Chapter 63 – Giving Special Lessons to the Empress Disciple

In the crowd, Qin Yang watched the departing Lincoln limousine, his expression dazed as he sank into deep contemplation.

No system notification?

So Yuwen Xuan isn’t the Sword Demon after all?

In that case, it seems the Grassland Sword Saint isn’t the future Sword Demon – it’s his disciple Huyan Jian he’s training!

Having reached this conclusion, Qin Yang couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

Although the damn system often acted up,

He had always taken seriously its future evaluations.

“Huyan Jian’s talent is actually this monstrous… To become a genuine Emperor-Class powerhouse five hundred years later, fighting his way out from among countless living beings – he can’t be underestimated.”

“But then again, no matter how strong he is in the future… what does that have to do with the present?”

“At most, the current Huyan Jian is at Innate Realm level, not yet reaching Grandmaster Realm. I can still overpower him!”

Thinking this,

Qin Yang felt slightly relieved.

He immediately began considering how to reap rewards from this junior.

Strike while the iron is hot.

With his advantage in information disparity, holding all the favorable conditions, plus being at Grandmaster Realm himself, defeating a mere Huyan Jian would naturally be effortless.

As for reaping rewards…

Nothing shameful about that!

But the current problem was, how to maximize the benefits?

And what should be done about this Grassland Sword Saint?

“Hmm…”

Qin Yang stroked his chin, recalling the Grassland Sword Saint’s arrogant expression earlier.

He immediately felt it was somewhat tricky.

Judging from Yuwen Xuan’s words and actions earlier, the man was undoubtedly a martial arts fanatic.

If he instantly defeated his disciple, this old fanatic would probably immediately follow up, pestering him for a duel.

It would inevitably become one of those annoying situations where “after beating the junior, the senior comes next”!

“Tsk, just thinking about it is troublesome…”

At this thought, Qin Yang shook his head vigorously, then turned to look at Li Zixuan at the entrance.

Deciding to take another route to reap rewards.

That was to have Li Zixuan fight in his place!

Now that she was his disciple, she had long been bound together with him.

And this challenge at Jianghai Academy was essentially a new fork in fate caused by his earlier slaying of the leech demon.

The two of them were pieces in this game,

While he was the manipulator standing above the chessboard…

If he had his disciple defeat Huyan Jian, he would definitely reap abundant rewards too!

“Not bad, not bad, this route works!”

Thinking this, Qin Yang suddenly saw the light, immediately feeling new anticipation within.

Having his disciple fight while he didn’t need to lift a finger, reaping the spoils without effort.

Winning while lying down!

Just thinking about it felt comfortable!

“But I wonder how the Empress disciple’s current strength is.”

“Can she match up against that Huyan Jian?”

With this thought,

Qin Yang looked at Li Zixuan at the entrance, immediately having the idea of giving her extra training.

Since he was going to bet on her, raising the winning probability by just a tiny bit…

Wasn’t excessive, right?

And his requirements weren’t high either.

He only needed Li Zixuan’s winning probability to reach about two hundred percent.

Thinking this, Qin Yang’s lips moved slightly, directly transmitting his voice to Li Zixuan.

“Come to Sword Valley tonight.”

The next moment.

The words sounded softly beside Li Zixuan, barely audible.

Hearing this, Li Zixuan trembled slightly, instantly widening her eyes as she looked blankly at the surrounding crowd.

“Master?”

“Master is here too!?”She was overjoyed in her heart but didn’t show it, maintaining her usual composure.

So her master had arrived too.

The pressure she had felt from Yuwen Xuan earlier vanished completely at this moment…

As the noisy crowd began to disperse,

After sending the message, Qin Yang felt relieved and quietly blended into the crowd with Xia He, turning away from the academy entrance.

“Old Qin, do you think that girl can win?”

On the way, Xia He glanced back at Li Zixuan and whispered, “That Sword Saint’s disciple looks really fierce, clearly very strong. I feel like this girl might lose.”

“No, she will win. Li Zixuan is guaranteed to win this round.”

Qin Yang smiled and strode toward the Library.

Hearing this, Xia He teased,

“Hey, Old Qin, you can’t just say that because you like her…”

…………………

Time passed in the blink of an eye.

Night fell before they knew it.

Under the bright moon and sparse stars, the wind howled through Sword Valley, causing the pine forest to sway violently in the fierce gale.

Li Zixuan had arrived at Sword Valley early and was now sitting on a rugged rock, waiting while gazing absently at the bright moon in the night sky.

For this meeting, she had long been prepared.

All she needed was for Qin Yang to appear.

“Disciple.”

A familiar, gentle call sounded nearby.

Qin Yang, draped in a Black Robe, appeared as promised near her.

“Teacher, you’re here.”

Seeing him, Li Zixuan quickly rose from the rock, brushed the dust off her clothes, and approached Qin Yang with a respectful bow.

“Hmm.”

Qin Yang nodded slightly and immediately released his spiritual energy to assess her condition.

At this moment, Li Zixuan’s Sword Intent was vibrant and sharp-edged, clearly indicating she had been training diligently during this period.

“Good. I observe your Sword Intent has taken initial form. Very good,” Qin Yang remarked with satisfaction.

“Thank you for the praise, Teacher.”

Li Zixuan smiled sweetly, warmth flowing through her heart at Qin Yang’s compliment. “In a few days, your disciple will compete and will definitely not disgrace you, Teacher.”

“Hmm.”

Hearing this, Qin Yang felt a secret thrill.

This girl is so considerate.

She even knows how to share his worries.

“Since that’s the case, as the Heavenly Law rewards diligence, today I will also lend you a hand to fully comprehend the essence of Sword Intent.”

Qin Yang looked at Li Zixuan, raised two fingers, and pointed toward the depths of her brow.

In the next moment,

Profound spiritual energy surged from his fingertips, flooding into Li Zixuan’s mind, carrying with it vast insights into Sword Intent.

“Mmm.”

As the knowledge rushed in aggressively, Li Zixuan felt an immediate throbbing at her temples and couldn’t help but let out a soft moan, gasping faintly.

After all,

One cannot become fat with a single mouthful.

Even though this Sword Intent held no aggression, it still required time to digest and understand.

Seeing this, Qin Yang naturally understood and softly advised,

“Focus your spirit and calmly meditate, savoring the insights carefully.”

As his words fell,

Li Zixuan quickly nodded, sat cross-legged on the ground, and immersed herself in comprehending the Sword Intent.

Chaotic strands of Sword Intent swarmed in her mind, vast as an ocean—not only insights into One Sword Opens Heaven’s Gate but also countless foundational Swordplay experiences Qin Yang had gained through the Enlightenment Space.

Returning to simplicity, reaching the pinnacle of mastery.

Two hours later.Li Zixuan’s hair clung to her forehead as she slowly opened her eyes, finally fully comprehending this Sword Intent inheritance.

“Hah, Teacher’s Sword Intent is truly profound and mysterious.”

She took a long, deep breath, suddenly sensing the surroundings had become vast and open.

Qin Yang’s figure had long vanished without a trace…

Just as she was feeling puzzled, the spiritual message left by Qin Yang timely echoed—

“Continue tomorrow night.”
