Chapter 287

The girls nearby held their breath, worrying for Xu Hao and praying silently in their hearts.

"Can you only dodge?"

After going all out and still having her attacks dodged by Xu Hao, Xu Feiyan grew somewhat frustrated.

"What kind of logic is that? If I don't dodge, am I supposed to stand here and let you slash me?"

Xu Hao began to verbally tease his daughter.

This was also a method of guidance.

"Yeah, Fifth Sister, aren't you being way too overbearing?"

"Demanding that the other person stand still for you to hit during a fight."

"Fifth Sister, that's just lame. You're being a sore loser…"

Shiqing and Hua Yi stood firmly on their father's side.

At the same time, the sisters let out a sigh of relief.

Seeing Xu Hao handling the situation with such ease, he definitely wouldn't be hurt by Xu Feiyan.

As for Xu Hao hurting Xu Feiyan?

They hadn't even considered that.

After all, she was his daughter.

Xu Feiyan was so angry she was rendered speechless.

However, she knew she was indeed being unreasonable.

"If you want to clash head-on, then as you wish…"

Just at that moment, Xu Feiyan swung her saber over.

This time, Xu Hao didn't dodge; he raised his saber to meet hers.

He effortlessly neutralized the power behind that strike.

Xu Feiyan looked stunned.

She hadn't expected her full-power strike to be blocked so easily by Xu Hao.

Before she could react—

She felt her saber-holding hand swing uncontrollably to the side.

It struck down fiercely.

The power that erupted was actually several times greater than before.

Xu Feiyan was startled.

Looking closely—

It was Xu Hao, holding his saber and guiding her saber down.

Then he drew her into another strike to the other side.

The power grew even stronger.

It landed on a piece of marble.

With a sharp "crack," the marble was cleanly sliced in half.

Ah, this…

Monstrous waves raged in Xu Feiyan's heart.

She looked at Xu Hao with a face full of shock.

She could cut this marble in half too.

But that would require unleashing her full power, and with a sharpened Tang saber.

But… her saber wasn't even sharpened!

And—

She felt that this strike was far from the limit.

Even if she exerted all her strength, she could only split stone that hard.

Yet when guided by Xu Hao, splitting stone this hard felt effortless…

Shattering stone with a single strike.

The girls on the side were completely stunned.

Why wasn't it going the way they had imagined?

They thought an unsharpened Tang saber wouldn't be very powerful.

Yet a single strike cut marble cleanly in half?

"Dad is way too amazing! Just guiding Fifth Sister's strike could shatter stone. I can't imagine how strong his true power is."

The one who spoke was Xu Shiqing, who had just snapped back to her senses.

Xu Huayi said with shining eyes,

"That strike was so cool! Is Dad teaching Fifth Sister? It's like a master giving guidance in Wuxia shows. That's so romantic! I want to learn from Dad too!"

Xu Hongzhuang's eyes sparkled.

"There's no need to continue the match. Fifth Sister has already lost."

Hasn't she lost already?

Looking at Dad's demeanor, he didn't care about winning or losing at all.

Instead, he was teaching Xu Feiyan how to use the saber.

Xiao Wanling covered her mouth in shock.

Her little heart was beating wildly.

Uncle Xu was so cool at this moment!

She really wanted to spar with Uncle Xu too.

[Ding… Xu Shiqing is extremely excited, Emotion Points +741…]

[Ding… Xu Huayi…]

[Ding… Xu Feiyan's mind is deeply shaken, Emotion Points +741…]

After guiding Xu Feiyan through two saber strikes, Xu Hao did not stop.

He continued to let her feel that sensation of executing a strike.

Xu Feiyan also knew that Xu Hao was teaching her.

She immediately set aside her shocked thoughts.

And carefully felt the sensation…

Just as Xu Feiyan was starting to get a feel for it and was about to achieve a breakthrough—

Xu Hao stopped his movements.

Causing Xu Feiyan to throw him a resentful look.

Xu Hao feigned a sigh.

"Teaching you like this requires immense control over my strength. Even I can't hold out for long."

"If I teach you hands-on, it will be much easier, and it'll be easier for you to comprehend too…"

Xu Feiyan was especially obsessed with martial arts.

Especially at this crucial moment where she was about to comprehend and increase her strength.

She hurriedly said,

"I feel like I'm about to get it! Teach me hands-on…"

She spoke as if it were only natural.

Gone was that feeling from the first time Xu Hao taught her hands-on—

That feeling of shame and embarrassment so intense she felt like she was going to explode.

Xu Hao, of course, was not unable to hold out for long.

His Physique was exceedingly strong.

His Grandmaster-level Eighteen Martial Arts allowed him to master every weapon with extreme finesse.

It was just that teaching like this didn't farm much Emotion Points.

He wouldn't do something that took effort with little reward.

Although his fifth daughter was already used to hands-on teaching,

It could still gain him a bit more.
