The Cultivation Method of Junior Sister is Unscientific

Elder Sword gradually began to doubt his own judgment.

Nearly half the time had passed, yet Yun Jin was still swinging her sword.

Today wasn’t a sword competition; it was a test of planting techniques.

Ye Cheng had been working diligently without pause, and even now, he had tilled less than half the land. It was clear that the two-hour time limit had been set based on Ye Cheng’s abilities.

Ye Cheng’s Earth Control Technique was already at level three, and he still had to race against time to finish within two hours.

As for Yun Jin?

At most, she had only possessed the manual for ten days.

Even if she had grasped the basics on the first day, how could she possibly surpass level three in just ten days?

It seemed impossible no matter how one looked at it.

So.

Was this competition truly Yun Jin’s way of conceding?

Elder Sword continued to watch.

He still didn’t want to believe it, but it seemed he had no choice but to accept it.

Everyone’s attention was focused here.

Since joining Tianxing Sect, Yun Jin had created many miracles. She had become synonymous with the extraordinary.

But no matter what, she couldn’t be omnipotent.

It seemed that after this event, the symbol of miracles would fall from grace.

Many people even felt a sense of defeat.

If even Yun Jin had yielded…

Then naturally, they could do even less.

Tianxing Sect was indeed a stagnant pond.

Ma Hongyu calmly glanced at Yun Jin, his expression indifferent.

He had anticipated this scene long ago.

A sword cultivator couldn’t possibly master planting techniques.

Sword cultivation demanded sharpness and aggression, while planting techniques required gentleness and harmony.

How could these two conflicting qualities coexist in one person?

Perhaps they wouldn’t even need a second round; this first trial would be enough to determine the outcome.

Ma Hongyu reminded them coolly, “Half the time has passed. Please hurry.”

Hearing this, Ye Cheng grew even more focused.

Yun Jin heard it and sighed again.

How was there still an hour left?

Fine, she’d continue practicing her sword technique!

At least she could gain some proficiency.

The incense burned slowly, finally leaving only a quarter-hour remaining.

Yun Jin glanced at it.

She had finally endured!

The time was almost up!

During these two hours, she had unexpectedly accumulated quite a bit of emotional value.

Yun Jin guessed that most of it was negative emotional value.

Things like disappointment and such.

But as long as it was emotional value, she’d take it all.

Now.

Showtime!

Yun Jin stretched lazily and said calmly, “Hmm, only a quarter-hour left. If I don’t start now, it’ll be too late.”

Ma Hongyu almost laughed out loud.

She spoke as if starting now would be enough!

Even he, a fifth-rank cultivator, wouldn’t dare claim he could thoroughly till such a large spirit field in just a quarter-hour!

Zhao Wuji treated it as watching a clown show, leisurely pouring himself a cup of tea and sipping it.

Yun Jin put her sword back in her storage bag, then slightly raised her hand, making an initial pose.

Disciples who knew Earth Control Technique immediately recognized it.

“That’s the starting pose for Earth Control!”

“What’s the use of starting now? It’s impossible to finish in time!”

“Besides, how could a sword cultivator learn planting techniques? It’s probably just for show.”

Amidst the crowd’s discussions, spiritual energy began to gather.

Everyone was stunned.

Huh?

So Yun Jin had actually grasped the basics?

Even if she had, it should only be at the lowest level. Compared to Ye Cheng, it was still…

As they were thinking this.

The next moment.

Spiritual energy fluctuated.

“Earth Control Technique!” Yun Jin suddenly shouted.

Then.

A rumbling sound erupted.

This half of the spirit field began to shake up and down as if an earthen dragon was turning over. Even the ground beneath their feet started to tremble!

What the hell?

Earth Control Technique?

This must be an illusion!

Look at Ye Cheng’s Earth Control Technique!

Carefully tilling small areas bit by bit, that’s what Earth Control should be!

This… this is more like an earthquake technique!

Yun Jin felt it wasn’t enough.

She increased her efforts.

She kept shouting, “Earth Control, rise!”

“Ultimate secret of Earth Control!”

“Super secret technique of Earth Control!”

Si Wanning couldn’t help but rub her forehead.

She had told Yun Jin that she didn’t need to shout the names!

But clearly, she hadn’t accepted this advice.

Amid Yun Jin’s stream of chuunibyou-like proclamations, the spirit field rolled up and down as if a giant dragon were taking flight.

The crowd, which had been buzzing with discussion moments ago, suddenly fell silent.

And the silence was profound.

Ye Cheng was busy controlling the earth when suddenly, he felt something was off.

Was the ground beneath his feet shaking?

Huh?

Was he imagining things?

He looked at Ma Hongyu, who was staring blankly in Yun Jin’s direction, his lips trembling, unable to utter a word.

Ye Cheng’s heart tightened. What… what had happened?

He glanced at Zhao Wuji, who was glaring intently at Yun Jin, his face no longer composed. He looked as if he wanted to devour Yun Jin whole!

Ye Cheng panicked even more!

What on earth had Yun Jin done?

He couldn’t see anything happening on the other side.

Ye Cheng forced himself to calm down and fully concentrate on tilling.

But.

He remained uneasy.

When the two hours were up, he still had a small patch of land left untilled.

Ye Cheng wiped the sweat from his brow.

Continuously using Earth Control Technique was a test of endurance, mental strength, and spiritual energy.

He had done his best.

As for Yun Jin’s side, he had no idea what the situation was…

He couldn’t help but look over, but all he saw was a tall wall.

It seemed he wouldn’t know the final result until it was revealed.

Yun Jin steadily came to a stop just as the incense burned out.

Her plot of land, after repeated tumbling, had become as loose as it could possibly be, perfect for growing Soul-Calming Fruit.

Yun Jin dusted off her hands, her expression calm. “Perfect timing.”

Elder Sword, seeing Yun Jin’s nonchalant demeanor, couldn’t help but smile.

This girl was indeed the same one who had declared her intention to walk an undefeated path on the arena stage.

Everyone thought she was deliberately trying to lose this competition.

But from the looks of it, she had come fully prepared!

“Uncle Ma, can we start the second round?” Yun Jin urged. “It’s almost dark, and I’m eager to eat. Can we shorten the time for the next round? If every round takes this long, I’ll be very bored.”

Ma Hongyu’s face turned extremely unpleasant.

Planting was a delicate task.

How could it be rushed?

Zhao Wuji’s cold voice resonated in his mind.

“Ma Hongyu, didn’t you say she couldn’t possibly learn planting techniques? Didn’t you say Ye Cheng would definitely win?”

Judging by the first round alone, Ye Cheng had already lost!

Ma Hongyu wiped his cold sweat and hurriedly transmitted his thoughts back, “Sect Leader, please don’t worry! This is only the first round! I’ve heard she’s favored by Elder Ming, who must have given her an improved version of the Earth Control Technique, hence its power. But even Elder Ming couldn’t have modified the other two techniques, could he? Among Ye Cheng’s three spirit roots, his water root is the strongest, and Minor Cloud Rain Technique is his best skill. The second round will be enough to turn the tables.”

“It had better be, otherwise…” Zhao Wuji’s gloomy voice trailed off, fading into nothingness.

Ma Hongyu’s heart was in suspense.

He took a deep breath and announced, “Now, let’s begin the second round.”
