Starting with an orphanage, I mass-produced peerless empresses.

"How could that be? I won't cry!"

Qianqian gave a soft snort, looking quite confident.

At this moment, Su Qing said with a smile, "Dean, please don't be offended. This girl rarely loses and just wants to find an opponent of the same age. Do you think you could grant her that wish?"

Since even the parents had spoken, Lin Yun naturally had nothing to worry about.

"In that case..."

He arrived at the door and shouted.

"Xiaoxue, could you please come here for a moment?"

At this time, Bai Xiaoxue should be studying martial arts techniques with Qingyue at the academy.

Before long, both women arrived.

"Oh, have we had a guest?"

Bai Xiaoxue was surprised to see Lu Xian'er.

"Oh, it's you, sister."

Upon seeing her, Lu Xian'er smiled and nodded.

"Isn't this to deliver some Mystic Crystals to your dean?"

"That's it..."

At this moment, Qianqian looked at her and Qingyue, and immediately stepped forward to ask.

"Which of you is Bai Xiaoxue, the one my senior sister mentioned?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaoxue tilted her head and looked at her.

"That's me. Is there something you need?"

"I've heard you're a very skilled swordsman. I'd like to spar with you!"

"Ah, a friendly spar?"

Bai Xiaoxue was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Lin Yun and asked.

"Dean, what exactly is going on..."

Lin Yun smiled and said, "This is Lu Xian'er's junior sister. It seems she came here specifically to exchange skills with you."

After saying that, he pulled her aside and lowered his voice.

"After all, she's a guest. Remember to go easy on her when you fight her later, so she doesn't lose too badly."

Bai Xiaoxue has recently improved her sword intent and martial arts skills, making her a formidable opponent for her peers. She should be more gentle with her guests.

"Okay! I understand..."

Bai Xiaoxue nodded obediently. As long as the dean was happy, she didn't care if she lost even if she deliberately lost.

Not long after, in an open space in the courtyard.

Lin Yun and the other two, along with Qing Yue, stood aside as referees.

Bai Xiaoxue and Qianqian each drew their longswords and stood about ten meters apart, both displaying their profound energy.

Bai Xiaoxue was still at the peak of the Acquired Realm, while Qianqian opposite her was at the seventh level of the Acquired Realm, so their cultivation levels were significantly lower.

But in Qianqian's opinion, low-level skills are better than cultivation level. Even if the opponent's cultivation level is high, she can still win as long as she suppresses them with her swordsmanship!

At this moment, Qianqian held up the long sword in her hand, her dress fluttering without wind, and then a blue sword wind swirled around her, giving her a rather fierce aura at first glance.

At this moment, Bai Xiaoxue politely bowed.

"Miss Qianqian, please enlighten me."

Qingyue shook her head slightly. She could tell from the moment the other party made their move that they had no chance of winning.

"He doesn't even have sword intent, yet he dares to challenge Xiaoxue. He's really too arrogant..."

Qianqian, however, was completely unaware of her own ignorance, and gave Bai Xiaoxue a soft snort.

"Be careful later. The powerful swordsmanship of my Hehuan Valley is far superior to the rudimentary swordsmanship you learned from the Dean!"

The beginning was fine, but what she said next was unbearable for one of the dean's biggest fans.

Bai Xiaoxue's friendly expression gradually softened.

"So, can we begin?"

Upon hearing this, Qianqian nodded.

"Of course, I'm going!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a burst of blue light flashed from the long sword in her hand, and she and the sword merged into one, rushing towards Bai Xiaoxue like a gust of wind!

At the same time, strands of green hair gathered around her, rushing out with her, looking extremely gorgeous!

In contrast, Bai Xiaoxue was simple and unpretentious. She simply raised her hand, waved her sword, and let out a soft shout, her face cold as she unleashed her sword intent.

"The wind breaks through the remaining clouds!"

Without the slightest hesitation, she raised her hand and unleashed a top-grade Earth-rank sword technique!

In an instant, a violent gale swept up the sword intent, condensing it into a horizontal sword aura that shot out!

Explosions echoed wherever it went, but fortunately, defenses had been set up around it, otherwise it could have completely destroyed the orphanage!

As for Qianqian, who struck first, her proud swordsmanship was torn to shreds without any suspense, and the sharp sword energy almost grazed her head.

If she had been even slightly better, she would be decapitated by now; the outcome of the battle was already decided.

"Accepted."

Bai Xiaoxue sheathed her sword and bowed to the girl.

The orphanage was completely silent, as if everyone was still stunned by her sword strike.

Lin Yun's lips twitched slightly. Wasn't she supposed to go easy on her? She'd gone straight for the real deal!

Lu Xian'er was surprised. In just a few days, this girl's strength had actually increased again?

Looking at Qianqian on the other side, she was probably frightened. She sat down on the ground with a thud, and tears welled up in her eyes. She was so scared that she cried!

Seeing this, Lin Yun coughed lightly and said.

“Valley Master Su, look at this…”

"This is how friendly competition should be; let's teach her a lesson."

Su Qing shook her head and said helplessly, "This girl, we spoil her too much."

Then she walked over and looked at Qianqian sitting on the ground, and gave her a lecture.

"Now you understand what I meant when I told you there are always people more capable than you, right?"

"Um……"

Qianqian responded with teary eyes, but it was unclear whether she had truly listened.

Lin Yun sighed and looked helplessly at the girl beside him.

"Xiaoxue, didn't I tell you to go easy on her? Instead, you made her cry!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaoxue grabbed his sleeve and gave a soft snort.

"Who told her to say that the skills you teach, Dean, are just rudimentary? Of course, I have to prove her wrong!"

"Sigh, you..."

Lin Yun smiled helplessly; it seemed this girl was quite protective of him.

Since that's their reason, what else can we do but spoil them?

Fortunately, it was Qianqian who wanted to fight and provoked them, and since neither side was hurt, they didn't take it to heart.

After the sparring session ended, Su Qing looked at Bai Xiaoxue and sighed.

"I never expected that you, young lady, would have such a remarkable swordsmanship at such a young age."

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaoxue grabbed the dean's hand and said with a proud expression.

"Of course, but it's all thanks to the dean!"

To some extent, that's true. If it weren't for the 999-fold increase in cultivation, she might never have achieved what she has today.

"It's not just me, it's also because of your hard work, girl."

Lin Yun sighed softly, after all, he had always seen how hard the other party had worked in cultivation.

At this moment, Su Qing seemed to be deep in thought.

"Speaking of which, given her exceptional swordsmanship, Dean Lin, shouldn't you consider having her participate in this year's Eastern Continent Azure Cloud Grand Competition?"

Lin Yun paused for a moment, then asked in confusion.

"The Azure Cloud Grand Competition? What's that?"

This surprised both Su Qing and Lu Xian'er, who looked at him as if he were from another planet.

Lu Xian'er asked in surprise, "Dean Lin, you don't know this?"

"I've always been out of touch with worldly affairs and don't know much about these things, so I hope you can enlighten me."

Upon hearing this, Su Qing was about to explain when she suddenly remembered something and smiled as she looked at Lu Xian'er.

"Xian'er, then you should explain to Dean Lin what the Qingyun Grand Competition is."
