9.13 – My martial brother is the most beautiful person in the world

Clans were a very broad concept. Shangdu’s Chi Clan was very good at magic techniques, especially fire magic. Most of the elders and the powerhouses in Chi Clan specialized in fire, but there were also some unexpected geniuses that were talented in other areas.
For example, Chi Lan cultivated on the lightning and fire path. His attack power was explosive, and anything in his hands could become his weapon. He did not purposely cultivate the sword or any other skills, and only used power to break through all techniques. When one stood in front of Chi Lan, they would understand that these things were nothing but external props. In the face of absolute power, they were just that weak.

Another example of this was Chi Jian.
Chi Jian was also considered a genius within the clan, but because the previous generation was too brilliant, it seemed very normal for him to have such a cultivation at his current age. Of course, his low-key personality was also a factor – he was the kind of person who did not pay attention to anything other than cultivation. He only had eyes for his sword, and everything else was nothing but wooden blocks to him.
Perhaps only when he saw an opponent would his eyes shine brightly, and then his intent to fight would rise up.
When the two sword cultivators met, there was really just a few things they could do. Yu Shaofeng and Chi Jian looked at each other for a moment, then turned to the sparring venue that Wang Clan had set up. During the inter-sect competition, other than the battle arenas, the sparring platform was the only place where cultivators were allowed to fight as they liked.
Both of them were of the younger generation, and their cultivation levels differed by a rank, so they had no intention of fighting directly. They competed against each other with sword intent alone, comparing their understanding of the meaning of the sword.
For sword cultivators, to be able to meet another person who understood sword intent, let alone one who felt like old friends upon first meeting, was a very rare thing. Even if there were so many sword cultivators in Sky Sword Sect, there were only a few who understood their own sword intent, and most of them were leaders of their own groups. Even fewer were as young as Yu Shaofeng.
He was still a young boy. His little steamed bun face had not yet grown up and still carried traces of softness, but he had already gotten much taller in the past two months, his figure relatively tall and upright. Coupled with the Sky Sword Sect’s blue and white sect uniform, he looked very proper and good looking, and when he smiled, dimples loomed in the corners of his mouth, making him look as bright as a small sun.

Chi Jian, like his name, also had a fire spiritual root. But for some reason, the sword intent that he had developed was just like an ice crystal, and his spiritual root and sword intent were like two extremes.
Unlike his appearance, Yu Shaofeng’s sword intent was fierce and violent, and carried a compelling momentum. It was aggressive, like thunder and lightning falling in succession, refusing to stop until their opponent was cut down.
These were two very different types of swordsmanship, but in the later stage of their sparring, they seemed to strangely blend together. The feeling that they were at odds with each other lessened considerably. Their gazes met again, and they could see the surprise in each other’s eyes.
Things like sword intent were very vague and unpredictable. Yu Shaofeng had only recently understood the meaning of his sword. A few days ago, when he met Chi Lan, perhaps because the violent lightning contained in his sword intent was similar to his power, Chi Lan had also given him a few pointers on his sword intent. With those one or two sentences from Chi Lan, Yu Shaofeng’s sword intent was not the slightest bit weaker than Chi Jian’s despite not having his own sword.
Chi Jian’s sword intent was not in harmony with his own spiritual roots, but this did not prevent him from cultivating along his own path of the sword. He learned many ice and fire sword techniques over the years, and his sword intent already had a specific direction. If nothing untoward occurred, he would definitely become the most outstanding sword cultivator from Chi Clan in the future.
It was difficult to say if they were lucky or unfortunate to meet under these circumstances. Their sword intents were compatible, which was to say, if their two swords joined forces, their attack power would soar to a very terrifying level…

Well, this would only be in the later stages, when they had become more powerful.
It was very rare to meet a compatible sword cultivator, so when the two of them looked at the other party, they were really quite surprised.
If Xue Ling was there, he would probably understand what was happening now. Chi Jian had a very important role in the later stages of this novel. It was precisely because of his existence that the likelihood of Yu Shaofeng going against Chi Lan doubled.
Chi Jian was a character no less pitiful than Yu Shaofeng. According to the plot outline that the author provided, Chi Lan became a devil, and his clan was destroyed. Chi Jian escaped from this disaster, but Chi Lan became his heart knot. If he wanted to ascend and become an immortal, he would need to defeat Chi Lan. After Chi Lan fell into the devil’s path, it would be very odd if Chi Clan remained on the righteous path, and later on, they suffered a great tribulation. Chi Jian had gone out to cultivate and escaped the disaster, but when he returned, he no longer had a home.
Chi Clan had been labelled as traitors to the righteous path, colluding with those on the devil’s path. Chi Clan’s members either had to forsake their surnames, or else they would be captured and persecuted by the other sects and clans. They had the choice to be killed, or to join the other sects, and in a short time, the entire clan completely disappeared.In order to investigate this matter, Chi Jian joined hands with Yu Shaofeng, who had lost his cultivation and been chased out of his sect, and the two of them broke through many barriers and escaped many dangers by virtue of their combined swords.
If Chi Lan had not unexpectedly flown up to enter the devil world, the two of them might have joined hands to challenge the Venerable Devil.
In a sense, Chi Jian was the second protagonist of the novel, but even before he appeared, the author had dropped the story.
Unexpectedly, Xue Ling’s movements had set off a butterfly effect, and the ripples made it so that the time when the two of them met was brought forward.

If the author really wrote about their meeting, it would probably be pretty much exactly like the scene that had just occurred in front of them.
It looked more like… .
Chi Jian was Yu Shaofeng’s first friend, and he was also from Chi Clan. Given that master of his who refused to acknowledge him, at the very least, they still had some kind of relationship. The two of them stopped sparring, and Yu Shaofeng pulled Chi Jian out of the venue, saying that he wanted to invite him for dinner.
His cultivation was not high, but he could survive without eating or drinking. However, after following his martial brother for so long, he would always want to eat something when there was nothing else to do. Since his elder martial brother was now cultivating in their room, he would naturally drag along his new friend to hang out.
Chi Jian had begun cultivating when he was very young, and this was not his first inter-sect competition. Yu Shaofeng was so full of enthusiasm that he felt moved, too. At the end of the day, the two of them were still young, and two of them wandered around the boundaries of Wang Clan’s lands.
During this period, Yu Shaofeng also interacted a lot with the other party, and although it was mostly one-sided, he still conveniently understood the relationship between the two of them.
If they calculated it, the two of them truly had a relationship. Although Yu Shaofeng was one level of seniority under Chi Jian, the two of them could still be considered as peers.

Because Chi Jian needed to call Chi Lan ‘uncle’, and Yu Shaofeng called him ‘Master’.
