Jiang Lan looked at Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu also blinked her eyes at Jiang Lan.

One was puzzled while the other was confused.

"Senior Sister Xiao Yu, why do you say that?"

Jiang Lan didn't understand why Xiao Yu would say that for no reason.

Under normal circumstances, who would say, "I'll teach you how to write?'

There was something wrong with this sentence.

And these words bothered him.

He then thought about what had happened at the Fifth Summit.

If he had known that the words on it would be kept forever, he would never have written them. Instead, he would have gone straight down the mountain.

Unfortunately, it was too late. No one knew how long those four words would remain on the Fifth Summit.

The only fortunate thing was that he did not need to leave his name behind.

No one knew that he was the one who wrote those four words, except for Martial Aunt Miao Yue.

"Heavens reward the diligent. Wasn't this written by Junior Brother?" Xiao Yu asked.

Jiang Lan took another glance at Xiao Yu, but her expression remained unchanged.

A moment later, he shook his head and said.

"Senior Sister must be mistaken."

As the sound of his voice faded, he closed his eyes to comprehend the Dragon Slaying Sword.

He needed to understand the intention behind it so that the sword in his hand would not be able to hinder the might of the Dragon Slaying Sword.

However, he didn't know how to do it.

Just as his Martial Uncle from the Eighth Summit had said.

Sword Intent could not be taught and could only be comprehended by oneself.

The only thing that others could help him with was direction as well as providing him with some insight.

That was why Jiu Zhongtian had given him this sword with Sword Intent.

He only asked Jiang Lan to take it for reference and not to imitate it.

After closing his eyes, Jiang Lan placed his heart on the sword in his hand.

This was a wooden sword, a wooden sword without any power.

Now, he wanted to bestow power and a will upon the sword.

By doing so, he could allow this harmless sword to unleash a shocking power.

It was difficult, but with a direction, there was a possibility.

Xiao Yu looked at Jiang Lan as she closed her eyes. She was a little confused. Did she really identify the wrong person?

It didn't feel like it.

After careful thought, she came to a realization.

After that, she didn't say anything else and no longer thought about this matter.

Instead, she held the sword of Sword Intent in her hand.

This was the Dragon Slaying Sword's Sword Intent.

Using the Dragon Slaying Sword's Sword Intent, there was a certain possibility of comprehending the Dragon Slaying Sword.

It was like she had a key.

However, it should still be very difficult. After all, her master had told her that only her Martial Uncle of the Eighth Summit had learned the Dragon Slaying Sword.

At least on the surface, it was like that.

No one knew the truth.

After learning the Dragon Slaying Sword, it would not emit any power.

No one would know if one had learned it if one didn't use it.

With so many disciples in Kunlun, it was not a rare thing for one to learn it.

It was also normal for no one to learn it.

There had yet to be anyone who admitted openly that they had learned the Dragon Slaying Sword.

Only a few people knew that Jiang Lan had learned the Dragon Slaying Sword.

Among the disciples, only Xiao Yu knew.

Now, some people on the Eighth Summit also knew.

Perhaps it wouldn't be long before Jiang Lan became one of the two people on the surface who knew the Dragon Slaying Sword.

Now, he was one of the few who knew the Dragon Slaying Sword in secret.

…

The sun was shining brightly, and the lake water reflected the sunlight from the sky.

A gentle breeze blew across the calm surface of the lake, causing ripples to appear on the surface.

At this moment, Jiang Lan felt as if he was sitting on the surface of a lake, and there was a demonic dragon in front of him.

Jiang Lan looked at the demonic dragon silently.

"Human, just you? How are you going to kill me?" The demonic dragon's voice sounded.

At this moment, the demonic dragon was hovering in midair.

It looked at Jiang Lan, the disdain in its eyes like an overfilled cup, continuously overflowing.

"Human, are you very surprised? Do you think that I am just a phenomenon in your heart?

Naive.

As long as you are by the lake, you will suffer the influence of my innate talent.

This is your heart, but it is sealed by me.

If I don't leave, you can't leave.

Human…" The demonic dragon's voice was angry.

"Submit before me, kneel before my dragon might.

Open your mouth and pray for my mercy.

Only by doing so will I let you off."

As his voice fell, the surrounding lake water began to boil.

Powerful auras appeared around him, but Jiang Lan ignored them.

He looked down at the sword in his hand and was thinking about how to slash out the Dragon Slaying Sword that encompassed its true intent.

Was the intent born from the intention to kill a dragon, or was it born from the hate for a dragon?

It would be very difficult for him to do both.

There was no hatred in his heart, nor was there any killing intent in his sword.

Killing didn't have to be done with killing intent.

Even the sword of a Dragon Slayer might not carry the will of destruction.

And these were not the directions he intended to walk.

Roar!

A dragon's roar was heard. The lake water surged.

"Human, you dare to look down on me?" The demonic dragon's enraged voice shook heaven and earth.

When he heard this voice, Jiang Lan raised his head and looked at the demonic dragon. He opened his mouth and spoke to the demonic dragon for the first time.

"Senior, this junior has no intention of offending you."

The demonic dragon looked at Jiang Lan in surprise.

It had mobilized everything around it, but it was unable to mobilize everything around this person.

The area around Jiang Lan was as stable as ever.

There were no flaws that could be exploited.

At least it couldn't find any.

After that, the demonic dragon calmed the waves and hovered in mid-air, staring coldly at Jiang Lan.

It couldn't do anything to the other party.

However, it was not that easy for the other party to get out too.

Then, it decided to drag things out.

It wanted to see who could last longer.

As long as the opponent panicked, victory would belong to it.

Jiang Lan didn't mind. He looked at the sword in his hand and continued to remain silent.

Sword Intent.

How was he going to bestow upon this sword a soul?

The Dragon Slaying Sword kept appearing in his mind.

He was simulating this strike.

He wanted to use simulations to understand the thoughts of the person who created this move back then.

…

Xiao Yu, who was comprehending the Dragon Slaying Sword's Sword Intent outside, opened her eyes.

She could sense that seven days had passed.

She had some gains, but they were negligable.

"En?"

When she woke up, she saw that Jiang Lan still had his eyes closed.

And it gave people a strange feeling.

"It seems to be the power of the demonic dragon."

There was a faint trace of power on Jiang Lan's body. It belonged to the demonic dragon.

Furthermore, it was not an ordinary power. It should be some kind of innate talent.

"Demonic Dragon Talent, Myriad Mind?

Junior Brother's mental state is extraordinary, so the demonic dragon's talent shouldn't be of much use to him.

However, I am unsure of his exact situation for now.

I shall go in and take a look. I am able to suppress it so I should be able to enter."

Xiao Yu held the Dragon Slaying Sword's Sword Intent in her hand.

She wanted to bring the Sword Intent along with her.

The true dragon power that belonged to Xiao Yu enveloped her before she arrived at the surface of the lake.

It had entered through the demonic dragon's power.

She then saw the demonic dragon hovering in mid-air, as well as Jiang Lan, who was deep in thought on the surface of the lake.

She did not speak. She sat cross-legged on the surface of the lake and continued to comprehend the Dragon Slaying Sword's Sword Intent.

The demonic dragon sensed danger the moment Xiao Yu's power enveloped it.

The danger did not come from her aura of a true dragon.

It was from the Dragon Slaying Sword's Sword Intent in Xiaoyu's hands.

However, seeing that the other party didn't do anything, it pretended not to see anything.

All three parties were silent.

Now, it was a matter of who lost their patience first.

The demonic dragon wasn't afraid of either side.

However, it couldn't do anything to them too.

It could be considered to be in an undefeatable position for now.

…

Outside, Jiu Zhongtian was drinking as he looked at Jiang Lan and Xiao Yu.

He only glanced at them once before turning his attention away.

He didn't know if Jiang Lan could comprehend the Dragon Slaying Sword's Sword Intent, but he had nothing to teach Jiang Lan.

Learning the Dragon Slaying Sword was different from cultivation.

And even if it was regarding the matter of cultivation, it would not be his turn to teach Jiang :Lan.
