These words struck a chord with Lü Qiu Zheng.

However, even the best teacher cannot make a student improve significantly in just a few days, let alone someone who is blind.

"Alright."

Considering that he was the dean's personal disciple, Lu Qiu Zheng nodded, even though the chances were slim.

"If Young Master Yan can greatly increase the strength of my two dull-witted children and give them a chance to enter the Holy Capital Academy, I am willing to give you the Exquisite Lotus. But if not, please do not force me."

"good."

The two made a deal.

The next day

In the training ground of Luqiu Mansion

Luqiu Qiming and Luqiu Shiyi were already waiting there.

Lu Qiuzheng and his men also came to watch, wanting to see just how skilled the dean's personally taught disciple was.

Shang Yanting arrived late with Jia Xitong. He stood on the training ground and said to the two in front of him, "Use your best movement techniques to attack me."

"Dear host, are you serious?"

Jia Xitong was taken aback upon hearing this.

Although she had great faith in Shang Yanting's abilities, his cultivation had regressed to the Martial Realm, and he was blind.

She was a little worried because the two opponents were at the mid-stage of martial arts mastery.

"It's nothing."

In fact, after losing his sight, his other senses became extremely sensitive. His true energy dispersed outwards, and when it encountered an obstacle, it bounced back, forming the image of that object in his mind.

If Jia Xitong knew, he would definitely blurt out "Bat Radar".

Luqiu Qiming and Luqiu Shiyi exchanged a glance, then charged toward him with their swords.

They also wanted to see where they fell short of the academy's students.

On the training ground

All that could be seen was Shang Yanting's constantly dodging afterimages, and the crisp sound of swords clashing could be heard.

Shang Yanting had already studied his body to the extreme.

Although the Luqiu family was a family of weapon casters, they also had their own mental and physical techniques. As Shang Yanting dodged, the trajectory of their attacks had already appeared in his mind.

A long sword thrust at him, but Shang Yanting caught the blade between two fingers, “using the strength of his waist to drive the strength of his abdomen, swinging his arm rather than his wrist.”

After saying that, he changed his hand gesture and instantly deflected the other party's longsword.

From the side, a long whip came flying.

Shang Yanting grabbed her and pulled hard. The little girl opposite him was lifted into the air and flew towards Shang Yanting.

"ah!"

A soft cry escaped her lips.

Here it comes!

As Jia Xitong watched her graceful parabola as she soared through the air, images of a hero rescuing a damsel in distress and embracing his beloved flashed through his mind.

The onlookers thought so too, but Shang Yanting never played by the rules.

He shifted to the side and back, causing Luqiu Shiyi to fall flat on his face.

"Although the whip is light and agile, your wrist has probably been injured, so your use is not smooth and coherent, it has form but no power."

As soon as Shang Yanting finished speaking, Lu Qiuzheng's eyes widened.

To be honest, Shi Yi's talent surpasses Qi Ming's, and he has always had high hopes for his daughter. However, two years ago, Lu Qiu Shi Yi was injured by a magical beast during a trial. Although the injury has long since healed, her wrist was left with sequelae.

I didn't expect Yan Qing to be able to figure this out.

Lu Qiuzheng finally believed that his status as a direct disciple of the Dean of Shengdu Academy was well-deserved.

“Young Master Yan, my daughter does indeed have a wrist ailment, but we have been searching for a good doctor without success. We do not know what to do.”

"If you can't find a good doctor, you can try a different weapon."

Shang Yanting said unhurriedly, "Miss Luqiu is strong and powerful, with a very solid foundation in martial arts. I personally believe that the Eight-Petaled Golden Melon Hammer is very suitable for her to practice."

"This, this..."

What strength and power, what eight-petaled golden mace.

"I am but a woman..."

Luqiu Zheng couldn't help but remind her, "It's not really appropriate for a little girl to be wielding such a big iron hammer."

"Cultivators are only distinguished by their strength, not by gender."

Shang Yanting said calmly, "Moreover, those who are skilled in using the Eight-Petaled Golden Gourd Hammer are incredibly powerful and fierce, capable of overcoming ten techniques with sheer force."

"this……"

Upon hearing this, Lüqiu Zheng hesitated for a moment before looking at Lüqiu Shiyi.

“Father, your daughter thinks you are right.”

Luqiu Shiyi got up from the ground and said, "As the saying goes, there are no men or women on the path of cultivation. If someone really wants to kill my daughter, they will not care whether she is a man or a woman, nor will they care whether my daughter's whip looks good or not."

One day, she and her brother will have to support the Luqiu family.

"Father, please let your daughter give it a try!"

Oh my god!

On the very first day of your personal guidance, the host has made this delicate girl swing a sledgehammer!

Jia Xitong watched the whole thing from the side, and her expression changed from =▽= to OoO!!

However, Shang Yanting was truly remarkable. In addition to changing their weapons, he also found no fewer than seven flaws in each of them.

After making the improvements, the two quickly practiced the modified moves.

Not only were the moves fluid, but they even made up for the two inherent weaknesses in movement techniques.

genius!

Lu Qiu Zheng finally saw what a true genius was!

No wonder the other party could become the dean's personal disciple, while his two children couldn't even get close to the door.

His eyes widened, dispelling his doubts about whether Shang Yanting could improve his children's abilities in a short period of time.

"Thank you for your guidance, Young Master Yan."

"Young Master Yan is so learned and talented, why don't we let my two children become your students?"

After all, even if he personally taught him, it would be impossible for him to see so many problems. Lu Qiu Zheng even considered having his children become his students.

"The clan leader should be cautious."

"I am but a disciple. If your son or daughter were to become my student, under what name should they enter the academy?"

Shang Yanting refused with reason and evidence, saying, "There are plenty of learned teachers in the academy. The four peak masters are already at the Martial Grandmaster level, and the dean is even at the Martial King level. Wouldn't it be better to try to become their disciple?"

The clan chief was tempted by what he said.

It's as if their own children could actually become their personal disciples.

"Then I'll trouble Young Master Yan to discipline the two of them properly these next few days. Once half a month has passed, I will certainly present the Linglong Lotus to you with both hands."

Luqiu Zheng responded.

Even the dean couldn't be so knowledgeable about all the different movement techniques that he could provide guidance to this extent. In the future, he would deeply regret his decision.

##

Having received the other party's promise, Jia Xitong felt somewhat relieved.

Back in her room, she finally couldn't hold back for a whole day before saying, "Host, you were really amazing today. You left that clan leader completely speechless."

After saying that, she became a little worried, "But it's just a verbal promise. What if Lu Qiu Zheng goes back on his word after you've taught him for half a month?"

Shang Yanting stroked the raccoon's smooth fur. "The Luqiu family are merchants, so they should know that integrity is fundamental. Besides, he wants to enter the Holy Capital Academy, so naturally he has to curry favor with me."

If he really goes back on his word...

The Luqiu family is just a mere craftsman; they can be wiped out.

"oh!"

Jia Xitong nodded upon hearing this, "Then as long as there are no unexpected events, all we need to do is find the Spirit Grass!"

At this point, she excitedly jumped on his lap, "I feel like my host will regain his sight soon!"

Shang Yanting felt Jia Xitong's excitement on his lap, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. "Mm."
