More than one person doubted what Liu Xing said.
But Liu Xing's breakthrough is indeed real.
This made them particularly suspicious and uncertain, and they couldn't help but speak up.
Are you telling the truth?
"Are you sure it was that Lin guy the princess invited? Isn't he only at the Great Emperor Realm? How could he possibly let you break through!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Xing's expression immediately turned cold.
The shift from joy to displeasure took less than a second.
He sneered, "What surnamed Lin? That's Senior Lin! You bunch of frogs in a well! Senior Lin's Sword Dao is unfathomable, far beyond your reach to speculate. His Sword Domain is not even recorded in ancient texts or legends. He is absolutely the number one Sword Dao of our time!"
"It wasn't just me; many of the students present also experienced breakthroughs and sudden enlightenment after being guided by Senior Lin, paving a smooth path for them in the Sword Dao."
"Even my teacher sought advice from Senior Lin, and Senior Lin was magnanimous, not minding the past disagreements at all!"
He became more and more excited as he spoke, talking non-stop, not caring that he didn't have a seat at today's banquet. He casually picked up a pot of wine and took a couple of sips to moisten his throat.
Now, the red on his face deepened, and he became even more excited.
"But if you ask me, the most excited one is Wu Qing!"
"We all thought she had no talent in Sword Dao at all, and that her hard work in Sword Dao would be in vain. But we never expected that Senior Lin would appreciate her, saying that she had a Sword Heart, and immediately bestow upon her a superior Emperor Weapon. Moreover, Wu Qing even has the opportunity to become Senior Lin's master. It's truly enviable!"
"I think Wu Qing has received the Cultivation Method bestowed by Senior Lin Senior Lin has also gained his favor. In the future, she's probably going to rise to the top in one fell swoop!"
After saying that, he drank the wine in the pot in one gulp.
The crystal-clear wine dripped down his lips, wetting his clothes.
The others present, however, paid no attention to this minor indecency.
Everyone stared in disbelief, as if they were hearing something completely foreign to them, as Liu Xing spoke.
How could that be...?
Every word Liu Xing uttered was utterly unbelievable and utterly shocking to them.
"Really...?"
Sword Domain? Powerful expert? Breakthrough and enlightenment? The number one Sword Dao of this era? How is that possible!
They refused to believe it.
However, what Liu Xing said also involved his teacher.
His teacher was none other than that Holy Master Gong!
The most powerful Holy Master Gong at the Great Cosmos Holy Academy! Even if Liu Xing had a hundred and eighty times the courage, he probably wouldn't dare to joke about his own teacher.
Everyone looked somewhat dazed. The hall was eerily quiet for a moment, and no one came to their senses or broke the strange atmosphere.
Finally, it was the sound transmission jade pendant on one of their waists that suddenly rang, shattering the tranquility of the room.
He picked up the communication jade tablet in a daze, and before he could even examine it, he heard a constant dripping sound filling the room.
The sounds were all from the sound transmission jade tablets.
One after another, the other people's communication jade tablets rang out, completely shattering the shocking atmosphere.
But they hadn't fully recovered yet; relying on their own habits, they chose to receive the message from the communication jade tablet, casually swiping their fingers...
Immediately, the hall was filled with the sounds of various people transmitting their voices.
The people who transmitted the messages were all their friends.
The statements are different.
The content, however, is so similar that it's outrageous.
Their tone, in particular, was exactly the same, leaving everyone in the hall completely stunned!
"Wow, Brother Wang, you really missed out by not coming today! Senior Lin unleashed over Thirty Sword Intent! I doubt we'll ever see anything like it again in our lives!"
" Sword Domain, Brother Liu, I have seen the Sword Domain today, and my life is complete!"
"Let me tell you, you didn't see the expressions on the faces of those top-tier Saint Masters. They initially wanted to give Senior Lin some pointers, but after the Sword Domain appeared, they were completely dumbfounded, hahaha..."
"I've broken through! Hahaha, Brother Pei, I've finally broken through! I'm hosting a banquet at the Floating Cloud Hall in a few days, you absolutely must come! When you arrive, I'll definitely tell you all about how terrifying Senior Lin is. I'm not saying anything more now, I need to stabilize my cultivation first, hahahahaha!"
"..."
One sound after another.
Sentence by sentence.
Everyone was stunned, unsure of what kind of expression they should wear.
real!
Everything Liu Xing just said was actually true!
Shi Qingyan's hands trembled as he looked at the communication jade tablet in his hand. The message inside had not yet finished playing, and he listened to its contents.
That was a message from one of his arch-enemies.
Just one sentence.
"Thank you very much, Brother Shi. I appreciate you telling me about Senior Lin's teachings. I have had an epiphany and broken through to a higher realm. I'll treat you to a meal sometime."
His sworn enemy, with whom he had always been at odds, actually showed a hint of gratitude in his tone!
But this is even more painful than killing Shi Qingyan!
He knew that his arch-rival was also a sword fanatic, but he had never been able to find an opportunity to break through. Compared to Shi Qingyan, Shi Qingyan was always one step ahead.
Shi Qingyan explained that his sermon was originally intended as a mockery.
Unexpectedly, the Sword Dao master he didn't believe was actually real. Not only did he fail to achieve his goal of mockery, he also helped his old rival!
Originally, he and his arch-enemy could have been evenly matched.
After this incident, I'm afraid he'll never be able to be a match for his opponent again!
Breakthroughs in Sword Dao are not so simple or easy!
Shi Qingyan took a deep breath, regret evident in his eyes.
He was absolutely filled with regret!
And Wu Qing...
How could such a foolish and dull-witted woman possibly have such fortuitous opportunity?
If he had entered the main hall today to listen to the teachings, perhaps he would have been the one chosen by that powerful figure from the Sword Domain!
Emperor Weapon!
Saint Art!
These things are extremely precious even within the Great Cosmos Holy Academy!
They should all have belonged to me!
With her natural talent, how could that senior not be tempted if she only showed it a little?
Because of my own blindness, I lost everything...
Shi Qingyan almost vomited blood. Overwhelming regret gnawed at his heart, causing him unbearable pain, and his face was contorted with agony.
Bang!
The communication jade tablet he was holding tightly in his hand was crushed by him.
The jade shard pierced his palm, but Shi Qingyan seemed completely oblivious, his face showing only deep regret and resentment.
News of countless breakthroughs and enlightenments kept coming in, as if they were all telling the story of the fortuitous opportunity he had missed this time.
Especially Wu Qing, whom he once looked down upon the most, has now risen to the top in one fell swoop.
Let alone the Saint Art Emperor Weapon in Wu Qing's possession, even just considering the high regard of the Sword Domain experts, I'm afraid the entire Holy Academy's Holy Masters and Deans would protect Wu Qing!
Supreme Sword Heart, Supreme Sword Heart...
Shi Qingyan shook his head with a wry smile. He had just mocked others for being hardworking but useless, saying that no matter what, they couldn't compare to a prodigy like himself.
But in just one day, the other party had already trampled on his head.
And all of this was because of a sermon...
An fortuitous opportunity that I might miss and never encounter again in my lifetime.
