Chapter 351.3 (1/2)

Five Types of Sword Techniques

The first sword was sharp, the second sword was soft and malleable and the third sword was heavy. What advantage does this fourth sword, a wooden sword have?

Could a wooden sword be used to cut people down? Could it be used in battle?!

If it could, wouldn’t everyone be wielding wooden swords while fighting their enemies during battle?

Outside the mansion, the street was crowded with people who were spectating the parade of the best imperial scholar who was riding a horse. However, Little Stone did not even dart a glance at him.

People laughed at him for his obsession with swords whereas he laughed at them for wasting their energy and effort in pursuing fame and reputation which were as transient as clouds and being childish but acting arrogantly on account of their seniority.

“So what if one becomes the best imperial scholar? Neither imperial examinations nor merit is more exhilarating than settling vengeance and debt of gratitude with a single slash of a sword!”

In Gusu City, Philanthropist Zhao whose age was over eighty years old, had married a beautiful concubine who was only thirteen years old. Many villagers had gone to spectate the groom’s procession to the bride’s house, but Little Stone did not even pay the slightest attention to it.

People teased him for being obsessed with swords while he laughed at them for being addicted to wine and women.

“Wine, women, wealth and pride are deceptive. Only the sword in one’s hand is true!”

Little Stone was still a mortal, but under Ning Fan’s influence, his heart had almost been filled with swords.

As long as he gains enough experience in the future, he could become a peerless swordsman in the mortal world. When he wields a sword, he will be undefeatable.

In the world of immortals, he would be capable of breaking through the Void Realm and stir up a storm!

He had this latent potential!

Gradually, Ning Fan no longer stayed still while holding the wooden sword in his hand. Now, even if he was wielding a sword made of wood, he could cause smoke and ashes to fly.

That was a realm where being formless wins against any forms. However, it was still not enough…

In the fifth month, Ning Fan held nothing in his hand. A sword would be formed with just a snap of his fingers.

An intangible aura condensed on him. He would only need to complete the final step and he could then wield it at will.

Seeing Ning Fan release sword qi which pulverized a massive rock weighing approximately fifteen thousand kilograms with just a snap of his fingers, Little Stone’s eyes burned with excitement. At that very moment, a burning passion rose within his heart…

He wanted to be a swordsman!

“Uncle Zhou, I want to be a swordsman. Can you be my master?!”

*Thud*

Little Stone fell to his knees on the ground in front of Ning Fan, but the latter just shook his head with a kind smile.

“Your potential in the Dao of Sword may not necessarily be weaker than mine. It will only limit you if you acknowledge me as your master. You just need to remember the process that I went through for the past five months in comprehending swords. Carry this insight with you and go challenge all swordsmen beneath the heavens along your path in seeking the art of sword. One day, you will find your own Dao of Sword.”

“You’re too young right now and your eyes only see the sword but not life. This isn’t enough... Gusu is a good place. Get along well with your mother and be a filial son. There are two pills here, one is for you and the other one is for your mother. Consume it and your lifespan will extend for one hundred years. As for this book, it has a set of cultivation methods regarding the Dao of Sword which can lead you to the path of cultivation. However, do not open this book before you become a peerless and unrivalled swordsman in the mortal world!”

“When you become so strong that you wish to be defeated but no one can do it in this world, only then can you open this book and step into the world of cultivation. It will be a brand new world with even more challenges to satisfy you!”

Ning Fan’s gaze swept across Gusu City. He had stayed here for five months and it was about time to leave. Both his silver and mansion were all given to Little Stone including the sharp sword, the soft sword, the heavy broadsword and the wooden sword which he randomly chose to comprehend his sword intent.

Pulling Xu Qiuling into his arms, Ning Fan made a step forward and vanished completely into a ray of sword light.

Little Stone was stunned by the scene before his eyes while Bai Su felt an inexplicable feeling of sadness.

“Young Master Zhou has disappeared… So it turns out that he is not a mortal. Immortals really exist in this world…”

A tremendous sense of loss flooded her heart. It was hard to explain and it was even more difficult for others to understand.

Bai Su was unclear of the feeling she had and she just let out a gentle sigh.

“It’s good for it to end like this…”
