You call this the way of the sword?

Did he break the record?

Li Qingxuan immediately thought of Yang Qingfeng, but she wasn't quite sure.

Because the time difference is too subtle.

From the moment Yang Qingfeng entered the game until the record was broken, less than 10 minutes had passed.

In this respect, it doesn't seem like something Yang Qingfeng would do. But if you look at it from another angle, the dungeon plaza has been quiet for at least half a year.

Yang Qingfeng's early arrival as a newcomer broke this silence, which seemed rather coincidental.

"If it really is him, then this year's Hirakawa Grand Tournament... is going to be quite a show."

Li Qingxuan opened the information board of Zhuying Mountain, her heart filled with anticipation.

At this moment, many cultivators turned their attention to Li Qingxuan.

Li Qingxuan's Dao body is special, and she is quite famous in the State Religion. Her arrival had already caused a stir before. Now, she is not entering the main area and is staying in the low-level area, which is obviously suspicious.

It lasted for about 10 seconds, then the chiming stopped and the light dissipated.

Just as the vortex in Bamboo Shadow Mountain began to churn, several figures emerged.

The nearby cultivators immediately brightened their eyes, wanting to recognize who their "big brother" was, so that they could come and get a boost next time their "big brother" broke a record.

Someone directly asked loudly, "Did you break the record?"

Upon seeing so many senior brothers and sisters, the young masters from Kyoto who had just graduated were all dumbfounded.

Deng Penghui, who was in the lead, glanced around and stared wide-eyed at Li Qingxuan beside him, his words becoming slurred: "What... record? We... we played on the hard difficulty."

Then that's not it.

Everyone was greatly disappointed and was about to search elsewhere when another figure emerged from the vortex.

This time, no one asked any more questions, and the entire space fell silent.

The vast majority of cultivators widened their eyes at the same time, revealing expressions of surprise and doubt, then looked at each other and asked questions.

"Why are you alone?"

"Solo play?"

"Isn't this the newcomer brought by Li Qingxuan?"

"A new solo player? That's arrogant?"

"You guys think... he didn't break the record, did he? He seemed so relaxed about it..."

"Hehehe, are you kidding? He probably realized he couldn't win and backed out."

Suddenly, a chorus of voices surged forth.

Yang Qingfeng stepped out of the vortex and glanced around, then turned around and went about his own business.

He opened the information board and first checked the instance cooldown.

The cooldown time for Bamboo Shadow Mountain is 4 hours, and you can use contribution points to eliminate the cooldown.

Eliminating an enemy grants 40 points, while clearing a level only grants 50 points, meaning you can only earn 10 points per run of Bamboo Shadow Mountain.

Without considering bonuses, you would need to play 396 times to earn 4000 points.

Yang Qingfeng's lips twitched. He suddenly felt like he was being forced to cultivate desperately and work like a slave for himself. Fortunately, breaking the record would bring extra rewards.

With a full 500 contribution points and a 10x reward for each instance, plus the cash-out of reserve points, he now has 1100 points.

"It doesn't seem too difficult. Breaking a few more records will be enough to pay the rent."

As Yang Qingfeng was thinking to himself, he turned his head and saw Li Qingxuan and Deng Penghui standing to the side.

Li Qingxuan was alright; she just looked at Yang Qingfeng with a complicated expression.

Deng Penghui and the other young masters from Beijing were like mice before a cat, too afraid to move. Only when Yang Qingfeng walked towards them did someone yell, "Don't come any closer!"

The shout startled everyone around, including Li Qingxuan.

Only Deng Penghui managed a smile that looked more like a grimace: "Senior Brother Yang... Senior Brother Yang."

"Just call me by my name."

Yang Qingfeng had no grudge against them, so he nodded and ignored them, then bowed to Li Qingxuan and asked, "Senior Sister, were you waiting for me?"

Li Qingxuan glanced at the people around her and nodded, saying, "It's not convenient now, we'll talk about it later."

"That would be impolite."

Yang Qingfeng maintained his own pace, walked to the 10-player dungeon Gale Valley, glanced at the information board, and walked directly into the vortex.

At this moment, the world became quiet, and almost everyone was forcibly restrained.

He actually got into a small 10-person raid?!

Soloing?!

Suddenly, a whoosh was heard, and exclamations arose. The quick-reacting cultivators rushed forward, opened the information board of Bamboo Shadow Mountain, and then took a deep breath of cold air.

Bamboo Shadow Mountain

[Hell-level completion record]

[First Place: 8 minutes and 37 seconds, Captain Yang Qingfeng]

[Second place: 3 hours 37 minutes 28 seconds, team captain Gong Ping, teammates...]

Third place: 4 hours...

The other cultivators stepped forward to check, and were all startled by Yang Qingfeng's records.

"Less than 10 minutes!?"

"There must be a mistake, he's playing at the Normal difficulty level?!"

"Even a regular player couldn't finish in 8 minutes... How did he do it?"

"He seems to practice kendo?"

"What kendo? Have you ever seen kendo last 8 minutes? Look closely, this is 8 minutes!!"

Yang Qingfeng had no idea that after he entered the instance, the senior students in the square went wild.

Almost everyone mobilized their connections to dig up information about this year's big exam, and at the same time, they spread Yang Qingfeng's name.

Li Qingxuan, on the other hand, attacked head-on, grabbing Deng Penghui by the back of the neck.

"Tell me about your relationship with Junior Brother Yang."

"Senior Sister Li...we know, we know we were wrong..."

Deng Penghui thought Li Qingxuan was going to stand up for Yang Qingfeng, and for a moment his voice trembled.

Yang Qingfeng was unaware, but they knew very well.

Li Qingxuan's Dao body is not suitable for hunting, but it is very suitable for killing. Therefore, although her combat power is not the highest in her generation, she is the most ferocious.

Especially during last year's Pingchuan Grand Competition, Li Qingxuan was chased all over the battlefield by wild monsters, and demons and alien races were killed by her. From then on, the human race had a new figure, known as the Spirit Slayer.

Spirits and monsters without intelligence are Li Qingxuan's nemesis.

Any living being with even a modicum of intelligence would regard Li Qingxuan as a nightmare.

"Do you know you were wrong?"

Li Qingxuan's eyes lit up, realizing she hadn't made a mistake, and immediately forced Deng Penghui to tell the truth.

Deng Penghui dared not hide anything and explained the details of the third assessment. During the entire process, they kept their heads down and no one dared to look Li Qingxuan in the eye.

Li Qingxuan's eyes are actually very beautiful, like they contain the brilliance of a galaxy, and are incredibly captivating.

But the more beautiful something is, the more deadly it often is.

Deng Penghui and the others did not know what kind of Dao Body Li Qingxuan possessed; they had only heard some rumors about her.

It is said that some fools once flirted with Li Qingxuan in public with that kind of look, and afterwards they gouged out their own eyes.

One occurrence might be a coincidence, but three or five happening at the same time is quite alarming.

After hearing about Yang Qingfeng's performance in the major exam, Li Qingxuan pondered for a moment and then waved her hand.

Deng Penghui and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately turned around to refresh their cooldowns and escape into the dungeon.

"Instantly annihilating the entire city of demons... such a thing actually happened."

Li Qingxuan looked at the Gale Valley instance, her red lips under the veil slightly curving upwards, then she gracefully turned and left.

In the special branch where Li Qingxuan is located, there is a stele left by predecessors inscribed with the words "Seeking the Way".

The inscription on the monument reads: "All the irrationality in the world can be attributed to the cultivation of the Tao."

Yang Qingfeng was only level 17, yet he could instantly kill tens of thousands of demons. This could not be explained by the strength of his Dao Body. The only answer was that his skill damage came from his Dao cultivation.

His spiritual attainments are extremely high.
