ntly, "Miss, we still have so many experts in our hands. Just send out one at random and he'll be finished."The woman glared at him. "You're saying I'm not as good as you"The middle-aged man shuddered...Gong Qingxuan's wrist trembled, and a water-blue long sword shot out with a flurry of sword light.

But just at this moment, what Ye Bufan saw was not fear, nor shock, but boundless beauty.

Yes, it's beautiful! The sword light before my eyes is truly amazing!

At this moment, he felt an impulse surging within him, a desire to plunge headlong into that azure blade of light and experience its dazzling beauty.

He had a feeling that this beauty was fleeting and that he needed to seize the moment, to embrace it as quickly as possible.

Under the influence of a powerful mental force, he suddenly woke up. The sword glow in front of him had vanished, and a pale blue long sword was now pointing at his chest.

"This..."

Ye Bufan was filled with astonishment. What kind of swordsmanship was this It possessed such terrifying power, capable of directly bewildering one's mind and spirit. It was simply too frightening.

In a duel between masters, even a brief moment of distraction can be fatal. This demonstrates the immense lethality of this swordsmanship.

Gong Qingxuan sheathed her sword, her voice still as indifferent as ever: "Well Are you convinced now"

"Master, I give up. Please teach me!"

Ye Bufan is truly convinced now, his arrogance completely vanished. Previously, he was undefeated because he hadn't encountered a strong expert like the Sect Master.

Gong Qingxuan said, "I told you your foundation is unstable, and your combat experience is too poor. Because your cultivation has improved too quickly, you have experienced very few enemies."

Whether it's your black thunder sword or your psychic attacks, they can only work when the opponent is unprepared.

You were able to defeat three of He Honglian's disciples in a row today because they were too careless, because you hid yourself too well.

If the sneak attack doesn't work, you will be the one who dies.

"This…"

Ye Bufan was speechless. It was true that he had won today mainly because of his disguise as a weakling. If the other party knew how many cards he had, then he would be the one who died.

"Since you have accepted me as your master, I have the responsibility to properly train you. From now on, you will cultivate with me."

Gong Qingxuan said: "Let's start with body technique. Your just now body technique is considered good, but it's too basic. Besides being a bit faster, there are no other advantages."

Ye Bufan agreed in his heart. Teleportation was considered an extremely powerful body technique in the cultivation world, majestic and imposing. But when it came to the fairy world, it wasn't impressive enough.

Compared to the terrifying martial arts displayed by the master just now, this is simply worlds apart.

Gong Qingxuan continued, "Do you know why the Liuguang Sword Sect is called by that name"

Ye Bufan shook his head: "Disciple doesn't know!"

Gong Qingxuan said, "My sect excels in the sword dao, and it stands on the sword, so it is called Jianzong."

And these two words, "liú guāng" (flowing light), are known by few. They originate from a secret martial art passed down within the sect—a technique called "liúguāng fúyǐng" (flowing light and flickering shadow).

"Is that the martial arts technique Master just used"

Gong Qingxuan nodded. "Liu Guang Fu Ying is the top-level body technique of my Liu Guang Jian Zong. Not only is it incredibly fast, but it also has features that other body techniques lack: leaving an afterimage."

Although the true self has already departed, it can still leave behind light and shadow, as well as an aura, to mislead the opponent into continuing their attack.

At this point, you can attack or retreat. You can escape, or seize the opportunity to counterattack.

"The disciple knows!"

Ye Bufan nodded frequently. He had just experienced it firsthand. Although he thought he had hit the opponent, it was just a phantom, completely indistinguishable from real or fake.

This is an extremely powerful skill, far surpassing even the Shadow Clone Technique in its potency.

Even if it was his own Three Purities transformed from a single qi, the other party knew there must be truth and falsehood among them, true bodies and avatars. They had made preparations in advance.

And this kind of snapshot was unexpected, the opponent had no idea at all.

And when the opponent realizes that they are attacking a phantom, in that moment of distraction, is the perfect time for oneself to strike.

"Please teach me, Master!"

Having figured all of this out, Ye Bufan was filled with excitement. After learning this body technique, his combat power would naturally increase exponentially.

"Now, I shall impart the secret mantra of the Flowing Shadow Heart Technique to you!"

Gong Qingxuan finished speaking, her fingers danced, a white light shot into Ye Bufan's eyebrows, and his mind was instantly filled with many things.

At the same time, the immortal essence within her body was rapidly circulating under Gong Qingxuan's guidance.

It seems like just a simple body movement, but the cultivation path of Xian Yuan is extremely complex.

After ten or so breaths, Gong Qingxuan withdrew her hand.

"This is the treasure of our sect, although it is powerful, but it is also very difficult to cultivate."

You must study diligently and fully comprehend all the legal principles!

Ye Bufan opened his eyes, his face full of excitement: "Good Master, I have already understood everything!"

"Restless!"

Gong Qingxuan's tone was laced with dissatisfaction, "Although your talent is good, you should also be humble and not get complacent. How could you possibly understand everything so quickly."

"Then show me what you've got. I want to see how much you've learned."

She also knew that Ye Bufan was a once-in-a-millennium genius, and it was inevitable that he would have a proud heart. She wanted to take this opportunity to give him a little reminder.

"Yes!"

Ye Bufan closed his eyes again, reviewing the path of his recent exercises in his mind, grasping that feeling of enlightenment.

Suddenly, his body moved, appearing ten zhang away in the blink of an eye. A phantom remained at his previous location, but it vanished into the void very quickly.

And he staggered, nearly falling to the ground.

"Master, I was too arrogant just now."

Ye Bufan bowed his head, his face full of shame.

Although he managed to use the technique of "light and shadow," he couldn't do it as silently and effortlessly as the sect master had just done.

Not only was the distance close, but the time for taking the picture was also short. Most importantly, the movements were unsteady, and I almost fell.

All in all, I am still very immature and need further practice.

How could he know, at this moment, that under Gong Qingxuan's mask was nothing but shock!

Luminous Shadow is one of the highest-level martial arts in the entire Liu Guang Jian Zong. It's extremely difficult to comprehend and master.

Now, looking at the entire sect, only she is capable of doing this, even Hua Bingyu can't.

What just happened was that I was only teaching Ye Bufan once, just a single time. I didn't expect him to actually remember all the essentials and fully understand them.

Although this attempt wasn't perfect, it already shows the beginnings of a glimmering form.

This top-notch skill, which few people in the entire sect could master, he actually comprehended it in such a short time with his extraordinary talent.

Although it still has many shortcomings and is somewhat clumsy, it is after all a genuine illusion of light and shadow, a state that countless people over countless years cannot achieve.

This once again refreshed her understanding of the young man before her, and gave her a new perspective on the concepts of genius and prodigy.

In comparison, my and Hu Bingyu's cultivation talent are nothing at all.

Ye Bufan saw her silence and thought that his master was too disappointed in him, which made him a little nervous.

"Master, please don't worry, I can practice a few more times and it will be much better."

After he finished, he began practicing Liu Guang Fu Ying again, once, twice, three times, until ten repetitions passed, and he had already become quite adept at it.

Although she still can't compare to Gong Qingxuan just now, she has completely grasped the key points and is very close to achieving a small success.was also quite shocked, but compared to Wen Ding, he was much calmer."Don't be too surprised, brother. After all, this is only a first-order artifact. The level of refinement is relatively low, and th...
