On this day, Lin Xuan preached from sunrise to sunset.
The crowd went from being wary and skeptical to being completely captivated, wishing they could immerse themselves in the atmosphere of the sermons day and night.
Some people had an instant realization.
Some people break through directly, suddenly understanding a problem that they hadn't been able to figure out for many years.
Whether you are a student or a master, you are all the same today.
The atmosphere of Sword Dao was intense in the main hall, and everyone was completely immersed in it.
No one even thought to go out and tell others that they could hear the sermons of powerful Sword Domain here.
They're not stupid!
What if you go out and happen to miss an important point?
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Am I supposed to keep the big shot waiting for me?
Stop dreaming!
Therefore, apart from the students who were hoping to learn something and a few holy masters, no one else knew what had actually happened inside the hall.
I don't yet know what I've missed.
As night fell and the dew grew heavy, lanterns were lit Floating Cloud Hall, casting several laughing and nonchalant shadows.
Floating Cloud Hall.
This is the main hall where some of the geniuses of the Great Cosmos Holy Academy reside. It is mainly used for banquets, and occasionally some small banquets are also held here.
And the leader of this group of prodigies was Shi Qingyan.
That is, Senior Brother Shi, who is hailed as the number one prodigy of the Great Cosmos Holy Academy.
He and the others didn't care at all what happened in the main hall. Today, after receiving their share in the alchemy hall, they went to the mission hall, and after a day of cultivation in the back mountain, they gathered here.
After a few rounds of drinks, the topic inevitably turned to the main hall and the other students who had already gone to listen to the sermon.
But their words were filled with nothing but endless sarcasm.
" Liu Xing too, he insisted on going to join in on Lin Xuan's sermon. We agreed to get drunk together here tonight, but he's still not here. Tsk, he's really bewitched."
"Hahaha, don't blame him. He's a disciple of Holy Master Gong. Who is Holy Master Gong? He's the number one Sword Dao our Great Cosmos Holy Academy. Even he has never lectured in the Sword Dao Hall. What makes Lin Xuan think he can do that?"
This time, Holy Master Gong took him to broaden his horizons.
"In that case, I regret not going along. To lecture Master Sword Dao would be like showing off one's limited skills before Holy Master Gong, hahaha!"
"Come, come, drink! We'll know tomorrow. This kind of person is unworthy to preach at my Great Cosmos Holy Academy. He'll probably be taught a lesson by Holy Master Gong in front of everyone, hahaha!"
"..."
A group of people laughed and chatted in twos and threes about what had happened during the day.
However, they had barely finished speaking when the door to the main hall was suddenly pushed open.
An excited figure walked in from inside.
Clad in yellow, wearing a wooden crown, and not particularly tall, he moved with a swift, breezy air. Upon closer inspection, who else could it be but Liu Xing they had been discussing?
but...
The few people drinking in the hall didn't drink too much. After all, although drinking and merrymaking were allowed in the academy, there had been many things going on in the academy recently. The dispute Mansion Competition had just ended, and it wouldn't be good if they accidentally got drunk and messed up important matters.
Therefore, they almost immediately noticed something different about Liu Xing.
I couldn't help but feel somewhat taken aback.
"Liu, Liu Xing? You actually broke through?"
With a ruddy complexion, Liu Xing took a deep breath, made no attempt to hide his feelings, and nodded without hesitation.
He grinned, revealing a bright smile, his voice brimming with joy. "That's right, I've broken through!"
Upon hearing this, the others were all dumbfounded.
Some people even blurted out instinctively, "How is that possible?"
Breakthroughs are a normal occurrence.
However, Liu Xing's breakthrough was not so normal!
They were the people who knew him best; how could they not know that Liu Xing had been stuck at this level for many years?
He diligently practiced Sword Dao, but his aptitude for Sword Dao was only mediocre. In particular, he was trying to comprehend the Great Sun Sword Dao, which was extremely difficult. There was no master in the academy who could comprehend the Great Sun Sword Dao!
However, although Liu Xing's talent in Sword Dao was not great, his aptitude for cultivation was still quite good.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to squeeze into Shi Qingyan's side.
Therefore, Liu Xing can be considered one of the most powerful prodigies in the academy.
Unfortunately, his stubborn pursuit of the Sword Dao has left him without any progress for several years.
Many sages felt that his talent shouldn't be wasted like this and came to advise him, but to no avail.
In the end, they could only examine Liu Xing's body, but regretfully announced that his cultivation in the Great Sun Sword Dao was unlikely to break through at all.
Because he has entered into a shackle that is difficult to break.
Unless there is an extraordinary fortuitous opportunity of luck, even if the Great Saint himself were to come, he would not be able to advance any further.
but...
They saw Liu Xing this morning!
At that time, Liu Xing, though not exactly gloomy, had remained silent and taciturn for many years due to his stagnant cultivation, like a mushroom on a rainy day, lost in his own world.
Clearly, if this continues, let alone breaking free from his shackles, he might even become entangled in inner demons!
But nowadays...
Everyone looked at Liu Xing in front of them, as if something was stuck in their throats, unable to utter a single word.
If Liu Xing hadn't been wearing the same clothes as he did that morning, and his appearance and aura were exactly the same, they probably would have thought that the person in front of them had been replaced by someone else!
Because Liu Xing now not only has a ruddy complexion, but also a sharp aura, and the wind he stirs up as he walks carries a faint, sharp sound like the roar of a tiger or the cry of a dragon.
At that moment, he looked incredibly energetic, as if he had been reborn!
"Why not?"
Liu Xing didn't care about other people's opinions at all. He asked back directly, his tone still joyful, even excited, completely abandoning his former composure.
He shared with boundless joy, like a child.
"I have indeed broken through! Thanks to Senior Lin's teachings, I have now achieved enlightenment and broken through the Seventh-Level Sword Intent in one fell swoop!"
The shackles of the past have long since vanished like clouds, completely dissipated.
"I even have a feeling that, given enough time, even the Eighth-Level Sword Intent will be no problem!"
He was extremely excited, speaking hurriedly and eagerly, wishing he could tell the entire academy that he was no longer the mediocre talent whose path of Sword Dao had been deemed abandoned!
As he spoke, Liu Xing was also reflecting on the insights into Sword Dao he had heard that day, finding them endlessly rewarding and beneficial for life.
However, everyone else who heard his words was stunned.
What...?
Sudden enlightenment?
breakthrough?
Senior Lin...?
There isn't a single holy master surnamed Lin in the academy... wait a minute!
A hint of surprise appeared in someone's eyes, and they asked in astonishment, " The Senior Lin you mentioned, could he be the one the princess invited?"
But wasn't that person a swindler?
