Sword Dao Comprehension Max Level, Saint Artifact · Taiyan Sword

Dongfang Xuetong's words fell like a massive stone, stirring up a tempest in everyone's hearts.

Was the Lotus Sword Emperor really going to take such a good-for-nothing as a disciple?

For a moment, no one could comprehend it.

With the Lotus Sword Emperor's profound cultivation at the Emperor Tier, even if she went back on her word, no one would say anything.

Furthermore, when taking on disciples, one naturally sought those with high cultivation aptitude and powerful talent, not a useless person like Xiao Yao.

Therefore, unless they were deliberately argumentative, no one would think there was anything wrong with the Lotus Sword Emperor changing her mind.

Shātu Demon Sage Zhu Ding watched this scene unfold, his expression exceptionally solemn.

In his opinion, if the Lotus Sword Emperor went back on her word, it would undoubtedly become a stain on her reputation.

Even the smallest stain could become a topic for others to attack.

Since that was the case, it would be better to take this good-for-nothing as a disciple. After all, it wasn't specified which disciple would compete against Wang Teng back then.

Brilliant!

Unfortunately, Dongfang Xuetong hadn't thought that far ahead yet.

It was all Zhu Ding's wild imagination.

At the same time, Xiao Yao casually set down his precious sword and quickly cupped his hands.

"Disciple Xiao Yao greets Master!"

No excessive joy, nor subservience; his composure was too mature!

Just this point alone made Dongfang Xuetong feel she had struck gold.

After all, no matter how high one's cultivation aptitude or how strong their talent, once their Dao heart became unstable, they would either suffer qi deviation or die from a blood rush.

She had seen too many such incidents since she began her cultivation journey!

[Beep! Congratulations to the host for completing the quest: Take on a disciple!]

[Congratulations on obtaining the Saint Artifact · Taiyan Sword]

[Congratulations on obtaining Sword Dao Comprehension (Human Realm Max Level)]

"Human Realm Max Level? What does that mean?" Xiao Yao asked curiously in his heart.

[Beep! Human Realm refers to the sum of all cultivation realms currently known to the host.]

[Therefore, Sword Dao Comprehension (Human Realm Max Level) means that within the Human Realm, you possess max-level comprehension for anything related to the Sword Dao.]

"Although I still can't fully understand it, it sounds very powerful."

Just then, a deep, resonant male voice rang out.

"Lotus Sword Emperor, you may not know this, but this child is a well-known good-for-nothing within a radius of ten thousand miles of Xuanzhou City. Taking someone like him as a disciple will surely make you a laughingstock to countless people."

"Moreover, even I, who possess the Primordial Desolate Sacred Body and possess Saint tier cultivation aptitude, couldn't draw this precious sword. How could he, a nobody, draw it? Therefore, he must have used some underhanded trick."

Xiao Yao didn't turn around; he already knew the speaker was Ye Feng.

The first part of his statement was quite reasonable.

But the latter part was purely venting his envy and jealousy.

"That's right! Young Clan Leader Ye is correct. Please, Sword Emperor, do not take this child as a disciple."

"Please, Sword Emperor, do not take this child as a disciple!"

The voices rose one after another, wave after wave, sounding magnificent and shocking.

Zhu Ding's expression grew solemn again. With the crowd's pleas, the Lotus Sword Emperor could easily use it as an excuse to not take this good-for-nothing as a disciple.

In that case, the one who would bear the blame wouldn't be the Lotus Sword Emperor, but these petitioners.

It might even become a beautiful story.

Dongfang Xuetong didn't reply immediately. Instead, she glanced at Xiao Yao and saw his nonchalant expression.

Did this child not fear she would go back on her word?

The answer was indeed no, because Xiao Yao had already received the quest rewards.

Coupled with the fact that he could grow stronger just by signing in daily, having a master was merely adding icing to the cake.

Interesting!

This Emperor wants to know why you aren't afraid?

Dongfang Xuetong's lips curved into a slight arc, a smile born of interest.

"Everyone, this Emperor understands your feelings."

"But this is a rule this Emperor has set. If this Emperor doesn't uphold it, wouldn't that make this Emperor a person of broken promises?"

"Even if you think it's excusable, this Emperor cannot forgive herself."

Instantly, the increasingly loud pleas came to an abrupt halt.

Ye Feng's face turned ashen. He had absolutely not expected the Lotus Sword Emperor to be so resolute.

Zhu Ding was overjoyed inwardly, having already informed the Lord via spiritual sense transmission.

The Lord had stated that as long as the Lotus Sword Emperor did not go back on her word, then the one who would duel Wang Teng would definitely be the good-for-nothing Xiao Yao.

Originally, he had been wondering how to make the Lotus Sword Emperor persist.

Now, it seemed he didn't need to say a word or resort to any underhanded tactics.

"But he's a good-for-nothing who can't cultivate!"

"For him to become your disciple is an insult to you!"

Ye Feng gritted his white teeth, his sword-like eyebrows furrowed, his starry eyes filled with rage as if they might burst.

[Beep! Sensing the surrounding people's insults and jealousy towards the host, a mission is issued: Expose the Chaos Body]

[Mission Reward: Venerable Tier Grand Formation · Heavenly Net]

Hearing this mission, Xiao Yao was speechless and thought silently, "System, I haven't even confirmed if this Lotus Sword Emperor genuinely wants to take me as a disciple yet. If I expose the Chaos Body now, won't I have to be on guard everywhere in the future?"

[Beep! If you don't do this, how will these people know how amazing the host is? Moreover, with this System here, it won't be easy for any Emperor Tier cultivator to harm you.]

At this moment, Dongfang Xuetong waved her slender hand, and a fruit with a light green small vortex appeared.

The fruity aroma filled the air, quickly spreading throughout the entire Ascension Avenue.

"This is a Saint Tier Profound Dry Fruit. It's said that after eating it, even a mortal with no cultivation aptitude or talent can obtain Saint Tier cultivation aptitude."

At this moment, Ye Feng's eyes widened. He hadn't expected that his own Saint Tier cultivation aptitude, which he was so proud of, would only be equivalent to the effect of a single fruit for the Lotus Sword Emperor.

Is this the foundation of an Ancient Great Emperor?

Truly profound!

Xiao Yao's eyes were filled with disbelief. He was, on the surface, just a good-for-nothing, and there was no need for her to treat him so well.

From another perspective, the Lotus Sword Emperor was determined to take him as a disciple.

Since that was the case, why should he continue to hide the fact that he possessed the Chaos Body?

"Master, I don't need to consume this fruit."

As soon as he said this, Ye Feng burst into laughter, "Hahaha! Young Clan Leader Xiao, I know you want to show you're not a waste, but you don't need to express it this way!"

"That's right! Brother Xiao Yao, you've endured humiliation for so many years, and now you're finally about to break through. Why act so high and mighty at this moment?" Xiao Ting said.

When Xiao Yao drew his treasured sword, he was stunned!

Although he now had a Saint Realm Master, he felt utterly powerless facing the Lotus Sword Emperor.

At this moment, he finally had an opportunity to speak.

Based on his understanding of Xiao Yao, his words would make Xiao Yao appear even more aloof, thus refusing the Profound Dry Fruit without leaving himself any room for retreat.

This move would surely anger the well-intentioned Lotus Sword Emperor, and perhaps in her anger, she would even dismiss Xiao Yao as her disciple.

How brilliant!

Just as he thought this, Xiao Ting felt an unusually terrifying gaze.

He looked in the direction of the gaze and found it was his Master whom he had recently taken – Zhu Ding.

Master... what does this mean?
