"Have you ever thought about how it is possible for Mu Hanyan, a fifth-level swordsman, to pass the test of the temple beast soul so easily? Unless he knows some secret method of taming beasts and has some restraint on the temple beast soul, coupled with his own strength, it is possible to do it. Perhaps this secret method of taming beasts cannot control the temple beast soul, but it should be very possible to provoke him." Jiang Qiling repeated Jiang Yunhe's words, but concealed the innate magical power of divine protection and replaced it with the secret method of taming beasts.
"It is indeed Mu Hanyan, it is indeed Mu Hanyan. Not only did he harm Ping An, but he also harmed our entire Qiu family. Now he has also harmed my third uncle. I will not let him go, I will never let him go." Qiu Zizhong suddenly realized and gnashed his teeth in hatred.
The smile in Jiang Qiling's eyes became even colder: Although the Qiu family is no longer of any use, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse after all, so let them make some use of their spare energy.
…
Battle Dragon Academy, Battle Dragon Hall.
"You want to learn swordsmithing? That's great! This is Nie Fangsheng, Longyan Academy's number one swordsmith. You should learn swordsmithing from him." Long Congyuan pointed to a burly, muscular man and said to Mu Hanyan. Although he was saying something good, his tone was extremely cold.
"Disciple greets Master Nie." Mu Hanyan said to Nie Fangsheng with disciple etiquette.
As the saying goes, a capable person is a teacher. Although her relationship with Gong Hongru wasn't that of a master and disciple, Mu Hanyan didn't dare to treat Nie Fangsheng with disrespect. Furthermore, seeing Nie Fangsheng's steely build and his face charcoal-blackened from sword-forging, he more closely matched Mu Hanyan's image of a swordsmith, so she didn't dare to neglect him.
Ling Baobao beside him also bowed lazily. He wanted to learn everything anyway, but it was useless to learn anything, so he chose to learn sword-making with Mu Hanyan first.
"No need to be so polite. I don't care how high your cultivation level is or how great your achievements have been in the past. If you follow me to learn the art of sword-making, I will treat you as my disciple and treat you the same as others." Nie Fangsheng said to Mu Hanyan in a buzzing voice.
As for Ling Baobao, seeing his lazy look, Nie Fangsheng simply ignored him.
"Yes, disciple has taken note of it." Mu Hanyan nodded.
Nie Fangsheng in front of her didn't look very strong, at most he was a fifth-level swordsman, about the same as her, but he had his own expertise and the pride of a swordsmith.
"Okay, go ahead." Then, Long Congyuan briefly introduced several other mentors to Mu Hanyan, waved his hand, and said impatiently.
"Come to the sword-making hall in the afternoon and learn the art of sword-making from me." Nie Fangsheng also said.
"Yes, Master Dean, Master Nie." Mu Hanyan and others retreated.
"It's strange. It seems to me that Old Man Long doesn't welcome us." After Ling Baobao came to the Holy Court Continent, he made a living by cheating and deceiving people most of the time. For example, he did fortune-telling, practicing medicine, and treating infertility. He had a good eye.
"To be honest, there are probably not many instructors in the entire Longyan College who would welcome you." Tan Yu said with a wry smile.
"Why?" Ling Baobao asked.
"It's very simple. Master's reputation is so great that everyone is afraid of getting into trouble. Also, Qiu Ping'an cheated in the enrollment election and almost hid it from the eyes of all the tutors. Tutor Yu and Tutor Tian almost got into a fight over who would accept him as their apprentice. In the end, the truth was revealed and all the tutors lost face. Master clearly saw that he was cheating, but he didn't say it earlier. He had to wait until Tutor Yu and Tutor Tian were about to fight before he told them. Naturally, they felt resentful." Tan Yu explained.
"It was Qiu Ping'an who deceived them, so why is it all blamed on me?" Mu Hanyan said depressedly. This is a big blame, and I can't bear it.
"Uh...Qiu Ping'an has been taught a lesson." said Tan Yu.
"That's true." Mu Hanyan nodded. Not only did Qiu Ping'an suffer a lesson, but the entire Qiu family also suffered with him. It seemed that he had to bear the blame.
"Forget it, let's not think about it. We are here to practice anyway, not to please others." Mu Hanyan would not seek trouble and said casually.
"That's right. I'm willing to come to the Zhanlong branch to learn sword-making because I'm giving them face. It's the blessing they've cultivated for several lifetimes. Yet they still dare to look at me in disdain. Be careful or I'll smash their hall." Ling Baobao said angrily.
"Do you have that ability?" Ling Baobao looked at him and said contemptuously.
A disciple of the third rank of swordsman was probably the first of its kind at Longyan Academy, and it was a huge shame.
"I don't have what you have, but I do. Even if I don't have it now, I will definitely have it in the future." Ling Baobao looked at Mu Hanyan in a rogue manner.
"Why should I help you?" Mu Hanyan asked. Ling Baobao's words were flattering invisibly, and it sounded good.
"You'll know when you start learning sword-making. You'll definitely be willing to help me then." Ling Baobao said confidently.
In the morning, disciples from each academy would pay their respects to their instructors. Formal study and practice would not begin until the afternoon. Mu Hanyan and the others had nothing to do, so they wandered around the academy.
Just like yesterday, when they saw Mu Hanyan, all the academy disciples retreated and avoided her as if she were the plague.
"It doesn't make sense. The news that you passed the Beast Soul Tower trial should have spread. Why are they still hiding so far away?" Ling Baobao said curiously.
Everyone avoided Mu Hanyan yesterday, and he could guess the reason. Because of Qiu Ping'an, Mu Hanyan not only offended the powerful Qiu family members in the academy, but also offended Jiang Qiling. So no one wanted to get too close to Mu Hanyan, for fear of being implicated.
But Mu Hanyan has now passed the trial of the Beast Soul Tower and made a stunning debut again, while Qiu Yongcheng, the Qiu family's greatest support in Longyan College, has become a disabled person. His enemy spirit against Mu Hanyan is much weaker. Even if everyone still has concerns, they should not avoid Mu Hanyan like the plague.
"I'll go ask." Tan Yu said as he walked away.
Several young men wearing the sword robes of outer court disciples were looking over here from afar. Their status was too low to attract other people's attention, so they didn't have so many concerns.
Tan Yu apparently talked to those people for a few words and soon came back.
"What's going on?" Mu Hanyan asked.
"Master, your reputation is even worse now." Tan Yu hesitated for a moment, but still said with a bitter face.
"What's wrong?" Mu Hanyan asked in confusion.
"The disciples in the academy are all saying that the reason you were able to pass the trial so easily is that you learned some secret beast-taming technique, which happened to suppress the beast spirit guarding the temple. Plus, your own strength is not bad, so it was so easy." Tan Yu replied.
"Well, that does make some sense, but what does it have to do with my reputation?" Mu Hanyan asked. Although the rumor wasn't entirely accurate, it was somewhat close to the truth. However, it didn't seem to have anything to do with her reputation.
