1449 Who’s Courting Death? 2
But Teacher was different.
Xiao Kongtong understood how profound a terror his teacher was. From the first day he picked up a sword, he had become proficient in all eight major sword arts in addition to the Hidden Sword Technique in just three years.
The ‘proficient’ here referred to the first realm.
But even so, with the combination of various major realms, it could be said to be easy to challenge an ordinary Sword Deity.
Bazhun’an was of course the exception during that period. Not only had he mastered the first realm, but he had also mastered the second realm of some sword techniques. It could be said that his combat strength was several times stronger than that of an ordinary Sword Deity!
“It’s a pity that it’s too rigid and easily broken.”
Mei Siren’s thoughts also drifted away.
When he was young, Bazhun’an temperament was very similar to an Ancient Swordsman. He was unbridled, arrogant, and unruly.
However, it was also because of this that it was difficult to continue to be free after he displayed such talent.
He was like a sharp sword that wouldn’t turn back until it hit the south wall. In the end, under the influence of external forces, this sword was almost broken like the Qingju Sword. Fortunately, he didn’t die in the end, but was forced to return to his sheath.
This return took decades.
However, the 3000 Way of the Sword encompassed everything. Misfortunes and blessings were intertwined.
“The Hidden Sword Technique was cultivated after your teacher restrained his ‘cutting edge’, right?” Mei Siren gave Xiao Kongtong a meaningful look.
“I’m not too sure…”
Xiao Kongtong didn’t dare to reveal anything because he didn’t dare to talk about his Teacher behind his back.
However, he was very clear in his heart that his Teacher’s current realm could be said to have surpassed the final-stage of the absolute final-stage.
The unsheathed sword was ferocious, and the sheathed sword was courteous.
The noble sword was a weapon that first exuded courtesy before it exerted force!
His Teacher had been unruly when he was young, but now he was introverted. It could be said that he had cultivated both the ‘ferocious’ and ‘courteous’ sides to the extreme.
In this state where Yin and Yang were in perfect harmony, how amazing would it be when he used the sword? Xiao Kongtong didn’t dare to imagine.
“Sometimes, I really envy these true geniuses. They have the courage to challenge themselves, even when they encounter a setback. In their eyes, as long as they don’t die, they can use this as a springboard to rise to another realm and quickly find a breakthrough.” Mei Siren sighed and flapped his fan.
Xiao Kongtong could only nod in acknowledgment and didn’t dare to talk too much about this topic. He was afraid that if he spoke too much, Master Siren would be able to find out more about his Teacher.
“Was this not the same for Xu Xiaoshou?”
He turned to look at the young man sitting cross-legged in meditation and smiled.
“I always thought that Teacher put too much pressure on him. What Xu Xiaoshou is currently facing at his level is something he should not be going through.”
“But sometimes, I think that even under so much pressure, Xu Xiaoshou has the capability to resolve all the problems perfectly.”
“Perhaps, his potential hasn’t been tested to the limit.”
Xiao Kongtong paused for a moment, then he suddenly trembled and gritted his teeth.
“But on second thought, I feel that was too cruel. After all, Xu Xiashou is only a young man, and he shouldn’t be involved in the war of the older generation.”
“He has faced some situations that even I can’t get involved in.”
When he heard this, Mei Siren laughed, but he understood what the Eighth Sword Deity’s thoughts were. He said, “It’s true he should not be under so much pressure, but I think your Teacher saw a shadow of himself during his younger days in Xu Xiaoshou.”
Xiao Kongtong was slightly startled and then seemed to have understood something.
Indeed, Xu Xiaoshou’s talent was very strong and perhaps he could not even keep up with it.
His Teacher’s plan for him was completely in line with the path he took when he was young. He used the greatest pressure to force a person to grow at the fastest speed.
This was because Xu Xiaoshou had entered the game too early. If he did not grow quickly, he would soon become an abandoned pawn in the hands of the big shots.
Death was the only thing that awaited an abandoned pawn.
“Swish!”
While they were chatting, Xu Xiaoshou, who had been meditating beside him, suddenly trembled. His aura gushed forth like waves.
The surging Sword Will began to wreak havoc on the ancient long street. Xu Xiaoshou suddenly floated into the air like an ancient sleeping lion that had been awakened. His eyes were closed, but one could sense these ‘awakened’, ‘returned’ and ‘crazed’ vibes from his being.
“The poor and lonely are nurtured in the heart, while the body is as dispirited as an old tree.”
Xiao Kongtong retreated a little and felt as if his spiritual world had been slightly affected.
He actually saw a trace of the Heart Sword Technique in Xu Xiaoshou’s body. When he saw the Teacher’s description of the Heart Sword Technique in this beginner, he found it unbelievable.
“This kid is under a lot of pressure. His ‘self’ is a little fierce and scary.”
Xiao Kongtong glanced discreetly at the Sword Image that appeared behind Master Siren.
Perhaps the old Sword Deity had seen that Xu Xiaoshou’s ‘self” was not any weaker than him, so he was tempted to teach him how to use the sword?
“Indeed he is very fierce. I just don’t know how long he can maintain this state and whether he can find his true self.” Master Siren nodded slightly as the satisfaction grew in his eyes.
The Sword Image was behind him, but he did not move an inch and was not in the least affected by Xu Xiaoshou’s will.
“I can grasp it now…”
Xiao Kongtong said hesitantly, as he did a comparison in his heart.
Since they were of the same school, he could only use Master Siren as a comparison gauge.
This old Sword Deity held the sword for three days, and then took seven days to comprehend the chaotic form of the Present Gods and Buddhas in front of him. He had spent a total of ten days!
How long did Xu Xiaoshou take since his inception?
Half a year?
Let’s just say he held the sword for half a year!
