Oh no! I, the weakling, have become the villain!

Not only were four guards sent to protect Xu Yao, but also many maids were brought in to take care of him.

Meanwhile, Xu Yao was practicing the Tai Xu Sword Manual in the secret chamber.

Xu Yao sat cross-legged, completely focused on cultivating the Tai Xu Sword Manual.

"The Taixu Sword Manual has seven levels, and each level requires a massive amount of true essence to be used."

"I wonder if my dantian can handle it," Xu Yao muttered to himself.

His gaze hardened, and he gently stroked the long sword at his waist.

He drew his longsword and swung it, the blade flashing with cold light as it severed the wooden beams on the wall.

As more and more wooden beams were cut down, cracks appeared all over the once smooth floor tiles.

A dark, lifeless corpse appeared before Xu Yao, its clothes already torn to shreds and scattered on the ground.

Xu Yao couldn't help but shudder the moment he saw the corpse.

Then he quickly left the secret room and found a secluded place to hide.

After a long while, he made sure there was no danger around before quietly climbing out.

"What kind of evil did this bastard do to attract so many people to hunt him down?"

Xu Yao looked at the destroyed street in front of him and said.

He wandered around the street for several hours before finally finding a restaurant to eat and rest, as he was still hungry.

He left only after he had eaten and drunk his fill, as he needed to seize the time to cultivate the Tai Xu Sword Manual.

Xu Yao has not returned, and we don't know how he is doing now.

However, judging from Uncle Li's description, things probably aren't going well for him either, since so many people are chasing him and his chances of survival are slim.

He believed his father was not the type to die young, so he wasn't worried about his safety.

After returning to his courtyard, Xu Yao prepared to cultivate the Taixu Sword Manual.

However, he was surprised to find that his dantian was filled with extremely dense true qi, and it was still flowing out continuously.

"I've broken through?" Xu Yao said in shock.

Xu Yao's face was filled with disbelief. He never expected that he would break through, especially without any warning.

He has good talent for cultivation, but he hasn't reached that level of monstrous talent.

That's why he worked so hard to cultivate, hoping to break through.

Unexpectedly, his accumulated knowledge was quite substantial, and with the help of the system, he broke through directly.

Moreover, Xu Yao felt that his true energy was more condensed than before, even without the help of the Sun True Fire.

He can still use the Taixu Sword Manual, and its power will be more than doubled.

"That's great!" Xu Yao couldn't help but say excitedly.

Xu Yao suppressed his joy and continued his cultivation.

The Taixu Sword Manual is divided into nine levels, and Xu Yao has already cultivated to the fifth level.

Logically speaking, given Xu Yao's current age, he should have already reached a bottleneck.

Unless there is a great opportunity or a miraculous encounter, there will be no further improvement.

However, Xu Yao's strength is improving rapidly, which is like a key that can open a new window for him.

Three more days passed in the blink of an eye, and that night Xu Yao finally opened his eyes.

Xu Yao suddenly stood up and stomped his right foot on the ground.

A clear footprint appeared on the ground, and then the entire roof collapsed with a roar.

"Sixth Form of the Tai Xu Sword Manual: Thunderclap Slash!"

Xu Yao unleashed a punch that exploded in the air, the violent force of which slammed into the stone table in front of him.

The stone table shattered with a crash. Xu Yao's face was filled with an excited smile. He had finally mastered the sixth form of the Taixu Sword Manual.

He believed that with the power of the Taixu Sword Manual, his combat strength would definitely improve significantly.

After cultivating in his room for a while, Xu Yao returned to his own room and began studying the parchment.

This parchment contains all the information about the Xu family, including some secret manuals.

According to the Xu family's ancestral precepts, all Xu family members must learn the eight forms of the Taixu Sword Manual.

Our ancestor once roamed the martial world with this sword technique, and even killed a master at the semi-saint level.

These eight sword techniques are the secrets of the Taixu Sword Sect, and it is said that the power of this sword technique is unparalleled. If one cultivates it to perfection, one can kill a saint.

Xu Yao memorized the parchment; it was a treasure.

The contents recorded on this parchment are a treasure trove, and there is indeed a profound reason why the Xu family has been able to stand strong for thousands of years.

The next morning, Xu Yao woke up early and headed to the martial arts arena, where many members of the Xu family had already gathered.

The Xu family has a total of 126 disciples. Although they cannot compare with the four major families, they are still considered a powerful and prestigious family in the entire capital city.

Meanwhile, two men were engaged in a fierce battle in the training ground.

The battle between these two was exceptionally terrifying; each exchange of blows caused tremendous shockwaves.

Moreover, their attacks are extremely sharp, often deciding the outcome with a single move.

"Is this the combat power of a Primordial Martial Master? Truly impressive," Xu Yao sighed inwardly from afar.

"Brother Xu He truly lives up to his reputation as a peak expert of the Innate Realm. He could kill me in one move." At this moment, another youth said with a smile.

“Su Qingshan, you’re not bad either. Although you’re only at the early stage of the Acquired Realm, it won’t be easy for me to beat you,” Xu He said with a smile.

"I've been stuck at the early stage of the Acquired Realm for a long time now. If I could break through to the Innate Realm, my strength would be even greater."

"Then I will be able to challenge those disciples in the family who have reached the Acquired Realm. Just thinking about it makes my blood boil."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yao frowned slightly. He hadn't expected that this guy named Su Qingshan was actually a member of the Xu family.

He never expected to encounter someone of his own kind here, but he didn't know them well.

Just then, the two people in the center of the training ground stopped fighting; they had already exchanged several blows.

"Alright, that's enough for today. We'll continue tomorrow," Xu He said with a smile.

He had been stuck at the Acquired Realm for a long time, but he had not made any progress and was even showing signs of regression.

He knew that his current talent for cultivation was not high, so he planned to cultivate diligently.

He should strive to break through to the Innate Realm as soon as possible, so that he can possess even greater strength.

Moreover, he had never stopped cultivating during this time, so he gained some insights.

He felt that he should be able to break through after another month of training.

Once one reaches the Innate Realm, one's strength will undergo a qualitative improvement.

This time, he will definitely not lose to Xu Yao.

"I'm leaving now," Xu He said to Su Qingshan, then turned and left.

The next morning, Xu Yao got up early, washed up, and changed into a brand new blue robe.

Xu Yao is tall, handsome, and dashing; this outfit makes him look exceptionally heroic.
