The sunset set the horizon aflaht into the dying sunlight

At the practice grounds of Luojiang Acade’s pupils narrowed as he stared at the wooden sword pointing at him Mentor Wen had a faint s was spurred by Mentor Wen’s words A well-sculpted eyebrow arched challengingly

Liu Bubai was not one for subtlety He nodded and declared, “Master, get ready to lose!”

He did not use the exquisite sword in his hand Instead, he picked up one of the acadelong each held a wooden sword

A distance away, Zhao Wuji and the e of the weapons squatted by the weapons shelf, tobacco pipes between their lips

The old mentor squinted his eyes as smoke blew out froonna toy with them Every year around this tios of the acade sword disciples Hopefully, the kids can survive his training”

Zhao Wuji put on an honest smile “Old Wen Seven? The seventh-ranked in the Imperial Examination who joined the Sword Guild, became a sword master and left the sect for a woman? The one who stayed in Ian Acade?”

“That’s the bastard,” the old mentor said with a chuckle

The old mentor looked at Mentor Wen with soy as ti had so much promise back then If he had stayed with the Sword Guild, he would have ascended to the fourth class now”

Zhao Wuji sounded equally rueful when he said, “The fault lies not with him The woman he chased after… She was a force that shook the earth to its core He’s not the only man who fell for her irresistible charan discussing the wo Dynasty at their feet

In the practice ring, Liu Bubai led the charge with his burning ego Although his cultivation was a far cry from that of his mentor, he had confidence in his sword techniques He just had to make Mentor Wen move one step

Without cultivation in play, he believed the difference in their sword skills wasembers of the sun made Liu Bubai’s blade look like it was on fire

“Master, forgive me”

“Too slow, too weak Was all the rice you ate for naught?”

Mentor Wen gave Liu Bubai a cold stare The wooden shipped out in a precise fashi+on

Whack! Whack!

Two strikes

Liu Bubai’s wooden sword sailed through the air and clattered onto the ground

The counterattack was so swift, Liu Bubai did not even see the draw

Fast!

Unwilling to give up, he retrieved his wooden sword and lunged froon tearing through the air

On the other end, the wooden sword in Mentor Wen’s hand ainst one another Liu Bubai lost grip of his sword

From the start to end, Mentor Wen did not move a step

“Rubbish

“Three of you, coether”

Mentor Wen threw the wooden sword back at a pale-faced Liu Bubai

“Sword fighting is all about technique You have to cherish every opportunity to strike, attack with power and strength More iood vision,” Mentor Wen lectured impassively

At that moment, the trio of students felt the intense aura that radiated froainst the legendary First Sith a wall of glinting swords aiht danced in Jiang Linglong’s eyes Underneath the veil, red lips curled into a smirk “You’re the infa”

Whoosh!+

Jiang Linglong drew her sword—the blade left afteri

Mentor Wen easily deflected Jiang Linglong’s attack but surprise flashed across his eyes

“This is the Four Season Form I think I knoho you are,” Mentor Wen said as he parried the blows raining down on him

He had a measure of respect for the lady and it showed on his face

“I a under you Please, treat ’s voice ithout inflection but there was a hint of arrogance underlying her words
