Chapter 19: This Transformation Is Too Fast:
The Heavenly Demon Physique—Xu Ze knew exactly what it was.
As one of the rarest physiques in the cultivation realm, finding a cultivator with this physique and defeating him was like finding a needle in a haystack.
Moreover, the time for the random task was only three days.
Three days to find someone with the Heavenly Demon Physique in the entire world? Impossible.
However, the reward for the first random task was indeed tempting. So, Xu Ze found it hard to give up on this task.
He glanced at Xiao Lan.
Xiao Lan seemed to sense Xu Ze’s gaze and looked up at him. "What’s the matter, Holy Son? Is Xiao Lan’s technique not good?"
"Uh, no... it’s just... I wanted to ask you something..."
Xiao Lan nodded. "Please, go ahead."
"Do you think... I mean, is it possible... that you could be a hidden expert with the Heavenly Demon Physique?"
Xiao Lan stared at Xu Ze in astonishment.
"Holy Son, are you too tired? You’re talking nonsense."
"Uh..."
Xu Ze knew this would be the reaction.
The Heavenly Demon Physique wasn’t something common, like cabbages, that would just appear in front of him.
So, did this mean he had to give up?
...
The next day.
Xu Ze walked along the road, frowning.
He was reluctant to give up the task.
In desperation, he decided to go to Leng Youran's room to ask about the Heavenly Demon Physique.
With Leng Youran's influence in the world, she should easily find someone related to the Heavenly Demon Physique.
As he was thinking, he heard a noisy voice.
"Here she comes, Junior Sister Gu is here."
"So cute, no matter how you look at her, Junior Sister Gu is adorable..."
Hmm?
Junior Sister Gu?
Xu Ze looked up and saw several lecherous male disciples hiding in the bushes, peeking at something outside.
"Although the junior sisters around her are also cute, compared to Junior Sister Gu, they are like fireflies next to the moon."
"So cute and not dating. Even though she says she likes someone, it's probably just an excuse to fend off those unworthy suitors."
"Hehe, Junior Sister Gu is the best."
Hearing these voices, Xu Ze walked up to them expressionlessly and stood behind them.
"What are you doing here instead of attending classes?"
"Ah!"
The male disciples quickly turned around and, upon seeing Xu Ze, turned pale and almost wet their pants.
"Holy, Holy Son!"
"S-sorry, Holy Son, we didn’t mean to skip class!"
"Please forgive us, Holy Son! We know we were wrong!"
Watching them bowing their heads repeatedly, Xu Ze raised an eyebrow and looked in the direction they were peeping.
On the other side of the bushes, Elder Nalan was leading dozens of female disciples in sword practice.
Among them was a girl practicing with a sword, who looked very familiar to Xu Ze.
The girl’s sword movements were smooth and swift.
Each strike seemed to carry a faint resonance of sword intent.
As she practiced, her dress fluttered in the wind created by her sword movements, revealing her long, snow-white legs, which were very eye-catching.
After finishing the last sword move, the girl stopped and stood straight.
With a flick of her sword, she elegantly sheathed it and bowed to Elder Nalan.
"Excellent! Ling’er, you have completely mastered this set of Falling Rain Sword Techniques after only practicing it once. Such talent is truly astonishing."
Elder Nalan was extremely pleased.
Having such a talented disciple under her care meant she could take pride in front of the sect master.
"Impressive, Junior Sister Gu."
"I'm so envious of Junior Sister Gu. She's beautiful, has great legs, and such high talent."
"Ah~ Why is the heavens so biased towards one person? It's not fair at all."
As Gu Ling’er returned to the line, the female disciples immediately surrounded her, looking at her with envy.
Gu Ling’er wore a warm, adorable smile and waved shyly. "No, no, Senior Sisters are excellent too. Ling’er is nothing compared to you."
"Ah~ Ling’er is so cute when she smiles!"
"How can a girl smile so adorably!"
Several female disciples, overcome with affection, hugged Gu Ling’er like she was a cute doll, squealing with delight.
...
Seeing how easily Gu Ling’er blended in with the female disciples, Xu Ze was slightly surprised.
He had thought Gu Ling’er’s personality would make it hard for her to get along with them.
But now, not only did she fit in well, but... maybe a bit too well?
Was this really the Gu Ling’er he knew?
Xu Ze scratched his head, finding it hard to compare the girl in front of him with the timid one in his memory.
"Too strange... This is just too strange."
"Can a person really change so quickly?"
As one of the rarest physiques in the cultivation realm, finding a cultivator with this physique and defeating him was like finding a needle in a haystack.
