  "With external assistance? Can energy crystals help achieve mastery of the sword?"

  "Yes, it is precisely because of the existence of energy crystals that the swordsmanship in this world has flourished rapidly, and the number of sword masters has increased dramatically, giving birth to a Sword Saint. During its heyday, the power of the Sword Saint once suppressed imperial authority, ushering in an era where swordsmanship was supreme. Everyone took pride in practicing swordsmanship and revered it as an honor. Otherwise, even the strongest swordsman or sword master would be unable to withstand the tens of thousands of troops that emperors and nobles could mobilize. Even during ancient times, when there were only a handful of exceptional sword masters who could single-handedly defeat hundreds of people, they would still be overwhelmed by an army of thousands, leaving no remains."

  Wang Ting slightly furrowed his brow, this result was vastly different from what he had expected, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

  Relying on external forces to become a swordsman has already fallen to a lower level.

  In his world, the pinnacle of swordsmanship was not invincible, some bio-people, modified people, and mechanical people had combat power beyond him. If he was willing to use this method, he would have possessed the power equivalent to a great master of swordsmanship in this world long ago. Only, this way... did not match his swordsmanship.

  What he seeks is a method to stimulate all the potential in human body, making people transform thoroughly and complete their own transformation, life's leap, evolving into a higher level.

  "We are now discussing these, it's too early to say whether we can complete the task and obtain energy crystals. Even if we get them, it's not necessarily possible to refine our skills and become a sword master. Energy crystals aren't as simple as imagined, many people who ingest them lose control of the energy, causing it to disperse throughout their body and leading to self-destruction. Even those who use medicinal power and energy crystals together may still waste this precious resource because they can't merge the energy with the crystal's energy. Therefore, even if the great God-King of the Sword bestows his divine favor, only one in a hundred swordsmen in this world may be able to advance to become a true swordsman."

  Wang Ting nodded and didn't continue asking questions.

  He is now just a high-ranking martial artist and not even an official swordsman. To put it in Xi Ruojian's words, it's indeed a bit too early.

  "Jian, are you eating here?"

  As Wang Ting was lost in thought, a somewhat gentle voice came from beside him.

  "Northern boundary scholar, are you also here for a meal?"

  Xi Ru Jian stood up and said with a hint of surprise in his tone.

  "I've said it before, we've already graduated for two years and have become college instructors, there's no need to call me senior anymore, just call me Wu Ya."

  The young man known as Bei Wuyi, who looked like he was also in his twenty-four or five years old, similar to Xi Ruojian, belonged to the type of sunny and handsome men. Especially with that warm and gentle smile on his face, it was believed to have a lethal charm for any naive and young woman.

  "Is this with... and having dinner with this student?"

  "This is Wang Ting, one of the genius students from our Bi Shui City. Wang Ting, this is Bei Wu Ya senior, one of the most outstanding graduates of our 63rd class, who is now a direct disciple of our Grandmaster and also serves as a high-level instructor at our Xuan Zhong High-Level Swordsmanship Academy..."

  "Wang Tingxue, I've heard of you. Your great name has already spread throughout half of the Xuanji High-Level Swordsmen Academy, and many people are talking about it."

  "Good."

  The relationship between this young man and Xi Ruojian is obviously unusual, and Wang Ting nodded.

  However, his attitude made Beiwu Ya feel slightly dissatisfied in her heart. With his identity, being able to proactively greet a student was already a great honor for that student, yet the other party's attitude was unexpectedly so cold... On the surface, he still wore a warm smile: "Being able to accept a mid-tier swordsman's duel challenge is a kind of great courage, I believe that in the upcoming battle, Wang Ting student will definitely have a good performance, at that time I will certainly go and watch."

  "Of course, Wang Ting is the first genius among the several middle-level colleges in our Bishui City who emerged from this assessment. He will definitely not disappoint Beiwu Ya senior later on."

  Xi Ruojian didn't hear anything unusual, but Wang Ting did understand.

  Bei Wuyue said that he had the courage to accept Gong Sunzhu's challenge, but in fact, he was probably secretly mocking him for being reckless and underestimating his own abilities.

  But he naturally wouldn't say these words out loud.

  Face is not something that can be regained with just a few words, but rather it relies on one's own abilities.

  "Jian, a few of my fellow disciples are in the next private room, why don't you come over with me and let everyone get to know each other?"

  "This..."

  Xi Ruojian indeed had some thoughts in his heart.

  Xuanzhong Advanced Swordsman Academy Dean Shang Ming, not only is he a powerful high-ranking swordsman himself, but also holds the title of Marquis conferred by the royal family. In the entire kingdom, there are only a handful of Dukes, making Marquises almost the highest noble rank outside the palace. Moreover, Dean Shang has held his position for twenty years, with disciples and students spread throughout the Taixuan Kingdom's provinces. It would not be an exaggeration to say that his influence is boundless. If she could enter the circle of Dean Shang's disciples and get acquainted with them, it would greatly help her rise in status within the Xuefeng family.

  But after all, she came with Wang Ting for dinner today...

  Bei Wu Ya seemed to have seen through Xi Ruo Jian's thoughts, and a faint smile appeared on his face as he said to Wang Ting: "Wang Ting student, I don't know if I can borrow Xi Ruo Jian teacher for a while? To show my apology, this meal is on me today."

  Wang Ting did not respond to Bei Wuyue's words, he seemed to have already seen through Xi Ruojian's thoughts, and nodded slightly: "Please proceed, Instructor Xi."

  Seeing Wang Ting nod, Xi Ruojian finally put down his heart and said: "Wang Ting, from now on, it's up to yourself to train hard. The duel is only three days away, can't be slack."

  "I will."

  Xi Ru nodded slightly and followed Bei Wuyue to a luxurious private room deep in the side hall.

  Bei Wu Ya's face showed a hint of surprise at Xi Ruo Jian's words.

  According to her words, it seems that there is a battle between Wang Ting and Gong Sun Zan?

  However, he didn't think deeply about it. A high-ranking martial artist, a high-ranking martial artist from a wealthy merchant background, is neither a noble nor a talented swordsman, and fundamentally cannot move in the same circle as them. He wouldn't spend too much effort on such a small person.

  After Wang Ting finished eating, he didn't waste any more time in the cafeteria. He stood up and walked outside.

  However, just as he was about to leave the hall, three figures suddenly appeared at the entrance, each wearing the uniform of a core student.

  Especially among the three, the young man who was the first to speak up was none other than Gong Sun Su, a mid-tier swordsman who had clashed with Wang Ting over Hailin'er and had decided to engage in a public duel three days later.

  "Huh?"

  Seeing Wang Ting walking in front of him, Gong Sun Wu slightly froze for a moment.

  For this arrogant and overbearing high-ranking warrior, the commoner student who accepted his challenge as a mid-tier swordsman had a deep-seated disdain.

  Seeing him, he didn't hide his inner thoughts at all, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Insignificant!"

  After finishing speaking, she didn't look at Wang Ting again, as if looking at him one more time would tarnish her own eyes.

  "Gongsun Xuechang, is this little brat daring to challenge me?"

  "How dare you show up in a place where our Gong Sun Xue Chang is present? Is this a place where a lowly person like you can come? Scram!"

  The two attendants with formal swordsman training on either side confirmed the identity of Wang Ting, and then shouted loudly, their faces stern.

  His loud shout instantly attracted a lot of people. Many students sitting in the classroom who could see this direction turned their eyes over here.

  Wang Ting was too lazy to bother with the three of them and didn't even stop in his tracks, heading straight out towards the side hall.

  Seeing this scene, a formal swordsman opposite Wang Tingzheng had a hint of disdain at the corner of his mouth. He didn't go to the side hall anymore and stood at the exit of the side hall, blocking the exit, facing Wang Tingzheng directly, forcing Wang Tingzheng who was about to leave to stop in his tracks.

  "Excuse me, you're blocking the way."

  "Road? Have I blocked the road? Isn't there a road here? Can't you just crawl under my crotch and pass through? The road is right in front of us, are we going or not? Hahaha..."

  Another formal swordsman was about to chime in with a few mocking words, but before his companion's loud laughter had even finished, Wang Ting had already made his move.

  "Hmm!"

  In the instant he stepped out, his entire person seemed to have transformed into a fleeting shadow.

  Right before his eyes, the formal swordsman who had not expected Wang Ting to make a move, did not even have time to react, when a terrifying massive force suddenly erupted on his chest. Accompanied by a faint cracking of bones, a stream of scarlet blood spurted out from his mouth. His entire body was like a cannonball, flying out of the side hall's door at the fastest speed, and crashed into a wall about 5-6 meters away.

  "Boom!"

  Wall shock.

  The entire dining hall was as if a muffled thunder had sounded.

  At the place where he hit, a large number of fine cracks appeared directly, and white powder fell down from the top of the wall with a rustling sound.
