Chen Fan turned his head…
At the edge of the training ground, he saw a middle-aged man with a long knife, standing shoulder to shoulder with his master Zhang Hai.
The man was in his forties, with bright and lively eyes like flashing electricity, and an impressive demeanor.
Despite being shorter than Chen Fan, the man gave him an odd feeling of looking up to him!
What surprised Chen Fan even more was…
Under the dim light, this man seemed to exude a strange presence; from a distance, he looked like an unsheathed demonic knife!
Chen Fan immediately rushed a few steps forward to greet him politely.
Zhang Hai glanced at the guardian beasts striving hard in training in the distance and nodded in satisfaction, “No need to be formal, this is your senior brother Bai Tianyu. He is my younger brother’s disciple, and also the lord of the East Sea City.”
Lord of the East Sea City!
The father of Bai Ruge?!
Chen Fan was shocked.
He knew he would eventually meet Bai Tianyu, but he didn’t expect it would be so soon!
On the first day of school, his master Zhang Hai had actually brought Bai
Tianyu here…
Bai Tianyu smirked, “Master has been singing praises of you, saying you have a prodigious talent. I was somewhat skeptical until….”
“This morning, you signed your fourth Guardian Beast contract in the War God
Academy.”
“Although you are young, your talent is so strong that I’m envious and jealous!”
Chen Fan quickly bowed his head, “Senior brother, you flatter me. Signing the fourth Guardian Beast is purely luck.”
“What luck?” Bai Tianyu chuckled and shook his head, “Without talent and a strong soul power, one cannot sign multiple Guardian Beast contracts.”
“Under the fourth realm, theoretically, you can only sign one Guardian Beast.”
“Like Chu Xuan and Fang Qingqing, they signed three Guardian Beasts before reaching the second realm, which is extraordinary talent.”
“In the whole East Sea City, among the three academies and five great families, there are only seven such people.”
“Others… there are only two people who have signed two Guardian Beasts.”
“Yet, you have signed four Guardian Beasts… In the past thousand years, only
Chu Qingcheng has achieved this feat at your age.”
“So, you don’t need to be humble.”
“Whether in terms of your talent in cultivating guardian beasts or raising them, you are incredible and rare in the world!” Again he heard the name of Chu Qingcheng.
But Chen Fan didn’t ask further.
After curiously sizing Chen Fan up, Bai Tianyu said: “The master told me before that you use a knife…”
“So after consulting with my master, I came specially to teach you a set of knife techniques.”
“Knife techniques!” Chen Fan’s eyes lit up.
Just now he was lamenting over his “Tortoise Saber,” and Senior Brother Bai was actually delivering a knife technique to him!
Bai Tianyu nodded slightly, took a step forward and said, “Empty your mind and get rid of distracting thoughts.”
Zhang Hai on the side was taken aback and hurriedly said, “Tianyu, absolutely not!”
Without looking back, Bai Tianyu said, “Master, there is no need to worry. It just consumes a bit of my soul power. It can be recovered after half a year of cultivation. ”
“This small amount of soul power will not have too much impact on my strength. ”
As he spoke, he stepped forward, and with his fingers mimicking a sword, gently touched Chen Fan’s forehead.
Chen Fan immediately felt a boom in his head. Numerous mysterious pieces of information had already entered his mind.
“Sky-Cleaving Heavenly Blade!”
One Saber Cleaving the Sky and Breaking Surprising Thunder!
Aside from the techniques of the “Sky-Cleaving Heavenly Blade”, Chen Fan’s mind also received Bai Tianyu’s various insights on the cultivation from the first to the fourth saber!
All of a sudden!
Chen Fan, who had his eyes closed tightly, saw a “cloud cluster” blinking at the top of the system panel!
What happened?
Why did the transfer of swordsmanship from Bai Tianyu trigger the system’s “Cloud Clusters” reaction?
While Chen Fan was accepting the transfer of abilities from Bai Tianyu, he distractedly checked the system panel.
Above the energy bar of the system, there were many “Cloud Clusters”.
When he first activated the system, Chen Fan had checked these cloud clusters, suspecting that they were skills that could be unlocked with energy in the future.
Chen Fan focused his mind and looked at the cloud cluster that was shining with light.
On the cloud cluster, four slightly blurred characters appeared… Sky-Cleaving
Heavenly Blade!
What’s going on?
Did the Sky-Cleaving Heavenly Blade that Bai Tianyu transferred to him come pre-installed in the system?
Did the swordsmanship on the system get transferred to the outside world?
Chen Fan suppressed the shock in his heart and began to patiently accept the information transferred by Bai Tianyu.
Thirty-five seconds later…
Bai Tianyu withdrew his finger. His entire body seemed to be drained, losing all of the fierce momentum he had before!
“Senior Brother Bai, you…”
Chen Fan did not really understand this kind of skill transfer.
But through the previous exclamations from the master and the current weak state of Bai Tianyu, he understood that Bai Tianyu had consumed a large amount of soul power to transfer the swordsmanship to him!
Bai Tianyu waved his hand with a smile and said: “Don’t overthink it.”
“The loss of my soul power can be compensated through cultivation, and it won’t have a big impact on my current strength.”
“Only by using this method, I can pass on to you everything I have perceived from practicing the ‘Sky-Cleaving Heavenly Blade’ over the years.”
“Why…” Chen Fan’s nose was a bit sour.
Since childhood, besides the dean of the orphanage, no one else has been so kind to him.
Moreover, he and Bai Tianyu were meeting for the first time.
Even if it’s out of respect for Master Zhang Hai, it didn’t have to go to this extent, right?
“You will understand in the future.’
Bai Tianyu lightly patted Chen Fan’s shoulder and said, “I am very much looking forward to your growth.”
“Cultivate this swordsmanship well…”
“The ‘Sky-Cleaving Heavenly Blade’ comes from a breathtaking existence. It is not cluttered with material things, not restrained by shapes. It is the supreme swordsmanship in this world.”
“My aptitude is limited. After practicing for so many years, I have only comprehended four blades.”
“Your soul power is strong and you can contract four Guardian Beasts at the age of eighteen. Your future achievements in swordsmanship will definitely far exceed mine.”
“I hope that in the future, based on my foundation, you will be able to understand all nine blades and achieve fusion!”
Zhang Hai said seriously: “In Tang Country, all main cities and city lords must attain the Seventh Stage… Only when they have reached the Seventh Stage can they claim to be masters.”
“Tianyu is the only city lord at the peak of the Sixth Stage, Fifth Layer.”
“Just because he practiced the ‘Sky-Cleaving Heavenly Blade’ to the fourth blade!”
Bai Tianyu laughed awkwardly: “Master, could you have… said that after I left?” Zhang Hai said with a smile: “I am praising you, not mocking you…”
“When you were gloriously able to cut down a Grade 7 Grandmaster with a single blade. What a sight that was!”
“In the vast Tang Country, which Grade 7 Grandmaster would dare underestimate you?”
Bai Tianyu waved his hand with a smile: “You are overrating me, Master… After all these years of effort, I still haven’t fully comprehended the fifth blade, nor have I broken through to the Seventh Stage. I feel a bit unworthy of my master.”
“…” Chen Fan was filled with respect.
The higher the level of cultivation, the bigger the gap between each grade.
Forget about differentiating by a large realm, even a difference of one layer could make a world of difference!
A sixth-grade peak who had killed a Grade 7 Grandmaster with just one stroke…it was simply unimaginable!
If Senior Brother Bai could break through to the Seventh Stage, or fully comprehend the fifth blade, what terrifying scenario would that be?
“Sky-Cleaving Heavenly Blade”…
