Become a god from scratch

Chapter 195: Wind-Running Sword Master, Yan Twenty-Three

"Speaking of which, how did Uncle Ji get the Yan Family to release the people? They didn't even give face to our eldest brother."

As He Li was talking, he suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to understand the specific process of that incident, so he immediately looked at his master.

Lin Xuan was actually a little curious when he heard this, but he was still too far away from those things, so he didn't ask much.

But since He Li asked, he naturally didn't mind listening in.

Zhao Qiankun didn't want to say more about this matter, but seeing that Lin Xuan seemed to want to know, he cleared his throat and said:

"It's nothing, actually. I just had a friendly exchange with Yan Twenty-Three and he agreed to let me go."

"Wind Sword Saint... Yan Twenty-Three?"

When He Li heard the name, he couldn't help but let out a low cry.

"Third Senior Brother, do you recognize him?" Lin Xuan looked at He Li.

"Of course I recognize her, but she just doesn't recognize me." He Li spread his hands and said, "If Second Senior Sister is one of the top swordsmen in the Taiwu Royal Court, then Fengxing Sword Saint is the pinnacle of the Taiwu Royal Court's swordsmanship."

"Sword Saint... Could it be that the popular Sword Saint is a Holy Lord?" Lin Xuan guessed.

"Silly disciple, where do so many Saint Lords come from? Do you think the Saint Lords are weeds on the roadside?" Zhao Qiankun couldn't help but smile and shook his head when he heard that.

"I'm just guessing." Lin Xuan was also a little embarrassed.

"Yan Twenty-three is indeed very powerful, but he is still far from being a Saint Lord." Zhao Qiankun pondered, "The reason why he is called a Sword Saint is because our Lord Domain King once said that Yan Twenty-three has the potential to become a Saint Lord in the future..."

When Zhao Qiankun said this, he pointed towards the sky.

Obviously, the Lord Domain King he was referring to was naturally the King of Taiwu Royal Court - Taiwu Domain King!
"Our Lord Domain King is not the type to speak casually. Since he said so, it proves that Yan Ershisan has a great chance of reaching the Saint Lord level in the future."

Zhao Qiankun said slowly, "However, it's hard to say how long it will take, so there's no need to take it too seriously..."

With Zhao Qiankun's explanation, Lin Xuan and He Li also roughly understood the whole situation.

After the second sister Jiuzhi broke through to the supreme master level, she tried the Taiwu sword and challenged some veteran sword masters everywhere!
The Yan family was a well-known sword family in the Taiwu royal court, especially the birthplace of Yan Twenty-three, a sword saint who was praised by the King of Taiwu himself. Jiuzhi wanted to test his sword skills in Taiwu, so naturally he could not avoid the Yan family.

As for the lord of the Yan family whose sword heart was broken by her, in terms of seniority, he was the cousin of Yan Twenty-three and was indeed the prodigy of the Yan family back then.

However, unexpected events are sometimes unavoidable in kendo competitions.

Especially when the sword techniques of both parties are too similar, once the winner is decided, the defeated party will easily be influenced by the other party.

Therefore, although Jiuzhi did not intend to break the sword heart of the Yan family's lord, judging from the results, she did cause such consequences.

The sword's heart was broken, and even if he recovered, his way forward was blocked.

This was undoubtedly a huge loss for the Yan family, so they didn't even bother to care about right or wrong and just detained Jiuzhi.

Even when the eldest senior brother Dong Liusheng went to ask for the person, they refused to hand him over.

Of course, according to what He Li said before, the reason why the Yan family dared not give face to the eldest senior brother was mainly because the eldest senior brother could not represent the Dongliu clan.

The eldest senior brother is indeed one of the most outstanding descendants of the Dongliu clan in the contemporary era, but because of this, he has several fierce rivals.

Ancient clans like the Dongliu clan would not mind competition among their own clan members.

In fact, as long as the opponent was not killed openly, it was tacitly accepted even if someone unfortunately died in the competition.

Regarding this point, it is not just the Dongliu clan that is like this. The four ancient clans and even the Taiwu royal family have similar rules.

You know, the reason why Taiwu Royal Court has a bad reputation outside is because they are too belligerent!
Not only did they fight with other royal courts around them, but they also fought internally, and this was the foundation of the Taiwu royal court!
Because the way of a warrior is to fight!
It is obvious that the Yan family is very familiar with the situation of the four ancient clans, so they also know that the eldest brother cannot represent the Dongliu clan.

If the eldest senior brother really goes too far, they can even choose to directly support the eldest senior brother's enemy to teach the eldest senior brother a lesson.

Of course, under normal circumstances, outsiders would not easily intervene in the internal strife between the four ancient clans or the Taiwu royal family, because if they accidentally chose the wrong side, the price they would pay would certainly be extremely heavy.

So the Yan family didn't do anything so drastic. They just ignored the eldest brother's request to release the person.

If not for this, the Yan family would not have the courage to stick to their so-called bottom line in front of the Dongliu clan, one of the four ancient clans.

Yan Twenty-three was indeed praised by King Taiwu of the Realm of Heaven as having the aura of a holy lord, but the four ancient clans all have living holy lords in charge!
Not only that, these four saints are all close friends of King Taiwu. If the Yan family really offends them, King Taiwu will have no way to say anything.

However, after listening to this incident, Lin Xuan had a clearer understanding of the Yan family's terrifying power, so he became more curious:

"So, Uncle Three Eyes defeated that Windward Sword Master?"

"Uncle Three Eyes?"

He Li and Jiu Zhi were slightly surprised when they heard Lin Xuan's address.

But Zhao Qiankun didn't care, because he was the one who asked Lin Xuan to call him that, and said with a smile:

"There's nothing strange about this. This isn't the first time he's defeated Yan Twenty-Three. It's just that guy has never been convinced. Whenever he has the chance, he'll challenge your Uncle Three Eyes... Of course, he hasn't won yet."

When Lin Xuan heard this, he couldn't help but take a breath!
When he heard his third senior brother He Li introduce the popular swordsman, he already thought he was very perverted. He didn't expect that the quiet three-eyed uncle was even more perverted!
"Now you know how precious the gift your uncle Sanyan gave you is, right?" Zhao Qiankun said with a smile.

Lin Xuan nodded repeatedly.

"A greeting gift?" He Li was surprised again when he heard that.

"That's it." Lin Xuan did not hide anything and directly took out the token with the word 'Extreme' engraved on it that Uncle Sanyan had given him. "Uncle Sanyan said that if I crushed the token, he could help me once."

"..."

He Li's whole body suddenly felt bad after hearing this, and he looked at Zhao Qiankun with a look full of resentment, "Master, why don't we have a gift for meeting?"

"How dare you ask? Your senior brother and second senior sister at least have some talent in space. Look at yourself again?!"

Zhao Qiankun became even more furious when He Li asked him this.

When He Li heard Zhao Qiankun mention this, he immediately shrank his neck and dared not complain anymore.

However, he was still somewhat curious and asked, "So, Junior Brother's talent in space has reached your requirements, Master?"

"That's natural!"

When Zhao Qiankun heard this, he immediately revealed his pride. Seeing Zhao Qiankun's reaction, He Li immediately understood something and guessed, "Could it be that Junior Brother is also a top-grade talent in space like you, Master?"

He Li was naturally aware of his master's talent in space, and their degree of compatibility was as high as 59!

This is already the limit of top-grade talent!

Moreover, the talent in space is extremely rare, and its rarity far exceeds most talents.

Therefore, Zhao Qiankun's compatibility of 59 in space can already be compared with monsters with compatibility of more than 70 on other roads!

Zhao Qiankun has been looking for a successor for so many years, and he has found some with talent in space, but he was not satisfied with any of them.

Now that he finally had such a closed disciple, and he seemed to be so doting on him, He Li naturally would not guess that he had an average talent.

However, what he didn't expect was that his master actually shook his head: "Same as me? Of course not."

He Li didn't react to his master's words at first, but Jiu Zhi beside him seemed to have thought of something and said with emotion:
"Junior brother, is your spatial talent above 60?"

"what?!"

He Li was startled by the words of the second senior sister.

Zhao Qiankun had denied his guess before, so he was a little stunned at first and didn't think in this direction.

But he knew Second Senior Sister's personality well, and knew that she would not do this without a purpose, and that she must have seen something.

As expected, the next moment he saw his master Zhao Qiankun smiling and saying, "Old Second is still smart, unlike some idiots who can't guess even if given a chance."

"..."

He Li suddenly felt like his self-esteem was hurt.

However, he was shameless to begin with, and after learning that this junior fellow's spatial talent was even better than his master's, he was also somewhat surprised:
"Junior brother, do you really have an extraordinary spatial talent?"

"Of course it's true. Your junior brother's spatial compatibility is 69, which is 10 points higher than mine!" Zhao Qiankun said with a smile.

However, even in front of his two disciples, he still did not tell the truth, just like he did to Aunt Hong and Uncle Sanyan.

It’s not that he doesn’t trust them, but this matter involves too many things. Once the slightest news leaks out, Lin Xuan will instantly fall into an irretrievable situation!
Because his enemies would never allow him to accept a monster with a spatial talent of 89 as his disciple!

If it is only 69, although it has reached the top level, and is even comparable to some monsters with almost king-level talents, how far it can go in the end still depends on luck.

But if it’s 89, it’s completely different!

With the king-level spatial talent, as long as he does not die prematurely, his future achievements will most likely be higher than Zhao Qiankun's!

It should be noted that among Zhao Qiankun’s three disciples now, even the most talented Dong Liusheng may not achieve higher achievements than Zhao Qiankun in the future.

Therefore, his opponents would not do anything easily, especially since Dong Liusheng came from the Dongliu clan, one of the four ancient clans.

But once the news of Lin Xuan's 89 points of spatial talent leaks out, no matter by what means, Zhao Qiankun's enemies will kill Lin Xuan at all costs!
At that time, unless Zhao Qiankun takes Lin Xuan away directly, even he will not be able to protect Lin Xuan.

Therefore, Zhao Qiankun would not reveal the truth in front of anyone, because even the slightest bit of surprise would be unbearable for him.

However, even though he had concealed something, this result still shocked Jiuzhi and Heli!

Especially He Li, who had no ambition to begin with, and just wanted to live his life relying on the thighs of his master, his eldest senior brother and his second senior sister.

Now, a junior fellow disciple with higher spatial talent than his master suddenly appears. Does he still need to worry about his future?
When he thought that this junior brother might become the second master in the future, or even stronger than the master, he couldn't help but fantasize!
"What if my junior brother becomes someone comparable to the Taoist master in the future? I will then take him back to the clan for a stroll and show that the Taoist master is actually my junior brother. Wouldn't that scare those old guys to death?" He Li's eyes lit up.

Ever since he followed Zhao Qiankun to the Taiwu Royal Court, he has never returned to the Qingcang Baihe Clan.

After all, even if he went back, there would be no point. There were many people in the tribe who were stronger than him or had more powerful backers than him.

The one who is doing the best in their clan is even serving as a mount for the Taoist master!

Although Zhao Qiankun is very powerful, there is still a gap compared to those beings.

So even if He Li wanted to go back and pretend, he couldn't.

Now that he finally saw hope in Lin Xuan, he was immediately overjoyed and would never be jealous of Lin Xuan again.

Before, he was still saying that Zhao Qiankun was biased, but now he just wanted to say, if you are going to be biased, be more biased!
As long as this little junior brother can grow up sooner, it doesn’t matter even if my master’s heart is all towards this little junior brother!
"Master, please let me take care of your training. I promise to serve you wholeheartedly!"

He Li flapped his wings against his chest and assured Zhao Qiankun.

Zhao Qiankun didn't expect that He Li, this lazy guy, would take the initiative to stop this task, but he didn't refuse it either.

Because at this stage, it would definitely be more than enough to let He Li coach Lin Xuan in his training, especially since He Li is most familiar with his abilities.

Even if He Li himself does not have the talent for space, as a monarch of the fourth level, it is not difficult for him to recite the skills word for word.

"If you want to teach me, then teach me well. I will check on you from time to time. If I find that you have done something wrong... just wait for me!"

Zhao Qiankun glanced at He Li and warned him.

"Master, rest assured. I will devote myself to you wholeheartedly!" He Li did not pay attention to Zhao Qiankun's warning this time, because he would not do anything reckless.

This time he really intends to curry favor with someone in advance!

"Well, then the task of teaching Xiaoxuan the martial arts will be given to you first. As for Xiaojiu, you will be responsible for guiding your junior brother in martial arts." After agreeing to He Li's request, Zhao Qiankun immediately looked at Jiuzhi.

"I will."

Jiuzhi also nodded and agreed without any hesitation.

She did not plan to curry favor with someone like her third junior brother did, but she could see how much her master valued her as the successor.

The three of them all became Zhao Qiankun's disciples in various ways, but none of them could inherit Zhao Qiankun's mantle.

Both she and her senior brother Dong Liusheng have always felt a little guilty about this matter.

Now that Lin Xuan can accomplish this task for them, she will naturally help him wholeheartedly. She believes that if the senior brother were here, he would do the same as her.
