You call this the way of the sword?

It's that inexplicable hostility again...

Yang Qingfeng ignored him and continued walking forward: "I haven't decided yet, but I will try my best to get the best results, and then I will go wherever I can."

"Oh no, that's it..."

Qiao Wanyi was somewhat disheartened.

Yang Qingfeng asked with a slight chuckle, "What's wrong?"

Qiao Wanyi said matter-of-factly, "Brother Qingfeng's martial arts are so amazing, and now that he's activated the mainstream sword path, his best result will definitely be all six A's. At that time, the National Academy will definitely recruit you. But I can't do that..."

Before she could finish speaking, Qiao Lie suddenly shouted angrily, "Bullshit! What do you mean you're no good?"

Qiao Wanyi blushed instantly and hurriedly said, "Shut up! You're the one who's talking nonsense! Your mouth is full of filth!"

Qiao Lie stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief.

He clutched his chest and took a breath, then stepped forward to block Yang Qingfeng's path. "You brat, Wanyi is talking to you. Where do you think you're going?"

Yang Qingfeng looked at him strangely, "If you have something to say, just say it quickly, I need to go pay respects to my grandfather."

It's no secret that Yang Qingfeng's grandfather died a violent death. Everyone knows that Yang Qingfeng wasn't like this when he was a child.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Wanyi immediately grabbed Qiao Lie and secretly pinched him several times.

Qiao Lie also restrained his temper and said in a deep voice, "Perfect, I want to compete with you again. Let's use this major exam as the arena. If you beat me, I'll help you investigate your grandfather's matter."

Yang Qingfeng looked at him silently, shook his head, and walked forward. "No need."

Qiao Lie acted as if he hadn't heard, and simply said loudly, "If I win, you should stay away from Wanyi..."

Qiao Wanyi suddenly kicked him to the ground, looking down at him with empty eyes: "Qiao Lie, you really have to thank Brother Qingfeng for surviving until today."

After saying that, she turned and left, not to go find Yang Qingfeng, as she was too ashamed to go there.

Qiao Lie sat on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief, still shaken.

This is my younger sister.

She acts cute and charming with others, but ruthlessly murders her own brother.

Qiao Lie thought to himself, if we switched places and he came out later and became her younger brother… “I’d probably die a much worse death, right?”

……

Taking a detour home wouldn't actually take much time, but Yang Qingfeng didn't stay home for long.

After quickly preparing some food for himself and washing up and changing into newer clothes, he went to the alley entrance and bought two jars of yellow wine.

The wine seller was an old woman surnamed Yu, who always had a smiling face and a kind expression.

Upon learning that Yang Qingfeng possessed a mainstream Daoist physique, she gifted him an extra wine gourd filled with sweet grape wine.

Not far from the western suburbs of Youlong Town.

There is a roadside inn that has been abandoned for many years.

There is an old tree in front of the inn, which is said to be over 10,000 years old. My grandfather used to like to stay under this tree.

In spring, we drink and practice martial arts; in summer, we relax and nap; in autumn, we act foolishly; and in winter, we are confused.

Whenever he felt dazed, Grandpa would look north and mutter some incomprehensible words.

Yang Qingfeng used to think that his grandfather might have some kind of old age disease, but ever since his grandfather died suddenly, he began to think that his grandfather was calculating something, but unfortunately he still couldn't figure it out in the end.

As for the north, that should be the direction of the capital.

There were also those incomprehensible murmurs, perhaps a local dialect, or maybe the incantation of some skill or technique. In any case, he memorized some of the pronunciations so that he could always find their origins when he traveled the world.

Once the source is found, the enemy is probably not far away.

Under the old tree.

Yang Qingfeng thought for a moment, then opened only one of the two jars of wine. He smiled slyly and said, "I'll just give you one jar to satisfy your craving. I'll keep the other one. If you want to drink more, come back to see me more often, haha."

Yang Qingfeng thought he was incredibly clever, then laughed at himself for being so naive.

However, considering that I am only sixteen years old, being a little childish is not a big deal. At least my grandfather should not blame me. At most, he will beat me up ten or eight times in his dreams.

"Grandpa, I've activated my Dao Body, it's the Dao of the Sword."

"I took that step too, and it was a perfect one."

"You probably wouldn't believe it, but I encountered the Ancestor of All Flowers in the secret realm. She's incredibly beautiful, but she can also be terrifying when she gets fierce. There was also someone impersonating her; I don't know if they're dead or escaped..."

"Grandpa, I have a great talent. I have a feeling that with this talent, I can quickly find those who harmed you and help you do what you want to do."

"Grandpa, what exactly is that bronze piece...?"

Yang Qingfeng leaned against a tree, gazing at the distant north, recalling the way his grandfather died.

Grandpa rushed home in a panic, smashing and burning many things, but leaving behind a bronze piece. After handing it to him, it suddenly froze, as if locked by an invisible force, and then exploded into a bloody mist.

Even today, Yang Qingfeng still remembers it vividly.

That was defeat by the heavens and earth, death by an invisible force, a death that left people bewildered yet awestruck, leaving them in a daze to forget their grief, or even have time to feel fear.

Yang Qingfeng was too scared to be afraid back then, and now he just finds it funny.

That idiot Qiao Lie even said that if he beat him, Qiao Lie would help him investigate his grandfather's affairs.

If you can't even beat yourself, asking him for help is just sending him to his death, isn't it?

"Don't come, I don't need anyone..."

Yang Qingfeng calmed himself down, closed his eyes, and pondered his plan.

This plan will be a long one.

It will be very difficult.

But no matter how difficult it is, we have already taken the first step. The first major test is coming soon, and the most important first goal of the plan is gradually becoming clear.

It's like triggering a trial in a talent-filled secret realm to gain the qualification to kill the Origin Dao Flower.

If you want to take care of those unknown guys for your grandfather, the first thing you need to do is gain the right to kill them. How to gain this right is currently unknown.

But everything in the world has the same leverage: the power to shake everything.

Yang Qingfeng believes that as long as he perseveres and keeps moving forward step by step, one day he will be able to have a good fight.

It's night, and the bright moon is hanging high.

Yang Qingfeng couldn't stay still, so he practiced a set of boxing techniques and a set of swordplay.

They're going to run a dungeon tomorrow morning, which means they're about to begin their real training.

Having experienced the Secret Realm of Talents, Yang Qingfeng felt that the little monsters in the dungeon, no matter how fierce they were, could not be as fierce as Yongling, at least they were no longer unkillable.

However, in spiritual practice, one should guard against arrogance and impatience, and never underestimate one's opponent.

As he opened the attribute panel, preparing to further familiarize himself with the skills, a sudden change drew his mental energy away.

【Sword Domain: 4/10】

The Sword Domain is like a summoning space, where the Sword Soul usually resides.

In the Secret Realm of Talents, Yang Qingfeng had already summoned a full complement of members, but now only 4 remained.

Where did the other six go?

Yang Qingfeng was immediately puzzled and quickly checked his skills. The subsequent changes made him experience the wonder of the Talent Realm once again.

The disappearance of the sword spirit is not as simple as being reduced to its original form.

His skills... have actually leveled up!
