The Supreme Martial Expert of the Female CEO

At this moment, inside the Sword Tomb, Xuanyuan Xia is leisurely sitting by a round table, eating sunflower seeds while watching Ling Feng and the other two in the Small World.

"Hey, why are you making things so complicated?" Xuanyuan Xia spits out a sunflower seed shell and says, "You're exactly like my father, always wanting to have some trials for everything. Besides, Ling Feng is my father's disciple and my junior disciple; what more do you need to test?"

Just then, a white figure emerges from a stone box at the center of the Sword Tomb, looking exactly like the General in the Small World.

"Little girl, I'm your senior! Can't you show me some respect? And... where did you get those sunflower seeds? You've made quite a mess here!" Clearly, this man is the Xuanyuan Sword Soul.

"Ah, phooey!" Xuanyuan Xia spits out the sunflower seeds disdainfully and says, "Senior? What kind of senior bullies juniors? Do you show any signs of being a senior? Let me tell you, the great catastrophe is about to begin, my father is still in the Otherworld, fate unknown, and you can't be here leisurely enjoying life!"

The Sword Soul rolls his eyes: "Speak with conscience. Do you think I don't want to follow my master? I'm here guarding the Sealing Array, and without me, this array might have already been destroyed!"

Xuanyuan Xia pauses: "What do you mean, are people from the alternate dimension coming to destroy the Sealing Array?"

The Sword Soul nods: "Of course, after being defeated by the master, they reluctantly abandoned Earth, which is an indelible shame for them! Over the millennia, they've used various means, sending no less than ten waves of experts to the Atlantis Continent. Luckily, due to the seal, they could only send experts at the God Realm, all of whom I've dealt with!"

"Such stubborn fools!" Xuanyuan Xia says coldly.

The Sword Soul nods: "Naturally. From the mouths of those people, I learned that over these millennia, the Three Great Realms' environments have deteriorated further. If they can't find a suitable Origin Star, the Three Realms might completely collapse, and even the Immortal Realm powerhouses in their realms would not be spared!"

Xuanyuan Xia angrily says, "It'd be better if they all perished!"

"Even ants cherish their lives, let alone beings from an alternate dimension whose life level is higher than Earthlings!" The Sword Soul sighs, "The battles ahead will increasingly become harsher!"

Xuanyuan Xia continues: "Yes, yes, if that's the case, you should follow Ling Feng and leave here earlier, search the alternate dimension for my father!"

The Sword Soul bitterly smiles: "A Xia, I won't hide it from you now! In truth... over all these years, my power has been solely devoted to maintaining the Sealing Array, and if I leave, the alternate dimension people might seize the opportunity at any time. Even if I want to look for the master, I can't do it!"

Xuanyuan Xia is stunned: "You mean... even if Ling Feng passes your trials, he won't earn your approval? Aren't you just playing with people? No wait... is my father playing with people?"

The Sword Soul shook his head and said, "A Xia, I think you've relied too much on my power. Actually, this trial was instructed by the Holy Emperor master before he left!"

Is it Father's instruction then? Since Father knows the Xuanyuan Sword can't leave, why would he still let the Xuanyuan Sword Soul conduct trials?

"I think the master might want to give them hope!" The Sword Soul says solemnly. "Moreover, the master wants me to see their progress and growth! After all, they are destined to guard this world. What we can do is assist them, polish them, ensuring their faster growth, and nothing more!"

Xuanyuan Xia sighs, her eyes showing some complexity.

"Moreover, the Mo Yu Sword in Ling Feng's hand and the Sword of the King in Daphne's hand are both fragments fallen off the Xuanyuan Sword!" The Sword Soul laughs and says, "But over these years, each has developed spiritual intelligence. I think as they grow, they will naturally replace my position!"

Xuanyuan Xia knows well the intense battle of the past was exceedingly fierce, and even the Xuanyuan Sword suffered severe damage, with two fragments breaking off.

One of the fragments was used by the Holy Emperor to suppress the Black Dragon's injuries, while the other disappeared on the battlefield, never to be found!

Over tens of thousands of years of evolution, these two fragments each developed spiritual intelligence. One was obtained by Ling Feng, becoming his Mo Yu Sword! The other was acquired by the foremost man, King Arthur, and called the Sword of the King.

"Let me see, Mo Yu Sword's master and Sword of the King's master, who is the most worthy of inheriting my legacy!" The Sword Soul looks up at the Small World's scene, thinking in his heart.

In the Small World, Ling Feng and the other two have reached the edge of the forest.

"This forest is vast and boundless, finding the Seven-Star Leaf Fruit within is almost impossible!" Ling Feng says lightly, "Therefore, it's unrealistic to find Seven-Star Leaf Fruit using conventional methods!"

Daphne furrows her brows: "Then what should we do? There are only three of us, and this forest is so large, what other method can we use?"

Ling Feng looks at the masked woman: "Beauty, do you have any good ideas?"

The masked woman smiles coquettishly: "You call me beauty without seeing my face; Ling Feng, are you always this frivolous?"

Ling Feng smiles lightly: "Haven't you heard, the beauty of a bird lies in its feathers, the beauty of a person lies in their spirit? Such a spiritually beautiful girl like you must be the most beautiful!"

"Am I spiritually beautiful? How can you tell?"

Ling Feng says solemnly: "During the trial of killing, I could see that your heart didn't want to kill that boy, so you would rather use your own life to exchange for the boy's, isn't that true?"

Speaking of this matter, a trace of melancholy flashes in the eyes of the masked woman: "Does that count? I... I still didn't save him, he still died!"

"Is death truly the end?" Ling Feng says lightly, "To him, having someone willing to die for him means dying without regrets! Didn't you notice he had a slight smile on his lips?"

The masked woman thinks for a moment and says, "Ling Feng, after hearing you say that, I feel much better inside!"

Daphne looks at Ling Feng and the masked woman talking and laughing, a hint of loneliness appearing on her face; this isn't the first time Ling Feng has been indifferent to her.

Perhaps noticing the loneliness on Daphne's face, the masked woman says, "Ling Feng, since you brought up the question, you surely have a solution, right? Now is not the time to hold back, if you have ideas, just say them!"
