Not only did Hu Xing not believe it, Cheng Beibei didn’t either, and Yang Zhong even less so.
The Stone Sword was incredibly difficult to comprehend. If someone managed to comprehend a single sword in a few years, it was already extremely rare. They refused to believe that Yang Xiaotian could comprehend two major Stone Swords on consecutive days!
When Lin Yong and Chen Yuan received the news, they were also surprised.
“Is he going to comprehend the second Stone Sword today?” Lin Yong pondered, “Could this child be a bit too eager for quick success?”
He didn’t deny that Yang Xiaotian was an unparalleled Sword Dao genius, but the idea that Yang Xiaotian could comprehend two major Stone Swords on consecutive days still seemed absurd to him.
“Shall we go take a look?” Chen Yuan asked Lin Yong.
Lin Yong nodded, put down the Martial Soul Books he had just collected, and went with Chen Yuan toward Hundred Swords Plaza.
However, just as Lin Yong and Chen Yuan had barely left the courtyard, suddenly, a startling Sword Qi soared into the sky, reaching the Nine Heavens.
The Sword Qi came so abruptly.
And with such ferocity!
Lin Yong and Chen Yuan had not yet recovered when another wave of Sword Qi burst forth!
The two looked in the direction of the Sword Qi, their faces filled with astonishment.
That direction was precisely Hundred Swords Plaza.
Could it be?!
The two exchanged shocked looks and sped toward Hundred Swords Plaza as fast as they ever had in their lives.
Even so, by the time they flew toward Hundred Swords Plaza, the area around the plaza was already densely packed with teachers and students from the academy.
In the crowd, Hu Xing clenched his fists tightly, staring intently at Yang Xiaotian, who stood in front of the second Stone Sword.
Next to him, Yang Zhong watched Yang Xiaotian, his heart filled with boundless despair.
Cheng Beibei also had a complex expression on her face.
There was a legend within Divine Sword Academy about the Stone Swords of Hundred Swords Plaza—that only those with an incredibly powerful Sword Heart could comprehend them.
After comprehending a single Stone Sword, even the strongest Sword Heart would need at least a year to digest the experience before being able to comprehend a second Stone Sword.
But what about Yang Xiaotian?
Why could he comprehend a second Stone Sword the day after the first?
How exactly did Yang Xiaotian manage this?
Not only did Cheng Beibei find it incomprehensible, but all the teachers and students at the scene were also baffled.
Lin Yong and Chen Yuan didn’t understand either.
Unless Yang Xiaotian’s Sword Heart was strong to a terrifying extent.
At that moment, standing before the Stone Sword, Yang Xiaotian seemed to be in a world of ice and snow.
In this icy world, the sky was full of glacial Sword Qi swirling all around.
In Yang Xiaotian’s eyes, these glacial Sword Qi transformed into icy swordsmen.
The icy swordsmen performed their Sword Techniques.
Soon, icy Sword Qi surged around Yang Xiaotian.
Onlookers could see, around Yang Xiaotian’s head and body, snowflakes began to flutter about.
And the snowflakes became more numerous, covering the entire Hundred Swords Plaza.
At that time, the sun was shining fiercely, yet Hundred Swords Plaza was swirling with snowflakes—such a miraculous scene struck at the hearts of all present.
The second Stone Sword Technique that Yang Xiaotian was comprehending was the “Cold Moon Sword Technique.”
The first Stone Sword was the “Fiery Sun Sword Technique,” and now the second was the “Cold Moon Sword Technique,” one yang and one yin, one firm and one soft.
In time, yin and yang would alternate, strength and softness would complement each other, and the power of the two Sword Techniques was bound to increase dramatically once again.
As time went on, the snowflakes in Hundred Swords Plaza grew denser and more intense.
Snowflakes spun in the wind, as if they were dragons made of snowflakes in motion.
At the same time, an astonishing chill spread across the sky and covered the earth.
Everyone standing in the plaza couldn’t help but step back in amazement.
Just as the snowflakes seemed to spill out of the plaza, suddenly, they halted at its edge.
Then, the Sword Qi from the Stone Sword began to slowly dissipate.
The snowflake Sword Qi around Yang Xiaotian’s body retracted back into him.
The snowflakes that had been dancing in the sunshine almost instantaneously disappeared without a trace.
Yang Xiaotian opened his eyes.
He saw Hu Xing standing among the crowd, staring at him with a face full of jealousy and hate.
Their gazes collided.
In the midst of the crowd’s shock, Lin Yong and Chen Yuan came over.
Compared to yesterday, they were even more excited.
“Xiaotian, how do you feel?” Chen Yuan asked Yang Xiaotian with a tone that cherished him as a precious treasure, his voice so gentle and his smile so bright that it made everyone gulp.
Yang Xiaotian knew Chen Yuan was asking if he felt any discomfort.
After all, he had comprehended two Stone Swords for two consecutive days, and there was a fear that he might not be able to digest the experience, which could hinder his future cultivation.
“I’m fine,” Yang Xiaotian shook his head.
The anxious Lin Yong and Chen Yuan finally let their hanging hearts settle.
“If there’s nothing wrong, then I will head back first,” Yang Xiaotian said to the two Deans.
Lin Yong hurriedly said, “Alright, after you go back, don’t push yourself too hard in your cultivation. Don’t tire yourself, you are at the age where you’re growing.”
Don’t tire yourself.
You are at the age where you’re growing?
Everyone looked at Lin Yong with a surprised gaze.
When had their always strict and stuffy Dean learned to be so concerned about his students?
“Alright, Dean,” Yang Xiaotian responded to Lin Yong, and after speaking, he left Hundred Swords Plaza.
In the sunlight, Yang Xiaotian’s figure gradually walked further away.
Yang Xiaotian’s slender figure seemed to be cloaked in a golden light.
Watching Yang Xiaotian depart, both Lin Yong and Chen Yuan were overwhelmed with excitement.
“Let’s speed up the collection of books about Martial Soul from all over the world,” Lin Yong suddenly said to Chen Yuan.
He was becoming more and more anxious to find out what exactly Yang Xiaotian’s Martial Soul was.
“Alright,” Chen Yuan nodded.
Not to mention Yang Xiaotian continuing to practice the Cold Moon Sword Technique when he returned to his residence, Hu Xing went back to his yard and furiously slashed with his sword, shattering all the stone stumps to pieces.
“Senior Brother Hu, Yang Xiaotian now lives outside the academy, should I find a chance to kill him?” Deng Yi, who was loyal to Hu Xing, suggested, making a throat-cutting gesture.
Deng Yi, capable of becoming an Inner Court Student of Divine Sword Academy, naturally had excellent talent and was not weak in cultivation, being at the Innate level ten.
Hu Xing shook his head, “Killing him within Divine Sword City would draw too much attention.” After thinking for a moment, he added, “During the final exam, there’s a field beast hunting assessment. We’ll act then, when he is in the wild.”
With coldness in his eyes, he said, “I want that kid to disappear without a trace!”
In past final exams that included beast hunting in the wild, there had been students devoured by beasts. This time, he would ensure Yang Xiaotian’s death by the maws of ferocious beasts.
If Yang Xiaotian were to die to fierce beasts, even if Divine Sword Academy tried to investigate, it would be very difficult to find any clues.
Deng Yi smirked, ‘Good, then we’ll wait until the final exam’s field beast hunting to kill him.” Speaking up to here, he hesitated, “Is it possible that this kid could continue to comprehend the Stone Sword tomorrow?”
Hu Xing felt as if his entire being was struck, his body tensed, and his voice hoarse, “I’ll be damned if he can comprehend the third Stone Sword tomorrow!”
