He is the instructor with the highest level of Sword Dao in the inner court of the Cangxuan Academy.
Yao Zhun naturally possessed his own pride.
To have two juniors tell him in front of all the students that his swordsmanship demonstration was subpar? Where did that leave his pride?
Even if he doesn't care about saving face, how will he establish authority in front of these students in the future? Without authority, how can he convince them to preach to these arrogant kids?
At the same time.
The sword cultivators present all tensed up.
As the Xuanyuan Clan, the foremost Aristocratic Clan in Sword Dao, and with Xuanyuan Che currently ranked fourth on the Cangxuan Ranking, being the top young talent of the Xuanyuan Clan, they naturally couldn't criticize Xuanyuan Che verbally.
Firstly, because the other party truly possessed strength and resources; secondly, because the Xuanyuan Clan was simply not to be trifled with.
He then turned his sinister gaze to Ye Qiubai.
Who do you think you are? How dare you look down on Lecturer Yao?
"Instructor Yao is the number one swordsmanship instructor in our Cangxuan Academy court. But that's normal; someone like you from a barbarian land would definitely not understand Instructor Yao's swordsmanship."
For a moment, everyone's firepower was focused on Ye Qiubai alone.
However, despite having said the same thing as Ye Qiubai, Xuanyuan Che did not offer any help to Ye Qiubai in his predicament. Instead, he watched Ye Qiubai with great interest, seemingly wanting to see how Ye Qiubai would handle such a situation.
Despite these words, Ye Qiubai showed no anger; his expression remained calm, with a faint smile on his lips.
Xu Yeming then said from the side, "Senior Brother, let me help you?"
Ye Qiubai waved his hand with a smile and said, "Never mind, if Junior Brother Xu were to speak up, they'd probably be eager to make a move."
He had witnessed Xu Yeming was.
At this moment, Yao Zhun sheathed his sword, looked at Ye Qiubai in the distance, took a deep breath, and said, "Since the exchange student from the Azure Firmament Academy thinks my swordsmanship just now was inadequate, you must have some understanding of the Cangxuan Sword Technique, right? In that case, why don't you come here and demonstrate it?"
Ye Qiubai initially didn't want to pay any attention to it.
But Yao Zhun's tone shifted abruptly, and he sneered, "This is a good opportunity for me to see just how strong the students of the Azure Firmament Academy really are, and whether the title of the top student in the Six Realms Academy Exchange is truly deserved or not."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qiubai raised an eyebrow.
If it were only directed at him, he probably wouldn't bother with it.
For Ye Qiubai, the verbal provocations he received had absolutely no effect.
However... the other party seemed to understand this very well, and directly pointed the finger at the Azure Firmament Academy.
If Ye Qiubai were to back down here...
This would demonstrate that Azure Firmament Academy is indeed incompetent and will inevitably be looked down upon by the other party. If such rumors were to spread, it would negatively impact the development and reputation of the Azure Firmament Academy.
That's what I've been thinking about.
Ye Qiubai shrugged and leaped up to Yao Zhun's side.
Seeing this, Yao Zhun tossed his sword to Ye Qiubai and laughed, "Let's see if the title of first place at the Azure Firmament Academy is truly worthwhile!"
When he said the last three words, Yao Zhun deliberately emphasized them.
It seems they also look down on the Azure Firmament Academy.
Ye Qiubai took the longsword without saying anything, and instead faced the riddled boulder.
The boulder appeared to be constructed from a special type of stone, which even Yao Zhun, a powerful figure who had survived four tribulations of lightning, could not break.
He closed his eyes and recalled the first move of the Cangxuan Sword Technique that Yao Zhun just used.
Break it down and analyze it in your mind.
Seeing Ye Qiubai standing still with his eyes closed.
The surrounding students also sneered.
"What are you pretending for? Or were you just being sarcastic? Now that it's time to actually show your skills, you're embarrassed?"
" The Cangxuan Sword Technique is an advanced sword technique of the inner academy. Even the first move is naturally difficult for sword cultivators who have never practiced it, let alone a petty scoundrel from such a barbarian land."
"Heh, still stalling for time? If you really can't handle it, just come down. Pretending to be incompetent when you can't is risking your State of Mind. A sword cultivator's State of Mind is extremely important!"
Above, Xuanyuan Che looked at Ye Qiubai thoughtfully.
He didn't look down on Ye Qiubai because of this, nor did he think that Ye Qiubai closing his eyes at this moment was just for show.
On the contrary, he felt that the Cangxuan Sword Technique was not difficult for a sword cultivator with monstrous talent like Ye Qiubai.
This breakthrough to the Sword Dao Rules Realm shows that, in terms of Sword Dao alone, Ye Qiubai's talent is even higher than his!
Xu Yeming goes without saying.
He naturally had complete trust in his senior brother.
Half a cup of tea's time passed.
Seeing that Ye Qiubai still hadn't moved, Yao Zhun sneered, "Young man, if you can't do it, then so be it. After all, the Cangxuan Sword Technique is a sword technique close to the Lord God Level. It's normal that you can't master it in a short time. Don't try to be a hero."
But the words had barely left his mouth.
Ye Qiubai suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze shooting out like a sharp sword.
He still ignored the gossip around him, a Sword Intent swirling around him before gathering in the longsword in his hand!
Seeing this, the other trainees were still mocking, but Yao Zhun and Xuanyuan Che's expressions hardened.
The convergence of Sword Intent and the direction of Sword Intent flow were exactly the same as the first move of the Cangxuan Sword Technique that Yao Zhun used!
Could it be...?
But just as Yao Zhun began to have doubts...
Ye Qiubai remained calm as he thrust his longsword toward the boulder in front of him!
There was clearly only one sword, but at the same moment the sword was thrust out, countless points of cold light pierced the boulder along with it!
Rumble!
In an instant, countless small holes reappeared on the boulder.
Seeing this scene...
The mocking voices around them stopped instantly, and the scene went from noisy to eerily silent.
All the students, including Yao Zhun, stared at Ye Qiubai with eyes that looked as if they had seen a ghost.
this...
Did he really use it?
So, standing still with his eyes closed just now was simply because he was recalling the scene of Yao Zhun using the Cangxuan Sword Technique?
Even so... that's only enough time for half a cup of tea!
Could it be that he mastered the Cangxuan Sword Technique in just the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea?
Xuanyuan Che no surprise, his expression remaining extremely calm. He said in a low voice, "If it was just a matter of using the exact same sword technique... then it seems to be nothing special..."
But, no sooner had the words left his mouth than...
But then Ye Qiubai lightly stroked the longsword in his hand and said calmly, "As expected, this swordsmanship is not very good; it's a bit too flashy."
Yao Zhun's expression changed upon hearing this, and he was about to retort.
But then Ye Qiubai struck the exact same pose as before and thrust out his sword!
However, this time, the moment the myriad points of cold light struck the boulder, they actually converged back onto the sword itself, and the sword remained embedded in the boulder.
The boulder had been pierced through!
Ye Qiubai sheathed his sword and nodded, saying, "Yes, then there's no problem."
