James shrugged and said, “How would I know? That man may be young but, he is relatively strong. There must be a lot of strong people among the Seafolk. I don’t think we should take forceful action here. We should return to the city and devise a better plan.”“There’s nothing else we can do for now it seems.” Walganus could not come up with a different plan.Therefore, three returned to the city. After they entered the city, they noticed the man in the golden robe had been tailing them.The three kept up with their act and bought healing elixirs as well as other supplies in the city.Afterward, they headed to a bar, sat at a corner table, and ordered some wine. They slowly drank their wine as they began to formulate a new plan.Walganus looked at their stalkyer nearby with a look of annoyance on his face. He said, “That guy has been following us nonstop. I really want to just kill him.”James chuckled and asked, “Can you really though?”Walganus replied embarrassedly, “I don’
James whispered a few words to Walganus and Yanina.Their faces immediately lit up with joy.Walganus nodded and said, “Yeah! That’ll definitely work!”James stood up and walked toward the man in the golden robe nearby. He clasped his hands and said, “My name is James Caden. Many years ago, a cultivator entered the Seafolk’s territory and learned unrivaled swordsmanship from the Seafolk. Since I’m also a swordsman, I came to challenge the Seafolk after learning about the spectacular swordsmanship the Sealfolk possess.”Hearing this, the man in the golden robe stood up and sneered. “You want to challenge the Seafolk?”James answered him seriously, “Yes.”“... And you’re planning on doing so with your current strength?”The man in the golden robes analyzed James’ strength. James did not conceal his energy, allowing the man to discern his cultivation rank. The man deduced that James was only at the Tribulation Rank’s Third Stage and found out he had not even reached the Sage Rank y
Sheldon gripped his sword’s sheath and slowly drew his sword which released powerful Sword Energy. His weapon was not an ordinary sword. As the sharp blade slid out of the sheath, its blade glimmered with bright and potent energy.He pointed his sword at James and said with a mocking smile, “Your name is James Caden, right? Remember my name. I’m Sheldon Hughes and I’m a disciple of the Seafolk’s Blade Sect.”James did not know much about the Seafolk nor what kind of existence was the Blade Sect.However, he could tell Sheldon was very skilled in swordsmanship.As soon as Sheldon unsheathed his long sword, his aura instantly changed.The energy emanating from his body flared aggressively like a barely contained beast.“The swordsmanship you practice is very dangerous, Sheldon.”After sensing his opponent’s aura, James could not help but remind him, “I suggest you stop practicing it, or you might lose control.”“Haha!” Sheldon laughed.“Who do you think you are? You aren’t eve
James looked at him disappointedly and turned to leave the arena. He walked over to Walganus and Yanina, saying, “Let’s go. The Seafolk’s swordsmanship is nothing but trash. It wasn’t worth traveling all the way here to challenge them.”Although James did not exclaim loudly, it was just loud enough for everyone present to hear him.Sheldon stood speechless in the arena, insulted by his overwhelming defeat.He was a prodigy of the Seafolk’s Blade Sect.Not only was he talented in swordsmanship, but he even mastered the Blade Sect’s most difficult technique. However, he made a mistake because of his bad temper and was punished to preserve the order in a suburban city.James’ words were like a sharp knife cutting through his heart.He was willing to take the insult if it was only directed at him, but could not allow just anyone to insult his sect.Sheldon appeared before James in a flash and blocked James’ path with his sword.“What’s wrong? Can’t accept your defeat?”James looke
At that moment, Sheldon was struck speechless.He could not believe he would lose in a battle of swordsmanship against James. Moreover, he was utterly defeated and barely had a chance to retaliate.“I-I lost.”“So does that mean your sect’s swordmanship can’t live up to its renown?” James smiled faintly.Sheldon roared, “No! I lost because I haven’t completely mastered the sword techniques. It has nothing to do with my sect’s teachings. The Blade Sect’s swordsmanship is unparalleled and is the best in this world!”“Is that so?” James looked at him doubtfully.“I heard you’re the Blade Sect’s prodigy. If someone like you is so lousy, how strong can the Blade Sect’s swordsmanship actually be?”James looked at him contemptuously.Then, he turned around and walked away from the arena.At that moment, the Blade Sect’s Leader, the City Lord, and some of the city’s powerhouses stood outside the arena.The City Lord’s face darkened, and he said, “This brat sure is arrogant. I’ll beat
“What’s so funny?”The Blade Sect’s Elder was baffled by James’ sudden laughter.“Nothing.”James calmed down and said earnestly, “I just think it’s a great honor to compete with a great swordsman like you. After you, Sir.”James made a gesture toward the arena.The elder headed to the arena’s center.James followed behind him.The two stood inside the arena and stared at each other.A golden light flashed in the hand of the Blade Sect’s Elder and materialized into a long, golden sword. The sword’s blade was a bright gold and glowed with a golden light.At the same time, there were mysterious scripts engraved on the blade, giving awaythe sword’s origin with a single glance.James immediately had a theory about where the sworc came from.He said, “That’s a very nice sword, Sir. I’ve seen countless weapons in the past. Yours is one of the best I’ve seen.”James began to praise the sword.The elder replied humbly, “You’re flattering me. It’s just an ordinary sword.”James gr
The Blade Sect’s Elder seemed to have read through James’ thoughts. He smiled and said, “Although we have divine objects on this island, they’re very rare, and not all living beings can consume them.“Only great prodigies and powerhouses are qualified to consume them.”“Huff.” James took a deep breath.He put away his thoughts for the time being and changed the topic, asking, “What kind of sword does the Blade Sect’s Grand Patriarch wield? I’m very interested in swords and love seeing different kinds of potent weapons.”The Blade Sect’s Elder thought awhile and said, “Our Grand Patriarch has been in seclusion for many years. I’ve only seen him once but never had the chance to see his sword. However, I read about it in some ancient books. It’s a purple Divine Sword, and I think it’s called Crepe Myrtle.”Hearing this, James heaved a sigh of relief.The Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword was indeed with the Seafolk’s Grand Patriarch.However, he had more to worry about.The Crepe Myrtle D
The Blade Sect’s Elder was shocked.James’ swordsmanship was unbelievable.Meanwhile, James smiled faintly at him.James put away the Primordial Dragon Blade and looked at the Blade Sect’s Elder, asking with a smile, “So, can I come to the Blade Sect to check out the unique swordsmanships you guys have?” The Blade Sect’s Elder snapped back to reality. He took a deep breath, looked at James, and said, “I wasn’t expecting a youngster like you to be so highly talented in swordsmanship. The only two that can measure up to your skills are our current Sect Leader and our Grand Patriarch.”The Blade Sect’s Elder had very high praises for James.He had never seen James’ sword techniques before. However, the Blade Sect’s Elder knew he did not have invincible swordsmanship.The Blade Sect’s Elder felt the only people on par with James in swordsmanship were their current Sect Leader and Grand Patriarch.“I promised to take you to the Blade Sect if I lost. You can go through the sword t
