Chapter 6: Love and Martial Arts
"Chen Zhen!"
He was about several meters away from the entrance of the Registration Hall when he heard someone call out his name. As he turned his head to the person, his gaze finally landed on an otherworldly beauty dressed in a long white and gold robe. Her luscious black hair flowed down to her waist, her face like it was carved by angels, soft pink lips that were pursed and a figure that would put every model on Earth to shame.
The bystanders quickly gathered around for the commotion, and began gossiping instantly. The reunion of two former lovers.
Gojo turned around, wanting to be sure if he was the one being called out, but he secretly pinched himself in the thigh after remembering his name was Chen Zhen.
He kept looking at her until he remembered Chen Zhen's old memories. This was his first love. That Zhao Mei who had left him for Luo Ping.
'Woah. Those authors weren't really lying in their description of the girls in this world. She's bad as hell..' He laughed inwardly yet he kept a straight face.
"Chen Zhen. You finally did it. You finally can cultivate now. You can now realize your dreams. But just know something Chen Zhen. Be content with mediocrity. Luo Ping and I are a couple made in Heaven. An insurmountable gap lies between you and us, one that-..".
She kept on yapping on and on and on, and Gojo couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Was this really necessary? This bitch just came out here on her own and started insulting him for no reason.
"You'll never be able to surpass-.."
"Hold up, hold up."
Gojo had to stop her yap, and shut her up. His ears were already starting to hurt. Seriously he had never met a girl who could talk so much. Not even Utahime could compare.
He walked closer to her fearlessly, until there was a meter of space between both of them and leaned towards her. His blindfolded eyes staring into her ruby ones.
"I can see why I fell in love with you before you're kinda hot. But right now.." He smirked and sized her up.
"Nah. I'll pass.."
He turned around as quickly as he walked towards her with a shrug and walked away amidst the stunned gazes of everyone present.
"You!!!" She fumed, but she knew she couldn't attack anyone in the registration hall without reason. She wasn't Luo Li or his brother. Or maybe she just couldn't. Who knew. Women are unpredictable.
"You harmed Luo Ping's brother. He'll be coming for you. I hope you're ready when that time comes!"
Before he walked out, she hissed at him, spitting her words with a spiteful tone to which Gojo merely waved his hand dismissively.
"Woah, what balls on that fellow!"
"Tsk. He thinks defeating Luo Li makes him a hotshot? Luo Li is ranked only 15th in the outer court rankings."
"Say what you want but what he did today is something you'll never be able to do in your life!"
Gossips turned into hateful arguments and soon fights broke out.
Meanwhile the main character of the commotion had already set off to find his new apartment. Except, he had no idea where the fuck District 15 was.
"Hello! Can I know where District 15 is? Thank you very much.."
He invaded the privacy of one bald youth who gave him directions and quickly took off due to Gojo's weird blindfolded face.
It was only a matter of time until he found his cave. The words 32B were boldly written at the door post. He took out his disciple's tag and simply tapped it against the door's post and watched it open. Unfortunately for him, gossip had spread like wildfire. Many disciples had already gathered around, watching the new underdog who had the guts to beat up Luo Ping's little brother and disrespect Zhao Mei in public.
Quickly entering his room, Gojo shut the door heavily on the outsiders which made them frown and disperse a while later.
He quickly took off his shoes and his blindfold and began inspecting the cave. And even his eyes couldn't help but widen in shock. The cave was nothing but ordinary. Beautiful and comfy furniture was nearly arranged in the Hall, the kitchen was spotless, his bedroom was neat and a large bed was neatly laid out for him, along with a shower and a toilet.
"This is the life!!"
He quickly hopped onto the bed, and closed his eyes for a moment to relax, but a knock on the door made his eyes snap open as he rolled them in annoyance.
He walked to the door, forgetting his blindfold and opened it, only to see a caterer standing there with a tray filled with exotic foods and fruits that made his mouth water.
Outer courts got to experience such a treatment? He never knew. He quickly grabbed the tray and shut the door, leaving the caterer who was completely gobsmacked by the sight of his beautiful eyes.
He sat on one of the round comfy couches, took off the lid covering the tray and his face beamed in excitement at the sight of the food. Rice, with exotic meat, several sweet sauces and fruits on one side. It was perfect. He grabbed a pair of chopsticks and wolfed everything down in no time.
After eating, he rested for about an hour and then sat cross legged on the bare floor. The old him would've probably gone to bed after eating such amounts of food. But the current him had no time to waste. He had already made enemies. And he needed to get stronger. There was no time to waste.
Quickly reaching out into his memories, he brought to mind, the two cultivation techniques that he had gained from the silver haired fella's memories.
Martial cultivation techniques were divided into several stages. Grades, 1-6 were the lowest level of martial techniques, divided into Lower, Middle and Higher grades. Next up were Manifestation techniques that could command power on a city level scale. They were divided into Quasi, low, middle and high grades. Next up, soul martial arts could command power on a continental scale. They were grouped into low, middle and high grades.
Gojo had no idea about the remaining levels above soul grade martial arts, according to Chen Zhen's memories, but the two Martial Arts in his consciousness exuded a thick and ancient aura that he felt couldn't be classified at all. The string of memories attached to the techniques showed that;
The Great Divination Technique had been retrieved by the silver haired fella on one of his journeys through other planes. The Voidforge Titan Codex on the other hand had been directly given to him by his master. Probably the man who had sacrificed himself to seal that Devil Emperor.
While the silver haired fella had cultivated the Great Divination Technique, he had little knowledge on the mysterious Voidforge Titan Codex due to the fact that, in order to truly cultivate it, he had to abandon his previous cultivation and start from the beginning which was basically impossible due to the times they lived in.
While both were unpredictable and mysterious techniques, the Voidforge Titan Codex was on another level. It was so profound that it's potential even scared the silver haired fella. And it was practically suited for cultivators attuned to the Dao of Space-time. This causes Gojo to salivate.
And while the Voidforge Titan Codex could be practiced instantly, the Great Divination Technique had a prerequisite; he had to at least have fortified with Yuan Power seed within his body, meaning a cultivation of at least the Earthly Yuan Realm.
Sighing, he placed the Great Divination Technique back for future use. The name itself sounded mysterious. Great Divination. He wondered what it could do. But he had to focus on the task at hand, the Voidforge Titan Codex.
