"Are you still watching that little Butterfly Person?"
From a distance, he saw Silver Horn with his hands behind his back, leisurely descending from the clouds.
"If I remember correctly, she’s that little disciple of Galo, right?"
As one of the few students who had already mastered [Soaring Clouds and Mist] and [Telepathy] before graduation, Galo’s fame was far greater than she herself imagined.
At the very least, Silver Horn still remembered that charming and lovable little girl.
"Yes, but she’s not Galo’s little disciple, just her student,"
Gold Horn corrected, casting a rather curious glance at Silver Horn.
A student is a student, a disciple is a disciple...
This distinction was clear-cut, whether on Earth or in the Mythical Era.
Or, more precisely, the concept of a "student" only emerged after Li Boyang established the school.
In contrast, a disciple was truly someone who could carry on the mantle.
Even for Li Boyang, the disciples he genuinely recognized were only Lu Huaijin, Gold Horn, and Silver Horn.
"What’s the difference?"
"She’s going to take on a disciple sooner or later, isn’t she?"
Silver Horn shrugged indifferently, and a strange light flickered across the silver gourd on his back.
The next second, a stream of Sword Qi shot out from the silver gourd, instantly transforming into several long swords aimed at Gold Horn.
However, Gold Horn evidently anticipated this.
He gently flicked his sleeve, and a giant golden palm manifested.
It was the tangible manifestation of [Body-Protecting Gang Qi], naturally inheriting Gold Horn’s formidable defensive properties.
Clang!
In an instant, the sound of metal clashing rang out sharply.
Just like countless "sneak attacks" before, Silver Horn’s offensive was effortlessly neutralized by Gold Horn.
"You’ve made quite some progress this time, haven’t you?"
Gold Horn looked slightly surprised at the Sword Qi dancing at his fingertips, clearly feeling a slight sting from it.
"This is called ’Innate Invisible Sword Qi,’ designed specifically to break your Golden Body Gang Qi!"
Not at all surprised by Gold Horn’s display, Silver Horn proudly remarked.
"Master once said that aside from the Three Paths of Essence, Qi, and Spirit, the Heart Path has also begun to take shape."
"My ’Innate Invisible Sword Qi’ integrates part of the Heart Path’s power, born of thought, indestructible."
Understandingly nodding, Gold Horn replied with sudden realization.
"I see, no wonder this Sword Qi feels so eerie."
"Forged with Essence, refined with Qi, controlled with Spirit, and driven by Heart..."
"No wonder it can unleash such a terrifying killing intent and murderous aura with such meager power."
As he spoke, Gold Horn’s gaze unconsciously shifted to the silver gourd behind Silver Horn.
Always considering himself the elder brother, Gold Horn suddenly realized he hadn’t seen Silver Horn unleash the silver gourd’s full power in quite some time.
Never mind the [Immortal Slaying Flying Knife] within the gourd.
The mere thousands of Sword Qi contained within, once unleashed, were enough to destroy both heaven and earth.
"Hmph! No matter how much I progress, it can’t compare to your progress!"
The pride on Silver Horn’s face instantly turned to jealousy; he disliked Gold Horn’s overly humble attitude.
If his progress was significant, then what about Gold Horn, who effortlessly blocked his attack?
Had he not known that Gold Horn had always been like this,
Silver Horn would have suspected that the other was deliberately setting him up for failure.
"You came here this time, surely for Yunxiu and Zixiu, right?"
Seeing the situation, Gold Horn, who also knew Silver Horn’s personality well, quickly changed the topic.
This little sister of his was excellent in every way, except her aggressive and competitive nature that would seemingly never change.
"This time you guessed right; I came specifically for them."
Intentionally casting a glance at Gold Horn, Silver Horn didn’t believe that the other had failed to notice the peculiarities of Yunxiu and Zixiu.
"Did Master send you?"
After a brief pause, Gold Horn asked in return.
With Gold Horn’s abilities, it was naturally impossible for him to not notice the peculiarities in Yunxiu.
In fact, Zixiu and Yunxiu being allowed to come to Spirit Gathering Island to cultivate out of the norm had already received Li Boyang’s approval.
After all, this was the only university within the Hundred Li Mountain Range.
Currently, those eligible to learn spells and Divine Powers here, except for a few Innate Divine with extraordinary talent, were only the Three-Eyed Mountain People.
No need to mention the former.
Favored by Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, as long as they did not meet an early end, their lowest potential was to be Gods.
As for the latter?
They were known as the "Three-Eyed Holy Demons" in the outside world.
Reasons citing exceptional talent or innate deficiencies, granting special permission to practice here, were things only the inexperienced Zixiu and Yunxiu would believe.
"Of course, if it weren’t for Master, I wouldn’t bother coming here to see you!"
Watching the insincere Silver Horn, Gold Horn couldn’t help but laugh.
Yet since Silver Horn came to see him, Gold Horn chose not to expose the other’s intentions.
"Rest assured, with me watching, nothing major will go wrong."
Speaking with his usual composure, Gold Horn shared his observations and conclusions from this time.
"As for Zixiu, it’s basically certain that he is a Heart Demon."
"He simply avoided direct possession by cunningly taking advantage of the ’Reincarnation System’s’ loophole, allowing himself to reincarnate as a Butterfly Person."
Prior to the establishment of the "Six Paths of Reincarnation System," reincarnation was a privilege usually reserved for powerful Gods.
However, since the "Six Paths of Reincarnation System" was established, special existences like Heart Demons could also use the Heaven-Soul System for targeted reincarnation.
If not for his overly mature mentality, making him distinct from ordinary Butterfly People, even Gold Horn might have been unsure about his true identity.
"What about Yunxiu then?"
Silver Horn asked, slightly frowning.
Compared to the exceptionally talented Zixiu, Yunxiu’s performance was completely ordinary in every way.
Adding to her innate deficiencies, Silver Horn couldn’t imagine her being a Heart Demon.
However, Silver Horn trusted his Master’s judgment; since Master had Yunxiu and Zixiu practice on Spirit Gathering Island, it suggested she indeed had issues.
"Ah, Yunxiu? Her situation is even more complex than Zixiu’s."
After a slight hesitation, Gold Horn spoke softly.
"Firstly, she is indeed congenitally lacking; had the Butterfly People not migrated to the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, she wouldn’t have survived."
The Butterfly People’s growth phases are divided into embryo, larva, and adult.
Yunxiu, theoretically, would have died in the embryo stage.
However, due to the formation of the Butterfly People’s societal system, she received sufficient nutritional supplements.
From a rational standpoint, Gold Horn didn’t think any Heart Demon would foolishly choose such a doomed body for descent.
"I administered the ’Innate Qi Meridian Blood Qi Replenishment Pill’ to her, barely elevating her physique to the level of an average Butterfly Person."
