Chapter 69 – Peak Grandmaster Realm! Xiaobai: What Kind of Freak Is This Guy!

Huyan Jian widened his eyes, a look of shock appearing on his face.

So this Li Zixuan…

Was actually the Sword God’s personal disciple?

This news was simply too explosive. If it spread, it would surely cause an uproar and spark another wave of online controversy!

“Disciple, don’t be hasty. Think carefully first…”

Yuwen Xuan said slowly: “You are my, Yuwen Xuan’s, disciple. Below the Innate Realm, you have no match.

And the highest strength in Jianghai City is only at the Peak Innate Realm. How could they possibly produce a genius like Li Zixuan?”

Hearing this.

Huyan Jian frowned slightly and quickly understood Yuwen Xuan’s meaning.

That’s right.

The other party was just from Jianghai Martial Arts Academy…

With meager teaching resources, the only one worth mentioning was Elder Li at the Peak Innate Realm. To put it bluntly, he could easily take on all those Acquired Realm teachers in a group fight.

How could they possibly possess swordplay capable of breaking through ‘Myriad Swords Return’?

With this thought.

Huyan Jian stood up from the sofa, let out a sigh of relief as the doubt in his heart was resolved.

His mind suddenly felt as vast as the sea and sky.

No longer burdened by any depression.

After that battle on the Martial Arts Stage, he had thought Li Zixuan was exceptionally talented, having comprehended such swordplay on her own.

The thought of her being so genius.

Had made Huyan Jian’s Sword Heart somewhat unstable.

But fortunately.

Tonight, with Yuwen Xuan’s guidance.

He suddenly saw the light.

So Li Zixuan was just like him—guided by a master!

“Good, disciple. It’s good that you understand.”

Seeing Huyan Jian’s improved state, Yuwen Xuan smiled faintly: “It’s not easy to teach a disciple like Li Zixuan. This master is even more curious about the strength of this Jianghai Sword God.”

As he spoke, he walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the pedestrians on the street:

“Tomorrow, I will personally go to Sword Valley and await my battle with him!”

“Master…”

Hearing this, Huyan Jian hesitated: “I’ve heard this Jianghai Sword God is as elusive as a dragon. Will he really fight you?”

“Hehe, this master believes he will come.”

Yuwen Xuan smiled, the agate bracelet in his hand rotating smoothly as he patiently explained:

“Disciple, when you reach my level, you will understand.

Breaking through the Grandmaster Realm is extremely difficult, especially relying on moments of inspiration. And battle is an important means to obtain such opportunities.”

“So this master believes that to break through his own strength, he will definitely come!”

…

Meanwhile.

Qin Yang had returned to his home, comfortably leaning on the sofa while scrolling through short videos.

The clattering of pots and pans came from the kitchen, the atmosphere of daily life drifting through the air. Xiaobai stood on a small stool, washing and peeling vegetables. The slow-cooked soup in the pot had been simmering for three hours.

“The timing should be about right.”

Qin Yang calculated the time. If he absorbed the rewards now, it would perfectly lead into mealtime.

Comfortable!

Thinking this.

Qin Yang put down his phone and began to sink into the Enlightenment Space.

“Let’s start with you first!”

With a thought, Qin Yang began to absorb the system’s reward of a hundred years of cultivation.

Having absorbed it several times before, he was already familiar with the process, guiding the hundred years of cultivation to blend into his body.

Instantly!

Star Power surged powerfully, flowing through his limbs and bones, warm and comfortable.

Like soaking in a hot spring.Qin Yang leaned back comfortably against the sofa, arms resting on either side, savoring the changes in the Star Power within his body.

A warm current surged upward from his tailbone, slowly spreading, making him tremble and let out an involuntary sound.

“Huu~~”

A pleasurable moan escaped.

In the kitchen, Xiaobai’s beast ears twitched and immediately perked up alertly.

“?”

What kind of weird noise was her master making?

Curious, Xiaobai quickly put down the shelled shrimp meat and glanced in Qin Yang’s direction.

She saw him lying on the sofa in a “too” shape.

And emitting some strange sounds…

So weird!

Seeing this, Xiaobai didn’t understand what was happening but felt full of disdain.

She recalled hearing from other foxes before that male humans seem to have a special physiological condition.

Something called… egg-changing period?

“Could master be going through that?”

“Eww~~”

At this thought, the disgust on Xiaobai’s face intensified. Unable to bear watching any longer, she turned away and continued preparing the shrimp.

But just as she lowered her head…

Boom!

A massive surge of Star Power suddenly erupted, sweeping through every corner of the room and instantly interrupting her actions.

Like a mountain collapsing and tsunami raging, it directly pressed down on her until she could barely breathe!

“???”

Xiaobai’s tail fluffed up in fright, instinctively grabbing a plate to shield herself.

Such terrifying Star Pressure!

“Th-this is Peak Grandmaster Realm level!”

Had an enemy arrived?!

Xiaobai’s sense of crisis exploded. She quickly traced the source of the Star Pressure while rushing to Qin Yang’s side, planning to wake him up so they could escape.

This fairy’s life is in your hands.

We live and die together.

Losing eggs is a small matter, but losing your life is the real problem!

Thinking this, Xiaobai quickly ran toward Qin Yang.

But the closer she got, the more intense the unknown Star Pressure became.

When she reached about two meters from Qin Yang, the terrifying Star Pressure had even condensed into substance, preventing any further approach!

“?”

Xinobai was completely bewildered. She stared blankly at Qin Yang on the sofa, her face full of shock as she finally understood what was happening.

Again!

He’s doing it again!

This human actually broke through again!

“How is this possible?”

Xiaobai crouched in place, hugging her tail and questioning her life.

What kind of monster is this guy? He never cultivates normally, just lazes around in the Library every day, so how does he break through so easily?

And…

It’s actually Peak Grandmaster Realm level!

“Ridiculous!”

Xiaobai instantly went numb. After thinking for a moment, she could only tuck her tail between her legs and tremble back to the kitchen to continue preparing the remaining ingredients.

No choice.

A fox’s life in this world – following one’s heart comes first…

Meanwhile.

Qin Yang had completely absorbed his hundred years of cultivation and began absorbing the remaining two rewards.

The “Profound Heaven Pill Scripture” focused on Pills.

It contained all the wonderful theories of pill formulas under heaven, recording countless pharmacological principles and techniques where saving or killing someone depended on a single thought.

Relying on his heaven-defying comprehension, Qin Yang instantly mastered it all, understanding everything.

“Not bad, not bad, though my head feels quite itchy.”

Qin Yang scratched his head contentedly and continued merging with the final Emperor-Class movement martial art – “Close at Hand.”

After a moment.

All the rewards from the system had been fully received.

“Comfortable.”

Qin Yang opened his eyes in satisfaction and saw that Xiaobai had already started serving the food, ready for the meal.

So he used “Close at Hand,” instantly moving to her side, which immediately made her tremble all over and let out a fox’s yipping sound.

“Strange?”Seeing this, Qin Yang felt somewhat puzzled.

Why does it feel like Xiaobai tonight…

seems more afraid of me?

…………

The next morning, early dawn.

Library.

Qin Yang leisurely clocked in for work. As he approached and entered the building, he noticed that today’s visitor flow seemed particularly sparse.

Far fewer than usual.

Normally at this time, people would already be lining up at the entrance, ready to rush in and secure seats in the lounge.

But now there were only a handful of people.

“Hiss, today isn’t a closure day either?”

Just as Qin Yang was wondering, he suddenly spotted Xia He from afar, holding his Phone and jogging over while excitedly pointing at the screen and shouting:

“Check your Phone, Old Qin! Something major has happened!”

“Sword Valley! The Sword Saint is publicly challenging the Jianghai Sword God at Sword Valley!”
