075 - Preparations

By the time Lu Mingshu's Harmonization Realm had stabilized, the time of the Heavenly Door competition was already drawing near.

A month had already passed since the last time Gao Xiang had visited Green Jade Valley.

He happily came over with the intention to show off his breakthrough into the Harmonization Realm, but his mouth fell open in disbelief the moment he spotted Lu Mingshu.

"You, you, you ... had already broken through to the Harmonization Realm?"

Lu Mingshu held back her laughter when she sawing his gaping expression. "Why, only you can breakthrough while I can't?"

"Of course not, just, this is too abrupt. You didn't bring up the matter previously ..."

Lu Mingshu said, "It has been quite sudden for me as well, master only told me at the last moment."

"Ah." Gao Xiang paused for a moment. "Senior Uncle Liu definitely had the intention for you to attend the Heavenly Door competition when he asked if I was participating."

"Un." Lu Mingshu knew Zhou Yinru would definitely attend this year, hence an intention to participate grew in her heart.

If a genuine successor disciple did not make it to top ten for the three consecutive years the competition was held, they would be expelled and relieved of their position. Zhou Yinru did not attend the past two years, so she would definitely have to attend this year and also had to enter the top ten.

She had remembered the enmity back then, now was the time to strike back!

"It's not that far away from now, how is your preparation going?"

"So-so." Lu Mingshu did not feel too confident. She was very confident in her survival capability due to her life and death fights in other worlds, but the competition of the Heavenly Door was not merely a competition of strength.

For example, Zhou Yinru would definitely have someone escorting and protecting her. I can overpower one, but can I overpower a group?

As a century old tradition of Nine Jade Palace, unwritten rules grew over the years. Even if she asked Liu Jizhen to tell her some internal information, it was impossible for them to predict the underhanded means the person that operates this competition would utilize.

In order to deal with this, she could only do her utmost in preparations and adapt to the changes in the situation when the time comes.

The two conversed for a while before Gao Xiang went over to tease Little Daze. Ultimately, Little Daze raged and gave him the view of its butt as it disappeared from his scope of vision.

"Master." Lu Mingshu walked into the Heavenly Ascension Pavilion.

Just nice! Liu Jizhen had just finished practising a set of sword techniques. He took the towel passed over to him by Lu Mingshu to wipe off his sweat.

"Gao Xiang left?"

"Un."

Liu Jizhen gulped down a mouthful of water. "Although he had just broken through, his foundation is solid, so top ten would not pose a problem to him."

Lu Mingshu did not reply.

Liu Jizhen continued, "Come, show me the set of sword techniques I've just done."

The sword technique he had just practised was the one Lu Mingshu learned from the stone wall in Jade West Mountain Forest. Liu Jizhen guessed that it should have been left behind by a Grandmaster that improved the sword technique whilst traveling. It was a lot more superior as compared to the sword technique passed down by the Shengyang line currently, it had the ability to compensate for lots of the flaws of the current sword technique.
