[TheTavius08: You gotta no answer or i have no favorite is not an answer.Its fine to be honest]

[Keltic_Spirit: No!!! I'm late!]

…

Jayden, who was blown out of the stage, couldn't help but raise his head while clutching his body. It was painful, but what he had seen was enough for the next stage of his improvement.

'I'm still lacking.' Jayden let out a long sigh. His inferiority complex gradually disappeared, allowing him to be calmer in most situations.

There were still three people left. Li Wei and Avalon were ready to stop Theo again, while Lancelot was waiting for the right time to release his fire.

"Teacher… Do you mind if I ask something?" Li Wei suddenly spoke.

"What? Are you stalling?" Theo smiled.

"No." Li Wei shook his head.

However, Theo still said, "We'll leave it after this battle unless it's important enough."

"Understood. Forgive my impudence." Li Wei took a deep breath and gathered his focus. He jumped toward Theo while waving his sword. Avalon also did the same. Only both of them could stop Theo.

Although they failed earlier, that was the closest attempt to hurt Theo.

Li Wei utilized his sword intent to the limit. Meanwhile, Avalon took this chance to speed up once again.

Theo had understood the improvement of his students, so he didn't hold back anymore. Although this was a perfect chance for him to use his spirit, Theo actually planned to fight using only his illusion, Space Dao and martial arts.

He wanted to show what he had gotten in the past month too.

The moment Li Wei and Avalon came closer, Theo's eyes flashed.

Li Wei struck Theo while thinking, 'Anything that I want to cut will be cut. Moon Slashing Sword.'

Avalon became even more focused as the world slowed down once again. He would definitely avoid Theo's hand and injure him in one way or another this time.

But it was Theo's turn to surprise them.

The moment Theo lowered his hand as if he were going to catch their swords, the space between them began to crack.

"Eh?!" Li Wei and Avalon had the same reaction. They ended up hitting the crack instead of Theo's hands, which caused the space to shatter into glasses. Theo turned into multiple fragments that were reflected on the shattered space, but to their surprise, Theo's hands suddenly emerged from one of those shattered glasses.

Li Wei and Avalon wanted to react, but it was too late. Theo swiftly grabbed their necks.

Both of them didn't know what was happening to Theo, but the shattered glasses soon disappeared and the space between them was distorted. The figure of Theo in those shattered glasses had turned back to the original.

It turned out that Theo had never left. He just made those cracks and applied the space Dao to distort their vision. Then, with a touch of illusion, he perfected that misdirection technique.

"Fire—" Lancelot hurriedly shot his flame to stop Theo from throwing these two guys outside the training field, but it ended up with Theo tossing them to Lancelot instead.

"!!!" Lancelot hurriedly extinguished his flame, but the essence was still flying toward them.

"Gah!" Li Wei was blown away from it, while Avalon's constitution and defense were a bit better than Li Wei, allowing him to withstand that attack. He even used that to stop his momentum and land on the ground.

Unfortunately for him, Theo used his teleportation to appear next to Avalon.

Avalon could only raise his head to see him, but he seemed to be regretting his choice.

"You should have just left the arena through that attack," said Theo before kicking Avalon away.

Avalon crashed to the ground head first, making the students agree with what Theo said. He wouldn't have to suffer twice if he just knocked himself out.

And because of this, Lancelot was the only one left.

"Instead of taking away the fire element, you should have removed the essence. In the end, the fire won't be able to exist without the fuel, Lancelot." Theo sighed.

"I know, but it's easier said than done. My fire is so overwhelming that just a little bit of it is enough to create a giant fire, but in the end, that fire element is only 'few,' which I can take out at any moment."

"Well, are you going to continue? Or do you plan to show me something else?"

Lancelot fell silent for a moment before saying, "A good commander has to know when to retreat. I give up." Lancelot sneakily escaped from the throw and made his way toward the rest of the group.

Meanwhile, Mia seemed to have defeated the remaining students.

"Hehehe." Mia was laughing while sitting on top of Maya's big robot.

Haruka was sitting on the ground while looking at Mia fiercely. The twins were lying down on the floor, unable to move.

"It seems that the sparring is over." Theo smiled.

"This is not fair, Teacher. Why do you have to team up with Mia? You shouldn't play favorites." Maya complained.

Theo walked to Maya and flicked her forehead.

"Ouch. What are you doing, Teacher?" Maya never thought Theo would be so petty that he punished her because she complained. However, Theo asked, "You should be able to avoid that flick, right?"

"Eh?!" Maya blinked her eyes a few times. Now that she thought about it, she should have sensed that flick or the danger from that flick.

In fact, the reason she was defeated by Mia was that Mia faked her sense of danger, causing her to notice more dangers than she could see.

It was probably the demon's power. Unlike Mia, Theo didn't give any sense of danger.

"This…" Maya looked down, falling into deep thought.

"You are perceiving danger. It's an extremely powerful ability, but it's, by no means, a perfect power. Even my illusion can make you think that you are not in danger. Or the enemy can do it like Mia, confusing you with more dangers than you are able to see.

"What you should do from now on is master your perception. You have to be able to determine which ones are not a danger and eliminate them. Of course, you have to rely on your other senses as well. What if you have to defuse a bomb by cutting a wire? Your senses won't be able to perceive danger until it's too late. I'm telling you not to be overly reliant on your danger perception, understand?"

"Y-yes." After that lesson, there was no way Maya could complain.

"Haruka is the same. I can see that you have improved. You are not timid anymore, but I can see that you have grown a little bit reckless. The way you utilize your familiar is good, but don't forget that you are an exorcist. Instead of being too aggressive, what if you actually utilize your terrain?"

"Terrain?" Haruka tilted her head in confusion.

"Yes. Well, basically, everything in your surroundings. Place a talisman on your friend's back or your familiar's body so that they can release a sneak attack. Place it on a wall or something to create a certain formation. I don't know much about the exorcist, but I do know that you can be more strategic."

"…" Haruka fell silent. It seemed that she noticed something missing from her. In the past, she was too timid to use any bold tactics. Right now, she is too aggressive.

What Theo wanted was a balance between her past and present. It was time for her to use bold tactics, but she still had to contain herself to not be too aggressive. Instead, she should create an opportunity by using those tactics.

Haruka politely bowed. "Thank you very much, Teacher."

"As for the twins…" Theo sighed. "You guys are too playful. I'm not saying that you are wrong, but if you want to be playful, take advantage of that to make it look like Mia. Annoy your opponents. People say that the strongest defense is the strongest offense, but if you don't use it correctly, your opponent won't bother.

"Your idea of trapping someone is already good, but you have to ensure it with multiple barriers. Both of you know what each other is planning to do, so join hands to set up a barrier in their movements to hinder them. You can laugh at them for failing to make a single move, which would eventually stress them out.

"Once they reach the boiling point, they won't have any other choice but to become a bit reckless."

"Thank you very much." Luca and Lucas lowered their heads, looking slightly down.

"You even have some time to take a look at our fight, Dad?" Mia gasped. She thought that the seven students were able to make him focus on them, but it seemed that they had to train much harder.

Theo then turned to the seven students and said, "Alright. Who is going to be next? Ah, right! What do you want to ask earlier, Li Wei?"

Li Wei was rather serious with this question. "How did you use sword martial arts when you didn't have a sword with you, Teacher?"

He must be talking when Theo used the Dawn Cross Wave, Theo thought. He raised his hand and made a gripping motion as if there was something inside his hand. "So, do you see a sword?"

Li Wei tilted his head in confusion before shaking his head. "I see nothing."

"Is that so? Why do I see a sword in my hand?"

"Huh?"

"After swinging the sword for so long, when you put down your sword and try to grip the air as if there is a sword in your hand, will you be able to sense the sword? Will your hand sense the firmness of your sword handle? Will your nose pick up the smell of the metal?" Theo made it a bit simpler for him to understand.

"…" Li Wei raised both hands as if he were holding a sword. When he thought about it, he might have wielded the sword for so long that even without a sword in his hand, he felt like there was something.

"I believe that in my hand, there is a sword. My mind imagines that sword, my eyes see that sword, my nose smells it… Why do you think there is no sword in your hand?"

"!!!" Li Wei widened his eyes in shock as if he had come to a realization. That was right. He had wielded his sword for as long as he could remember. It was to the point that he knew everything about his sword. Just like love, he was able to sense the firmness of the handle.

"I imagine the sword, my heart believes there is a sword, my intention is to have a sword, my eyes confirm the sword, my nose smells the metal blade, my touch affirms it… the sword is in there the whole time…" Li Wei blinked after muttering all those words. And just for a split second, his brain made him hallucinate that he was actually holding a sword.

Li Wei finally understood that the sword was always there. He'd just never utilized it.

Upon that realization, Li Wei suddenly fell into deep meditation. His essence was shrouding his body.

When this essence touched the skin of the people around him, they felt like they were being stabbed by numerous swords, causing them to move away out of reflex.

"This is…" Avalon suddenly grabbed his sword as the latter was trying to fly out of the scabbard.

Lancelot was the same. He did everything he could to suppress his blade.

However, the other students weren't prepared for this. All of a sudden, their swords came out of the scabbards, shattered the window, and flew toward Li Wei.

"!!!" Victoria, who had been watching the whole fight, abruptly opened her window and jumped to the training field. There was a teacher from the cultivation world who did the same as if he recognized this phenomenon.

Theo also warned his students by using the illusion to tell them directly in their minds. "Move away from Li Wei and don't disturb him. Go back to the class. I will continue the lesson once he's done."

The students didn't know what was going on, but still followed Theo's instructions. They politely bowed to Theo before moving back to the classroom.

As soon as Victoria landed in front of Theo, the latter gave her a nod as if confirming her doubt.

The teacher from the cultivator world couldn't help but gasp. He muttered in a very low voice, "This is… a sword phenomenon… The air has become sharp like there are thousands of swords. Treating the heavens and earth as a sword… This must be the legendary Sword Mind, but how can a student achieve the Sword Mind? Even if he has a Sword Intent, he would have to achieve the Sword Heart first before the Sword Mind…"

'Did I just break the concept? Well, whatever.' Theo looked away while Victoria was squinting her eyes as if demanding an explanation from him.

Theo didn't want to be bothered while his student was in enlightenment, so he walked away a little bit. Your next chapter is on My Virtual Library Empire

'Alright. I think I have enough time to reply to the comments.' Theo sighed, knowing that his readers were rather impatient. It was better to solve this one first while waiting for Li Wei to finish. "Since you want to know that, then I will say it now. My favorite commenter is…"
