Chapter 82 – Incomplete Copy (1/2)

Yang Ye refused Qingxue’s request for him to set the rules of the Sword School with her. He knew nothing about managing, so he’d directly refused. However, he didn’t refuse Qingxue’s request for him to be the Vice School Master of the Sword School. Actually, Qingxue had suggested that he took the position of School Master, yet he’d refused the position.

Yang Ye understood Qingxue’s intentions. She wanted him to be the master of the Sword School so that he would be completely tied together with it. After all, the Sword School needed someone that could deter the outer court disciples, and he was undoubtedly extremely suitable for the task. However, in Yang Ye’s opinion, the status of School Master was a form of restraint.

He wanted to establish connections and a force that could help him in the future. However, he’d never thought about utilizing the Sword School to go against the Flower Palace, because it wasn’t realistic at all. Moreover, he was clearly aware of his own ability. If he took charge of managing the newly established Sword School, then chaos would definitely ensue. On the other hand, managing these members was only a trivial matter to Qingxue who was from a large clan.

So, Yang Ye had refused the position of School Master. In his opinion, it was sufficient so long as he had a network of relations.h.i.+ps within the sword sect in the future, whereas, he had to work hard to become strong now!

After he finished bidding his farewells to Qingxue and the others, Yang Ye arrived at Cool Breeze Gorge, and then he started cultivating in his sword techniques.

After he obtained these sword techniques, Yang Ye was constantly devoid of time to practice them properly because of the Outer Court Exam and the incidents that occurred at his home. Thus, besides the Basic Sword Technique, he’d only dabbled in the other sword techniques. So, Yang Ye had decided to cultivate bitterly in these sword techniques and attain a certain level of mastery in them.

This time, he didn’t have much time as well. Because the date of the Inner Court Exam was in a little over 20 days, and it would also be the time of his battle on the Life and Death Arena with Liu Qingyu. Yang Ye had naturally not forgotten this culprit, Liu Qingyu. However, since Liu Qingyu had returned to the Sword Sect, Yang Ye had no way of killing Liu Qingyu immediately. Moreover, he wasn’t completely confident in his ability to kill Liu Qingyu. After all, the geniuses on the Outer Court Rankings weren’t trash.

Actually, Yang Ye wasn’t completely confident as well when he faced Jang Wen just now. Even though he felt that both Jang Wen and Liu Qingyu weren’t as formidable as that Sword Servant at the First Heaven Realm within the Sword Servant PaG.o.da, he didn’t know if they had trump cards! They would absolutely not fight in an upright and normal manner like the Sword Servant!

So, he’d decided to utilize this period of time to diligently practice all of his sword techniques. Especially the Heavenrend Drawing Technique and the Reactive Strike that he’d created. He’d resolved to merge these two techniques together and then train in it to an adept level! As for the Sword Control Technique, it was just like the Sword Chest, it was his trump card, and he would utilize it carelessly!

Yang Ye withdrew his sword, walked over to an Ironsh.e.l.l Tree that required at least four or five adults to wrap their arms around it, and then he closed his eyes before he started to recall the key points of the Heavenrend Drawing Technique.

At a certain moment after around an hour had pa.s.sed, Yang Ye’s eyes suddenly opened.

Swis.h.!.+

He drew his sword and then sheathed it. His movements were extremely swift!

Crack!

The Ironsh.e.l.l Tree before Yang Ye rumbled and collapsed, causing leaves to be blasted into the air.

Yang Ye was slightly delighted in his heart when he saw this. It was because of the effects of this move, and it was because he’d noticed that it was indeed possible to increase the strength of his attack by a great deal at the instant he drew his sword according to the drawing technique, and it was that explosive force he was looking for. However, his speed wasn’t sufficiently swift because according to the description of the Heavenrend Drawing Technique, he would have only attained an initial grasp of the technique when not a single sound could be heard while he drew his sword.

Drawing the sword without making a sound? How fast would it need to be to accomplish that?

Yang Ye had originally thought that the Reactive Strike he created was already very swift, but when he saw this description, he noticed that his Reactive Strike was still not fast enough, and it had to be improved!

During the following period of time, besides eating, Yang Ye spend all of his time on cultivating. Yang Ye’s time was arranged in this way. In the morning, he trained diligently in the Reactive Strike and Heavenrend Drawing Technique. At noon, he started to train hard in the Sword Control Technique, whereas, he cultivated the Gale Steps at night. Throughout the period of 24 hours in a day, Yang Ye merely rested for four hours, and he utilized 20 hours on cultivating.

Under such painstaking cultivation, Yang Ye grew more and more skilled in his drawing technique after 10 days pa.s.sed by. The sound created at the moment he drew his sword grew softer and softer, but that sheathe of his could be considered to be utterly destroyed. On the other hand, his Sword Control Technique had extended from its precious scope of 3 meters to a scope of 6 meters. He was able to control his sword in an area of 6 meters to carry out some basic movements.

Moreover, Yang Ye noticed a problem as well. The difference in the difficulty of controlling a real sword and an energy sword with the Sword Control Technique was like the difference between the heavens and the earth. He was able to control energy swords at will, but it seemed extremely strenuous as soon as he tried to control real swords, and this caused him to feel slightly puzzled.

However, he quickly came to an understanding. It was because the energy swords were immaterial. So, it was naturally comparatively easier to control immaterial objects. However, real swords were different, they were material and had weights of their own.

After he figured this out, Yang Ye temporarily gave up on training with energy swords. Because the might of an energy sword wasn’t as formidable as a real sword in the end. After all, energy swords couldn’t exist in the air for extended periods of time while real swords could.

Of course, Yang Ye hadn’t given up completely on energy swords. After all, if he was able to control over 100 energy swords, then it would be extremely terrifying as well.

As for the Gale Steps technique, his accomplishments were pretty huge as well. If Yang Ye utilized the Gale Steps technique now, then he could leave a faint afterimage behind!
