I alone am the Honoured One! - Chapter 623

Chapter 623: New teacher [3]
Looking at their shocked faces, Zhao Tian nodded his head “Yeah, just a few days ago… I turned 22.”

Huh?

(〇_〇;)

(;° ⌓°)

Both of them looked at him dumbfounded as they stood there, and they couldn’t comprehend how a 22 year old can reach the 1st level of Heavenly tribulation this quickly.

Zhao Tian smiled dryly looking at their faces ‘Well, that’s to be expecteed.’

Yan Zijin let out a sigh and her gaze narrowed ‘Anyone can lie about their age, but no once can lie about their bone age.. so he really is…’

Rui Lian blinked her eyes, snapping out of her shock “And… Tian, you were in Middle Star till now and with the minimal astral energy from there, you reached this level in 22 years?”

-_- 22 years? Zhao Tian smiled dryly, as it had been only like a year since he started cultivating.

Yan Zijin let go of his hand and let out a sigh “This is crazy… how did you even cultivate this quickly?”

Looking at them, Zhao Tian just smiled “I just cultivated normally like others.”

Yan Zijin’s gaze squinted in thought “You are really the Heaven sent child as they say. If your age is 22, that means you must have at least started to cultivate from age 10.”

“It is impossible, as it takes at least a hundred years to reach this stage.”

Rui Lian muttered “Tian, the last time I came to your star, you were still in Monarch Astral Stage, right?”

“And it has been like 8 months since then, and you reached this level in 8… months?”

-_-

Yan Zijin and Rui Lian stood there utterly dumbfounded as they realized that it only took him 8 months to cross five stages in the Empyrean Realm.

“Haa…” Yan Zijin let out a sigh as she clutched her temple, letting the shock subside.

‘I think no one in history has ever done it. What kind of creature is standing beside me.?’

Yan Zijin gestured to Rui Lian “Lian’er, you go and cultivate.. I will take this creature with me to train.”

Rui Lian nodded her head and walked away from there to a nearby room to cultivate.

‘Creature?’ Zhao Tian just sighed in his heart.

Standing at the center of the training ground, Yan Zijin looked at him “Strip.”

Eh?

Zhao Tian was taken aback, and Yan Zijin spoke “I mean remove your upper robes.”

Without hesitation, Zhao Tian began to remove his clothes, showing him her muscles.

The sunlight streaming through the training ground’s canopy accentuated the sharp lines of his muscles, casting shadows over his chiseled chest and arms.

Yan Zijin was not that surprised, as she had anticipated his physique to be impressive, given the sheer power he had displayed during his tribulation, but seeing it up close was another matter.

Her gaze swept over his chest and shoulders, taking in the subtle movements of his muscles as he adjusted his stance.

“You’re still very young,” she commented, her voice softening slightly as she took a step closer to him.

Yan Zijin reached out, her fingers brushing against his shoulder.

Her touch was light at first, almost testing the resilience of his skin.

As her fingers pressed into the muscle, she nodded approvingly. “At just twenty-two years old, most would still be struggling to break into the Transient Realm, let alone survive eight degrees of a Heavenly Tribulation. Yet here you are.”

Her hand slid across his shoulder to his upper arm, where she gripped firmly, testing the strength of his bicep. “Good.”

“Your body is not only strong but well-balanced. There’s no excess bulk, no unnecessary weight. It’s rare to see such precision in one so young.”

Yan Zijin’s hand lingered over his chest, her fingers tracing the contours of his pectoral muscles. “Your core strength is remarkable. It’s no wonder you’ve managed to endure so much.”

Her fingers moved to his abdomen, lightly pressing against the ridges of his defined abs. “Even here,” she said, almost to herself,

“…the conditioning is perfect. It’s not just about appearance… this is the body of someone who understands the importance of functionality. Every muscle serves a purpose.”

“Your body is like… perfection. But still, it can be improved.”

“Hmm… I expected your skin to be rigid, but it’s surprisingly soft.”

Unconsciously, her touch grew softer, almost a caress, as her fingers trailed along the lines of his torso.

‘Men’s physique is really different from a woman’s body… even though this is the first time I am touching and assessing a man’s body, I can tell he has honed his physique.’

The realization of what she was doing struck her suddenly, and she froze.

‘Am I being too touchy?’

She raised her gaze to look at him and saw that he was not bothered by it, so she continued inspecting him.

A few breaths later, she retracted her hand and nodded her head in satisfaction “Your physique is really great… what body cultivation technique are you using?”

Eh? My Honoured One’s cultivation Technique?

With a faint cough, he replied “It is an Epic Grade cultivation technique.”

Yan Zijin nodded her head “I see…”

Noticing his hesitation, Yan Zijin already understood that he is hesitant to talk about his cultivation technique “It seems like you have a great cultivation technique already, keep using that.”

“I shall hone your fighting techniques. Do you like using any weapons?”

Hearing this, Zhao Tian tilted his head “Well, I have tried using a sword and honed the sword intent.”

Huh? Yan Zijin’s gaze squinted “You have already comprehended sword intent?”

Zhao Tian nodded his head “Hm, yeah.”

Yan Zijin turned around and walked to the weapons on the side.

Taking a sword in her hand, she tossed it to him “Show me…”

Catching the sword, Zhao Tian did an elegant swing and as he concentrated, a sharp aura oozed out of his body.

Feeling the sharp aura, Yan Zijin’s gaze quivered ‘He has really stepped into the realm of swords… at this young age?’

Tilting her head, she asked “If you can comprehend sword instant, then it means you really love using swords, huh…”

Zhao Tian shook his head “Not much; I mostly like to fight barehanded.”

-_- Yan Zijin looked at him blankly ‘You damn creature… do you know how many people are struggling daily to feel a faint aura of sword energy?’

‘Seems like I can’t assess him with usual norms after all.’

“I see, do you have any fighting styles or just throwing kicks and punches?”

Zhao Tian shook his head “Just punches and kicks.”

Hearing this, Yan Zijin nodded thoughtfully ‘So he power pushed through cultivation….’
