Chapter 36: Extra Reward Pack, Liu Erlong Is Pregnant
Zhou Yi was overjoyed.
The reputation of the Nine Yin True Scripture needed no further mention; though not as powerful as the Holy Heart Sutra, it was still an extraordinary divine technique, vast in scope and comprehensive in nature.
It was perfect to pass on to people like Liu Erlong, Ah Yin, Li Baishi, Li Shishi, and others.
Moreover, Zhou Yi had plans to condense the Martial Ancestor divine position in the future, so he would certainly need to spread martial arts across the world. The Holy Heart Sutra was definitely not something he could share with others.
However, some of the martial arts in the Nine Yin True Scripture could be passed down.
Light Wave Step was also excellent; it was not only a lightness skill but also complemented internal cultivation. In some cases, it could be used for quick repositioning or evading attacks in small areas, even more effective than the Ascending Immortal Steps.
The Frost-Defying Sword, on the other hand, was a peerless divine weapon from the Death Chess of the Demon Sword.
Forged from a millennium-old ice spring, with the blood of the Demon Sword clan as the sword soul and the Nine Dragon Stone as its spirit, it took sixty years to create.
It was a divine weapon with ice attributes.
The sword's energy exuded a chilling frost, its arrogance awe-inspiring, with the power to resurrect the dead.
The Frost-Defying Sword could be split into two blades—the Heart Sword and the Demon Sword.
When the righteous energy was used to strike, the Heart Sword would unite.
When blood was sharpened for the strike, the Demon Sword would be invincible.
The Heart Sword embodies life, while the Demon Sword embodies death.
The two were interdependent yet mutually destructive.
Zhou Yi, who normally did not like to activate his martial soul, was now thrilled with the appearance of the Frost-Defying Sword. At last, he had a formidable divine sword at his disposal.
As for the Transformation Pill, they could turn soul beasts into human form without affecting their strength. They were a valuable treasure indeed.
"Maybe I should work on the rabbit first!"
Thinking of soul beasts, Zhou Yi immediately thought of the hundred-thousand-year-old Soul Beast, the Rude Rabbit, Xiao Wu.
Ding! "Congratulations, Host! You now have five women. Reward: Stage-specific gift pack."
"Huh? There's a stage-specific gift pack?"
Zhou Yi's eyes lit up. He had thought that the big gift pack would only come once he reached ten women, but to his surprise, five was enough.
However, the pack for reaching ten would undoubtedly be better than the one for five.
"Open the gift pack."
Zhou Yi eagerly anticipated the rewards.
"Reward 1: Maximum-level Dugu Nine Swords."
"Reward 2: The cultivation speed of the Host's women is doubled."
"Truly a Stage-specific gift pack. This is awesome!"
Zhou Yi sighed in admiration.
"Integrate maximum-level Dugu Nine Swords."
Zhou Yi received the reward.
In the next instant, his consciousness seemed to transcend space and time, attaching itself to the body of a man dressed in green. The figure held a long sword, performing stance after stance, continuously refining his skills.
General Index Stance.
Breaking Sword Stance.
Breaking Saber Stance.
...
Breaking Arrow Stance.
Breaking Qi Stance.
Entry-level.
Minor Completion.
Major Completion.
Perfection.
Zhou Yi didn't know how long had passed, but when he regained his senses, it felt as though two sword intents were soaring from his eyes, their sharpness dazzling and unstoppable.
The maximum-level Dugu Nine Swords had greatly enhanced Zhou Yi's swordsmanship, raising it to a level of mastery beyond compare.
Even if Feng Qingyang came, he would have to kneel.
Then, Zhou Yi also integrated all the information from the Nine Yin True Scripture.
Unfortunately, this required him to practice or allocate points, which Zhou Yi had no time to focus on at the moment.
During this time, Zhou Yi had accumulated over a thousand experience points.
Zhou Yi added the thousand points to the Light Wave Step.
The next moment, Zhou Yi's consciousness entered another body, where he began to comprehend and arduously train.
It was unclear how much time had passed, but eventually, Zhou Yi had reached the entry level for Light Wave Step.
When he regained his senses, it felt as if he had practiced Light Wave Step countless times.
He looked at his attribute panel:

"One word: extravagant!"
"Two words: overwhelming extravagance!"
Zhou Yi was in a good mood, and in these past few days, with the help of Bodhi Jade Tea and the Complete Tonic Pills, his cultivation had rapidly advanced.
He was now a Level 38 Soul Elder.
In just a few days, he would be able to break through to Soul Ancestor.
After reviewing his rewards, Zhou Yi looked at the sleeping Li Shishi and Li Baishi in his arms.
Their tender white faces were flushed with a tempting allure, their eyes bearing faint traces of unshed tears.
Their soft, thick black hair cascaded down, their skin snow-white and smooth, exuding a radiance that seemed to sink into the bone. They were slender yet curvaceous, their delicate waists and graceful postures like the finest jade.
Perfect!
Especially their flawless, snow-white faces and exquisite features, their expressions full of charm, their entire bodies as bright as white jade. They made Zhou Yi's heart race, his blood boil, and his mind lose control.
Suddenly.
Li Baishi's long eyelashes fluttered, her beautiful eyes opened, locking with Zhou Yi's gaze.
The moment their eyes met, Li Baishi shyly averted her gaze, softly murmuring:
"Master!"
Her gentle and melodious voice was like a soul-stirring spell, how could Zhou Yi resist?
Soon, Li Shishi also awoke, startled by the commotion, and was pulled into the action.
By midday, Zhou Yi finally rose from bed, attended by the two women.
After lunch, as usual, Zhou Yi lay on a rocking chair, basking in the sunlight, enjoying tea and the pleasures of life.
Li Shishi and Li Baishi served him, preparing tea and massaging his shoulders, allowing Zhou Yi to relax, feeling as though he had ascended to heaven.
However, Zhou Yi wasn't entirely idle. While enjoying himself, he also provided guidance on meridian and acupoint knowledge to Li Shishi, Li Baishi, Liu Erlong, and A Yin.
"This is the Laughing Acupoint!"
Zhou Yi pointed at Li Baishi's body.
"Hehehe..."
"Hehehe..."
Li Baishi immediately burst into uncontrollable laughter.
"Truly miraculous!"
"Impressive!"
Liu Erlong, Ah Yin, and the Li sisters were utterly captivated.
Having witnessed the miraculous precision and mystique of the acupoint technique, the four women devoted themselves to learning with even greater earnestness.
"My lord, Sword Douluo and Master Xiao Gang seek an audience."
At that moment, a maid approached and reported to Zhou Yi.
"Let them in."
Zhou Yi spoke indifferently.
"Yes, my lord."
The maid respectfully withdrew.
Li Shishi, Li Baishi, and the others tidied themselves and stood behind Zhou Yi.
Soon, Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Yu Xiao Gang entered together.
"So beautiful!"
Yu Xiao Gang was taken aback upon seeing Li Shishi and Li Baishi. He had heard that Zhou Yi had brought back two stunning beauties, but he hadn't expected them to be this breathtaking.
His master truly had a fortune with women.
Yu Xiao Gang envied him inwardly.
Not daring to look too much, Yu Xiaogang and Chen Xin stepped forward and cupped their hands in greeting.
"Disciple greets the master."
"Greetings to the esteemed madams."
"No need for such formalities."
Zhou Yi sized up the two and asked, "What brings you here?"
"Master, this is the Zhou Yi Theory, which has been compiled and edited. Please review it."
Yu Xiao Gang took out a book and respectfully handed it over.
"Mm, thank you for your hard work."
Zhou Yi accepted the book with satisfaction.
Although Yu Xiao Gang's strength was lacking, he was still quite useful, especially for tasks like compiling materials.
"To relieve the master's burdens is the disciple's duty."
Zhou Yi nodded slightly and turned to Chen Xin. "Have you come to ask about the swordsmanship?"
"Master is wise!"
Chen Xin nodded. Having reached level 96, he was now seeking to learn more about swordsmanship.
"You came at just the right time. I've just comprehended a set of sword techniques today, and I'll teach them to you."
Zhou Yi thought for a moment and decided to pass on the Dugu Nine Swords to Sword Douluo.
"Xiao Gang, you should also learn. Even if your Soul Power cannot increase, mastering this sword technique will greatly enhance your combat abilities."
"Yes, thank you, Master!"
"Thank you, Master!"
Both Yu Xiao Gang and Chen Xin were overjoyed, their eyes sparkling with excitement as they looked at Zhou Yi, eager to know what sword techniques he had comprehended.
"Chen Xin, you try it first."
Zhou Yi rose, drew an iron sword, and gestured toward Chen Xin.
"Please, Master, teach me."
Chen Xin, filled with battle intent, also drew his iron sword.
"Make your move."
Zhou Yi held his sword with one hand, his gaze calm. Despite being much younger than Chen Xin, he exuded the aura of a swordsmanship master.
"Master, forgive me!"
Chen Xin swung his sword at Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi effortlessly blocked it.
The flawless Dugu Nine Swords flowed from his hands like an art form, demonstrating skill beyond comprehension.
Everyone, including Yu Xiao Gang, Liu Erlong, and others, watched in awe.
In the Douluo Continent, Soul Masters focused primarily on Soul Skills, relying on them, and rarely studied other martial techniques.
The extraordinary Dugu Nine Swords shattered their previous understanding.
It overturned their worldview.
"Breaking Sword Style!"
This move, as if divinely inspired, instantly shattered Chen Xin's sword. By the time Chen Xin regained his senses, Zhou Yi's sword was already pressed to his throat.
"Impressive!"
Chen Xin was left in total admiration, his respect for Zhou Yi growing immensely. He had never seen or heard of such exquisite swordsmanship before. His master was truly remarkable.
He had made no mistake in choosing this teacher.
"This sword technique is called Dugu Nine Swords, and it consists of nine styles. Each style is versatile, with no retreat—every move is an attack, forcing the opponent into defense..."
As Zhou Yi demonstrated, he explained not just to Chen Xin and Yu Xiao Gang, but also to Liu Erlong, Ah Yin, Li Baishi, and Li Shishi, all of whom listened intently.
"Dugu Nine Swords... it seems this is the sword technique of the Sword Demon Dugu Qiubai..."
The others thought to themselves.
Of course, in their minds, Dugu Qiubai was none other than Zhou Yi.
"Alright, today I'll teach you the Breaking Sword Style. Go and ponder it carefully. Come back at this time tomorrow."
Zhou Yi said to Chen Xin and Yu Xiao Gang.
"Yes, Master!"
Chen Xin and Yu Xiao Gang left, their faces filled with excitement, their admiration for Zhou Yi deepening.
Such exquisite swordsmanship—truly a genius of the sword.
Moreover, they couldn't shake a terrifying guess.
This Dugu Nine Swords was obviously a technique passed down by the Sword Demon Dugu Qiubai.
Then, had the previous techniques Master Zhou had mentioned, such as the Sword of Ruthlessness, the Sword of Compassion, and the Yue Maiden Sword, also come from such legendary sword styles?
And these techniques were certainly all derived from Zhou Yi's natural understanding of the world and its changes.
The more they thought about it, the more their hearts raced.
It seemed Zhou Yi was born to be a sword god.
To be able to study under him was the greatest blessing of their lives.
In the following days, Zhou Yi would teach Chen Xin, Yu Xiaogang, and the others sword techniques every afternoon.
As for Li Baishi, Li Shishi, Liu Erlong, and Ah Yin, Zhou Yi would teach them knowledge of acupuncture points and meridians, laying the foundation for their future practice of the Nine Yin True Scripture.
Every evening, he would rotate spending time with Liu Erlong, Ah Yin, and the Li sisters.
Zhou Yi reveled in his bliss.
The beauty of the four women made Zhou Yi fall deeper into his obsession, unable to extricate himself.
Time passed quickly, and soon it was the end of April.
On this day, Zhou Yi was about to review the daily lessons with Liu Erlong when she caught his mischievous hand and said, "Husband, I think it's happened!"
Her relatives hadn't come this month yet.
"Happened? What happened?"
At first, Zhou Yi didn't think much of it, but then his spirit lifted, and a light seemed to flicker in his eyes.
Zhou Yi immediately checked Liu Erlong's pulse.
It didn't take long to confirm.
Liu Erlong was truly pregnant.
"Ha ha ha, this is wonderful!"
"Muah!"
Zhou Yi picked up Liu Erlong's soft, graceful body and kissed her cheek passionately, his eyes filled with excitement.
After more than a month of effort, it had finally borne fruit.
