Zhang Xuezhou had previously presented Lei Bei's Horizontal Sword Technique as a gift, and this time he presented the Beast Taming Manual of the Beast Taming Sect as a gift.

Once you've done something once, you'll be able to do it easily the second time.

He followed Lei Bei, walking upright, while Su Fei followed at the very back, looking around aimlessly.

"His Majesty has summoned you several times to gather his advisors in the Hall of Mental Cultivation to study doctrines. Please be careful when you go, lest you be criticized by the Nine Heavenly Advisors!"

At the entrance of the Yunluan Hall, where Zhang Xuezhou had previously been summoned, the red-armored guards wearing large crowns were still on duty as they had been for ten years.

He nodded to Lei Bei and then offered a very friendly reminder.

"Thank you, General Wu!"

Lei Bei bowed and thanked him.

Hard power brings enough respect; some are optimistic about Tianjiu, while others are optimistic about Lei Bei.

Clearly, Lei Bei no longer the unknown figure he once was, but had truly entered the core area of King of Huainan's Household.

The longer this period of time passed, the more deeply Lei Bei accumulated this sense of authority.

No matter how badly Lei Bei performed at Niutou Mountain, in the realm of Huainan swordsmanship, only Tian Jiu can currently barely suppress Lei Bei.

Tianjiu has grown old and no longer possesses the fierce swordsmanship of his youth; instead, he is more like an old wolf, waiting for his chance.

This provided Tianjiu with sufficient security and also gave Lei Bei, a wolf in his prime, enough time to grow.

A Divine Ability Realm who could stop countless people, but Lei Bei in the King of Huainan's Household in less than a year.

No one knew what sword Divine Ability Lei Bei had acquired at the Divine Ability Realm, and no one wanted to risk their life to test his sword skills.

"The number one swordsman of Huainan, hehe!"

Seeing Lei Bei to the Hall of Mental Cultivation so openly, General Wu couldn't help but mutter a few words to himself.

In the last hundred years, the Zongheng School has been the leading sword sect in the world. No matter what the Snow Mountain Sword Sect or the Pingyang Sword Sect are, even if these sword sects have top-level swordsmen, these swordsmen do not dare to claim to be the best.

Mo Qifu wasn't the first unlucky one, and Qing Lingzi wasn't the second top swordsman to lose his life due to carelessness; rather, such incidents had happened many times before.

"Zhang Zhong and Chong Da have passed away. Lei Bei given the Horizontal Sword Technique. Who has taken the Vertical Sword Technique?"

A horizontal sword is for defense and counterattack, while a vertical sword is for killing and is deadly.

With the acquisition of Lei Bei, a master swordsman, by the King of Huainan's Household, General Wu couldn't help but ponder who the swordsman should possess.

If Lei Bei does not draw his sword, few swordsmen of the same cultivation level can rival him.

If Lei Bei's cultivation advances any further, his title as the number one swordsman in Huainan will surely be confirmed. Even if Tian Jiu's cultivation is a notch higher, he will have to take the initiative to back down.

"The Sole Self Realm!"

General Wu pondered for a long time, and by the time he grasped the long sword at his waist, a purple light had already appeared in his hand.

He was also a swordsman with extraordinary skill, but his swordsmanship path was completely different from that of Tian Jiu, Lei Bei, and others.

In a direct confrontation, he would be killed by these two guest advisors, but as long as he leads the charge, even with just a dozen or so men, he has a high probability of killing Tian Jiu and Lei Bei.

"I'm afraid I'll never need to use these battlefield sword techniques in my lifetime, and I'm not suited to using them anyway!"

He muttered something to himself, then stopped thinking about it and just stood there in a daze.

He was full of youthful vigor in his youth, but as he got older, he just wanted a good job to support his family.

Time has worn down his fighting spirit and dulled his sword.

General Wu gathered his Qi and Blood energy, but he ultimately failed to draw the sword from his waist.

Inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, some people were holding their swords high in the air.

"Your Majesty, you have summoned Lei Keqing time and again, and he has only come now. This kind of person has no regard for you whatsoever. What use is such a person to our King of Huainan's Household?"

As usual, Tianjiu would jump around a bit.

He knew that even if he exaggerated the situation, it would be difficult to persuade the King of Huainan to kill Lei Bei, but bad things always accumulate little by little.

If this accumulation is sufficient, perhaps one day the King of Huainan will grow to dislike Lei Bei, thus eliminating him from the game completely.

Compared to swordsmanship, which is difficult to predict the outcome of a fight, his verbal attacks are obviously more successful, and this also prevents him from being injured or killed in a sword fight.

His speech drew agreement from more than ten people, while dozens more remained silent. Some wanted to speak up in rebuttal, but Lei Bei stared at repeatedly, no one spoke up.

"Your Majesty, I went to the Beast Taming Sect." Lei Bei replied briefly, "I just got back today!"

"Beast Taming Sect, what are you doing at the Beast Taming Sect? Drinking with those imperial guards? It seems you've really got something very important to do!"

Tian Jiu interjected, but quickly shut up after the King of Huainan coughed.

"I wish to research a theory to counteract the suppression of cultivation realms, and Lei Keqing's return is timely," the King of Huainan, dressed in casual clothes, said with a smile. "If Lei Keqing can contribute to this theory, I will reward him handsomely!"

"But I only know a couple of moves..."

Lei Bei about to politely decline when Zhang Xuezhou touched him slightly, which stopped him from saying what he was about to say.

"I only know a couple of sword techniques, so I'm not really qualified to help with this kind of thing, but I just happened to have some good luck and met a friend!"

A low voice transmitted through his ear, and Lei Bei quickly followed Zhang Xuezhou's instructions.

"Good luck? Friends?" the King of Huainan asked with interest. "So those are the two people behind you?"

"Yes!"

"Your Majesty, I am Dongfang Bubai, here to offer my magic!"

When Lei Bei responded, Zhang Xuezhou shouted.

The familiar voice almost transported the Prince of King of Huainan back to more than a year ago.

He no longer remembered this minor cultivator he had only met once, but when the same voice rang out, accompanied by the other party's rather comical name, it reminded the King of Huainan of the horizontal sword technique that the other party had previously presented to him.

"It's you again?" the King of Huainan asked in surprise. "Are you going to offer me your magic again?"

"I previously demonstrated my Horizontal Sword Technique in the Class A room, but after only two hours, I only remembered some of it and then forgot most of it. So I thought I'd go back to the Class A room to take a look again," Zhang Xuezhou said. "That's why I've come to demonstrate my technique again!"

"It really is you?" The King of Huainan asked in surprise, "My Jia-class residence isn't a place you can just go to whenever you want after offering a spell; it requires meeting certain standards. What spell did you offer this time?"

"I followed Su Fei, the young master of the Beast Taming Sect, to Niutou Mountain, where we encountered Lei Keqing. We were fortunate enough to obtain the Beast Taming Manual of the Beast Taming Sect," Zhang Xuezhou said, pointing to the bamboo scrolls placed outside the Yangxin Hall. "The Beast Taming Sect was once a powerful force, renowned for its mastery of taming cattle, horses, and ferocious Demon Beast. This manual must be of a high standard!"

"Beast Control Sect?"

The King of Huainan nodded and then signaled the guards to carry the bamboo slips into the hall.

"The ink on your bamboo slips hasn't been dry for long; it's probably just been written on. Is this some kind of treasure from the Beast Taming Sect?"

The King of Huainan glanced at him, then looked at an official dressed in a civil official's robe, which prompted the official to immediately become his mouthpiece.

"This is the Beast Taming Manual, a complete Beast Taming Manual without missing a single word," Zhang Xuezhou said, pointing to Su Fei behind him. "Su Fei, the young sect leader of the Beast Taming Sect, can testify to this!"

"This is indeed our Beast Taming Sect's Beast Taming Manual, without a single omission," Su Fei replied in a low voice.

"You say there are no oversights, then there are no oversights? If there are no oversights, then recite it and listen to it. See if it's the same as what you wrote. Don't let some Tom, Dick, or Harry copy a bunch of useless words to fool people!"

Before the official could ask any further questions, Tian Jiu added sarcastically.

He spared no effort in attacking his fellow pilots.

Lei Bei introduced to these people, and if these people have problems, they will inevitably be able to bring Lei Bei.
