Within half a day, Tingyun had gotten used to dropping the self-reference "little woman".

Just as she was about to step forward to help, Bai Yan snatched the fan from Ting Yun's hand at a speed she couldn't see.

Faced with Tingyun's doubts, Bai Yan smiled and said, "This weapon is not suitable for you right now. If you leave any flaws in this area, all the makeup the makeup artist did to fix it will be for nothing."

The fox-people are naturally quick-witted and agile, and they fight in starships, using mostly ranged weapons.

Using a regular melee weapon is fine, but a fan...

Not to mention that there are very few people among the fox-people who use fans as weapons, even on the Luofu Immortal Ship, there are only a handful, and it would be difficult to find a second one.

Yu Kong had already given her the character "Yun" in her name, and since she also used a fan as a weapon, it was inevitable that everyone would wonder if she had any connection with Ting Yun.

"Furthermore, you should see clearly that she is not in trouble, but rather she is creating trouble for herself."

Thanks to Bai Yan's reminder, Ting Yun noticed that the creatures from the rift had no desire to attack her and Bai Yan, and even pretended not to see them.

They were focused on fighting, but why didn't these rift-created beings see them at all?

The few red bird-like creatures created by Yan Hua were also quietly flapping their wings in the air, seemingly just providing illumination.

Bai Yan used Tingyun's spare fan to cool himself down and explained briefly, "These rift creations have all been subdued by this child. They are just undergoing combat training now."

“If an ordinary person were to say that they could tame beings from other realms, I would not believe it. But if it is you, I will trust you, and judging from the situation, it is indeed the case.”

Using the light from Yan Hua's creations, Ting Yun observed the girl who was undergoing intensive training with the Rift Creations.

"I have seen the Cloud Cavalry train before, but none of them have been this dedicated."

Tingyun sighed, "I'm good at talking, but not at fighting. I only feel powerless when I'm really in danger. I wonder if I'll be so lucky again if I encounter another ominous sign."

She survived this ordeal thanks to the help of the Krus elves, and also received a deal from the Star God to return home.

Having been a merchant in Xinghai for many years, Tingyun knew that this path was not always smooth sailing.

There are many dangers and accidents in the universe, and even verbal skills are no match for a hostile enemy.

However, she has always had this gentle personality since childhood, unlike most fox people who always have a soft and gentle appearance when they are young. Not only does she not pluck people's fur, but even if someone plucks her fur, she still smiles and tries to persuade them to stop in a childish voice.

As a child, her lack of fighting spirit worried her parents, who were both military officers at the Tianbo Company.

Seeing that she was unable to inherit the family business, her parents finally gave up on the idea and let their child develop freely.

"Is he gentle and mild-mannered, and not good at fighting?"

The clear voice pulled Tingyun back from her past memories.

The deity who had been using her fan to cool herself had already found a bench to sit on in this abandoned waiting square.

"Do you know that some docile creatures still grow fangs? This fan is not sharp enough, too fragile, vulnerable to predators, and not even enough to ignite the last spark of life."

The other person admired the fan and continued, "Since we're already wearing makeup, let's go all the way and sharpen your fangs while we're at it. But it'll be difficult for you to bite off that imposter's neck yourself."

Tingyun quickly understood: "Does Mr. Baiyan mean that I should change my weapon and learn combat techniques?"

Long ago, Tingyun knew that the Sky Control Division had planned to entrust the future of the Sky Ship Division to her, but she was unsure whether she was qualified.

After all, the previous leaders of the Sky Ship Division were all ace pilots, and each of them was a warrior who had waded through mountains of knives and seas of fire—she had neither a better talent for piloting starships nor was she good at killing, making her worlds apart from the current Sky Ship Division's Captain, the Sky Pilot.

However, she later regained some confidence through her own business dealings.

But this ordeal made her feel powerless once again. Thinking of the heroic figures of the Tianbo Division, she felt a mix of emotions.

“Fox people are probably better at using ranged weapons, but you already have experience with close combat, so it would be more appropriate for you to switch to other melee weapons.”

“I know you don’t have the talent for martial arts, but I can help you. This is part of the makeup process, but once this is over, these fangs will fade away along with the makeup. Unless…”

Tingyun knew that for Mr. Baiyan in front of her, changing her species was an easy task, and adding some martial arts talent to her was even simpler.

"Unless what? Please tell me."

"Remember what I mentioned before, that I should thoroughly read your life, every detail from the past to the future. You've been in business for many years; take a look at this deal. You have plenty of time to consider it before this matter is resolved."

Tingyun maintained her speaking habits after changing her identity, nodding in agreement: "Yes, I'll consider it carefully. But you should have the ability to do this without my permission, so why are you still..."

Tingyun drew out her words, not finishing them.

Bai Yan naturally understood her meaning. He fanned himself with his fan and smiled, "You and I are both living beings, with no distinction of rank or status. You haven't done anything to offend me. It's that simple."

Just as Tingyun's white fox ears twitched slightly, as if she was about to say something.

Bai Yan added, "Don't think this is just pure goodwill. Communication between intelligent beings is rarely pure. Even biological parents have impure aspects when it comes to their children, let alone strangers. I, of course, also have my own purposes."

Tingyun also smiled: "But Mr. Baiyan, do you know that there is a saying, 'A gentleman judges by actions, not intentions'?"

Chapter 92 The Prodigy Lord of the Rift

"Time is short. I have a basic understanding of all kinds of weapons in this world. What would you like to learn?"

Today is my sixth day in Belleburg. In one more day, the Star Train will set off.

With Kafka and Tingyun present, the destination will change to the Luofu Immortal Boat.

Bai Yan took out a series of weapons from his storage device and placed them on the ground.

Swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks, forks... all kinds of weapons are available.

Tingyun, who was used to using fans, originally wanted to choose a short weapon, but considering the makeup that would change her identity, she chose a three-foot long sword instead.

Compared to daggers and fans, longswords are certainly not considered short weapons, but they are still close-combat weapons. They are easier to learn and use, and people who use such weapons are also very common. They are also helpful in concealing one's identity.

Yu Kong cleverly left some gaps in the identity he assigned to Ting Yun, allowing him to make some moves and learn some swordsmanship without any problem.

Bai Yan selected a three-foot-long sword from his collection that matched the current temperament of the white-haired Tingyun and lent it to Tingyun.

Afterward, the two stopped observing the future Lord of the Rift's training and found a more open space to begin "applying makeup".

Bai Yan first changed her stance when using a fan as a weapon, because the difference in technique between a fan less than a foot long and a three-foot-long sword is still quite significant.

Based on Tingyun's usual habit of using a fan, Baiyan first helped her review the basics.

For example, techniques such as flicking, chopping, stabbing, picking, and sweeping, and instructing her on how to defend and counterattack based on the opponent's offensive.

Regarding swordsmanship, Bai Yan chose some swordsmanship styles similar to those of the Immortal Boat, so that it wouldn't seem abrupt when used by the fox-person of the Immortal Boat.

"Try to make every move flow naturally, and distribute the force evenly throughout the body, especially in the use of wrist strength, which should be powerful yet agile."

In addition, there are some basic and effective sword moves, such as straight thrust, side slash, and reverse slash.

Each movement has been stripped down to its simplest form, removing all unnecessary embellishments, allowing Tingyunti to quickly imitate and memorize them.

Bai Yan constantly adjusted Ting Yun's posture and movements, paying attention to every tiny detail.

Tingyun also studied each move carefully, and at this moment, the deity resembled a strict teacher.

"The knife moves with weight and solidity, while the sword moves with lightness and agility. Use your body to feel the direction of the sword movements, and learn to utilize weight transfer and flexible footwork."

Even at night, Tingyun's rest time was strictly limited.

During a brief break, Bai Yan instructed Ting Yun: "Quickly adjust your breathing, concentrate, and then we'll continue."

This strict, godlike teacher's training pace was nothing short of ruthless.

Two days ago, the future Lord of the Rift had already experienced this almost deadly training rhythm. As a result, although it was very efficient, he was sore all over the day after training.

When Tingyun's forehead was covered in beads of sweat, her slender fingers, which were tightly gripping the sword hilt, loosened slightly.

Bai Yan spoke again: "Someone is still using your things, spending your money, sleeping in your bed, and before Yu Kong found out today, Yu Kong still thought of her as you..."

Tingyun's white fox ears, which were about to droop, suddenly stood up. He took a deep breath and gripped the three-foot-long sword in his hand tightly once more.

Training continues.

Bai Yan only added some combat talent to her; her physical abilities were still inferior to Xing's high-intensity carrier.

In the middle of the night, Bai Yan escorted Ting Yun back to her room and then went back to his own room to get some plum blossom cakes that Ruan Mei had made for him.

After settling Tingyun, he returned to the rift in the upper zone.

The gray-haired girl lay sprawled on the ground, gazing at the night sky over Beloborg, while the surrounding rift creatures ceased their attack.

Bai Yan strode over: "What? Is this not working? You weren't like this a couple of days ago."

Xing remained lying on the ground, looking up at the sky: "Wait."

The next second, a black hole spread out beneath Xing's body, and then her entire body fell into it.

At the same time, a black hole appeared in front of Bai Yan, and Xing's body emerged from it, but with his back to the sky, as if he had fallen into the black hole from the other side.

Bai Yan looked down at Xing, who was lying at his feet: "It seems you have mastered the ability to open portals in known rifts. It's only been six days. You have quite the talent."

This means that once Star is proficient, he can return directly to Beloborg from other rifts, and even open a portal to bring March 7th and the others along.

Xing didn't think too much about it for the time being. She simply flipped herself over and was lying on her back again. She glanced at Bai Yan diagonally above her and joked, "It's not a skirt, what a pity."

Sensing the child's gaze, Bai Yan's smile remained unchanged, but he pulled out the baseball bat he used for Xing's special training: "What's the pity?"

Xing stopped being presumptuous and used a somersault to roll away from Bai Yan's feet: "It's nothing."

"Do you still want to lure March 7th here so you can play a prank on her?"

Xing had already rolled back among the Rift creatures, looking up at the night sky: "Why did I even bother to trick March 7 into coming here? It wasn't necessary to go through all that trouble."

Bai Yan didn't pick up on the topic that might offend March 7th, but instead changed it to something related to stars: "The rifts here are all unclaimed lands, so you can easily control them. If there were other star cores, you might need to fight them for air superiority."

Xing was unaware that what Bai Yan was saying were things she was about to face on the Immortal Ship.

However, she was still listening attentively: "Air superiority?"

"It usually refers to the control of a certain space by one side during a certain period of time during a war. Simply put, it's about seizing territory. You need to have control over the rift created by another star core in order to have better control over it. At the same time, when fighting for air supremacy, you can also suppress its influence on space."

After intense training and the sudden enlightenment on interdimensional teleportation over the past two days, Xing was exhausted and her mind was a bit confused: "This is troublesome. I'll deal with it when I encounter it."

Bai Yan smiled and said, "There will be plenty of opportunities in the future, and you will understand when the time comes."

Whether it's more than ten years later or just two or three days later, it's still a question.

Chapter 93 You really are something...

The seventh day was the last day that the Star Train was parked near Arillow VI.
