I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them?

The students of the Academy include the talented individuals from various parts of the Azure Sea, as well as some sons of aristocratic families from Yuntian City, especially the offspring of declining noble families.

The Academy also has students from the Sea Spirit Tribe, who are increasingly fond of sending their younger generations to the Academy for cultivation.

A few years ago, an incident occurred in Yuntian City.

Firstly, the Princely Heir of King Qing of Great Zhou was sent to the Ten Thousand Stars Martial Academy for cultivation. Secondly, City Lord Fu Tianhai also incidentally gained a son-in-law and a grandson!

What\'s more absurd is the rumor that his son-in-law came from the Inner Domain, a surprising choice for the Fu Family of Yuntian City.

All the major forces in Yuntian City were astounded.

And those who had long admired the City Lord\'s daughter were utterly dumbfounded. Could it be that they were inferior to a man from the Inner Domain?

The goddess of their hearts had given herself to a man from the Inner Domain?

And she even had a son there?

When this news spread among the major forces in Yuntian City, many couldn\'t help but recall a past incident.

The City Lord\'s daughter had once traveled to the Eighteen States, reportedly because the news of the capricious actions of Mu Qianliu, the libertine of the Mu Family, had reached the Azure Sea. Feeling that Mu Qianliu was too unworthy, she went to punish him.

The City Lord\'s daughter pursued Mu Qianliu all the way to the Inner Domain and only returned to Yuntian City after many years.

As for the punishment of Mu Qianliu, no further news was heard.

And Mu Qianliu seemed to have disappeared. For a while, there was a rumor in Yuntian City that the libertine of the Mu Family might have been killed by the City Lord\'s daughter.

Then, after a visit to the Inner Domain, she\'d had a son?

The admirers were struck by lightning, all wanting to see the man from the Inner Domain who had won the heart of the City Lord\'s daughter.

Rumor has it that upon learning that he suddenly had a son-in-law and a grandson, City Lord Fu Tianhai almost died of anger. But what\'s done was done; he could only bear with it, he couldn\'t kill them, could he?

Furthermore, the son-in-law seemed to have a good aptitude, having broken through to the Xiao Tianren realm not long after arriving in the Ling Domain.

In the beginning, to avoid trouble, the son-in-law kept a low profile, rarely venturing out of the City Lord\'s Mansion, despite the rumors, and appeared to be very obedient to the City Lord\'s orders.

However, after the daughter\'s husband broke through to the Da Tianren realm, he started to become arrogant.

The first thing he did was beat up a princeling who had always admired his wife.

Then, he challenged another princeling, a martial artist who had just entered the refining stage, calling him trash and showing utter contempt and arrogance, which angered him beyond measure.

In the end, the son-in-law, who was in the Da Tianren realm, defeated the martial artist in the early stage of the refining realm.

At this point, all the major forces couldn\'t help but take a second look.

Upon his breakthrough to the Refining God Heavenly Man realm, the son-in-law became even more arrogant, looking down on everyone as trash, and beat up all the people who had once admired his wife.

And the city lord\'s grandson gradually showed his prowess, defeating one princely heir after another.

However, the city lord\'s grandson now belonged to the fallen talent. As glorious as he was in the past, he was now in a sorry state, surpassed by his previous subordinates and ridiculed by them.

His strength no longer advanced at all; he became a representative of wastes.

The words, "A momentarily talented is not always talented and could also be a waste, just like the son of the Sword King," even started circulating in Yuntian City, being propagated by those bearing grudges.

The brilliance of the Sword King\'s son faded, but the Sword King himself became more and more arrogant, living up to his name.

He even once despised his father-in-law and ended up getting a good beating.

In the City Lord\'s Mansion, within a small courtyard.

A young man was sitting cross-legged on a pond in the courtyard with a sword horizontally on his knees. The swirling Sword Intent around him generated wave-like sounds, which emanated from the Sword Intent.

"What kind of martial arts have you let my Fang\'er practice? Now he\'s stuck at his current level!"

At the courtyard entrance, a beautiful woman, hand on her hip, complained to Xie Tianheng.

She was the daughter of Fu Tianhai, Fu Yun.

Xie Tianheng grinned, "He chose it himself. Besides, being stuck at one level is due to the lack of subsequent cultivation techniques. That\'s a minor problem. I will go to the Eighteen States when I find some time and bring the cultivation techniques back."

"Is that Dahua Martial Arts you talked about really that strong? Why didn\'t you memorize more techniques then?" Fu Yun was still dissatisfied.

"If I memorize too much, it would have been harder to comprehend." Xie Tianheng replied helplessly.

"Don\'t worry. I\'ll go to the Eighteen States in a few days. Although Fang\'er hasn\'t had a breakthrough yet, his sword intent is more rounded, and his understanding of the Sword Dao has deepened. Once he has a breakthrough, his strength will definitely improve."

Fu Yun sighed, saying, "I just realized I must have been tricked into venturing to the Inner Domain, I was too young back then!"

Xie Tianheng\'s lips twitched a bit as he said, "Madam, I didn\'t trick you. Everything I promised you, I have accomplished. Within the Azure Sea, regarding the Sword Dao, I am supreme!"

"Well, you\'re only showing off in the Azure Sea. I\'ve heard that an individual hailed as the Sword God has emerged in the Eighteen States. Barely in his twenties, he has already suppressed the heaven\'s chosen ones in the Ling Domain.

"Furthermore, he had even blocked the entrance to the Thousand Martial Hall to issue a challenge, killing the Heaven\'s Chosen of the Thousand Martial Hall and taking the Divine Artifact right in front of the powerful ones of Thousand Martial Hall, who could do nothing to stop him."

Fu Yun rolled her eyes as she spoke.

Xie Tianheng was startled and asked, "Such a heaven\'s chosen has emerged in the Eighteen States? What\'s his name?"

He had a suspicion in his mind: "Could it be Xu Yan?"

Directly blocking the entrance to challenge the Transcendent Spirit Sect with such brazen behavior, and moreover, claiming to be the Sword God, Xu Yan was the first person who came to his mind.

"Xu Yan, Sword God Xu Yan, he\'s rather well-known within the Eighteen States."

Fu Yun declared.

Just as I thought!

Xie Tianheng lamented in his heart, Xu Yan was indeed as expected, worthy of being a disciple of the predecessors. I still have a long way to go.

"Set a minor goal, when I have the power to suppress my father-in-law, then I can really start to act unbridled!"

Xie Tianheng murmured to himself.

"Have there been any rumors about the Eighteen States? Like anyone exceptional with a blade, or any remarkable elixirs?"

Xie Tianheng asked.

Fu Yun gave him a puzzled look, and asked, "Don\'t you already know?"

"I have no idea, I\'ve been too busy dealing with those bastards to bother learning about all these details."

Xie Tianheng shook his head.

"There is one called Blade Venerable Meng Chong who is also incredibly powerful, slightly inferior to Xu Yan. There\'s also Chang Qing Pavilion, where they say the Fairy Doctor can revive the dead and the efficacy of her elixirs is nothing short of miraculous.

"Allegedly, she can easily heal and restore those with shattered foundations, collapsed spiritual bodies, or chronic injuries.

"These rumors seem unbelievable. I\'m starting to consider going to the Eighteen States to see for myself."

Fu Yun talked about the news from the Eighteen States with an expression of disbelief on her face.

Xie Tianheng nodded, all these were within his expectations. He\'d already made quite a name for himself in Yuntian City by the Azure Sea, so how could Xu Yan and Meng Chong be any weaker?

If anything, they were probably even stronger.

He glanced at Xie Lingfeng who was still honing his Sword Intent, and couldn\'t help but feel a sense of helplessness. His son seemed to have halted his rapid advancement.

"In a few days, I\'ll take Feng to the Eighteen States for a trip."

Xie Tianheng thought for a moment and said.

"Is it for Feng\'s cultivation technique?"

Fu Yun asked.

Xie Tianheng nodded, saying, "Isn\'t the Battle of Heaven\'s Chosen beginning? If Feng goes to the Eighteen States, he will have a chance to participate. Otherwise, given his current strength, he would not be able to participate in the Battle of Heaven\'s Chosen."

Fu Yun sighed, "If you\'\'re aiming for the Battle of Heaven\'s Chosen, I\'m afraid it\'ll be too late. As you know, the strength of the Heaven\'s Chosen who can participate in the final battle must at least condense one strand of Heavenly Earth Lingji."

"That\'s not necessarily true!"

Xie Tianheng laughed.

"Where does your confidence come from? You are merely comparable to martial artists who have condensed a strand of Heavenly Earth Lingji. Feng is even further away. It\'s less than three years to the Battle of Heaven\'s Chosen. Will Feng, even with the follow-up cultivation techniques, manage to achieve the strength comparable to the mighty within two years?"

Fu Yun questioned with a frown.

"That\'s why we must go to the Eighteen States, for a chance."

Xie Tianheng said with a smile.

By going to the Eighteen States, with the help of elixirs for cultivation, and receiving guidance, two years would be enough!

At this moment, a steward hurried up to them.

"What\'s the matter? Is someone else challenging Feng? Tell them no!"

Fu Yun\'s face grew dark as soon as she saw the steward.

"Miss, there\'s someone named Xu Yan outside the city lord\'s mansion. He claims to be an old acquaintance of the young master."

The steward reported.
