Chapter 295 One Day as Master; Are You Ready to Call Me Master's Wife?
At this moment, Wu Siduo and Dai Yun'er's Netherworld Hundred Claws had transformed into a storm of sharp blades.
Yuan En Hui, who was in mid-air, also swooped down, and the surrounding dark elements surged into the Dark Demon Sword.
A deep purple sword aura, over a foot long, condensed on the sword's body, filled with chilling dark elemental fluctuations.
Ye Xinglan, hidden within the dark sky, perfectly blended her aura with her sword intent.
The sword light, which had originally resembled shattered stars, instantly condensed again, transforming into a dazzling, ever-flowing galaxy.
The first and third soul skills combined to unleash a burst of power, and amidst the vast starry river, what shimmered was the incomparably sharp Star God Sword Qi.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye, with attacks from above, middle, and below simultaneously locking onto Huo Yuhao.
With Xu Xiaoyan's absolutely valid Star Wheel Chains forcibly controlling them, the scales of victory seemed to have completely tipped in the girls' favor.
Dai Yun'er could almost foresee what was about to happen.
As long as nothing unexpected happens to Ye Xinglan, it should be a foregone conclusion that her sword will pierce Huo Yuhao's body.
Anyway, the goal this time is not to defeat Huo Yuhao, but just to hit him, so it shouldn't be that difficult, right?
Thinking about it this way, once the competition is over, I can go over and act cute, and confidently declare that these were all brilliant tactics I came up with. Wouldn't that give me a legitimate reason to get close to Yuhao again?
Dai Yun'er's mind was already racing with calculations, and she couldn't help but smile slightly, as if she could already see the dawn of victory and the sweet reward that would follow.
But at that moment, an intense, irresistible chill suddenly rose from the depths of her heart, freezing all her thoughts.
Only now, when she truly faced Huo Yuhao as his opponent, did Dai Yun'er suddenly understand what absolute coldness, surpassing even the ultimate ice, meant.
That's not physical freezing, but an absolute zero that can freeze even the soul and mind.
In the void, countless dazzling ice crystals and snowflakes suddenly condensed and bloomed.
With a soft sigh, the Snow Dance Extreme Ice Domain descended with a roar.
A terrifying blizzard instantly swept across the entire Soul Arena.
The dark canopy created by Yuan Enhui was torn apart in an instant, and the Battle Arena instantly turned into a vast, white, frozen world.
Hidden within the dark sky, Ye Xinglan felt only a blinding whiteness in her eyes, and even her five senses were lost.
The Star God Sword in his hand became incredibly heavy, and he had no idea where to stab it.
"Ye Xinglan, why are you hesitating?"
A sound as clear as metal and jade resonated from the blizzard all around, clearly echoing in Ye Xinglan's mind.
"You knew perfectly well that I was right in front of you. So why did your sword stop?"
Ye Xinglan gritted her teeth, unsure whether she should stab in the direction she had sensed earlier.
For the first time since she took up the sword, she was plunged into such profound confusion.
The snowstorm before our eyes changed again; the endless white suddenly vanished, transforming into a deep, dark world.
Within this darkness, countless stars twinkle, forming a magnificent and vast real night sky.
Before anyone knew it, Huo Yuhao had appeared beside Ye Xinglan.
He didn't look at her, but instead looked up at the starry sky.
With a casual wave of his hand, the distant nebula immediately began to swirl, with countless stars appearing and disappearing within it.
"Ye Xinglan, you should know that the Douluo Star beneath our feet is actually a sphere-like object."
The stars you see are merely celestial bodies similar to the sun, existing billions of miles away.
Guided by him, the starlight transformed into a dazzling star path, as if the stars were being drawn closer by an invisible force.
Until a star of unimaginable size, radiating dazzling light, appeared before the two of them.
The intense heat hit him, and Ye Xinglan could even feel that the Star God Sword in his hand was like a piece of scorching hot iron.
The stellar power emanating from the sword was more active than ever before, resonating strongly with the light and heat of the star before it.
Ye Xinglan pursed her lips, large beads of sweat rolling down her forehead. After a long while, she finally spoke, saying, "Transforming imagery into concrete form isn't necessarily a good thing for our Soul Master cultivation. Overly delving into its essence can easily lead to getting stuck in a rut and risking going astray."
With the development of soul guides, humanity's exploration of outer space has never stopped.
By now, the Federation has even speculated on quite a few planets that might be suitable for human habitation.
However, the more research is conducted in this way, the more the traditional cultivation framework of a round heaven and a square earth, and the sun, moon and stars are constantly challenged.
This shift in perception inevitably raises many fundamental questions about the cultivation of Soul Masters.
It wasn't until the very end that the Soul Master community reached a consensus.
What our ancestors passed down may not be the reality of the world, but for Soul Masters, it is the safest path of cultivation.
Huo Yuhao shook his head and sighed softly.
"I don't want you to delve into the true relationship between the sun, moon, and stars. Everything has its own laws of operation, and existence is its own justification. But you must understand that your will also exists within these laws, and is part of them."
As he spoke, a long sword materialized in his palm.
The sword is entirely forged from translucent ice crystals, yet countless starlight flows within it, as if it encompasses the entire deep starry sky.
Its design was exactly the same as Ye Xinglan's Star God Sword.
The next moment, the longsword fell.
A dazzling, icy blue light traced a brilliant, star-like halo across the void.
With a single sword strike, in Ye Xinglan's perception, the sun, moon, and stars all fell at that moment, the universe was reversed, and all things returned to the most primordial chaos.
"What I want you to understand is that from now on, no matter who tries to sway your will by preaching principles that contradict your swordsmanship, no matter how correct or profound those principles may sound, you only need to do one thing."
Huo Yuhao's voice echoed in this chaotic world, "One sword strike, shatter it, that's enough."
Meanwhile, within Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, Tianmeng, who had been leisurely watching the show, suddenly froze. After stammering for a while, she said somewhat uncertainly, "When did Yuhao become so domineering? This doesn't sound like something he would normally say."
Hyotei was lazily yawning when she heard this. She merely glanced at her, reached out and stroked the fur of A-Xie in her arms, her tone somewhat bored: "Yuhao doesn't know anything about teaching swordsmanship. He simply knows that these swordsmen are usually very stubborn, and the more stubborn they are, the higher their skill level in swordsmanship."
To be honest, even having the Snow Empress teach would probably be better than his simple and crude method.
But as if he had thought of something fun, Hyotei's lips curled into a smile.
"Tianmeng, do you know who was the last person to seriously discuss celestial movements and cosmic truths with Yuhao?"
Who is it?
Tianmeng's little face was filled with obvious curiosity, after all, she did not fully understand the process of Yuhao becoming a god in this world.
"It is the Beast God Di Tian."
Hyotei couldn't quite suppress the smile on their faces.
"In the battle between Yuhao and Ditian before Yuhao finally became a god, Ditian put on this unfathomable posture and said these words. It's a pity that he was almost stabbed to death by Yuhao with a flying knife."
"Xinglan, how are you?"
Hearing Dai Yun'er's concerned voice, Ye Xinglan opened her eyes as if waking from a dream.
But at this moment, the light in her usually cool eyes became even more striking, as if it contained an entire refined sea of stars.
Ye Xinglan did not answer Dai Yun'er, not even for a moment.
She stood up straight from the ground and then respectfully performed a sword salute towards Huo Yuhao.
"Teacher, I will remember your teachings for the rest of my life and never forget them. I beg you to formally accept me as your disciple and allow me to serve you from now on."
For Ye Xinglan, Huo Yuhao's previous sword strike had exhausted all her imagination of the Star God Sword Dao.
Even beyond that, it opened up a completely new path for her that she had never imagined before.
Ye Xinglan realized many things.
The feeling is hard to describe in words, but for people like them who have dedicated their lives to the way of the sword, this enlightenment is more precious than anything else.
That's why Ye Xinglan was so determined to become an apprentice.
Only in this way can she repay the kindness of this guidance.
Only in this way can she go further on this path.
Huo Yuhao felt a pang of sympathy when he looked at Ye Xinglan's overly formal appearance.
He was just repaying Ya Li's favor by giving her some pointers, how did things inexplicably develop into something like becoming her apprentice?
This is completely different from the relationship between teachers and students in academies.
Once someone is formally accepted as a disciple, it means "a teacher for a day is a father for life."
Admittedly, Ye Xinglan's talent is indeed top-notch, and her dedication to swordsmanship is no less than that of Ji Juechen.
Using her ability to create a spiritual realm through illusion, she only stayed in the illusion for seven days. Through deep meditation, she was able to gain insights and officially enter the realm of sword intent. This level of comprehension is truly astonishing.
Moreover, Ye Xinglan's energy expenditure was real within the mental illusion.
At this moment, her face was pale and her body was swaying, clearly showing signs of mental exhaustion.
Even under these circumstances, the first thing she did upon waking up was to become an apprentice without hesitation.
This spirit and this persistence moved even Huo Yuhao.
But the thought of all the troubles that would follow gave him a huge headache.
Seeing Ye Xinglan's serious expression, Huo Yuhao could only subtly turn his head away and give Dai Yun'er a look.
Dai Yun'er, who had long been on the same wavelength as Huo Yuhao, instantly understood his meaning, and a sly smile flashed in her bright eyes.
The next second, she swayed and gracefully arrived beside Ye Xinglan, affectionately taking his arm and saying with a smile, "Xinglan, becoming an apprentice isn't that simple. Besides, isn't my Lingbing your mentor now?"
We see each other every day at the academy, and we can ask him questions anytime. It's not much different from becoming his apprentice, so why make it so formal?
"This is different."
Ye Xinglan's answer was crisp and persistent, and her expression was unusually serious.
In her view, the mentorship relationship within the academy is worlds apart from the true master-apprentice relationship, and they are not comparable at all.
"How can they be different? They look the same to me."
Dai Yun'er didn't give her a chance to continue arguing. Without saying a word, she changed the subject and turned to Yuan Enyehui, Wu Siduo, and the others who were still watching from the sidelines, shouting loudly, "Alright, now that the competition is over, and everyone is tired and hungry, I think we should go have some barbecue for a late-night snack as a celebration."
After saying that, she immediately put on a pitiful expression and looked at Huo Yuhao, her tone full of coquettishness: "Lingbing, look, Xinglan's sword was just a hair's breadth away from stabbing you, so we've won half the battle, right? So you have to reward us with barbecue, okay?"
Barbecue at dawn?
Are you guys even going to school tomorrow?!
Huo Yuhao felt a wave of helpless frustration.
In order to dissuade Ye Xinglan from becoming his apprentice, he could only accept Dai Yun'er's offer and sighed helplessly, "Alright. But let me make this clear first: when we get back, you all have to come and help. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll be busy until sunrise all by myself."
"Yay!"
Dai Yun'er responded with a strong voice, her face beaming with a triumphant smile.
She hasn't had authentic "Yuhao brand" barbecue in a long time, and just thinking about it makes her mouth water.
Seeing that Ye Xinglan seemed unwilling to give up and wanted to say something more, Dai Yun'er quickly leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Don't rush to become her disciple."
Have you ever thought about a very serious question? If you really become Lingbing's disciple, then when you see me in the future, won't you have to consider respectfully calling me "Master's Wife"?
Upon hearing this, Ye Xinglan's cool and pretty face stiffened abruptly, and even the roots of her ears turned slightly red.
This wasn't shyness, but pure embarrassment.
She was made to call a girl her own age, who was even inferior to her in some aspects, "teacher's wife".
For the serious Ye Xinglan, this was undoubtedly even more unacceptable than defeat.
And at this moment, she finally realized that her previous guess was indeed correct.
These three pretty girls went to a guy's room late at night, definitely not to play some kind of board game.
Seeing that Ye Xinglan was successfully stunned by her words, Dai Yun'er nodded in satisfaction, and then turned to Xu Xiaoyan, who was still standing there in a daze, and said enthusiastically, "Xiaoyan, don't be in a daze, next is our reward session."
"Let me tell you, once you taste the barbecue made by my Lingbing herself, I guarantee it will be so delicious that you'll want to swallow your tongue."
