Chapter 279 Apprentice

When Jiang Xiao and Yi Qingchen walked back to his exclusive courtyard, they found a tall figure standing at the gate, waiting for Jiang Xiao's return.

"Xiao Tao?" Yi Qingchen looked at Chen Lingtao with a suspicious expression and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Chen Lingtao looked a little embarrassed and touched his head sheepishly, "Hehe."

Yi Qingchen immediately remembered something, so she stopped talking and followed Jiang Xiao into the courtyard. After seeing him to the door, she bid farewell, "Get some rest. I'll kowtow to you tomorrow."

Jiang Xiao looked uncomfortable. As a modern person, he was still not used to this kind of action, whether he was doing it himself or someone else was doing it to him. Jiang Xiao always felt very awkward.

Jiang Xiao said, "Just serve tea. Keep everything simple. I'll start teaching you the skills tomorrow. The apprenticeship ceremony doesn't need to be too cumbersome."

Yi Qingchen nodded and said, "Keeping things simple is fine, but the rules can't be messed up. You should sleep."

With that, Yi Qingchen turned and left.

When Jiang Xiao was closing the door, he saw Chen Lingtao standing in the yard. He paused his closing motion and asked, "What are you standing there for?"

Chen Lingtao stammered, "I want to, want to learn, want to learn the giant blade from you. No, I want to learn the Fang Tian Halberd from you with Sister Qingchen."

Jiang Xiao scolded with a smile, "What exactly do you want to learn? Haven't you decided yet?"

Chen Lingtao quickly replied, "Learn, I'll learn everything. I'll learn whatever you teach me!"

Actually, for Jiang Xiao, it didn't matter. Herding one sheep was the same as herding two. Just don't bring ten sheep, because if that happened, his attention would be scattered, and Jiang Xiao was afraid that he wouldn't be able to take care of them all.

Jiang Xiao sized up Chen Lingtao and said with a smile, "What if I don't teach you?"

Chen Lingtao said with a serious face, "Then I'll just keep standing here."

Jiang Xiao said, "Oh? Are you trying to force me?"

Chen Lingtao shook his head repeatedly and said, "No, I'm just trying to fight for it, trying hard to fight for it."

"Mm." Jiang Xiao stopped teasing him and said, "Are you going the shield warrior-defense route, or the shield warrior-strength route?"

Chen Lingtao's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "Strength!"

"Mm." Jiang Xiao nodded and said, "With your physical condition, learn the Fang Tian Halberd with Qingchen. Go back, be there on time tomorrow."

Chen Lingtao: "Really?"

"Mm." Jiang Xiao waved his hand, shooing Chen Lingtao away, "Don't tell anyone else yet. I can't take care of more disciples. The two of you are just right."

With that, Jiang Xiao closed the door.

As Jiang Xiao walked towards the bathroom, he thought to himself, even if he didn't accept him, would this kid probably try to steal recordings?

Jiang Xiao had no doubt about the Yi family's ability to steal recordings.

Of course, anyone could steal recordings and analyze the movements frame by frame. The key was to have someone who knew what they were looking at.

The Yi family's warriors and staff obviously had very high levels of combat skills, so they could deduce Jiang Xiao's double blade routine based on the recordings.

Jiang Xiao smiled to himself as he washed his face and brushed his teeth. The training ground was lit by torches, but this quaint little house was full of electrical equipment, like a guesthouse...

Nothing happened overnight.

The next day, in the house on the north side of the training ground, in the main hall, Jiang Xiao sat in the main seat, looking at the dozens of people in the room.

It was obvious how important Yi Qingchen was in the family. Many of these people had rushed back from other places, showing their extreme importance to Yi Qingchen.

Jiang Xiao couldn't remember their identities and strengths in a short period of time. Before sitting in the main seat, Jiang Xiao shook hands with the big shots one by one under the introduction of his second uncle, Yi Zhixiao.

This room full of Star Warriors was truly a place of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Judging from the majestic star power emanating from these people, they were probably all experts.

Yi Qingchen wanted to learn the Fang Tian Halberd technique. Strictly speaking, Jiang Xiao's technique had no ancestral master. If he had to say it, the Inner Vision Star Map gave Jiang Xiao some "guidance" every time at a critical moment.

Although Jiang Xiao usually practiced hard on his own, he used skill points to brute force his way through the final stage.

Without the first step, he came to the second step.

Jiang Xiao took the apprenticeship certificates from the two disciples and studied them carefully. He nodded in a very professional manner. His satisfied look wasn't an act, but he really felt the careful preparation of the two disciples.

The next step was to perform the apprenticeship ceremony.

The ceremony: the ceremony of three kowtows. And the gift of gifts.

For Jiang Xiao, this "ceremony" was more like a shackle, forcing Jiang Xiao to treat his two disciples seriously.

Although according to Jiang Xiao's character, he would definitely do his best to fulfill his promises once he made them, this ancient Chinese apprenticeship ceremony gave Jiang Xiao a great psychological suggestion.

Yi Qingchen and Chen Lingtao were serious, and at this moment, Jiang Xiao was even more serious.

Whether it was Chen Lingtao or Yi Qingchen, their heads were very hard, and they had kowtowed cracks in the floor. Jiang Xiao couldn't sit still any longer, so he quickly got up and helped them up.

For the first time, Jiang Xiao felt what it was like to be "on pins and needles."

The two of them served tea in turn, completely changed their address, and called Jiang Xiao "Master."

Jiang Xiao took a sip of tea and nodded repeatedly, praising them repeatedly.

Although he wasn't sure what he should say, saying "good" was definitely right.

…

After changing her address, Yi Qingchen led the little pony out of the Blame Shadow Ruins.

And Chen Lingtao, as a bonus, had obviously been planning for a long time. Jiang Xiao didn't think he could prepare everything in one night. He should have prepared this apprenticeship gift in advance.

Chen Lingtao's apprenticeship gift was a Fang Tian Halberd that was two and a half meters long. Its exquisite construction process was enough to make Jiang Xiao's eyes light up.

In the main hall, during the apprenticeship process, it was impossible for Jiang Xiao to ask what material the weapon was made of, but Jiang Xiao was very sure that the cold weapons that the Yi family could produce must not only be judged by their external craftsmanship. The manufacturing material of this majestic Fang Tian Halberd was definitely world-class.

Most importantly, Jiang Xiao always had a familiar feeling about the material of this Fang Tian Halberd. It wasn't a modern industrial material from human society, but it should be…

The more Jiang Xiao looked at it, the more wrong he felt. He was shocked and suddenly woke up. He finally knew why the material felt so familiar!

Wasn't this the stone body of the Void Blame Shadow?

Due to different characteristics, different dimensional creatures not only have different star techniques, but also have different bodies.

For a simple example, Jiang Xiao had used Hua Xing Cheng Wu (Stars into Weapons) • Flower Blade to attack a Diamond-level Star Dragon in the Dragon Cave, but the sharp Flower Blade couldn't pierce the Star Dragon's skin.

In Another World, Jiang Xiao also used the Flower Blade to kill Diamond-level Undead Ghosts, and the skeleton body of the Undead Ghosts was broken with one slash.

Only the Diamond-level Undead Walker needed Jiang Xiao to bless it with the "Holy Power Seal" before he could use the Flower Blade to shatter its body.

Here comes the point!

Jiang Xiao had also used the Flower Blade to cut off the arm of the Void Blame Shadow in the Void dimensional space.

What was the result?

The Flower Blade shattered! Half of the Void Blame Shadow's arm was also cut off, but it wasn't completely cut off by the Flower Blade!

Compared to the Star Dragon and the Undead race in Another World, the Void Blame Shadow's level was one level lower. The Void Blame Shadow was only a Platinum-level creature.

There was indeed a gap in levels, but in terms of biological characteristics, the Void Blame Shadow's powerful body defense was far stronger than that of the Diamond Undead race, and it could even compete with the Star Dragon.

Jiang Xiao was secretly surprised. The Yi family had actually used the stone body of the Void Blame Shadow to polish a Fang Tian Halberd?

Moreover, the color of this Fang Tian Halberd wasn't pure gray-white, its color was darker!

In other words, this weapon wasn't simply polished, but was refined and compressed through some kind of modern industrial technology or the magical star techniques of Star Warriors?

At this time, Jiang Xiao had completely turned into a spoiled child. He believed that the essence of the weapon was already in place, so could he paint it with other colors on the outside? To make this weapon look cooler?

A red horse and a silver halberd, a red horse and a black halberd, or a red horse and a red halberd?

Tsk tsk… this is going to be fun!

Under the auspices of his second uncle, Yi Zhixiao, the simplified apprenticeship ceremony was finally completed.

The guests hadn't left yet and were preparing to stay for the lunch banquet. Since so many people had come from afar to support them, Yi's second uncle had to entertain them properly.

At the banquet, Jiang Xiao met many people. The two new disciples stayed by Jiang Xiao's side, thanking the guests for their arrival.

Among the many guests, there were a few people worth noting.

One was Chen Lingtao's father, and the other was Yi Qingchen's mother.

At this time, Chen's father was just an ordinary father, repeatedly urging Chen Lingtao to study hard and so on.

And Yi Qingchen's mother… arrived at noon, when the banquet started.

This principal of Yan Zhao Imperial Capital Star Warrior University was the second university president Jiang Xiao had ever met in his life.

The first was Yang Chen San, the vice-principal of the Imperial Capital Star Warrior University. At this time, he was no longer the vice-principal. After the original principal's job transfer this year, Yang Chen San had been appointed by the superiors as the principal.

And this second principal…

"Mr. Jiang, I'm entrusting my daughter, Qingchen, to you." Yi's mother, Dong Tingyue, shook hands with Jiang Xiao.

Yi Qingchen's mother's name was Dong Tingyue, a beautiful name.

She was already in her mid-fifties, but she wasn't very amiable, let alone kind. She was slender, had a high nose bridge, and her eyes were slightly upturned. Although she was a bit old, her capable temperament hadn't diminished. She looked like a strong woman.

Well, being the president of Yan Zhao Star Warrior University was definitely not an ordinary person.

Even the president of an ordinary university wasn't just a title, she definitely held multiple positions, and usually had some identity in other national institutions, and might even play an important role, let alone the president of a Star Warrior University.

Jiang Xiao nodded repeatedly and replied, "Definitely, definitely."

But Jiang Xiao always felt that something was wrong. Yi's mother's handshake quickly changed its meaning.

She was still holding Jiang Xiao's palm, and patted the back of Jiang Xiao's hand with her other hand, praising, "The younger generation is to be feared, the younger generation is to be feared!"

After this sentence, Dong Principal obviously no longer regarded Jiang Xiao as Yi Qingchen's master, but as her junior.

Jiang Xiao looked at Dong Tingyue and found that her expression had relaxed a lot, and her stern eyes had also softened. Her eyes contained a trace of admiration, and also a trace of joy.

Even… well, was this joy or love? Jiang Xiao couldn't quite tell.

Jiang Xiao was willing to regard Dong Principal's state and words as praise for him, and the joy of her daughter having a good master.

But… Jiang Xiao couldn't deceive himself. He always felt that Dong Principal's eyes were looking at her future son-in-law…

Well, this is a bit troublesome.
