Chapter 51: Chapter 51: This Woman Will Surely Become a 1st Grade Great Innate

Chen Sha walked out the door.

Song Yu didn’t bother explaining, simply grabbing Chen Sha’s sleeve. "You have to come with me to the woods behind the rear hall. This girl is too much of a demon!"

The two of them walked the short distance to the rear hall. This was the courtyard where the Mountain Sect Members of Dao Yi Mountain rested, and beyond the courtyard lay the woods of the back mountain.

As soon as they entered the woods, they saw three figures in the distance, accompanied by shouts and the sound of palms striking trees.

A dozen or so Elders were already standing there, all of them looking ahead with excited expressions.

When they saw Chen Sha arrive, they all came over.

An Elder said excitedly:

"Sect Leader, you’re here! Dao Yi Mountain has really found a treasure this time. In all my years, the only other person I’ve seen like this was the little master-uncle!"

With that, he gestured for Chen Sha to look ahead.

Chen Sha said nothing, merely raising his eyes to look.

Straight ahead was the plainly dressed, sword-bearing youth, Qii Zhengyi. He had already stripped the bark from a section of a tree, revealing the smooth trunk underneath.

Chen Sha could tell with a single glance that the youth had not yet touched upon the Dharma Sect, and all his efforts were for naught.

But at this moment, Qii Zhengyi was not practicing his palm strikes. He stood by the tree with his hands clasped, his mouth agape as he watched a scene not far away. "Miss Lin... is so strong."

It was the brother and sister from the Lin Family.

In the woods, Lin Baibai was already black and blue. Every time he launched an attack, he would be hit by one of Lin Qingqing’s deceptively soft-looking punches, letting out a pig-like squeal.

"Lin Qingqing, that’s enough! Stop hitting me, I’m your brother!"

"Again, again!" The girl ignored him completely, shouting happily, "How could I improve so quickly without you as my sparring partner?"

With that, she threw another punch.

Everyone saw it. As she punched, the air rippled like the surface of water, making a "SPLASH" sound.

Not only that, but Lin Qingqing’s every move, from the lift of her hands to the placement of her feet, carried a sense of profound emptiness.

Seeing this, Chen Sha’s gaze finally turned serious.

’In a single day, she’s developed Punching Force and even grasped Fist Intent... This...’

What was most unbelievable was that her glances and her steps carried an innate Sword Intent, as if she were a Human Form Treasure Sword throwing a punch.

Instantly, Chen Sha understood why Sword Crown Wuu Liusheng valued this girl so highly, why he praised her talent to the heavens, and why he was so reluctant to let this Sword Path prodigy leave him.

This girl was practically an Innate Sword Embryo!

Not only that, but in a single day, she had learned and fully mastered the first stance of the Void Clarity Fist, "Empty House Resident," producing both Punching Force and Fist Intent...

’Learns it in one go, masters it with a single practice... Another one just like little master-uncle.’

Chen Sha sighed in amazement.

"The world is truly not lacking in geniuses."

To master the Void Clarity Fist in a single day.

This speed of cultivating Martial Arts was exactly the same as little master-uncle’s.

His father, Chen Canxuan, was the same way. It was said he could learn any Martial Arts instantly, master it with practice, and even extrapolate from it, which was why he was known for his ’threefold mastery’.

This young lady, Lin Qingqing, was the same kind of person. A true demon.

Song Yu’s voice was full of excitement. "With such natural-born talent, if we just give her a First-Grade Martial Scripture like the Great Yellow Court, her cultivation will be completely smooth. As long as we give her time, she will enter the First Grade Great Innate Realm without any hindrance."

No wonder he was so excited. A large portion of the Elders on the mountain had heard the commotion and rushed over, all to watch the girl who was using her own brother as a wooden training dummy to practice her force.

A girl who was destined to step into the First-Grade Great Innate Realm.

What Sect wouldn’t be thrilled, wouldn’t have their heart pound at such a prospect?

But unlike the Elders, whose eyes were shining as if they had already come to treasure Lin Qingqing like a golden goose...

Chen Sha, however, stood with his hands behind his back and said, "Her talent is indeed rare, but her Heart Nature and character must be tested further before we can determine if she is suitable to join our Dao Yi Sect."

Hearing this, Song Yu hesitated. "Talent can be seen through cultivation, but Heart Nature and character... how do you test that?"

Chen Sha smiled faintly. "I’ve already made preparations."

The Elders all looked at Chen Sha.

He said slowly, "A person’s character is shown in their actions. To judge someone’s Heart Nature and character, you must see how they do things. Different people will handle the same matter in different ways. Different methods reveal different personalities."

Song Yu still didn’t quite understand.

Chen Sha said, "Wait for the one-month period to end. If they all pass the talent test, I will first take them on as Named Disciples under my name."

Song Yu quickly asked, "And then?"

Chen Sha said, "And then I’ll have them go down the mountain and venture into the Jianghu." 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ

"What? You’re only going to teach them a few moves and then send them out into the Jianghu?"

Song Yu’s face fell in alarm. He looked at the three in the woods and said:

"The other two are one thing, but Lin Qingqing’s talent is a rarity in this world. If anything were to happen to her down the mountain, we would regret it for the rest of our lives."

But Chen Sha would not be swayed from his plan. "Without experiencing the world, you cannot see a person’s true self. When I take a disciple, although I value talent the most, I will absolutely not accept a petty person. And these aspects of their character will only be revealed when they interact with the people of the Jianghu."

A gentleman can endure hardship, but a petty man will transgress when faced with it.

Chen Sha didn’t expect every disciple to have the character of a Saint with lofty morals; even he couldn’t achieve that.

He only required that they not be petty people and that they not cause trouble. That was enough.

Song Yu asked nervously, "Then how long do you plan to have them venture down the mountain before they can return?"

Chen Sha said casually, "Half a year to a year should be enough."

"Half a year to a year? What if something goes wrong..." Song Yu said anxiously.

After their master passed away, Song Yu was arguably the person who most wanted Dao Yi Mountain to regain its former status in the Jianghu. Now, Chen Sha had given him hope, and he had encountered a genius disciple like Lin Qingqing. If there were no accidents, in ten or twenty years, Dao Yi Mountain would once again shake the world of Martial Arts. There was no question about it.

But from his perspective, Chen Sha didn’t seem to have any intention of treasuring this genius disciple. A teenage girl who had only learned a move or two of the Void Clarity Fist was at the level of a second- or third-rate practitioner. Being a girl, she was especially vulnerable.

Chen Sha rubbed his chin. "Originally, if I could go down the mountain, I could follow them in secret and judge their actions and character. But as you know, with little master-uncle watching me now, unless I can defeat him, there is absolutely no possibility of me leaving the mountain."

Song Yu gritted his teeth. "Fine, then. When the time comes, I’ll follow the child in secret and protect her."

Chen Sha raised an eyebrow. "If you follow her, I’m afraid you’ll end up taking care of her every need, down to her food and clothing. What kind of test would that be?"

Song Yu raised his head defiantly. "I’ll just follow her quietly. Unless she’s in mortal danger, I absolutely won’t show myself. That should be acceptable, right?"

A genius who was certain to enter the First-Grade Great Innate Realm was simply too important to Dao Yi Mountain. He had to protect this promising future seedling of Dao Yi Mountain.

Chen Sha said, "If you leave, what about the miscellaneous affairs on the mountain?"

Song Yu said sullenly, "Find someone else to manage them. In any case, if this child is going down to the Jianghu, I won’t be at ease. She is the hope of our generation for Dao Yi Mountain. Nothing can go wrong."

Chen Sha sighed helplessly. "Let’s talk about it again in a month."

With that, he looked at Lin Qingqing practicing in the woods and said:

"However, since she possesses such talent, I will try teaching her the complete 72-move Void Clarity Fist. If she truly has the ability to master this Fist Technique within a month, then even without becoming a Grandmaster or having any True Qi in her body, she could still easily handle any First-class Expert down the mountain just by relying on this Supreme Soft Boxing Technique."

After speaking, Chen Sha turned his head, no longer watching Lin Qingqing’s practice, and had the assembled Elders disperse.

"Stop crowding around. This brother and sister come from a life of luxury and have been doted on by their elders since childhood. Now that they’re on Dao Yi Mountain, if you continue to treat them like this, I’m afraid it will only feed their arrogance. No matter how talented they are, they’ll be spoiled. In the future, they’ll become complacent after some minor achievement. How could they still have the will to improve? Listen to me, all of you, disperse!"

Chen Sha’s voice was heavy.

Although the Elders were reluctant to leave, ultimately no one dared to defy Chen Sha’s command.

Over the past six months, this new Sect Leader, Chen Sha, had firmly established his authority in the hearts of everyone on the mountain through a few key events.

「In the woods.」

Seeing her handsome and divine-looking master arrive, only to glance at her once without coming over to speak, and instead making everyone else leave, Lin Qingqing suddenly felt a sense of loss and grievance. She had specifically sought out her brother for a match to show off her talent in front of her master, hoping Chen Sha would praise her. That was why she had pulled her brother into one match after another.

She never expected her master wouldn’t even have the slightest intention of coming to talk to her.

When a child achieves excellent results, they always hope for praise from their parents.

She dejectedly lowered her fists, thinking, ’I mastered this move in a single day, so why won’t he come over and praise me? Does he not like me...?’

When Lin Qingqing stopped, Lin Baibai, who had endured countless punches, cried out in relief and hastily scrambled away in another direction.
