For Han Sen, archery was not difficult . It was a combat profession he adored, and when it was his time to teach students, he committed to the lectures with keen sincerity .

"Tutor Han, I have heard you know of the skill called 'Drillhead . ' Could you teach us that?" a person asked . He was young, and wanted to learn a cool technique .

The idea of learning Drillhead quickly overtook the minds of many of Han Sen's students . Now, they all wanted Han Sen to teach them how to perform it .

In response, Han Sen smiled and said, "It's a complex skill . Skills that you would think of as being 'cool' are usually quite complicated . But you must first learn how to perform the basic talents, and achieve mastery with many of the early techniques before you can learn a skill such as Drillhead . It requires much dexterity with the bow . "

"But Tutor Han, we have already learned our basic skills . We did so in the Military Academy," responded the man who initially asked .

"Ah, but I'm different . You learned those beginner moves from someone elsenot me . " Han Sen smiled warmly, and then went on to say, "Now, let's talk about the bow . "

Drillhead required its user to have already adopted a drilling skill . It was not something someone could learn, or achieve even a modicum of true talent with, in just a few lessons . Han Sen wanted to speak in broader strokes that covered the combat arts of archery .

Unfortunately, it was a fairly boring lecture . But, as dull as it may have been, what was taught was very important . If the students heeded what Han Sen told them, their chances of survival and future success would be much greater .

That being said, if the students did not listen, there was nothing Han Sen could do to force them otherwise .

Cool skills were flashy, and they attracted much attention . But the students were young, and Han Sen wanted to teach them lessons that were truly meaningful, and could have a longer-lasting impact on their lives .

Young people weren't too keen on having others tell them what to do, though . And few enjoyed lengthy speeches .

Many people were becoming greatly disappointed with the lecture . They'd expected to learn a great deal, and to be inspired and uplifted by his speech . With their expectations dashed, their hearts continued to sink lower and lower with each sentence of Han Sen's on-stage rambling .

But not all of the students were like this . Many of the smart and focused students still paid great attention to Han Sen .

Overall, Han Sen wasn't a particularly good teacher . And while many of his students might have ended up walking away disappointed, he didn't regret the methodology or content of his lecture . Archery was his passion, and he was happy to share his wisdom about the subject .

When the lesson ended, two students approached Han Sen . One had black hair, whereas the other had red .

When the lesson ended, two students approached Han Sen . One had black hair, whereas the other had red .

"Tutor Han, can I ask you a few questions?" the black-haired man asked politely .

"Of course," Han Sen said .

"I would like to ask if it's reasonable to use a bow in close-quarter combat?" the black-haired man said .

Han Sen initially believed the man would ask something else regarding Drillhead . This question came as quite a surprise .

"Hm, that is a good question . Contact me with this ID later, and I will tell you more . For now, move on to the next lecture . I don't want to be held responsible disrupting other classes with late-running students . " Han Sen provided them with his ID .

He had been asked a question that could not be explained in a hurry . Plus, they had a few more lessons to attend immediately after his . Provided they were willing to listen, Han Sen would be happy to teach them more later .

"Thank you, Tutor Han . " Then they continued on their way .

"Not bad . " Qin Xuan appeared, smiling as she approached Han Sen .

"The students, on the whole, don't seem pleased with what I was telling them," Han Sen said .

"The students, on the whole, don't seem pleased with what I was telling them," Han Sen said .

"What you said was fine; they are just too young and inexperienced to grasp what you were saying to them . " Qin Xuan took a moment to smile softly . Then, she went on to say, "Those boys from the Arthur family came to ask you something . Is everything okay?"

"They just had some questions regarding archery . " Han Sen was a little surprised by her sudden questioning, so he asked, "Why? Is there something wrong with them?"

"Well, they can be considered the most troublesome members of the team . I get a headache just looking at them . " Qin Xuan smiled, then asked, "Right . And what about my proposition, have you considered what to do with it?"

"With what? The Taia sword? I'm still using it for now, but I might sell it when I get a better weapon in the future," Han Sen explained .

"All right, then," Qin Xuan said .

Han Sen thought this was strange . She was usually never this pushy and inquisitive, so he realized that the sword must mean more to her family than she was letting on .

"Can you tell me why this blade is so important to you?" Han Sen asked .

Qin Xuan fell silent and still for a moment . When her speech returned, she said, "I can tell you, but it's a secret . You cannot tell anyone else . "

"I can keep a secret, don't worry," Han Sen said .

Qin Xuan fell silent and still for a moment . When her speech returned, she said, "I can tell you, but it's a secret . You cannot tell anyone else . "

"I can keep a secret, don't worry," Han Sen said .

After another lengthy pause, Qin Xuan resumed by saying, "You once asked me about Qin Huaizhen . This blade relates to him . "

"Those two are connected?" Han Sen had never confirmed that the person he once found frozen beneath the Black Desert was indeed Qin Huaizhen . And he had always wondered why that man had told him to be wary of Han Jingzhi . And he also wanted to know why the man possessed the Blood-Pulse Sutra . A multitude of questions still lingered around his memory of that strange encounter, and nothing had ever been cleared up .

With the chance of a long-awaited revelation, Han Sen's heart started to beat faster .

When Qin Xuan spoke again, she said, "In the past, the Qin family was not whole . One half was from the Zhou period, named Ji . The other originated from the Qin period, and was named Ying . I come from the Ying, and our lineage hails from the First King . Taia belonged to the First King . Our family also possesses a Qi Gong that requires this sword to be practiced . "

"What Qi Gong requires this sword for practice?" Han Sen asked .

"I can't tell you that," Qin Xuan said with a smile . "Taia is rightfully ours . But the existence of sanctuaries was unknown to us back then . At that time, everyone knew about our Qi Gong; they just lacked the correct sword for practice . Only Qin Huaizhen is known to have used Taia for its practice . "

"Did he succeed in learning the Qi Gong?" Han Sen asked, with great curiosity .

"I believe he did . And after doing so, he joined the Seventh Team to be an investigator . He took Taia with him to the sanctuaries, and when he returned, that sword had been broken in two . The other half was lost to us, for the longest time . He told us it was important for us to recover the other half of Taia, so that we could practice the Qi Gong . "
