”I’m fine...”

Ji Liushuang slowly shook her head at the greetings from Yuan Xin and the others, signaling that she was alright.

”I was just a little tired, so I came out to rest.”

She shot a quiet glare at Fu Qian. She was still rather annoyed that he had dawdled and failed to leave before the others arrived.

”That’s good!”

Since Ji Liushuang had spoken, the others couldn’t really press the issue. They turned their gazes toward Fu Qian in unison.

Who was this guy? A complete stranger.

None of them believed for a second that the ever-diligent Ji Liushuang would actually step out to rest at a time like this.

To think she would actually ignore the opening of the Sword Pavilion just to run out and meet this guy?

And judging by her expression, their conversation obviously hadn’t been very pleasant.”And this is?”

Yuan Xin swept his gaze over Fu Qian.

He was...

Ji Liushuang looked at Fu Qian, momentarily at a loss for how to answer.

Logically, she didn’t want to believe a single word of Fu Qian’s earlier claims, but there were certain details she couldn’t completely deny.

”Who am I?”

Seeing Ji Liushuang freeze up, Fu Qian scoffed, his expression turning instantly arrogant.

”Who are you supposed to be? Can’t you see Liushuang and I are talking?”

...

Hearing Fu Qian address her so intimately made Yuan Xin frown even deeper.

”Liushuang, it’s such a pity you weren’t there just now. You missed a spectacular scene!”

Another female student stepped up to break the awkwardness, speaking to Ji Liushuang.

”A spectacular scene... Did you comprehend sword intent?”

Ji Liushuang paused for a moment, looking the girl up and down.

”How could it be me!”

The girl covered her mouth with a laugh, pointing at Yuan Xin.

”He had a moment of insight and successfully achieved enlightenment.”

”Really?”

Ji Liushuang looked at Yuan Xin in astonishment, noticing that he did indeed seem a bit different now.

”It’s only a seed. I’m still a long way from true sword intent.”

Yuan Xin barely managed to keep his expression neutral, but the radiant gleam in his eyes was impossible to hide.

His talent and realm had always lagged a bit behind Ji Liushuang’s.

Being able to take a step ahead of her this time left him feeling incredibly proud.

This guy was a real heavyweight!

Fu Qian was also observing this enlightened genius, marveling inwardly.

Compared to the anomaly surrounding Ji Liushuang, this guy’s was far more obvious.

Although his realm was still half a step lower, his every movement naturally carried a trace of cold, sinister energy.

’This is sword intent? That wicked aura is a bit heavy!’

As an expert in Flesh and Blood Ascension, Fu Qian was extremely sensitive to certain things.

This guy’s sword intent seemed related to extreme cold and freezing, but its essence was closer to eradicating life’s vitality. It could genuinely be called somewhat demonic.

”Congratulations.”

Ji Liushuang tried hard to control her emotions as she congratulated Yuan Xin.

Although the Sword Pavilion opened every year, out of the many students, those who could truly comprehend sword intent were few and far between.

As the most highly regarded student in this year’s batch, Ji Liushuang inevitably felt a complex mix of emotions.

”Ah! I think I’ve seen you before. Did you go to the Sword Pavilion just now?”

Someone suddenly remembered and pointed at Fu Qian in surprise.

”Yeah! I was looking for someone.”

Fu Qian nonchalantly admitted it, taking the opportunity to glance at Ji Liushuang.

Sure enough...

The others noticed this exchange and quickly deduced an explanation.

This guy had been looking for Ji Liushuang earlier, but had unfortunately been kicked out before he could find her.

And once Ji Liushuang found out, she had abandoned her chance to comprehend sword intent and come straight out to meet him.

The relationship between these two wasn’t simple at all!

For a moment, the crowd’s gazes turned inexplicably suggestive.

”Sword intent? Now that’s a very interesting thing.”

Fu Qian spoke suddenly to Yuan Xin, noticing Ji Liushuang’s stiff expression.

”Could you stab me once with your sword? I’d like to experience it for myself.”

’Stab you with my sword?’

Yuan Xin clearly hadn’t expected Fu Qian to make such a request.

However, for someone who had just obtained a new skill, having a volunteer offer themselves as a test dummy was absolutely perfect.

”Don’t worry, I absolutely won’t fight back.”

As he spoke, Fu Qian placed both hands behind his back. His demeanor looked exactly like an old father stepping up to defend his daughter.

At this, it wasn’t just the onlookers—even Ji Liushuang’s eyes flickered.

Of course, only Fu Qian knew that he just wanted to confirm if there was anything fishy about this sword intent.

Judging from the current situation, this sudden comprehension of sword intent was very likely related to his mission.

”Then pardon the offense.”

Displeased by Fu Qian’s posturing, Yuan Xin scoffed and rested his hand on his waist.

Naturally, he wouldn’t actually hurt anyone here, but showing off a bit was completely fine.

The next moment, his entire body was enveloped by a cold, sinister aura, making the ambient light seem to dim.

Ji Liushuang had already been in a bad mood and wanted to just turn around and leave, but the two of them had acted far too quickly. Left with no choice, she stayed where she was and watched.

In an instant, Yuan Xin’s sword was right in front of Fu Qian.

The cold, sinister aura clinging to it almost turned the blade ink-black.

The very next moment, the tip of the sword was tightly clamped between two fingers, completely immobilized.

This?

Faced with this scene, not only Yuan Xin but all the onlookers stood frozen on the spot.

The power of that sword strike was absolutely at the Mid Tier level.

Seeing Yuan Xin freeze and then try to pull his sword back, Fu Qian thoughtfully released his fingers.

Although its speed and power were average, the aura of withering and decay attached to it was quite interesting.

Had it been anyone else, the flesh and blood of those two fingers would most likely have completely withered away.

”Not a bad strike.”

Fu Qian offered a word of praise, then turned to face Ji Liushuang.

”Why don’t you transfer over to Apocalypse instead?”

...

Completely caught off guard by Fu Qian’s suggestion, Ji Liushuang was rendered speechless for a moment. She looked down at his hand.

His fingers were completely unharmed, without the slightest change.

Without saying another word, she turned and walked away.

...

His confident sword strike had been effortlessly caught, and he had even been openly mocked.

Coupled with the exertion of delivering the strike, Yuan Xin’s face turned a vivid mix of pale and green.

Taking such a crushing blow right at the peak of his pride was a truly awful feeling.

Fu Qian, however, didn’t care what he thought at all. After dropping that highly sarcastic remark, he just walked away.

After leaving the Sword Comprehension Institute, he quickly contacted Lanaya.

”How are things on your end?”

Lanaya asked, getting straight to the point. She sounded like she was in a foul mood.

”Did you see Li Weixuan? I know it might be a bit difficult, but you have to verify it.”

”As long as Li Weixuan checks out, I’m out of here. I’m done putting up with this bullshit.”

”Things might not be that simple.”

Fu Qian finally spoke up only after she finished complaining.

”I think the scope of our investigation needs to be expanded.”

What?

On the other end of the line, Lanaya was clearly a bit stunned.

”This year’s batch of students is incredibly talented.”

Fu Qian recounted his brief exchange with Yuan Xin.

”That sword strike was indeed average in power, but if he refines it further, it wouldn’t be impossible for him to instantly kill a Tier 5.”

”Something like this actually happened...”

Lanaya remained silent for a long time before finally letting out a long sigh.

”This is going to be troublesome.”
