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
One could only go further on the road of cultivation with a stable Cultivation Heart.Meanwhile, the Sword Intent was one of the most crucial aspects of Swordsmanship.The Sword Intent and Sword Heart were linked together. The swordsman’s heart would highly affect the Sword Intent displayed.If one’s heart were full of murderous intent, then his swordsmanship would also be full of murderous intent.Meanwhile, one would display very calm Sword Intent if one’s heart was peaceful.These were the fundamentals of swordsmanship. James could only understand the most basic things in his current state.The way of swordsmanship was broad and profound. Many powerhouses spent their entire lives trying to understand the essence of it but failed to do so.James acted as if he was a master and gave Sheldon some pointers.“I’m not familiar with the swordsmanship you practice, but I’m guessing the person that created this swordsmanship is one with a nasty temper. Perhaps he might not even be hu
Half a year was neither long nor short.James patiently waited for the Blade Sect’s Elder to finish recruiting disciples from the city.During this period, he provided Sheldon with occasional guidance.After Sheldon learned James’ way of swordsmanship, he began trying to comprehend it.After James left, Sheldon contemplated for a long time before finally making up his mind to give up his current way of swordsmanship.Sheldon sat in a lotus position in a courtyard within the city. Terrifying energy rose from him, and he mobilized his Sage Energy to severe off his previous swordsmanship.He dissolved his entire swordsmanship and wanted to pick up a new one.Since he had practiced it for such a long time, it took a lot of courage for him to give it all up. Ordinary cultivators would never have such great courage to forfeit the swordsmanship they had painstakingly learned for so long.Meanwhile, James had already left the city and was sitting on a beach outside the city, looking at
The two chatted about James while he practiced and tried to comprehend the way of swordsmanship.He was unsure whether his understanding was correct, but he decided to try it anyway.From his understanding, any set of swordsmanship could be divided into the Five Great Sword Realms.As of now, he had only comprehended the Five Great Sword Realms’ First and Second Stages. However, he had not yet understood the Five Great Sword Realms’ Third, Fourth, and Fifth Stages.James closed his eyes.Basic sword techniques emerged in his mind.He thought about the sword technique he learned a long time ago on an island on Earth, the First Lunar and Terra Sword Art.In the past, he simply copied the sword moves.Now, he began refining the sword techniques.The First Lunar and Terra Sword Art utilized True Lunar and Terra Energy. It was a fierce, domineering, and unpredictable sword technique that used the power of Lunar and Terra.However, James had already stopped using True Lunar and Ter
Sophie watched James practice from the Celestial Abode.To Sophie and Nova, who had reached a high cultivation rank, what James had learned recently were the very basics.However, it was not easy for someone at his cultivation rank to have such attainments.Sophie praised, “He has a basic understanding of Sword Heart and Sword Intent. Although it’s only the basics, it’s quite commendable that he’s come to this point by himself. However, it’s going to be hard to understand Singularity.”Nova sighed. “Yeah. He’ll need to reach the Divine Rank before he can really understand Singularity.”The two commented on James’ achievements.However, James was completely unaware.He practiced the swordsmanship he had just comprehended as well as the Four Stages of the Five Great Sword Realms, displaying the thoughts in his heart.Every move he displayed showcased top-tier swordsmanship, which was every sword cultivator’s lifelong pursuit.Sheldon was completely dumbfounded by James' display
