After becoming a grandmaster, not only could one release spiritual energy, but one could also conceal all the spiritual energy in one’s body and not reveal the slightest bit of one’s own aura.
As a result, one would not be discovered by others.
Just as Ye Xiao walked past, a few figures flashed over from different directions.
An old woman, a middle-aged man, and an old man in a tang suit carrying a young girl.
When the four of them arrived at the riverside, their eyes narrowed.
“What a powerful saber technique!”
Even though the river water had started flowing again, everyone could still see how terrifying that saber technique was.
That was because it had spread for more than half a mile!
Other than the 600 feet that were covered by the river water, there were more than hundreds of feet of saber marks on the ground beside the river.
Just a moment ago, a white ray of light had risen from the eastern horizon. That gully had been eroded by the river water and the ground was charred a pitch black.
“Old Qin, who did this?”
The old woman was the first to ask. The old man who was carrying the girl shook his head and smiled bitterly.
“I don’t know either. I brought Yuyan to the academy’s martial arts field for morning training. When I saw some action, I immediately rushed over. Speaking of which, the two of you were even faster than me.”
The old woman looked at the middle-aged man, who also shook his head slightly.
“I don’t know either. However, I can be sure that whoever that was is very strong. He’s even stronger than the three of us!
“I don’t know his cultivation level, but I can tell from the lingering saber intent in the air and the saber mark on the ground. I can sense that with my strength as a Xiantian second-grade martial artist, I can’t defeat him.
“However, I’m about to advance to the third grade. I wonder if I’ll be able to fight him when that time comes?”
The old woman could not help but sigh.
“I can’t believe that there exists someone with such powerful saber techniques in our Jianghai city. It’s just a pity that I don’t know who they are.”
“No matter who they are, you and I have to be on guard.
“If such a powerful grandmaster wants to harm Jianghai city, the consequences will be unimaginable.”
Hearing that, the old man and the old woman’s expressions became serious.
The silent young girl’s heart was beating rapidly.
She knew how terrifying the owner of that slash was.
The three people who feared him were the strongest grandmasters in Jianghai city!
Nangong Ling, the undisputed genius of Jianghai city for a hundred years.
Ouyang Zhongyun, the director of Jianghai Library, was known as the number one female martial artist in the city.
Lastly, the number one martial artist in Jianghai city, the director of Jianghai Martial Arts Academy, and her grandfather, Qin Shenglong.
The three of them were enough to represent the pinnacle of Jianghai city’s martial arts.
However, that mysterious person alone was enough to make these remarkable people fear him.
Who… Was he?
..
At that point, Ye Xiao had already returned to the library.
Along the way, he had summarized what had happened quite a bit.
The main reason he was almost caught was that slash earlier.
The first reason was that he had been too rash. He had attacked recklessly without knowing the power of his saber technique and attracted the attention of others. Fortunately, he had managed to withdraw in time, thus avoiding the danger of being discovered by others.
Those few auras earlier did not seem weak.
Moreover, that was just the strength of the martial artists of Jianghai city. How many martial artists did the entire Zhong province have?
How many martial artists did the nine provinces have?
What about the entire world?
One had to know that within the tens of thousands of people who graduated from Jianghai city every year, a few grandmasters might appear only once every few decades!
Therefore, he had to keep a low profile in the future.
It was decided that he would develop safely in the library and never reveal his cultivation.
The second was the power of the saber technique. In fact, it was not the level of his own cultivation, but the grade of the synthesized technique itself that was too high.
In that world, the grades of cultivation techniques were the basic cultivation technique, the extraordinary cultivation technique, and the grandmaster cultivation technique.
