6 The Genius Yao Yan! The Raging Waters Technique is Too Easy!
Five days later, Xu Yongzheng sat quietly on the ground as he manipulated his body as if it was some form of slime. It moved with ease, with no resistance like water being sloshed around in a cup. He spent the first 3 and a half days cultivating and reached the 5th Stage of the Foundation Building Realm, halfway to the 6th Stage.
As for the remainder of the week, Xu Yongzheng spent it practicing his control over his body and now he could manipulate it like pure water. Though it still took a considerable effort, Xu Yongzheng focused on specific parts of his body most of the time. Now he could change the form of his body parts and give them minor details.
Xu Yongzheng even hardened one point of his body until it became as sturdy as the walls of the pavilion.

"It's time I leave this place...but how? I wonder if I just touch the wall..." The only problem for Xu Yongzheng now was how to leave this place. He touched the wall of the pavilion again but nothing seemed to happen after five minutes. He suddenly infused his Spirit Qi with the pavilion, and his vision went dark.
This was normal for using magical artifacts and treasures, aside from using your blood.
Xu Yongzheng was transported back to his consciousness instead of being transported simply out of the pavilion. He quickly left his consciousness and opened his eyes, instantly noticing the figure of a woman next to him. Before he could even speak, the woman shouted at him.
"Now you decide to open your eyes?!" Xu Yongzheng looked at the woman and she seemed oddly familiar...
"Do I know you? Wait...You're Yao Yan, right? Why are you delivering my pills to me, aren't you a genius?" Xu Yongzheng's heart pounded intensely as he glanced at the beautiful vase-shaped body of Yao Yan. She had light pink hair with strange grey streaks mixed in, and fair, spotless white skin. A small nose, thin lips and eyebrows, strangely long ears, and silver irises.
Yao Yan was currently wearing the clothes of an Outer Disciple, an ordinary robe with two black straps on the waist and no decorations. Seeing such a cold beauty, which is what most disciples refer to her as, being so hot-headed, Xu Yongzheng couldn't help but feel weird. Nevertheless, even now Xu Yongzheng was barely holding back his urge to attack such a woman.
When Yao Yan heard Xu Yongzheng's question, her face instantly turned a bright red and an expression of embarrassment and anger exploded over her face. She tightly gripped her hands as she glared at Xu Yongzheng and quietly gnashed her teeth.
"Y-You! Don't worry about that and just take these useless pills!" Without warning, Yao Yan furiously threw the bottle of pills at Xu Yongzheng in a fit of rage before hurriedly leaving. Xu Yongzheng quickly reacted, although slightly caught off guard, and enveloped the bottle with his Spirit Qi as he looked at the entrance of his room.
"Did something big happen these past two weeks?" He said as he looked back at the bottle of pills.
"Sign in."
"Bzzt. Congratulations! The owner has obtained F-Class Item: Wooden Sword!"

"Ha! Hu! Ha! Ha!"
Xu Yongzheng spent 2 hours practicing his sword technique, or rather, the only technique manual he was allowed to obtain when he entered the sect. It was called the Raging Waters Technique and if mastered to the first level, the user could generate small quantities of water from their blade. If practiced to the second level, the user could control the water generated from the blade to their liking. And if practiced to the third level; which is the last, then the user will be able to turn the entire blade into pure water.
It was said that this technique was made by the Grand Elder 150 years ago. Currently, Xu Yongzheng hadn't even comprehended the first level of the technique, but after awakening his Body Of Nagara +extra, his level of comprehension over the technique was now terrifying. Just from practicing for two hours, he felt that he made immense progress and was almost halfway to comprehending the complete first level.
"T-This is amazing...It used to be hard just to obtain small enlightenment over this technique but now it's almost too easy..." Xu Yongzheng couldn't hold himself back as he let out a cheerful laugh. He couldn't help but be happy because half a month ago, Xu Yongzheng was just as average as any other Outer Disciple except he was a little dense and bold.
He wasn't arrogant, he just didn't know how to read the atmosphere sometimes which resulted in him being nearly killed by the Inner Disciple.
"Just you wait Inner Disciple! I may not know your name but I at least know your face!" Xu Yongzheng was never the one to develop and hold grudges so easily, but the transgressions of that Inner Disciple and Elder couldn't be ignored.
Thinking about this, Xu Yongzheng began intensely training the Raging Water Technique with the wooden sword he obtained from the Sign-In System. He was determined to crush that Inner Disciple beneath his feet.

'Ugh...Damnit, I know these pests are laughing at me behind my back, even my own friends..." Yao Yan muttered as she speed-walked through the Outer Disciple section of the sect. She had a look of utter disgust on her face when she looked at the Outer Disciples, despite being one herself.
Originally, she was going to become an Inner Disciple but lost her opportunity last week because of a particular incident. She was courted by an Inner Disciple of high status but because she wanted to maintain her 'cold beauty' facade, she boldly rejected the Inner Disciple's feelings. She even went as far as saying that he wasn't worthy of talking to her and she would wipe out his family if they ever crossed paths again.
She made a horrible mistake.
Not only was that particular Inner Disciple the son of an Elder, the Elder just so happened to be the one who was going to promote her to Inner Disciple status. The Elder felt personally offended after his son told him what exactly happened and Yao Yan immediately lost her opportunity at becoming an Inner Disciple.
