The martial artist naturally left.
As Li Xuan ascended the steps, he passed by the martial artist, then stood from afar, respectfully clasped his fists, and said, "Pri Minister, Li Xuan has co as agreed."
Yan Fujing sniffed and looked at his disheveled appearance, calmly asked, "Which school?"
Li Xuan replied, "Three schools, all have reached minor achievent."
Yan Fujing: ???
Words alone prove nothing, Li Xuan directly drew his saber to demonstrate.
A slash, thunder rumbled.
A clenched fist, a long arm turned gold.
A breath, with a slight burning scent.
Everything was self-explanatory.
Though shocked, Yan Fujing quickly collected himself and began contemplating "the possibility of Zhou Eli instructing this boy," after all, Zhou Chihe recomnded this youth most strongly, was it possible Zhou Eli had taught him so techniques in advance for today’s evaluation?
Though the Zhou family was loyal to the Pri Minister’s residence, it didn’t conflict with the family’s own planning.
However, to simultaneously achieve minor mastery in three Grandmaster-level techniques at such an age, is truly deserving of the title "peerless genius."
Yan Fujing pondered deeply.
Li Xuan stood still from afar.
Suddenly, Yan Fujing said, "Plans have changed, I may stay longer here. Do you have the confidence to master another technique within seven days?"
Lanting after saying this, the Pri Minister regretted it sowhat.
To have mastered three Grandmaster-level techniques was already highly achieving a highly credible status of a Triple Cultivator martial artist.
Why insist on further validation?
Li Xuan responded, "I am obsessed with martial arts, I have the confidence."
Yan Fujing stroked his beard and laughed, "Good, good, Zhenshan, pick any technique for him."
Jiang Zhenshan was the man who ca to deliver ssages to the Li family earlier.
He sized up Li Xuan carefully, then selected a relatively simple cultivation technique from a nearby inconspicuous black box, handed it to Li Xuan saying, "This technique is nad ’Backwind Willow Sword,’ for a prodigy it’s entirely possible to achieve minor mastery within seven days."
Li Xuan sensed a kind intention, and thanked him, "Thank you."
Jiang Zhenshan said, "No need to thank ; if you are truly a genius, it would be a great fortune for our Great Yin."
Li Xuan held the book with both hands, respectfully stated, "Pri Minister, within seven days, I will return."
In truth, the ti required to complete mastering this swordsmanship should be two or three days.
But saying seven days had other considerations.
Or maybe... he had so resolution.
The demon plague, the Demon Buddha truly provoked him.
Yan Fujing was astounded, but nodded solemnly, "I await you."
This "waiting" was different this ti from before.
Previously, he awaited a genius, perhaps extrely rare, but not necessarily unique in Great Yin.
Now... he awaited a miracle, sothing he thought almost impossible.
Mastery of a Grandmaster-level technique within seven days?
Is that... possible?
Although achieving minor mastery of one Grandmaster-level technique within seven days, and doing so for three, differs sowhat.
Indeed, is it possible Zhou’s family secretly taught this boy techniques?
Yan Fujing pondered deeply.
...
...
Seven days passed in a flash.
When Li Xuan appeared again at the Bixiang Tea House, he unreservedly displayed his power.
The sword erged with backwind, cutting open layer upon layer of silver threads in the air.
The saber cleaved in succession, explosions echoed one after another, continuous and overlapping.
He removed his clothes, revealed his body, faint gold, hard as iron.
A breath expelled, flew into the snow, the hovering snow lted and fell as rain.
Yan Fujing was completely silent.
His previous conjectures were entirely refuted.
Now his mind was filled entirely with "impossible, how is it possible."
In these seven days, Li Xuan not only mastered ’Backwind Willow Sword’ to major achievent but also achieved major mastery in the other three techniques: ’Demon-Breaking Saber,’ ’Vajra Body,’ and ’Fire Sun Divine Skill.’
The secret martial artists behind Yan Fujing were all stunned...
This kind of talent, never heard of in a thousand years across Great Yin and its neighboring kingdoms.
"Demon chaos, heroes erge"—eight large characters, suddenly appeared in his mind.
The tea house was silent to the extre.
Suddenly, Yan Fujing pulled out a pair of gloves from his chest pocket.
The gloves seed entirely made of ice jade threads, shining with a lustrous and smooth gloss.
Yan Fujing pushed the gloves forward to the edge of the table without explaining the reason, simply said, "Co, try them on."
Saying these words, he stared intently at the young man.
These ice jade gloves have a similar function as the Ice Crystal Arrow used by Liang Shigu for killing demons.
But, Ice Crystal is just an ordinary precious mineral tal, whereas Ice Jade is the essence of precious minerals.
Previously, the Pri Minister’s residence did not have such items, as precious minerals were monopolized by the Ministry of War.
However, before he left the capital, he completed a certain "exchange" with the "Grand General" Wang Baxian.
Wang Baxian accepted the secret martial artists he sent, and also returned so Ice Crystal weapons to him, among... the most precious was these Ice Jade gloves.
According to Wang Baxian’s ssage, these Ice Jade gloves could subdue demons, rendering them powerless, weakening demon techniques.
If so, demons could not wear these gloves.
Not even touching them; a demon would instinctively recoil and retreat at the slightest contact.
And yet, these gloves do not excessively affect secret martial artists, unless using secret martial power, nearly no effect.
Yan Fujing, as the current Pri Minister, was the first to contact demons and utilize demon powers, therefore... he knew demons possessed peculiar abilities, and illusion skills were among them.
He didn’t know if what he saw was an illusion, didn’t know if the youth with terrifying talent in front was using demon techniques, thus... he needed a final test.
However, Li Xuan simply grabbed the ice jade gloves, casually wore them on his hands, flipped them twice, and asked, "Is this how they’re worn?"
Yan Fujing didn’t reply but saw Li Xuan’s expression change from initial coolness to warmth.
To wear the ice jade gloves so easily... this youth is absolutely unrelated to demons!
This is a martial king heaven-sent to Great Yin!
Yan Fujing felt as if witnessing a flawless jade, breathing beca rapid, muttering, "The Zhou family has contributed to the nation!"
Saying this, he gazed at Li Xuan and said, "I have three fundantal scrolls, which one would you like to begin with?"
Li Xuan’s eyes burned intensely, showing a deanor of madness upon seeing martial arts, he said, "I am devoted to martial arts, the more the better... Pri Minister, may I browse through all martial arts of the world?"
