Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

"These two have had abundant resources since childhood, so it's normal for them to be stronger."

"If you had received one-on-one private coaching from the general from a young age, along with a lot of resources allocated to you, you would have achieved great success as well."

“Resource allocation…what does that mean?” Su Chang asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Isn't martial arts something that can be achieved simply through hard work?"

"Strive?" Yan Huan tilted her head.

"Do you think that so many cloud riders on the immortal ship aren't working hard enough?"

"Effort is necessary, but there are many more things that are more important than just working hard."

"It's like... if a genius from the genius club had been your Chinese language teacher back then, would you still be illiterate?"

"Little rascal, practice hard. Your sword manual is the same as mine."

"Although you can't fit a star core into your body for power, you'll definitely be able to take on an Emperor Bow General once you've mastered the technique."

After exchanging a few more words with Su Chang, Yan Huan quietly left the training room and went to the arena outside.

By this time, many contestants had already found partners and were practicing on the ring.

They didn't stay in this cave because they agreed with Yan Huan's fighting style; what attracted them was simply that there was a proper arena here, and the arena was free.

"Never mind, as long as the number of people increases, that's fine."

Wearing a dragon robe, Yan walked towards the outer perimeter with his hands behind his back.

Expanding the cave is now a piece of cake for him.

As long as I stay here, I don't care if I sleep or not.

As he walked, he suddenly saw a familiar figure.

"?"

A young boy is standing on the arena, sparring with three Cloud Rider instructors at the same time.

"A thief broke into my place?!"

Yan Huan quickly lifted his dragon robe, jogged to the edge of the arena, and carefully examined it.

The one standing there, sword in hand, sweating profusely, was Yanqing.

Keep in mind that this is a strong competitor for the championship, along with March 7th and Su Chang.

"Ahem, Stopstop Stopstop!!" Yan Huan jumped onto the arena, stopping the martial arts exchange between the group.

"Hmm?" Yanqing sheathed her sword and turned around.

Upon seeing that it was Yan Huan, he was overjoyed.

"Mr. Yan Huan, you've arrived."

"You've done a fantastic job here. Yanqing is very pleasantly surprised after experiencing it."

"Yes, yes." The three Cloud Cavalry instructors beside her also bowed respectfully to Yan Huan and said:

"Thank you for your contribution to the Immortal Boat Martial Arts Ceremony."

"Friend, don't rush to get close to me."

Yan Huan waved her hand, her expression serious.

"What is your purpose here?"

"?" Yanqing was a little confused, but still answered:

"Naturally, it's to improve our strength and prepare for the martial arts ceremony."

"Isn't this the same thought that everyone who comes to this cultivation cave has?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Huan was taken aback.

It seems that his own private world is indeed open to everyone.

Not good.

If Yanqing or Yunli were to become stronger here, it would be tantamount to aiding the enemy.

"Ahem, I was just asking casually."

Yan Huan put her hands behind her back and said seriously:

"What I'm trying to say is that the arena here is too ordinary. If you want to go further, it might not be suitable for you..."

"Yanqing understands," Yanqing said respectfully.

"I have carefully read the handbook that Mr. Yan Huan distributed."

"I heard that the training rooms inside also have simulated combat effects, which can simulate a version of yourself with similar strength in order to achieve a breakthrough."

"Unfortunately, Yanqing doesn't have enough points to begin training..."

"But don't worry, Mr. Yan Huan, I will go to the Ice Plains to train and try to accumulate enough points as soon as possible."

No, who told you to work so hard?

Yan Huan took a deep breath:

"Hey! Young comrade, you're too impatient; you're only seeing the surface of things."

"I ask you, what is the most important thing in life?"

“Of course, it’s cultivation.” Yan Qing’s gaze was firm.

"In order to protect the people of the Immortal Ship, we Cloud Riders should strive forward and do everything we can to improve our strength in order to prepare for future dangers."

The other Cloud Cavalry instructors nearby nodded in agreement.

"..."

"Childish, so childish!"

Yan Huan patted Yan Qing on the shoulder, speaking earnestly.

"What if you become possessed by demonic possession while blindly focusing on cultivation?"

"Have you forgotten that you were possessed by Suiyang?!"

"Now that Generals Yao Qing and Zhu Ming are both in Luofu, have you thought about the negative impact it would have on Jing Yuan if you went into a qi deviation again?!"

"?!?!" Yanqing's eyes widened.

That seems to make some sense.

"I didn't think well enough."

"Then what should I do?"

"It's not too late to turn back now! Here's what I'll do: I'll grant you and these three guys access to the facilities in the south."

Yan Huan put her arm around Yan Qing and pointed to the rest area in the far south.

"Look, that's the direction of dreams."

"You guys go in and calm your minds. Don't worry about the points. Play games, soak in hot springs, drink tea, meditate... do whatever you want."

"I see, thank you for your kindness, Mr. Yan Huan." Yan Qing nodded gratefully.

"But isn't that a bit unfair? After all, other contestants need points to use the special facilities."

“Mr. Yan Huan, I know you mean well, but as a member of the Yunqi Valiant Guard, I cannot lead the way in breaking the rules…”

"In that case, my brothers and I will head to the Ice Plains first, accumulate enough points, and then enter openly and legitimately to engage in spiritual cultivation."

“Mr. Yan Huan, then Yan Qing will take his leave now.”

Yan Qing, accompanied by several Cloud Cavalry instructors, bowed to Yan Huan and then headed towards the northern ice plains.

"..."

"Never mind, as long as he can go south afterward, that's fine."

After seeing Yan Qing off, Yan Huan wandered around the various arenas, and only when she didn't see Yun Li did she feel relieved.

"Mr. Yan Huan, what are you looking for?" Yun Li's voice came from not far behind.

"..."

Yan Huan slowly turned around, trying her best to maintain a smile.

"Young comrade, what brings you here?"

"Why can't I come?"

Yun Li looked around, took a bite of the green candied hawthorn, chewed it, and frowned, saying:

"I remember Brother Yanqing came this way. I even wanted to fight him. How come he's gone?"

"Let's put Yanqing aside for now."

Yan Huan pointed to the green candied hawthorn in Yun Li's hand.

"What are you eating? Have the hawthorns mutated?"

"Oh, this?" Yun Li glanced at the green candied hawthorn in her hand and explained:

“You were busy before, so I didn’t contact you. This was made for me by a fox-person healer. He said it was a healthy version of candied green peppers… It was quite cheap, only 50,000 credits for three skewers.”

Chapter 911 But I've got you!

"Really? That's too cheap."

Yan Huan said seriously:

"You should give him another 200,000 yuan, after all, he is still thinking about your health."

"Do I look stupid?" Yun Li raised her chin and snorted lightly.

"You're just trying to say that these three strings of candied hawthorns aren't worth 50,000, aren't you?"

"You knew that, yet you still bought it?"
