Chapter 126

The Strange Moving Technique

Chengfeng was stunned for a second. As he looked into the Grand Senior Brother's eyes, he smirked, “Grand Senior Brother, if you felt like I'm suspicious, even if I were drinking and eating like normal, you would still find me suspicious; if you didn't think that I was suspicious, then even if I burnt down the entire Valley of Ten Thousand Swords, you would still find an excuse for me.”

“Enough smooth talk! You're here to sabotage the Heaven Splitting Array within the Spiritual Moon Sect aren't you?!” replied Grand Senior Brother as he gritted his teeth.

Chengfeng chuckled, “Grand Senior Brother, please think carefully. If I really were trying to sabotage the Heaven Splitting Array, why would I present myself so vulnerably in front of you? Even risking my life? Not to mention, if this heavenly array was so powerful, how could I possibly break it with just one touch?”

Grand Senior Brother's glare slowly resided, but he had yet let his guard down as he asked, “Then who in the world are you? Why did the Dragon of Ten Thousand Swords show such a violent response after just one touch from you?! We had never seen such a thing occur in the hundreds of years that the valley was formed!”

Chengfeng freed his collar from the Grand Senior Brother's hands, responding in anger, “Grand Senior Brother, the one who almost lost their life just now was ME! Yet your Ten Thousand Sword Heaven Splitting Array is still in perfect condition. Just by looking at this point, shouldn't I be the one to question you? Could it be that you were the one who had purposely lured me in here to kill me?”

Grand Senior Brother was furious. Just as he was about to reply, Chengfeng immediately continued, “But I know that you do not harbour such intentions, because if you really did want to kill us, you wouldn't have tried to save our lives. You would have just stood there and watched as we perished within the blades. That's why I wouldn't think that.”

“Including myself, we only have around ten people give or take within Hidden Sword Court. If we were to have a scuffle among ourselves, then our court would perish for sure!” said Chengfeng sincerely. Upon hearing this, Grand Senior Brother's anger slowly faded.

Grand Senior Brother continued to stare at Chengfeng. As the two stared into each other's eyes, Xiaobao and Yuehan who stood beside them felt as if the air had solidified. After some time, the Grand Senior Brother finally spoke, “Alright. Tomorrow morning you shall go on a drill with your brother disciples, and I will be there to personally train all of you. If you were to be late or fall behind the group, then the earlier you leave our court the better. And stop trying to talk your way out of things! You should know that if you rely on your mouth, you won't be able to talk your opponents to death!”

As Grand Senior Brother finished his sentence, he turned around to face Xiaobao and studied him. It seemed as if he was hesitating. Chengfeng who was beside him quickly asked, “Grand Senior Brother, how do you use this Zimu Lightning Sword? We wish for you to guide us with your wisdom.”

Grand Senior Brother chuckled, “Even if I told you the methods of wielding it, what can you do? Only when you reach a certain level of cultivation that you can use this magical weapon. Only when you succeed in cultivating the Invincible Golden Body that you can use this magical weapon in its full potential. It's not that I look down on you, it's just that the time you have left… is not enough.”

Chengfeng persistently replied, “But Grand Senior Brother, even if you just point a direction, we would at least know where we should head to in the future! What if we were able to withstand the hard challenges?”

Grand Senior Brother laughed light-heartedly, “Then let's talk after you withstood them!”

Chengfeng was annoyed, “But… we haven't chosen our sword yet?”

“This means that you are not fated with these swords. It could be… that you might have to find a sword on your own,” replied Grand Senior Brother. As he focused on Chengfeng, he noticed that Chengfeng had his hands behind his back and his eyes closed, not uttering a word more.

Chengfeng felt helpless. He could only look at Xiaobao and Yuehan, and the three of them followed the road they came from as they returned to their quarters.

As they reached their quarters, Xiaobao started to fiddle with the Zimu Lightning Sword in his hands. He wielded it and made a slash with his double swords, noticing that the design of this sword was too unique, and it was hard for him to wield it smoothly. However, he did not want to give up and continued to practice as much as he could.

Yuehan, on the other hand, started to tidy up and repair bits and pieces of the old and beat up house. Chengfeng went back to his room and began to think about what had just happened earlier.

During today's journey, other than Xiaobao having luckily picked up a treasure and himself having his horizons broadened, it seems like this journey had been for nought. If their other journeys continued on like this, it would be a b.u.mmer.

Chengfeng laid against the stiff and hard bed that was made last minute. His arms pillowed his head while he muttered to himself, 'How should I make myself stronger more quickly? Magical treasures… if we were to look at it in the short term, it's not going to happen so soon…'

When he completed the first challenge of the Spiritual Moon Sect's entrance test, he knew of their attentive intention. They used this hard and tiring challenge to explain to every one of them that the cultivation path has no shortcuts, that a thousand journeys were made possible by each step! There must be an acc.u.mulation of a long period of time, only then can it lead to an evolution of the body!

But… I don't have the time to wait!

Chengfeng spun his head around the problem, trying to find a solution. Only to realise he had only one choice— the technique that he had memorised from his dream.
