You call this the way of the sword?

Yang Qingfeng suddenly disappeared, causing another commotion in the instance plaza.

This commotion was rather strange, and it was caused by a group of senior female students.

"Why did it take so long this time?"

"Oh right, where is Junior Brother Yang?"

"Could something have happened?"

"Pah! Pah! Pah! Don't talk nonsense!"

"Hmm... He's been playing non-stop for two days. Maybe, perhaps... is it possible that Junior Brother Yang is resting in the dungeon?"

"Sleeping in the dungeon?"

"Wow, Junior Brother Yang is so cute!!"

The passing senior students all rolled their eyes. What's so cute about it?

Is sleeping in a dungeon cute?

Neuropathy…

In fact, from the very first day, once it was discovered that Yang Qingfeng had no intention of setting a new record, most of the people who came for the joint battle had already dispersed.

In the following two days, Yang Qingfeng's mechanical, relentless slapping completely shattered everyone's illusions, eliminating another 90% of the people, and at the same time intensifying his image in the minds of some.

Especially some of the senior female students who have less potential but more creative ideas.

For some reason, even though they were complete strangers to Yang Qingfeng and had never spoken a word to him, they had already come to regard him as a source of hope.

They came together because of Yang Qingfeng, and without prior agreement, they felt like they had known each other for a long time. They then quickly formed a new group called "Yang's Supergroup".

To outsiders, they all seemed to be infatuated with a guy, or even promiscuous and lustful.

However, most onlookers overlooked one fact.

This is Yu Xia Academy, the most prestigious cultivation ground for the entire human race.

Everyone who can get into the national education system is excellent.

However, when a group of outstanding people gather together, excellence ceases to be excellence, and backwardness remains backwardness, and it is different from the outside world.

Within the national education system, once one falls behind and one's potential is not fully exposed, the gap between oneself and one's peers will widen rapidly, leaving one with only an extremely strong sense of psychological disparity and crisis.

What should I do?

In the past, we could only rely on ourselves; there was no other way.

But in the last two days, Yang Qingfeng's appearance has brought new hope.

Only the senior sisters of the Yang family cared and were able to see through the essence with "discerning eyes".

Because they were left behind, they were more realistic, more meticulous, and more deeply aware of how much benefit Yang Qingfeng could bring them.

To say nothing of the distant past, Yang Qingfeng's high-intensity speed runs, running the dungeon over a hundred times in two days, earned him over five thousand contribution points.

Based on a 20% ratio, that's thousands of group contribution points, which is equivalent to one person's minimum monthly expenses. If broken down, it could alleviate the cultivation pressure of at least five people.

When faced with undeniable benefits, it's inevitable to become infatuated.

Let alone being infatuated, as long as Yang Qingfeng can motivate and help them cultivate, even if they are truly in love, it is a genuine expression of affection, so what's wrong with that?

Who says you can't talk about life, ideals, and build a happy family with your junior?

It's just that there are a lot of women in our family...

The Yang sisters all understood this without saying a word.

The new group was actually using a honey trap to ensnare Yang Qingfeng.

They even created all sorts of cool photos and videos around Yang Qingfeng, using his good looks to lure more members.

To be honest, they may have relatively weak potential for cultivation, but as senior teachers of the national school, they are definitely experienced.

Jiang Yuan, who was also a newcomer, had just stepped into the square when she was attacked.

"Yang Qingfeng's group?"

"Yes, yes, Yang Qingfeng, this year's national champion! Look at him, not only is he handsome and tall, but he can also work for two days and two nights straight without stopping. He's incredibly capable and has an extremely fierce fighting spirit!"

"We believe he will definitely have a bright future and become the sharpest weapon of humanity."

"Junior sister, you are so beautiful and charming. You must be intelligent, kind-hearted, and have a better understanding of national sentiment than we do. Therefore, you must join us to protect Junior Brother Yang."

"Together we will protect him, support him, cherish him, love him, and possess him..."

As a young lady from a prominent family in Beijing, Jiang Yuan was inherently quite aloof and disliked associating with the young masters and ladies of Beijing's elite circles since childhood. However, she suddenly discovered that so many people admired Yang Qingfeng.

The thought in her mind suddenly snapped back to normal, as if it had been kicked hard, and then an incredibly strong idea flashed through her mind.

She wants to be Yang Qingfeng's most steadfast supporter!

She also wants to make the Yang family's team shine!

…………

Yang Qingfeng was fast asleep in the dungeon, completely unaware that the outside world had changed. He only woke up when he felt a little suffocated and saw blue and white peaks filling his vision.

Looking up, one could see the female swordswoman's face, hazy and slightly pink.

Yang Qingfeng froze abruptly, realizing that he had been sleeping terribly, clinging tightly to Jian Hun like a hooligan.

The female sword spirits were all so beautiful that they made the boy feel naturally embarrassed, especially since they were his summoned creatures. Suddenly, a strong sense of guilt welled up in his heart.

"Uh...sorry."

Yang Qingfeng hurriedly sat up, only to see Jian Hun raise his hand and rub his head.

This gesture, seemingly out of pity for the sword master, left Yang Qingfeng completely dumbfounded.

The sword spirit suddenly became so gentle, so gentle that it was overflowing with spirituality.

The faint pink tinge on its face, combined with the obvious change, jolted Yang Qingfeng awake.

He quickly checked the Sword Soul's attributes.

[Sixth-Rank Sword Soul]

[Level: 30]

【Root bone: 8500】

[Mana: 8500]

Dexterity: 8500

[Endurance: 8500]

[Skill: Living on the Brink of Death]

[Born to Die: Burn all soul power to transform into sword energy, dealing 300% damage to the designated target. After casting the skill, the sword soul will return to the sword domain. Cooldown: 25 minutes]

The four-dimensional attributes skyrocketed to 8500 points!

Of these, 6500 is the base attribute at level 30, and the extra 2000 is the upgrade bonus!

The skills have also changed a bit.

The damage was originally 200%, now it has been increased to 300%, and the cooldown time has been reduced by 5 minutes.

While it may seem like a significant improvement, the fundamental principle of mutual destruction remains unchanged.

Yang Qingfeng had a vague feeling that once the attributes of the sword souls reached a certain level and underwent a true transformation, their skills might be able to play a real role.

Of course, at this stage, the Sword Master is already powerful enough even without using skills.

"Having you all by my side is probably the greatest fortune of my life."

"Thank you for your continued support."

Yang Qingfeng didn't know if the sword spirits could understand him, but he couldn't help but say what was on his mind. After speaking, he began to check his attributes, and couldn't help but feel a little excited again.

Unlike the level increase from 9 to 10, the level increase from 19 to 20 is significantly higher.

Name: Yang Qingfeng

[Cultivation: Swordsmanship]

[Cultivation Period: 40 years and 05 days]

[Level: 20 (0.3%)]

[Constitution: 750 + 1300 (Strength)]

[Mana: 2400 + 1450 (Spirit)]

[Agility: 730 + 1300]

Endurance: 730 + 1400 (Stamina)

[Equipment: Enchanted Cloak]

【Sword Domain: 190/200】

[Talent: Eternal Spirit Dao Heart (Level 3)]

[Eternal Spirit Dao Heart: Increases Comprehension by 30 times, and increases Dao Cultivation gained in battle by 30 times]

[Active Skills: Summon Sword Soul (Level 30), Transform into Sword (Level 30), Sword Explosion (Level 29)]

Passive Skills: Sword Master (No Level Requirement), Sword Control (Level 30)

[Summon Sword Spirit: Consumes mana to summon a Rank 6 Sword Spirit]

[Sword Transformation: Transforms a sword spirit or other unclaimed soul into a spirit sword. The spirit sword is influenced by the sword master's cultivation level and can inherit some of the soul's skills from its previous life.]

【Sword Explosion: Detonates a controllable sword, dealing damage equal to 390% of the sword master's cultivation level. The higher the sword master's cultivation level, the larger the explosion radius.】

[Sword Master: Ruler of the sword path within the domain; as long as the Sword Master exists, the sword soul will never die.]

[Sword Control: Everything can be a sword; control it with your mind. All sword skills deal 30 times more damage.]

Secondary attributes remain largely unchanged, with minimal improvement.

Mana, the primary attribute, skyrocketed to 2400 points!

The base mana at level 20 is 1400, and it increases by a full 1000 points when you advance to the next level!

This time, Yang Qingfeng didn't get excited beforehand; he tried to summon a new sword spirit.

As a crack tore open in front of him, a significantly stronger aura than before overflowed out.

The wind howled, and a new sword spirit answered the call and descended upon the world.

There were no other changes in appearance, except that the hazy face had a more vivid feel.

Most importantly, the 2400 mana points were instantly reduced to 900.

"really…"

As expected, Yang Qingfeng smiled, though with a hint of helplessness.

After reaching the sixth rank, the mana required to summon the sword spirit reached 1500 points. If it weren't for the mana boost from the equipment, he would have been exhausted for a long time.

It's worth mentioning the Sword Explosion.

Yang Qingfeng did not choose the more efficient Bamboo Shadow Mountain because he wanted to use the hardness of the Great Stone Guardian to improve the level of Sword Explosion. The effect was significant, but unfortunately not perfect.

Before Yang Qingfeng advanced, it had already reached the maximum level once. However, it did not automatically improve with Yang Qingfeng's subsequent leveling up. This may be the biggest difference between acquired skills and innate skills.

It's easy to see that acquired skills become increasingly difficult to improve as you progress.

Yang Qingfeng thus vaguely realized that honing his skills might be the most important thing.

In addition, [Eternal Spirit Sword Heart] and [Sword Control] have also been improved.

Their improvement was hardly unexpected, and even anticipated. Nevertheless, Yang Qingfeng couldn't help but feel excited and particularly thrilled.

Now that things have come to this, Yang Qingfeng has realized that the core of his Dao Body is his Dao cultivation, and what truly allows his Dao cultivation to exert an absolute advantage is the damage amplification from sword control.

Increases comprehension by 30 times, increases the rate of Taoist cultivation acquisition, and enhances the base damage of skills.

A 30x damage increase; the higher the base damage, the greater the power after the amplification.

Now that the upper limit of cultivation has been broken, Yang Qingfeng doesn't know or dare to ask how much cultivation level he can reach at the second level. He only knows that he must take a trip to the wilderness next.

As long as you max out your cultivation level every time you advance, you can maintain an "invincible" state, ensuring maximum efficiency and safety in future upgrades.

"In that case, we've figured out the path."

"It's not over yet, the main event has just begun."

Yang Qingfeng took a few deep breaths, flipped his hands over, and pulled out two scrolls of questions.
