Prodigy

In the last moment, Han Fei and Qi Xuanxuan were both sent flying back by the shockwave of the explosion.

However, Qi Xuanxuan was quite shocked that Han Fei could actually unleash the third stance. Han Fei, on the other hand, wasn't surprised at all.

This also caused Qi Xuanxuan to react slower. Before she could stabilize her body, the broken sword tip was already reaching her face.

At this moment, Han Fei hadn't stabilized his body either, but the surrounding spiritual energy was no longer violent, allowing Han Fei to use Void Walking.

In that instant, Han Fei's speed surpassed the short sword. As the short sword reached Qi Xuanxuan, he grabbed the blade with his left hand.

Qi Xuanxuan, still shaken, saw Han Fei's hand holding the short sword in front of her face. Blood was flowing from both sides of the blade.

Dropping his left hand, Han Fei turned and walked towards Taihe Peak.

The Elder Judge reacted, "This, this match, Han Fei of Taihe Peak wins."

Although Han Fei won, the people from Taihe Peak did not cheer as they usually did. Instead, they all stood up and began to applaud Han Fei.

Following Taihe Peak's lead, people from other main peaks also started applauding Han Fei. Some of them liked Han Fei, as he had gained countless fans in this Thirty-Three Peaks Martial Arts Tournament.

There were also those who hated Han Fei, such as the main peaks he had defeated. But regardless of their feelings, Han Fei deserved their applause at this moment. Even the disciples of the undefeated Tongtian Main Peak were no exception.

The applause from the entire venue was for Han Fei, because Han Fei had given them a different visual experience. Of course, another reason for the general approval was that Han Fei prioritized his opponent's safety in a moment of danger.

After all, Qi Xuanxuan was the goddess in many people's hearts, and Han Fei's actions could be considered saving the goddess. Although they didn't understand how Han Fei managed it. The two were nearly twenty meters apart, and Han Fei's speed in that instant was like teleportation.

At this moment, Qi Xiaotian was not sitting but standing at the edge of the spectator stands. He had wanted to intervene in that moment, but he was nearly a hundred meters away from the arena. Even if he had acted, he might not have been able to save her. Fortunately, everything ended without further incident.

However, another question arose in Qi Xiaotian's mind: how did Han Fei do it? Although Qi Xiaotian didn't understand, there was one thing he knew: after unleashing his speed, Han Fei's spiritual energy was depleted. He couldn't sense any trace of spiritual energy from Han Fei at this moment.

He sighed slightly and pressed his hands down, signaling for everyone to quiet down. "Was this session's martial arts tournament exciting?" Qi Xiaotian asked.

"Exciting!"

The answer came almost in unison. Qi Xiaotian continued, "However, I need to pause this Thirty-Three Peaks Martial Arts Tournament. First, it is already late at night. Second, there are a few matters that need to be investigated clearly."

"All peak masters can lead their disciples to find a place to stay anywhere on Tongtian Peak. The Peak Master of Taihe Peak will bring Han Fei to see me in an hour."

Daoist Sanyuan bowed, "Yes, Sect Leader Brother."

With a whoosh, after Qi Xiaotian left, the surrounding disciples immediately started discussing. The area was like a boiling pot.

Heran and Du Kun supported the weak Han Fei. Daoist Sanyuan nodded with satisfaction, "You are truly the hero of our Taihe Peak this time. Rest and recover first, and I'll take you to see the Sect Leader later. Don't worry, I'll take the blame if anything happens. I can also testify for Fu Jiahao's matter."

Han Fei nodded. He desperately needed to rest. The battle with Qi Xuanxuan made Han Fei understand what exhaustion was. Of course, it was also partly because Han Fei couldn't go all out. Otherwise, even someone at the Sixth Level of the Innate Realm wouldn't have been so thoroughly suppressed.

An hour later, Han Fei's spiritual energy had recovered more than half, and his body had regained its strength. Led by Daoist Sanyuan, he headed to the Tongtian Hall.

In the Tongtian Hall at this moment, Qi Xuanxuan was lying quietly on the Sect Leader's seat, as if she were asleep.

Han Fei felt tired after the battle, and Qi Xuanxuan was not relaxed either.

After the fierce battle, Qi Xuanxuan's spirit relaxed, and she fainted shortly after.

Of course, her spiritual power was not completely depleted. The reason for this was likely a combination of fatigue and shock.

"You're here? Sit down."

Qi Xiaotian had his back to the door, but he heard the footsteps and knew Han Fei and the others had arrived.

Daoist Sanyuan and Han Fei sat on the side chairs.

Qi Xiaotian asked, "Han Fei, how did you learn the Dragon Slaying Sword Art? Please answer truthfully."

Han Fei cupped his fists, "Disciple was training in the Tianyuan Mountain Range and by chance saw Xuanxuan... ah, Young Lady use it once. She used the third stance, Dragon Slayer, to kill a Jade Scale Snake Demon. So, disciple studied the sword moves used by Young Lady and comprehended the three stances of the Dragon Slaying Sword Art."

Qi Xiaotian frowned, "You comprehended it yourself?"

Han Fei nodded, "Although the Dragon Slaying Sword Art I use is similar to Young Lady's, I believe there are significant differences in the energy circulation methods and the attributes of the moves."

Qi Xiaotian nodded. Judging by the Dragon Slaying Sword Art Han Fei used, it was indeed different from Qi Xuanxuan's, but its appearance was extremely similar, and the characteristics of the moves were the same.

Dazzling, graceful, making the opponent unable to track the trajectory – these were the essential elements of the Dragon Slaying Sword Art. Han Fei had mastered all of these and performed them even better.

Could Han Fei's comprehension truly be this high? Throughout history, learning others' martial arts is ultimately learning from others. Only what one creates oneself is truly one's own. And Han Fei, at the Innate Realm, can comprehend his own sword moves?

Qi Xiaotian gazed into Han Fei's eyes, trying to see if he was lying, while thinking in his heart.

After a long while, Qi Xiaotian sighed, "A heaven-sent genius, truly a heaven-sent genius."

In the Primordial Group, the Yellow Emperor roared, "Heaven-sent genius my ass! How could someone at the Innate Realm create a sword art himself? I taught him, I taught him..."

Chiyou sighed, "Can you be quiet? This low-level sword technique, what are you so proud of?"

Just then, the group notification sounded.

"Group member Yellow Emperor's points have reached one thousand. Please continue to work hard."

The Yellow Emperor was stunned, "Points? What points?"

No one answered the Yellow Emperor's question, but Han Fei explained, "Points are your contribution. It seems your help to me wasn't in vain. Reaching a certain level of points must have its purpose."

Fuxi said, "It seems the Yellow Emperor taught you the Dragon Slaying Sword Art, and this sword art has been recognized, which is why he received points, right?"

The other Ancient Gods agreed, all believing this was the case.

Chiyou said, "It seems I need to do something too. Maybe reaching a certain level of points can allow me to be resurrected."

The Yellow Emperor retorted, "You? Even if you were resurrected, you would be a scourge to this world. It's better for you to stay here peacefully."

Chiyou couldn't be bothered to reply to him. He began to sort through his memories, searching for anything that might be helpful to Han Fei at his current stage.

In the Tongtian Hall outside, Qi Xiaotian, who had been silent for a while, suddenly asked, "Since you figured out the Dragon Slaying Sword Art yourself, I won't pry further. Tell me about you and Fu Jiahao. You two seem strange."

Han Fei sighed and recounted the entire incident to Qi Xiaotian from beginning to end.

Snap! Qi Xiaotian slammed his hand on the table and stood up, shouting in anger, "Are you sure? The man in black that night was Fu Jiahao?"

Daoist Sanyuan beside him nodded, "Although I didn't see his face, I recognize Fu Jiahao's sword. It's the same soft sword used by the man in black that night. The blade was covered in marks, and the sword was as soft as paper. Moreover, during the fight just now, he indirectly admitted it."

Qi Xiaotian's chest heaved. He looked at Daoist Sanyuan and said, "Are the hidden guards of your Taihe Peak just for show? How did he manage to enter and leave Taihe Peak so smoothly?"

Daoist Sanyuan lowered his head, "It was my dereliction of duty. I beg the Sect Master for punishment."

Han Fei, standing nearby, said, "I suspect he has people inside Taihe Peak. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy. He wouldn't have been able to pass the restrictions alone."

Qi Xiaotian took a deep breath. "Although I believe both of you, we still need Jiahao to confront you directly. If it really was him, then he's dead. He won't get away with harming a fellow disciple."

"Of course, if there's been a misunderstanding, I will handle it fairly and give Jiahao justice."

With that, Qi Xiaotian roared towards the outside, "Guards, bring Fu Jiahao here."

The hidden guards outside immediately left, but it took half an hour.

Qi Xiaotian frowned, "Why is it taking so long?"

Daoist Sanyuan said, "It's the middle of the night. It might be a bit troublesome for the hidden guards to search."

At this moment, the hidden guards returned.

"Reporting to the Sect Master, we've searched the entire Tongtian Peak and found no trace of Fu Jiahao. We also sent transmission talismans, but received no reply."

Qi Xiaotian roared, "He's gone? Could Fu Jiahao have actually left the Tianyuan Divine Sect?"

Han Fei nodded, "Sect Master is right. It's entirely possible he has already left the Tianyuan Divine Sect."

Qi Xiaotian stood there, stunned, then slowly calmed down.
