Xiao Qixiu was thoroughly shocked. He'd thought the kid's "Sword Soaring Technique in Reverse" was already the greatest out of what Xu Xiaoshou had acquired, not realizing that said technique was but the beginning.

"I understand how 'All Things are Swords' is at work now, but how is it possible that even Mu Zixi is emanating sword will? Just what the hell is happening right now?

From Xu Xiaoshou's perspective, anything and anyone could indeed be a vessel for "All Things are Swords," but then again, he was still only half-way through his research.

Using his Spiritual Energy, he expelled the seed Mu Zixi had secretly planted in him, causing a startled expression to appear on her face, as she knew that her cover was blown.
