Chapter 151: Innate Sword Cultivator!

  "Cough, cough." Xia Lin coughed and said, "How could this be? I'm a young master who has always been pure and self-loving, respectful of the elderly and loving to the young..."

  Huo Jian: "......"

  Does he need a fake master to instill in him such virtues as purity, self-love, respect for the elderly and care for the young?

  "Alright, I was indeed heading for Jianchi."

  "Jian Chi?" Huo Jian's expression suddenly turned horrified. As a member of the Jian family, he naturally knew how terrifying Jian Chi was.

  "What about that Sixth-Rank Mystic Treasure?"

  "Have you gone mad?"

  Following a few urgent voices, Huo Jian was afraid that his voice was too loud, and he quickly lowered it to continue: "That thing, absolutely can't be touched."

  "Have you seen it?" Xia Lin's eyes lit up in front of him.

  "No." Huo Jian said seriously, "But I know that the Sword Pool is a sacred place of the Jian family, and it's always guarded by countless people. It's impossible to quietly take it away! Moreover, once the precious sword is pulled out of the Sword Pool, it will inevitably trigger a sword energy explosion, directly alarming the Jian family's ancestor, that powerful being who can change the clouds in an instant! Not even worth thinking about."

  "It's just drawing a sword, why such a big reaction?" Xia Lin exclaimed in surprise.

  "The Jian Ben Tong Ling, let alone the six-product Xuan Bao, has been coordinating with the sword pool for hundreds of years. Once it moves, there must be a reaction. Moreover, do you think Jian Jia Lao Zu would not have made any moves on that treasured sword? I'm afraid ordinary people will be known to him as soon as they touch it." Huo Jian said seriously.

  Xia nodded, he himself didn't have any wild ideas about snatching it away, but... how would he know if he didn't try? The Chuan Xiang Hall was stirring. Maybe it would be directly absorbed, and he wouldn't need to carry it around and run away everywhere.

  "Don't worry, I'll just take a look first." Xia Lin said with a smile, "I'm only going to Jianchi to take a look, isn't it said that the top three have a chance to enter and cultivate? Such a fair and square opportunity, why would I sneak in?"

  "Well, that's good." Huo Jian let out a sigh of relief and then asked: "The Famous Sword Conference only allows the use of sword techniques and martial skills. Your Flame Tiger Fist and Thunderbolt Rush are completely unusable there. How did you make it to the top three?"

  Obviously, based on previous years, those who can enter the top ten are generally sword cultivators in the Return to Origin realm, at least in the Qingyun First Change! Xia Lin's strength is beyond doubt, but once his martial skills are restricted, how can he fight?

  Xia Lin smiled brightly and said, "I didn't come looking for you?"

  “……！”

  Huo Jian suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. "You wouldn't be... planning to make an appearance now, would you?"

  Xia nodded, "I was thinking the same thing."

  Huo Jian's face was incredulous, and he hastily waved his hand: "You're kidding, which swordsman isn't from elementary school onwards, decades of bitter practice, to understand the sword path. Ordinary warriors may be able to exert 80% of their power when learning sword techniques. But in the hands of a swordsman, they can exert 160% or even higher power! If you only learn some sword techniques, it's completely useless. Besides, there's only half a month left, how could you possibly learn?"

  Xia Lin smiled slightly. "Do you think Jianzhong Jiangshan has weakened in my hands?"

  Huo Jian furrowed his brow, recalling the scene where the crimson sword shot out in all directions. Occasionally, electric sparks flashed by, seeming... even stronger, and he shook his head: "No."

  "So you still remember how long it took me to learn Jianzhong Jiangshan?" Xia Lin smiled.

  Huo Jian's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he understood! Xia Lin said that he had completely remembered it. When he first learned that move, he had only seen his opponent use it once. This martial arts talent was truly terrifying! If so, half a month's time would be more than enough.

  Thinking of this, Huo Jian could only leave a bitter smile: "Really... forgot about that."

  It's indeed forgotten, and no one will always remember this. At the beginning, a glimpse of surprise, Huo Jian almost collapsed in confidence in his own swordsmanship. Jokingly, he had to spend several months or even years practicing martial arts to exert the greatest power, while Xia Lin came up with it easily and directly used it, and still managed to exert the greatest power. What a huge blow it was to him.

  If nothing happens, he will remember this and probably won't even think about learning martial arts in the future.

  Xia Lin smiled and said: "The Famous Sword Conference, are you going to participate?"

  "Participate." Huo Jian nodded, a hint of unknown spark in his eyes, "This time, I will prove it to them."

  What to prove, Huo Jian didn't say, Xia Lin didn't ask, but he knew the grudges between Huo Jian and the Jian family, and also knew that they would have a conclusion sooner or later.

  "By the way, that kid at the entrance, the one named Ye Jian, what's his story? With such talent, he's definitely going to be a top-notch swordsman in the future." Xia Lin asked curiously.

  "Yè Jiàn..." Huò Jiàn smiled wryly, "This kid is here to repay a debt."

  "Return kindness?"

  "Yes, ten years ago, I happened to pass by a village when bandits attacked and saved the lives of a mother and son. Now that ten years have passed, I had long forgotten about it, but this young man actually found out about my past and came to pay his respects." Huo Jian sighed, "A decade of innocence, an unparalleled talent, I don't want him to be ruined by me."

  "Is there such a past event?" Xia Lin also exclaimed, "Ten years, and yet still remember such great kindness, the heart of a child is indeed admirable."

  "He knew about my past and hoped to become my apprentice, then help me in the future." Huo Jian sighed, "So, this disciple, I really can't accept. With his talent, he can easily learn on his own. Although he's only at the Condensing Sea initial stage, that's because he's intentionally holding back. His swordsmanship and cultivation are already comparable to many Return to Origin realm cultivators. I'm afraid it won't be long before he surpasses me."

  "Wipe, so strong?" Xia Lin exclaimed in surprise. He knew that Ye Jian's swordsmanship was very formidable, but he had never thought it would be this high, second only to Huo Jian? Wouldn't that mean that even a casual move of his sword would unleash terrifying power?

  Huo Jian slightly shook his head, "Everyone saw him kneeling at the door, but his fingers were constantly drawing on the ground. Who would have known that he was actually practicing swordsmanship?"

  Xia Lin's pupils constricted, "Even kneeling there, they are all practicing swordsmanship, this young man..."

  "Are you really not going to accept it?" Xia Lin asked.

  "I won't accept it." Huo Jian said firmly.

  "Really won't take it?"

  "It can't be accepted!" Huo Jian said, "This child is repaying kindness, I'm grateful, but no matter how you look at it, I just can't accept it."

  "In that case." Xia Lin suddenly smiled, "Then I'll take it."

  "What?!"

  Huo Jian was taken aback, "You accept?"

  "That's right." Xia Lin laughed happily.

  "What are you going to take?" Huo Jian asked in a low voice, obviously, Xia Lin's swordsmanship also needs to be learned from him, how can he go teach Ye Jian.

  "Take this." Xia Lin pointed to himself, "Since your swordsmanship is not low, you don't need to learn these basics, and even less so from me. If you want to go further, if you want to become stronger, what you should learn is combat methods and usage methods, as well as how to stay alive."

  At this point, Xia Lin smiled and said: "These, I can teach him. Of course, more importantly, for a genius like him, there are only two ways to suppress him. First, extremely high strength! Second, a talent that surpasses his!"

  Huo Jian was silent, for the sake of Jing Hai's realm, Ye Jian was confident that he could quickly enter the Gui Yuan realm and become even stronger. So he couldn't hold back Ye Jian, and he also understood this. This was also why he had always said that Ye Jian should be grateful, if ten years ago he discovered Ye Jian's talent and introduced him to martial arts, it would have been one thing, but now it was another matter.

  As Xia Lin said, it's hard to hold back, and this teacher-student relationship is even more bewildering.

  Obviously, Xia Lin has a second day with even stronger talent! He won't forget that Xia Lin's current strength is far above Ye Jian, and even more so in the future, while Xia Lin is only about to turn seventeen.

  "What's more important is that if you give up, you should know that Ye Jian can only devote himself to building a family, perhaps you thought so before?" Xia Lin asked.

  Huo Jian smiled wryly: "Jianjia has better resources, so I think it's better for him to develop in Jianjia."

  Xia Lin shrugged: "Knowing your relationship with Ye Jian, do you think Jianjia will still treat Ye Jian wholeheartedly? More likely, they will brainwash Ye Jian and turn him into a loyal servant of the Jian family, which would be even more useless."

  Huo Jian was silent for a long time, finally let out a sigh of relief, and laughed: "I was being stubborn. If it were Bai Fa Mo Tian that guy, he definitely wouldn't be so entangled, haha. Since I couldn't teach him, I'll leave it to you, only you can suppress him."

  Xia Lin smiled brightly.

  The two of them chatted for a long time. For a homebody like Huo Jian, it was rare to have someone to talk to, and they were chatting so smoothly.

  Later, Huo Jiangan simply took out a most basic foundational sword technique and began to explain it to Xia Lin. It was also at this time that Xia Lin came to know about the various sword techniques, their various characteristics, understood the legendary Sword Intent, understood what Sword Dao cultivation was, and also understood what a Sword Formation was.

  And undoubtedly, Xia Lin's talent was also astonishing.

  At this time, it was just learning, not using, and as long as he remembered, Xia Lin would quickly commit these to memory, even able to induce and answer some questions, making Huo Jian, this temporary teacher, feel very satisfied. Xia Lin even suspected that the reason why Ye Jian didn't take Ye Jian as a disciple was because Ye Jian already knew everything, so he couldn't find satisfaction.

  The basic teaching has been going on for a long time, and Xia Lin has just come for the first day. He has completely grasped these basic concepts.

  However, what has been troubling Hao Jian is that every time he comes up with a sword technique or formation, Xia Lin's first thought is not how to use it, but... how to destroy it.

  Having exceptional martial arts talent, but unlike Ye Jian, Xia Lin seems to be born not suited for sword cultivation, and is not too enthusiastic about these things. Although he has learned so many sword techniques or concepts, for Xia Lin, perhaps in the future when facing sword cultivators, it will be even more relaxing.

  At this time, outside the door, the onlookers had already dispersed, and some of the kneeling disciples had also gone to eat.

  The one who stayed at the door was Ye Jian.

  Still kneeling at the door, neither thirsty nor hungry, with a firm gaze.
