You call this the way of the sword?

Everyone present was immediately drawn to the formation, and they all showed expressions of surprise and doubt.

Although this primordial aura was very weak, like a fleeting moment, the energy it released in an instant was incredible, as if it directly affected the soul.

Even though no one recognized the Primal Aura, everyone could clearly feel that something had touched them.

"It seems like something extraordinary is coming..."

"It's done! Yang Qingfeng is done too!"

"Heaven is so unfair! How come all the good things fall on this guy's head?"

"Quickly, someone go check on the Yang family ancestral graves. They're not just emitting green smoke; they're probably cracked open!"

As the primordial aura dissipated, the youths quickly put it out of their minds, but Chang Maofu stared intently at the formation, the shock in his eyes lingering.

He didn't recognize the primordial aura either, but he sensed it more deeply, and he kept counting it.

Qiao Wanyi passed the trial at the last minute and returned at noon, meaning the three-day period was over. Logically, the formation should have stopped operating upon Qiao Wanyi's return, and the entire Talent Secret Realm should have closed.

However, Yang Qingfeng stayed inside for at least 25 minutes longer, and the unusual activity at this moment was enough to show that he had another extraordinary encounter on this trip!

As expected, when Yang Qingfeng appeared, the teleportation array suddenly stopped, all the spirit stones turned into mist and dissipated, and the world returned to complete tranquility.

"Here it comes! Here it comes! Here it comes!"

"Yang Qingfeng, why are you still asleep?"

"Wake up, time to feed..."

As the noise around him faded, Yang Qingfeng gradually regained consciousness.

Opening his eyes in a daze, he was met with a hundred classmates staring intently at him.

Yang Qingfeng's fingers twitched slightly, almost summoning his sword spirit to attack, but fortunately he saw Chang Maofu beside him and realized that he had returned.

He was immediately puzzled. He had only been in the secret realm for a few hours, so how come everyone had already returned?

Even if the secret realm is difficult, surely it shouldn't lead to total annihilation?

Without giving it much thought, Yang Qingfeng immediately went to Chang Maofu and bowed respectfully: "Sir, I'm back."

Suppressing his excitement, Chang Maofu smiled and said, "It's good that you're back. Did you gain anything?"

Yang Qingfeng nodded and said, "There should be. Please wait a moment, sir, while I take a look."

As he spoke, he began to check his own attributes.

Just like Qiao Wanyi had just done, the surroundings immediately fell silent.

Qiao Lie clenched his fists, a complex emotion in his eyes. The other boys were also not at peace, because Yang Qingfeng was not their little sister Qiao, and they were not close to her.

Seeing others build tall buildings, seeing others surpass me, I can't help but feel envious and jealous. All sorts of emotions converge at this moment, turning into various strange looks.

Yang Qingfeng was used to being alone and was already immune to these stares, but after seeing his own attributes, a ripple still stirred in his heart.

Name: Yang Qingfeng

[Cultivation: Swordsmanship]

[Cultivation Level: 100 days]

[Level: 1 (0%)]

[Constitution: 30 (Strength)]

[Mana: 30 (Spirit)]

[Agility: 10]

Endurance: 10 (Stamina)

[Equipment: None]

【Sword Domain: 4/10】

[Talent: Eternal Spirit Dao Heart (Level 1)]

[Eternal Spirit Dao Heart: Increases Enlightenment Value by 10 times, and increases Dao Cultivation Gained in Battle by 10 times]

After spending only a few hours in the secret realm, my cultivation level increased by 100 days!

This alone was something Yang Qingfeng hadn't anticipated. When he saw his own talent further down the list, his pupils constricted, and he was shaken.

Leaving aside what enlightenment value is, the cultivation gained in battle is increased tenfold, which is equivalent to 10 years of cultivation for oneself being equal to 100 years for others. This is more than just twice the result with half the effort.

Moreover, the combat power of the spirit sword is affected by its own cultivation level. At first glance, this talent is a perfect match for its skills!

The higher one's cultivation level, the stronger the spirit sword becomes; and the faster the spirit sword kills monsters, the more cultivation level one gains.

If one accumulates and grows in this way repeatedly until a certain level is reached, perhaps one year of self-cultivation can be equivalent to a hundred or a thousand years of others' experience, or even more?

Such talent is nothing short of divine skill; it's simply unheard of!

"..."

Yang Qingfeng silently closed the attribute panel and glanced at his classmates.

His intuition told him that his talent was likely to offend many people, so it was best not to reveal it.

"How is it?"

Qiao Lie asked urgently, "What kind of talent is it?"

Yang Qingfeng looked at Chang Maofu and hesitated before saying, "I have lived up to your expectations, sir. I have indeed awakened a talent, but unfortunately it is a passive skill and has nothing to do with swordsmanship."

Even with great talent, if it doesn't align with one's own Dao body, the benefits gained will be greatly diminished.

With Qiao Wanyi's perfect match as a precedent, Yang Qingfeng's words seemed to pale in comparison.

However, the boys were blinded by their own desires and only heard what they wanted to hear, failing to grasp what Yang Qingfeng truly wanted to express. Only Chang Maofu keenly noticed that Yang Qingfeng was behaving strangely.

Then I caught the key first sentence, and lived up to the gentleman's expectations.

Since we have lived up to expectations, what is there to regret?

"Hehehe, it's alright, it's alright. Although it's not my specialty, I can still make progress by drawing parallels from other areas."

Chang Maofu was certain that Yang Qingfeng had received a tremendous benefit, so he decided to play along. At the same time, he smiled and glanced at the students, saying, "There are countless ways in the world, and all of them can be integrated. Regardless of whether one is a mainstream or a secondary stream, or whether one has awakened their talent, one should never underestimate oneself."

"You have finally taken this step by asking the question today, but the great test in seven days will be the first hurdle you will face."

"Alright, that's enough for today. Go home and prepare. Meet at the thatched cottage early tomorrow morning. Those who need to do dungeons, do dungeons; those who need to study Fudo, study Fudo. Go on."

Suddenly pulled out to speak, Zhang Song, the husband, called out resentfully, "Sir..."

His words immediately brought laughter to the room, and everyone felt happy. They bowed to the teacher and then left together.

Watching Yang Qingfeng walk alone behind him, Chang Maofu finally couldn't contain his excitement. He casually took out his century-old pipe and, as if rewarding himself, happily lit it.

As he exhaled the clouds of smoke, he still felt it wasn't enough, and couldn't help but laugh and whisper, "The future is promising, let's have a drink."

Yang Qingfeng didn't say anything, but Chang Maofu had already guessed it pretty accurately.

The Secret Realm of Talent has a long history, so ancient that it is impossible to trace its origins. Among its features is a protective formation, which is said to have been set up by countless powerful beings in ancient times and has remained intact for many years.

Because of the protective formation, the Talent Secret Realm has always been stable. The only thing that can affect the formation is the Heavenly Road Trial, which is sought after by the mortals but cannot be obtained.

How could I not be happy that my student had actually seen the Heavenly Road?

How could I not get excited?

……

Wendao Cottage is located on the mountainside of Youlong Mountain. If you walk down the mountain from the path in front of the cottage, you can see the ancient town of Youlong.

It is said that thousands of years ago, a master-level expert once appeared in the town. At that time, the master had not yet come to the town to teach, and the grandfather was about the same age as him, just awakening the Dao.

Perhaps it's because the cycle has become a habit, but the town is always bustling at this time of year.

From afar, the elders of all the classmates had been waiting for a long time. They had set up a large pot and a banquet under the archway, built a shed and started playing mahjong. There was also the audacious Mr. Shen, who openly opened a betting pool to wager on whose child would be the mainstream and whose would be the secondary…

Yang Qingfeng used to enjoy this kind of excitement and would even steal his grandfather's money to place bets. Now, however, he quietly deviates from the path and wanders into the woods on the side.

"Brother Qingfeng!"

Suddenly, a fragrant breeze blew from behind, interrupting Yang Qingfeng's thoughts.

Turning my head, I saw Qiao Wanyi and her brother Qiao Lie.

"I heard you've also awakened your talent."

Yang Qingfeng smiled and said, "Congratulations."

Qiao Wanyi ran all the way here, her pretty face slightly flushed, her two bright and lively eyes fixed on Yang Qingfeng and wouldn't look away.

She had originally intended to congratulate Yang Qingfeng on his successful awakening and had even prepared a gift, but Yang Qingfeng's talent did not seem to be compatible with the Dao Body, which made her give up the idea.

She then asked, "Brother Qingfeng, which academy are you planning to attend?"

Damn, is that even a question?!

Are you going to follow him to another university?

Qiao Lie rolled his eyes, and when he looked at Yang Qingfeng, his gaze became even more fierce.

It's as if it's saying: You dare touch my sister? Just you wait!
