Chapter 379: Chapter 379

In fact, he himself couldn't perform this twenty-third sword. He believed that whoever could complete this twenty-third sword would definitely be a peerless genius who surpassed him.

He had never told anyone about this point, which led to the misunderstanding that he could perform the twenty-third sword. If not for too many people proving that the twenty-third sword couldn't be mastered, perhaps many more people would still be cultivating this twenty-third sword.

Now, people who generally studied the Supreme Sword Arts would choose to learn the first twenty-two swords. As for this twenty-third sword, everyone just treated it as an attempt - if it worked, fine; if not, they'd give up.

Xiaoyao had tried for five days and could only comprehend some of the sword intent within, but couldn't complete this sword move. Originally he wanted to continue, but at this time Guxing had already awakened from her comprehension.

Guxing's comprehension was different from Xiaoyao's. She only chose to comprehend what was useful to her, so what she needed to comprehend was relatively less, but the effect was very obvious.

"Xiaoyao, my Lone Star Sword has new sword moves. Take a look."

After comprehending the sword techniques, Guxing naturally integrated them into her own sword arts, creating new Lone Star sword moves. She wanted Xiaoyao to help verify her sword techniques. This had always been her practice - every move and style of her Lone Star sword arts had Xiaoyao's influence.

"Yes, demonstrate first. I'll see if it needs supplementation or correction." Xiaoyao nodded. He had also created some sword techniques for Guxing, also derived from this Supreme Sword Arts. If Guxing hadn't duplicated them, he would teach these sword moves to her.

Why didn't Guxing directly learn the Supreme Sword Arts?

Actually, it was the same thing. Guxing had already integrated the Supreme Sword Arts into her own sword techniques, which was equivalent to learning the Supreme Sword Arts.

At the same time, her Lone Star sword techniques were more targeted and better suited to her characteristics. The power unleashed wouldn't be weaker than the Supreme Sword Arts.

Simply put, the Supreme Sword Arts were like universal sword techniques suitable for everyone to cultivate, but the Lone Star sword techniques might not be suitable for everyone. Perhaps no one except Guxing would be suitable, because these were Guxing's most unique sword techniques, and also the sword techniques that could bring Guxing's strength to its extreme.

To put it another way, if others cultivated the Lone Star sword techniques, the power might not match the Supreme Sword Arts, but Guxing was different - her cultivation of the Lone Star sword techniques surpassed cultivating the Supreme Sword Arts!

What suits oneself is the best!

"Should I also create a few moves of Mo Yu Sword for the Young Miss?" While supplementing sword techniques for Guxing, he thought that the Young Miss's Mo Yu Sword seemed to have been in continuous cultivation, but he seemed to not have given her new moves for a long time.

Forget it, he'd also create a few moves for her. It wouldn't take much time anyway - just slight modifications.

Afterward, Xiaoyao temporarily gave up trying to comprehend the twenty-third sword, waiting for when he had time in the future. Life had plenty of waiting moments anyway, and those times were perfect for contemplation.

As for now, naturally they should go to the Huangpu Family first. They should still be qualified - just with slightly worse results!

The Huangpu Family's rule was that paying tuition made one a disciple. Now it was already considered an internal examination. This ranking wouldn't affect whether one could enter or not, just the resources and attention received afterward.

After another two days' journey, Xiaoyao saw the Huangpu Family. This Huangpu Family was situated on a cliff face - not on top of the cliff, but attached to the cliff face, as if suspended in air.

Without experiencing it personally, one definitely couldn't feel this miracle-like shocking magnificence. This was a great architectural miracle. Those seemingly irregular but rule-following building complexes, those suspended walkways, all seemed to proudly declare to people: I am legendary!

This Huangpu Family was very interesting!

Xiaoyao sighed inwardly. He hadn't expected the Huangpu Family to be such a place. He also wanted to research this place. Regarding architecture, he was very interested, especially this kind of architecture that conformed to natural principles.

The Huangpu Family's building complex not only didn't destroy the natural scenery but added considerable color. At the same time, it also borrowed this natural scenery to enhance its own momentum. This was definitely the work of a master.

However, Xiaoyao currently seemed to have no opportunity to enter, because he wasn't an internal disciple - meaning he hadn't paid tuition...

Entering this Huangpu Family wasn't impossible, but it was very troublesome. From the layout of this Huangpu Family, this was an extremely sophisticated military fortress with very complete defensive and warning measures. If strict, even a fly couldn't get in.

Indeed, flies couldn't get in, but people could still sneak in, as long as they knew how to utilize situations, or most simply, had inside help.

Even the most solid castle feared inside help...

"Xiaoyao, do you want to stay?" Seeing Xiaoyao's expression, Guxing understood his thoughts.

"Yes, I want to stay a few days. I just don't know if this place allows people to visit." Xiaoyao nodded. He was indeed very interested.

"Then let's stay." Guxing naturally wanted Xiaoyao to stay and accompany her.

"I can only stay a few days. There's nothing I need here. Comparatively, it's easier to collect information outside." Xiaoyao shook his head.

Undeniably, the Huangpu Family's intelligence was also very powerful, but the problem was this intelligence definitely didn't come as abundantly as outside. Moreover, accessing this intelligence source wasn't easy either. Xiaoyao didn't need to waste time on this - this time was enough for him to collect much more information.

"Oh..." Guxing responded and said no more, following toward the main gate where there were personnel receiving new disciples.

"Guxing? Registered twenty-six days ago - actually took so long. You'll definitely be at the bottom this time. Go report to Ding-class New Recruit Camp."

After checking Guxing's record, the Huangpu Family person assigned Guxing to the worst Ding-class New Recruit Camp. Generally speaking, people in Ding-class New Recruit Camp were basically charging cannon fodder or logistical odd-job workers.

The best was Jia-class New Recruit Camp for those arriving within ten days, followed by Yi-class New Recruit Camp for those within fifteen days, then Bing-class New Recruit Camp for those within twenty days!

Actually, even Bing-class New Recruit Camp basically had no prospects for advancement. The focus was on the Jia and Yi camps - they would be future military talents.

Within Jia-class New Recruit Camp, there would also be rankings. Those at the front would receive more attention. Simply put, people ranking low in Jia-class New Recruit Camp were equivalent to the difference between Jia-class and Yi-class - the treatment received would be completely different.

Would the first place this time be that Li Yihun? Or...

Xiaoyao quickly saw the answer, because registration had basically ended. Although there were still people on the road, the time they had spent already exceeded those before them. The first place position wouldn't change.

Who was first? This really was Li Yihun. Although he was someone confident to the point of distortion, he also had the capital for confidence. His intelligence was indeed much higher than ordinary people.

The second place naturally went to those people around Li Yihun. This was a group. The next group was less than a day slower than Li Yihun - also a very strong group. Xiaoyao also knew this group - it was Niu Jian's group.

People who could encounter Xiaoyao were basically those taking the nearest routes. Xiaoyao didn't know how Niu Jian's group chose this route, nor did he want to know. This wasn't what he cared about.

"Excuse me, who designed this place?" Xiaoyao casually asked a Huangpu Family person.

This was what Xiaoyao cared about. He wanted to know who designed and built this Huangpu Family. If there was a chance, he'd directly look for the design drawings - this would be more useful than staying to research.

Some things couldn't be seen after construction was completed. Only by looking at design drawings could one see them. Xiaoyao had now seen the finished product, so looking at design drawings would give him a complete concept.

"What?" That Huangpu Family person was somewhat confused, not knowing which thing Xiaoyao was asking about.

"Your Huangpu Family is too amazing. I just want to know who this divine person was who designed these things. I want to pay respects." Xiaoyao pointed at the building complex on the cliff face.

"Oh, you mean this. Many people ask this question. When I first came, I also asked this question!" That Huangpu Family person said somewhat proudly. "This designer was from a thousand years ago - the world's number one master craftsman, Lin Qiaoshou."

"Lin Qiaoshou - did he leave any works behind?" Xiaoyao asked. Regarding this Lin Qiaoshou, this was his first encounter.

"I don't know about others, but there's a Lin Family Secret Record kept in the Lin family, which only Lin family members can view. However, over these thousand years, quite a few drawings have circulated. Many craftsmen have studied these. Our Huangpu Family's Craftsman Camp also has some." That Huangpu Family person said.

"You know so much - are you also a craftsman?" Xiaoyao asked. From some details, the person before him seemed to be someone who did craftsman work.

"Yes, I'm from the Craftsman Camp. I don't like charging forward to die. It's better to make some tools for them to use. Most of these people responsible for receiving new disciples are in logistics. Those from the Military Camp don't like doing these things." The person nodded, revealing some details.

"I see. Thank you." Xiaoyao thanked him, then prepared to discuss some matters with Guxing before leaving.

The two came to a corner, because what Xiaoyao wanted to say was something that couldn't be seen by people. That's right, couldn't be seen by people, not couldn't see light...
