Anyone Who Can Cultivate the Sword-Heart Integration Is Not a Bad Person

The moment he saw the light in Feng Xia's eyes, Lei Shao almost could not hide his shock. He yelled out on the spot, "Sword-Heart Integration—Oh no!"

The Sword-Heart was a form of achievement in the Ways of the Sword.

Although the Thousand Autumn Valley was famous for the Three Great Sword Techniques, very few people had achieved the Sword-Heart over the years. Among the current leaders, only Lei Shao had mastered the Sword-Heart.

The Sword-Heart Integration could reflect true intentions.

After cultivating the Sword-Heart, Lei Shao's own thoughts became as clear as a mirror. At the same time, be it sword strokes or people, he could see through them as if secrets did not exist in his world.

If not for the fact that Lei Shao was not good at management and could not be bothered to interact with outsiders, the position of sect master might have been his!

However, the only clear thing he saw at the moment was that the mysterious young Mr. Feng, brought back by his disciple, not only used a strange divine power to counter his Sword-Heart reflection, but also possessed the same dazzling light in his eyes.

That was the light of the Sword-Heart which he was all too familiar with!

"You… how is that possible!?"

In an instant, Lei Shao's massive body suddenly trembled. The divine light in his eyes dimmed, as if he had lost all his energy all of a sudden. He fell to the ground weakly.

Feng Xia, who had been experimenting with the Sword-Heart, was shocked. "Fellow practitioner Lei, are you alright? I was just experimenting with a new divine power and haven't had time to do anything…"

"Haven't had time to do anything…"

Lei Shao's big square face instantly darkened.

Listen to this. Was this even the right thing to say?

However, in the next moment, he felt shocked. "Trying out a new divine power… Wait! Fellow practitioner Feng, did you just comprehend your Sword-Heart?"

Feng Xia was stumped by the question.

Strictly speaking, he had not just comprehended the Sword Heart. Instead, he had used the divine power of the Primeval Green Lotus to defeat Lei Shao, after which the "Sword-Heart" light ball dropped out and he absorbed it. In the next instant, he was in possession of a clear Sword-Heart.

"Using my attribute superpower to obtain the Sword-Heart seems to be an act of cheating, but from another perspective… Does my attribute superpower count as one of my 'talents'?"

If the attribute superpower was also considered his talent…

Using his attribute superpower to master the Sword-Heart was naturally equivalent to him comprehending the divine power

"I guess I just comprehended it."

Thinking of this, Feng Xia nodded casually. "Fellow practitioner Lei's Sword-Heart Integration is amazing. Therefore, when I cracked the mystery of your divine power, I naturally comprehended it and understood what the Sword-Heart can achieve."

Lei Shao's expression turned even darker.

After a long time, he gritted his teeth and asked indignantly, "May I ask how many years you have practiced the sword?"

After their sparring session earlier, Lei Shao had come to a conclusion that Feng Xia was definitely not weaker than him, and might even be stronger than him!

Therefore, if Feng Xia had been immersed in the Ways of the Sword for long enough, it was possible that when he was cracking the mystery of his Sword-Heart Integration, he might have accidentally come into contact with the divine power and comprehended the Sword-Heart…

It was a little hard to believe, but it was an explanation that he could barely accept.

Feng Xia immediately looked over with a strange expression. "Um… does one have to practice the sword to comprehend the Sword-Heart?"

Lei Shao's facial features immediately became twisted. "…"

In all honesty, there was something he really wanted to do right now—

He wanted to jump up and give Feng Xia a tight slap, and to shout three words at him.

You! Tell! Me!

"Alright then. I've certainly never practiced with a sword."

Seeing him like this, Feng Xia immediately shook his head helplessly. "Fellow practitioner Lei, have you seen what you wanted to see?"

Suppressing the urge to hit Feng Xia, Lei Shao took a deep breath and shook his head. Then, he nodded reluctantly and spoke with a resigned tone.

"I originally wanted to use the Sword-Heart Integration to reflect your true intentions and see what you really wanted. I didn't expect to end up helping you comprehend the Sword-Heart."

"That's all right," Feng Xia said cheerfully.

"???"

Do I sound like I'm apologizing to you?!

For a moment, Lei Shao had the urge to explode again. However, considering that Feng Xia was such a weird character, he was worried that if he sparred with Feng Xia a few more times, Feng Xia would end up learning something else from him. Hence, he could only forcefully suppress this tempting desire.

"In short, fellow practitioner, your strength is obvious. If you really want to harm our sect, I'm afraid I won't be able to stop you at all."

The corners of his mouth curled up and down as he said bitterly, "After all, you're still a hot-blooded young man, and I… oh, I think someone is coming!"

The two men looked towards the noise and saw a few nervous-looking Thousand Autumn Valley disciples walking over from afar. They carefully avoided the ground that had been destroyed during the battle. When they finally looked up, they saw two pairs of eyes locked onto them.

"Kids, did you hear anything just now? Did you see anything?" Lei Shao instantly put on a dignified expression.

"Huh?" The dumbfounded disciples could not help but shiver.

The First Elder suddenly asked them a question… Could he be hinting at something?

Lei Shao placed one hand behind his back and rubbed his aching buttock. He said calmly, "It's good that you didn't hear anything. It's even better if you didn't see anything. You guys can go now. Everything's fine here."

The disciples felt as if they had been pardoned. Without another word, they turned around and left.

"Wait!" The next moment, First Elder Lei Shao's voice sounded again.

"First, First Elder?"

A female disciple asked timidly.

Lei Shao seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly waved his hand and pointed at Feng Xia behind him. "He is my esteemed guest. Go and make the appropriate arrangements and don't snub our guest."

The disciples hurriedly acknowledged the instruction.

First Elder Lei Shao was still very respected by the disciples of the Thousand Autumn Valley.

"Wait… esteemed guest?!"

After Lei Shao walked away, one of the disciples exclaimed belatedly, "H-he… How did he become an esteemed guest?"

The reason why Brother Ye Yi sent them over was to check how badly Feng Xia had been tortured by Lei Shao.

He told them to publicize whatever they saw, or to cause some trouble if they saw nothing.

The First Elder and the Sixth Elder had never gotten along. Causing trouble for each other like this was something that had happened more than once in the past.

As disciples of the Sixth Elder, they were already extremely proficient in such matters.

However, at this moment, the group felt very confused.

Should they listen to the First Elder and treat Feng Xia as an esteemed guest of the sect?

After all, although they belonged to the Sixth Elder's faction, any powerful elder had the right to give them orders.

"Let's not think too much! This is a conflict between the First Elder and the Sixth Elder. It has nothing to do with us small fries. We're just following orders so I don't think the Sixth Elder will blame us!"

"The most important thing now is to go back as soon as possible and get Brother Ye Yi to check with Sixth Elder and decide what to do next… Even if there are any problems, Brother Ye Yi will take care of it… Wait, where's the guy?!"

When they finally made a decision and turned around, the mysterious young Mr. Feng had already disappeared without a trace!

"Oh no, I think he had already gone back to the entrance!"

…

"Bai! Cang! Hai!"

Thousand Autumn Valley Entrance.

An extremely angry voice came from Ye Yi's throat, as if it was going to turn into countless knives and swords and chop Bai Canghai into countless pieces!

Slap!

Zhu Youniang raised her hand and slapped him again, speaking in a dissatisfied tone.

"Speak like a human. Where is the dining hall of your Thousand Autumn Valley!"

"Bai Canghai! Do you think you can make me submit to you by humiliating me with such methods? You can dream on—"

Slap! Slap!

"What are you talking about? I'm the one talking to you. Why are you staring at Bai Canghai?"

Zhu Youniang struck twice more, once on each cheek.

After a few slaps, both Ye Yi's cheeks were swollen. From afar, he not only looked like a pig's head, but more like a stewed pig's head.

Zhu Youniang secretly swallowed her saliva when she looked at him.

"Hmph, you can only be arrogant now! So much time has passed. That swindler has probably been beaten to death. After he dies, you'll be the next—"

Ye Yi yelled loudly, his eyes reddened.

Bai Canghai also showed a trace of worry on his face. "Miss Zhu, the Sixth Elder has always been known for being petty. If you treat his disciple like this now, when he gets the news, he will definitely…"

In fact, something else worried him even more.

After they returned to the sect, there seemed to be someone secretly targeting them!

They had only been back for a day, but all kinds of rumors had already spread about him not doing his job well, betraying the sect and bringing back a swindler, among other things.

Now that Ye Yi was being beaten up in public, more trouble might be brewing!

"Bai Canghai! Fight me one-on-one if you dare! What's the point of relying on a woman…"

"I hear you want a one-on-one?"

At this moment.

Feng Xia looked at Ye Yi like he was an idiot as he sauntered over from a distance.

Swish, swish, swish—

In an instant, almost everyone focused their attention on him, including Bai Canghai.

"His battle with the First Elder is over? Who won the battle?"

"Are you stupid? How strong is the First Elder? How can a young man compare to him? Even if he knows a few tricks, he will only be suppressed by the First Elder…"

"But look at his clothes. Why do they look so clean? He doesn't look like he has been hurt."

"You don't understand. With the First Elder's strength, isn't it easy for him to lift something heavy as if it's very light? This guy may look fine, but in fact, he might already be covered in bruises under his clothes. Even the best medicine is useless!"

As everyone discussed fervently, Feng Xia walked up to Ye Yi and stared at the young man intently.

After a while, he stretched out his hands in front of the other party and spoke to him with a half smile.

"Tell me, which hand do you want to take on?"

…
