A single lesson from Xuan Yi was comparable to more than a few lessons of an ordinary teacher. Who wouldn’t want to pursue such a lesson?
Every time the class schedule was issued, the entire high school would be in a heated discussion as the first thing everyone would do would be to flip through it, all for the sake of finding Xuan Yi’s public lecture.
However, a few weeks had passed, and everyone found nothing. Their hopes were always dashed.
“After listening to a lesson from Teacher Xuan Yi, I felt that my cultivation of the way of the sword had greatly advanced to another level. It’s just that I regret that I didn’t manage to comprehend the embryonic form of sword intent last time. If I were to listen to another lesson from Teacher Xuan Yi, I would definitely be able to grasp the embryonic form of sword intent.”
Someone clenched his fists and his eyes shone.
“Don’t even think about it. I’ve asked around from the Dao of Alchemy Manor. It’s not often that there are lessons from Master Xuan. If you want to attend Master Xuan’s lesson, you can only depend on his mood and our fate.”
After hearing these words, everyone’s faces fell. After witnessing Master Xuan’s lessons, they finally understood how vast the field of swordsmanship was. This was something that an ordinary teacher wouldn’t be able to fully explain.
“Sigh, I wonder when the Master Xuan’s next lesson will start.”
Everyone looked at one another and sighed in unison. Envy rose in their hearts towards Master Xuan’s six disciples.
To be able to become Xuan Yi’s disciple and follow behind the master to listen to his teachings at any time was a great fortune for them.
At this moment, they returned to their own little courtyard and continued their closed-door cultivation.
He could faintly feel that he had already taken a step forward. There was only one thing missing in his heart.
This closed-door cultivation lasted two months.
Two months on he heard an interesting news. Dao Zheng was defeated by someone.
And it was only by a single move.
Xuan Yi’s interest was piqued as he carefully studied the situation.
Back then, although he had defeated Dao Zheng with a single move, only Xuan Yi was able to do so among the sect leaders of the southern continent. Even Wu Wentian, who was about to break through, was unable to do so.
They were both at the sect leader realm. There was actually someone else who could defeat Dao Zheng, who was at the peak of the sect leader realm, with a single move. To Xuan Yi, this was truly interesting.
“There are still many experts in the world after all.”
Xuan Yi shook his head slightly, feeling amused.
That Dao Zheng had caused a stir in the southern continent previously, and he indeed had strong capabilities. However, he would never have thought that he could actually lose consecutively.
Going back to more than a month ago.
After Dao Zheng lost to Xuan Yi, he returned to the river region and carefully considered the move that Xuan Yi used with his sword. From this, he comprehended some things. Although his realm had not broken through, his combat strength had indeed increased a little.
Dao Zheng felt that other than Xuan Yi, he could more or less fight against the other top experts with no issue.
However, he did not expect that someone would come knocking on his door on the same day.
“I am Yang Wudao. I heard that there will be an expert in the southern continent. He is known as a martial arts maniac, and a sword fanatic!”
Yang’s spiritual essence surged, and he specifically requested for a battle with Dao Zheng.
“I have heard of you for a long time. I am here to ask for your advice.”
Boom!
Dao Zheng was indeed a known martial arts maniac who loved to fight. Suddenly, a person who he had never heard of came to his door and announced that he wanted to challenge him.
Furthermore, Dao Zheng could faintly feel a terrifying aura fluctuating from the newcomer’s body. In addition, Dao Zheng had just received quite a bit of enlightenment from Xuan Yi’s sword. He immediately flew out and chose to accept the challenge.
Dao Zheng’s eyes shone with a bright light as he floated in mid-air. The morality around him disappeared, and the entire space trembled behind him.
Weng!
The heavy black iron saber in his hand, which had been reforged, emitted a heavy Weng Sound.
The tyrannical and bloodthirsty battle intent rushed out like a cavalry, emitting smoke and soaring into the sky.
“We, experts from the southern continent’s realm, have never heard of your name. Perhaps if you chose someone else, you might be able to become famous in a single battle. However, choosing me, Dao Zheng, is your misfortune!”
Dao Zheng flashed a faint smile as he brandished his heavy saber. He pointed his saber straight at Yang Wudao.
Even the known experts would have to weigh his might.
“So-so. He has some strength.”
Boom!
With a single strike, the entire river region emitted a rumbling sound. Boundless lightning surrounded it, and the sky and earth changed color!
Peng!
Dao Zheng’s entire body was charred black. He spurted a mouthful of fresh blood and he was sent flying.
With a single strike, Dao Zheng was defeated!
Some of the spectators who came after hearing the news widened their eyes and looked at Yang Wudao in disbelief.
They originally thought that the person who came to challenge Dao Zheng was an idiot who could not see the situation clearly and thought that he would be able to defeat Dao Zheng because Dao Zheng had lost to Xuan Yi. In the end, they did not expect that this Yang Wudao was actually a true expert.
Dao Zheng who was one of the top experts was unable to block a single strike from him.
“Who are you?”
Dao Zheng’s chest had sunken in, and there was blood at the corner of his mouth. His eyes were wide open as he looked at Yang Wudao in disbelief.
It was impossible for someone with such strength to be unheard of in the sect leaders’ realm. Even Xuan Yi had once killed an expert of the sect leaders’ realm.
Even a martial maniac like him could not take being defeated by a single move twice in a row.
Where did this expert come from? How could he defeat him in one move without making any movements?
Dao Zheng was someone who had strong capabilities and rarely collapsed.
Xuan Yi also defeated him in one move.
It was unknown which of the two was more abnormal.
“I said, my name is Yang Wudao.”
That person lifted his head to look at Dao Zheng and shook his head in disappointment. He seemed to be very dissatisfied.
“I’m from the northern continent.”
“The southern continent’s sect leaders aren’t all at your level right?”
Yang Wudao sized Dao Zheng up from head to toe and shook his head slightly, showing disdain.
“If the southern continent’s sect leads and cultivators are all at your level of strength, then that would be too disappointing.”
Dong!
He put away his long sword and slammed it heavily onto the ground.
Boom!
A wave of air suddenly shook, and the surrounding spectators felt their hearts skip a beat. It was as if they were enveloped and they were instantly seen through by others.
Padah!
Upon hearing this, Dao Zheng’s eyes emitted killing intent, and he clenched his fists tightly.
A northern continent cultivator had just become so rampant in the southern continent.
After a few breaths, he panted heavily, and his gaze became serious. He fixed his gaze on Yang Wudao, who was standing proudly.
“You said you came from the northern continent!”
“Let’s not talk about how you came here. You must here to check out the strength of our southern continent’s sect leaders’ realm.”
Dao Zheng looked at Yang Wudao. His eyes shone as he said, “There are a total of ten sect leader experts on our southern continent’s list. If you really want to see the strength of our southern continent’s cultivator why look for someone like me who is not on the list?”
Dao Zheng clearly did not care about his own reputation, even in front of a cultivator from the northern continent. Back then, when he was pushed off the list, he caused quite a ruckus in the entire southern continent and even challenged the Xuan Yi.
But now, it seems that he had admitted that he was inferior to the experts on the list.
Yang Wudao frowned slightly.
He was obviously a cultivator from the northern continent and he was a disciple of the north continent’s divine sword family.
The Yang family was an ancient family of the northern continent and their divine sword was famous for its power. Almost all the disciples of the Yang family cultivated in divine sword techniques.
