Global Awakening: Start with the Asura template unlocked

"You brat, are you still angry? You need to know when to accept the consequences of your actions. How many times have I told you that?"

After scolding the girl, Tantai Jin smiled at Su Ye, who looked puzzled, and said, "Little Su, the reason this girl misses you so much is because..."

After hearing the whole story, Su Ye was at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

He seemed to just remember that Ziyun had mentioned this.

"Su Su, be careful when you go to Shanghai. Xuan'er seems to still hold a grudge against you for making her lose a bet and not being able to study in Jiangnan. She said she uses your picture as a tool for sword practice every day, stabbing your nose with the sword ten thousand times, chopping your hair ten thousand times, and slapping your handsome face with the sword ten thousand times..."

"Well, anyway, she said this is her current motivation for practicing swordsmanship, even more effective than her father's encouragement. But I think she might have already fallen into demonic possession. You... must be very careful!"

At first, Su Ye didn't pay much attention, thinking it was just a joke, but seeing the situation now...

That resentful gaze…

Ten thousand times the sword pierced his mouth, ten thousand times it chopped off his hair, ten thousand times the blade struck his fair, handsome face…

It has that feeling of being someone's father's killer.

Su Ye hadn't expected to get caught in the crossfire, but he didn't seem to care.

"Junior Su, you have no idea, before you even came to Shanghai, my cousin was always clamoring to challenge you. I've seen this kind of plot in novels. From the moment a girl starts to resent a boy, the gears of fate begin to turn, and the seed called love will take root in each other's hearts and then slowly sprout..."

Finally, the fruit of love was born!

Seeing the wavy-haired youth nodding obsequiously with a look of utter ecstasy, Tantai Jin silently gave her nephew a thumbs up.

The marriage between Su Ye and this girl was something that his father and he, as the father, had discussed a few days ago.

The father and son clapped and cheered, drinking until dawn, and had even thought of a name for their grandson.

His nephew clearly shared the same sentiments as his second uncle; they were truly family.

Nephew, well done!

Ten minutes later, the psionic vehicle quickly drove into the vast Tantai family home.

On the way, Su Ye also learned the identity of the young man with wavy hair.

Tantai Mo!

One of the direct descendants of the Tantai family, he is Tantai Jin's nephew!

Furthermore, he is a formidable prodigy from the Holy University of the Shanghai Federation who is participating in the Martial Arts Tournament this time.

His special ability is an S-rank weapon spirit of killing, the Fiery Killing Sword!

Like Chen Feng and Zhao Jue, he is a top genius who has gathered the essence of three springs.

Even in terms of cultivation, he has already stepped into the peak of the Golden Realm, making him a top-tier existence second only to those two dual-ability users!

That's just his personality...

Hmm, that's quite humorous.

After getting off the bus.

As Su Ye followed Tantai Jin into the reception hall, he was immediately drawn to a huge stone sculpture within his sensory environment.

Looking at the stone chips on the ground, it was clear that they had been carved recently, but they were still unfinished.

Only the outline of a head was completed inside the huge boulder, along with eye sockets that were carved with eyes closed.

The mouth, nose, hair, ears, and cheeks were all blurry...

Even so, just looking at those closed eye sockets, why do they look so familiar?

"Junior, that's a one-headed statue that my cousin sculpted based on your head shape. Apparently, she said that once her swordsmanship improves and she's capable enough, she'll definitely carve an exact replica, and then, from top to bottom, slash out a sword of love..."

However, this little girl's swordsmanship is still not refined enough. She's only carved the eyes; who knows when she'll finish carving the rest. And with this level of swordsmanship, she was already clamoring to challenge yours before you even arrived! Haha!

Hearing Tantai Mo's teasing tone, Tantai Xuan'er blushed with embarrassment: "I'll carve a complete head sooner or later, and then..."

This brat, can't she have a little more emotional intelligence?!

"Cough cough."

Tantai Jin coughed lightly and quickly said with a smile, "Little Su, I've heard my father say that your knife skills are amazing, and your sword skills are also quite good, even comparable to Nephew Mo. How about this, you two try carving for your little sister Xuan'er and see if she likes it."

Tantai Mo's eyes darted around, and he quickly added, "Grandpa really said that, Second Uncle?"

"My second uncle never lies, you know that."

"Got it, then I definitely have to have a match with my junior! I might not be able to beat him in terms of talent, but when it comes to swordsmanship, I'm not going to give up! Junior, this boulder is big enough to carve two full-body statues, how about something a little more exciting, one for each of us?"

……

Staring at the enormous stone sculpture before him, Su Ye laughed and said, "Sculpt me? That's fine too."

As long as it's not him personally, Tantai Xuan'er can chop any statue, portrait sticker, or anything else she wants.

He was actually more interested in seeing just how strong Tantai Mo, this potential rival of their Jiangnan Academy, really was.

Smiling, Su Ye took out the Dark Gold Supreme Longsword, which had been upgraded to a fourth-tier weapon.

Tantai Mo also quickly took out his beloved sword, a fiery red longsword with flame patterns.

next moment.

Swish!

Swish!

The two figures disappeared at the same time.

Sparks flew from the boulder, accompanied by the clanging of metal. The two men, one on the left and one on the right, wielded two completely different sword techniques, carving the boulder rapidly.

Tantai Mo's swordsmanship is like a raging fire, rapid and explosive, giving people an amazing sense of pressure and urgency.

Su Ye's swordsmanship, due to his mastery of the sword, is so refined that every basic movement is executed to perfection, giving it a natural, flowing quality, like returning to simplicity.

In the corridor, Tantai Jin's expression gradually turned serious. The next moment, she looked at Su Ye's constantly flashing figure and every sword move with a sigh: "Xuan'er, do you still think that your swordsmanship is invincible among the young people of your generation?"

After saying this, the girl bit her red lips and stared intently at the boy's retreating figure: "If I had shamelessly challenged him to a sword duel just now, I probably... wouldn't have lasted twenty moves!"

Tantai Jin grinned: "Is it really twenty moves?"

"Two moves! Two moves, please! Father, you're just mocking me. Although I can't beat them both, I can tell that Brother Mo's swordsmanship doesn't look as solid as that bastard's!"

"Your judgment is not bad. As a family of weapon spirit masters, the granddaughter and grandson of the Sword Saint, not to mention your powerful sword skills, you can't even match the solid basic swordsmanship of someone who doesn't specialize in swordsmanship. You really should reflect on this."

Hearing her father's admonition, Tantai Xuan'er silently lowered her head: "That guy, with such perfect basic swordsmanship, must have put in a lot of hard work. Father, I will definitely catch up with him!"

In the short time that the father and daughter were talking, Su Ye finished carving in less than ten minutes.

A statue, six meters tall and almost identical in proportion to the real person, depicts a serene young man with a smile on his lips, wearing a black jumpsuit, standing quietly there.

Nodding in satisfaction, Su Ye immediately sensed the presence of Tantai Mo, who was also about to finish carving.

But when he released his senses, he was completely dumbfounded.

But what Tantai Mo had carved was definitely not Su Ye at all!

She wore a long lotus-patterned dress, her tall and alluring figure accentuated by her waist-length hair tied back, revealing a beautiful forehead beneath a few strands.

There were even more beautiful and clearer bright eyes and white teeth, gazing affectionately at the boy who was about the same height beside her, intently looking at his tender face.

The spark of emotion in her eyes was so vivid, perfectly capturing the pure love and curiosity of a young girl experiencing her first stirrings of love.

This statue was sculpted based on the prototype of Tantai Xuan'er.

In a sense, Su Ye won this battle of carving skills when it came to swordsmanship.

However, if we compare the emotions the statues are meant to express, Tantai Mo's sculpture of a young girl experiencing her first love surpasses Su Ye's.

Tantai Jin first smiled slightly at her nephew, then looked at the two statues and nodded repeatedly: "The man is handsome and dashing, with a smile on his lips that exudes youthful spirit; the woman is beautiful and charming, with eyes that reveal the purest love. They are even more than the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, they are simply a match made in heaven!"

Tantai Xuan'er looked up, her beautiful face already flushed red, glaring at her cousin.

……

After giving Tantai Mo a good beating, Tantai Xuan'er slowed her pace as she walked towards the hall, keeping pace with Su Ye.

The latter could even smell the girl's light yet pleasant body fragrance.

Su Ye turned his head in confusion, but the girl suddenly turned her face away, her cheeks flushed, and her voice was barely audible: "I'm sorry, I was too serious, too childish, doing such a childish thing with your picture..."

Looking at Tantai Xuan'er's adorable appearance, which was clearly shy yet straightforward.

Su Ye covered her mouth and chuckled, "If I minded, would I still carve myself to be chopped by you? But I heard from Zi Yun that you've improved rapidly by using my portrait stickers to practice swordsmanship, practicing until you're exhausted every day."

Anyway, I don't mind. If it really motivates you, I'd recommend you keep practicing. After all, everyone has their own unique training methods.

Upon hearing Su Ye's words, Tantai Xuan'er's ears turned bright red, her face glowing with a delicate beauty: "Thank you~"

Regardless of whether Su Ye heard her or not, the girl strode ahead with her long, beautiful legs and headed straight for the reception hall.

Seeing this, Tantai Jin and Tantai Mo, who were watching from behind, exchanged a silent smile.

Stepping forward and putting his arm around Su Ye's shoulder, Tantai Mo smiled and said, "Junior brother, tomorrow is the day of the Martial Arts Tournament. Tonight, the government will be hosting a banquet for us geniuses at the Heavenly Pavilion in Shanghai so we can get to know each other. How about this, you bring your cousin, and I'll bring my fiancée, understand?"

There's a banquet too?

Su Ye was taken aback at first, then nodded subconsciously. Since it was an invitation from the Dragon Kingdom government, there was no harm in going. It would be a good opportunity to find out who this so-called dual-ability prodigy really was.

Because if he awakens a second invincible template in the future, he could very well become a dual-powered being.

It could even be... a dual-god-level ability.
