Night, Tongtian Peak.
A gentle breeze brushed past, rustling the leaves in the forest with a soft "shhh" sound.
Ji Changfeng lay on the hammock woven from the Amber Vermilion Silk, gazing at the dark sky, his mind occupied with unknown thoughts…
Today was already the fifth day of the Seven Peaks Tournament.
He had just finished his third-round match.
He had successfully advanced to the top eight.
Tomorrow, after the fourth match, he would be able to enter the top four.
"Whoosh—"
Just then, Ji Changfeng seemed to sense something.
He turned his head, seemingly without any particular emotion.
He saw a solitary, aloof girl appear in the moonlight above a sea of clouds. She held the Tianya.
Lu Xueqi stood there quietly, like a white lotus under the moon. She wore a white dress, its skirts gently swaying in the breeze, as if they might drift away at any moment.
The moonlight fell upon her, outlining her with a hazy halo. Her skin was as white as snow, and a hint of coldness and distance lingered in her eyes.
Lu Xueqi hadn't wanted to come.
Because…
She had realized that her recent interactions with Ji Changfeng seemed a bit too frequent.
The first night, unable to sleep, she happened to run into Ji Changfeng while taking a walk.
The second night, due to the noisy environment, she again 'happened' to encounter Ji Changfeng while taking a stroll to clear her head.
The third night, it was a coincidence.
The fourth night, it was a coincidence.
Tonight, Lu Xueqi hadn't planned to come out at all.
But her fellow disciple, a senior sister, had been persistently begging her.
She said that tomorrow's opponent was Ji Changfeng, and hoped she would step in and plead for mercy, asking Ji Changfeng to hold back a bit tomorrow…
So she wouldn't lose too embarrassingly.
No way.
Lu Xueqi came out to see if she could "coincidentally" meet Ji Changfeng and ask him to go easy on her senior sister.
And what do you know?
She actually "coincidentally" ran into Ji Changfeng.
Ji Changfeng noticed the aloof girl above the clouds.
He waved to her gently.
No choice.
That's just how Lu Xueqi is.
If you don't call out to her, she'll only stand silently above the sea of clouds, quietly watching you, staying alone for a while, and finally leaving quietly...
Ji Changfeng understood this well.
Therefore, every night when he met with Lu Xueqi, he would take some initiative.
"Swish—"
The breeze blew, and skirts fluttered.
The cold and aloof girl, embracing the Tianya Celestial Sword, slowly came to his side.
"Sit," Ji Changfeng said, gesturing casually to the spot beside him.
Hearing this, Lu Xueqi didn't hesitate. She smoothed her skirt and sat gracefully on the hammock woven from the Amber Vermilion Silk.
Once familiar, there's no hesitation.
That's how people are.
The two of them leaned against the hammock, their gazes fixed on the night sky.
For a moment, the scene was silent.
But after a moment, Lu Xueqi suddenly spoke, her voice cool and carrying a hint of distance.
"Your opponent tomorrow is my senior sister."
"Hmm?" Ji Changfeng turned his head slightly. He didn't feel any sense of 'distance' from the person before him; quite the opposite…
He felt she was very approachable.
Perhaps it was because they had known each other for a long time?
"I won't be going all out tomorrow," Ji Changfeng said softly.
His recent matches…
He had always defeated his opponents with a single sword intent and then left gracefully…
Such actions would indeed make some people, who cared about face, feel somewhat ashamed.
"Mm," Lu Xueqi nodded slightly.
She continued to sit there for a while.
It wasn't until the bright moon hung high in the sky that she finally got up and left.
Ji Changfeng watched Lu Xueqi's departing figure, a feeling of contentment washing over him.
He had to admit.
This kind of life was quite pleasant.
With a beautiful woman as company, it surpassed countless joys of the mortal world.
The next day.
On the stage of Tongtian Peak.
Ji Changfeng stood with his hands behind his back, dressed in white. A sharp sword intent flashed in his eyes, making him appear spirited and full of vigor, like a sharp sword yet to be drawn.
"Su Yi of Bamboo Peak, I request guidance from Junior Brother Ji."
Across from him, a woman said with a smile.
She had a gentle appearance, with a hint of cunning in her eyes. Although she wasn't as beautiful as Lu Xueqi or Tian Linger, she was still quite attractive.
"Ji Changfeng of Big Bamboo Peak, I request guidance from Senior Sister Su." Ji Changfeng slightly clasped his hands in a gesture of respect.
Su Yi noticed that he wasn't carrying any magical treasures, but she didn't care at all.
After all, she knew her own capabilities.
Even if Ji Changfeng didn't use a magical treasure.
It would be more than enough to beat her.
"Junior Brother Ji, be careful~" Su Yi's expression became slightly serious.
She held her magic treasure and directly attacked Ji Changfeng.
"Whoosh—"
The magic treasure flashed with a sharp light.
Ji Changfeng's expression didn't change.
He stood with his hands behind his back, and his figure flickered.
He dodged this attack directly.
Boom——
At the same time, Ji Changfeng flicked his finger lightly.
A gentle Azure Serpent Sword Intent erupted.
It instantly rushed towards Su Yi.
"Hmm?"
Seeing this, Su Yi's expression shifted slightly.
She understood the power of Two Sleeves Azure Serpent.
Therefore, she didn't dare to be careless in the slightest.
Immediately, she raised the magic treasure in her hand and cast a spell to defend herself.
Bang—
The spell successfully blocked the Azure Serpent Sword Intent.
Seeing this scene, Su Yi was slightly stunned.
Just like that…
Blocked it so easily?
Su Yi looked at Ji Changfeng's calm expression and immediately understood that he was going easy on her.
Oh no, perhaps he was going easy on her by a lot?
Otherwise, with her Jade Clarity Level 6 cultivation, how could she possibly block Ji Changfeng's Azure Serpent Sword Intent?
A smile appeared on Su Yi's face.
It seemed that Junior Sister Lu's 'plea' from last night had worked.
Her gaze swept towards the area beneath the stage, and she immediately saw Lu Xueqi, who was holding Tianya.
Su Yi winked playfully at her.
"Swish——"
At that moment, a sword light flashed.
A trace of killing intent suddenly erupted from the pale blue sword intent, directly attacking Su Yi's face.
"Not good!"
Su Yi's expression instantly changed.
Ji Changfeng watched her scrambling to defend and couldn't help but remind her, "Hold your center and guard your essence!"
He could see that this senior sister from Bamboo Peak was at a crucial level. With just a little guidance, she could break through to the seventh level of Jade Clarity...
Therefore, Ji Changfeng intended to help her.
Su Yi was slightly stunned when she heard this, but she quickly understood Ji Changfeng's meaning, and was overjoyed.
She immediately followed Ji Changfeng's instructions, calming her mind and focusing her energy.
The next moment, the Azure Serpent Sword Intent attacked again.
At the same time, Ji Changfeng's calm voice followed.
"Empty the mind, embrace tranquility."
"Unite the heart with the intention, the intention with the qi, and the qi with the strength!"
Listening to Ji Changfeng's guidance, Su Yi continuously wielded the magical treasure in her hand, its brilliant light blocking the sword intent that assailed from all sides…
"Whoosh!"
In a daze, her mind gradually merged with it.
Heart, intent, qi, force, and spirit slowly became one, and a brand new realm quietly appeared before her eyes.
Jade Clarity Level Seven!
"Boom—"
Instantly, vast amounts of spiritual energy from heaven and earth gathered towards her.
Ji Changfeng also dissipated the surrounding sword intent at this moment.
Such a scene.
Immediately drew everyone's attention.
A group of Qingyun disciples looked enviously at Su Yi, who had just broken through?
Jade Clarity Level 7! This level of cultivation could be considered an elite disciple within the entire Qingyun Sect.
At the same time, everyone's gaze couldn't help but fall on Ji Changfeng.
With just a few casual words of guidance, he helped someone break through to Jade Clarity Level 7? Could it be...
That monstrously talented genius had really broken through to the Upper Clarity Realm?
Beneath the stage.
Lu Xueqi was expressionless.
But in her heart, she was somewhat surprised...
Was he only giving Su Yi pointers because of me?
Lu Xueqi pondered this.
