"..."

Although Ye Qingzhou's words make sense, a sword speed of seventy times the speed of sound is still too outrageous; this is simply not something humans can achieve.

Not to mention whether the sword can withstand it, the key is that a person definitely can't.

Ye Qingzhou, however, has a different opinion: "Right now, my body cannot withstand such speed, but as long as I keep strengthening my physique, there will come a day when I can bear it. When that time comes, my swordsmanship will be unparalleled, invincible in the world."

Leon, standing nearby, quipped: "Not just invincible in the world, I think even beings from the heavens might not be able to match you, Master Ye. Seventy Mach, isn't that exceeding the third cosmic velocity?"

Other martial arts prodigies mostly just want to ascend to the heavens.

Ye Qingzhou is different; he not only wants to ascend to the heavens but also stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun!

If an object's speed can reach forty-nine Mach, it can fly out of the solar system.

And Ye Qingzhou?

He wants his sword speed to reach seventy Mach!

Leon feels Ye Qingzhou is even more eccentric than him, after all, normal people don't think of flying out of the solar system with their own bodies.

That's my Master Ye!

Afterwards, everyone finished dinner and began discussing the arrangements for the Phoenix Cup martial arts tournament.

"This 'Phoenix Cup' is different from those private commercial competitions; the participating teams will be martial arts geniuses from the whole of Xiang Province, and there will be a gathering of strong contenders. Strange tactics and strategies will emerge, so everyone must be cautious to avoid capsizing in the gutter," Xu Lan reminded the group.

Competitions like the Cyan Wave Sword Fighting Competition and the Cloud Dream Spear Competition can be broadcasted and attract attention, but the intensity of the competition cannot compare to the Phoenix Cup.

After all, the caliber of the participants is fundamentally different.

The participants of the Cyan Wave Sword Fighting Competition primarily focus on swordsmanship, and the Cloud Dream Spear Competition is a contest among martial artists using long weapons.

Winning the championship might only mean being the strongest in a specific field.

However, the competitors of the Phoenix Cup are unrestricted except for their student identity and age, meaning martial arts prodigies from various fields will gather to compete for victory.

"This battle will not only feature individual matches but also team battles."

Xu Lan began to introduce some of the rules of the Phoenix Cup, the most important being the team battle formats of three-on-three and five-on-five.

In the Secret Realm exploration tasks within the Grotto Heaven, solo efforts often fail; it is necessary to operate as a team, forming flexible groups of three or five for exploration activities.

Thus, the national high school martial arts league has consistently included team battles to familiarize young martial artists with this combat mode in advance.

This time, Xiang Province evidently plans to introduce this competition mechanism, conduct a province-wide contest, and select the best team to compete in the national league, vying against martial arts prodigies from other provinces for the final victory.

This is a completely new version that no one has seen before, so discussing tactics in advance is crucial.

Throughout Linjiang First High School, Ye Qingzhou is the strongest main force and the absolute core of the team, so Xu Yuebing wants to develop a strategy centered around Ye Qingzhou: "What do you think is the best way for us to cooperate with you?"

Ye Qingzhou thought seriously for a moment and replied: "I'm invincible, do as you wish."

"!!!"

Xu Yuebing held her forehead: "Ye Qingzhou, I know you're strong, but there is always someone stronger. If you underestimate other opponents and lose, you'll regret it for a lifetime."

Ye Qingzhou shook his head indifferently: "If you knew how strong I am now, you'd only feel pity for the other contestants."

Currently, Ye Qingzhou, who has achieved mastery in the five forms of wind, fire, mountain, yin, and thunder, shows absolute confidence: "In this Phoenix Cup martial arts tournament, when a genius possesses full-level talent and effort, clearing obstacles along the way, maybe they'll have the chance to become a part of my highlight reel."

"Damn, Master Ye, I'll give you half a million, delete what you said above and let me say it instead, can I?"

Leon was earnest; he wanted to act with such flair as well—it was just too cool.

Ye Qingzhou nodded: "It's possible, but I'm afraid you might get beaten to death."

"Then let's not."

Upon hearing that, Leon immediately chickened out; even as eccentric as he was, he knew that while Ye Qingzhou could say those words, it didn't mean he could too.

The next day, the dialogue continued.

This time, even the experimental classes from the junior division took their seats below to listen to Ye Qingzhou's "teachings."

Some martial arts insights Ye Qingzhou didn't think much of were pure gold to the students of Yali Middle School, providing them with great benefits.

Among the students in the experimental class was a girl with bright eyes and white teeth who stared blankly at Ye Qingzhou's handsome face.

"Yingshi..."

"Yingshi?"

Under the call of her deskmate Ling Wei, Gu Yingshi barely regained her senses, pretending to be calm as she brushed her hair, revealing a delicate face blushed white beneath her hair: "What?"

"You still ask me what? You've been staring at Senior Brother Ye; your soul is almost lost, right? Could it be that you're in love?"

"Are you looking to die? Don't talk nonsense!"

Gu Yingshi glared at her deskmate cutely and fiercely and then expressed her concern: "He might be my brother."

"???"

Ling Wei was full of question marks: "What do you mean might? Can you just randomly recognize a brother?"
