Collapse Iron: The Five Heroes of the Clouds Won't Let Me Go

Today is an important day.

Yao Feng officially announced in the Cloud Cavalry that he was relinquishing his title as Sword Master.

This matter was of great importance, and news of it spread throughout Luofu in just one hour.

online.

【Invincible in Luofu】: I think Jingliu Xiaowei will definitely be the new Sword Master. Look at her strength and the label of Sword Master's disciple!

[Chang Letian Diviner]: Not necessarily. Who said that Mr. Cheng Xiao can't be the Sword Master?

【Xianzhou User_9527】: You know what, there are hidden talents in Xianzhou. The Mirror Flow Guards may not be guaranteed to get the title of Sword Master!

【云深不知荣华】: The new account upstairs shouldn't be acting like a troll here. Yao Feng Jian has already announced that Jing Liu Xiao Wei defeated her head-on!

[It's Jing Yuanyuan, not Xiaoyu]: Exactly! Hidden talents, indeed! It's mostly cats and dogs~

【Rainbow Flowers in the Sunny Sky】: Who said that? The Dragon Lord of the Wisdom Clan is by no means weak!

[It's Jing Yuanyuan, not Xiaoyu]: Are you kidding me? This is a competition to select the best swordsman, not just a contest of combat strength, okay? Does the Dragon Lord even know how to use a sword to participate in the competition?

......

The online debate is raging, and it has even escalated into a cross-domain comparison of strengths—a truly unavoidable aspect.

The person at the center of the storm was completely unaware of this, and was focused on meditating on sword intent in his room.

Cheng Xiao said to Jing Yuan, who was surfing the internet:

"Jingyuan, stop playing with Yu Zhao. Your master is about to run for office, so you should support her more."

"Oh, Uncle-Master! I'm currently using my phone to vehemently campaign for Master! Watch me debate with all the scholars!"

Then Jingyuan looked at Chengxiao with a resentful gaze.

"Uncle-Master, you still haven't told me who Xiaoyu is! Don't try to brush me off!"

"She's kind of my niece."

"But I'm your junior apprentice too! Are you mistaking me for her? Am I just a substitute for her?!"

Jing Yuan collapsed to the ground with a mournful face.

"As expected... my martial uncle has another niece outside, I'm just a substitute..."

Cheng Xiao pinched Jing Yuan's cheek, both amused and exasperated.

"You little drama queen! Don't give me that crap. When have you ever thought I considered you someone else?"

"Then why did you mistakenly call me Xiaoyu back then, Uncle-Master?"

"Because you're just as mischievous as her, only you're not as mischievous."

Upon hearing this, Jingyuan immediately pouted.

"As expected, I'm just a substitute for Xiaoyu. Sigh, I was just deluding myself."

Cheng Xiao, with a gloomy face, pulled at Jing Yuan's cheek:

"I told you not to bring this up again!"

"Master... Uncle, I'm right."

A few days ago, when Jingyuan sneaked out to play with Chengxiao, Chengxiao naturally called out Xiaoyu's name.

Although he changed his tune immediately, Jingyuan knew that this person must exist, because the longing in his uncle's eyes was genuine.

But both my master and my uncle came from the already destroyed Cangcheng Immortal Ship, which means that Xiaoyu is already...

Jing Yuan understood that this was his uncle's relative, who had passed away and whose life could not be brought back.

Jingyuan envied Xiaoyu, because her martial uncle always remembered her, his eyes filled with a fervent yet lonely longing. She seemed completely out of place in this world.

The longing in their eyes was directed towards the sky, as if they were gazing at a place very, very far away.

Jingyuan didn't know, but the deceased had indeed gone to a very far place, just like her parents.

But Jingyuan was very fortunate because she met her martial uncle, and she could enjoy his love and care exclusively.

She wasn't related to her martial uncle by blood either. If she could get past her master's hurdle in the future, she might even get to taste what her martial uncle was like.

Girls tend to mature earlier, and Jingyuan was no exception.

I met such wonderful people at the very beginning of my life that I lost interest in everyone else.

Although my uncle likes to preach and talk about grand principles, it's all for the sake of cultivating Jingyuan's mind.

When it comes to other matters, when have I ever not indulged Jingyuan?

The door opened, and Jingliu walked in, still wearing his black cloud and white robe.

"It's so noisy! I can't even concentrate on my meditation!"

Cheng Xiao chuckled lightly: "Have you rested enough? Are you ready?"

Jingliu's lips curled slightly: "It's just a formality. Who can withstand a single sword strike from me?"

This pride pleased Cheng Xiao, but also left him somewhat helpless:

"You, if you encounter a promising talent in the future, don't go all out, or you'll shatter their confidence!"

"My swordsmanship has shattered before, but only by bridging this chasm can the future be bright!"

"The path to invincibility is indeed powerful, but only if you can remain invincible forever! Otherwise, once you experience failure, this path is more fragile than anything else!"

Cheng Xiao repeatedly agreed, silently praying for Jing Yuan's future beloved disciple:

[Your grandmaster uncle really did his best, Yanqing!]

Jing Liu turned to Jing Yuan: "Today, we're holding a martial arts tournament in the army, which all the people of Luofu can see. Jing Yuan, stay by my side and diligently study your master's swordsmanship!"

"yes!"

Cheng Xiao pointed to himself: "Do you want me to come along?"

Jingliu blushed, and somewhat embarrassed and annoyed, she tossed her hair back.

"I'm not a child anymore... but if I go out to compete for fame, you'll have to be with me..."

"Didn't you ask me to learn swordsmanship in the first place so that I could become the chief swordsman?"

"Of course, but becoming the Sword Master is just the beginning, not the end. Once you become the Sword Master of Luofu, I've prepared a reward for you."

"What if I lose?"

You will not lose.

"I can intentionally lose!"

"Then this isn't the Jingliu I know."

"...My sword will not lose!"

The two looked at each other, an unspoken understanding lingering in their hearts—a happiness and bond forged step by step from supporting each other in their lives.

Jing Yuan was left standing there, feeling resentful and jealous.

She was envious, envious of her master and uncle's silent understanding, envious of that trust without any ulterior motives.

Her time with them has been too short, but there's plenty of time ahead, and this family will become more and more fulfilling!

But Jingyuan didn't expect that this fulfillment wasn't emotional, but rather that there were more and more people around!

"Everyone, retreat 100 meters! The arena is open!"

Whether watching live or broadcasting via Jade Sign, the Cloud Cavalry, the people of the Immortal Ships, and the people of the Outer Worlds were all watching. The entire Luofu region and many other Immortal Ships were paying attention.

The rising stars have surpassed their predecessors, and the Immortal Ship has welcomed a new powerhouse who will serve as its new backbone!

Cheng Xiao tied Jing Liu's hair up again, and the sleek white hair fluttered in the wind.

"come on."

"Keep it up, Master!"

"Hehe, I'll be right back."

Jingliu leaped onto the arena, standing alone as if she were detached from the world.

He slightly raised his eyes, his face cold and his voice icy: "Who wants to come up and test their sword?"

That's right, this arena was set up for Jing Liu.

No one in the entire Cloud Cavalry Army questions Jingliu's swordsmanship. If no one can defeat her, she is the Sword Master!

She wasn't competing against anyone; everyone wielding a sword was a challenger.

And she is the trial for all swordsmen!
