Infinite Awakening: My Exp Doubles Everyday novel Chapter 298

Chapter 298: Fission

Elder Guo Shantian slowly walked up the mountain, holding the hand of the little girl walking beside him.

Despite her young age, the girl’s face held none of the innocent wonder typical of someone her age. Instead, she had an intelligent gaze and maintained a serious and focused expression.

"We’re here," Elder Guo announced as they finally reached the mountain peak.

He turned to study the girl walking beside him, a pleased smile spreading across his face. He thought to himself that the child was truly remarkable. He had told her to walk up the mountain as a test. Even if she had failed, he would have still taken her in as a disciple.

Who would have thought that she was not only talented in qi cultivation but also blessed with a naturally strong body for body refinement? He had a smug smile spread across his face, it seems my Mountain Heart Pavilion is truly destined for greatness.

"Xiang Yu, where are you?" Elder Guo called out, his voice echoing across the mountain peak. "You better not be lazing around again!"

He raised his voice slightly, adding with mild exasperation, "Come out and greet your new junior sister. Don’t embarrass me."

A heavy sigh escaped his lips as he wondered what his other disciple might be doing at this moment. He sincerely hoped the boy hadn’t forgotten to eat and died off somewhere in a corner.

Several moments passed in silence before a small figure emerged slowly from behind one of the pavilion buildings. When Elder Guo spotted his first disciple, his face brightened noticeably with relief.

Well, at least he’s still alive. That’s something, I suppose, the elder thought to himself.

"Xiang Yu, this is Li Yao," Elder Guo said, gesturing toward the little girl. "She’ll be your junior sister from now on, so treat her well."

He then turned to the girl, continuing his introductions. "Li Yao, this is Xiang Yu. He’s your senior brother. Although he looks lazy and untalented, he’s still your senior brother, so you must show him proper respect."

"Lazy? Untalented?" Xiang Yu clutched at his chest, his face twisting in pain. "Master, so it’s like that. Off with the old and on with the new?"

"What old and new? I’m simply telling the truth," Elder Guo replied, waving his hand dismissively. "If you don’t want to be called lazy and untalented, then pick up a cultivation manual and actually try practicing for once. I’m leaving now - you two can get to know each other properly."

Without another word, the elder launched himself into the air and flew away, leaving the two.

Li Yao fixed her new senior brother with a hard, calculating stare. She thought firmly to herself that she didn’t need any friends, especially not ones that looked like this pathetic boy before her. With just one glance, she could tell that he possessed absolutely no cultivation ability whatsoever. To be unable to cultivate at such an age was truly pitiful.

As these dismissive thoughts ran through her mind, Xiang Yu began walking closer to her position. Li Yao wondered what he could possibly want from her. She continued staring at him with obvious anger and disdain, but he seemed completely unbothered by her hostile expression. He approached until he stood directly before her, close enough that she had to tilt her head back slightly to meet his eyes.

"Hi," he spoke softly,

"My name is Xiang Yu. Yu(羽) as in the character for feather"

[It’s done!]

The empress’s voice suddenly cut through Li Yao’s memories.

Li Yao’s eyes snapped open, finding herself back in the sprawling mountain range. She could feel the overwhelming rush of insights as her enlightenment finally settled into the immortal rank.

"I’ve also managed to break through to the peak of the nascent soul realm"

She took a steadying breath and added, "I’ll start attempting the Soul Formation realm now."

[Wait...] the empress spoke hesitantly.

"It’s okay, I understand," she replied. "I won’t give in to any mental demons."

Without waiting further, Li Yao began stimulating her qi.
