"You look so elegant and otherworldly, I never expected you to favor such a bloody and violent sword technique. But I've actually studied this technique before!"
Meng Fan looked at Ye Qingyu, who was holding a sword in one hand, and smiled.
He continued, "Senior Sister Ye, if you want to test me with this sword technique, then it's quite a coincidence."
"Coincidence? Do you mean you've already mastered the Sword Intent of this technique?" Ye Qingyu asked, disbelief written all over her face.
Indeed, she couldn't believe it. With so many sword techniques in Shu Mountain, how could Meng Fan just happen to know this one?
Moreover, the Great Annihilation Sword Technique is extremely difficult to cultivate, often leading to inner demons. Even she had struggled with it!
Beside them, Liu Yanping nudged Meng Fan with her elbow.
She remembered clearly that during the Shu Mountain Swordsmanship Competition, Meng Fan didn't know this technique. How could he suddenly master it now?
Meng Fan smiled at Liu Yanping, signaling her to relax.
Then he picked up the Hong Qi Sword and said to Ye Qingyu, "Senior Sister Ye, allow me to demonstrate."
As the sword light poured out, the Hong Qi Sword was unsheathed.
At the same time, a Sword Intent blossomed in the courtyard.
[Great Annihilation Sword Intent]
Meng Fan's expression was calm, as if it was a trivial matter.
In fact, even if Ye Qingyu had used another sword technique instead of the Great Annihilation Sword Technique, Meng Fan would likely have mastered it as well.
After all, he had studied over eighty percent of the sword techniques in the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.
He was well-versed!
As long as he wanted to, he could master the Sword Intent of these techniques in an instant.
Ye Qingyu stared at Meng Fan, her face full of disbelief.
"It's really the Great Annihilation Sword Intent!" she said, her tone tinged with shock.
This Junior Disciple Meng truly surprised her.
"If Senior Sister wants to learn the Great Annihilation Sword Intent, I can teach you everything I know," Meng Fan said straightforwardly, without any hesitation.
For others, mastering the Great Annihilation Sword Intent and teaching someone else to master it were two completely different things, incomparable in difficulty.
The difficulty would multiply tenfold!
But for Meng Fan, even tenfold difficulty was a trivial matter.
His Sword Dao attainments were simply too high.
He was too strong!
Even if it was a level 10 difficulty, he could break it down into ten level 1 difficulties.
In this way, he could guarantee success.
Ye Qingyu said seriously, "If you can guide me to master the Great Annihilation Sword Intent, I can refine the Vajra Pill for you. And as promised, I'll only charge you the cost of materials!"
"Deal!" Meng Fan said with a smile.
He couldn't help but feel a bit excited; today was indeed a lucky day.
Of course, luck aside, strength was also crucial.
After all, if it were someone else, they wouldn't have the confidence to guarantee that Ye Qingyu could master the Great Annihilation Sword Intent.
Even the Sect Master Lin Jinghong wouldn't dare to make such a promise!
After all, mastering something yourself and teaching it to someone else are entirely different matters.
***
In the following days, Meng Fan spent an hour each day at Ye Qingyu's place, teaching her the Great Annihilation Sword Technique.
An hour was enough; the rest of the time was for Ye Qingyu to digest the teachings.
To master the Sword Intent, one must fully comprehend the sword technique, but this is extremely difficult for ordinary people.
But for Meng Fan, it was as if he had "x-ray vision," making it effortless.
***
Ten days later.
In Ye Qingyu's courtyard, a Sword Intent shot up to the sky.
[Great Annihilation Sword Intent]
This time, it wasn't Meng Fan who displayed it, but Ye Qingyu.
She had successfully mastered the Great Annihilation Sword Intent!
This progress was about five days faster than Meng Fan had anticipated.
He originally thought it would take half a month, but Ye Qingyu's aptitude was quite good, and she already had some foundation in the Great Annihilation Sword Technique.
So the progress was ahead of schedule.
"Congratulations!" Meng Fan congratulated Ye Qingyu in the courtyard.
At the same time, he congratulated himself.
Ye Qingyu smiled at Meng Fan and said, "Thank you."
She rarely smiled; to put it dramatically, she was the ice queen type.
But these days, she had smiled quite a bit in front of Meng Fan.
Because Meng Fan's prowess in sword techniques had truly impressed her.
She had no choice but to be impressed; it was too monstrous!
To master the Great Annihilation Sword Intent in just ten days was something she couldn't have imagined.
Previously, she thought Liu Yanping was exaggerating, but now that it had happened to her, she understood Meng Fan's terrifying abilities.
This Junior Brother at the second level of Heavenly Origin was likely to become the brightest star of the younger generation in the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.
Not just a star, but a blazing sun!
It's worth mentioning that a few days ago, Meng Fan had already cultivated from the first level to the second level of Heavenly Origin.
"Since Senior Sister has achieved her goal, then about the promise to me…"
"Don't worry, I'll start refining the Vajra Pill for you today. You can come to pick it up tomorrow evening."
Hearing Ye Qingyu's words, Meng Fan breathed a sigh of relief.
He was really worried that Ye Qingyu might go back on her word.
Ye Qingyu's status and position were extremely special; he couldn't possibly force her, could he?
"Thank you, Senior Sister."
"It should be me thanking you."
The two began to exchange pleasantries.
For ordinary people, pleasantries indicate unfamiliarity; only when unfamiliar do people exchange pleasantries.
But for Ye Qingyu, being willing to exchange pleasantries meant familiarity.
Because if she was unfamiliar with you, she wouldn't even acknowledge you!
Just like the first time she met Meng Fan, she was cold and indifferent.
"Junior Brother Meng, you don't need to worry about the pill. Just come to pick it up tomorrow evening; I will definitely have it ready for you. However, I have one more request. Of course, even if you refuse, it won't affect you picking up the pill tomorrow."
Just as Meng Fan was about to leave, he heard Ye Qingyu speak again.
He frowned slightly, then relaxed.
"Please, Senior Sister, go ahead."
Ye Qingyu looked directly at Meng Fan, was silent for a moment, and then said, "I want to spar with you using the Great Annihilation Sword Technique."
Meng Fan smiled. Was she itching for a fight?
Spar with him using the Great Annihilation Sword Technique?
Was this a case of the student wanting to challenge the master?
Although Ye Qingyu was at the ninth level of Heavenly Origin, and Meng Fan was only at the second level.
But if they were to spar in sword techniques, she still wouldn't be a match for Meng Fan.
"Is Senior Sister planning to 'rebel against the master'?" Meng Fan said with a laugh.
In a sense, he was both a teacher and a friend to Ye Qingyu in sword techniques.
Over this period, his relationship with Ye Qingyu had improved, and they could joke around.
Ye Qingyu didn't get angry, her face calm, "If you can defeat me, what's wrong with calling you Master?"
Meng Fan thought for a moment. If Ye Qingyu really called him Master, it would feel quite satisfying, a unique experience.
Thinking of this, Meng Fan didn't hesitate and said to Ye Qingyu, "Since Senior Sister insists, I shall not refuse."
With that, he drew the Hong Qi Sword.
