Qian Daoliu moved through the sword dance very slowly, and Jiang Yuan studied very earnestly.
Within the Dragon-Phoenix inheritance was a sword technique called the Dragon-Slaying Sword, capable of killing any true dragon whose bloodline strength was inferior to one's own.
Even when it was not used against true dragons, it still dealt tremendous damage to other enemies.
To execute this move with ease and freedom, fundamental swordsmanship was just as important.
"Did you see it clearly?"
In the blink of an eye, Qian Daoliu had finished demonstrating the sword technique. He looked at Jiang Yuan and Qian Renxue, who had been watching intently, and asked in a grave voice.
Qian Daoliu's gaze fell on Jiang Yuan. Qian Renxue had already laid her foundation; today's focus was mainly Jiang Yuan's cultivation progress.
"I saw it clearly!" Jiang Yuan ran through the sword moves Qian Daoliu had just performed in his mind, then nodded seriously.
"Try it."
Qian Daoliu raised a brow, casually picked up a longsword, and handed it to Jiang Yuan as he spoke softly.
Jiang Yuan took the longsword and, under Qian Renxue's encouraging gaze, walked to the center of the field.
Buzz!
With a thrust of his sword, Qian Daoliu, standing at the edge of the field, furrowed his brow, a flash of surprise passing through his eyes.
And as Jiang Yuan continued practicing the sword technique, that surprise deepened bit by bit, until in the end it almost made him question his own understanding of life.
Jiang Yuan had not only perfectly replicated the basic sword technique, he had also comprehended the state of unity between man and nature that Qian Daoliu had just displayed.
One had to know that many Titled Douluo had not comprehended this state.
Yet Jiang Yuan, a little fellow who had only just awakened, could actually reach this step?
"As expected of the Child of God. He defies common sense!" Qian Daoliu could not help murmuring under his breath.
"Grandpa, what did you say?"
Qian Renxue withdrew her admiring gaze from Jiang Yuan and looked at Qian Daoliu, asking curiously.
"Nothing."
Qian Daoliu shook his head and reached out to pat the top of Qian Renxue's head.
"Jiang Yuan's talent is extremely high. Xue'er, you must also cultivate diligently in the future."
"Don't worry, Grandpa. I won't let Little Yuan surpass me," Qian Renxue said with a nod, full of motivation.
"Great Worship, how did I do?"
At this moment, Jiang Yuan had already finished performing the sword technique. He walked over and asked curiously.
"Jiang Yuan, have you practiced swordsmanship before?"
Qian Daoliu looked at Jiang Yuan, whose face was filled with a thirst for knowledge, and truly could not hold back the thoughts in his heart as he asked.
"No. Today was my first day touching a sword!" Jiang Yuan shook his head and answered truthfully.
Before his martial soul had awakened, he had not even known what his martial soul was. How could he have wasted time practicing swordsmanship?
What if the martial soul he awakened was a saber, or a shield?
Not to mention, there was also the mission involving the Immortal Herb Catalog waiting for him to tackle.
Getting Chrysanthemum Douluo to teach him everything he knew within a year had not relied solely on one year of effort.
From the moment he had started learning to read, he had begun preparing for this.
"If you had a sword martial soul, then the title of number one sword on the continent in the future would undoubtedly belong to you."
After hearing Jiang Yuan's answer, Qian Daoliu did not reply immediately. After thinking for a moment, he spoke seriously.
Jiang Yuan nodded and said nothing more, as though he did not care about any of this at all.
He continued to devote himself to practicing basic swordsmanship.
"Xue'er, have you encountered anything you don't understand in your recent cultivation..."
After completing his cultivation with Qian Daoliu in the morning, Jiang Yuan went to Spirit Hall's Talent Training Camp in the afternoon according to Qian Xunji's arrangement.
As for this arrangement, the various worshipers had no objections.
After all, experts were not produced by shutting themselves away and working in isolation. Appropriate exchange was even more beneficial to Jiang Yuan's growth.
Spirit Hall's Talent Training Camp gathered ninety percent of the geniuses on the continent each year who came from clean backgrounds.
These people generally had innate soul power above rank six, and possessed the potential to grow into Soul Emperors in the future.
After the people inside cultivated to rank thirty, they would graduate and enter the various grassroots levels of Spirit Hall to undergo tempering.
It could be said that every year's graduating students were an important source of Spirit Hall's backbone forces.
The outer perimeter of the Talent Training Camp was a high wall, and the entrance was built from massive stones.
The gate was imposing, majestic, and broad.
And every half hour, soldiers on duty would patrol. The defenses of the entire training camp were as solid as a fortress. For an ordinary person to sneak in here was practically impossible!
After walking inside, one could see bluestone paths paired with the pleasant scenery of lush green trees, a sight that pleased the eye.
Jiang Yuan was led by Snake Spear Douluo into the building at the center of the training camp.
"Scott, the Pope has given orders to send the student Jiang Yuan into camp for training. This is the written order from the Pope."
Scott, dressed in a black instructor's uniform, froze for a moment when he saw Snake Spear Douluo, then looked at the written order the other man handed over.
"Greetings, Your Eminence!"
Scott hurriedly stood and bowed, then took the written order and quickly looked it over. A moment later, he looked at Snake Spear Douluo with some difficulty.
"Your Eminence, everyone who enters the training camp has strict graduation requirements. If Jiang Yuan only stays in the training camp for half a day each day, and it delays his cultivation in the future and affects his graduation..."
Scott glanced somewhat cautiously at Snake Spear Douluo and Jiang Yuan. In his mind, Jiang Yuan had already been categorized as some young master type.
People like that were the hardest to serve.
They were not especially strong, but their ability to cause trouble was absolutely top-notch.
"You don't need to worry about that. This is Jiang Yuan's awakening status."
"Jiang Yuan will cultivate in the Consecrated Hall in the mornings. Do you think the Consecrated Hall's teaching ability can't keep up with the training camp's pace?"
Snake Spear Douluo gave Scott a sidelong glance, then handed him a copy of Jiang Yuan's public awakening report.
Name: Jiang Yuan. Age: Six. Martial Soul: Void Ancient Dragon. Soul Power: Innate Soul Power Rank 10.
Scott's attitude instantly took a complete one-eighty, and he looked at Jiang Yuan with a beaming smile.
"Your subordinate naturally would not dare question the Consecrated Hall's teaching standards. The training camp will strictly carry out the Pope's orders and process Jiang Yuan's enrollment at once."
With the chief instructor personally coordinating matters, Jiang Yuan finished all the enrollment procedures in the time it took to drink a cup of tea.
He was also assigned an independent little courtyard as his place to stay.
He heard that independent courtyards were prepared for the top-ranked talents in the training camp who also possessed Soul Elder-level strength.
For Jiang Yuan to be arranged to live here as soon as he arrived was bound to draw other people's dissatisfaction.
But Jiang Yuan did not care.
Although his cultivation was only Rank 13, he did not think he was weaker than anyone in the training camp.
Just as Jiang Yuan finished putting his things away, he suddenly heard a burst of noise outside.
"Qiangu Xingchen, I'm warning you one more time. Stay away from Nana from now on."
"Tch! Who do you think you are? You dare meddle in my business? What is Nana to you? Does she need you to make decisions for her?"
"Qiangu Xingchen!"
"Don't think I don't know what you're planning. I'm warning you, Nana isn't someone you can match."
"I'm not good enough? Are you, then? A lucky poor brat!"
"Bastard!"
The shouting grew louder and louder, followed by the sounds of a fight.
There was drama to watch!
A gleam of gossip flashed in Jiang Yuan's eyes. With a movement, he opened the door and rushed toward the direction of the fight.
In order to catch the first-hand scoop, he even used the power of space, leaving an afterimage behind where he stood.
