Fan Riquan heard the words and happily nodded, “Good! I will devote all my efforts to teaching Xiaotian.”

At this moment, Yang Xiaotian arrived at the second floor, and saw that at its center was also a Sword Wall.

The Sword Wall on the second floor was as large as the one on the first floor.

However, unlike the first floor’s Sword Wall, the second floor’s Sword Wall depicted two swordsmen, each wielding a sword.

The two swordsmen faced each other with their swords, seemingly engaged in combat.

When Yang Xiaotian stepped onto the second floor of the Sword Tower, nearly a hundred students were still fiercely speculating about who had awakened the power of the Sword Tower just before.

Since no one had gone down to the first floor at that time, they were unaware of the events that had occurred there.

Guo Wei noticed Yang Xiaotian.

Seeing Yang Xiaotian coming up from the first floor, Guo Wei’s face fell after his initial shock.

Clearly, Yang Xiaotian had also comprehended the Sword Wall on the first floor, because only by doing so could one open the door to the second floor.

However, when he had ascended to the second floor, Yang Xiaotian had not yet begun to comprehend the first floor’s Sword Wall, and now, in less than an hour since he’d come to the second floor, Yang Xiaotian had already comprehended it!

How was that possible?!

Even the founding master of Tiandou Academy had taken over four hours to comprehend the first floor’s Sword Wall back in the day.

Guo Wei was astonished and full of doubts.

At this time, the other students on the second floor also saw Yang Xiaotian.

“Yang Xiaotian has actually comprehended the Sword Wall on the first floor?”

“What’s so surprising about comprehending the Sword Wall on the first floor? Haven’t we done the same?”

“That’s true, comprehending the Sword Wall on the first floor is nothing special, it’s not like forming a Sword Heart.”

Many students murmured among themselves.

Hearing this, Guo Wei’s mood improved, for as those students had said, even if Yang Xiaotian had comprehended the Sword Wall on the first floor, it meant nothing.

As long as Yang Xiaotian had not formed a Sword Heart, comprehending the Sword Wall no matter how quickly was useless.

Yang Xiaotian paid no attention to the murmurs of the other students and sat down at a Formation Map seat.

Since there were less than a hundred students contemplating swordsmanship on the second floor, there were many empty seats, so Yang Xiaotian did not need to sit in a corner.

After sitting down, he blocked out the surrounding noise and his gaze settled on the Sword Wall.

The two swordsmen depicted on the Sword Wall, one male and one female, began to change in Yang Xiaotian’s eyes, just as when he had comprehended the first floor’s Sword Wall. Soon, the two figures leapt out from the Sword Wall and started performing swordsmanship.

The Swordsmanship Divine Ability on the second floor was undoubtedly more exquisite and profound than the first floor’s.

The moves of the two swordfighters seemed simple at a glance, but they were, in fact, incredibly complex with over a dozen variations in each gesture and stroke.

Towards the end, the variations in their swordplay became even more numerous, with over twenty changes within a single move.

Furthermore, by the end, their moves were infused with the power of Heaven and Earth.

Nearly half an hour passed before the two completed their demonstration of swordsmanship.

Yang Xiaotian closed his eyes and began to recall the swordsmanship displayed by the two figures.

He remembered it from beginning to end, just once through.

After watching the swordsmanship of the two just once, Yang Xiaotian had already completely memorized their techniques.

However, the varying techniques and many subtleties, even for Yang Xiaotian, were impossible to fully comprehend on the first try.

So, he fixed his gaze back onto the Sword Wall and started to watch for a second time, as the two swordfighters performed their swordsmanship again.

Time trickled by, moment by moment.

Guo Wei and the second level students also ceased their discussions, took their places on the Formation Map, and began to comprehend the Sword Wall.

Soon, Guo Wei entered a state of self-forgetfulness.

In his eyes, the Sword Wall gradually changed, and just like Yang Xiaotian, two swordsmen began to leap out of the Sword Wall, executing their sword techniques.

Watching the two swordsmen’s swordsmanship, Guo Wei felt a surge of joy in his heart. As expected, after obtaining the Sword Heart, his speed of comprehending the Sword Wall had quickened.

This time, he was certain that he could comprehend the sword techniques of the second level Sword Wall before Yang Xiaotian.

After watching for the second time, Xiaotian closed his eyes again, recalling the sword techniques of the two swordsmen from the Sword Wall.

This time, his understanding deepened by a few more degrees.

The parts that were previously unclear to him had now become clear.

However, the last few moves still had some aspects that he couldn’t fully integrate.

Thus, Xiaotian watched for the third time.

By the time he had finished watching for the third time, he had almost fully grasped the sword techniques of the second level Sword Wall, with only the final two or three moves having some minor aspects not yet fully comprehended.

Xiaotian then watched for the fourth time.

When he had finished watching for the fourth time, he had completely grasped the entire set of Swordsmanship Divine Ability, leaving no stone unturned.

At this point, only a little over two hours had passed since Yang Xiaotian had entered the second level.

In the grand hall of Tiandou Academy, the upper echelons of the academy agreed that Fan Riquan would teach Yang Xiaotian, while Xie Hong would teach Guo Wei, Zhong Yun would teach Lin Xiao, and Zhu Chenhui would teach Xiao Yong.

After the agreement, everyone left the grand hall.

Zhong Yun, Zhu Chenhui, and Sun Ze left together.

Along the way, Sun Ze exclaimed, “I never expected Xiaotian’s Sword Dao Talent to be so high. He comprehended the first level Sword Wall in less than an hour. At this rate, I’m afraid he might comprehend the second level Sword Wall in just two days.”

On hearing this, Zhong Yun sneered and said, “You’re overestimating Yang Xiaotian. Just because he comprehended the first level Sword Wall quickly, doesn’t mean he will grasp the second level just as fast. I think even ten days might not be enough for him to comprehend the second level Sword Wall.”

Zhu Chenhui nodded and added, “Brother Zhong is right. Many Sword Dao Geniuses in our academy comprehended the first level Sword Wall quickly, but slowed down at the second level, just like Chen Jun. It took him only two days for the first level, but over three months for the second!”

“There are even Sword Dao Geniuses who, after comprehending the first level, were never able to comprehend the second level.”

Just then, he abruptly stopped, his face a picture of shock as he stared in the direction of the Sword Tower, then his expression turned to utter astonishment, as if he had seen a ghost.

Zhong Yun and Zhu Chenhui also sensed something and turned around sharply.

They saw from the direction of the Sword Tower, streaks of Sword Qi shooting up into the sky, so dazzling, so unwavering.

Zhong Yun and Zhu Chenhui stood with their mouths agape, their minds went blank, and all they could see were those brilliant streaks of Sword Qi erupting into the sky – nothing else mattered.

Then, the Sword Tower shook once again.

Sword light burst forth.

The power of the Sword Tower, which had vanished for less than half a day, returned to the world of the living.

The authority of the sword once again enveloped the space inside the Sword Tower.

All the students inside the Sword Tower space, after their initial shock, wore expressions of sheer terror. The power of the sword just now had frightened many students out of their wits, and they had only just recovered when it struck again?!

And this time, the power of the Sword Tower was even stronger than before!

He Qingzhe on the fourteenth level, who had just gotten into the state of comprehending the sword, felt the overwhelming sword authority bear down on him and, equally terrified, began to frantically circulate the Divine’s Techniques, roaring, “Who the hell is awakening the power of the Sword Tower again!”

“I will not let you off!”

But no sooner had he finished speaking did the crushing sword authority descend like the Ancient Divine Mountain, slamming him onto the ground, flattening him.
