Six disciples, with the lowest cultivation, are all genuine great swordsmen.

  Moreover, the great swordsmen of Shenxu Academy, when placed in a small place like Wanxia County, have combat strength that can be compared to that of an external master.

  Facing the siege of six people, Qin Tianyi's cultivation would certainly be unable to withstand it.

  However, he understood that this was Han Yue's intention to see his true strength through this battle, and it did not contain any malice. Even if the mental exhaustion was intense and he fell into weakness, there was no life-threatening danger.

  At this point, the X-01 bio-mech suddenly started up. Qin Tianyi, who was originally not as good as Liu Yue, had a greatly changed momentum. After suddenly taking a sword from Liu Yue head-on, he burst out fiercely, his feet treading on air, and his swordsmanship, "Tian Ji Li Guang", aimed at Wang Si, who was in the realm of a sword master, to kill him. With a huge surge of power, this sword that broke through the air in an instant caused an ear-piercing explosion.

  "Hmm!?"

  Obviously, Wang Si's expression suddenly solidified, and at the moment when Qin Tianyi's sword pierced through, her figure flashed with lightning speed. Qin Tianyi's powerful sword, as fast as lightning, barely shattered her residual shadow.

  The next moment, a cold sword edge had already slashed from one side, the sword edge approached his body, and the sharpness that was completely tempered by the true yuan made his skin ache with pain.

  "My defense... can't withstand it!"

  As this idea emerged in his mind, Qin Tianyi's sword edge changed rapidly, turning offense into defense.

  Bang!

  Flames shooting in all directions.

  Wang Si's sword fell heavily on Qin Tianyi's Shanhe Sword, which was blocking its way. The massive force shook open, rebounding against Qin Tianyi's body, causing his figure to retreat repeatedly.

  "Ah!"

  Along with the soft cry of water, Qin Tianyi, who lost his balance in the retreat, was simultaneously approached by Liu Yan and Hua Yuanyuan, who were attacking him. The cold sword tip stabbed directly into Qin Tianyi's body.

  "Hah! Hah!"

  Two swords pierced into Qin Tianyi's body, not even a single thread was left untouched. Not only that, but at this moment, Qin Tianyi also burst out with the thick true energy inside his body, counter-shocking and sending out a massive force that repelled both of them, striking them back. Then, the sword technique that shone brightly in the sky struck again, directly meeting Wang Si who was pursuing and attacking.

  "Whoosh!"

  Sword energy shattered the air, as if it was going to tear apart the void!

  But...

  A sword with such great power has missed its mark once again.

  Wang Si's body technique was pushed to the extreme, his feet treading on a mysterious and subtle footwork, dodging Qin Tianji's sword and then killing again, forcing Qin Tianji to defend once more.

  Bang!

  A massive counter-shock force erupted from the sword once again.

  Moreover, the huge gap between true energy and true yuan caused Qin Tianyi's Mountain River Sword to have numerous cracks after the last collision. With this explosion triggered by the collision of true energies again, the entire Mountain River Sword was shattered into powder. The sharpness of Wang Sipei's sword did not diminish, carrying a piercing sharpness that pierced through all things, and stabbed directly into Qin Tianyi's chest.

  "Crack!"

  It was as if the sound of X-01's mechanical armor being locally destroyed echoed in his mind. In the spiritual sense, the green light that flashed at the center of the sword suddenly dimmed, and then blood splattered everywhere. Wang Si's sword had already broken through X-01's strong defense and truly pierced into his body. Only one moment was needed for the true energy contained in the sword to explode, and it could shatter all his internal organs into powder.

  "I've offended you."

  Wang Si Dao shouted and quickly drew his sword.

  "Ah, Qin Shixiong, you're injured."

  "It doesn't matter, Wang Sixue has already restrained most of her strength, it's just a flesh wound."

  Qin Tianyi spoke in a low voice, his mind slightly turning, the wound had stopped bleeding, and then the power of the X-01 biological mech suit quickly surged into the wound, starting to spontaneously repair this injury.

  "Sister Yue!"

  Seeing Qin Tianyi being hit by a sword, Shui Rou suddenly looked very unhappy.

  However, Han Yue didn't pay attention to Shui Rou, but instead voluntarily evaluated: "The defensive power is very strong and can ignore any attack below the sword master. In other places, I dare not say that under the sword master of Shenxu Academy, you should have no enemy hand. However, when a strong sword master's true energy transforms into true yuan, its quality, density, and purity are far beyond that of true energy, and it can still break through your defense. Moreover, speed is your biggest weakness... Although you realized your own lack of speed and specially cultivated the Tianji Liuguang sword technique for defensive counterattacks, it's obviously still far from enough. Even if you have a reaction nerve that exceeds ordinary people, it's impossible to truly defeat an experienced strong sword master... In summary, compared to the above, it is not enough, but compared to the below, it has its advantages."

  As for Han Yue's evaluation, Qin Tianyi didn't say anything.

  He himself is also clear about his own situation, and if those swordsmen who do not understand him choose to confront him head-on, he can win by relying on his strong and pure power.

  However, those powerful warriors who have specifically investigated him can easily discover his weaknesses in speed. At that time, they only need to choose to entangle with him and can quickly drag him down.

  "Come, let me introduce you to my top student Little Sisi..."

  Han Yue hadn't even spoken, but Qin Tianyi had already said it: "Wang Si, ranked sixth on the Divine Communication List, advanced to Sword Master realm ten months ago, and half a year ago solidified his Sword Master realm. He has cultivated two master-level sword techniques, Dōng Tiān Jiàn Shù (Cave Heaven Sword Technique) and Shén Yì Jiàn Shù (Divine Riddle Sword Technique), as well as one master-level superior body technique - Yí Xíng Huàn Yǐng (Shape-shifting Shadow)."

  "As he said this, his tone paused slightly: 'The Dōng Tiān Sword Technique is famous for its piercing power. No wonder it can shatter the Shān Hé Sword in my hand and further break through my defense... And that mysterious body technique that easily evades my counterattack? Indeed worthy of being a top-notch master-level body technique. I clearly feel a hint of change in your body technique, yet I fundamentally cannot keep up with your speed.'"

  Wang Si nodded slightly: "You seem to have a good grasp of the Tianji Liuguang sword technique, but after all, the time you've spent cultivating is too short. Perhaps, after some more time has passed and you've fully mastered the Tianji Liuguang sword technique, you'll be able to threaten my Yixing Huanying."

  "Master the Aurora Flash Sword Technique thoroughly!"

  Qin Tianyi nodded slightly.

  He was the same with his own positioning and estimation, as long as he thoroughly mastered the Tianji Flowing Light Swordsmanship, he would truly possess the ability to defend himself in front of those strong swordsmen. If his opponent was just an ordinary swordsman like Zhao Hanqing or Song Yunjin, he could even win a battle against them.

  "How long do you plan on spending mastering the Sky Piercing Light Sword Technique? A year? Half a year? Or three months?"

  Qin Tianyi glanced at Han Yue and smiled slightly: "One month, I believe it's enough."

  "Heh heh, mastering a grandmaster-level sword technique in just one month is indeed astonishingly fast. However, as far as I know, someone seems to have a huge grudge against a self-proclaimed genius from the Divine Void Academy. I wonder if they'll give you a month's time."

  "Huh?"

  Han Yue looked at Qin Tianyi with a teasing expression, then glanced at Wang Si. Wang Si immediately stepped forward: "Gu Wu Shuang, as the second strongest in our Shenwu Academy, is not a name that has been obtained in vain. He had already advanced to the Sword Master realm more than a year ago. However, Gu Wu Shuang has always been someone who doesn't do things without being fully confident. At that time, he didn't think he had a 100% chance of passing the assessment at Shenwu Sect, so he wasted the opportunity to go and take the assessment, choosing instead to continue accumulating strength in Shenwu Academy. Now, his cultivation has reached the peak of early Sword Master, only half a step away from condensing an air swirl and advancing to mid-Sword Master. I fought Gu Wu Shuang three months ago, and at that time, he used not only the Moving Shadow Body Technique but also the top-level sword technique, Zhou Tian Xing Yu."

  It's clear that Han Yue has been investigating Qin Tianyi these days, not only understanding his weaknesses in cultivation, but also figuring out what kind of trouble he is carrying with him.

  "So what?"

  That year's Xuanling Party was so powerful for him, but in the end didn't it still disperse in smoke and clouds before his eyes?

  "How is that? If I'm not mistaken, Gu Musou's swordsmanship has reached the middle stage of the Master Realm!"

  "Swordsmanship Realm?"

  "As expected, people from small places need to learn more general knowledge."

  Han Yue rubbed her forehead, looking rather worried and troubled.

  But...

  There aren't still students here, are there?

  "Xiao Si Si."

  "Yes, instructor."

  Wang Si nodded and began to explain, "The realm of swordsmanship affects the ultimate strength of a cultivator. Two swordsmen, one cultivating superior master-level swordsmanship and the other ordinary master-level swordsmanship, as long as their swordsmanship is not completely incompatible, naturally the superior swordsmanship will be more exquisite. The so-called 'realm of swordsmanship' refers to the degree of harmony with this swordsmanship, and how much power it can unleash. An ordinary swordmaster can naturally unleash 100% of his power when using ordinary master-level swordsmanship, but if he were to use a superior swordsmanship, its mysteriousness would be greatly discounted. Like me, even though I've cultivated the 'Moving Shadow' body technique, because my realm is not high enough, even if I've completely grasped the mystery of this body technique, some profound changes are still unable to be unleashed."

  The so-called boundary is not difficult to understand.

  Qin Tianyi nodded slightly.

  "Goodness, to find out that my opponent's strength is actually this powerful, but Qin Tianyi doesn't have any expression of surprise or shock at all. It seems like your storytelling isn't shocking enough, Little Sisi."

  Wang Si also slightly furrowed his brow.

  Qin Tianyi really didn't understand the meaning of his tone, or was he like a newborn calf who wasn't afraid of tigers?

  "Shocking?"

  Qin Tianyi slightly shook his head, with a hint of deeply hidden arrogance in his expression: "Gu Wu Shuang's current strength is indeed astonishing, but he's nothing more than someone with a good background who entered the Divine Void Academy early. Given enough time, I can absolutely surpass him and leave him far behind. If I could go from Swordman 4th level to Great Swordman in less than a year, why can't I advance to the realm of Swordmaster in the next nine months and defeat him?"

  Qin Tianyi's words made Wang Si, who was frowning, pause slightly.

  However, soon a faint disdain appeared on her face.

  Nine months from Great Swordsman to Sword Master?

  The children of those elders in Shenxu Sect might be possible, but Qin Tianyi...

  "Great, said too well."

  Han Yue was the first to applaud: "Qin Tianyi, that was a wonderful speech! Come on, everyone, let's give him some stunning gazes. Yes, just like Shui Rou, let's gaze at Qin Tianyi with admiration and imagine that a brilliant new star is rising, shining brightly in a year's time, illuminating the entire Shenxu Academy."

  "Sister Yue!"

  On the side, there was indeed a hint of worship in Shui Rou's dissatisfied voice as she shouted.

  Han Yue's words... even she could tell were definitely not praise.

  "A question."

  Han Yue ignored Shui Rou's complaints and slowly stretched out a finger: "Ming Ming already has the power to strangle the threat in its cradle, Gu Wu Shuang, why should you be given nine months to grow?"
