Chapter 164: Ye Ping Teaches The Sword Technique, The Nan Nation Genius Suppresses Everything

At this moment, everyone in the Ten Nations was paying attention to the matter regarding the prodigy of Nan Nation.

He was almost unbeatable. Within just seven days, he trumped all the disciples of the academies of the nine nations, and some of the disciples of the major academies were almost traumatized by him.

Now, it was the last stop for the prodigy of Nan Nation.

It was the Jin Nation Academy.

Almost no one was optimistic about the Jin Nation Academy, which was ranked at the bottom few among all the academies. They did not have any outstanding genius either. Hence, everyone was certain that the Jin Nation Academy would fall.

There were even gambling dens that had opened bets on Jin Nation avoiding. That was enough to prove everything.

At this moment, everyone in the Jin Nation Academy was depressed and melancholic.

The Nan Nation genius was a fourth generation disciple of the Nan Nation Academy, and usually, the fourth generation disciples should be the ones to fight him.

However, the Nan Nation genius was really too invincible. Hence, they allowed the third generation and second generation disciples to join the fight.

Of course, if they were shameless enough, they could also send the first generation disciples.

After all, the fact that the Nan Nation genius wanted to defeat the academies of the Ten Nations was already provocative.

At least, several academies had sent the first generation disciples to fight, but the result was a miserable defeat.

The Great Dragon and Elephant Ancient Technique was just too overbearing, so much that it made them feel hopeless.

In the Jin Nation Academic Palace.

The first generation and second generation disciples appeared at the same time. They were there to discuss about the Nan Nation genius.

Fang Lei, Duanmu Yun, Mo Xiaoping, and the others were also present.

They were all second generation disciples. In other words, if the Jin Nation Academy wanted some pride, they would be the core strength against the Nan Nation genius.

There were four first generation disciples seated in the Academic Palace.

Fang Lei and the others were seated below.

The Academic Palace was dead silent, with a somber tension in the air. No one spoke and everyone had their own thoughts.

However, finally, someone spoke.

“Senior Brother, is that Nan Nation genius really that scary?”

It was a second generation disciple who couldn’t help but think that the so-called Nan Nation genius should not be that strong.

As he said that, a man in a feather robe soon spoke up.

“He is unbelievably strong. I saw him challenging the geniuses of the Yan Nation Academy with my very own eyes. Do you know that almost none of the second-generation Yan Nation disciples could take a strike from him?”

“At that time, I knew that the Jin Nation is going to be finished. Even the disciples that the Yan Nation sent out were defeated terribly even though they had resisted.”

“In the Ten Nations, the Yan Nation is ranked before us.”

“If nothing goes wrong, maybe you guys might not even be able to defeat him if you all go together.”

The man in the feathered robe spoke up. He had seen the Nan Nation genius strike with his own eyes, and that scene was deeply etched in his heart.

“Hmph, the Great Dragon and Elephant Ancient Technique is indeed very powerful, but it’s not that terrifying. I don’t believe that the Nan Nation genius is that strong.”

Fang Lei spoke up.

Although he failed to challenge the Essence Demon a few days ago, he did not feel that he was too weak. After all, who could beat an Essence Demon King?

As for the fact that Duanmu Yun had defeated it…

To be honest, he always had suspicions and felt that there must be something fishy about it.

“Fang Lei, don’t be conceited.”

A first generation disciple spoke up and told Fang Lei not to be conceited.

“Hmph, you can’t even pass the Essence Demon Mystic Realm and yet you’re blowing your trumpet here. Fang Lei, do you have the cheek to say that?”

“Exactly, Senior Brother Fang, I thought you were quite capable last time, but after you failed to pass the Essence Demon Mystic Realm, I’ve started to think that you don’t live up to your name at all.”

Someone couldn’t help but interject and mock Fang Lei. After all, Fang Lei was extremely dominant in the Jin Nation Academy and had offended many people.

“Hmph, that’s the Essence Demon King. Of course I can’t defeat him. Would you be able to defeat it if you were in my place?”

Speaking of this matter, Fang Lei also felt rather upset.

“How did Senior Sister Duanmu defeat the Essence Demon King?”

His words struck Fang Lei.

“Duanmu Yun? That was most likely because we have already seriously injured the Essence Demon King, and Duanmu Yun took advantage of the situation.”

Fang Lei said stubbornly.

Someone wanted to retort, but Duanmu Yun soon spoke up.

“Okay, stop fighting about this. The Nan Nation genius is not here yet, but we have already started fighting. If word about this spreads, wouldn’t we become a laughing matter?”

Duanmu Yun’s interjection made the crowd fall silent while Fang Lei felt a little surprised.

Usually, Duanmu Yun would often go against him, but she didn’t expect Duanmu Yun to speak up for him.

That was rather unbelievable.

“Junior Sister Duanmu is right. It’s not the time to have an internal strife but to deal with the Nan Nation genius.”

The feather-robed man spoke up.

“Once one reaches the Greater Mastery of the Great Dragon and Elephant Ancient Technique, he will be invincible. The fact that he cultivated to the sixth level shows how invincible he is.”

“Yes, the academies of the Li Nation, Chen Nation, and Jing Nation are the top three. Although they did not let the real geniuses compete with him, it is true that they have been defeated.”

“I originally thought that this Nan Nation prodigy would suffer some hardship in the Li Nation, the Chen Nation, and the Jing Nation. However, I didn’t expect them to dodge and send all those geniuses away. That’s indeed quite despicable.”

The crowd discussed that once someone cultivated to the Greater Mastery of the Great Dragon and Elephant Ancient Technique, they would be invincible.

There were also people who thought that the Li Nation, Chen Nation, and Jing Nation had the strength to fight against the Nan Nation genius. Yet, they deliberately transferred the geniuses in the academy on purpose.

Although they failed, the true geniuses did not join the battlefield. Hence, it could not be considered a true defeat.

However, it was only suitable for the top-ranking academies.

Even if the academies who were ranked below wanted to do that, they did not have any geniuses.

Others had geniuses and could avoid the battle. They could not be considered to have failed and were just preserving their strengths.

Who would believe that an academy without geniuses was just preserving the battle? They might even be branded as timid wimps.

“The Ten Nations Grand Tournament is just around the corner and it’s normal for the Li Nation to do that. There’s nothing too despicable about that. You guys aren’t kids either. If you’re a disciple of the Li Nation academy, you will not say so.”

The feather-robed man couldn’t help but speak.

“I heard that the Jin Nation Academy has also produced a genius called Ye Ping. I heard that he has condensed the Blood and Qi Furnace. Are you aware of that?”

He continued and happened to mention Ye Ping.

“Ye Ping?”

“Blood and Qi furnace?”

“When did that happen?”

All of a sudden, Fang Lei and the others were all curious. They had been recuperating and recovering from their injuries during this period of time. The experience in the Essence Demon Mystic Realm had caused their vitality to be greatly damaged, so they had never heard about Ye Ping.

However, there were people who had heard of it, so they immediately spoke up.

“There seems to be such a thing but I don’t know if it’s true or not.”

“Blood and Qi Furnace? A new disciple? How old is he? Why does this Ye Ping sound so familiar?”

“When did Jin Nation Academy produce such a genius?”

“I know some stuff about this matter. There is indeed someone who has condensed the Blood and Qi Furnace. When he just arrived, he defeated all the third generation and fourth generation disciples.”

“Yes, that’s not all, I heard that Elder Li Jiang originally wanted to impart some sword techniques to him, but Ye Ping’s attainments in the Sword Dao are very high. His pointers allowed Elder Li Jiang to break through to the Nascent Soul realm and condense the supreme sword intent.”

“In that case, I have also heard of this Ye Ping, it seems that a few days ago, Elder Xu Chang imparted some alchemy skills to him, and in the end, Ye Ping also refined the legendary non-poisonous pill. However, I’m not sure if it’s true or not.”

The disciples all had some impression of Ye Ping.

However, their words immediately caused the crowd to be repulsed.

“It’s getting more and more outrageous. I believe that he has condensed the Blood and Qi Furnace, but you said that he gave Elder Li Jiang and Elder Xu Chang some pointers? They’re the best swordsman and alchemist in Jin Nation. Yet, they were taught by a new disciple? Have you read too many mortal novels?”

“Honestly, I believed what you said at first but I don’t anymore. Non-poisonous pill? Do you know what the non-poisonous pill means? You’re sounding more and more outrageous.”

Everyone spoke up. At first, they sounded a little surprised, wondering when the Jin Nation Academy produced such a strong person. However, as they continued to listen, they began to find it strange and outrageous.

“Senior Brothers, these are all hearsay. I wasn’t the one who said it. What are you guys scolding me for?”

“Yeah, this is all nonsense that the newly matriculated disciples said. They’re totally clueless. Maybe it’s just an ordinary pill but they call it a non-poisonous pill.”

“Yeah, maybe those disciples have narrow horizons and they mistook it for the Blood and Qi Furnace.”

The first generation disciples spoke up. Initially, they thought that it would be a good thing for them if the Jin Nation had produced a genius.

However, they didn’t expect them to brag so much that they lost interest.

They believed that Ye Ping could condense the Blood and Qi Furnace. After all, the eighteen-year-old genius of Nan Nation had cultivated to the sixth level of the Great Dragon and Elephant Ancient Technique. Why couldn’t someone in Jin Nation condense the Blood and Qi Furnace?

However, the latter event was just too fake and outrageous.

The first generation disciples did not pay much attention to the matters in the Jin Nation Academy as they were often away. On the other hand, the second generation disciples were all injured and thus did not know what exactly happened either.

In addition, most of the elders in the Jin Nation Academy had left the academy too. The other elders had only found out based on hearsay.

The main point was that someone was blocking the news. Although the fifth generation disciples had gone around to spread the news, they were not persuasive enough, and most people were apprehensive and unconvinced.

Besides, the things they said were so outrageous that it seemed like they were bragging. Giving pointers to the best swordsman and alchemist in Jin Nation was just absurd.

No one would believe unless they saw it with their own eyes.

“I’ve heard of this Ye Ping. It was rumored that during the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet, he killed all the disciples of the Fiendcelestial Cult with a single move. At first, there were all sorts of mystical theories around him. Some said that he’s the reincarnation of Bodhisattva.”

“However, it turned out that it was all a plot by his uncle, the Lord of Qingzhou City, Chen Zheng, who wanted to create clout for his nephew. As a result the king of Jin Nation deliberately punished Chen Zheng severely.”

“If not for Chen Zheng’s contributions to maintaining the Qingzhou Ancient City, I’m afraid he would have been demoted. I never thought he would still come to the Jin Nation Academy, it seems that his uncle Chen Zheng has some tactics.”

At the mention of Ye Ping, Fang Lei immediately remembered who he was. Hence, he revealed Ye Ping’s origin and identity.

Indeed, after he said that, everyone was thoroughly convinced that these were all rumors.

“Reporting!”

A person with an extremely loud voice spoke up.

“What’s the matter?”

All of a sudden, the disciples in the academy fell silent. They seemed to have guessed that something happened. However, they did not want it to really be what they guessed.

“I, Huangfu Tianlong, have come forth to ask for a fight with the Jin Nation Academy.”

It became quieter in the Academic Palace.

Everyone looked at each other, at a complete loss for words.

“Go out, fight!”

Finally, the man in the feathered robe gritted his teeth and said.

He was well aware that if they did not fight, Jin Nation would become the joke of the world.

At this moment, in Qingyun Dao Sect.

Ye Ping looked at Su Changyu with a dumbfounded expression.

“Eldest Senior Brother, you want me to teach that disciple of yours?”

Ye Ping asked in disbelief.

To be honest, Ye Ping knew that his strength was not too bad, but he did not have the courage to go teach someone.

Ye Ping felt that he might even end up misleading others.

“Junior Brother, I’ve been busy lately and I don’t have the time to teach your Disciple-Nephew. Since I taught you the sword techniques that you know now, isn’t it good for you to teach him?”

Su Changyu said in the room.

He wasn’t lazy, but mainly because he felt that he couldn’t teach Gu Jianxian those things.

However, it would be different if Ye Ping taught him instead. To put it bluntly, it would not be wrong to say that Ye Ping was a genius.

Hence, it would be good to let Ye Ping teach Gu Jianxian, but if Gu Jianxian could not learn it, it would not be his fault.

‘If you can’t learn well from the best Sword Dao powerhouse in Qingzhou, it’s your fault. I’ll then have a reason to chase Gu Jianxian away.’

“However, Senior Brother, I’ve only learned a little bit of your skills. I really don’t dare to teach someone else.”

Ye Ping was a little flustered. He could accept the fighting, but he couldn’t teach others.

If he failed, he would end up misleading others.

“Little Junior Brother.”

At this juncture, Su Changyu’s gaze changed slightly and became very calm. Gazing at Ye Ping, he said, “Little Junior Brother, you have indeed only learned a little bit of my skills, but that’s several times better than the best swordsman of the Ten Nations.”

“Do you think a big fish in a small pond can be compared to a big fish in a big pond?”

Su Changyu’s gaze was calm and full of confidence.

He was pretending to be impressive.

All of a sudden, Ye Ping was enlightened.

“In this case, I obey.”

Ye Ping did not say much and felt that Su Changyu made sense.

“Yes, go ahead. Once you go to the Jin Nation Academy, I will tell you the supreme sword intent too.”

In order to make Ye Ping happier, Su Changyu deliberately mentioned the matter of the supreme sword intent to Ye Ping.

Indeed, Ye Ping was excited at the mention of the supreme sword intent.

What he wanted the most now was the supreme sword intent. Hence, Ye Ping was extremely excited.

“Okay, thank you so much, Eldest Senior Brother.”

With a smile on his face, Ye Ping left the room and went to look for Gu Jianxian.

However, after all, it was the first time he was going to be a teacher. Ye Ping thought about it and decided to go look for Da Xu. After all, he was in the Nascent Soul realm. With him at the side, he could more or less give some pointers.

After Ye Ping left, Su Changyu also slowly walked out of the room.

He exhaled and then walked towards the cliff.

It had been a long time since he looked up at the stars in the sky and pondered about life.

Soon, Su Changyu stood on the front cliff clad in a long robe with his hands by his side. He tilted his head a little and looked at the clear sky.

The breeze came and blew Su Changyu’s hair. His handsome face was calm.

It was as if he wouldn’t frown even if the sky had fallen.

His calmness was mesmerizing.

At this moment, a figure was continuously staring at Su Changyu.

It was Xia Qingmo.

She was looking at Su Changyu with a peculiar gaze.

After the contact that they had in the past few days, she felt that Su Changyu was really peculiar, but she couldn’t put her finger on it. He seemed somewhat familiar.

She could not put it in words, but she just felt that it was strange.

“Girl.”

Suddenly, a voice sounded, making Xia Qingmo come back to her senses

It was Da Xu’s voice.

“What’s the matter?”

Xia Qingmo looked at Da Xu who was not far away and was somewhat curious.

“Girl, the Exalted Immortal is going to preach the Dao. I don’t have much knowledge but you have broad horizons. Do you want to come along?”

Da Xu’s voice was hoarse and he asked Xia Qingmo to come along.

After all, he did not understand much. He could swallow others right on the spot but teaching…

He really didn’t know how to. He could teach one to kill and become a resentful ghost.

“Oh, okay.”

Xia Qingmo nodded and didn’t think much of it. She simply moved and headed downstairs.

On the front cliff of the Qingyun Dao Sect.

Su Changyu quietly watched everything. He had long discovered that Xia Qingmo was stealing a glance at him.

However, Su Changyu did not feel gleeful at all. He was simply filled with endless emotion and melancholy.

“Another gorgeous woman fell in love with a man she shouldn’t have.”

“You’re very good, but unfortunately, I’m not interested in romance or women.”

“Don’t be obsessed with me, I’m just a legend.”

Su Changyu muttered slowly on the front cliff before starting to think about life again.

Five minutes later,

Ye Ping, Xia Qingmo, and Da Xu arrived at the rear cliff.

Ye Ping was a little nervous.

It was the first time he was teaching in his life.

Hence, he was inevitably nervous.

Xia Qingmo and Da Xu were standing calmly beside Ye Ping.

“Senior Brother Ye, teaching is actually very simple. Use the simplest method to let the other party learn and comprehend what you teach.”

Xia Qingmo said.

Ye Ping nodded while muttering to himself.

“The simplest method?”

He pondered in his heart, and he couldn’t help but look at the sword mark on the ground, which was left behind by Su Changyu.

At this moment, Gu Jianxian appeared.
