"Accept a disciple?"
Hearing Liu Yunyue's request, Guhan smiled bitterly, "I'm already a cripple. I'm not qualified to be your master."
"No!"
Liu Yunyue shook her head firmly, "Lord Leng Qingqiu, you're not a cripple. Otherwise, all of us would have died here today. In fact, it was you who saved us."
"Get up, I won't accept you as a disciple!"
Guhan helped Liu Yunyue up, "One of my disciples is in trouble now. I won't accept any other disciple before rescuing her."
"But Lord Leng Qingqiu, are you willing to take away all your swordsmanship and not leave anything behind?"
Liu Yunyue said with some excitement, "Yunyue is not talented, but I'm willing to inherit swordsmanship on behalf of Master, to make Master famous, and to make Master's name known throughout the world."
"If I want to make a name for myself, why would I need your help?" Guhan smiled, and he couldn't help but recall what happened three years ago.
Three years ago, he also knelt in front of Wuzhang Shifang and asked Wuzhang Shifang to accept him as a disciple. In the end, Wuzhang Shifang rejected him. Therefore, Guhan came up with a wicked idea and said to Liu Yunyue, "If you really want to be my disciple, it's not impossible. It's just that I never accept students without talent. If you can get first place in this year's Octagon Tournament, then I can accept you as a disciple."
"First place in the Octagon Tournament!"
Liu Yunyue's face stiffened when she heard Guhan's request, and she said pitifully, "Lord Leng Qingqiu, it's not like you don't know that since Lord Guhan three years ago, our Yuzhang City has been at the bottom of the Octagon Tournament for years. How can I get first place in the Octagon Tournament?"
"Really!
It's been at the bottom for three years in a row! "
In the three years that Guhan was in Shanhai Pass, he had never cared about the Octagon Tournament. Therefore, when he heard that Yuzhang City had been at the bottom for three years in a row, he just felt unhappy.
"If that's the case, then all the more reason for you to get first place!"
Guhan rubbed his nose. "How about this? I won't take you as my disciple now, but I can teach you some sword techniques. You'll be traveling during the day and practicing with me at night.
I remember that the Eight Academies Assembly should have ended last month. There are still 11 months left. I am confident that I can help you be reborn. "
Three years ago, after the August Conference ended, Gu Han hurriedly came to Shanhai Pass for relief within a day or two.
Therefore, Guhan speculated that this year's Eight Academies Assembly would end within a month, so he still had 11 months.
"Lord Leng Qingqiu, don't you know?"
Hearing Leng Qingqiu's words, Liu Yunyue's face showed a puzzled expression. "This year, because of Lord Ying Zheng, the Eight Academies Assembly was held six months in advance. There are only five months left before the next Eight Academies Assembly."
"This Ying Zheng has never done anything good."
Guhan muttered, "Five months is actually enough. As long as you follow me and learn seriously, the first place is not far from you."
"But Lord, the number of participants in the Eight Academies Assembly was personally decided by the Dean.
I heard that this year's number of participants has already been decided. It's impossible for the Dean to let me, a newcomer who just became a sword-bearer a month ago, go on stage. "Liu Yunyue said again.
"Why do you have so much nonsense to say?"
Guhan's face showed a trace of displeasure. "Since I let you participate in the Eight Academies Assembly, I am confident that I can get you a place.
You just need to follow me and practice swordsmanship.
From now on, if you say another word of nonsense, don't even think about worshipping me as your master. "
"Yes!
Lord Leng Qingqiu! "Liu Yunyue had no choice but to shut her mouth.
Guhan had always been a man of action. He would do what he said. That night, Guhan began to teach Liu Yunyue some basics of swordsmanship.
Although Guhan had accepted Lu Xihua as a disciple before, Guhan had accepted her more because he saw the potential of Lu Xihua to become an Emperor Sword level sword-bearer. He only taught her swordsmanship for a few days and then stopped teaching her carefully. He only took out a few minutes every day to ask Lu Xihua about her progress, correct her mistakes, and point out the direction to move forward. That was all.
Among Guhan's three most powerful swordsmanship techniques, "Nine Swords of Mysterious Heaven", "Three Green Lotus Swords", and "Chaos Sword Technique", other than teaching Lu Xihua some basic techniques in "Nine Swords of Mysterious Heaven", he did not pass on the essence of these three swordsmanship techniques to her.
However, the treatment that Liu Yunyue received was completely different. Because she had lost all her sword essence and one of her legs, Guhan could do nothing but teach Liu Yunyue swordsmanship. In the end, Guhan taught her very seriously.
Liu Yunyue was a great swordsmanship genius. She could understand many swordsmanship techniques with just a few pointers. In just a few short nights, Liu Yunyue's swordsmanship had improved by a terrifying amount … On the fifth night that Guhan taught her, Liu Yunyue used Guhan's Heavenly Sword to spar with her Sword Lady. In the end, she defeated her Sword Lady.
This was an extremely amazing achievement. Even though Liu Yunyue's Sword Lady was an unremarkable man-made Sword Lady, she had 70-80% of her original swordsmanship. After all, every Sword Lady's swordsmanship was accumulated through hundreds of battles. Even if a normal human trained hard for 30 years, they would not be able to defeat a Sword Lady. This was why there were so few Sword Masters.
In the end, in just five nights, Liu Yunyue defeated her Sword Lady in a spar.
Of course, this was only in terms of spar. As they dissected one move at a time, Liu Yunyue could easily think about what sword technique to use to defeat her opponent.
However, this was completely different in actual combat. Liu Yunyue's opponent would not give her the chance to think about her next move. Thus, in actual combat, Liu Yunyue was still not her Sword Lady's match. However, Guhan believed that in a month at most, Liu Yunyue would be able to completely defeat her Sword Lady … This was something that Guhan had trained for two years to achieve.
As the days passed, the team got closer and closer to the end of the treasure trove. The number of Yuan Kou they encountered in their daily battles also increased.
Under Guhan's deliberate orders, Liu Yunyue no longer released her Sword Lady. Instead, she used her Sword Lady to fight different Yuan Kou's.
In the beginning, Liu Yunyue had almost died at the hands of Yuan Kou due to her lack of actual combat experience.
As her combat experience continued to increase, Liu Yunyue became more and more proficient. Liu Yunyue could also fight ordinary mouse and tiger Yuan Kou's without Guhan's command.
These changes in Liu Yunyue were also seen by the other sword-bearers in the team. When they first met Liu Yunyue, she was just a complete novice.
She could not even do something as simple as releasing her Sword Lady. She was the weakest existence in the team, and no one took her seriously.
However, at this moment, Liu Yunyue could hold her Sword Lady and fight with those Yuan Kou's. She even won repeatedly.
She was not like them, who could only hide in a hidden place and command their Sword Lady to fight from afar. The difference in strength was obvious.
It was foreseeable that after a period of time, Liu Yunyue would be able to completely leave them behind. She would go from someone who looked up to them to someone who they had to look up to.
This made the other sword-bearers envious and jealous. Of course, they knew that it was impossible for Liu Yunyue's comprehension ability to comprehend such amazing swordsmanship. Instead, there was an expert secretly teaching her.
Liu Yunyue had such a shocking change after meeting Guhan. Furthermore, Liu Yunyue and Guhan were always together. Even a fool could guess that the expert behind the scenes was undoubtedly Guhan.
At this moment, the other sword-bearers were so regretful that they beat their chests and stamped their feet. They saw that Guhan's Purple Palace was destroyed and thought that Guhan was already useless. They did not even think of treating him with respect and courtesy.
In the end, Liu Yunyue, this silly girl, ran over and even shared her precious food with him.
Originally, they thought that Liu Yunyue was a ridiculous saint who had a burden. They were prepared to see Liu Yunyue make a fool of herself.
In the end, they did not expect Liu Yunyue to pick up a big treasure. She had received the full guidance of an expert and her strength had increased by a terrifying amount.
Therefore, the other sword-bearers in the team also took out their treasured food to curry favor with Guhan. They wanted to become Guhan's disciple as well.
However, the detestable thing was that although Guhan had eaten all of their food, he did not mention anything about teaching. This made the sword-bearers beat their chests and stamped their feet in anger, but they could not do anything to Guhan.
…
"According to the map, the treasure is buried on the mountain in front of us!"
On the twelfth day after Guhan joined the team, the team finally arrived at the foot of the treasure mountain that was marked on the map.
According to the map, the treasure was in a cave halfway up the mountain. However, this cave was extremely hidden and was surrounded by layers of vines. Ordinary people would not be able to find this cave.
However, at midnight, when the moon rose into the sky, the place where the moonlight shone the brightest would be the place where the treasure was buried. Everyone could follow the directions of the moonlight to find the final treasure.
Since they had to rely on the moonlight to guide them, the team could only set up camp at the foot of the mountain and wait until midnight.
Because they were only one step away from the treasure, all the team members became very excited. After everyone ate and drank to their heart's content, they began to chat happily.
At first, these people's topics were topics that Guhan was not interested in. However, at a certain moment, this sentence suddenly popped out of Xu Junjie's mouth. "Did you know?
The night before our personal terminals were damaged, I received a push notification. The Sword Committee issued a wanted order for our Yuzhang City's sword-bearer, Guhan! "
It was this sentence that instantly made Guhan's ears perk up.
