"Huh?"
Bi Bi Dong stopped shaking Ye Tian's head, her grip on his skull loosening as she exclaimed in surprise:
"You broke through?"
"That's right, I've reached level 16."
Ye Tian nodded, simultaneously shaking off Bi Bi Dong's hand.
"Level 16? In just over three months?"
Bi Bi Dong's eyes held genuine astonishment.
"What's wrong, teacher? Am I too slow?"
Ye Tian raised his head, looking puzzled at Bi Bi Dong who stood frozen in place.
"No!"
"You're already fast - so fast it's almost unbearable for me..."
Bi Bi Dong murmured as she lifted her gaze to the sky, taking a deep breath.
Then she instantly extended her fair hand, aiming for Ye Tian's forehead.
"Ah—!"
With a dull thud.
Ye Tian cried out in pain, once again falling victim to that unpredictable flick on the forehead.
Clutching his brow, he complained:
"Teacher, can't you try a different move?"
"Hmph! Can't you stop showing off? Has it been too long since I disciplined you?"
Bi Bi Dong held her long spear.
Leaning sideways with a casual posture, she looked down at Ye Tian, her index finger pressed against his forehead.
Staring at Ye Tian, she said calmly:
"Your cultivation speed is already remarkably fast,"
"Especially as a Food-type Soul Master, your speed could be described as inhuman."
Though Bi Bi Dong's voice remained calm,
her beautiful eyes couldn't help but reveal admiration, along with deep expectation.
Normally, for someone with Innate Full Spirit Power to break through to level 16 would require at least four or even five months.
Moreover,
the time required for this breakthrough
would typically take about two months longer than reaching level 15.
As someone who also possessed Innate Full Spirit Power, Bi Bi Dong was naturally very familiar with these statistics. After all, they were results she had personally verified through experience.
But with Ye Tian,
not only did he break through quickly, he maintained this speed across different realms!
This was Ye Tian's most terrifying aspect.
If Ye Tian could maintain or even surpass his current speed in future cultivation...
Bi Bi Dong didn't dare imagine.
Comparing such a Ye Tian with a Soul Master possessing Twin Martial Souls...
Who would reach the Titled Douluo realm faster?
The advantage of Twin Martial Souls Soul Masters lies in the later stages, while Ye Tian's advantage remains relatively consistent throughout.
Determining who would be faster was truly difficult to say.
"Inhuman? Is my speed really that fast?"
Ye Tian scratched his head, muttering to himself with lowered head.
He knew he was fast, but didn't feel he was as fast as Bi Bi Dong claimed. After all, when making comparisons, one should compare with the very best.
Ye Tian remembered clearly that someone had reached level 100 and become a god at twenty-five years old.
Subtracting the six years spent waiting in the birthplace...
Looking at it this way,
even if he truly broke through four levels per year,
he was still far from reaching the inhuman level Bi Bi Dong described.
Unless the other party wasn't human!
"Sigh~"
"It seems even breaking through four levels per year is still too slow."
"..."
Ye Tian's heartfelt lament
made Bi Bi Dong's face darken, unable to resist clenching her fist.
The surrounding air grew noticeably colder.
"!!!"
Ye Tian's heart trembled slightly,
immediately tilting his head to avoid the incoming forehead flick.
But instead, a palm descended like Mount Wuzhi upon his head.
"Ah!"
Ye Tian hurriedly protected his head,
"Teacher, don't go too far."
"Oh? I changed my move - why aren't you happy about it?"
Bi Bi Dong withdrew her hand.
He raised the gunstock, about to smash it against Ye Tian's forehead.
"See if I don't beat you to death!"
"Hey, hey, hey! Teacher, that's no joking matter!"
Ye Tian quickly straightened up, reaching out to stop her.
Bi Bi Dong lowered the gunstock, placing one hand on her hip as she asked coldly, "Why the act? Weren't you in pain?"
"Uh, haha, I'm just quite sensitive~"
Ye Tian explained with an awkward laugh.
"Hmph! Can't be bothered to argue with you about this nonsense."
Bi Bi Dong casually tossed the long Fire Tipped Spear back to Ye Tian, turning around as she urged, "Hurry up and come over. After eating, we'll train together."
"Right away!"
Ye Tian happily caught the Fire Tipped Spear and quickly stuffed it back into his Soul Guidance Device.
He feared Bi Bi Dong might turn around and confiscate it.
"Oh, right!"
"There's one more thing..."
Suddenly, Bi Bi Dong turned back again.
Ye Tian's heart, which had just settled, tightened once more. Was this woman still planning to take his spear?
Facing Bi Bi Dong's gaze,
Ye Tian immediately put on a shy smile.
"Teacher, don't worry, I'll report to your room right away..."
"No, that's not what I meant to say."
Bi Bi Dong shook her head.
She actually began slowly approaching Ye Tian again, the smile on her face fading,
becoming less gentle,
even cold!
"..."
Seeing this, Ye Tian calmed down, no longer preoccupied with his spear.
He silently watched Bi Bi Dong approach,
then crouch down, opening her mouth toward him.
"You're so clever, you must have guessed what I'm going to say, right?"
Bi Bi Dong chuckled lightly, raising her hand.
She pressed it against Ye Tian's head, her smile devoid of warmth.
As if she might smash his head at any moment.
"Please go on, Teacher."
Ye Tian's body stiffened slightly as he spoke in a low voice.
"Heh~ You're always like this, pretending not to understand what you clearly know."
Bi Bi Dong scoffed twice.
She didn't mind; she was used to Ye Tian's occasional muteness.
"It's practically a worn-out topic."
Bi Bi Dong's tone was light, gradually turning icy.
Staring intently into Ye Tian's eyes, she said with utmost seriousness,
"Under no circumstances should you reveal the Fire Tipped Spear and Palm Thunder—not even to those two little girls."
After speaking,
Bi Bi Dong brought her cold, beautiful face close to Ye Tian's,
tilting her head as if about to kiss him...
Her eyes held a questioning look.
"Understand?"
"..."
Ye Tian breathed in Bi Bi Dong's scent, glancing at her vertical pair of red lips.
Her exquisite face showed not a single flaw.
Such close proximity made Ye Tian uncomfortable, forcing him to turn his head aside.
He nodded gently.
"Don't worry, Teacher. These things have been around for over a month, and Little Xue and the others still don't know, right? I remember clearly..."
Noticing Ye Tian's discomfort, Bi Bi Dong couldn't help but smile.
At such close range,
she could clearly smell the Pill Fragrance on Ye Tian, confirming it had indeed grown stronger, and even feel the rising temperature of his face.
It seemed
this kid wasn't as detached and indifferent as he appeared on the surface.
"Heh~ As long as you remember."
Bi Bi Dong's vermilion lips curved upward as she withdrew her own slightly warmed face.
Slowly standing up, she said with a light laugh,
"Of course, I know you, sly as you are, must be quite resentful deep down... But who's to blame when I'm currently thousands of times stronger than you?"
"Teacher, you've misunderstood..."
Watching Bi Bi Dong's somewhat haughty demeanor, Ye Tian felt both amused and exasperated.
To be honest...
He truly had no objections to Bi Bi Dong's request.
In fact, he had already considered doing exactly that.
After all,
he now spent every day cultivating on Bi Bi Dong's bed.
If he were to expose his Fire Tipped Spear and Palm Thunder, he would inevitably face either Qian Xunji's interrogation or attempts to recruit him.
In that case,
he might very well end up dead on Bi Bi Dong's bed one day.
When that happened, history would be written in iron:
"The Saintess's personal disciple Ye Tian attempted to violate the Holy Maiden but was too weak and was struck dead with a single palm!"
Where could a dead man like him go to plead his case?
What?
You say the Holy Maiden's disciple is still young and probably not up to the task?!
Never mind whether he could or not—
just ask whether he had the intention or not!
Ye Tian felt
that given how absurd this world could be, such a scenario was entirely possible.
Of course, most likely no excuse would even be needed.
Bi Bi Dong could simply strike him dead outright.
