Chapter 317

March 7th: "Although this girl loves watching the fun, I wouldn't deliberately stir up trouble, right?"

March 7th: "Besides, are you guys really not curious about the final result if they fight?"

Furina: "Curious!"

Hu Tao: "I'm curious too!"

Lumine: "Curious +1"

Paimon: "+2"

Mualani: "+3"

March 7th: "See, that's it, right?"

March 7th: "It's not just me who's curious, everyone is curious!"

The video continues.

[Stop arguing in front of the guests!]

[I am giving away the precious sword to add luster to the ceremony, not to hear you two arguing and hurting the friendship of the Alliance.]

[Although you both have the confidence that you won't lose to the other.]

[But arena matters are always one win and one loss, which inevitably hurts harmony.]

[I have an idea—]

[Although the winner hasn't been revealed yet, and it might not be you two, if you want to get this prize, I want you to join forces to teach an apprentice, let him enter the Wardance, and win at least one victory.]

Hearing Yanqing: "Ah? What kind of rule is this?"

Miss Yunli: "Grandfather, what are you up to again?"

Stelle: "Jointly teaching an apprentice?"

Stelle: "This is actually somewhat interesting!"

Stelle: "I think it works!"

March 7th: "Oh my, things are developing in a more interesting direction!"

March 7th: "Two sword technique geniuses joining forces to teach an apprentice; if they don't teach well, I'm afraid the two masters will lose face, right?"

Lumine: "Not just lose face, it would be a total disgrace."

Jing Yuan: "Tsk, it has to be Old Yan; he easily thought of a brilliant move that I couldn't."

General Huaiyan: "Hehe, Jing Yuan, you're overpraising me."

Paimon: "So where should we find the apprentice?"

Hu Tao: "Just find any Cloud Knight?"

Furina: "Cloud Knights have a foundation, right?"

Furina: "Not very appropriate."

Furina: "Should find a newcomer who doesn't know sword technique."

The video continues.

[Ah? How can there be such a principle?]

Miss Yunli and Hearing Yanqing said in unison at this moment!

[In my humble opinion, it is gratifying for a Cloud Knight swordsman to stand at the pinnacle of victory; but being able to pass on skills, let them spread, and benefit others is more valuable.]

[If this person can represent the Express in the Wardance with Cloud Knight sword technique and show off their skills, I will also feel very gratified!]

After saying this, General Huaiyan's eyes began to size up the Astral Express.

[Old Yan's idea is truly interesting.]

[Passing on skills shows the spirit of cooperation.]

[In this way, the winner gains something, and the loser won't return empty-handed.]

[However, who should the two of them take as an apprentice?]

After Jing Yuan said this, the eyes of everyone present turned to March 7th in unison!

[Hm? Who?? Me? Me?]

March 7th saw everyone looking at her,

and immediately showed a look of confusion.

[Just now I saw this Miss March was quite concerned about your ring sword fight.]

[Why don't you teach her the basics of swordsmanship.]

General Huaiyan nodded with a smile.

March 7th: "Eh——!"

March 7th: "Wasn't I eating melon and watching the show?"

March 7th: "How did this suddenly involve me~ ah?!"

Stelle: "Hahaha, let you eat melon, and you got burned?"

Dan Heng: "Mm, March looks very interested in swordsmanship, it's not bad to learn it when you have this opportunity."

Dan Heng: "It's a skill to protect yourself."

Hearing Yanqing: "Ah this... let Miss March be my apprentice?"

Hearing Yanqing: "But I haven't finished my apprenticeship yet?"

Miss Yunli: "What do you mean your apprentice? This is mine!"

Furina: "Haha, things have developed in an unexpected direction again."

Furina: "Learning swordsmanship from two swordsmanship geniuses, I think it will be interesting, right?"

Lumine: "Interesting might be interesting, but it should also be really bitter."

Lumine: "After all, such powerful swordsmanship definitely cannot be practiced overnight."

Hu Tao: "Then can Miss March persist?"

March 7th: "This... I don't know either!"

March 7th: "However, I always feel that General General Huaiyan might be joking?"

General Huaiyan: "I wouldn't make such a joke."

General Huaiyan: "So I might have another grand-disciple, hahaha..."

The video continues.

[...Hey? Hey! The old General wouldn't be serious, right?]

[How did you suddenly involve me?]

[I haven't practiced swordsmanship either! Zero foundation! Can I learn it!]

[Won't I be shamefully expelled from the school in the end!]

March 7th heard General Huaiyan say this,

and immediately began to get nervous.

March 7th: "That's right, that's right, if I can't learn it, I will definitely be shamefully expelled from the school in the end?!"

March 7th: "Wouldn't my face be completely gone?"

Stelle: "March, what are you afraid of?"

Stelle: "As the saying goes, if you are shameless, you are invincible."

Stelle: "If you are really expelled from the school and lose face, then you are invincible in disguise!"

Silver Wolf: "Pfft hahaha!"

Silver Wolf: "What an invincible!"

Miss Yunli: "Oh, March, don't be nervous!"

Miss Yunli: "Every swordsman starts from zero foundation."

Miss Yunli: "I'm no exception, Grandpa is no exception, and this guy Hearing Yanqing is no exception."

Miss Yunli: "So don't be afraid, as long as you are willing to suffer, I guarantee you will learn swordsmanship!"

Hearing Yanqing: "Mm, that's true."

Hearing Yanqing: "A ten-thousand-story building rises from the ground, but the most important thing is the foundation, which is the basic skills."

Hearing Yanqing: "Learning swordsmanship is not like the shortcut you imagine, it's more about one point of cultivation, one point of harvest."

Hearing Yanqing: "Diligent practice, constant research, only then can you hone your swordsmanship to a state of perfection."

Stelle: "Whoa, have you two teachers already gotten into the zone?"

Stelle: "Alright, I'm leaving my March in your hands. I hope to see her become the number one sword master of the Astral Express!"

March 7th: "Uh... heh... 'number one sword master of the Astral Express'... your expectations for me are really high..."

March 7th: "Come to think of it, there are three of us here, so why pick me instead of Dan Heng or you?"

Stelle: "Probably because Dan Heng and I are just too strong?"

Stelle: "We don't need to be taught at all!"

The video continues.

[Why not choose Dan Heng?]

Stelle pondered for a moment,

and asked with some curiosity.

[With scales shimmering and clouds being struck by lightning... with Mr. Dan Heng's skills, does he still need others to instruct him?]

Upon hearing this question, General Huaiyan

smiled and asked back.

[Uh... I suppose not.]

[Then what about me? Why not choose me?]

Stelle asked again.

[This little friend's physique and meridians are... quite unique.]

[Are you also interested in swordsmanship?]

[However, based on my many years of judging people, since you have no need to study sword arts to bolster your strength... I fear there is no one in this world who can point the way forward for you.]

[Miss March, on the other hand... is still an uncarved piece of jade.]

Stelle: "Ahem! Let me translate General General Huaiyan's words!"

Stelle: "Dan Heng and I are both too strong and don't need to learn the sword. Only March is a noob who needs to take remedial classes and strengthen her abilities!"

March 7th: "I... how am I a noob!!"

March 7th: "This lady is also very strong... okay?"

Himeko: "Hehe, that's quite good."

Himeko: "Haven't you always wanted a chance to learn the sword?"

Himeko: "Seizing this opportunity now is basically fulfilling your wish, isn't it?"

Welt: "Indeed, taking this opportunity not only allows you to learn the sword but also fosters the friendship between the Astral Express and the Alliance."

Welt: "For both sides, it is entirely beneficial and harmless."

March 7th: "That... that may be true!"

March 7th: "But this is all too sudden. Can I actually learn it?"

Paimon: "Miss March 7th, you have to believe in yourself!"

Paimon: "You can definitely learn it!"

Lumine: "Miss March 7th is so smart, there's no reason she can't learn swordsmanship."

Lumine: "Just keep at it!"

March 7th: "Hehe, you're making me blush."

March 7th: "Then let's see if I can return from my studies on the Luofu Xianzhou and become the world-renowned number one sword master of the Astral Express!"

The video continues.

[Thank you for your kindness, General General Huaiyan.]

[Miss Yunli and Hearing Yanqing were originally going to decide a winner, but now they have to turn to teaching me the sword. Wouldn't that delay their time for practicing and preparing for battle?]

[Besides, I've heard that swordsmen all have their own secret techniques. If they accidentally leak them while teaching me, and everyone knows each other's roots, wouldn't it be impossible to break their moves in a fight?]

March 7th looked at Hearing Yanqing and Miss Yunli,

feeling a bit hesitant.

[You are quite thoughtful, March 7th.]

[Don't worry, you won't be taught secret techniques without ten years of diligent practice.]

[Don't be afraid. With the power of Zhuming swordsmanship, just learning a few moves from me will be infinitely useful to you.]

Miss Yunli said confidently.

[R-really?]

Upon hearing this,

March 7th widened her eyes.

[It seems March is completely tempted.]

Dan Heng saw March 7th looking so captivated,

and smiled helplessly.

[Hehe, that's exactly what we want—to know each other's roots.]

[Winning with one move on the martial arts stage is so boring!]

[Besides, what determines the life and death of a swordsman isn't some secret technique, but solid basic skills.]

General Huaiyan shook his head and said to everyone.

March 7th: "Eh? Isn't swordsmanship about using flashy secret techniques to fight?"

March 7th: "It's not quite what I imagined."

Miss Yunli: "The secret techniques you speak of are actually sword styles you develop yourself after solidifying your basic skills."

Miss Yunli: "That kind of sword style carries your own spirit and intent, making it the most suitable for you, and thus often capable of unleashing greater power."

Miss Yunli: "Hmm, it can also be understood as practice making perfect, turning the mundane into the miraculous?"

Hearing Yanqing: "Simply put, it's bringing the sword to life."

Hearing Yanqing: "Therefore, swordsmanship is something that must be carried out with one's own realization to continuously improve."

Hearing Yanqing: "Of course, the prerequisite for all of this is solid basic skills!"

Stelle: "Got it!"

Stelle: "March, you stay on the Luofu Luofu Xianzhou and practice basic skills for ten years first."

Stelle: "We'll come pick you up when you're done."

March 7th: "Are you kidding me!!"

March 7th: "How many journeys would I miss in ten years?!"

March 7th: "Maybe by the time you come back, you'll all be Emanators!"

March 7th: "And I'll just be graduating from a sword apprentice to an ordinary swordsman!"

March 7th: "Woo, that's so discouraging just thinking about it!!"

Mualani: "That's true, ten years is too long; it's just too hard on Miss March 7th."

Miss Yunli: "Don't worry, I'm a professional. As long as you learn Zhuming swordsmanship from me, I'll provide you with a tailor-made crash course!"

Hearing Yanqing: "As if I couldn't come up with a crash course."

Hearing Yanqing: "Give me a few days to ponder, and I can also research a crash course for Luofu swordsmanship!"

Furina: "Uh... it seems that even when teaming up to teach a student, the two of them still can't avoid competition..."

Gallagher: "Ha, they're young, that's what makes it interesting."

The video continues.

[So, Miss Miss Yunli has agreed.]

[Hearing Yanqing, what do you think?]

Jing Yuan looked at Hearing Yanqing,

asking for his opinion.

[General... Hearing Yanqing has not yet finished his apprenticeship, so how could I have the qualifications to teach others swordsmanship?]

Hearing Yanqing felt it was somewhat inappropriate.

[So that's admitting defeat?]

[Fine, since you don't even have the confidence to teach, why don't I take your place guarding the Luofu's arena?]

Upon hearing Hearing Yanqing say this,

Miss Yunli immediately began to provoke him.
