132 Yan Zhantian's Guidance
"Mo Xiao! Be my disciple! As long as you're willing to be my disciple, I can even call you Master, okay!"
Yan Zhantian said eagerly.
"Hey, hey, hey! Yan Zhantian! What are you up to again?" Su Jin'er, who was nearby, rushed over and shielded Mo Xiao, looking displeased.
"What are you doing now? I'm talking to my disciple!"
Seeing Su Jin'er running over again, Yan Zhantian also looked unhappy.
"Who's your disciple?! Didn't we already agree?! We'll decide on the matter of becoming a disciple after the college entrance examination! Why are you secretly taking action again?!"
"You're still by his side every day! Who knows if you've accepted him on behalf of your master!" Yan Zhantian retorted without caring about his seniority.
Mo Xiao, watching the two of them arguing like children, was momentarily stunned before he stepped forward and said, "Senior sister, senior, please calm down for a moment."
"Look! He's already calling you Senior Sister! And you still say that you didn't take in a disciple for that old woman!" Yan Zhantian instantly exploded when he heard this form of address.
When Su Jin'er heard this, she scolded rudely, "Who are you calling an old woman! You shameless old man! My master is still young! Shall I call her over to teach you a lesson?!"
"Come on! I'm not afraid of her!"
Looking at the two people arguing loudly like children in front of him, the corners of Mo Xiao's mouth couldn't help but twitch twice, and he quickly said, "Alright, alright, Senior, Senior Sister, calm down first. Calling her senior sister is just a temporary form of address, and I haven't officially become a disciple of the Archmage."
"Is that so? Well, I thought you had already become her disciple, and that scared me for a moment," Yan Zhantian said, relieved that Mo Xiao clarified this point, fearing that this talented individual might have joined someone else's sect.
"You think I'm you? Always sneaking around and making moves in secret!" Su Jin'er continued to retort relentlessly.
"You!" Yan Zhantian glared at Su Jin'er but didn't say anything more. "Kid, your skills are strong, but having strong skills alone isn't enough."
<nulli>?
Seeing the doubt in Mo Xiao's eyes, Yan Zhantian continued, "When you were fighting just now, I was watching you closely. nOVe)lb.1n
"Your combat power is indeed impressive, completely exceeding what's expected at your level.
"But all your fighting techniques rely on skills provided by the system, right?"
Mo Xiao hesitated for a moment at Yan Zhantian's words and then nodded.
Although the Sword Emperor had started teaching him how to use techniques against enemies, the opponents he had encountered so far had been too powerful, leaving him with no opportunity to use techniques.
All he could do was unleash all his skills recklessly.
Except for Shield Reflection, he had no real combat techniques.
"It's fine against straightforward enemies with fixed attributes, but what will you do when you encounter opponents like us, who have high intelligence?" Yan Zhantian said calmly.
"Can't we continue crushing them?"
Yan Zhantian was stunned for a moment before he smiled and said, "You can crush them, but are you sure you are able to crush them? Su Jin'er should have told you that in the Tianyuan Battlefield, the Demon Clan dominates.
"Not only are they numerous and powerful, but they also have intelligence comparable to us humans.
"After they realize how strong you are, do you think they'll stand there like these bosses and let you attack them?" Yan Zhantian continued slowly. "Sometimes, restraint is also a technique, and keeping your attack methods hidden from your opponent is also a combat strategy.
"But it's too early to talk about this now... You'll find out during the college entrance examination," Yan Zhantian said, reconsidering and not elaborating further.
"We'll find out during the college entrance examination? Is there something special about it?" Mo Xiao asked curiously.
Yan Zhantian glanced at Mo Xiao and said directly, "Not really, it's just that you'll be challenging a tower during the college entrance examination."
"A tower? What tower?" Mo Xiao quickly asked, wanting more details.
"Hey, Yan Zhantian! Are you really planning to tell him about the Heaven-reaching Tower?" Su Jin'er saw that Yan Zhantian seemed to be about to reveal it and quickly reminded him.
Yan Zhantian glanced at Su Jin'er and said, "Does it matter? The Heaven-reaching Tower is not a secret to humans. After all, everyone will go in for trials during the college entrance examination.
"And all the major family descendants know about the Heaven-reaching Tower, even its contents. It doesn't matter if I tell him in advance." Yan Zhantian shrugged, looking indifferent.
Hearing this, Su Jin'er looked at Yan Zhantian somewhat speechlessly and said, "No, just let him know it's the Heaven-reaching Tower. Do you really not want to see his true strength after he enters the tower?
At least my master wants to see his actual abilities."
Yan Zhantian looked at Mo Xiao, then at Su Jin'er, and finally nodded. "Fine, I won't say more. Kid, the college entrance examination is coming soon, so take care of yourself.
"But I've already accepted you as my disciple! I can even fight for it if necessary!"
Hearing Yan Zhantian's words, Mo Xiao looked at him and seemed to be deep in thought.
[Ding, MP reset to zero! Dragon God's Descent canceled!]
At that moment, a system notification sounded, and the fire dragon in the distance disappeared instantly.
Hearing this news, Mo Xiao was also stunned.
<nulli>I used up more than 90,000 mana points just like that??
<nulli>What a joke!
Seeing Mo Xiao's sudden change in expression, Su Jin'er reassured him, "Don't worry, when the time comes, you can decide for yourself who you want to be your master. We won't make it difficult for you."
"I haven't thought about that yet. I ran out of mana just now, and the fire dragon disappeared. Shouldn't we go support the other city gates?" Mo Xiao asked with some concern.
Su Jin'er replied calmly, "No need. They are all masters at the level of City Lord or Hall Master, so they shouldn't have trouble dealing with these monsters. Just wait patiently."
"Oh..."
Mo Xiao nodded slightly and didn't say anything more. He sat down cross-legged and began practicing the Heavenly Essence Technique.
Seeing Mo Xiao sitting down, Su Jin'er smiled slightly and looked at Yan Zhantian. "Uncle Yan, aren't you going to watch the other city gates? Aren't you worried about any unexpected incidents?"
When Yan Zhantian heard this, he looked at the three city gates where the battles were still ongoing, then said, "Alright, I'll go. Take care of this kid, and don't let him be stolen by any monsters."
"Even if you were stolen, he wouldn't be stolen!" Su Jin'er rolled her eyes at Yan Zhantian and sat directly beside Mo Xiao. She closed her eyes and waited for the siege to end.
