MTL NOVEL Chapter 10
Chapter 10: Master’s Reward: Strip!
As soon as these words came out, everyone around couldn’t help but sigh.
Although Tang Qi was arrogant, one had to admit that he indeed had the capital to be so.
At just fifteen or sixteen years old, he had already reached the level of a fifth-grade alchemist, which was an explosive presence in the entire alchemy world.
Moreover, there were already rumors that this person had a clear understanding and was capable of comprehending everything; since he had such a high realm in alchemy, what about other aspects?
This made many people gasp in shock, unable to help but secretly be amazed.
Perhaps, this Tang Qi could truly surpass Zhou Tong.
Seemingly sensing everyone’s thoughts, Mo Liushu finally revealed a hint of a smile.
She would let everyone know that Zhou Tong was insignificant in her eyes.
Dumping Zhou Tong was as casual as tossing away a sesame seed.
As long as she was willing, she could easily teach out a second Zhou Tong, even stronger than him.
With this thought in mind, she made up her mind to personally cultivate Tang Qi and turn him into a figure of great attention.
By then, Zhou Tong would know that his pride and persistence were utterly insignificant!
“Tang Qi, hear my command!”
Mo Liushu said.
“Disciple is present!”
“From today onwards, I officially accept you as my direct disciple. All resources within the sect can be freely accessed by you, as long as they do not involve secrets!
Whenever you have doubts in your cultivation, you may consult any elder; I hope you won’t disappoint my efforts.”
As these words fell, everyone trembled slightly.
They all understood that Mo Liushu was determined to support Tang Qi and abandon Zhou Tong.
“Great! With this, our junior brother will surely advance rapidly and leave that trash far behind.”
Jiang Yuyao and others rejoiced, unable to contain their cheers.
“Boom!”
At that moment, a voice of supreme authority reverberated through heaven and earth.
Everyone was shocked and looked towards the direction of the thunder that had erupted.
They saw a bolt of lightning, like the spear of a celestial being, tearing through the sky and rushing down.
At the same time, the earth erupted in flames, surging upward as if a divine tree were growing against the wind, shooting up into the clouds.
Thunder and fire clashed, roaring loudly, instantly igniting everything and bursting out with brilliant light!
However, this magnificent scene lasted less than a breath’s time before vanishing, as if nothing had happened.
“Was that… Heavenly Thunder and Earth Fire?”
Someone gulped and said uncertainly.
“It seems so… but also doesn’t seem like it. Heavenly Thunder and Earth Fire are celestial phenomena; it shouldn’t end so quickly.”
“That direction seems to be Red Dust Mountain, the location of the Joyful Union Sect…”
Someone suddenly said, like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly creating ripples.
“Hiss… No way? When Heavenly Thunder and Earth Fire appear, a rare treasure must emerge. Could it be that a seventh-grade pill has been born?”
“Everyone is overreacting; that was indeed Heavenly Thunder and Earth Fire, but it was a failed alchemy attempt!”
Tang Qi smiled, drawing everyone’s attention.
“Sigh, there are always those who aim too high; this is the consequence. I didn’t expect Senior Brother to make such a basic mistake too.”
“Are you saying that Zhou Tong forcibly attempted alchemy and failed?”
“Exactly! Not only did he fail, but he also suffered a backlash from the Heavenly Dao!”
Tang Qi said with certainty, his heart filled with disdain: “With such a level, he dares to compete with me? I may have thought too highly of you in the past!”
“What a pity, clearly a top genius yet defeated by his own heart; it’s truly lamentable!” someone murmured.
“That’s what he deserves, a nobody who thought he could compare with our junior brother; he should weigh his own worth, this is his just deserts!”
Ge Hongqiu said sharply, leading many to nod in agreement.
Red Dust Mountain, Joyful Union Sect…
Mu Ran Ya’s one hand sparkled, holding the exquisite Bodhi Pill, while the other gently lowered.
Just a moment ago, this woman had shattered the heavenly tribulation with a single palm, forcibly extinguishing it and stopping the turmoil.
This fighting power even surprised Zhou Tong; this woman might really have the strength to sweep through the hundred sects at her peak.
“Master, quickly take it!”
Little Demoness urged from the side, her eyes full of expectation.
Mu Ran Ya nodded lightly, her lips parted slightly as she elegantly placed the pill into her mouth.
In an instant, an incredibly harmonious wave emanated from her body, a gentle and kind aura that seemed to erase all hostility, specifically targeting the heart demon.
After ten breaths, everything returned to calm, and Mu Ran Ya slowly opened her eyes.
“How do you feel?”
“The heart demon has been suppressed by more than half, but the injuries from the Dao still need to be regulated gradually. I’m already at two-tenths of my peak standard!”
Hearing this, Zhou Tong’s pupils slightly contracted.
If it were an ordinary heart demon, having taken the pill he personally refined would have long resolved the issue.
“No problem. As long as I’m here to assist in regulation, within half a year, the heart demon can dissipate, and the Dao injuries can be cured!”
Zhou Tong said confidently. Before his voice fell, a waft of fragrant wind passed by; Mu Ran Ya had moved and quickly embraced Zhou Tong.
“Uh…”
Zhou Tong, caught off guard, found his face buried in a soft, warm embrace.
“That ugly woman from Jade Purity Sect is blind; she would not want such a treasure, leaving it to me instead. However, I have nothing to use as a meeting gift, so I can only use this hug as a reward!”
This voice lingered in Zhou Tong’s ear, lingering and amorous, stirring his soul. If not for Zhou Tong’s unparalleled spiritual power, he might have been captivated and lost himself.
“Please let go; I can’t breathe…”
After a great effort, he finally broke free, only to see Mu Ran Ya smiling brightly, one hand pressed to her chest, still lingering with Zhou Tong’s warmth.
“Your will is indeed resilient. You’re qualified; you can learn the Joyful Harmony Celestial Skill.”
Hearing this, Zhou Tong felt as though struck by lightning.
“No, no, no…”
He hurriedly refused; he harbored countless ultimate skills in his heart and was not interested in the Dao of Yin-Yang union.
“Come here!”
The other party smiled like a spirit fox and grabbed Zhou Tong.
It was hard to imagine that the shy Mu Ran Ya just moments ago seemed to have transformed into a different person, exuding an aggressive charm.
Indeed, the heart demon had suppressed her true nature!
“To enter my sect, you must accept my ultimate skill; there’s no escaping this.”
Before he could struggle, a slender finger pointed at his forehead, and in the next moment, four large characters appeared in his mind.
“Joyful Harmony Celestial Skill!”
“What is Joyful Harmony?”
The answer came: “Combine the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, rejoice in the hearts of all beings throughout the ages; this is the Dao of Joyful Harmony!”
Just a few words made Zhou Tong’s body tremble violently. Was his understanding of Joyful Harmony always wrong?
“Master, I’ve thought it through; I want to learn the Joyful Harmony Celestial Skill.”
“That’s right!”
Mu Ran Ya’s smile became even more radiant, her gaze full of tenderness, making Zhou Tong feel like melting away.
“The first step to practice is to strip!”
“Strip what?” Zhou Tong was momentarily stunned.
“What else? Of course, your clothes. The first layer of the Celestial Skill is about the art in the room. Don’t you know that?”
Zhou Tong was once again petrified!
