Chapter 13: Chapter 13

In the following days, everything was quite mundane. Qin Yuyan would return the books from time to time and borrow one or two more books on saber techniques.

The two of them did not interact much. For the time being, they had not gotten to know each other yet because they both barely spoke.

That girl seemed to be obsessed with saber techniques. All her research revolved around them. Even going as far as to read autobiographies of famous people and ancient legends regarding saber techniques.

Ye Xiao did not know why she was so obsessed with them.

However, he could not be bothered to meddle in other people’s business. He only read his own books and seriously looked for basic heart cultivation techniques.

With his unremitting efforts, he finally gathered nine basic heart cultivation techniques after a month. The nine pages that recorded the basic heart cultivation techniques in the Golden Book begin to emit a weak light.

That meant that he only needed to find one or two more basic techniques to synthesize an extremely powerful heart cultivation technique.

At that point, his endurance would be greatly enhanced.

It was even more powerful than a rechargeable battery. That was because a rechargeable battery needed to be recharged after it was used up. On the other hand, he could directly absorb spiritual energy from the surrounding space anytime and anywhere.

Moreover, his basic sword techniques were also about to be synthesized.

Ye Xiao was a determined person with an optimistic mindset. He could wait to enjoy the joy of success in the end, and he would not complain or be anxious.

That day was the day the professor from Jingdou Martial Arts Academy was going to give a lecture.

It happened to be a Sunday, so there was no need to apply for leave to go to Jianghai Martial Arts Academy. It saved him a lot of trouble.

…

Today, the academy was particularly lively.

Early on the first day, the Jianghai Martial Arts Academy campus was cleaned up and a banner was displayed.

“We warmly welcome the professor from the Jingdou Martial Arts Academy, Du Changfeng, to our academy to give a lecture.”

Before nine o’clock in the morning, a large number of students had gathered in front of the academy gate and were waiting.

In addition, the director of the Jianghai Martial Arts Academy, Mr. Qin, was also waiting at the gate with a group of teachers. From time to time, he would look towards the end of the main road.

Ye Xiao did not want to join in the fun. He only nursed his drink and watched as people entered from the side of the road.

Soon, with the arrival of a few Maybachs, the crowd began to get excited.

“They’re here, they’re here.”

Ye Xiao glanced around. A middle-aged man who was slightly younger than Mr. Qin, about 50 years old, came out of the car. He was dressed in a suit and leather shoes.

“Old Du, I’ve been looking forward to seeing you again.”

“Hahahaha… Old Qin, the two of us have met again.”

“That’s right, we’ve been apart for more than 40 years. Back then, I was the one who greeted you in Jing province!”

The two hugged and they looked like they were extremely comfortable with each other.

Ye Xiao estimated that Professor Du’s cultivation was probably not ordinary. It was just that he had completely concealed his aura. Unless Ye Xiao was much stronger than him, it was impossible to see through it.

However, it was said that there were some extremely rare perception-type cultivation techniques that were capable of detecting traces of a grandmaster in hiding.

He did not know if he would have the chance to find out in his lifetime.

From the looks of it, Du Changfeng was definitely more than just a little stronger than Qin Shenglong.

The two old men chatted and then humbly gave way to each other as they walked into Jianghai Martial Arts Academy.

The students at the entrance all quickly rushed into the academy after them. Ye Xiao finished the fruit drink in his hand in one gulp. While making a phone call, he followed them in.

“Hey, Old Gu, where the hell have you been? The lecture is about to begin.”

“Uh… About that… Old Ye, I have a bit of diarrhea today. You go on and listen to the lecture first. When you get back, just tell me about it.”

“Diarrhea?”

Ye Xiao frowned slightly.

A third-grade martial artist had diarrhea?

What kind of food did he eat that was capable of poisoning a third-grade martial artist?

“Ah, just come quickly. The lecture is about to start.”

Then, a voice could be heard from the phone. Ye Xiao was about to speak when Gu Hai hurriedly said,

“Old Ye, I’ll hang up first. My stomach hurts. Ah, I’ve got to go.”

Without waiting for him to finish, he hung up the phone.

Ye Xiao shook his head helplessly.

That guy was just too unreliable.

He had not needed to attend the lecture. He just came because he promised to go with Gu Hai. Now that Gu Hai was not coming, he had no reason to be there anymore.

“Forget it. Since I’m already here, I’ll just stroll around this campus.”

Ye Xiao shook his head and walked toward the empty gate.

On the campus, Qin Shenglong and Du Changfeng walked around. As they walked, they reminisced about the past. Behind them, hundreds of teachers and hundreds of thousands of students silently followed.

All of their gazes were filled with admiration, envy, and a trace of pride.

That was because Du Changfeng was not only one of the most famous martial artists and professors in the nine provinces but also a famous figure who graduated from Jianghai Martial Arts Academy.

The two of them walked to the center of the academy and could not help but stop and look at a boulder in the center.

There were some words carved on the rock, which looked like a cultivation technique.

On the top of the boulder, there was a stone statue. It looked exactly like Du Changfeng, only younger.

“I didn’t expect you guys to still keep this boulder.”

A nostalgic look appeared in Du Changfeng’s eyes. Qin Shenglong smiled and said,

“Back then, if you hadn’t offered the Du family’s secret mental cultivation and saber technique, the Jianghai Martial Arts Academy would have declined.

“It can be said that you saved this academy.

“Therefore, after I became the director, I immediately had someone make a statue of you. I used the boulder to carve the Du family’s mental cultivation and saber technique so that every student of the Jianghai Martial Arts Academy would know and be grateful for your great kindness.”

“During the star beast riot, the outstanding teachers of our Jianghai Martial Arts Academy all went to the frontlines. There were those who died and those who were injured. Compared to them, I only contributed my family’s mental cultivation and saber technique. What does it matter?”

“Don’t say that. Those people may be great, but you aren’t inferior to them when you even went against your ancestors’ teachings to share those techniques.”

Du Changfeng sighed.

“I’m ashamed to hear this. It’s just two techniques. However, I have stayed in Jing province for many years and have learned many cultivation techniques. In today’s lecture, I will leave behind 13 extraordinary cultivation techniques for Jianghai Academy. I will do my best for my alma mater!”

Qin Shenglong’s eyes lit up.

“Good! I was waiting for you to say this. The auditorium is already prepared. I won’t delay the ceremony anymore. Please go ahead!”

Du Changfeng smiled helplessly.

“You’re still as impatient as ever. Alright, I’ll give the lecture now.”

Amidst the cheers, everyone walked into the academy’s auditorium .

After everyone left, Ye Xiao stood before the boulder below the statue.

At that moment, the Divine Soul’s Golden Book within his body suddenly lurched.
