Chapter 61: Mind of a Swordsman


    Xinyi stared at Yue Bin with amazement. She didn''t think Yue Bin would say something like this. But, when she thought about it clearly. She realized Yue Bin wasn''t wrong. She was also a genius. She also has pride.


    If she can''t even keep up with her partner, what''s the point of being a genius? Suddenly, she realized she was already falling under Qin even before she could properly face him. She took a deep breath and spoke.


    "Junior Sister Yue is correct. I shouldn''t doubt myself and also try to improve. Thank you for opening my eyes!"


    Yue Bing didn''t mind too much as she shook her head. Instead, she was trying to make herself ready for the next battle. But, suddenly Tan Jian spoke, "But, I want a battle with Junior Brother Qin, a sword battle."


    Qin frowned for a moment but soon a dignified expression appeared in his eyes. He saw the sword belief radiating from her. This means she also has cultivated Sword Energy then he realized although his Physical Body and Cultivation are hidden, this doesn''t mean his sword cultivation is hidden, right?


    But then, why didn''t Elder Chen or Elder Wu find out? And, if they did, why didn''t they raise any question or ask him anything? He was getting a little confused.


    "Don''t worry, young master! I have to hide your sword cultivation well." Suddenly, a sound rang in his mind which startled him.


    After ire left his body, he thought he was alone but this voice startled him because it rang just like how ire could talk in his brain.


    He thought for a moment and asked ''Who are you?''


    He was using his thoughtmunication just how hemunicates with ire.


    "Young Master, let your Qi Sense enter this mysterious space." The voice rang on his head once again. But, as he was told, Qin closed his eyes and sent his Qi Sense inside his mysterious space.


    He was still unsure where this mysterious space was. But, today he found it was near his chest though it wasn''t present in the physical form. As his Qi Sense prate the mysterious space, he found the sword floating in the air.


    It looked normal. It had a fine white edge and simple hilt but the sword itself wasn''t simple. The sword that he received from that man. The man who he believes has reached the higher level of swordsmanship.


    ''You can talk?'' Qin was startled when he found out. He couldn''t help but with curiosity in his mind.


    "I am the spirit of this sword. I was just sleeping because there was nothing that interest me but young master, you have been ignoring swordsmanship for a long time. If you keep doing this, you will slowly move further away from swordsmanship. Is that what you want?" The sword trembled and the voice rang directly in his head.


    ''No, of course not! Being one of the greatest swordsmen is my goal. I----I was just lost momentarily.'' Qin clenched his fist underneath the table and gritted his teeth as he replied.


    Yes, it was shameful. He was unwilling to admit it but he can''t deny it either.


    "Young Master, do you know why I felt this?" The sword suddenly asked.


    ''Because I didn''t practice swordsmanship.'' Qin replied with a little bit of fear. This was the feeling that he rarely has. But, this time when his sword belief was at stake, he started trembling in fear.


    "Because when she proposed for the battle, you were neither excited nor willing to ept it. Remember, a swordsman can act low-key but when he is challenged by someone for the sword battle, he must ept it."


    "If he loses, he will find his weakness. If he wins, he will seek defeat. This is the mentality of a swordsman. But, after you started acting low-key, you are slowly drifting away from this mentality which is not a good sign." The sword reminded him and slowly moved to the walls and settled down.


    Qin''s Qi Sense returned back to his body but he felt sourness. Battle, one of the most important parts of a swordsman. He was drifting away from it? He couldn''t help but feel disrupted, distressed, and difort.


    After a few minutes, he asked ''What can I call you?''


    He knew he had made a mistake and if it wasn''t for this sword, he might have drifted away. And, he was also very curious about this sword.


    "Master used to call me Xiao Lan. You can also call me by this name" Hearing his name, Qin smiled in his heart and finally calmed down. The first thing as a swordsman he must do is to keep his mind calm. Only a calm mind can help him achieve a better result.


    "Junior Brother Qin, are you alright?"


    "Qin, what happened?"


    Only after calming his mind, he heard the voices of the girls. They had worried expressions on their faces. Yue Bin was even holding his mind but Qin found he wasn''t able to feel her when he was atoning over his distraction.


    "I''m alright. I was just distracted for the moment." Saying so, he turned his head at Tan Jian and said "So, when do we start our battle?"


    When Tan Jian heard his words, a beautiful smile appeared on her lips. She directly stood up and shouted "Now!"


    "Wait, wait, the food still hasn''t arrived. Let''s eat first and then we can go for the battle." Gengxin pulled her sister down forcefully and let them wait for the food.


    After that, they discussed normal things. Qin get to learn more about Tan family''s current situation and he also learned about the condition to get the second part of Divine Lightning Scripture. But, he knew this would take some time.


    He can''t impregnate them now but he will do it once they got a little bit closer. Unlike Yue Bin, he won''t hold back with them. After all, they want an heir while Yue Bin just wants to be him.


    This thought just made him giggle many times. In fact, he truly wants to settle down with them. After all, he wants to have a family. That''s his dream. After a few minutes, the food finally arrived. And, as they predicted, Qin ate all of that food, leaving few dishes for them.


    Qin was truly hungry. After the food, they paid the money on the counter and left for the battle stadium. This ce was also under Sky Treasure House and it is a sacred ce created for the youths to battle with each other.


    They could book a certain room for a few hours and fight inside. As for the damage made in the room, they don''t have to pay. Because there are many protection arrays ced on the walls to keep the room safe. Not to mention, they are already paying at the start.


    Soon, the battle starts. First, Yue Bin and Gengxin decided to battle. Both of them were ready and as soon as they entered the arena, Gengxin took out a heavy silver armor and a halberd. Seeing this, Qin frowned but Yue Bin stopped him from saying anything.


    "Junior Brother Qin, you must remember. We use what we have. I have a lot of money so I can buy this armor and use it." Gengxin nced at Qin and reminded him with a smile.


    This armor wasn''t normal armor. It was a High-Tier Profound Rank Armor. But, the next moment, Qin''s lips twitched even more. Because Yue Bin took out a powerful spear from her spatial ring. It wasn''t a normal spear.


    It was a Spirit Rank Low-Tier Spear. Seeing this, Gengxin clenched her teeth. She almost forgot that Yue Bin had talent enough to enter the Inner Court while being Qi Gathering Realm.


    "Green Dragon Armor!"


    Yue Bin shouted as she released an immense green qi around her body. This green qi transformed into small prism shape scales and ced around her body. It formed a chest guard, armguards, and leg guards.


    But, this wasn''t normal armor. Each scale was the scale of a dragon. The Green Dragon was a powerful dragon as well.


    "Lightning Halberd Art- Sky Dividend!"


    Gengxin shouted and the immense waves of lightning qi burst out of her and reached out to her halberd. When Qin saw this, his lips twitched. If he wasn''t wrong, then this was her strongest attack. But, why use it at the start?


    This was her tactic. Gengxin knew if she gives Yue Bin even a little time to adjust, she will lose. That''s why she was willing to put all the risk in a single strike and use it. The lightning qi condensed a thin coating around her halberd sharp edge.


    She raised it and rushed towards Yue Bin. At this moment, Yue Bin channeled all of her green qi at her spear as well. The tip of the spear suddenly bloomed with the green light as jade green crystal emerged at the tip.


    "Green Dragon Spear Art- Dragon Arms!"


    Bang!
