun's portrait, all the restlessness and distractions that once plagued him had vanished.
His heart was fully focused on practicing the spear techniques and the Yuan-Swallowing Art.
Every day, he would look at Yun Yun's image multiple times, silently showing his respect. After all, without her careful instruction and encouragement, he would not have achieved what he had today.
"Chen'er."
A gentle voice suddenly echoed from outside.
"Huh?"
"I think I heard my teacher calling me."
Ye Chen opened his eyes and stared at the portrait on his bed, murmuring to himself, "Could I be imagining things?"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Suddenly, someone knocked on his door, accompanied by Yun Yun's clear voice.
"Chen'er, open the door quickly."
"This… this is really Teacher!"
This time, Ye Chen was certain. He jumped to his feet and opened the door immediately.
"Chen'er, what are you doing inside? I called you a few times and got no response."
Yun Yun stood there, dressed in flowing white robes. Her long black hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall, reaching her slim waist. Her beauty was ethereal, like a mountain flower untouched by the world, and her eyes held a gentle, serene light that seemed to calm the soul.
"Teacher, sorry. I was just focused on cultivation and didn't respond immediately. Please forgive me," Ye Chen said politely. "Please come in first."
Yun Yun smiled lightly. She was never annoyed when he got so absorbed in training. She nodded slightly and entered the room with him.
"Hmm? What is that smell?"
As soon as she stepped in, Yun Yun frowned slightly, noticing an unusual scent.
"Chen'er… haven't you showered in a few days?"
Her sharp gaze swept over him suspiciously.
Embarrassed, Ye Chen quickly shook his head. "No, Teacher. I take a shower every day."
He was meticulous about cleanliness....how could he possibly skip bathing, especially when he worked out multiple times daily?
"It's probably just from sweating during your training," he added hurriedly. "With the Dragon-Elephant Physique activated, my body is overflowing with energy all the time. To calm my mind, I do intense exercises every day...practicing spear techniques, sit-ups…"
His explanation was honest. Vigorous exercises naturally produced a lot of sweat, so a faint odor in the room was perfectly normal.
Yun Yun nodded, not caring much about it. She then took a jade vial from her storage ring and handed it to Ye Chen.
"Chen'er, you must be close to breaking into the Dou Shi realm. This vial of Purple Jade Spirit Liquid should help you achieve that."
Yun Yun had always paid close attention to his cultivation. She knew that half a month ago, he had reached the nine-star Dou Zhe level.
After stabilizing his power, he was now preparing for the breakthrough to Dou Shi.
Ye Chen accepted the vial without refusing or revealing his true current cultivation. His progress had suddenly sped up so quickly that explaining it would be difficult. Regardless, the Purple Jade Spirit Liquid was a source of energy, and it would help him.
"Chen'er, focus on your training. Leave everything else to me," Yun Yun said with a soft smile. She had never been disappointed by this precious disciple when it came to cultivation.
At that moment, her eyes flicked toward the portrait on Ye Chen's bed. A strange feeling rose in her chest.
"Chen'er… why did you hang my portrait above your bed?"
Any woman would feel awkward seeing her own portrait at a man's bedside, even if he were a disciple. Yun Yun felt a faint discomfort.
"It's for cultivation," Ye Chen quickly explained, noticing her reaction.
"Since I hung your portrait, I feel as if you are always watching me. It keeps me disciplined and focused. I wouldn't dare slack off for even a moment."
Hearing this, Yun Yun relaxed. The portrait indeed helped him greatly in his training. She even felt a little pleased—her many years of teaching had not been in vain.
