Through his experience in setting up the Illusory Array, Guan Yue immediately recognized that the library of Qilin Academy was also a formation. The main entrance of the library served as the foundation of the array, but there were as many as fifty focal points. Therefore, this formation was very solid.
Guan Yue first carefully analyzed the advantages of this formation before entering the library. The library was vast, filled with a dazzling array of books, including those on Context, Martial Realms, the Warrior Department, Mage Studies, and Mind Master Studies, all organized in their respective sections.
Guan Yue realized that he had come to this library too late, as there was simply too much to learn. His master had said that with Nine Pulse Will as a foundation, any technique could be cultivated, and it would definitely yield twice the result with half the effort!
His first thought was about the techniques from the Warrior Department. So he decided to head to the section for Warrior books and casually asked a girl, "Excuse me, could you tell me where the books for the Warrior Department are located?"
The girl turned her head and smiled sweetly; it was Ouyang Shaohua standing in front of him. Guan Yue smiled back happily, "Oh, it's Ouyang Sister! Are you also here looking for techniques?"
"Yes, Master Guan, I didn't expect to see you here in the library for the first time," Ouyang Shaohua replied with a smile that revealed two rows of neat white teeth and two dimples, making her look very charming.
Guan Yue expressed his regret: "In the past, I focused solely on physical training in the mountains and didn't pay much attention to cultivating techniques. I've been at the academy for three months now, and this is my first time in the library. With mid-term assessments coming up soon, I want to learn some techniques from the Warrior Department to deal with bad people."
Ouyang Shaohua giggled: "Yes, there are only three months left until the mid-term exams. I heard that after your exams you will enter the Inner Courtyard? It will be hard for us to meet again."
Guan Yue chuckled: "Ouyang Sister, do you want to go to the Inner Courtyard too?"
"Of course I do! But I don't have much hope for now. That girl Yin Jingjing might have a chance. You two would be a good match," Ouyang Shaohua said with a look of disappointment on her face. Guan Yue felt a stir in his heart and said, "Then I invite Ouyang Sister to join me in entering the Inner Courtyard. How about it?"
Ouyang Shaohua laughed joyfully, her face full of happiness: "You're joking! But I'm very happy. If you get to the Inner Courtyard, you must work hard; I heard that everyone there is extraordinary and their foundations are all above average quality. If you don't work hard at cultivation, you might fall behind. However, the conditions in the Inner Courtyard are excellent; you'll definitely progress quickly."
Guan Yue said seriously: "Ouyang Sister, I'm not joking. If there's an opportunity, would you come with me into the Inner Courtyard?"
Ouyang Shaohua smiled and said, "Of course! That's the Inner Courtyard. It's something you can't easily obtain." She was certainly very eager for it!
Guan Yue nodded and didn't say anything further.
Ouyang Shaohua led Guan Yue to the books on martial arts in the Warrior Department, and both of them began searching. Ouyang Shaohua introduced, "I have practiced this Ethereal Movement Technique, and it feels quite good. You can't attack your opponent while moving, but your speed is very fast. It's a necessary technique for self-defense. You should give it a try."
"Senior Sister, how many books can we borrow each time?" Guan Yue suddenly thought of this question.
"It's based on points. Freshmen can borrow two basic techniques without using points," Ouyang Shaohua patiently explained.
Guan Yue thought that learning two techniques should be enough for him. He had already used up most of his remaining points.
After repeated comparisons, he chose two free techniques: Li Zu Divine Fist and Seven Swords Sky Sword Technique, which were the highest-level techniques available within his selection range. When Ouyang Shaohua returned after choosing her technique and saw that Guan Yue hadn't chosen Ethereal Movement Technique, she felt very strange: "Junior Brother, why didn't you choose Ethereal Movement Technique? It's very useful!"
Guan Yue smiled and replied, "I've already practiced my movement technique; it's generally sufficient for me. What I urgently need now are combat techniques, so I chose the fist technique and sword technique. These two should be enough."
Ouyang Shaohua widened her eyes and said, "You plan to only learn two techniques? I've learned five techniques already. You need to try multiple ones to know what you truly need."
Guan Yue politely nodded. However, deep down he was very clear that with just the fist technique and sword technique, he could carve out his own territory! Because he had already cultivated the excellent Cloud-Drifting Flower Technique.
Then Guan Yue asked again, "Senior Sister, do you know how to obtain a stylish-level weapon?"
"A stylish-level weapon?" Ouyang Shaohua was surprised. Guan Yue had just entered the Realm; how could he be thinking about using a stylish-level weapon?
Guan Yue chuckled and said, "I'm just planning to practice with a stylish-level weapon for now. Once I reach Achieving Realm in the future, I won't need to change it."
"Oh," Ouyang Shaohua sighed in relief and said, "You can exchange points for a handsome-grade weapon, or you can achieve outstanding results in the academy assessments. For example, if you help two deans and a teacher advance to a higher realm, that would be considered an outstanding contribution, and the academy should reward you accordingly. Then you can choose a handsome-grade weapon."
"I see. Thank you, Senior Sister." Guan Yue's heart brightened, and he immediately had an idea.
After bidding farewell to Ouyang Shaohua, Guan Yue went directly to find the Dean.
After asking seven people and passing through many checkpoints, Ouyang Shaohua finally found the Dean, who was reading in his office. It was a book about ancient wars, filled with vivid descriptions of battles that captivated the Dean.
Guan Yue walked into the Dean's office. He had met the Dean once before but was too excited at that time to notice his appearance. This was the first time he carefully observed the Dean of Qilin Academy. The Dean was tall and imposing, radiating a strong Vital Energy Fluctuation, with an air of authority about him. His most distinctive feature was his long white eyebrows that drooped down to his mouth, which changed expression in sync with his emotions. In contrast, the Dean's eyes were somewhat difficult to discern.
Seeing Guan Yue come to him, the Dean assumed Guan Yue wanted to enter the Inner Courtyard early and laughed heartily, "Guan Yue, now you understand? Entering the Inner Courtyard early will benefit you greatly; you won't lose anything. So tell me, when do you want to report?"
"Dean, I would like to request a handsome-grade longsword as a reward; I want to start practicing swordsmanship from today." Guan Yue politely bowed and made his request clear.
The Dean couldn't believe it; he thought he had misheard. But upon closer inspection, he saw that Guan Yue truly had nothing on him—no weapon at all! Did he have a Storage Ring? No!
Could it be that this Guan Yue had never practiced with a weapon? But why did he want a handsome-grade weapon? He clearly was just at Entry High-Quality.
"Are you sure you only want a handsome-grade sword? Nothing else?" The Dean asked Guan Yue to confirm. Guan Yue tilted his head: "Anything else? Is there?" He looked up at the Dean and asked hesitantly, his eyes showing signs of longing.
The Dean couldn't help but laugh at his cunning expression: "Tell me, what else do you want? You know our academy has many good things."
Guan Yue was confused: "What good things?"
Seeing that he didn't seem greedy at all, the Dean smiled. He felt that this child had not been spoiled. So he said seriously, "Guan Yue, if your Illusory Array only allowed me and the Grand Historian Vice Dean to break through one major realm, I would feel embarrassed to give you any rewards. However, now that six teachers have broken through to new realms thanks to your formation, I can confidently give you some rewards. Here is a Storage Ring; it has about fifty zhang of space inside—it should be enough for your current needs."
The Dean handed Guan Yue a yellow ring while explaining how to use it. Curious, Guan Yue repeatedly followed the instructions, making the only sword inside the ring come in and out, which was quite amusing.
With deep affection, the Dean said to Guan Yue: "Child, the sword within this ring is called the Azure Dragon Yin-Yang Sword, obtained by my master during his travels. When my master passed it to me, I was already a Transcendent Practitioner, so I never used it. Now I pass it on to you. Although I am not your master, I have great hopes for your future. Work hard, young man. Among future talents, I hope to see you!"
The Dean's words made Guan Yue realize that this sword was actually a legacy from the Dean's master, and his mood became serious. He stopped playing with the ring and held the sword in his hand. As soon as he grasped it, the sword emitted a green light, which puzzled the Dean because he often reminisced about his master's deep affection for him while handling the sword, yet it had never reacted in such a way.
Guan Yue recalled what his master had said: to subdue a Treasure, one must forcibly suppress its Nine Pulse Will to make it submit; otherwise, it would be difficult to wield the Treasure. Thus, Guan Yue applied his own Nine Pulse Will onto the sword, which began to tremble violently as if resisting Guan Yue's imposed Willpower. He continuously infused his Nine Pulse Will, but the sword stubbornly resisted his control, occasionally emitting a buzzing sound that left the Dean astonished.
However, as time passed and under the powerful assault of the Nine Pulse Will, the sword gradually ceased its resistance. At that moment, the sword shone brightly, and a thunderous sound echoed in the Dean's Office, resembling both thunder and dragon roars. The sword transformed into a golden color.
The Dean observed everything and finally realized that after holding this sword for decades, he had never discovered that it was truly a Treasure. He had never been able to fully grasp it until now when Guan Yue finally revealed its true nature.
The Dean looked at Guan Yue with even more admiration and laughed heartily: "It seems this is indeed a precious sword. It's a pity I couldn't fully understand it over the years. I hope you will treat this sword well; it may accompany you for a lifetime." The Dean had already sensed that this sword possessed spirit, indicating its potential for growth and possibly becoming a Spirit Tool.
During the process of conquering the sword, Guan Yue also felt its power. The sword's inherent Willpower was quite bold, and now combined with his cultivated Nine Pulse Will, its might would be immeasurable. Moreover, he felt a connection with the sword; he could fully wield it now, making it an excellent weapon.
At that moment, Gao Yuxin suddenly spoke up: "Brother Guan, the sword in your hand has Spiritual Energy. It already contains a Spirit Tool. You need to establish dominance over it quickly."
What? Only divine artifacts have Spirit Tools! Could this sword given by the Dean be a divine artifact? But if it's a divine artifact, wouldn't it require Primordial Infant Power to wield? Guan Yue was momentarily confused.
"How do I establish dominance?"
"By dropping blood! Hurry up; it's about to fly away!"
What? A Spirit Tool can fly away?
As soon as the words were spoken, Guan Yue swiftly cut his finger with the sword, allowing the dripping blood to fall directly onto the blade. The sword emitted a thunderous roar and flew out of Guan Yue's hand, soaring into the air, its body trembling and struggling incessantly.
The dean was stunned; he could hardly believe that the sword he had possessed for decades could fly on its own. It seemed to have developed a spirit?! How did Guan Yue figure this out?
Gao Yuxin spoke again, "Quick, use the blood mist to attack it, make one last effort."
Guan Yue immediately stirred his bloodline and spewed forth a thick mist of blood, surrounding the sword with it, the blade drenched in deep crimson. The Azure Dragon Yin-Yang Sword still refused to yield, continuing to struggle fiercely in the air, roaring like a dragon in a continuous series of thunderous sounds.
In a moment of urgency, Guan Yue spat a mouthful of fresh blood onto his hand and jumped up to grasp the sword. He felt a surge of palpitations in his heart.
His heart nearly shattered from the intensity, so he firmly declared, "Please, Azure Dragon Yin-Yang Sword, submit to me. I will not tarnish your noble name; I will take pride in you, spread your fame, and stand by your side. In battle, I will face death without fear!" As he spoke these words, Guan Yue's eyes shone with maturity and unwavering willpower, even causing the dean—a Great Power of the Miraculous Realm—to feel a hint of terrifying intimidation.
Gradually, the sword calmed down. When Guan Yue looked at the Azure Dragon Yin-Yang Sword again, he saw a dragon totem appear on its blade—one side depicted a raised dragon shape while the other showed an indented dragon shape. Only then did the dean understand why this sword was called the Yin Yang Sword.
Watching Guan Yue's efforts to conquer the sword, the dean was deeply impressed. This child not only had great fortune but also knew how to seize opportunities; he acted decisively and took responsibility. To be able to make the sword recognize him as its master—what a remarkable talent!
Guan Yue gazed lovingly at the sword in his hand and immediately bowed to the dean, saying, "Thank you so much for bestowing such a treasure upon me; I am forever grateful. I will repay this kindness in due time."
Upon hearing Guan Yue's promise of repayment, the dean smiled. He found himself increasingly fond of Guan Yue and felt that since he had said this now, perhaps he would receive something in return for today's events in the future.
