"I'll handle this, otherwise it'll take too long." After saying that, Jingliu turned to Ji Yuan.

"Watch closely, little brother. I'll only use this move once. I hope you can learn it in battle, just like you said."

Ji Yuan wasn't Jing Yuan's student, so naturally they didn't have much of a relationship. Seeing that he was walking along this path, she casually taught him a move.

Jingliu thought to himself.

Then, he charged into the enemy ranks, flashing five streaks of cold light in almost a second.

Ji Yuan looked over and saw a five-pointed star mark pass through the front of all the Mara-Struck.

Immediately, all the Mara-Struck present collapsed to the ground.

Sushang opened her mouth wide.

This, this is also acceptable.

Ji Yuan was also somewhat surprised.

The next second, the system's voice appeared in his mind.

[The legendary Jingliu Jing Liu, the grandmaster of the current Sword Master Yanqing of Luofu, who delivered the fatal blow to the Abundance Star God of Abundance, has taught you a sword technique called [Flying Star]. The system rewards you with mastery of the sword technique [Flying Star].]

A few days ago I encountered a fallen Aeon of Destruction, and here is the Abundance Star God.

Ji Yuan was more excited about the fall of Yaoshi, the Aeon of Abundance than about the destruction of Nanuk.

Just how powerful is this Jingliu...?

Before he could even process what was being conveyed, Ji Yuan caught a glimpse of Jingliu about to leave and quickly snapped back to reality.

She's a treasure of a woman; we can't let her leave like this, without even remembering her.

He quickly called out to Jingliu.

"Sister Jingliu, I've learned your sword techniques!"

Jingliu turned his head away.

Ji Yuan moved swiftly, unleashing six streaks of cold light.

It produced one more strike than the Jingliu Slash.

Although Jingliu's eyes were covered by a black cloth, he could clearly sense the swordsmanship that Ji Yuan was wielding.

That's what I just used.

She was somewhat surprised.

So that's how you learn it!?

This move was created by her after she left the Xianzhou, and no one else could master it except her.

The boy in front of me learned it after just one glance?

There's been a slight improvement.

Chapter 107 Jingliu: Is Ji Yuan the one who can wield the sword against the apothecary in my place? [First Update]

Jingliu is very confident in her swordsmanship.

Even a sword technique created casually would take an average person a long time to learn. But Ji Yuan only needed to glance at it to learn it, which made Jingliu realize that his swordsmanship talent was outstanding.

However, even a perfect copy wouldn't exceed Jingliu's imagination. Having roamed the starry sea for so many years, Jingliu has encountered people with photographic memory, those who can remember things at a glance.

But now Ji Yuan is not just copying; he's modifying his own sword technique. Jingliu pondered for a moment, feeling that Ji Yuan's new swordsmanship was more comprehensive than his own attack.

The ability to modify sword techniques proves that one has thoroughly mastered the technique. Only after mastering it can one proceed with further upgrades and modifications.

This talent for swordsmanship...

Even Jingliu was shocked when he saw it.

She never imagined that anyone could achieve such a level of skill.

Even she herself couldn't do that.

Jingliu felt a surge of excitement at the sight of her prey, and her hands began to itch.

At the same time, in pursuit of her ultimate goal, she also wanted to find a swordsman stronger than herself. In Ji Yuan, she saw the potential to surpass herself.

The next second, she appeared beside Ji Yuan.

The long sword in his hand had not yet been sheathed.

Jingliu looked at Ji Yuan and said, "From now on, learn as much as you can."

Um!?

Before Ji Yuan could react to Jingliu's words, she had already launched an attack on him with her sword. The attack was fierce and aimed straight at his chest. The tip of the sword was sharp and carried an icy attribute; even just getting close made Ji Yuan feel extremely cold.

You'll die, you'll die.

Ji Yuan instantly felt a sense of impending death. The thrill of being on the brink of life and death surged through him once more. Ji Yuan's spirit exploded instantly; he first pushed Sushang aside, then forcefully retreated backward.

As Ji Yuan retreated, he swung his sword to try and block Jingliu's attack. However, he was a little too slow, and a slight stinging pain came from his chest. Jingliu then withdrew his sword.

"You have already died once."

She sheathed her longsword, giving Ji Yuan a chance to catch his breath, before attacking again.

Although Ji Yuan had a feeling that Jingliu wouldn't really kill him, Jingliu's swordsmanship still made him extremely nervous, and he couldn't relax at all.

If you're not careful, you really could die.

Ji Yuan immediately began to fight back using his sword techniques and footwork.

He focused all his attention on Jingliu's sword techniques and his own body, unleashing everything he could to protect himself. Ji Yuan only occasionally heard Jingliu say "once again," and felt a slight stinging pain in his body.

Sushang, standing to the side, could only see two silver-white figures flashing back and forth. She was fighting by her own strength, and speed was not her forte. Moreover, the speed of Ji Yuan's Jingliu attack was extremely fast, so Sushang couldn't perceive it at all.

Finally, after a series of attacks, Jingliu arrived at a high platform twenty meters away from Ji Yuan. Looking at Ji Yuan, who had stopped and was using his sword to strike the ground, she turned and walked forward.

"I hope that when we meet next time, your swordsmanship will have improved to a level that will delight me."

Jingliu calmly forward, leaving Ji Yuan with only her slender figure and the 'tap-tap' sound of her high boots on the ground.

Her aloof and cool demeanor, like the cunning moonlight, perfectly embodies the image of a beautiful female swordsman.

Sushang hurriedly walked to Ji Yuan's side and asked him anxiously, "Brother, are you alright?"

This woman looks terrifying. I hope my brother wasn't hurt.

"I guess nothing's wrong..."

Ji Yuan slowly stood up and said to Sushang in a tone that was both funny and exasperated.

His health is not seriously affected.

But...

Sushang heard a series of tearing sounds as Ji Yuan's once neat coat and undershirt began to tear, eventually turning into shredded cloth.

His clothes were instantly torn to shreds, and he probably got asked to sing a piece of lotus flower ballad on the street.

None of Jingliu's thrusts harmed Ji Yuan's body, but they didn't care about his clothes. After this series of blows, Ji Yuan was left with only tattered clothes. Fortunately, Jingliu had held back a bit; his trousers were still intact.

After carefully observing that Ji Yuan was unharmed, Sushang burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, bro, you look like you ran into a female hooligan in the middle of the night..."

Ji Yuan's face darkened, and finally, unable to bear it any longer, he punched her on the head.

Sushang held her head and muttered softly.

"This guy is a real bully who picks on the weak and fears the strong. He suffered a loss at the hands of another woman, but instead of seeking revenge, he only knows how to bully his cute little sister. He's a piece of trash, truly the worst kind of trash."

Ji Yuan glared at her fiercely.

"Let's go back first."

"Huh? You're going back like this?" Sushang looked at Ji Yuan, whose upper body was vaguely visible, and asked hesitantly.

Ji Yuan wanted to change into the enemy's clothes, but these fallen enemies were all Mara-Struck. Their armor had grown into their flesh, and Ji Yuan couldn't pull it off at all.

This is the only way to go back.

Hurry back to Exalting Sanctum and go buy some clothes.

As she walked, Sushang couldn't help but smile.

However, while mocking her older brother, she didn't forget to ask Ji Yuan about things.

"By the way, brother, that woman wasn't just taking her anger out on you, was she? I don't really understand, but she was probably planning to teach you swordsmanship."

"Yes."

Ji Yuan paused for a moment, then nodded.

"So, bro, will this work?"

"Of course it's very useful."

Ji Yuan nodded in agreement.

In his mind, the Achievement System sounded again.

[The legendary swordsman, Jingliu, the former head swordsman of Luofu who delivered the crucial blow to the Abundance Star God, Jingliu passed on the essence of her swordsmanship to you. The system is rewarding you with mastery of the swordsmanship's essence and a +20 swordsmanship experience. We hope you will continue your efforts and become this legendary swordsman's student, thus learning all of her sword techniques.]

A flood of swordsmanship experience rushed into Ji Yuan's mind, the content of which almost caused his brain to shut down.

Seeing the pained expression on Ji Yuan's face, Sushang hurriedly asked him, "Brother, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing. I just didn't have enough clothes. It's windy here at Flowing Cloud Ferry, and it's giving me a headache."

Ji Yuan didn't want Sushang to worry about him, so he quickly made up an excuse.

"Oh, oh." Sushang nodded quickly, pulling Ji Yuan along and walking faster towards the outside.

Hurry up and leave, that way you'll be colder for a little while longer.

On the other side, Jingliu towards the port of Flowing Cloud Ferry.

Over there, a tall, blond young man was leaning against a pillar. Beside him, he was carrying a huge coffin on his back.

"Luocha, have you finished your business?"

Jingliu revealed the blond youth's name.

Upon looking up and seeing Jingliu, Luocha smiled.

"Of course, I have done what I needed to do. Now it's up to Xianzhou to decide."

Although the smile on his lips remained unchanged, his eyes held a mysterious glint. Jingliu knew that this seemingly calm person, like her, harbored a void within his heart. Nothing she did could fill it. The more she tried to fill it, the more exhausted she became.

She might be even crazier than when she takes off her blindfold.

The audacious plan to come to the Xianzhou was all devised by Luocha. She was merely a swordswoman carrying out the plan; once Luocha had everything prepared, she would unleash the final, fatal blow against the Star God.

She no longer cared about anything else.

Jingliu's only thought right now is how to kill the Abundance Star God.

She didn't care about anything else.

Immediately, Luocha continued, asking Jingliu, "You're ten minutes late for our agreed time. Jingliu, did you encounter many enemies on the way?"

"No." Jingliu shook his head. "I just met an interesting child on the way."

Luocha inquired curiously, "Interesting? It's rare to hear such news from you. Let me guess, who is it? Could it be Yanqing, General Jing Yuan's disciple?"

"It's not him, I haven't met him yet. It's another young man who is older than him, named Ji Yuan."

Jingliu shook his head and said to Luocha.

"It's him, no wonder." Upon hearing Ji Yuan's name, Luocha showed a look of realization. "I've heard people talking about his reputation even before I arrived at the Xianzhou. He's Ruan Mei's student, and is said to be the only one in the field of life sciences who has the potential to inherit her mantle. What, Jingliu, are you also interested in life sciences?"

"No, I just find his kendo talent interesting."

"Oh, is his swordsmanship also very good?"
