What?! You want me to be the Herrscher of the End?!

"I'll go prepare some food first, and also check on what the two little ones are doing."

Seeing that Bai Mo had returned to training, Ying did not linger any longer and immediately turned and left.

Bai Mo nodded after seeing it, but didn't say anything more.

.................................

Another half hour passed, during which Bai Mo elevated the training method to a spiritual level.

After all, the power of knowledge is not something so inconvenient! Directly arranging a hypothetical enemy for combat would definitely lead to rapid progress.

This is what is meant by multitasking.

During the training process, Bai Mo also gave up using the wooden sword and instead chose the Seven Thunders of Purification.

Let's just consider it a trial run.

"Rain Four Lights!"

......

"Moon Viewing Wine!"

......

Bolts of lightning exploded in the air, their crackling sounds echoing throughout the dojo for a long time.

The training dummy was cleaved in two with a single stroke, the cut surface perfectly smooth.

The scattered lightning, carrying unparalleled power, blasted away all the remaining dummies around them, leaving charred marks on their bodies.

That strike was not insurmountable!

After such a long period of training, Bai Mo successfully absorbed it and made it a part of his own strength.

As for the remaining sword techniques, Sakura hasn't taught them yet...

Chapter 248 Sword Heart Penetration

call.......

With a dashing flourish, Bai Mo sheathed his sword... cough cough, well, it seems Miss Di Zui Qi Lei doesn't actually have a scabbard.

But that doesn't stop her from showing off her cool side.

Bai Mo took out a handkerchief, wiped the sweat from his face, and then ran to the basin next to him to wash his face.

It's cool and refreshing, very comfortable.

"If this were still in Paradise, I bet Sakura would give me a [Moment] mark."

Bai Mo muttered to himself, the smile never fading from his face.

After all, this sword technique called "Moment" is in a class of its own, both in terms of strength and coolness.

Now, when I see Mei again, I can spar with her swords!

The clash between Hokushin Ittō-ryū and Setsuna is exciting just to think about.

Thinking this way, Bai Mo began to look forward to the arrival of this day.

Moreover, whether it's the Taixu Sword Technique, the [Moment], or the things Kevin is about to teach me, I'm getting more and more things to show for myself.

Things are different now than they used to be; people always grow up gradually.

But great power often means greater responsibility, and also a huge price to pay, a point that Bai Mo is well aware of.

So, although Bai Mo was confused about the path Ying had chosen, she knew that all she needed to do was protect the people and things she valued most.

To quote Kevin, "You've chosen your path, so you have to go to the end of it, no matter the cost."

Of course, I would never get stuck on a single point. I should be flexible when necessary; that's the normal thing to do.

Thinking about this, Bai Mo seemed to have realized something from the depths of his heart.

Sword Heart Transcendence? Anyway, Bai Mo felt that his Taixu Sword Technique seemed to have reached a new level. What's this? Double happiness!

She never expected to receive such a pleasant surprise when she came to learn the "Moment" sword technique from Sakura, and for a moment she couldn't stop smiling.

Just then, Sakura pushed open the dojo door and walked towards Bai Mo.

She was holding a tray with three different flavored rice balls and miso soup on it.

Seeing this, Bai Mo quickly took out two cushions from the side and gestured for Ying to sit on them.

"It seems you've made a great discovery, Aqi."

After sitting down, Sakura looked at Bai Mo, whose aura had clearly changed, and spoke.

"Hehe, as expected, I couldn't escape Sister Ying's eyes. That's right, I can now be considered to have a clear understanding of swordsmanship!"

The Taixu Sword Qi encompasses the five aggregates: mind, form, intention, soul, and spirit. Bai Mo has already entered the realm of intention, and his inner lake of consciousness has reached the level of clarity.

Although I'm still quite a distance from being able to unleash the Sword God's power, at least I've made progress, haven't I?

Moreover, she has already mastered the [Moment] sword technique she has learned.

In less than a day, this learning speed is already terrifying.

"A clear and penetrating sword heart... If Hua knew this, she would be very happy, after all, this can be considered her legacy."

"Alright, you've been training for so long, Aqi, you should eat something too."

Coming to her senses, Sakura casually picked up a rice ball and handed it over.

Bai Mo took a bite, and a refreshing fragrance spread. Its soft and chewy texture was truly irresistible.

"By the way, what are Gretchen and Rin doing?"

"Those two little ones are doing a puzzle under the cherry blossom tree. What, Aqi, are you interested too?"

"Puzzle? Forget about it, it's too brain-intensive and not for me."

Upon hearing this, Bai Mo shook his head and refused.

After all, even if each piece of a jigsaw puzzle has a number written on the back, it still takes her a long time to put it together.

"Really? Anyway, the two little ones seem quite interested in this."

"After all, they're just kids, and I feel like little Gretchen's sister would be very interested in this too."

"younger sister?"

Sakura looked at Bai Mo with a puzzled expression. More than 50,000 years had passed, and Gretchen still had a younger sister? How could she not know anything about her?

"It's Ellie. After all, Ellie always tricks Gretsch into calling her Ellie's little sister. And Sakura-nee, don't you think that with Ellie's personality, she wouldn't be interested in this kind of thing?"

Bai Mo noticed Ying's unusual behavior and immediately spoke up to explain.

"........"

Upon hearing this, Sakura was momentarily speechless. Indeed, if it were Alicia, she would definitely play with the two little ones.

Although Sakura didn't speak, the smile that unconsciously appeared on her lips had already revealed her thoughts at that moment.

Bai Mo seized the opportunity and immediately said, "See, Sister Ying, you really think so too, right? It's okay, it's okay, just say it. Anyway, Ai Li just went to rest and won't be back for a while."

With a mischievous grin on his face, Bai Mo's smile froze the next second when a familiar voice rang out.

Wow, that's fast! The speed at which they change their tune is incredible.

"Huh? My dear Aqi, what were you saying just now? Could you please let me hear it again?"

Once awake, Alicia reached out and poked "her" face, speaking in a very playful tone.

"......"

Bai Mo smiled awkwardly, unsure how to respond.

You wicked woman! Didn't you say you were bored and went to rest?!

They have no martial ethics and actually resort to sneak attacks!

"Ahem, Airi, you must have misheard me. I was discussing sword techniques with Sakura-nee the whole time!"

"You're right, right, Sakura-nee!"

Having finally come up with an excuse, Bai Mo subconsciously blinked, seemingly trying to bribe Ying to cover for him.

However, she seemed to have forgotten that Alicia could sense all of her little actions.

“Aqi was indeed discussing sword techniques with me just now.”

There was really nothing more Ying could do to help, so she could only give Bai Mo a look that said, "This is all I can do for you."

And for some reason, Sakura actually found the current scene quite amusing. In Chinese terms, this must be what a pair of bickering lovers would be like.

Shaking her head, Sakura took a sip of tea, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"Look, even Sakura-neechan said so, Airi, you must have misheard!"

"You always misunderstand me. If you do this again, I won't talk to you anymore."

Now that he felt more confident, Bai Mo pretended to be angry and said...

"Okay, okay, I misunderstood. I apologize. Aqi, please don't be angry anymore, okay?"

Remembering how she had tricked Bai Mo that morning, Alicia had no choice but to let her have her way.

Bai Mo hadn't expected Alicia to act this way, and this caught him completely off guard.

Chapter 249 Exusiai:.........

"Then... I'll forgive you."

Alicia's unusual behavior made Bai Mo feel a little unsure, but he still weakly said something.

After all, the steps have been laid out; how could I not go down?

"You've made great progress in just half a day, Aqi. Did you learn something good from Ying?"

Since it was within Bai Mo's consciousness, Alicia could also sense the changes in the Heart Lake.

"Yes, I have indeed learned a lot from Sister Ying."
