783 Responsible Hero’s Rules (1/2)
The outbreak of quests[1] at the borders and the appearance of the military title system attracted every player's attention. Regardless of whether it was sects of solo players, everyone cast their attention into understanding the system behind the Emperor's Announcement event. The shock brought by Ximen Chuixue's disciple, who had appeared out of nowhere, finally died down a little.
However, Class One Hall never eased down on trying to recruit Ximen Chuixue's disciple!
Right now, they finally had a third player who could be at the same rank as One Emperor and Happy, and there was no way Dream Clouds will be willing to miss trying to recruit him. Barren Murderer and Drifting Sword were still, after all, only at the level of Silver Wolf.
On this day, a few people appeared outside Ximen Chuixue's abode in that alley.
A man in white robes and held a Clear Edge, which was a three-foot long sword, stood at the entrance arrogantly and aloofly while he shouted at the door.
”I am Drifting Sword, sect master of White Robe Sect, and I have specifically come to seek guidance from the Senior Ximen's successor.”
The rhythmic sound of the sword draw in the courtyard came to a swift halt. Then, a teenager's indifferent voice came from behind the door. ”Do you know the rules?”
The people outside the street felt their hearts freeze.
Over the past few days, the people who came to the door and asked for Ximen Chuixue's disciple to come out came in endless waves, but since Responsible Hero was an arrogant person, he always ignored them. There were even many people who forced him to come out in the name of seeking guidance from him so that they could force Responsible Hero into coming out, but these people all died.
Up until now, there was no longer a lot of people who dared stay outside the door!
Drifting Sword's expression did not change. He calmly said a few words, ”I challenge you to a duel.”
Only the duels approved by the system will allow Responsible Hero to avoid the punishment for killing people in the city. Hence, those who did not extend an invitation for a duel will not be able to see Responsible Hero.
Drifting Sword was a true martial artist, and he understood this. He had also came with the intention of trying to gain an understanding of the fastest sword in the world and see the legendary Ximen Chuixue's sword technique, which was said to have reached a transcendent level, and see just how great it was. He also wanted to access from this and see just how great was One Emperor's sword technique as well as what level it had reached so that he would know whether he had the chance of surpassing One Emperor.
Creeeaaaakk!
The door opened.
When his gaze landed on Drifting Sword, he looked as if he was looking at a dead person.
Drifting Sword said nothing. When he sensed Responsible Hero's slightly preposterous gaze, Drifting Sword frowned slightly, and he was slightly displeased.
No matter what, he had already practiced martial arts for many years, and even though he was very astonishing by this youngster who had refused to come out of this house and just diligently as well as conscientiously practiced his sword in the game since he was sixteen, that astonishment had not reached the degree where Drifting Sword looked up to him.
He had seen Responsible Hero draw his sword before. Even though it was very fast and he knew from first person experience that it was so fast that he could not react to it, it did not mean that he could not fend against it.
Even though the famous Night Rain Asura lost his life in the duel, Drifting Sword was still confident in himself.
There were certain moves and details that will allow him to make his judgment before his enemy attacked, and he could parry in time!
This was a certain type of pride.
Normale people will not be able to understand or possess the mindset of the strong, but to Responsible Hero, this martial artist with the extraordinary presence in front of him was the same as other people.
He drew his sword and attacked every single day, and during the time he repeated this action day after day for a year, he had already reached the state where his heart was as calm as still water. At the same time, he also gained a deep and profound understanding toward this sword draw.
But since yesterday, he had improved a little again!
He noticed that his master had asked him to come out and fight in the duels because he wanted to train Responsible Hero's sword technique and have it increase to a higher level. Last time, his sword draw carried with it a great intent for revenge. It had sufficient murderous intentions, but not enough murderous will! His will and sword will could not fuse together at all.
After all, his practice target all along had been bronze targets, not real people.
Yesterday, once he killed more than ten elites, Responsible Hero gained an even greater epiphany, and he gained an even deeper understanding and trust to his own sword. He could use it at ease, and when he struck, he defeated his opponents in one strike.
