466: Chapter 466 Farewell Banquet for the Masters!

However, he also knew his granddaughter's personality; she wouldn't joke about something like this.

Since she said Qin Yan gave it to her, then Qin Yan definitely gave it to her.

After a long silence, Lu Zhen finally spoke, "It seems this kid isn't bad."

Being able to give a divine material like creation divine iron to his precious granddaughter was enough to show how important Youyou's status was in the other's heart.

A person willing to give such a precious item to someone else at least showed that he wasn't a selfish person.

Hearing this, a smile touched Lu Youyou's brow.

...

After leaving the Lu Residence, Qin Yan returned to his own manor.

Pushing open the door, his familiar room came into view.

He took a deep breath, cast aside the distracting thoughts in his mind, picked up the Ink-Marked Spear, and began to train.

Spear Technique was what he was most familiar with.

Whenever his mind was in turmoil, practicing the spear could always help him calm down.

With a shake of Qin Yan's long spear, two completely different types of True Qi appeared simultaneously on the spear tip.

On the left side, Xuan Ming True Water Qi condensed, deep and dark blue, emitting a piercing chill;

On the right side, Nanming Li Fire True Qi condensed, crimson and blazing, burning with scorching flames.

Water and fire, one on the left and one on the right, flowed quietly on either side of the spear tip.

With a slight turn of his wrist, Qin Yan swung the long spear!

The spear thrust out like cold ice piercing the air, freezing and bone-chilling!

The spear retracted like a returning blaze, scorching and oppressive!

The long spear traced mysterious paths in the training room, each path containing the Concept of two diametrically opposed yet strangely fused elements: water and fire.

For a moment, heat and cold alternated within the training room!

Half of the space was filled with a chilling mist, as if one were in an ice cave.

The other half was filled with rolling heatwaves, like being inside a furnace.

This was a new Martial Skill Qin Yan had meticulously selected from the "Five Elements Martial Arts General Outline"—

Ice Flame Spear Technique!

A dual-attribute Fusion Martial Skill, rank—Tiangang · Exquisite Grade!

In the classification of Martial Arts Skills, the rank of a Martial Skill corresponds to the rank of a Cultivation Technique.

They are divided into four major ranks: Ordinary, Exquisite, Profound, and Top-tier. Each rank is further divided into two sub-levels: Disha and Tiangang.

Tiangang · Exquisite Grade was already quite a high level.

Most Ordinary Fifth-Rank Martial Artists cultivated Tiangang · Ordinary Grade Martial Skills.

Even those Geniuses known as "Prodigies" only cultivated Disha · Exquisite Grade.

Yet Qin Yan had directly chosen the Tiangang · Exquisite Grade Ice Flame Spear Technique!

This leap could not be called anything but massive.

But he had confidence.

He was confident he could Master it.

Even if he couldn't grasp the basics for a while, he wouldn't lose out—

Because during training, he could obtain Skill Points.

Practicing the spear brought gains.

No matter what, it wasn't a loss.

As the long spear flew, ice and fire intertwined within the training room.

Wherever the spear marks passed, trails of ice and fire lingered, leaving brilliant yet dangerous imprints in the air.

With every swing of the spear, he gained a bit more comprehension;

With every practice session, he made a bit more progress.

Qin Yan immersed himself in the world of the spear, forgetting both himself and the world.

...

Time passed slowly.

In the blink of an eye, it was September 20th.

The night was like water, and moonlight spilled through the window frames, casting mottled shadows in the room.

At this moment, in a secluded room within the Sixth Institute, the lights were bright and the atmosphere was bustling.

"Junior Brother, cheers!"

"Junior Brother, you must stay safe on this trip to Taixuan Academy."

"Little Junior Brother, if anyone bullies you over there, just give them our names—though it might not be useful, it can at least boost your courage!"

"Hahaha..."

In the room, the table was covered with all kinds of delicacies, and bottles of rare spirit wine emitted a rich aroma.

The aroma was mellow and long-lasting, intoxicating to the smell, clearly no Ordinary product.

This was spirit wine Xiao Huo had specially taken from his collection for today's farewell banquet.

Qin Yan and the other Senior and Junior Brothers sat around the table, clinking glasses and chatting merrily.

After a few cups of spirit wine, everyone's faces flushed red, a sign of the spirit wine's medicinal power dispersing through their bodies.

"Alright, Senior Brother, Senior Sister, I will definitely stay safe."

Qin Yan raised his wine cup, responding to each of his Senior Brothers' and sisters' exhortations.

He was departing tomorrow.

Tonight, Master Xiao Huo had specially gathered all the Disciples under his wing to see him off.

Qin Yan's gaze swept across his surroundings, looking at these familiar faces.

His teacher Xiao Huo sat in the main seat with a smile, his eyes full of gratification.

Second Senior Brother Ancient Yue was burly and a man of few words, but the look he gave Qin Yan was filled with brotherly concern.

Third Senior Sister Ye Hongxiao, dressed in red with a cold and elegant temperament, also showed a rare soft expression.

Fourth Senior Brother Chu Feng had a gentle smile and clear eyes, as refined as ever.

Fifth Senior Brother Fang Da had a bold personality and the loudest voice; he was already flushed red from drinking.

And—

Little Senior Sister Lu Youyou.

Tonight, Lu Youyou wore a light pink dress, her jet-black hair cascading over her shoulders, making her pretty face appear even more vivid and moving.

She held her wine cup, her head lowered, lost in thought.

As if sensing Qin Yan's gaze, she looked up, and her lively eyes met Qin Yan's directly.

Lu Youyou's gaze also turned toward Qin Yan.

Their eyes met, and the atmosphere became subtle for a moment.

In that look, there were too many things that were hard to put into words.

There was reluctance, blessing, encouragement, and some emotions that even she couldn't explain.

Her eyes flickered, and she quickly looked away, pretending to drink with feigned indifference.

"Xiao Yan, take this."

Xiao Huo's voice broke the subtle atmosphere.

He took out a medallion from his robe and handed it to Qin Yan.

The medallion was pitch black, neither metal nor jade, made of a special material.

The character "Yun" was carved in an ancient style on the front, while the back featured complex patterns that faintly emitted a dim light.

"Teacher, what is this?"

Qin Yan took the medallion and asked curiously.

"This is your Eldest Senior Sister's medallion."

He spoke slowly, his voice carrying a hint of longing and worry.

"After you join Taixuan Academy, you will inevitably travel through various worlds.

If your Senior Sister is nearby, this medallion will glow.

This was left behind by your Senior Sister back then; as long as they are within a certain range, they can sense each other."

"If you can encounter your Senior Sister in the various worlds, you two can help each other.

She has been wandering outside alone for so long, I don't know how she's doing..."

A trace of sorrow appeared in Xiao Huo's eyes.

His eldest Disciple hadn't been in contact for a long time.

What he could do now was to see if they could cross paths through his youngest Disciple, Qin Yan.

Even though the hope was slim, it was still hope, wasn't it?
