Three hurried days passed!

Fang Xuan did not leave the house and spent all his time training diligently at home.

"Whoosh!"

That slash tore through the storm like a sharp blade and struck a willow tree in the courtyard. The willow, as thick as an adult's waist, snapped in two with a crack, its power immensely formidable!

Yet Fang Xuan frowned, feeling that it still fell somewhat short.

"It still feels like something's missing..."

Fang Xuan was somewhat dissatisfied with his blade-drawing technique. He always felt that something was lacking.

It was not sharp enough!

Right! It lacked momentum!

It lacked that unstoppable, forward-driving spirit!

A swordsman could roam the world with nothing but a single blade!

Fang Xuan suddenly understood. Practicing his blade-drawing technique against lifeless objects would make it difficult to cultivate that kind of Saber Intent. He needed to find a few worthy opponents in order to forge his own unique "intent"!

"What kind of dump is this? It's so run-down. Lingling, does the person you mentioned really live here?!"

At that moment, a sweetly seductive voice suddenly drifted in from outside the courtyard.

Fang Xuan raised an eyebrow and saw two stunning young women walking hand in hand toward the entrance, looking exceptionally close.

Both girls were incomparably beautiful. Walking side by side, they looked like the most beautiful sight in the entire academy!

The one on the left was slightly older, around seventeen or eighteen. Her short purple hair framed a pair of long, narrow, captivating eyes that carried a hint of seduction. With her exquisite features and slender, serpentine figure, she was enchantingly charming, like a beautiful viper brought to life!

This purple-haired girl was none other than one of Heaven Dou Academy's genius girls—Dugu Yan!

The other girl had silver hair and wore a black dress. Her cold eyes held no trace of emotion, and she possessed the elegant, unworldly grace of a green lotus.

The silver-haired girl was naturally Ye Lingling.

Ye Lingling was not wearing her black veil today. Her tender cheeks were slightly baby-fat, giving her an adorably chubby appearance. Paired with her petite, delicate figure, she looked both beautiful and cute, exceptionally eye-catching.

Trouble had come knocking!

Upon seeing the two beauties at his door, Fang Xuan felt no joy or excitement. Instead, his heart sank, and he frowned instinctively, sensing that nothing good would come of this.

"Hi! Fang Xuan, good morning!"

Standing before the threshold, a faint blush rested on Ye Lingling's chubby little face. Gathering her courage, she waved at Fang Xuan and greeted him warmly.

Fang Xuan remained silent. He strode toward Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan, then, under the astonished gazes of the two beauties, slammed the gate shut!

The movement was smooth and decisive, without the slightest hesitation. He even slid the iron bolt into place!

"Uh..."

Staring at the tightly closed gate, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling froze, gradually turning to stone outside the door.

"Ah! What kind of person is this? He has no manners at all!"

After a while, Dugu Yan was the first to explode. Her seductive face twisted in exasperation. Ever since she was young, countless boys had pursued her, yet she had never bothered to acknowledge any of them. Now, she had taken the initiative to visit a boy's home, only to be turned away at the door?!!

This was outrageous!

Dugu Yan threw a young lady's tantrum, hands on her devilish slender waist as she said angrily to Ye Lingling, "Lingling, this is your lifesaver? The sweetheart you've been thinking about all these days? Why did he shut you out too!"

"Yanyan, don't talk nonsense. When did I ever say he was the one I liked?!" Ye Lingling's pretty face reddened as she glared at Dugu Yan in annoyance.

"You never said it, but someone as smart as me saw through your little thoughts long ago!"

Dugu Yan snorted smugly. Then she turned to the somewhat rotten wooden gate, and her anger flared up again. She immediately kicked the gate open.

Once the gate opened, she saw Fang Xuan practicing with his blade alone in the courtyard, completely ignoring the two of them.

"Hey! You're Fang Xuan, right?!"

With one hand on her slender waist, Dugu Yan walked gracefully up to Fang Xuan. Her large eyes widened as she glared fiercely at him. "I heard you're quite strong. First, you killed a Thousand-Year Soul Beast with one slash, and then you defeated Long Aotian and Ye Liangchen one after another. Though those two brothers are just trash, it's clear that you do have some skill!"

Fang Xuan's face remained cold as he stared silently at Dugu Yan, having no idea what this snake woman wanted.

"Hmph!"

Dugu Yan swept her gaze over the broken wooden stakes and trees around them, the corners of her lips curling upward slightly. "Fang Xuan, practicing with your blade alone looks pretty boring. How about a match? Let this young lady teach you how to behave at the academy!"

Before her words had even faded, Dugu Yan's Soul Power erupted, her dress fluttering wildly!

Yellow, yellow, purple!

Three brilliant Soul Rings rose from beneath her feet. A powerful aura burst forth like a raging storm sweeping in all directions, making the entire courtyard tremble!

"Soul Elder!!"

Fang Xuan froze for a moment, then the corners of his lips lifted slightly. His eyes shone with excitement as he said, "Alright!"
