Transmigrating to become Hua Qiangu

Chapter 8 The Joy of Transformation

After experiencing a series of twists and turns related to sword flight, Hua Qiangu's desire to truly master this skill grew even stronger. That day, she secretly slipped into that mysterious space again, determined to practice diligently in this undisturbed place, determined to completely master sword flight!

Upon entering the space, Hua Qiangu gripped her longsword, took a deep breath, and her eyes shone with unwavering determination. She muttered to herself, "Hmph! I'll fight to the death here today. I must learn this sword-flying technique so that I can show those who look down on me that I, Hua Qiangu, am not someone to be trifled with!"

Following the method taught to her by Master Bai Zihua, she carefully and slowly channeled her spiritual energy into the sword. At first, the sword trembled, like a timid child, hesitant to obey her commands.

"Hey, hold on, little guy!" Hua Qiangu frowned and whispered to the sword, as if she were having a heart-to-heart talk with it. "We have to work together well. I'm counting on you. Good luck!"

After several attempts, the sword finally began to rise slowly and steadily. Seeing this, Hua Qiangu's face lit up with a joyful smile, and she excitedly exclaimed, "Wow! It's rising! It's rising! Haha, this is a good omen!"

Then, she leaped onto the sword, but as soon as she stood on it, the sword began to shake again.

"Hey, don't shake! Hold on, hold on!" Hua Qiangu gripped the sword hilt tightly, beads of sweat forming on her forehead. Extremely anxious, she shouted, "I refuse to believe I can't handle you!"

And so, Hua Qiangu practiced again and again in the space. Sometimes she would be so excited that she would dance with joy when the sword became a little more stable, and sometimes she would be extremely annoyed when the sword suddenly shook. Time quietly passed by with these attempts and failures, but Hua Qiangu was completely immersed in it and did not notice how long she had been in this space.

After an unknown amount of time, Hua Qiangu felt that the tacit understanding between herself and the sword seemed to be getting better and better. Under her control, the sword began to fly relatively steadily for a certain distance, and she was also able to control its direction of flight more accurately.

"Haha! That's awesome! I think I'm getting the hang of it!" Hua Qiangu's face flushed with excitement as she waved her arms in the air and cheered loudly, "I can finally fly! Wow!"

She continued to practice diligently, constantly challenging herself with more difficult moves, making the sword perform various rotations and dives in the air, and she was able to complete them all successfully.

"Wow! I really learned it! Haha! Now let's see if Ni Mantian dares to underestimate me!" Hua Qiangu was so happy she almost jumped for joy, fully enjoying the joy of her success in her space.

After practicing for a while longer, making sure she had mastered the sword-flying technique, Hua Qiangu finally prepared to leave the space, satisfied. She thought to herself smugly, "Hehe, once I'm out here, I must find a chance to show off my progress, let Master see it, and let Ni Mantian see how much I've improved! I'll make her furious!"

When Hua Qiangu emerged from the spatial dimension, she was astonished to find that only a single second had passed outside. Her eyes widened, and she muttered to herself, "Wow, the time difference between inside and outside this space is enormous! But it's alright, now no one will know I've been practicing in there for so long, hehe!"

Hua Qiangu walked happily toward the place where the disciples usually gathered, wanting to find someone to share her joy. She hadn't gone far when she ran into Senior Brother Luo Shiyi.

"Eleventh Senior Brother!" Hua Qiangu called out excitedly from afar, running over to him.

Seeing Hua Qiangu's excited expression, Luo Shiyi asked with a smile, "Little Gu, you seem so happy, is there something good happening?"

Hua Qiangu exclaimed eagerly, "Senior brother, I've learned the sword flight technique! Haha! Just now, I practiced diligently in one place for a long time, and now I've finally mastered it!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Shiyi's eyes lit up immediately, and he exclaimed with delight, "Wow! Xiao Gu, that's fantastic! I'm so happy for you! You've really put in a lot of hard work, now those who looked down on you won't have anything to say!"

Hua Qiangu raised her chin triumphantly and said, "Hmph! I'll show them that I'm not as incompetent as they say! Especially Ni Mantian, I want to see what she can say now!"

Just then, Ni Mantian and her followers walked over. Seeing Hua Qiangu's smug expression, Ni Mantian felt extremely uncomfortable. She snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "Oh, isn't this Hua Qiangu? What's wrong? Showing off again? Humph!"

Hua Qiangu rolled her eyes at her and said loudly, "Ni Mantian, I'm not showing off, I really have learned the sword flight technique! How about it, are you envious and jealous? Humph!"

Ni Mantian curled her lip in disdain and said, "Hmph, you? So what if you learned it? Maybe it was just a lucky fluke, you just happened to learn a little bit. What's there to be proud of!"

Upon hearing this, Hua Qiangu clenched her fists in anger and said, "Ni Mantian, stop making sarcastic remarks! I learned it through my own efforts. If you're not convinced, we can have a match right here! Humph!"

Upon hearing about the competition, Ni Mantian was slightly taken aback, but she still braced herself and said, "Let's compete then! Who's afraid of who! Humph, I'd like to see just how good you are!"

Seeing this, Luo Shiyi quickly stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Hey, Xiao Gu, Ni Mantian, we're all from the same sect, why do we have to compete? It's not good if this damages our harmony!"

Hua Qiangu firmly said, "Senior brother, I'm going to compete with her today and show her that I'm not someone to be trifled with!"

Not to be outdone, Ni Mantian retorted, "Luo Shiyi, mind your own business. Today I'm going to settle things with her!"

Just as the two sides were deadlocked and about to start a match, Bai Zihua appeared out of nowhere. His expression was cold and stern, and he swept his gaze over the crowd indifferently, saying, "What's all this noise about? Are you going to start another fight?"

Upon seeing Bai Zihua arrive, Ni Mantian immediately changed her demeanor and obediently said, "Master, it was Hua Qiangu who insisted on competing with me in sword flying techniques. I had no choice!"

Hua Qiangu said anxiously, "Master, it was Ni Mantian who looked down on me first, saying that even if I learned it, it would be a lucky guess. That's why I wanted to compete with her!"

Bai Zihua frowned slightly, looked at Ni Mantian, and said, "Ni Mantian, don't distort the truth here. Xiao Gu's ability to learn the sword flight technique is the result of her hard work. You should encourage her instead of mocking her."

Upon hearing this, Ni Mantian lowered her head in fright and said, "Yes, Master, this disciple knows her mistake."

Bai Zihua then looked at Hua Qiangu, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes, and said, "Little Bone, although you have learned it, you still need to keep practicing and not be arrogant or complacent."

Hua Qiangu replied, "Yes, Master, I understand!"

Bai Zihua continued, "As for the matter of competition, I believe it is unnecessary. Fellow disciples should help each other rather than compete with each other."

Although Hua Qiangu was somewhat unwilling, she still said, "Yes, Master, I will listen to you."

Ni Mantian secretly rejoiced, thinking to herself, "Hmph, thank goodness Master intervened, otherwise I really don't know if I could have surpassed Hua Qiangu. I'll find another opportunity to deal with her next time!"

Hua Qiangu secretly vowed in her heart: "Hmph, Ni Mantian, I'll let it go this time. When I have the chance in the future, I will definitely compete with you and make you admit that I am better than you!"

Afterwards, Bai Zihua gave Hua Qiangu a few more instructions about cultivation before turning and leaving. Watching Bai Zihua's departing figure, Hua Qiangu thought to herself, "Master is so good to me, always appearing to help me at crucial moments. I must cultivate even harder and live up to Master's expectations!"

She glanced back at Ni Mantian, who was whispering among herself and her followers, seemingly plotting how to deal with her. Hua Qiangu snorted, thinking, "Hmph, Ni Mantian, just you wait, I'll make you look at me differently sooner or later!"

From then on, Hua Qiangu cultivated even more diligently, not only constantly improving her sword-flying skills but also not slacking off in other areas of her training. She would often sneak into her spatial dimension when no one was around to continue practicing, and each time she emerged, she had made new progress.

And in this process, there is also a lot of communication and interaction with other fellow disciples.

Once, after Hua Qiangu finished practicing her sword flying technique, she encountered her senior brother Huo Xi.

When Huo Xi saw Hua Qiangu, she said with a grin, "Little Bone, I heard you've learned the art of flying on a sword? Haha, that's amazing! Anything fun to do?"

Hua Qiangu smiled and said, "Senior Brother Huo Xi, there wasn't anything fun, it was just really tough to practice, but I've finally mastered it now, and it feels pretty good!"

Huo Xi nodded and said, "Yeah, that's great! You'll be able to fly around in the sky with us from now on, haha! By the way, Xiao Gu, you've mastered the sword flight technique so well, do you have any tips?"

Hua Qiangu thought for a moment and said, "The trick is to practice more, and also to carefully feel the connection between the sword and yourself according to the method taught by your master. You will gradually master it!"

Upon hearing this, Huo Xi said thoughtfully, "Oh, I see. Then I'll have to practice more. Maybe one day I can be as good as you!"

Hua Qiangu encouraged him, "Senior Brother Huo Xi, you can definitely do it! Keep it up!"

On another occasion, Hua Qiangu encountered her senior sister Wu Qingluo on her way to the back mountain to find spiritual herbs.

When Wu Qingluo saw Hua Qiangu, she greeted her with a smile, "Little Bone, how's your cultivation going lately?"

Hua Qiangu replied, "Senior Sister Qingluo, I've been doing quite well lately, especially with the sword flight technique. I've already learned it and am now working hard to become more proficient!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Qingluo exclaimed happily, "Wow! Xiao Gu, that's fantastic! I'm so happy for you! This is a huge step forward, and it will be much easier for you to move around Changliu Mountain from now on!"

Hua Qiangu smiled and said, "Thank you for your encouragement, Senior Sister Qingluo! I will continue to work hard!"

Wu Qingluo then asked, "Little Bone, now that you've learned the sword flight technique, have you ever thought about going to see more distant places?"

Hua Qiangu's eyes lit up and she said, "Senior sister, I have indeed thought about it, but my cultivation is not strong enough yet. When I become more powerful, I will definitely go and see more of the scenery in this world of immortals and heroes!"

Wu Qingluo nodded and said, "Yes, that's good. But you must be careful when you go out, this world of immortals and heroes is not peaceful!"

Hua Qiangu replied, "Yes, I understand, Senior Sister, thank you for reminding me!"

Thus, during her time on Changliu Mountain, Hua Qiangu diligently cultivated while maintaining friendly relations with her fellow disciples. Although she was occasionally harassed by people like Ni Mantian, she never gave up and took steps towards becoming a stronger version of herself.
