Chapter 21: The Real Genius

  Dead silence, the whole room is dead silent!

  The various experts of the Hai family all revealed shocked expressions, and even Hai Wuya was no exception. He had originally only hoped that Hai Tian would be able to exchange for five Biyun Dan, but unexpectedly he exchanged for ten!

  "Heavenly son, wasn't he right about the small rain?" Hai Wuya asked in a trembling voice.

  Haitian nodded: "En, Xiaoyu is right, I did exchange back ten Biyun Dan." As he spoke, Haitian also glanced at the two elders who had looked down on him earlier, his eyes filled with disdain!

  It's disdain. The gaze seems to be saying: Didn't you say I couldn't exchange for five Biyun Dan? Well, I'll exchange ten Biyun Dan back to you, let's see what else you have to say?

  At least for now, the Second Elder and Third Elder had shock in their eyes, but also a hint of annoyance. However, they couldn't say anything because Hai Tian not only got back the five Biyun Dan, but even got an additional five.

  "Heavens, you're truly amazing! Come on, quickly tell me how you did it." The Great Elder didn't have any prejudice against Haitian at all, but instead was extremely fond of him, and his tone of voice was also very gentle.

  Haitian naturally smiled and explained, of course, Xiaoyu was still on the side, vividly supplementing a few sentences, especially when it came to Haitian threatening the Salu family and extorting ten Biyun Dan, he was even more radiant.

  The numerous experts of the Hai family all nodded in praise after hearing it, but only the Second Elder and Third Elder still had gloomy faces. The more outstandingly Hai Tian performed, the more uncomfortable they felt inside.

  "Heavenly son, you've done well this time. Here, take two of these ten Biyun Dan." Hai Wuya smiled and poured out two Biyun Dan from the jade bottle, handing them to Haitian.

  Haitian didn't hesitate and accepted it. He understood that for his current situation, the Bixia Dan was still very useful.

  "Thank you, Father." Hai Tian smiled and nodded slightly.

  "Great Uncle! I've also made a lot of effort, Little Rain!" Seeing that Haitian had divided the two Biyun Dan, Little Rain suddenly became anxious and immediately let out a sharp cry.

  Hai Wuya smiled and said, "Well done, Little Rain! You've also made a contribution. Here's one for you. You should cultivate well and strive to become as powerful as your Big Brother Tian."

  "That's it, I will definitely work hard with Tian Ge as a role model!" Xiaoyu said seriously.

  The little rain like that immediately made all the people present laugh.

  Then Hai Tian and Xiao Yu bid farewell, after all they have to go to Li's house tomorrow to watch the battle, they need to make some preparations.

  Looking at the departing figure of Haitian and Xiaoyu, Hai Wuya smiled with relief: "Although Yun'er was very disappointing to me, but Tian'er made me feel extremely relieved. Great Elder, do you think we still have a chance to return to our family?"

  As soon as these words were spoken, the cheerful atmosphere immediately subsided.

  The old man remained silent for a long time before slowly opening his mouth to say, "Perhaps our generation won't be able to see it. However, Haotian has performed exceptionally well; perhaps one day in the future, they will be able to lead our Hai family back to its former glory."

  Haitian did not hear the conversation between Haiyue and Dalao, although his sword consciousness was exceptionally strong, he wouldn't release it at any time or place, let alone in his own home.

  "Little Rain, you go back and rest, I'm going to cultivate too." When they reached the fork in the road, Haitian parted ways with Little Rain.

  After returning to his own room, Haotian immediately took out the Frost Jade Bed from the storage ring, but he didn't start cultivating right away. The conspiracy of the Sala family against him that he overheard outside the Sala family's house today made him feel somewhat uneasy.

  With his current strength, it's still a bit difficult to dodge the attacks of a Sword Saint-level expert, let alone a Sword Master or Great Sword Master-level expert. So how should he respond?

  Headache, what a headache! Hai Tian's eyebrows were almost twisted into a "川" character.

  "Right! My sword sense is far stronger than theirs. Once they're hostile towards me, I'll immediately sense it and dodge in advance. Since they want to harm me, I won't be too kind either. Just dodging behind the Saru family's children will make them respond!" As soon as he thought of this, Haitian's mood suddenly improved.

  "You want to harm me? Don't even think about it!" A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and then vanished instantly.

  Immediately afterwards, Hai Tian entered a state of cultivation. After all, his current strength was too weak. Originally, he wanted to cultivate for a period of time, but who knew that Hai Wu Ya would not let him be idle.

  Sitting cross-legged on the icy jade bed, Hai Tian felt that the heavenly energy in the air within a hundred meters around him had completely gathered over, and clusters of white mist condensed around his body, rushing to enter his body.

  If it were an ordinary swordsman, he would have been blown up by the terrifying heavenly energy. But Hai Tian was different, he had already condensed his sword spirit.

  Jianling is not only the core of a swordsman, but his greatest role is not attacking, but cultivating.

  With Sword Spirit, you can more quickly convert Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy into internal Sword Spirit power without worrying about absorbing too much and being unable to transform it.

  With the experience of his past life, Haitian naturally knew how to maximize the use of Sword Spirit to absorb and transform the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into Sword Spirit power.

  In his dantian, a milky white vortex was spinning wildly, and the sword spirit above the vortex was also shining with dazzling light. A large amount of heavenly spiritual energy transformed into sword spiritual energy entered the swirling vortex below.

  And the pure sword spirit in the whirlpool surged upwards to merge with the white sword spirit, which was closely attached to the heavenly sword spirit.

  After such a cycle, about three or four hours later, Haitian suddenly opened his eyes, and a hint of joy flashed in his gaze. He knew that he had broken through to the power of six segments of swordsmanship.

  "It's really too powerful, although I've had a lifetime of experience, the Heaven Stage technique is indeed the Heaven Stage technique. Even if it's incomplete, it can still allow me to cultivate to the power of six segments of sword in just over a month!" Hai Tian couldn't help but praise sincerely.

  To know that even at a normal person's speed, it would take at least one month to improve one segment of swordsmanship, and another one or two months to possibly reach the second segment.

  Even the Sea Sky of the previous life spent a year to cultivate the power of six segments of sword. But now, Sea Sky has reached this level in just over a month.

  "I wonder how long it took those seniors in the Hai family to reach the sixth rank of swordsmanship?" Ha Tian pondered for a moment before bursting out laughing, "Rather than thinking about this, why not just go ask Father directly?"

  Soon, Hai Tian found Hai Wu Ya and asked what was on his mind.

  Hai Wuya furrowed his brow: "I remember that even the fastest among our predecessors took almost half a year. Strange, Tian Er, why are you asking this? Could it be that you've broken through again?"

  Later on, Hai Wuji was already excitedly looking at Haitian, who could only nod and say, "En, I have already reached the power of six segments of sword."

  "What a genius, what a genius!" Hai Wuya exclaimed, pacing back and forth excitedly. "In just a few days, you've already reached the power of six segments of swordsmanship. If you were to cultivate other techniques, wouldn't it be about the same?"

  "Father, I feel that the 'Nine Heavenly Sword Manual' is not a useless technique, but rather the Hai family's predecessors have cultivated it with problems." Hai Tian said thoughtfully.

  "Is there a problem with the cultivation? Where is the problem?" Hai Wuya asked immediately. If it's really a problem with the cultivation, then can't we just fix this problem and let others in the Hai family cultivate this Heavenly Stage technique later on?

  He furrowed his brow, pondering for a moment before shaking his head and saying, "I'm not entirely clear about it myself at the moment. However, from the time I condensed my sword spirit Lai during that segment of Sword Force, I've been different from those seniors. They couldn't break through this bottleneck, and I don't think I will either. Let's do it this way: when I break through to that stage, I'll tell you all about it."

  "Alright, but Tian Er, you must remember that if you really can't break through to the Sword Master level, then give up decisively. I don't want your exceptional talent to go to waste like this." Hai Wu Ya said solemnly.

  Hearing Hai Wu Ya's words, Hai Tian felt a warmth in his heart. It had been a long time since anyone had shown such concern for him.

  "I understand, Father. Don't tell others about my business for now." After saying that, Haitian left. The secret of the "Nine Heavenly Sword Manual" was not something he could decipher at present, perhaps when he collected the second half in the future, he would be able to solve this puzzle.

  Later, Hai Tian returned to his room to continue cultivating and didn't even come out for meals. Hai Wu Ya had sent Xiao Yu to call Hai Tian, but he was still diligently cultivating.

  Seeing this situation, Hai Wu Ya also knew that Hai Tian was immersed in his cultivation and did not go to disturb him again.

  In the evening, Haitian didn't waste any time and continued to practice. He needed to make up for the wasted time.

  One night passed, and when the second day dawned, Hai Tian automatically opened his eyes. After a night of submerged refinement, although he hadn't continued to break through, he had thoroughly consolidated his power at the sixth segment of the sword.

  "Brother Tian! Come and have breakfast!" Little Rain's voice came from outside the door.

  Haitian stretched his body, got down from the ice jade bed, and put it away in the storage ring. Only then did he open the door and say with a smile: "Xiaoyu, good morning. Xiaoyu, you..."

  Suddenly, Hai Tian's smile on his face completely froze, staring blankly at the little rain in front of him.

  "Hehe, Tian Ge, did you see that? I'm awesome, right?" Xiaoyu said with a proud smile.

  "Xiaoyu, when did you reach the power of Three-Section Sword? It's only been a few days!" Haitian suddenly exclaimed, he had previously seen Xiaoyu already reaching the power of Three-Section Sword and was shocked.

  He had cultivated the "Nine Heavenly Sword Manual", and with the help of the Frost Jade Bed and his experience from his previous life, he was able to reach the sixth level of sword power.

  Yesterday when I saw Xiao Yu, he only had one segment of sword energy, and was still quite far from achieving two segments. But unexpectedly, this morning he already has three segments of sword energy.

  "Xiao Yu, you're the real genius!"
