Divine Seal: The Shadow Legion, I am the Shadow Lord.

As Li Xin processed this information, her attitude towards Yun Xuan subtly changed without her realizing it.

Originally, she only wanted to be Yunxuan's older sister, but after this battle, she has become somewhat convinced.

After all, no one wants to have someone who isn't capable enough as their boss.

At least in terms of actual combat ability, Yunxuan does have the potential to be called "brother"... even though he is still "younger brother" now.

"Alright, little monster brother trained by the 'tool' teacher." Li Xin patted Yunxuan on the shoulder.

"From now on, in the branch hall, I'll protect you... well, at least in terms of daily life and cultivation... it seems you'll have to look after me."

She said that half of it was a joke, and half of it was true.

With such a formidable "younger brother" by my side, my future training days will likely be very stressful.

Three months passed quickly.

In the training ground behind the Haoyue Palace, Yunxuan and Li Xin stood facing each other.

This has become the norm for the past three months.

After Yunxuan entered the Haoyue Branch Hall, he basically cultivated with Li Xin and also served as Li Xin's combat opponent to hone her combat skills.

However, compared to his own shadow, Yunxuan felt that his teaching method was simply too gentle.

At least he doesn't criticize others for no reason, and he will explain things to Li Xin if she doesn't understand something.

Your own shadow only has one program, so kill it.

Two months ago, Yunxuan confirmed that Li Xin was the owner of the Ghost Shadow Mask, and the mask she possessed was the Ika Mask.

However, Yunxuan was surprised that Li Xin had not yet formally accepted the power of the mask.

Therefore, Yunxuan is still unable to summon the Helmet Shadow Legion.

"Little brother, be careful! Your sister has recently gained some new insights!" Li Xin brandished the twin swords in her hands.

His light blue eyes gleamed with fighting spirit, and a familiar smile played on his lips.

Before she finished speaking, she had already started moving with incredible speed.

With one step, he launched himself into a short-range charge, a fundamental skill of the knight!

At the same time, she held two swords, one in front of the other, ready to strike, and arrived in front of Yunxuan in almost an instant!

Before the sword's edge even arrives, a chilling sword wind already rushes towards you!

Yun Xuan's gaze narrowed slightly, and the ordinary fine iron longsword in his hand suddenly shone with a layer of solid white light!

A pure white blade!

After three months of training from Yunxuan, Li Xin's reactions were equally swift, and the pure white light of her thrusting sword also burst forth!

"clang!"

Two swords, each adorned with a pure white blade, clashed precisely together!

The spiritual energy of light resonated with each other, producing a clear, ringing sound.

Both of them swayed slightly and took a step back at the same time!

However, Yunxuan's offensive did not stop.

Immediately afterwards, his longsword struck out again with lightning speed, at least twice as fast as before, like a lurking viper delivering a fatal blow!

The light of the pure white blade had not yet faded when the speed bonus of the thrust skill had already stacked up and exploded!

The two knight skills were almost perfectly linked in Yunxuan's hands!

Faced with this sword strike, alarm bells rang in Li Xin's mind!

She lowered her body slightly and thrust her sword upwards again with all her might, attempting to intercept.

At the same time, the sword in the left hand abandoned blocking and thrust forward like lightning, instantly creating dozens of silver sword shadows that were difficult to distinguish from reality!

Li Xin unleashed a lightning strike, intending to use offense as a form of defense!

However, just when Li Xin thought she could force Yun Xuan to retreat, or at least compel him to turn back his sword to save himself.

Yunxuan's figure blurred eerily before her eyes for a moment!

That wasn’t a fleeting image left by high-speed movement, but rather a strange feeling of being absorbed into the shadows and then instantly emerging from another shadow!

Yunxuan seemed to transform into an elusive shadow, appearing from an eerie angle.

He flashed through the gaps between the sword shadows, perfectly avoiding all the thrusts!

When he reappeared, he was already on Li Xin's right side, a blind spot where her dual swords defense was somewhat awkward!

Yunxuan's fine iron longsword moved with the precision of a venomous snake's tongue, pointing and flicking upwards with unparalleled accuracy!

"Ding!"

With a soft sound, Li Xin felt a numbness in her right wrist.

Then the longsword in his hand flew out instantly, drawing an arc in the air.

It landed with a thud on the bluestone ground in the distance.

The training ground fell silent instantly.

Li Xin's rosy cheeks puffed out slightly, a hint of helpless resignation in her voice: "I'm not fighting anymore, I'm not fighting anymore... I never win! Little brother, can't you give your older sister a break?"

In these three months of sparring, except at the very beginning when she could win a move or two by taking advantage of Yunxuan's lack of skill.

Once Yunxuan mastered the basic skills of a knight, coupled with his near-perfect combat techniques, she was left only to be utterly defeated.

Although Yunxuan felt that his teaching method was gentle, Li Xin thought it was almost like being a devil.

What made Li Xin feel most desperate was that Yun Xuan not only had better combat skills, but also seemed to be catching up with her in terms of skill application.

This frustratingly rapid pace of progress has almost turned her frustration into a habit.

Yunxuan sheathed his sword, and a smile flickered in his eyes as he looked at Li Xin's "life is meaningless" expression.

He stepped forward, mimicking Li Xin's teasing tone from before, tilted his head slightly, and quipped, "If you don't have the ability, how can you be qualified... to be Sister Xin's boss?"

He deliberately emphasized the word "boss".

Li Xin's face flushed red instantly, not because of exercise, but because her secret had been exposed.

She knew, of course, that Yunxuan was referring to the underlying relationship behind the Ghost Mask.

Over the past three months, the more she learned about Yunxuan, the more she admired his abnormal combat skills and terrifying rate of progress.

The less awkward I felt about the identity of "commander," the more I even began to feel that... it might not be so unacceptable?

"Hmph! What's so smug about!" Li Xin retorted defiantly.

"By the way, what was that flash you made just now? I've never seen that move before," Li Xin asked curiously.

Yunxuan said, "This move is called Shadow Concealment Step. You can learn it after you inherit the Ghost Shadow Mask, but it will have to be kept a secret for now."

Upon hearing this, Li Xin's eyes widened instantly. "The Ghost Mask has such benefits?"

Yunxuan nodded, but he was not lying to Li Xin about this.

Just recently, he was able to enter the third palace of the Shadow Temple, a palace called the Temple of Inheritance.

It contains the skills of six professions, including knight, assassin, and warrior, but they are all of the shadow attribute.

In other words, only those who have inherited the Shadow Mask are qualified to learn it.

The Shadow Step he learned is one of the knight's skills.

Of course, with the emergence of the Temple of Inheritance and his current mastery of other knightly skills, the Temple of Trials has introduced new ways to torment him.

Previously, they only used combat techniques, such as "Black Tiger Steals Heart" or "Water Melody Song".

Now look what happened, that thing just gave him a lightning bolt, turning him into a sieve on the spot.

Even if their practical skills are perfect, their skill usage is also overwhelmingly superior. No serious person would play against the Doomsday AI!

However, perhaps because the system has seen him die too many times, the matchmaking mechanism has started to kick in, and Yunxuan can now train a single skill.

Of course, he can only use a single skill.

Otherwise, the system will show him what Hafk's big hand really means!

However, at present, it is not convenient to demonstrate the Shadow skills, since they are new skills and it is hard to say what impact their appearance will have.

Yunxuan was able to use it because Li Xin was the successor of the Ghost Shadow Mask. Although she hadn't inherited it yet, she was practically one of his own.

Moreover, Yunxuan could also see that Li Xin was already interested in inheriting the Ghost Shadow Mask, and his demonstration of the Shadow Step was also to add fuel to the fire.
