Chapter 2072: Of Course, He’s My Little Brother

Instructor Wen was stunned when he saw Little Bean’s formed energy. “I didn’t expect his energy to be this powerful.”
“Of course, he’s my little brother.” Ning Shu said smugly, feeling incredibly proud.
In the end, Little Bean was stopped at the final 5 and didn’t win first place. Little Bean was very young, and furthermore the energy form he’d cultivated was not golden like what Ning Shu had back then.
Ning Shu was pretty happy. Little Bean was still small. In the future, after he’d cultivated more, he’d definitely become a force to be reckoned with.
Little Bean was a little disappointed and Ning Shu didn’t comfort him. It was only through experiencing setbacks that you could truly grow.
After the academy tournament ended, Ning Shu’s Attacking Vital Energy course finally gained new students.
What Ning Shu didn’t expect was that one of them was even the prince of the empire. This prince was around Little Bean’s age.
The fact that the emperor had sent the prince to come over and learn from her could be a sign that the grudge between Ning Shu and Marshal Mu wouldn’t make her an enemy of the empire.
There was also no ruling out that the emperor wanted the Attacking Vital Energy’s secret manual.
Ning Shu took the prince under her wing and passed the Unsurpassable Martial Arts to him.
The secret manual wasn’t the most important part, rather, it was the period of cultivation. Ning Shu had unexpectedly started the Unsurpassable Martial Art’s advanced cultivation.
Additionally, there was no need to antagonize others.
Ning Shu didn’t feel at all that she was strong enough to be able to fight against the empire.
This world was full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
Ning Shu instructed these students.
When there was free time, she brought these students to Fallen Mountain to train.
In every student’s pocket was a flower. If they carried Little Grass’s flower, Little Grass would then be able to sense their location.
This time, her purpose for going to Fallen Mountain was to gather the spirit essence crystals below the Jade Waters Ice Pond.
Ning Shu brought a batch of students to the side of the Jade Waters Ice Pond. She had them cultivate near the pond as the spiritual energy there was quite abundant.
“Master, Master I want to absorb…” Little Grass was exceptionally excited.
“Go ahead.” Ning Shu nodded.
Little Grass immediately flew to the Jade Waters Ice Pond and took root in its bottom, frantically absorbing spiritual energy. Thick spiritual energy smoke rose from the ice pond.
Rows and rows of students sat near the ice pond and absorbed the spiritual energy that was so abundant it was even about to spill over. Ning Shu also sat cross-legged and did the same.
As Little Grass absorbed the spiritual energy, a black cloud in the sky raced towards it.
Ning Shu stopped her cultivation and was incomparably surprised. “Is this divine punishment?”
All plants who’d become conscious and intelligent would receive divine punishment.
Divine punishment was also known as heavenly tribulation, it was a trial bestowed by the heavens. After getting through it, the plants could become human.
Was Little Grass about to become a human?
“Master…” Little Grass’s voice trembled as she called out to Ning Shu.
“Don’t be afraid, this heavenly tribulation. As long as you get through this, you can become a human.” Ning Shu gently comforted Little Grass and quickly ushered away the bunch of students.
Divine punishment was not something humans could take on.
Ning Shu took the students out of Fallen Mountain and asked Little Bean to look after them before hurriedly going back to Jade Waters Ice Pond.
The entire Jade Waters Ice Pond was full of Little Grass’s waving vines. The low and dense black clouds shrouded Little Grass.
With a “rumble”, lightning struck Little Grass, whose vines immediately got obliterated.
Ning Shu heard Little Grass’s painful groans but had no way to help. She couldn’t rashly rush up there or it would become divine punishment for the both of them.
“Rumble, rumble…” The sound of thunder continued, and strike after strike of lightning landed on Little Grass open.
