The fight between the master and disciple attracted a large crowd. Even the senior brothers and sisters who were discussing matters in the Heavenly Sword Hall came out to watch the battle. They were all amazed by Bai Yao's current strength, after all, she had grown too fast, far exceeding everyone's expectations.
Ye Qingyun looked at his master and disciple on the training ground and smiled, "Junior Brother Xiao has taught a good disciple. At the Nascent Soul stage at the age of fourteen, he will surely become a pillar of our Heavenly Sword Sect in the future!"
Liu Jiantang frowned. "What did Junior Brother Xiao make Junior Nephew Bai Yao go through? Her progress is so fast. I guess no one among her peers can match her."
Even the usually taciturn Shen Huairu couldn't help but nod in praise, saying, "Indeed, he's quite good; the younger generation is truly formidable."
The disciples following behind them were dumbfounded. They were all top performers in this sect martial arts competition. Originally, they only regarded Li Qianyun, the eldest disciple of the Discipline Hall, as their opponent. But after seeing Bai Yao's strength, they looked at each other and fell silent.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yuhan, who was fighting Bai Yao, was secretly shocked. Although Bai Yao was not his match yet, the girl's fighting performance was too good. She seemed to have a natural fighting instinct, as sharp as a wild beast.
Moreover, once Bai Yao enters battle mode, she is no longer your sweet little darling. She shows no mercy when she fights, and every move is aimed at vital points. This is a good thing, as it shows that she takes every battle seriously.
Xiao Yuhan wasn't going to really fight her; he just wanted to force her to show her full strength.
Bai Yao has always practiced Xiao Yuhan's self-created technique, the "Azure Lotus Sword Art." In addition, she practiced the "Blood King Scripture" after arriving in the Southern Frontier. Furthermore, the fire-elemental holy phoenix within her body has brought together the Dao, demon, and monster techniques, which is consistent with the original work, although these powers are insignificant compared to the power she will awaken in the future.
However, she is quite talented to be able to integrate the three elements. In the end, this little girl even forced Xiao Yuhan to use his immortal sword to deal with her, which shows that she has made great progress.
After the competition, Xiao Yuhan stepped forward and ruffled Bai Yao's hair, "You brat, did you try to kill your master by attacking so ruthlessly?"
Bai Yao stuck out her tongue. "How could Yao'er possibly beat Master? If I don't go all out, wouldn't that be very disrespectful to you?"
Xiao Yuhan pondered for a moment, a trace of worry arising in his heart. After all, he had sensed that this girl's killing intent was too strong when they fought before. This couldn't go on. On the battlefield, this might be a good thing for her, but now that they were back, she had to live like a normal person.
"Girl, you need to rein in your murderous aura. From today until the martial arts competition begins, you are not allowed to touch a sword. When you have nothing to do, come with me to drink tea and go fishing to temper your temperament."
Bai Yao pouted and nodded in agreement.
At this moment, the sect leader walked over and said, "Junior Brother Xiao, with Bai Yao's current strength, she is the undisputed winner of this sect martial arts competition."
Xiao Yuhan said modestly, "This little girl's cultivation is insignificant. There are always people more capable than her in this world. I think Junior Nephew Lu Yuan is quite good."
As she spoke, Xiao Yuhan looked at the slightly chubby man next to Ye Qingyun. This man had been in the Heavenly Sword Sect for many years. Although he looked young, he was actually quite old. After all, cultivators don't look old. This kid had good cultivation, at the seventh level of the Nascent Soul Realm, and was considered one of the best among the second-generation disciples of the sect.
The chubby boy, Lu Yuan, stepped forward with a smile and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Uncle-Master Xiao!"
Xiao Yuhan had a deep impression of him. Last night, when they were drinking, this chubby guy was cunning and used all sorts of tricks to sell alcohol. He ended up being the last one standing at the table. When he saw Xiao Yuhan greeting him, he just nodded in response.
At this moment, Liu Jiantang's competitive spirit arose, and he immediately patted his disciple Zuo Huaixin on the shoulder, "Although my disciple is not as skilled as my nephew Bai Yao, he has been proficient in Taoist magic and arts since childhood, and his swordsmanship is also a true inheritance from me. He will definitely be able to compete with my nephew Bai Yao."
The man in white was very gentle and refined, with the appearance of a gentleman. Xiao Yuhan remembered this Zuo Huaixin. This boy had grown up on the mountain since childhood and had never come down the mountain. He was very gentle and was the most outstanding disciple of Senior Brother Liu Jiantang. However, this boy never liked to fight with others. Although he had received the true teachings of Senior Brother Liu, his personality was completely opposite to that of Senior Brother Liu.
"Greetings, Uncle-Master Xiao!"
Xiao Yuhan nodded in acknowledgment. Then, turning her head, she noticed that Senior Sister Shen's eldest disciple, Ai Yue, was no longer by her side. Upon closer inspection, she realized that Ai Yue had somehow appeared in front of Bai Yao, hugging her and rubbing against her. "Junior Sister Bai Yao, your green dress looks so beautiful today. You're so pretty and have such a great sense of style. If I were a man, I would definitely marry you!"
Bai Yao blushed a little, "Senior Sister Ai Yue, stop fooling around, all the senior uncles and aunts are here!"
"Hehehe, does that mean that Senior Sister Bai Yao can cause trouble for you just because they're not around?"
Ai Yue is the kind of girl whose personality is completely opposite to her master's. Although Senior Sister Shen is supposed to be a cold beauty, this girl is like a crazy girl and often does things that don't follow the rules.
As expected, Senior Sister Shen Huairu frowned and said angrily, "Yue'er, go back and copy the Disciple's Rules a hundred times today."
Upon hearing this, Ai Yue knew that her master was angry. She mumbled and obediently returned to her master's side, even hiding behind Shen Huairu and making a face at Bai Yao.
Xiao Yuhan quickly smiled and said, "Your fellow disciples are all quite good. Yao'er is still young and lacks experience in the martial world. Consider this conference as a learning experience for her."
