Chapter 26

Piao Jian Sheng stepped with the momentum of the Seven Stars and the Heaven's Gang, changing from holding the sword with one hand to holding it with both hands, positioning it in front of him.

A cold and piercing sword intent continuously burst forth.

One second!

Two seconds!

Three seconds!

He moved!

His speed was very fast, almost disappearing from his original position in an instant.

The crowd's vision could not keep up with his speed; they could only judge his position based on the direction he moved.

At the moment Piao Jian Sheng made his move, Qin Yuyan also moved.

She bent her waist, gathering momentum to burst forth.

The blade intent left by Ye Xiao was particularly bright in her mind at this moment.

Only in the extreme of life and death could she better perceive and comprehend this blade intent.

The blade is the king of weapons!

No matter who the enemy in front of her was, she would sweep forward with an unstoppable momentum, defeating all!

Although she was a step behind Piao Jian Sheng, the blade momentum easily made up for it.

The crowd only felt the two figures flash, and in the next moment, a shocking explosion erupted throughout the martial arts hall.

Boom!

The massive explosion produced a shockwave that left countless students in awe, their bodies unsteady.

Although people like Du Changfeng were not affected by the shockwave due to their strong cultivation, they were deeply shaken.

Genius is a genius!

The two people, suppressing their cultivation to the Fifth Rank of Martial Artist, could still burst forth with such combat power, easily comparable to the Sixth Rank of Martial Artist and above.

This was a power that ordinary people might not be able to burst forth with even at the limits of their lives.

When the shockwave subsided and the crowd stabilized, Piao Jian Sheng had already reached the position where Qin Yuyan had just stood, and Qin Yuyan had also moved to his previous position, the two standing back to back.

The entire martial arts hall was deathly silent, everyone's eyes wide open, not even daring to breathe, only the sound of their heartbeats echoing in their minds.

One second...

Two seconds...

Three seconds...

Four seconds...

Five seconds...

"Spit!"

Finally, Qin Yuyan spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and fell down.

"Cough, cough..."

A thin stream of fresh blood slowly overflowed from the corner of Piao Jian Sheng's mouth, but he still stood, representing that he had won!

Qin Yuyan had lost, but with only two months of blade cultivation, she had fought against Piao Jian Sheng's twenty years of sword cultivation, and who could say she had not won?

Qin Shenglong and Du Changfeng quickly came to Qin Yuyan's side. Du Changfeng input spiritual energy to heal her and checked her injuries.

"Girl, how are you?"

Qin Shenglong asked with a worried face.

Qin Yuyan smiled apologetically.

"Sorry, Grandpa, I've let you down."

Qin Shenglong tightly held Qin Yuyan's small hand, shaking his head repeatedly, his eyes slightly red with excitement.

"Stupid girl, you did great, you are the pride of our Qin family."

Du Changfeng smiled faintly.

"No major issues, just a bit of disordered qi and blood, no damage to the meridians, a bit of rest and she'll be fine."

Hearing this, Qin Shenglong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Piao Jian Sheng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, slowly walked to Qin Yuyan, and nodded to her.

"Thank you, this is the most meaningful battle I've encountered in the Nine Provinces. If you had practiced the blade for a longer time, perhaps we could have another battle."

Qin Yuyan nodded.

"Thank you for your praise, your sword skills are indeed as famous as they are!"

The two smiled at each other, and the entire hall erupted in thunderous applause.

Whether it was Piao Jian Sheng's strength or Qin Yuyan's effort, both deserved applause.

Afterward, Piao Jian Sheng bid farewell to everyone and left with Director Jin.

His sword challenge would continue.

Until... he met someone who could defeat him!

The video of their match was posted on the forum and quickly became a hot topic.

Qin Yuyan was taken to the Dean's office by her grandfather and Du Changfeng.

"Yuyan, tell Grandpa honestly, who taught you the blade technique? Is it the senior who appeared in our Jianghai City?"

Qin Yuyan nodded.

"I knew it would be him!"

Qin Shenglong punched his left palm, his eyes shining with excitement.

"Where is your master? Take us to see him quickly!"

Qin Yuyan's face showed difficulty.

"I... I don't even know who he is or where he is."

"How is that possible? You are his disciple, and you don't even know who he is?"

Qin Yuyan nodded.

"That day, I was practicing by the river and accidentally witnessed his breakthrough. I begged him to take me as a disciple, but he didn't say a word to me. However, he left a blade intent in my mind. I am slowly comprehending this blade intent, but... my mind might be too dull, and I have only comprehended less than two percent so far."

The two old men were completely stunned, speechless with shock.

Less than two percent of the blade intent could actually improve Qin Yuyan's blade technique to this extent?

This was a bit too overpowered, wasn't it?

After all, Qin Yuyan had only used this tiny bit of blade intent to make Piao Jian Sheng's mouth bleed. If she had a few more percent, wouldn't she be on par with Piao Jian Sheng?

A few more percent of blade intent, and she could even defeat Piao Jian Sheng?

"Truly a great master!"

Du Changfeng couldn't help but sigh deeply.

"Before, I thought he might be a Divine Ancestor, but now, his cultivation is probably above the Divine Ancestor level!"

"What!"

Qin Shenglong exclaimed, his face turning red with excitement.

This was simply unimaginable.

Qin Yuyan had found a top master above the Divine Ancestor level as her master, and the Qin family was truly blessed!

At this moment, Du Changfeng's phone suddenly rang.

He waved his phone, signaling to the grandfather and granddaughter, then walked to the side to answer the call.

Qin Yuyan looked at her grandfather carefully.

"Grandpa, can I practice the blade technique in the future?"

"Of course! From your generation, our Qin family will no longer practice the sword but will focus on the blade. You will fully dedicate yourself to practicing the blade technique, and Grandpa will fully support you!"

Qin Yuyan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, Grandpa."

A moment later, Du Changfeng walked back, his face beaming.

"Guess who called me?"

"Who?"

Qin Shenglong couldn't help but ask, and Du Changfeng responded mysteriously:

"Our Dean! He wants to specially invite Yuyan to study at Kyoto University!"

"Damn!"

Qin Shenglong's beard started to tremble with excitement.

That was Kyoto, the place that all students in the Nine Provinces dream of.

"If I'm not mistaken, soon, other top martial arts colleges in the country will also contact you. This time, Yuyan has truly become famous."

"Good! Good! Good!"

Qin Shenglong excitedly said several "goods" in a row.

"Our Qin family has truly produced a phoenix this time!"
