After a night's rest.

Sude woke up, ready for another energetic day.

Fei Xue, however, stayed outside all night to guard against attacks from monsters.

Along the way, the closer they got to the capital, the more monsters there were.

As was his custom, Su De practiced his daily morning exercises, including sword practice.

It seems there are no slimes to kill today.

what a pity.

Feixue watched intently from the side. Perhaps it was because she hadn't seen her teacher practice swordsmanship in a long time, or perhaps it was out of respect for her teacher, but she watched very carefully.

From her perspective.

Each of Su De's sword swings was extremely concise and powerful, steady and composed, exuding a steady and powerful aura.

No matter which angle you attack from, you can't find a single flaw.

What appears to be a simple slash actually conceals immense power within the sword; any demon that touches it will die instantly.

Only a swordsman with superb swordsmanship can see the secrets behind it.

Even she couldn't figure out how to win.

She had never seen such flawless swordsmanship before.

There were at least 800, if not a thousand, swordsmen who challenged her, and 99% of them couldn't even last a single move against her.

It can be described as a swordsmanship that is simple yet profound, an invincible swordsmanship.

"The teacher's swordsmanship is still so pleasing to the eye."

Fei Xue sighed from the side.

Su De shook his head and said, "It's just routine training, nothing technically demanding, so it's hardly something to be admired."

He suddenly remembered something and smiled:

"How about I see how much you've improved over the years?"

Fei Xue was somewhat surprised to hear this, but she still straightened her back and was eager to try: "It is my honor to be able to spar with the teacher."

Both of them assumed a stance and bowed.

This scene quickly attracted the attention of the surrounding knights.

In their eyes, Captain Fei Xue is the strongest magic swordsman in the capital, and her strength is beyond doubt. However, the uncle in front of them seems to be her teacher.

He looked a bit old and was a nobody with no connections. Even if they knew Su De's identity, they didn't think he would be a match for the commander.

After all, there are countless examples of apprentices who are more skilled than their teachers.

"Back then, Captain Fei Xue defeated the kingdom's swordsmanship instructor in just three years to prove herself. That person was a formidable character who had adventured with the hero."

"I think it wasn't as bad as when the Sword Saint disciple from the Kingdom of Letheran came to provoke us. No young man in the entire kingdom could beat that genius. Fortunately, Captain Feixue intervened."

"Let's make a bet on how many moves this Teacher Su De can withstand from the commander."

The knights chattered amongst themselves, all believing that their leader had practically secured the victory.

Teachers are just guides; how well you achieve in the future depends on yourself.

"You make the first move, let me see how much you've improved over the years."

Sude smiled and nodded.

Fei Xue closed her eyes and inhaled, placing her hand on the hilt of her sword. She launched the first attack, and the instant she drew her sword, she unleashed a superb and lightning-fast sword technique.

The sword, trailing a long stream of blue flame, appeared instantly above Sude's head.

So fast was it that the moment it appeared, all the knights stared wide-eyed, not even having time to utter a cry of surprise.

In their view, this was the true level of the regimental commander.

If they were to face them, they would be instantly killed.

However, the next second.

The metal clashed, producing a resounding clang!

Before anyone knew it, Su De had already drawn his sword and blocked the attack.

Seeing that her attack was blocked, Fei Xue was not discouraged at all; instead, her eyes gleamed with admiration.

In the entire capital, there are few who can withstand a single sword strike from her.

The teacher can serve as a whetstone for her right now, so why not?

After the second breath, Fei Xue completely let go and began to actively try to attack, swinging her sword from all angles.

Holy Cross Slash.

Starry Sky One-Word Slash.

...

However, when faced with these attacks, Sude barely moved his body, only moving the sword with his wrist or arm at the smallest and most precise angle.

They successfully deflected all the attacks.

Each block or deflection produced an extremely slight, even silent, impact, as if Fei Xue's full-force attack had merely landed lightly on the rock.

Sude's sword was like an insurmountable barrier, without the slightest sway or retreat, demonstrating absolute stability and control over power.

From the perspective of the other knights.

Fei Xue launched a series of attacks, turning into afterimages as she swung her sword, producing a series of crackling metallic sounds.

Su De remained motionless, his hands never stopping, deflecting all the attacks with a calm expression.

Seeing this, they looked at each other in bewilderment.

They seemed to have figured out why the leader had asked his teacher to come out of retirement!

This unassuming country uncle is actually quite remarkable!

How can such terrifying power be unleashed from such an ordinary-looking body?

At this moment, only the parties involved have the most say.

Fei Xue was quite shocked.

With her giving it her all, the teacher didn't even need to move a step?

She thought to herself, "My sword seems to have pierced through a sticky swamp, its power instantly dissipated and redirected. I can't even get my teacher to take it seriously?" Fei Xue thought to herself.

She felt that all her attack routes were anticipated and blocked, and she could not find any gaps to break through, which gave her a strong sense of powerlessness.

In an instant, she felt extremely annoyed.

I thought that after more than ten years of hard work, I could finally get closer to my teacher.

Who would have thought that the teacher would still be like a mountain, making it hard for her to breathe.

It was obvious to everyone that the teacher was giving her tips and tricks.

A one-sided defense with no offensive action.

"What other moves do you have? If not, then the teacher is going to start the attack."

Su De's voice came through.

This made Fei Xue's silvery-white eyelashes tremble slightly.

She can't lose so badly; she at least has to make the teacher take it seriously.

Then, she decided to use her ultimate move.

She retreated like a startled wild goose, landing on a mossy rock.

She placed the holy sword horizontally, parallel to the ground.

A battle aura of both ice and fire emanated from the sword's edge, each covering half of the blade, and a terrifying shockwave swept through the forest.

Many knights' expressions changed slightly, and they looked in the direction of the commander with considerable panic.

This is a sword technique she learned at the ruins of a sword saint. It is called the Holy Flame Sword and is incredibly powerful. It was left behind by an ancient sword saint hundreds of years ago and has hardly ever been used.

Unexpectedly, it was used against Teacher Su De.

"Holy Flame, grant me immortal power."

As the chant ended, the sword flew from his hand.

"That's really impressive."

Su De had never seen such a powerful move before, and he was surprised, praising it repeatedly.

However, he will have to deal with this seriously from now on.

After such a long period of sparring, one can generally sense that one hundred attribute points should place one in the top tier of combat power in the human kingdom.

His hand rested on the ancient hilt of the sword, whose design was very strange, unlike anything from this world, as if it came from another world.

An exaggerated sword aura rushed towards them.

As an ordinary swordsman, Su De's attack moves were extremely simple, consisting of simply drawing his sword.

These movements are unpretentious and their speed doesn't seem outrageously fast, but they contain a pure and extremely refined "momentum".

This "force" is extremely special, like a pure spear that turns anything it touches into dust.

The Holy Flame Sword, transformed into Holy Fire and the Song of Ice, vanished abruptly before this "force".

Upon seeing this, Fei Xue's pupils contracted slightly. Faced with such an attack, her body instinctively felt extremely dangerous, creating the illusion that she could not dodge it.

She might try her best to block or retreat, but Sude's sword tip seemed to predict all her evasive routes, always looming over her vital points.

Before the sword even arrived, the concentrated pressure of its power made her breath catch in her throat and her movements become sluggish.

"Why can't I dodge it when it looks so slow?!"

"The power on the sword... it's so heavy! Like a mountain!"

"This sword... has blocked all my escape routes!"

Fei Xue felt that her speed and skills, which she was so proud of, were meaningless in the face of her teacher's simple sword strike, and she could only passively endure the terrifying pressure.

She could only passively parry with her sword.

But Sude's sword displayed overwhelming power, which was controlled to an exquisite degree.

Fei Xue felt her sword being firmly held and suppressed by an irresistible force. Her arm went numb, her tiger's mouth felt like it was about to split, and she almost dropped the sword.

But the next second, the sword tip stopped at her throat, and what met her was the teacher's heroic face.

"You've made great progress! You were so small back then."

Su De slowly sheathed his sword and praised him in this way.

Once all the storm had subsided, Fei Xue took a deep breath.

"I lost. The teacher is still as amazing as he was back then."

She realized the huge gap between herself and her teacher.

The teacher's control over strength has reached a state of perfection; he handles heavy objects with ease and with complete control.

I felt as vulnerable as a baby in his presence.

Sud shook his head and said, "It's just a friendly spar. If you use magic, I'm definitely no match for you."

Feixue only felt that the teacher was comforting her.

She bowed deeply to Sude, expressing her heartfelt gratitude: "I learned a lot from this exchange. I relied too much on magic and forgot the basics."

Sude encouraged him, "Practice hard, your teacher believes you will become the greatest swordsman."

"I will!"

Faced with her teacher's expectations, Fei Xue regained her confidence.

While magic is undoubtedly powerful, it can only admit defeat in the face of such swordsmanship.

Therefore, personal strength is the key to success.

"With you here, the future of the Kingdom of Avalon is saved!"

Suddenly, he heard admiring voices behind him. Sud turned around and saw a middle-aged knight who was not tall, had a round face, and a mustache.

"It's hard to believe that the Kingdom of Avalon has a swordsmanship master like you. Please forgive our previous underestimation, and we apologize."

The other was a tall, thin, fair-skinned young man with heavy eye bags, as if he hadn't slept well.

Fei Xue introduced them thus: "These two are Baron Andrew and Knight Commander Philip. Andrew is also a knight commander, but he is now my subordinate."

Sude nodded slightly.

He never expected that a nobleman would strike up a conversation with him.

The class system in this world is still quite severe.

There was little difference between commoners and slaves; if their ancestors did not have noble titles, they were basically lower-class people.

Sude replied, "I'm just a swordsman from the countryside, not a sword master at all."

"You are being far too modest."

"Yes, if you're not a master swordsman, then we're all just idiots," said Knight Commander Philip, shaking his head.

At that moment, a knight on duty rode up to report: "Commander Scarlet Snow, there is a maze nearby, and many monsters are blocking the way. Should we take a detour?"

Fei Xue frowned and asked, "What level of maze is it?"

"I only saw some fire pythons and undead on the first few floors, so it should be a low-level maze. Moreover, it has magical ley lines, so it should be naturally formed."

Upon hearing this, Su De's expression changed slightly.

Feixue noticed the change in her teacher's expression and asked, "Teacher, have you been to this maze before?"

"I came here once twenty years ago, and I almost died then."

Su De spoke seriously and truthfully.
