Heaven Martial Country, Cloud City, Yun Family, rear mountain.

A sixteen year old teenager continued to brandish his Longsword as sweat soaked his clothes. He turned around, causing drops of sweat to splash out. Under the illumination of the sun, the beads of sweat fell onto the ground one by one.

Ten years. Ten whole years. He practiced every day. Besides sleeping and eating, all of his time was given to the sword.

His sword techniques continued to improve, but he was still unable to cultivate any Genuine Qi.

”I don't believe that I can't master it. I don't believe that I will forever be a cripple!”

In less than three breaths, Zhang Xuan had started practicing once more.

The wind blew and the fallen leaves flew in the air!

The Longsword seemed to have grown a pair of eyes as it pierced through the fallen leaves one by one. When a distant fallen leaf landed on the ground, the Longsword's surface was already filled with fallen leaves.

”Good, that's great, Brother Yun Fan!” A beautiful young girl ran over excitedly.

The young Longsword waved and the leaves on the sword flew out, dancing in the air. She reached out her hand to hold the young girl's hand, revealing a bright and beautiful smile.

”Yujiao, you're here! ”Sit down!”

Yun Fan used his sleeves to wipe the rocks beside him, allowing Yun Yujiao to sit.

”Brother Yun Fan, you're working too hard aren't you? Training with the sword everyday is not tiring at all! ”

Yun Fan shook his head, which was covered in sweat. I have to become the Patriarch of Yun Family sooner or later. How can I not have the strength? Furthermore, my dad hasn't had any news of me in the past few years. If I can't even protect the position that he gave me, how would I have the face to go and find him? ”

”But didn't you not manage to cultivate Genuine Qi? Without the Genuine Qi, what's the use of having a good sword technique? ”

Yun Fan was the son of the previous Patriarch, Yun Xiao. As the son of the family head, he had good training environments and resources.

All of this should have been destined for him to become the pride of the heavens, but sadly, he could not cultivate Genuine Qi.

Genuine Qi was the foundation of everything, no matter how strong the martial skill was, it needed Genuine Qi to be activated. Without Genuine Qi, no matter how good a martial skill was, it would just be a show. He was destined to be the trash in others' eyes.

If his father was by his side, he could still give some pointers, but Yun Xiao had already left the family for ten years and there was no news of him.

The reason why he had been cultivating nonstop for the past ten years was because he wanted to refine Genuine Qi, inherit the position of Patriarch, and then inquire about his father.

”Don't worry, I will succeed sooner or later. Oh right, don't tell me you want me to teach you how to practice the sword again? ”

”Of course, other than Brother Yun Fan, who else is stronger than me in Yun Family?” Yun Yujiao got up and pulled out her Longsword, her charming smile full of arrogance.

With the Longsword in hand, he stepped forward. With a flash, the Longsword danced in his hands.

His steps were light, his sword was like the wind, and his moves were flawless. After finishing the practice of the sword technique, Yun Yujiao turned to look at Yun Fan.

”Brother Yun Fan, how's the progress of my Falling Leaf Sword Arts?”

”Very good. He had already mastered it. What you lack right now is only the comprehension of this martial skill. It seems like I don't have anything else to teach you. ” Yun Fan laughed.

The cultivation of a martial skill was divided into four stages: Initiation, initial stage, mastery, and perfection. Yun Yujiao had mastered the《 Falling Leaf Sword Arts》 to perfection, he was only one step away from perfection.

”Heh heh, really? But if not for Brother Yun Fan's careful guidance, I wouldn't be able to cultivate what I have now. ”

”This is not my credit, the《 Falling Leaf Sword Arts》 is a high-grade Yellow Level martial skill. If it was any other disciple of the clan, even if I were to teach them every day, they wouldn't be as good as you. ” Yun Fan said seriously.

There were a lot of disciples in Yun Family, but whether it was in terms of talent or comprehension, Yun Yujiao was definitely the number one person.

Yun Yujiao was a disciple from a side branch of the Yun Family, so the resources available to the disciples from a side branch were limited.

These two years, Yun Fan had always been teaching her sword techniques, to the point where only the Patriarch knew how to learn the Falling Leaf Sword Arts. The two of them were often together and had always been on good terms.

”Although this martial skill is called 'Falling Leaf Sword Arts', its essence is still the comprehension of the wind. If you go and feel the wind, you will be able to train even better. ”

”Well, I will. Brother Yun Fan, you seem to be very tired, why don't you go back and rest? He couldn't break his body from training so hard. I want to practice a little more...

”Alright, then I won't accompany you!”

Just as Yun Fan left, a middle-aged man walked out from the side.

”Father!” Yun Yujiao said.

This person was Yun Yujiao's father, Yun Hao. He was the third elder of Yun Family, the only elder of a side branch.

”Good, looks like he really taught you all the sword techniques.” It is time to change the position of Patriarch of Yun Family. ” Yun Hao's eyes revealed a trace of ruthlessness.

”Father, don't worry.” No one in Yun Family is my match right now. ” Yun Yujiao waved the sword in his hand, his face filled with arrogance.
