You call this the way of the sword?

What is the Way?

Everyone's curiosity was immediately piqued.

Zhang Song looked at his information and then looked at Chang Maofu with some confusion.

"Sir, what is the meaning of the Way?"

As the head of Wendao Caotang, Chang Maofu was naturally knowledgeable and experienced. However, he hesitated several times before finally managing to utter eight words.

"You must figure out your own path."

"oh…"

Zhang Song scratched his head as he walked off the stage, and was immediately surrounded by his classmates. Even the girls who didn't usually like him took the initiative to approach him for the first time.

Huang Sanqiu couldn't help but chuckle and said, "The first one is the mainstream Dao body, and the second one is the rare Dao. Fellow Daoist Chang, the fortune of this place is extremely prosperous."

Chang Maofu shook his head and said, "Master, don't laugh. After all, it's a rare Dao body. If you find the right method, you might be able to achieve something in your cultivation."

Huang Sanqiu thought of something and sighed softly, nodding: "That's true. In recent years, the Dao bodies that have emerged have become more and more mediocre. Counting the entire Tiannan region, there were only three top-grade and six rare ones last year... I wonder if I will be fortunate enough to see a top-grade Dao body here with Fellow Daoist Chang this year."

Chang Maofu looked at the students below the stage, his eyes filled with expectation: "I hope so."

"Next up, Li Mingyang."

Li Mingyang quickly ran into the formation.

The nine colors faded, leaving only a white glow.

[Li Tie, Business Acumen, Level 1]

Although it was a secondary path, Li Tie was very satisfied with his chosen path: "I'm rich! My father is a businessman, it seems my Li family is destined to pursue a career through commerce!"

"Cao Min".

"Hong Gang".

"..."

The ritual was simple, but the pace gradually quickened.

One hundred students took turns entering the formation to ask questions, most of them being auxiliary streamers.

There are a few mainstream Dao bodies occasionally, but they are all ordinary.

As the ceremony progressed to its halfway point, Huang Sanqiu stepped aside to brew tea, while Chang Maofu remained patiently by his student's side.

"Qiao Lie".

Qiao Lie stepped forward in response, immediately attracting the attention of his classmates.

There is a small martial arts ranking list at Wendao Caotang, and he is on the list, ranking second.

It's easy to imagine that teenagers are mostly obsessive; they either don't compete for rankings, or they compete for first place.

For three consecutive years, Qiao Lie had been second in command, always harboring a refusal to admit defeat.

Today's question is his last chance to overtake others.

"Come, understand my Dao heart, and prove my Great Dao."

With a strong conviction, Qiao Lie walked into the formation with a resolute look in his eyes and placed his hand on the Inquiry Stone.

"Hey Aomine, do you think he could be a martial arts physique?"

Lin Tong spent a long time studying the principles of husbandhood with Zhang Song, and when he saw Qiao Lie begin to ask questions, he immediately returned to Yang Qingfeng's side, his face full of excitement.

Yang Qingfeng also looked at Qiao Lie and shook his head: "It's hard to say."

Lin Tong chuckled slyly and said, "Believe it or not, regardless of whether he practices martial arts or not, as long as he follows the mainstream Daoist path, he'll immediately come to challenge you."

Yang Qingfeng asked doubtfully, "It can't be that bad, can it? We don't have any grudge against each other."

"We have no grudge."

Lin Tong laughed even harder: "But you ran off with his twin sister, and then you rode on his head, making him second-in-command for three years! Hahaha, if it were me, I wouldn't just challenge you, I'd make you sign a life-or-death agreement!"

Yang Qingfeng was speechless.

During his three years of study, he mostly kept to himself. Even though they were classmates, he didn't have much interaction with Qiao Lie, let alone any "Sister Qiao".

The formation roared.

The nine-colored Daoist Stone quickly changed color.

A dazzling golden light shot into the cloud vortex, and with a whoosh, it spread out a sea of ​​crimson fire.

The sea of ​​fire was not large in scale, but it made the sky tremble. In particular, two great suns appeared faintly in the sea of ​​fire, exuding an ancient and violent aura.

Huang Sanqiu suddenly stood up. "It's an unusual phenomenon!"

Chang Maofu was equally excited, secretly clenching his fist. "Good!"

The golden flash is rare and of lower grade than the top grade, but the accompanying phenomena show that Qiao Lie's path is extraordinary!

[Qiao Lie, Crimson Fire Path, Level 1]

The strange phenomenon gradually disappeared, and the hundred students stared in astonishment for a long while before a commotion broke out.

"It's the fire path!"

"It's not just the Way of Fire; it's said that the Crimson Fire Way can incinerate all things, it's an ancient way!"

"Qiao Lie is amazing! He not only has a rare Dao Body, but he also has a mainstream one."

Qiao Lie opened his eyes with equal excitement.

Huang Sanqiu specifically instructed, "You're very good. When you enter the Talent Secret Realm later, remember to use your spiritual sense to find the thing closest to you."

Chang Maofu didn't speak, but you could tell from his smile that he was also happy for Qiao Lie.

Qiao Lie bowed respectfully to them: "Thank you for your guidance, Master. I am grateful for your teachings."

As Qiao Lie walked back, he was greeted by congratulations from his classmates, who all chattered about the innate skills of the Crimson Fire Path.

There are three types of skills among the cultivators in this world.

Innate skills, natural skills, and skills acquired through learning.

After completing the Dao quest, each person will receive a corresponding innate skill based on their Dao body. The number of innate skills varies depending on the Dao, and it seems that there is only one for the Crimson Fire Dao.

Skill: Crimson Flame.

Qiao Lie didn't hesitate to show off his skills, unleashing them in the open space, instantly filling the air with fury.

The crimson flames in his hands constantly changed, sometimes forming a fist, sometimes a knife, and sometimes a sea of ​​fire, or even a protective fire armor. No matter what form it took, its power was not to be underestimated; the visual impact alone was enough to instill fear in people.

This made the other students even more envious.

It is a rare Dao Body, and even more so a rare mainstream Dao Body.

Such a configuration is rare not only in Tiannan, but also throughout the entire Yuxia Empire.

In particular, Qiao Lie's path is the path of fire.

Fire belongs to the Five Elements. It is not only powerful, but also has a large number of readily available acquired skills to learn. As a result, Five Elements cultivators are not only the mainstream, but are often the main attackers in the team.

Qiao Lie's quest this time was undoubtedly blessed by heaven, and went perfectly!

"Yang Qingfeng".

Finally, it was my turn.

Yang Qingfeng composed himself and walked toward the Inquiry Formation.

Qiao Lie's presence drew a lot of attention, but he himself kept his eyes fixed on Yang Qingfeng, his gaze full of challenge.

Chang Maofu grew increasingly expectant and asked softly, "Fellow Daoist Huang, what do you think of this boy?"

Huang Sanqiu then looked at Yang Qingfeng: "His innate physique is rather ordinary, but his acquired talent has been honed quite well. This child must be very diligent, right?"

Chang Maofu nodded with a smile, "In terms of talent, Qiao Lie is slightly inferior to him."

Huang Sanqiu chuckled and said, "Talent before seeking the Dao is mostly illusory. No matter how good one's talent is, it depends on what Dao one borrows from Heaven."

Ask the Way, ask Heaven for guidance.

The mystery is unpredictable; all that is known is that if one does not advance when seeking the truth, one will regress.

Over the years, countless talented young people have activated their auxiliary Dao bodies, only to fall into a slump from which they never recovered. The cruelty of this process is no less than the difference between immortals and mortals.

Chang Maofu naturally understood this principle, but he still had high expectations for Yang Qingfeng.

Yang Qingfeng was unaware of the high expectations placed upon him. He had already cleared his mind of all distractions and was determined to succeed or persevere. Having taken this step today, he would never stop there.

Auxiliary flow is also fine.

Mainstream or not.

Immortality is merely a byproduct.

All he wanted to do was take this step and fulfill his grandfather's last wish!

Yang Qingfeng stepped into the formation and reached out to touch the Inquiry Stone.

hum!

Within the vast expanse, the array roared.

The Asking Stone trembled violently.

Suddenly, the nine-colored glow shone brightly, instantly capturing everyone's attention.

"It's Yang Qingfeng!"

"Yang Qingfeng has begun asking the questions!"

"Qiao Lie is a Fire Path cultivator, I wonder what path he will be a cultivator of."

"Strange, why did he take so long?"

As Yang Qingfeng began to ask questions, the nine-colored light in the formation continued to flash. Just as everyone realized something was wrong, the light suddenly disappeared completely, leaving not even a trace of white light.

"Huh, it stopped?"

"Is the formation broken?"

"Legend has it that there are celestial beings abandoned by heaven, born without a Daoist body!"

"No way, could Yang Qingfeng have also fallen?"

Chang Maofu frowned and looked at Huang Sanqiu: "What's going on?"

As a formation master, Huang Sanqiu was also somewhat surprised, but he quickly noticed something: "No problem, the formation is still working."

As soon as he finished speaking, the light in the sky suddenly dimmed, and the cloud vortex above the formation dispersed into dark clouds. Its scale was so large that it covered the sky in a very short moment, like a dark sky.

"This, this is..."

Huang Sanqiu was completely taken aback: "This is a true celestial phenomenon!"

Chang Maofu became excited again.

When unusual phenomena occur during the pursuit of knowledge, it often foretells that the path is extraordinary, either the best or the rarest.

Moreover, the strange phenomena caused by Yang Qingfeng were unusual, and their scale was unprecedented!

If he adopts the mainstream Daoist path, Yang Qingfeng's future achievements may be beyond imagination!

"This guy..."

Qiao Lie gazed at the sky, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

At this moment, Longshan was shrouded in dark clouds. Although his fire armor was bright, it seemed to be swaying in a dim sea, and it might go out at any time.

Clearly, Yang Qingfeng's extraordinary phenomenon was much greater than his, and he seemed to have the upper hand.

At this moment, Qiao Lie was very dissatisfied, and his fighting spirit continued to soar.
