NOVEL NEXT Chapter 308 Persuasion and Education_2
The battle was close-quarters combat. The two had sparred not long ago, with comparable strength, but today from the get-go, Xia Hailu discovered that she could actually gain the upper hand?
As the fight unfolded, the more they fought, the more alarmed her adversary became, Xia Hailu felt her swordsmanship had ascended to a new level.
As for the reason, of course, she wouldn't say anything. She just mentioned that she had a bit of an exchange with Meng Yu last night and felt it was quite alright, and so on.
Although she was quite upset being beaten up by Meng Yu, the injured places felt somewhat peculiar, after all... such a sensation was too novel.
She had never been beaten like this before!
"Immortal Xia, what exactly is going on with his Blood Transmutation Divine Saber?"
The speaker was another female Golden Core, standing beside her. Unlike Xia Hailu's glamorous and tempting appearance, this Golden Core was serene and gentle, speaking in a tender and delicate voice, embodying the grace and elegance of tea under the afternoon sun, pleasing to the spirit.
But it was just green tea.
She was affiliated with a certain organization, similar to a deputy director of the Scripture Pavilion department. After hearing about Meng Yu wielding the Blood Transmutation Divine Saber yesterday, she came over first thing to visit Meng Yu and learn more about the situation.
The reason a female Golden Core came for the visit was simple. If the honored guest was male, a female Golden Core would receive him. If the guest was female, then... a woman would also handle the reception. In social interactions, these seemingly gentle and virtuous White Bone Demons were much better than Xia Hailu; they always led with tea.
"Are you asking if that person possesses a simple and easy-to-learn method that allows the Blood Transmutation Divine Saber to be easily mastered?"
Xia Hailu said with a hint of scorn.
"Yes, this would be of great significance to the Sect. Immortal Xia, have you spoken to him? Has he revealed anything?"
Hehe, hehe, trying to freeload?
But at this moment, Xia Hailu suddenly saw the light.

Why was that bastard Xiao Jun so terrible to her!
After taking a severe beating, in fact, several beatings, she was full of anger and discomfort. I took the initiative to help, and this is how you treat me?
However, at this moment, she finally understood. Xiao Jun was not just bad; he was extraordinarily rotten!
She absolutely, absolutely could not let Xiao Jun ruin her life!
"Sister Shi, I showed him a move or two yesterday, but he's secretive and didn't let me say anything. How about I accompany you this morning to talk to him again?
The Sect does need the Blood Transmutation Divine Saber, and I'm happy to help."
She finally got it. Xiao Jun mentioned he was good at assassination sword play, which meant plainly and simply coming close to you and stabbing you to death with one sword thrust.
Without any frills, strategy, preparation, or a heart-wrenching story. Xiao Jun could casually approach any Foundation Establishment expert and simply, easily stab them to death, and even if it was a Golden Core...
She remembered clearly the bored demeanor of that person. Are Golden Cores tasty, can you eat them, what's it like to eat them!
"Ah, Sister Xia, thank you."
The demure Golden Core in front of her, with a conniving and yet rule-breaking bosom, had an indescribable charm.
"Ah, thank you, thank you!"
She was a bit puzzled, her relationship with Xia Hailu was not good at all, in fact, there were many unsavory aspects, so why was she so enthusiastic, was there some scheme?
However, she glanced over at Meng Yu's courtyard, unconvinced that anything unexpected could happen here. This was the Blood God Sect, and as wild as Xia Hailu might be, she wouldn't join forces with Xiao Jun. And...
"Well then, I'll join you in having a chat with him."
After saying that, she gave an apologetic expression to a few other pretty False Core or Golden Core Masters behind her.
Golden Cores aren't such common cabbages that you can find a bunch of them anytime. It's just that a celebration of thirty thousand years of the Blood God Sect coincided with yesterday's Blood Transmutation Divine Saber event, and so today was this lively. Everyone came to see, lest they miss out on a chance to partake.
"Please, everyone, come one by one, line up, don't rush. We wouldn't want to scare our host."
Xia Hailu said with a smile, yet inside she was frantic, fearing that if others got there first, her lifetime would be destroyed.
...
Meng Yu was receiving the first visitors of the morning, Xia Hailu and a female Golden Core of the Blood God Sect.
The beautiful older sister secured the first spot because she brought with her the sword confiscated by customs from Meng Yu, along with two Magical Treasures.
"Thank you, thank you so much."
Meng Yu received the equipment and seemed very happy. After a bit of small talk, Shi Jindan tactfully asked Meng Yu, "How did you master the Blood Transmutation Divine Saber? Do you have any tips? The Blood God Sect is in great need of this technique. You can make any demands..." She continued, "Take your time to answer, but this matter is very important to us."
The beautiful White Bone Demon spoke differently from professors like Xia Hailu who came from academies. She was seductive, her eyes like silk and filled with tenderness, her ample chest quivering as if brimming with anticipation.
Such methods could soften even the hardest of hearts, but Xia Hailu calmly sipped her tea, reflecting on everything that had happened the day before.
Meng Yu struck once, twice, thrice in a relentless barrage, beating the opponent mercilessly and then looking as if it was for their own good.
Only now did she understand why Xiao Jun had beaten her. This beast hadn't just beaten her but also recorded it, preparing to show it to others, to solve the problems with the Blood Transmutation Divine Saber.
If everyone saw it, they would understand that he could master the Blood Transmutation Divine Saber only because he was a genius, while she, Xia Hailu, would become a laughingstock. The video of her getting beaten would spread far and wide, perhaps becoming educational material for a century.
Clean and exhilarating, the way you beat them. Any of you at the Foundation Establishment stage who can easily defeat a Golden Core can also master the Blood Transmutation Divine Saber.
She had speculated, but when she entered, begging Xiao Jun to not reveal the events of the previous day, saying "Please, I'll do my best to cooperate with you," and then that scoundrel actually felt it wasn't worth the effort, too troublesome.
Could such a beast be tempted and softened by the White Bone Demon?
"Actually, there isn't any special trick. It's just that I'm a genius, I guess. Mastering the Blood Transmutation Divine Saber was quite easy for me. To be more specific, my cold weapon skills have reached the Great Trinity."
Meng Yu spoke earnestly, while the White Bone Demon complimented him, flattering him by going with the flow. However, she was clearly skeptical, thinking that Meng Yu was making excuses.
Xia Hailu continued to drink her tea and then, when the White Bone Demon sincerely asked to experience the Blood Transmutation Divine Saber, Xia Hailu took out a Memory Stone.
"We agreed, swords only. No Magical Treasures, Spells, Curses, or any other messy techniques, how about that?"
"Alright."
The White Bone Demon agreed, while Xia Hailu quietly hid the Memory Stone in her sleeve.
"I won't take advantage of you. I'm a Golden Core, but I will suppress my Cultivation to the Qi Refinement Seventh Layer."
The White Bone Demon confidently said the same words, full of self-assurance and a heroic air. At that moment, she had the pride of a Golden Core.
"Slap."
Meng Yu struck her cheek with a Wooden Sword, reducing her arrogance by thirty percent.
"Eighth Layer..."
"Slap!"
Another hit to the face, Meng Yu showed no mercy, turning her arrogance into rage.
"Great Perfection!"
"Slap slap slap..."
This time, Xia Hailu, who was watching, had to admit that Meng Yu, the freak, was utterly ruthless when beating someone. That beautiful face, that firm chest, and those round curves were all his targets!
With each hit showing no mercy, the White Bone Demon cried out—not in pain, but in anger!
"I'm going to fight you with all I've got!"
"Slap slap slap, slap slap slap!"
An hour later, the fight ended.
"Sister Shi, this is the secret to my mastery of the Blood Transmutation Divine Saber. If your saber skills reach the level of mine, you can quickly master the Blood Transmutation Divine Saber. Isn't it not difficult?"
Xiao Jun spoke politely and calmly to the White Bone Demon, who had been beaten to the point of questioning her life.
Although she had only used swordsmanship and fought at close range without Spells or Magical Treasures, why had she been beaten so mercilessly?
For a Golden Core with a strong will, being defeated so easily by someone in the Foundation Establishment stage went completely against all reason!
"Xiao Jun, did you record it?"
Suddenly, the White Bone Demon asked, her face flushing red!
