Chapter 63: Phoenix Sword
"What exactly is the mission?" Chen Yan frowned slightly.
Shen Tianhao clenched his fists slightly, and said as calmly as possible: "The Western Region Academy refused to reveal even a little bit, saying that this is the most confidential mission. Except for the dean of the Western Region Academy and a few elders, no one else knows about it."
"Most secret mission?"
Shen Tianhao explained: "Western Region Academy will issue tasks to students from time to time. Among them, your brother was assigned to perform one of the three secret tasks of Western Region Academy because of his extraordinary talent. It is said that these three secret tasks are mysterious and dangerous, and there are only a few students who can complete the tasks and return. But those who succeed have become one of the top masters of Guiyuan Continent."
"But they never revealed any information about the three secret missions."
At this point, Shen Tianhao raised his eyes and looked at Shen Yan, his face serious and solemn, and said solemnly: "So, Daddy needs to leave Nanxiao Country and go find your brother Shen Huai. If you don't want to stay in Nanxiao Country anymore, you can follow Uncle Tan Zhuang to the Central Region and wait for me."
Chen Yan was stunned for a moment, "Dad, where are you going to find Ah Huai?"
Shen Tianhao's eyes deepened slightly, and he pursed his lips.
"I will go to the Western Region College to find the dean and ask him to tell me the news. Then I will go look for Huai'er."
"Dad, are you sure?"
This question made Shen Tianhao speechless. If it were the old him, he could break into the Western Region College alone, put the sword to the neck of the dean of the Western Region College, and force him to tell the news.
But now——
He is like a useless person.
But he still has a trump card.
Chen Yan raised her hand to hold his arm, and said seriously: "Dad, for so many years, the Western Region Academy has not exposed the three confidential tasks. Even if you go to ask, you will not get an answer. If you don't get the news and anger the Western Region Academy, you will be in big trouble."
Shen Tianhao's heart tightened when he heard this.
Although he wanted Shen Huai to train alone and become stronger, he did not want him to lose his life during the difficult training.
He suddenly realized a problem.
Rather than wanting Yan'er and Huai'er to become strong, he seemed to hope that they could grow up safely and healthily.
For a moment, Shen Tianhao's nose felt sore and his eyes turned red in an instant.
Chen Yan had made up her mind at this time. She said, "Dad, do you believe me? I will do my best to enter the Western Region College and get the opportunity to perform confidential tasks, and then use this to find out the news about brother Huai. Although this process may take a long time, I also want to do my part."
He looked up at her in astonishment, his lips trembling slightly, and shook his head, "No, Yan'er, Daddy can't lose you again."
Chen Yan said seriously: "Dad, I got the Blood-sucking Pearl a long time ago, and then with the help of the masters, I embarked on the path of cultivation. Now I am not as weak as you think. Dad, let's look for Ah Huai together. You can use your information to look for him, and I can also go to the Western Region Academy to search secretly."
These words shocked Shen Tianhao so much that he was speechless.
After a long while, he asked.
"How did you get the Blood-sucking Pearl?"
"In Lingyan Forest..." Chen Yan told him something about the competition held by Qiu Tianzong in Lingyan Forest. She lied: "That master old man helped me kill Elder Yu of Qiu Tianzong, and then took the blood-sucking bead from the Soul-breaking Spirit Vine."
Shen Tianhao's face was solemn. He raised his hand and tightly grasped Shen Yan's arm, asking: "Who is that old man? Did he use you to do anything?"
Shen Tianhao had experienced the dangers of the world, and he was afraid that his daughter would be deceived.
"No."
"Then why did he help you?"
Chen Yan answered slowly, "Because I saved him, he promised to fulfill one of my requests, so I told him that I wanted to practice. He took me to find the Blood-sucking Pearl and helped me remove the sealed poison from the main spiritual bone, so I could practice spiritual power."
Shen Tianhao asked doubtfully: "Did he tell you who he is?"
Chen Yan: “No.”
Shen Tianhao still had doubts in his heart, and he couldn't help but say to Shen Yan: "There are many bad people in the world, Yan'er, you must not trust others easily."
Chen Yan uttered a light "hmm".
…
The two chatted for a while.
Most of the time, it was Shen Tianhao who told her something. Finally, he was silent for a moment, and looked at Shen Yan with complicated eyes: “Since you want to study at the Western Region College and find out about Huai’er, then Daddy can’t disagree.”
"Now that you are able to practice, Daddy will give you the gift of practice that has been belatedly waiting for ten years."
As he spoke, Shen Tianhao stood up and summoned a sword from the storage space. The scabbard was carved with patterns of a soaring phoenix, which was very delicate, and an unconcealable domineering aura came towards him.
Chen Yan was almost forced back by the sword's energy.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, she stood firm and blocked it with her own spiritual power.
Shen Tianhao raised the sword horizontally and placed it in front of Shen Yan.
"Yan Yan, go on."
Chen Yan raised her hands to catch the sword. The moment the sword landed in her palms, it seemed as if a force weighing two hundred kilograms pressed down on her.
Too heavy!
Chen Yan's expression changed slightly, and she almost couldn't catch the sword.
Who would have thought that this seemingly light sword could be so heavy!
Shen Tianhao said: “This is the Spirit Phoenix Sword.”
He added: "If you can pull it out, it proves that you are suitable to be a sword cultivator."
Chen Yan's face was slightly condensed. She freed one hand with great difficulty and slowly grasped the dark red hilt of the Spirit Phoenix Sword with her five fingers. She was not in a hurry to pull it out.
Instead, take a deep breath first.
Finally, she concentrated her spiritual power into her right hand and clasped the hilt of the sword with her fingers.
One pull!
Clang——
The sound of a sharp sword being unsheathed was as exciting as the tip of a sword cutting through ice.
Chen Yan drew out the long sword, the weight did not decrease, the sword tip flashed with cold light, and when it slightly turned sideways, a phantom of a phoenix flashed quickly, bringing out a flash of fire, and there seemed to be a sword wind shaking.
A hint of smile appeared in Shen Tianhao's eyes.
"Yan Yan, this Spirit Phoenix Sword really belongs to you! You are suitable to be a sword cultivator."
"Sword cultivation?" Chen Yan had thought about practicing sword before, but she didn't have a sword. Now, her father gave her a sword...
Shen Tianhao said solemnly: "Yan Yan, Daddy doesn't know if you have become a summoner now, but it is far from enough to practice only the summoning technique, because in many unknown places, you cannot summon strange beasts to fight for you, so you must practice martial arts yourself."
Chen Yan lowered his eyes and glanced at the Spirit Phoenix Sword in his hand. Although it was very heavy, its appearance looked as light and thin as other swords, and the blade was even sharper. This sword must be no ordinary item.
She slowly raised her eyes and promised, "Daddy, I will work hard to become a swordsman."
