Walk Your Own Sword Path, Reach the Peak of Sword Dao, and Begin Archery Training!

Guang Yu's final words echoed in everyone's ears.

He coolly put away his bow, turned, and left.

Leaving behind only that powerful silhouette.

"This guy is a monster..."

Xie Yue and Yan's legs gave out, and they collapsed to the ground, feeling as though they had survived a disaster.

Their gazes, along with Hu Liena's, followed Guang Yu's retreating back, filled with deep wariness.

At that moment.

They completely understood that the genius before them was no longer on the same level as them, and they no longer dared to provoke him.

They had lost completely!

The gap between them would only grow wider in the future, until they could only look up at him.

Before Guang Yu, so-called geniuses like them seemed dim and ordinary.

At that moment, the hidden Bibi Dong's expression darkened to the extreme. She clenched her fists tightly. "He has actually completely resolved the backlash of the Ice Divine Bow Martial Soul, and his Soul Power has astonishingly reached Level 19."

"What exactly did this brat experience to undergo such an enormous change?"

"Damn it. Such an unparalleled genius belongs to the Worship Hall. If he is given enough time to grow, he will definitely become a threat in the future."

Bibi Dong stared coldly at Guang Yu's back, a trace of killing intent even flashing through her eyes. "Forget it. By the time he grows up, I will have already realized my ambitions!"

Though he was monstrous, Bibi Dong still did not take him too seriously.

She withdrew her thoughts, turned, and left.

After this battle, the news quickly spread throughout the Pope's Palace.

Guang Yu became famous in a single battle at the Pope's Palace, shocking countless powerful Soul Masters there.

He was soon given the title of unparalleled genius.

Naturally, news of Guang Yu crushing Xie Yue and Yan in a one-against-two battle quickly reached the Worship Hall.

The next day, Guang Yu was summoned by Qian Daoliu.

At that moment, within the Worship Hall.

The Seven Great High Priests had gathered.

Qian Daoliu asked with a smile, "Guang Yu, I heard that you defeated Xie Yue and Yan yesterday, and even completely suppressed both of them in close combat. It seems you have mastered about thirty percent of the swordsmanship I taught you, yes?"

"Come, show us. Let me take a look."

Clearly, Qian Daoliu and the others had also learned certain details about Guang Yu's battle with Xie Yue and Yan the previous day.

"Alright, Great Enshrined."

Guang Yu nodded and summoned his Light God Sword Martial Soul.

He performed that set of sword techniques once before the Seven Great High Priests.

Watching Guang Yu dance with his sword alone in the hall, Qian Daoliu was utterly stunned. "Th-this! You... you!"

The other six Worship Elders were equally astonished.

Though they did not know much about swordsmanship or Sword Dao, Guang Yu's movements and combinations flowed as smoothly as drifting clouds and flowing water. His techniques connected seamlessly, without a single unnecessary motion.

They knew that Guang Yu had already practically mastered the sword technique Qian Daoliu had given him.

That was absurdly impressive!

"This kid is incredible!"

The other Six Great High Priests cried out inwardly.

"Impossible...?"

Qian Daoliu was even more shocked. His eyes shone as he watched Guang Yu, and when Guang Yu's final sword strike fell, he became excited.

"Child, you... in merely three days, you have already completely grasped the essence of the sword technique I gave you?"

Guang Yu rested his sword behind his back and smiled. "Yes, Great Enshrined. Though, to be precise, it was two and a half days."

Qian Daoliu drew in a sharp breath. "Hiss! Two and a half days!"

"Genius! This child is an unparalleled Sword Dao Genius!"

He knew Guang Yu's talent in Sword Dao was extremely high, but he had not expected it to be this high.

He had thought Guang Yu would have mastered at most thirty percent of that sword technique, because thirty percent was already enough to suppress children under ten like Xie Yue and Yan in close combat.

Yet in two and a half days, he had mastered the technique completely?

What kind of monster was this?

In Qian Daoliu's view, even the most talented person should have needed a month.

After completely mastering this sword technique, Guang Yu's basic combat ability was already very strong. Combined with the power of his Extreme Attribute, he was nearly invincible within the Soul Grandmaster realm.

Even against a low-level Soul Elder, he had the power to kill.

But compared to a Soul Ancestor, he was still far from sufficient!

Besides breaking through to the second ring and becoming stronger, Guang Yu also needed to strengthen his abilities in other areas.

Only then would he be absolutely confident of solo-killing a five-thousand-year Soul Beast after becoming a Soul Grandmaster.

Thus, while he had the chance to meet Qian Daoliu, Guang Yu took the initiative and said, "Great Enshrined, can I experience your Sword Intent again? I think it will allow my understanding of Sword Dao and my Sword Intent to improve faster."

However, Qian Daoliu shook his head. "No, child."

"My Sword Intent can only lead you into Sword Dao."

"Now that you have grasped your own Sword Intent, you should not continue being influenced by my Sword Dao."

"Although continuing to experience my Sword Intent would indeed allow you to gain insight and break through faster, this shortcut would only cause your Sword Dao to be deeply influenced by mine. It would greatly affect your future limit in Sword Dao."

"One walks the Sword Dao alone. If you wish to become a top Sword Dao expert, you must walk your own Sword Dao!"

"You cannot keep being influenced by one person's Sword Dao. Otherwise, the limit of your future path in Sword Dao would be, at most, reaching my level. With your talent, only by walking your own Sword Dao and continuously deepening your understanding of it can you reach the peak of Sword Dao!"

Qian Daoliu's Sword Dao was too profound, while Guang Yu's comprehension was too strong. He could not let him continue gaining insights from his Sword Intent.

Especially for someone who had only just entered Sword Dao, whose own Sword Dao had yet to take shape.

Too much exposure would inevitably affect him.

Qian Daoliu's words echoed in his ears one by one. Guang Yu nodded solemnly. "I understand. I will walk my own Sword Dao."

What he meant was only that Guang Yu could not continually comprehend one person's Sword Dao; it did not mean he could not comprehend the Sword Dao of others.

Qian Daoliu then offered a suggestion. "However, you can spar and fight with different Sword Cultivators and Sword Dao experts. From other Sword Dao experts' understanding of Sword Dao, you can experience, comprehend, and strengthen your own Sword Dao."

"I understand. Thank you for your guidance, Great Enshrined."

At that moment, Guang Ling said, "Alright, alright, Little Yu Yu. Since you have already mastered the sword technique the Great Enshrined gave you, it is time for me to teach you archery."

Anticipation appeared on Guang Yu's face. "Granduncle, when do we begin?"

"Now!"

"Come with me!"

Guang Ling smiled proudly.

He led Guang Yu toward the place where he usually trained in seclusion.

"Finally, I can begin training in archery." Guang Yu followed behind him with great anticipation.

A moment later, they arrived at Guang Ling Douluo's secluded training grounds.

It was still within the Worship Hall.

Yet this space was an enormous Martial Soul Mimic Training Ground, the entire area covered in a world of ice and snow.

It made Guang Yu feel as though he had entered the Far North.

He was rather stunned. "What an extravagant setup. As expected of the Martial Soul Mimic Training Ground where Worship Elders cultivate in seclusion. It cannot compare at all to the mimic training grounds of core disciples!"

He followed Guang Ling into this land of ice and fire, feeling as though he had truly entered it.
