I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them?

"Hold on!

"Just as Yin Hong was about to strike, Xu Yan spoke.

"Kid, it's too late for you to back out now!

"Yin Hong laughed menacingly.

"Who says I'm backing out?

"Xu Yan cast a contemptuous glance at him, "Tell me, do you carry Spirit Bills with you?

"Everyone was shocked.

They were about to duel to the death and he was asking about Spirit Bills?

What's his angle?

Yin Hong was somewhat taken aback and frowned, "Of course, I have Spirit Bills!

"Upon hearing this, Xu Yan was delighted.

"Quick, hand them over.

I fear that when the battle begins, if I hit you too hard, I might destroy your Spirit Bills.

That would be a great loss!

"Everyone: ...

Yin Hong's face turned red with rage, "Impudent fool, how dare you insult me!

"He unfurled the folding fan in his hand, ready to strike.

But Xu Yan said, "You are a Great Grandmaster.

You must have at least hundreds of thousands of Spirit Bills, right?

It would be such a waste to destroy them.

Consider them as the stake for our bet.

Hand them over quickly.

Don't waste time.

"Seeing Yin Hong trembling with rage and making no move to retrieve his Spirit Bills, Xu Yan added, "If you don't bring out your Spirit Bills, I'll call off the bet.

Let's see if you dare to attack me then!

"Yin Hong grit his teeth in anger.

If Xu Yan were to cancel the bet, how could he justify killing this insolent youth on the spot?

Given his relationship with Xie Lingfeng, he could hide in the Seven-star Study Palace for a few days.

Once a Great Grandmaster from Sword Dao Cliff arrives, he would lose his chance for revenge.

With this in mind, he pulled out a small bag.

"Take it!

"He threw the bag down.

Xu Yan caught it and opened it to find a spiritual medicine and a stack of Spirit Bills.

"For a Great Grandmaster, you are really poor!

What a waste!

Even the Grandmasters I've killed were richer than you!

"Xu Yan was dissatisfied and began to curse.

This was his first time attempting to kill a Great Grandmaster.

He had hoped for a significant gain.

But sadly, he ended up with a deadbeat!

The onlookers fell silent.

Just how poor are you?

The corner of Xie Lingfeng's mouth twitched.

Now it was clear why Xu Yan had escorted Du Yuying and why he had sought free benefits at the Wushuang Pavilion – because he was broke!

As someone from the borderlands, where would he get Spirit Crystals?

Damn it!

Yin Hong was ready to explode with rage.

His aura started to fluctuate as he shouted at Xu Yan, "If you manage to kill me, everything on Canglan Island is yours.

The Dean of Discipline and everyone else here can bear witness!

"Yin Hong was ready to risk it all to kill Xu Yan.

If he did not kill Xu Yan today, he felt he might explode with frustration!

Xu Yan's eyes lit up.

He turned to Xie Lingfeng and asked, "Brother Xie, is Canglan Island wealthy?

"Xie Lingfeng furrowed his brows.

Shaking his head, he said, "I've never heard of Canglan Island.

"He turned to ask Hu Shan, "Have you heard of it?

"Hu Shan also shook his head.

Yin Hong: ...

At this moment, Du Yuying spoke up, "The master of Canglan Island is quite wealthy.

He probably has millions of Spirit Crystals.

"As the pride of Sword Dao Cliff, Xie Lingfeng's social circle was simply too high.

It's only normal for him not to know about Canglan Island, a mere power in Dayue Kingdom.

Xu Yan's spirits lifted immediately, "Great, after I defeat you, Canglan Island will be mine!

"He took a few steps forward and turned back to Xie Lingfeng, speaking solemnly, "Brother Xie, watch closely.

Today, I will provide you with a demonstration of crossing boundaries to kill an enemy.

"Let everyone here witness how Xu Yan, the Sword God, crushes a Great Grandmaster with a single palm!

"Yin Hong's eyes flashed menacingly.

Despite seething with anger, he didn't underestimate his opponent in the slightest.

Anyone who dared to assert that they could kill a Great Grandmaster with just a palm strike undoubtedly had confidence in their abilities.

Yin Hong believed that Xu Yan's bold claims stemmed from his lack of understanding about the full strengths of a Great Grandmaster!

For him, this was an opportunity!

His face turned savage, and his aura coalesced around him.

This strike would be his all-out attack, aiming to slay the detestable boy once and for all!

"Prepare to die!

"Boom!

In mid-air, a raging torrent formed, akin to an impending apocalypse.

The terrifying pressure spread far and wide.

The onlookers turned deathly white.

Was this the might of a Great Grandmaster?!

Du Yuying's eyes widened as she tightly clasped her hands together, her gaze anxiously locked onto the young man.

The lady in white was also observing with an unblinking expression.

Xie Lingfeng was solemn, his hand subconsciously resting on the hilt of his sword.

Roar!

The roar of a dragon echoed.

A golden giant dragon surged upwards, clashing with the descending torrent.

Its imposing aura was as if it could make all living things bow down.

There also seemed to be an infinite rage surging amidst the dragon's might.

The whole world seemed to lose its color!

The golden dragon, like a real True Dragon descending upon the world, carried with it an terrifying aura and frightening rage.

Boom!

The torrent collapsed and retreated.

"Not good!

"Yin Hong's pupils contracted, filled with terror.

He wanted to evade, but it seemed like he was suppressed by a force, and just used up all his energy in his attack, leaving him completely powerless at the moment.

He could only watch the Golden Giant Dragon charge towards him, the terrifying force approaching, and the scent of death invading his consciousness.

Bang!

In the eyes of the crowd, Yin Hong, who was mid-air, exploded.

The Golden Giant Dragon's attack destroyed Yin Hong, a Great Grandmaster, right on the spot, in full view of everyone.

The shards of his body scattered in all directions.

Roar!

Another golden dragon flew out, spinning and crushing in mid-air, its fiery aura spreading everywhere.

The fragments of the exploded body were instantly crushed into ashes and disappeared with the wind.

Silence!

Outside the Seven-Star Study Palace's Repository, it was quiet and silent.

All the students of the Seven-Star Study Palace, as well as the instructors, were wide-eyed, mouths agape, and unable to snap out of their shock.

Fu Yuntian's hand was on his own beard, and he was so dumbfounded that he had actually plucked a strand of beard without even noticing.

Xu Yan, he really exploded a Great Grandmaster with just one strike!

"I'm stronger than Yin Hong, much stronger.

He couldn't explode me with one attack...

at least it would take more than ten?

"Such a thought popped into Fu Yuntian's mind.

He was completely numb.

Xie Lingfeng's hands were slightly trembling, he knew Xu Yan didn't boast, but when the scene of him exploding a Great Grandmaster with just one attack occurred, he was still indescribably shocked.

Du Yuying was staring at the young man, never shifting her gaze for a moment.

This was the boy who escorted her back to Prince Du's residence.

Today, he exploded a Great Grandmaster with one attack at the Seven-Star Study Palace, something unprecedented!

The maiden in white had an indescribable color in her eyes, seemingly filled with a hint of tenderness.

Xu Yan sighed.

He was indeed too weak, much weaker than his master.

Back in the days, his master directly turned a Great Grandmaster into ashes with a single strike.

Moreover, that Great Grandmaster was stronger than Yin Hong.

However, a Great Grandmaster is a Great Grandmaster after all.

His Descending Dragon Palm strike had almost reached its peak power!

"A Great Grandmaster is indeed worthy of his title, so difficult to kill.

I almost used up all my strength in one strike just to explode him into several pieces!

"Xu Yan expressed with regret.

Crowd: ...

Please stop speaking, my damn heart can't bear this stimulation anymore!

"Dean, there's no need for me to obey the rule anymore, right?

"Xu Yan looked at the dazed Fu Yuntian and asked.

"Young friend, have you had a breakthrough in strength?

"Fu Yun Tian wore a bitter smile on his face.

A few days ago, Xu Yan didn't have this incredible strength.

"Exactly!

"Xu Yan nodded.

"No wonder!

"Fu Yuntian took a deep breath and said solemnly, "The theories you discussed with that Martial Arts Scholar that day, they weren't just random bluffs, were they?

""Of course not.

"Xu Yan gave him a disdainful look.

This was true Martial Arts, how could it be made up?

"Brother Xie, let's go.

We'll find a place to hang out.

"Xu Yan said cheerfully.

After destroying Yin Hong, the Great Grandmaster, and shocking the Seven-Star Study Palace, plus getting a significant amount of Spirit Crystals into his account, he could afford to spend a bit lavishly to express gratitude to Xie Lingfeng.

After all, his reputation was incredibly useful!

"Okay!

"A smile appeared on Xie Lingfeng's face, as he could ask Xu Yan for guidance on Sword Dao and practice in the Innate Realm.

"Young Master Xu, I know a quiet and elegant place in Seven-Star City that would be perfect for catching up without any disturbances.

Would that be alright?

"Du Yuying, who had now taken off her veil revealing her stunning face, suggested.

Xu Yan hesitated slightly.

After all, he wasn't very familiar with Du Yuying, despite escorting her on a journey.

If they weren't close, they just weren't!

"Yuying will be the one hosting, as a way to thank Young Master Xu for the escort that day.

"Du Yuying added.

"Well, okay then.

"Xu Yan nodded in agreement.

Then he said, "By the way, Miss Du, you know where Canglan Island is, right?

Tell me its location, that place is mine now.

""No problem.

"Du Yuying nodded.

"Cui'er, you go and make arrangements, book that place.

"He turned around and instructed Cui'er.

"Yes, Miss!

"Cui'er ran off enthusiastically.
