All beasts submit, and the peerless imperial princess is about to defy the heavens!

Le Zhan was so happy he couldn't stop smiling. "Okay, okay, then we'll wait for you at the Formation Peak."

Feng Ning smiled, thinking to herself that she should indeed hurry up and learn more formations.

She always had a sense of crisis, as if it were right beside her.

If we continue to sit idly by and wait for our demise, an even greater crisis may be on the horizon.

She also couldn't break her promise to Elder Xingjin to break the shackles of the Xuanling Continent and set up a teleportation array.

We need to make arrangements as soon as possible.

After the two elders couldn't get any information from her, they gave up, offered her a few words of encouragement, and left.

Jinghui and Lezhan were very happy, and had an urge to take the person there right now.

Unfortunately, Nian Zhao was watching from the side, so the two of them couldn't take it with them and had to leave disappointed.

After everyone left, Nian Zhao said somewhat seriously, "I always thought it wouldn't be a bad thing for you to learn more things, but now it seems that you probably don't have that much time to learn formations."

Feng Ning was slightly surprised. "Why? I don't think I don't have time."

Nian Zhao looked at her with some disapproval, "Yao Feibai is almost mastering the sword technique, don't you feel any sense of crisis yet?"

Feng Ning looked at him with a hint of helplessness.

"Master, didn't you say that swordsmanship relies on talent and comprehension? But I haven't comprehended anything yet. Is it possible that the time isn't right yet?"

Nian Zhao waved his hand without giving a word of explanation, "There aren't many opportunities for you to wait. I'm afraid the Xuanling Continent is about to descend into chaos. You must learn more skills as soon as possible. Although formations are powerful, when it comes to truly fighting for your life, you still have to rely on the sword. From now on, come to my place during the day to practice swordsmanship, and go back to practice formations at night."

Feng Ning felt helpless, but she knew that Nian Zhao was doing it for her own good, so she obediently agreed.

After that, she entered a period of grueling training.

This sword practice was not as gentle as before; it was conducted directly in the form of combat.

She fought with Nian Zhao!

Moreover, Nian Zhao showed no mercy at all, beating her without even blinking an eye.

She was beaten black and blue every day, looking like a refugee.

Lin Tanyu would come to see her from time to time, each time to bring her pills. Every day she would see Feng Ning being beaten so badly that she couldn't even get up, but she still had to persevere and practice the formation at night.

She felt both heartache and helplessness, but at the same time, she also felt a sense of urgency.

When everyone around you starts working hard, it becomes less fun to play alone, and you may even feel guilty.

Yao Feibai has been in deep meditation for a long time in order to comprehend the sword intent, and he has not yet woken up.

Elder Wenyao took it very seriously and stayed by his side every step of the way.

Seeing that he had grasped the sword intent so quickly, Xue Feng panicked and went around looking for people to fight so he could practice his sword skills.

Not only did he panic, but he also caused panic among everyone in Wufeng.

The main reason is that I'm afraid of being caught by this madman. If he catches me, I'll have to fight him.

You can't throw the game or intentionally lose; you have to fight with all your might.

So every time people see him, they avoid him.

Those weaker than him dare not approach him, while those stronger than him fear he will pester them.

If a weak person fights once and defeats the opponent, they will stop worrying about it.

But if a strong person attacks once and he can't win, he'll come back a second or third time, pestering the other person until they're about to get a headache.

It's a nightmare for even ghosts.

When Lin Tanyu was cultivating, he always followed a gradual approach, because that's the principle everyone follows from the beginning of cultivation.

It should be appropriate and suitable.

As a result, after she got to know these people, she felt that everything she knew before seemed to have some problems.

It turns out that even if you train like crazy every day, there won't be any major problems. Even if you get bruised and battered every day, you can still improve your cultivation level.

Of course, she was just an alchemist and didn't need to go up and fight.

So what reason does she have not to work hard?

Thus, Elder Yu of the Alchemy Peak suddenly discovered that his gentle and intelligent disciple had abruptly turned into a madman obsessed with alchemy.

He spends all his time in the alchemy room, only occasionally venturing out to deliver pills to Xiaoyao Peak before returning to his secluded alchemy practice.

Elder Yu was so frightened that he couldn't sleep for several days. He wanted to ask her if she had encountered any difficulties and why she had to push herself to this point.

When Elder Yu learned that she was doing this to cultivate diligently, he was furious.

When he learned that she had learned these behaviors from those three people, he fell silent.

He should have told Lin Tanyu a long time ago not to associate with those three lunatics. Look at these three brutes, how they've taught their apprentice!

When he cursed the brute, he didn't remember at all that Feng Ning was actually a girl.

But there was nothing I could do. Ever since I learned that she had endured the pain of meridian reconstruction and that she didn't even sleep every day, practicing her cultivation morning and night...

He didn't treat this person like a girl at all.

She looks like a human, but inside she's a wild beast.

No normal person could do what she did.

Although he was happy to see his apprentice working hard, he was also worried and afraid as he watched him work so hard.

Several days later, after confirming that Lin Tanyu showed no signs of going astray in his cultivation, he reluctantly agreed.

Just after Nian Zhao's grueling training, Feng Ning finally broke through to the third-tier array master.

Upon hearing this news, Nian Zhao nearly vomited blood.

"What did you say? A third-tier array master?"

Feng Ning replied with a grin, "Yeah, aren't you happy? Aren't you surprised?"

Nian Zhao hardened his fist. "Get out! Practice your sword!"

Feng Ning was baffled; why did she detect a hint of gritted teeth in her voice?

"Master, I've made progress, aren't you happy?"

Nian Zhao's heart was bleeding. He had trained Feng Ning so hard, but how come she hadn't made any progress in swordsmanship?

She's exhausted during the day, but after practicing formations for a while at night, she still manages to break through inexplicably?

He couldn't understand it and was very frustrated, but he had to vent his anger, otherwise he would feel uncomfortable.

So...

Feng Ning is in trouble.

In the morning, Feng Ning was beaten so badly that she couldn't get up and collapsed to the ground.

She lay there with a look of utter despair. "Master, if all else fails, just kill me. Give me a quick death. Don't torture me like this every day."

After beating her up, Nian Zhao felt much better. He raised his chin and looked down at her, saying, "You've been practicing for almost half a month, and you can only withstand twenty of my moves. Your speed is a bit slow."

Feng Ning didn't want to move. "Oh."

"Starting today, go to the sect leader this afternoon and ask him to teach you how to cultivate your spiritual power."

Feng Ning didn't move.

"You lie down, I'll prepare some food for you, eat before you leave."
