The second day, Zhou Xuanji brought Little Jiang Xue for the appointment.

Xiao Jinghong did not leave but still sat at the same spot in meditation.

He began to teach him how to execute two sword wills immediately. The precondition was Simultaneous Execution.

Although he attained it merely through self-discovery, since he had already mastered it, he could explain its principles quite well.

The first step was to let Xiao Jinghong execute one sword technique in each hand.

“Two sword techniques? This seems difficult. Will I lose my mind?”

Xiao Jinghong asked with knitted brows. Zhou Xuanji then showed him how it was done.

After he observed Zhou Xuanji, he fell into silence and quietly began to practice.

Little Jiang Xue brought Ah Big and Small Er to hunt and to gather firewood.

Zhou Xuanji laid on the ground and chewed a piece of grass in his mouth. His legs were crossed as he looked up into the sky and felt very pleased.

The vast blue sky and white clouds made one’s mood pleasant.

And so, he had an extra mission every day, which was to teach Xiao Jinghong.

He taught Xiao Jinghong during the day and returned at night to cultivate.

Xiao Jinghong was very patient. He remained at the same place and kept on practicing.

Time passed quickly like a horse galloping ahead without return.

Half a year passed.

Zhou Xuanji broke through to the third level of Foundation Building, while Little Jiang Xue broke through to the sixth level of Qi Nurturing.

They progressed so quickly because of the spirit stones’ help.

Xiao Jinghong had also mastered executing two sword techniques simultaneously, and he was exceedingly happy.

Just by learning dual sword techniques, his power had significantly increased, let alone if he were to use dual sword wills.

Executing two sword techniques simultaneously would catch the enemy off guard.

At the same time, he tried to execute a sword will with one hand and a sword technique with the other. Although the flow of his Qi was messed up and his sword Qi moved inward, it was barely enough for him to succeed.

“Thank you, revered master, for your guidance!”

Xiao Jinghong looked excited. He held his sword and bowed toward Zhou Xuanji, who was lying on the mountain slope.

Without Zhou Xuanji’s teaching, he could not have mastered such amazing techniques within half a year.

Zhou Xuanji waved his hand without care and said, “With your ability, it’s only a matter of time before you master dual sword wills.”

Xiao Jinghong was even more joyous after receiving his affirmation.

He leaped up and beckoned at Xiao Jinghong with his hand.

Xiao Jinghong walked over promptly and stopped before him. He asked, “Revered master, what is it?”

Zhou Xuanji raised his head and asked, “Why did you come to Gulan Forest?”

With Xiao Jinghong’s ability, Gulan Forest would not be a difficult place for him to traverse. Was he just passing by?

Xiao Jinghong sat beside him and squinted his eyes as he looked up into the sky, and said, “I have a promised battle. To become stronger, I aimed to challenge the Great Demon King in the deepest part of Gulan Forest.”

“What promised battle?” Zhou Xuanji asked in curiosity.

He heard about the demon king in Gulan Forest. Legends had it that he had great abilities and millions of demon soldiers under his command. They almost destroyed the Southern Snow Kingdom, but fortunately, the Great Zhou Empire came to their rescue in time.

“I fought the Great Zhou Empire’s Meng Tianlang, but neither of us won. So we promised each other that we will fight again a decade later at the border of the Great Zhou Empire. There are still seven years left.”

Xiao Jinghong replied. When he spoke about Meng Tianlang, his eyes clearly expressed his will to fight.

Zhou Xuanji knew about Meng Tianlang.

He was the Great Zhou Empire’s youngest Knight General. He was good with strategies and was victorious even with many times fewer troops during the empire’s war, which made him famous across the world. Emperor Yan of Zhou was overjoyed with him and raised him to the status of a Knight General straight away.

Of course, this was influenced by their connection to the Meng Clan also. The Meng Clan was a super clan that ranked in the top five in the Great Zhou Empire after all.

“Oh yeah, I have yet to know your name, revered master.”

Xiao Jinghong tilted his head and asked. He looked at the seven-year-old child, curiosity evident in his eyes.

Even Great Zhou’s prince, Zhou Yalong, was not as devilish as him.

This child will undoubtedly impact the world significantly in the future.
