Defeat the Sword Champion of the Luofu and Gain a New Skill[Second Update]
"Yes, very strong." Jingliu paused for a moment, then nodded in acknowledgment.
Luocha was somewhat surprised to see Jingliu's expression and hear his words.
"How strong is his talent for swordsmanship?"
"I saw in him a glimmer of possibility that he could take my place in wielding the sword."
Jingliu answered him.
Are you sure?
The smile on Luocha's face also disappeared, and she asked Jingliu seriously.
"Uncertain."
Jingliu shook his head.
"Therefore, I need to verify this carefully." Jingliu sat opposite Luocha.
"I have nothing to do before proceeding with the next step of the plan. So, I want to find an opportunity to test Ji Yuan's abilities. If he really has that potential, my next step may be to split up with you. You go to the Prison of Deep Seclusion and finally confront the Cloud Knight Marshal. I will continue to observe Ji Yuan."
Luocha pressed Jingliu, "How could you do something like that?"
"I can't help but think this when I see someone who is exceptionally talented."
Jingliu a slightly manic smile.
Go crazy, everyone goes crazy sometimes.
In order to achieve the final step of killing the Star God, she was willing to gamble as long as there was even a slight increase in the possibility.
Sushang and Ji Yuan, dressed in tattered clothes, quickly slipped away towards their home.
As they walked, Sushang Chang suddenly had a whimsical idea and said, "Brother, look at me wearing the armor of the Cloud Knights. If I bring you along, doesn't it look like a righteous army rescuing a persecuted boy and bringing him home?"
Ji Yuan tapped Sushang's head again.
The two returned home.
"I'm back!"
Sushang shouted loudly as she pushed open the door.
Pushing open the door, I saw that 'Tingyun' and Ruan Mei were both in the living room.
Ruan Mei held a test tube in her hand, Phantylia took off her feet and placed them on the sofa, currently applying nail polish. Upon seeing Ji Yuan and Sushang walk in, both of them immediately turned their gaze to Ji Yuan.
Phantylia was immediately startled and her hand trembled, causing the nail polish to smear on her foot. She quickly stood up and walked to Ji Yuan's side to examine him carefully. "Ji Yuan, what happened to you? Who hurt you like this? We'll go find the Cloud Knights right now and take care of that guy."
A hint of anger flickered in Phantylia's eyes.
Who is it?
Who dares to harm Ji Yuan?
Phantylia now treats Ji Yuan as a precious dessert to enjoy after the main course, a dessert even more valued than the main course. Anyone who dares to touch her is going against Phantylia.
"Come here, this person didn't hurt you, he just used his sword energy to shred your clothes. Is this person deliberately humiliating you?"
Nguyen Mai's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a sharp glint in them.
She doesn't care much about ordinary people, but she's very protective of those she cares about.
Ruan Mei placed her finger on the experimental dish; if she wanted, she could create a swarm of organisms capable of destroying an entire galaxy. While her physical combat strength was far inferior to that of Emanator of Destruction, the destruction she could cause far surpassed that of Emanator of Destruction.
"No, that's not how it is."
Ji Yuan quickly explained.
He didn't want to see Jingliu and Nguyen Mai fight.
One of these two is creating Emanator solo, while the other is teaming up to farm Abundance. If they really fight, their Xianzhou might be destroyed.
"We met a woman named Jingliu on our journey. Her swordsmanship was superb, and she used this method to teach me swordsmanship when we parted."
"Teach swordsmanship?"
Ruan Mei frowned slightly.
Phantylia pondered the history of the Luofu Starfaring Vessel for a moment and then thought of the previous Sword Master.
Is it her?
How did she get to the Xianzhou?
However, when it came to a real fight, Phantylia was confident that he could defeat Jingliu.
Sushang crossed her arms and said with great dissatisfaction, "Yes, my brother's swordsmanship talent pleased that woman named Jingliu, so she insisted on teaching him in this way."
While it's okay to tease my older brother, I still need to protect him when necessary.
Jingliu stabbed Ji Yuan's clothes, which meant that Sushang had seriously offended her.
"Alright, Changchang, at least my swordsmanship has improved quite a bit." Ji Yuan said to Sushang as he walked upstairs.
Upon arriving at her room, Ji Yuan quickly changed her clothes.
After changing his clothes, he came out of the room.
"Changchang, let's go. We must report Jingliu's matter to the general."
The former swordsman of Luofu has appeared on the Xianzhou, which requires the Xianzhou to pay close attention.
"Uh-huh."
Sushang nodded quickly.
After saying goodbye to Ruan Mei and Phantylia, Ji Yuan and Sushang left.
After Ji Yuan and the others left, Phantylia thought for a moment and then prepared to leave as well.
"Ms. Ruan Mei, you continue your experiments here. I have other matters to attend to."
She needs to track down Jingliu's whereabouts.
We'll give her some 'reward' then.
Nguyen Mai smiled and continued with the rest of her work.
Ji Yuan and Sushang arrived at the Divine Might Manor.
At this moment, Jing Yuan and Yanqing were both in the Divine Might Manor. Jing Yuan was reading a book, while Yanqing stood by his side.
Upon seeing Ji Yuan walk in, Yanqing widened in surprise.
He asked Ji Yuan, "Brother, weren't you supposed to be off today? Why did you come over?"
"There's nothing we can do; things just just happen to be that way."
Ji Yuan shrugged and said.
"Oh? What happened to you this time?"
Upon hearing Ji Yuan's words, Jing Yuan put down the scroll in his hand and asked him a question.
Sushang said to Jing Yuan, "We met a masked woman at Flowing Cloud Ferry. She said her name was Jingliu."
Hearing Sushang say this, Jing Yuan's smile remained unchanged, but the sharp-eyed Ji Yuan noticed that his hand paused for a moment.
Jing Yuan asked them, "Oh? What happened between her and you? What is she going to do?"
"Yes, she's very strong. Whatever she wants to do, my brother and I can't stop her at all. As for her and us..." Sushang said, then looked at her brother.
Under Ji Yuan's murderous gaze, Sushang simply said, "She gave my brother a short sword lesson."
"To be able to receive guidance from a teacher, it seems she's quite interested in you."
Jing Yuan looked at Ji Yuan and praised him.
"Teacher!?"
Upon hearing Jing Yuan introduce Jingliu's identity in this way, Sushang and Yanqing, who were unaware of the situation, looked at Jing Yuan in surprise.
Jing Yuan said nothing.
Instead, he immediately instructed Yanqing: "Yanqing, you and Ji Yuan go to Flowing Cloud Ferry and thoroughly investigate my teacher's whereabouts. Oh, and that Ren too, it's said he's also there now, go and check on him as well. Don't worry, they won't leave for now, you can search slowly."
"Yes, General."
Ji Yuan and Yanqing clasped their hands in a respectful gesture.
"As for Sushang, you have other matters to attend to in the Cloud Knights, so go back to the Cloud Knights first."
"Yes."
Sushang nodded, somewhat dejected.
The three then left.
Watching them leave, Jing Yuan muttered to himself, "Teacher, Yanqing might need you to 'take care' of him."
Jing Yuan didn't have much hope of catching either Jingliu or Ren.
They were mostly arrested with ulterior motives.
This time, it's also to let Yanqing make some connections; maybe she can get some benefits in return.
Yanqing and Ji Yuan hadn't gone far outside when Yanqing called out to Ji Yuan.
He looked at Ji Yuan with anticipation.
"Hey bro, did my teacher's teacher teach you swordsmanship?"
"It's not teaching, it's more accurate to say guiding," Ji Yuan corrected Yanqing's words.
"Um, could you show me? Hmm, right here, let's have another match."
He looked at Ji Yuan with anticipation.
Chapter 108 Defeating the Luofu Sword Champion and Gaining a New Skill [Second Update]
Faced with Yanqing's expectant yet pitiful eyes, Ji Yuan certainly wouldn't refuse.
He glanced at the open space next to him and said to Yanqing, "Yanqing, let's go over there."
"Um."
Yanqing nodded.
Sushang hadn't left yet, and seeing her older brother and Yanqing about to fight, she naturally wanted to watch closely. Following Ji Yuan and Yanqing to the open space next to the Divine Might Manor, Sushang found a rock to sit on, rested her chin on her hands, and focused her gaze on Ji Yuan.
After thinking for a moment, she took out her phone and started recording.
Ji Yuan drew his sword, and Yanqing also drew his longsword from his waist. They lowered their stances slightly, ready to charge at any moment with their swords drawn.
The next second, Ji Yuan and Yanqing rushed together, launching the same attack. Ji Yuan initially learned swordsmanship from Yanqing, and just now he also mastered swordsmanship from Jingliu. Therefore, Ji Yuan and Yanqing could be said to be from the same school, and their initial movements were almost completely identical.
The two forces clashed, and this time it was truly a draw. Having undergone multiple enhancements, Ji Yuan was now locked in a stalemate for a period of time in this pure energy contest. Finally, they exchanged a glance and then simultaneously dodged to one side. As they dodged, Yanqing flung out four flying swords beside her, while Ji Yuan transformed his Longsword Sky Dome, into a soft whip, binding all the flying swords.
Although the flying sword entangled him, Yanqing's years of honed flying sword skills, combined with the latest swords from the Artificer's Workshop, almost caused Ji Yuan to lose control. In a true contest of strength, Yanqing ultimately held a slight advantage.
However, Ji Yuan was no longer the same as before. Feeling the force of the flying sword rushing towards him, he flicked his wrist to change the direction of the sword's force, propelling himself more than a hundred meters into the air. Once in mid-air, Ji Yuan quickly released the flying sword, stomped his feet hard on it, and then used the momentum to plunge down.
Ji Yuan quickly unleashed the sword techniques he had learned, unleashing a torrent of ice-attribute sword energy.
Can you see that cold front falling from the sky?
A happy smile appeared on Yanqing's lips as he summoned the two remaining flying swords he could control. Stepping onto them, he leaped into the sky.
Ji Yuan attacked from above, while Yanqing charged upwards from below, and the two swords clashed once again.
The two swords clashed, emitting bursts of cold light.
They fell from a height of tens of meters, and the two exchanged blows countless times during this opportunity. Ji Yuan's moves were exquisite, completely enveloping Yanqing's body. In the process of the battle, Yanqing found that he was at a disadvantage.
Ji Yuan's swordsmanship experience has caught up with his. At the same time, part of his swordsmanship moves are those used by Yanqing a hundred years later, and another part are swordsmanship created by Jingliu while traveling in the starry sea. In terms of sophistication, it surpasses what Yanqing has mastered now.
At the same time, and most importantly, Yanqing hasn't fully grown up yet. Although Ji Yuan isn't very old, he's already quite tall, not much shorter than Jing Yuan. Therefore, Yanqing's arms are shorter than his. This difference in height is a huge weakness for a highly skilled swordsman.
Yanqing was suppressed by Ji Yuan.
