Chapter 576: 348
“Alright, let’s apply together.”
Shen Ye pulled out his card and sent an application.
The card now looked completely different from before.
Shen Ye’s card had an additional star, and beside it was the mark of a “Tarot Holder.”
——This ant he held an original “The Tarot Tower Deck.”
With this status, his card responses and treatnt were faster than others whenever he used his card for anything.
...
As soon as he sent the application, a voice ca from the card:
“Application approved, please wait for transport at the plaza.”
A voice also ca from Nangong Sirui’s side:
“Your family forbids you from entering the Nightmare World today, please be aware, your father is en route to your school.”
“What? He’s coming?” Nangong Sirui was sowhat surprised.
The Nangong Family was one of the Five Great Families, and when the Family Head personally visited, even the school had to make special arrangents to receive him.
Out of courtesy, Nangong Sirui had to wait for his father to arrive before making any plans.
He resentfully retracted his card and continued to bury his head in eating his buns.
A voice ca from Xiao ngyu’s card:
“Your family has communicated with the school and believes that your safety is of greater importance at this ti, please contact your family, or after careful consideration, submit your application again.”
“Reapply,” Xiao ngyu said.
“Application failed, please contact your family mbers.”
Xiao ngyu took out her phone and dialed a number.
“Grandfather, I want to go,”
she said.
An elderly voice ca through the receiver:
“Ha ha, isn’t it too hasty, girl? You need to stabilize your strength further.”
Xiao ngyu insisted, “I’ve co upon so opportunities, and my swordsmanship has just entered a new realm, which requires honing. I ask for your blessing, Grandfather.”
“A new realm?” the elderly voice was steady and strong, “Then can you take one sword strike from ?”
“Yes,” Xiao ngyu said.
“Granddaughter, sotis, I really need to give you a setback, to help you better understand yourself, to understand the world.”
“——I hope you don’t get discouraged by it.”
Before the voice had even faded,
a streak of sword light broke through the window, stabbing directly at Xiao ngyu’s forehead.
Clang!
Xiao ngyu sohow moved slightly, and the sword light disappeared.
Shen Ye and Nangong Sirui couldn’t help but exclaim at the sa ti:
“Beautiful!”
Xiao ngyu was now holding a drawn long sword in her hand, none other than her “Luo Shen.”
She was holding the scabbard in reverse.
——Inside the scabbard was another sword.
What happened was, in that split second, she had not attempted to block with her hand; instead, she had t the incoming long sword with her scabbard with milliter precision, inserting the Flying Sword into it.
What incredible perception and what astounding technique!
The enemy’s sword was now under control.
Her own sword was still in her hand.
The victor was clear!
The voice of the elder ca from the phone:
“What kind of swordsmanship is this?”
“Basic swordsmanship,” Xiao ngyu said.
“How did you know the position of my sword strike?” the elder asked.
“Because you are a master,” Xiao ngyu said.
Expert.
Every ti the sword is drawn, it’s absolutely ruthless, accurate, and stable, never missing its target.
When aiming for your brow, it would never hit the nose.
So Xiao ngyu only needs to know that the opponent’s sword is thrusting at her brow to be able to sheathe her own sword.
“Too cunning, it can only be seen as preempting an unprepared opponent—if I were to aim an inch to the left of your brow, what then?”
The elder questioned further.
“We agreed to only cross swords once,” Xiao ngyu said.
“Is this the result of your calculation? But this kind of trickery can only be used once, what will you do afterward?” the elder asked.
Waving the Luo Shen Sword casually, Xiao ngyu spoke:
“Grandfather, if you were here just now, you would not only have lost your Flying Sword, you would have also lost your head.”
“—In the matter of life and death, I only need to win once, and that’s enough.”
The elder remained silent for a long while, then suddenly burst into laughter:
“So, you only made a half move, and it was a defensive one at that. As for the offensive half, you have yet to show it?”
“Yes,” Xiao ngyu said.
The elder said: “Your swordsmanship—”
“The swordsmanship hasn’t changed,” Xiao ngyu interrupted, “but my heart has.”
“A sword-wielder whose heart has changed, go then. Hone your swordsmanship, and once you are done with everything, co back to see . I want to hear your story,” the elder instructed.
“Thank you, Grandfather,” Xiao ngyu said.
The phone call was disconnected.
A voice erged from the card:
“Application approved, please wait for teleportation at the square.”
She looked toward Shen Ye.
“Shall we go?”
“Let’s go!”
The two left the dormitory building.
Only Nangong Sirui was left sitting at the desk, continuing to eat his stead buns.
“This is so boring. A master like myself gets left behind here, unable to play in the Nightmare World, tsk.”
He muttered discontentedly and pulled out his card again, took a deep breath, and began contacting people on his address book.
After a few monts.
A deep, heavy male voice sounded from the card:
“I’m almost at your school, what’s up?”
“How much longer till you arrive?” Nangong Sirui asked.
“A few minutes.”
“Good, let’s et quickly. I want to go to the Nightmare World.”
“Not today.”
“Why not!”
“The Nightmare World is… very dangerous today. Stay put in school,” the male voice said with an air of finality.
Nangong Sirui frowned, then quickly relaxed his brow and lowered his voice:
“What exactly happened in the Nightmare World?”
The deep voice spoke again: “I’ll tell you when I get there, but for now, it’s extrely perilous. You are absolutely forbidden to go today—this is highly confidential, you mustn’t tell anyone.”
“Don’t worry, Dad, I can keep my mouth shut,” he assured.
“Good, that’s right. You are to inherit the position of the Nangong Family Head in the future, rember to always be cautious with your words and actions.”
“Understood!”
On the square.
Shen Ye checked his card and murmured:
“The Nightmare World is very dangerous today, this is highly confidential, you must tell no one, always be cautious with your words and actions.”
