One Sword strike will suffice!
Such arrogance, such haughtiness.
If the two hadn't been speaking telepathically, the people around them would have likely caused a huge uproar.
Even Wan Renshan wouldn't say such a thing, so why should Wang Yan, a newly enrolled student, have the right?
His deeds at the Great Cosmos Holy Academy did not spread here.
Even if it spreads, it doesn't mean anything.
There are countless geniuses in the world, like carp crossing a river. The Saint Heaven Realm Domain is like a graveyard for geniuses, where countless talents have failed and become mere foils for others.
But Wang Yan just said it anyway!
He said, "One Sword is enough!"
Upon hearing this, Qu Youmeng paused for a moment, then shook her head and chuckled.
"As expected, it has to be my senior brother."
Hearing her praise, Wang Yan was also taken aback.
Immediately, he turned to look at Qu Youmeng, his eyes filled with indescribable emotion.
"It seems you've been through a lot too."
In the past, Qu Youmeng wouldn't have felt any Qi Ingestion towards him, but she was proud and aloof. In the past, even though he was her senior brother, she would rarely call him "senior brother" unless there was a reason.
Back in the day, in the Profound Domain and the Azure Yang Sword Sect, only I had the best relationship with Su Lianxin.
Qu Youmeng lingers outside of it all.
Like her fellow disciples, she initially chose to stay in the Sword Pavilion for personal gain and other reasons, but gradually returned to her roots over time.
But now, she chats with him casually, addressing him as "senior brother" without any apparent concern...
How could Wang Yan not be moved by this?
Wang Yan's words were what truly stunned Qu Youmeng for a long time.
After a long while, she chuckled softly and shook her head, her expression filled with reminiscence.
"Yes, I've been through a lot too."
"Isn't my senior brother the same?"
Two or three years isn't a very long time.
Some cultivators may not even be able to break through a minor realm.
But two or three years is a long time.
They grew up to be outside the sheltered environment of the Sword Pavilion, exposed to the storms of the outside world. Only after returning did they realize that in this world, only their master and their fellow disciples were their last refuge and comfort.
They have all grown so much.
Too many to list.
Don't overthink it.
Wang Yan hesitated for a moment, then tentatively raised his hand and, imitating his master, patted Qu Youmeng's shoulder with an encouraging tone.
"I'm a bit older than you, and you haven't broken through to the Thearch Realm yet. Once you break through to the Thearch Realm, you'll defeat him with One Sword strike, just like before."
Qu Youmeng smiled, neither confirming nor denying.
On the stage, Wang Dai's gaze swept over the crowd. Before he could even decide where to land, one person had already taken the lead and stepped forward.
"Greetings, Senior Brother Wang Dai."
"I am Qin Zhi, the True Martial Holy Heaven! Please enlighten me, Senior Brother!"
Qin Zhi, dressed in a black short-sleeved outfit, looked dashing and neat, with delicate features, and bowed without any politeness.
The two swords were slung behind his back, their black scabbards radiating the aura of Emperor Weapon, clearly not ordinary objects.
"Please."
Wang Dai casually extended his hand, posing as if striking a pose.
He and Qin Zhi were strangers, and there was no conflict or enmity between the two Holy Heaven.
He had never heard of Qin Zhi before, so he figured he wasn't one of the Ten Saints, but Wang Dai still took it a little more seriously.
When the other trainees in the audience saw Qin Zhi on stage, many of them couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
"It's Senior Brother Qin Zhi!"
" Qin Zhi?"
"It is said that he was once a prince of a mortal minor world. When that minor world was destroyed, the Holy Master of the True Martial Holy Heaven went to take him as a disciple and brought him back."
"If I remember correctly, Qin Zhi should be the third-ranked prodigy of the True Martial Holy Heaven, not Ten Saints."
"So it was a seed from a mortal, minor world?"
Many people were somewhat taken aback, while others were meeting Qin Zhi for the first time. Upon hearing that he was a seed, they became quite curious.
Qu Youmeng frowned slightly.
What is this called?
"Seed...?"
"Don't you know, Senior Sister?" Duan Nianwei asked softly from the side.
She looked at Qin Zhi on the stage and explained in a low voice.
"Besides our Eastern Continent, there are many smaller worlds where the concentration of Spiritual Qi and the cultivation levels of cultivators are compressed, making them incomparable to the Eastern Continent. For example, in the recent Martial Domain, the upper limit for cultivators is roughly only the Venerable Realm. There, cultivators simply cannot cultivate to a level above the Venerable Realm."
"In recent years, the nearby small worlds have been collapsing at an increasingly rapid pace. Many powerful figures have personally gone to these small worlds and brought back many talented disciples—these are the seeds."
"Some of these seeds are even more talented than the prodigies of our Eastern Continent! However, those are just isolated cases."
After all, everything in the Eastern Continent is incomparable to that of the Small World.
Listening to Duan Nianwei's words, a look of understanding flashed in Qu Youmeng's eyes.
I see...
So, in that sense, she is also a seed.
Meanwhile, Yan Tinghe was standing nearby, thought that they were interested in Qin Zhi. The female students had gotten along quite well along the way.
So she smiled and brought up something Duan Nianwei hadn't mentioned.
"Junior Sister Duan is right. This Qin Zhi is also a seed. It is said that he comes from the Martial Domain. When the last small world was about to collapse, he fought alone for several days, killing countless demons and monsters. He almost died in a bloodbath. Tens of thousands of demons died at his hands, including many powerful demons with higher cultivation levels than him."
"Fortunately, the Holy Master of True Martial Holy Heaven happened to pass by; otherwise, we might have lost a genius."
Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Qu Youmeng's eyes, but she quickly suppressed it.
A smile appeared on her face, "Thank you for your explanation, Senior Sister."
But what he was thinking about was the Martial Domain, and the Luminous Domain where he was located.
demon...
Has the small world been invaded by demons?
Her hatred for demons surged within her, but it took her a long time to suppress it before she looked at Qin Zhi with serious eyes.
Having experienced the same thing, Wang Yan raised his eyes and looked Zhenzhen at the arena.
On the arena, Qin Zhi took a step forward, and after exchanging greetings, he instantly unleashed his Secret Technique.
He was well aware of Wang Dai's strength, so he dared not be careless in the slightest.
The True Martial Holy Heaven Instruction flowed through his mind, transforming Spiritual Power into qi, which he inhaled and exhaled with each breath, strengthening his Secret Technique and enhancing his physical body.
This is the Secret Method of True Martial Holy Heaven, which was passed down to him by his master.
It is also a Saint Art that can continuously absorb Spiritual Power from the sky, transform it into one's own, and make one's Spiritual Power inexhaustible, completely transforming one into a martial arts god of death!
Zhenwu never stops.
The Spiritual Power never ceases!
However, the difficulty of cultivating it is extremely high.
The True Martial Holy Heaven Instruction has ten levels. Among all the students of the True Martial Holy Heaven, including him, there are fewer than ten people who have cultivated to the Lesser City level!
The others also recognized the True Martial Holy Heaven Instruction, and surprise flashed in their eyes.
"Is it the True Martial Holy Heaven Instruction? And it's only at the Lesser Town Realm!"
" Qin Zhi has only been in the Eastern Continent for about four years, right? His talent is truly terrifying!"
"As expected of Saint Art that is equivalent to the embodiment of martial arts, it is quite powerful even just from the aura it emits."
"So strong!"
Many people are praising it.
But a hint of disappointment flashed across Qu Youmeng's eyes amidst the crowd.
On the arena, Wang Dai quietly watched Qin Zhi, slowly raising his hand without even using his weapon.
He only uttered a few words.
"If this is all the skill you have, I suggest you just admit defeat."
