Chapter 122: Look, There’s a Sword Immortal!

“Uh…”

“What does a sniper have to do with sword mastery?”

Qilin stared at Lin An in bewilderment, completely unable to follow his train of thought.

As a modern person, she naturally knew what sword mastery was supposed to be: riding a sword through the skies and purging demons from the world. But when she thought about it carefully, if she really learned the art of sword mastery, then in the future, when she had to kill aliens, she could still use a flying sword to slay her enemies even after running out of ammunition.

There was some logic to it, after all.

“I’ve read a few fantasy novels aimed at women. Even if you really could teach me sword mastery, I’m an ordinary person with no foundation who’s never cultivated before. By the time I learned how to do it, Earth would probably already have been conquered by aliens.”

Qilin rolled her eyes at Lin An. She could not be bothered to continue the conversation and was about to return to her room to rest.

“I already told you—I can bestow it upon you directly. You won’t need to cultivate at all. In an instant, I can make you a master of sword mastery!”

With that, Lin An brought Qilin directly into the Hall of Yama.

“What is this place?” Qilin asked curiously as she looked around.

“You can call it the Hall of Yama.”

“The Hall of Yama? Am I dead? Did you kill me…?”

At the mention of the Hall of Yama, Qilin was nearly frightened to tears. She foolishly thought that she had already died.

“Alas!”

Lin An sighed. He could not be bothered to explain further. He directly exchanged sword mastery from the system, bestowed it upon Qilin, and then spent Soul Points to raise her cultivation realm.

This time, he enhanced Qilin according to the path of immortal cultivation. When she finally awakened from that profound and mysterious state, she had already become a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator.

During the process of cultivation, she also gained a general understanding of Lin An’s Hall of Yama.

She was deeply amazed by its wondrous nature.

“By the way, what time is it now?” Qilin asked Lin An after taking a shower and washing away the strange odor from her body.

“Hmm. Today was supposed to be the day you reported to the Super Seminary.”

Lin An picked up Qilin’s phone. The reminder in her notes stated that she was supposed to report to the Super Seminary at eight in the morning.

It was already past noon.

“What? Today is the day I’m supposed to go to the Super Seminary?”

Qilin cried out in alarm. She hurriedly picked up her phone, and a long sword rapidly enlarged before her.

A fierce gust of wind blew the window open. Using sword mastery, Qilin transformed into a streak of light and flew toward the Super Seminary.

There was no denying that flying on a sword was much faster than riding her little motorbike.

Lin An was left somewhat helpless. Before she began cultivating, they had agreed that she would take him with her to the Super Seminary. Abandoning him just like that was far too disrespectful.

…

At the Super Seminary, Jess gathered everyone who had arrived, only to discover that one student was missing: Qilin.

He ordered the others to call her repeatedly. Although the calls went through, no one ever answered.

“Could something have happened to Qilin? I just called her workplace, and they said she stopped going to work several days ago. Even they have no idea where she is.”

Jess had a bad feeling.

“Stop imagining the worst. An ordinary person shouldn’t be a match for the current Qilin. Send someone to her home immediately and check whether any suspicious people have appeared there. I’m worried that someone may have targeted the people of the Super Seminary.”

“Teacher, let me go to Qilin’s home and take a look!”

At that moment, Rose stepped out from the crowd. She was an experienced student with exceptional abilities, and Jess trusted her enough to send her in search of Qilin.

“Then you go. Zhao Xin, you go with Rose.”

Jess felt that it would be inconvenient for Rose to go alone, so he had Zhao Xin accompany her.

Rose did not object. She left her place and walked out of the classroom.

Zhao Xin was delighted at the prospect of carrying out a mission with a beautiful girl and quickly hurried after her.

Ge Xiaolun wanted to follow them as well, but Jess immediately ordered him back to his seat.

Jess and the other instructors waited at the assembly point outside for Rose and Zhao Xin to return. It was already past noon, so they should have reached Qilin’s home by then.

“Teacher, look! There’s an immortal swordsman!”

At that moment, Ge Xiaolun, bored out of his mind with a blade of grass between his lips as he stared blankly at the sky, seemed to have witnessed an entirely new world. He leaped straight out of his seat in shock.

“You must be seeing things. I’d sooner believe that ghosts exist than believe there are immortal swordsmen in this world!”

“Damn, there really is one?!”

Liu Chuang had not even finished speaking when a long rainbow streaked across the sky. Looking closely, they saw that it was indeed a sword, with a modern-looking beauty standing upon it. The sword’s rainbow trail was drawing closer and closer, and judging by her direction, she seemed to be heading straight toward them.

As Jess watched the approaching sword trail, his expression gradually turned solemn.

According to everything he knew, there were no immortal swordsmen on Earth. Such beings existed only in the fantasies of storytellers.

The sword’s speed was astonishing. Moments ago, the rainbow had still been far away, but in the blink of an eye, it was almost directly in front of them.

“Are you… Qilin?”

When he saw the true identity of the immortal swordsman, Jess was left completely dumbfounded.

He had imagined countless possibilities, but never once had he expected the person flying on a sword to be a student of the Super Seminary.

“Well, I’ll be damned. The Super Seminary really is capable of anything. They can even recruit an immortal swordsman straight out of a fantasy novel. I thought they were just legends, but I never expected to see one with my own eyes today.”

Liu Chuang examined Qilin curiously. He had not expected the immortal swordsman to be a beautiful woman.

Liu Chuang was not the only one. Ge Xiaolun and the others were also seeing someone fly on a sword for the first time, and they all stared at her with undisguised curiosity.

Who had not dreamed as a child of one day flying on a sword and wandering the world with a blade at their side? Now, such an opportunity had appeared right before them.

Perhaps they might even achieve immortality, just like the characters in fantasy novels. The thought alone was enough to make them a little excited.

“Qilin? Why is it you?” Jess asked curiously.

Everyone recruited into the Super Seminary had their entire background investigated in exhaustive detail. Information about even several generations of their ancestors had been thoroughly examined, and Qilin was no exception.

They had even interacted with her several times before. Apart from the abilities Qilin was known to possess, there had never been any indication that she had mastered the legendary art of sword mastery.

“It’s a long story. Something came up earlier and delayed me, so I’m late,” Qilin said apologetically.

She had hardly ever been late before.

“This matter is extremely important. I hope you won’t conceal any information from us.”

Jess’s expression was grave. This was not an ability Qilin should have possessed.
