Chapter 438 Apprentice Of Three Old Men (1/2)

”Young man, don't worry. We'll shoulder the consequences of you destroying those swords.

We value a promising swordsman like you more than those treasured swords.

Besides, when they were being made, the souls of famous swordsmen who had been heroes before their deaths were merged into those swords. I guess they'd rather be defeated and vanish than stay stuck inside the swords forever.

Actually, we have long wanted to smash these swords into pieces. But since we are responsible for guarding this place, we can't do that.

We're glad you destroyed the swords and did the swordsmen's souls a big favor by freeing them,” one of the three old men explained as he smiled from ear to ear.

”Oh, really?”

Austin gave them an embarrassed smile.

He thought they would punish him when they saw the broken swords, but he was wrong. It was interesting for Austin to see them glad rather than mad.

”Young man, how old are you?”

”Seventeen,” Austin answered.

”Wow, so young, yet promising! You will make an outstanding swordsman in the future.

We've rarely seen such young cultivators like you in recent years.”

The three old men gathered around Austin, eyeing him from head to toe. The more they studied him, the more they liked him, as if he was some rare treasure.

”Oh, by the way, who's your master?

He must be a man of discernment, with an eye for talent, to have found you.”

”Gentlemen, to be honest, I used to be an outer disciple of the Sun Sect, and no one taught me how to use a sword,” Austin answered honestly.

”What?!

So you mean you've acquired these achievements all by yourself? Wow, you are indeed a born swordsman.

Young man, I really like you.

How about this? Since you don't have a master, why not be our apprentice?”

suggested one of the three old men.
