Chapter 26: Fame in a Single Battle

Piao Jiansheng stepped into the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper stance and changed from holding the sword in one hand to holding it in both hands一lifting it up in front of his body.

A cold and chilly sword intent emerged.

One second!

Two seconds!

Three Seconds!

He moved!

He was very fast, and he disappeared almost instantly.

No one could keep up with his speed. They could only judge his position based on the direction he was moving in.

The moment Piao Jiansheng made his move, Qin Yuyan also moved.

She bent her waist and gathered her strength to burst forward.

The saber intent that she had comprehended from Ye Xiao was exceptionally bright in her mind at that moment.

Only at the limits of life and death would she be able to better perceive and comprehend that saber intent.

The saber was the overlord of all weapons.

No matter who the enemy in front of her was, she will sweep ahead with unstoppable power and defeat everything!

Although she was one step behind Piao Jiansheng, the momentum of the saber easily made up for it.

Everyone only felt the figures of the two flash. In the next moment, the entire arena suddenly exploded with a large explosion.

Boom!

The huge explosion created a shockwave that hit countless students and caused them to lose their balance.

Although Du Changfeng and Qin Shenlong were not affected by the shockwave because of their extremely strong cultivation, they were still shocked.

A genius was a genius!

The two of them had suppressed their cultivation to the fifth grade of the Houtian realm, yet they were able to burst out with such combat strength. It was at least comparable to the sixth grade of the Houtian realm.

That was the limit of an ordinary person, and they might not even be able to burst out with such strength.

When the fluctuations dispersed, everyone stabilized their bodies. Piao Jiansheng had already arrived at the spot where Qin Yuyan had just stood, and Qin Yuyan had also stood at the spot where he had just stood. The two of them stood with their backs facing each other.

The entire martial arts hall was deathly silent. Everyone’s eyes were wide open. They did not even dare to breathe loudly. All that was left was the sound of their hearts beating continuously in their minds.

One second…

Two seconds…

Three seconds…

Four seconds…

Five seconds…

Splat!

Finally, Qin Yuyan spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.

“Cough, cough…”

A trickle of blood slowly trickled down from the corner of Piao Jiansheng’s mouth, but he still stood firm. That meant that he had won.

Qin Yuyan still lost, but she had used two months of saber art training to fight with Piao Jiansheng, who had cultivated sword art for more than 20 years. Who could say that she had not won?

Qin Shenglong and Du Changfeng quickly went to Qin Yuyan’s side. Du Changfeng injected spiritual energy into her to heal her and also checked her injuries.

“Little girl, how are you?”

Qin Shenglong asked with a worried face.

Qin Yuyan smiled apologetically.

“I’m sorry, grandpa. I’ve embarrassed you.”

Qin Shenglong held Qin Yuyan’s little hand tightly and shook his head repeatedly. He was so overwhelmed with emotion that his eyes were slightly red.

“Silly girl, you did a great job. You are the pride of our Qin family.”

Du Changfeng said with a faint smile,

“It’s nothing serious. It’s just that your spiritual energy is in a mess but your meridians are not injured. You’ll be fine after recuperating for a while.”

Hearing that, Qin Shenglong finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Piao Jiansheng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and slowly walked in front of Qin Yuyan. He nodded at Qin Yuyan and said,

“Thank you. This is the most meaningful battle I’ve encountered in the nine provinces. If you practice saber techniques for a longer period of time, you and I might be able to have another battle.”

Qin Yuyan nodded.

“Thank you for your praise. Your strength in sword art really lives up to its reputation!”

The two of them looked at each other and smiled. The entire martial art hall burst into thunderous applause.

Regardless of whether it was Piao Jiansheng’s strength or Qin Yuyan’s hard work, they were all worthy of applause.

After that, Piao Jiansheng bade farewell to everyone and left with Section Chief Jin.

His goal to challenge sword art martial artists still had to continue.

Until… He meets a person who could defeat him!

The video of the two’s match was also posted on the forum, and it was quickly hyped up.

Qin Yuyan was brought to the director’s office by her grandfather.

“Yuyan, tell grandfather honestly. Who taught you your saber technique? Was it that martial artist who appeared in our Jianghai city?”

Qin Yuyan nodded. She had comprehended the other’s saber intent, which could be considered as learning from his saber technique.

“I knew it would be him!”

Qin Shenglong hammered his left palm with his fist, his eyes shining with excitement.

“Then where is your master? Take us to him quickly!”

Qin Yuyan’s face was troubled.

“I… I don’t know who he is at all. I don’t know where he is.”

“How is that possible? You are already his disciple. You don’t even know who he is?”

Qin Yuyan nodded and immediately shook her head.

“That day, I was cultivating by the river when I happened to see him advance. I begged him to take me in as his disciple and he refused. I was the one who comprehended the saber intent from his saber mark. I am slowly comprehending this saber intent, but… My brain might be too stupid. Up until now, I’ve only comprehended less than two percent of it.”

The two old men were completely dumbfounded. They were so shocked that they were speechless.

Less than two percent of the saber intent could actually raise Qin Yuyan’s saber technique to such a level?

‘Wasn’t this heaven-defying person going a little too far?’

One had to know that Qin Yuyan had shaken the corner of Piao Jiansheng’s mouth until blood flowed out with just that tiny bit of saber intent. If it was a few percent more, that would mean that she would be on par with Piao Jiansheng.

If it was just a few more, would she have been able to instantly kill Piao Jiansheng?

“What a prodigy!”

Du Changfeng could not help but sigh deeply.

“Previously, I thought that he might be a demigod. Now, it seems that his cultivation is probably above the demigod sect!”

“What!?”

Qin Shenglong cried out in surprise, and his face began to flush due to his excessive excitement.

That was simply unimaginable.

Above the demigod sect, that was…

Although they had not taken Qin Yuyan as their disciple, they had given her a saber intent and had a connection.

How fortunate was that?

Then, Du Changfeng’s phone suddenly rang.

He waved his phone and gestured to his Qin Shenglong and his granddaughter before walking to the side to answer the phone.

Qin Yuyan looked at her grandfather carefully.

“Grandpa, can I practice saber techniques in the future?”

“Of course! Our Qin family will stop practicing sword techniques starting from your generation and will change to saber techniques. In the future, you can practice saber techniques wholeheartedly. I will support you with all his strength!”

Qin Yuyan finally heaved a sigh of relief.

“Thank you, grandpa.”

A moment later, Du Changfeng walked back with a face full of spring breeze.

“Guess who called me?”

“Who?”

Qin Shenglong could not help but ask, while Du Changfeng mysteriously replied,

“My principal! He wants to specially invite Yuyan to study at Jingdou Martial Arts Academy!”

“Really?”

Qin Shenglong was so excited that he began to tremble.

That was Jingdou, a place where all the students of the nine provinces dreamed of going.

“If I’m not wrong, in a while, the other top martial arts academies in the country will also look for you. Now, Yuyan is completely famous.”

“Good! Good! Good!”

Qin Shenglong said excitedly.

“Our Qin family has really produced a talent this time!”
