BXBX NOVEL Chapter 15: Thirteen Sword Slash
Although many disciples were left in a sour expression, Yang Wei didn’t care much asides from the sword technique he got from Elder Jing.
Yang Wei was still a bit disappointed to still not be able to understand the concept of condensing his true qi into his finger to create a sword.
‘Sigh, I guess I should take this opportunity to ask for guidance from Elder Jing.’
Without any clues of where to go, Yang Wei decided to just ask Elder Jing except things didn’t go as planned.
“Yang Wei, you’re finally here. I just want to let you know something. About the technique I gave you… it was the wrong one.” Elder Jing said to Yang Wei while laughing awkwardly.
“….”
Yang Wei was rendered speechless and his eyebrow twitched a bit from the carelessness of Elder Jing.
He couldn’t believe that she could make a blunder like giving out the wrong technique.
“No wonder why I can only condense a tiny dagger form and not a full-fledged sword.” Yang Wei said slowly since he couldn’t do much even if he rants.
It would simply be a waste of time and effort to get Elder Jing to pay attention next time.
Elder Jing only cares about her alchemy and the other stuff, most likely not.
“Wait a minute, Yang Wei. You said you managed to condense a tiny dagger?” Elder Jing asked in disbelief.
“Yes, it was pretty hard to even do that. I’m not talented so no need to rub salt in my wounds.” Yang Wei replied, thinking that Elder Jing is trying to laugh at him.
However, Elder Jing was not laughing but was in complete shock.
‘He actually manages to comprehend a High-Sky martial technique.’
“Haha, my mistake Yang Wei, here’s the correct one and it may be a low Earth martial technique, if mastered completely, it can even rival those in the heaven grade.”
Elder Jing said slowly while giving Yang Wei the new martial technique.
‘It’s better to not tell Yang Wei about his achievement or it might make him arrogant.’
Yang Wei didn’t know about his amazing feat so he gladly took this new technique which has 13 sword slash as the title.
“13 sword slash, basically as the name implies, the more sword slashes you can do, the more density and the power it produces.” Elder Jing explains Yang Wei the technique and its profound meaning.
Yang Wei listened carefully before realizing that he doesn’t even have a sword to use for practice.
The first sword technique that Elder Jing gave to Yang Wei did not require a sword but this 13 sword slash requires one.
“Elder Jing, I do not have a sword to practice this.” Yang Wei said to Elder Jing since he was too poor to afford a good sword.
*Swoosh*
Right after Yang Wei finished his word, a sword appeared out of nowhere and dropped to the ground.
“Don’t say this Elder Jing is stingy. This sword is a middle Earth spiritual treasure and it’s extremely expensive. Of course, I got it for free since they begged me to concoct a pill for them.” Elder Jing said pridefully.
Picking up the sword, Yang Wei can feel a profound aura in it and did some slashing moves.
‘Spiritual treasure, a weapon that is embedded with inscription and true qi.’ Yang Wei gave a smile on holding such a treasure in his hand.
“Thank you Elder Jing for this sword technique and gift.” Yang Wei said shamelessly before putting the sword in his waist.
“Don’t feel so happy yet since you’ll have to work hard when we enter the mystery realm tomorrow.” Elder Jing said while turning her head around.
Nodding slightly, Yang Wei followed Elder Jing behind while enquiring for more information regarding the mystery realm.
Each sect can send several people inside where the top sect could send out 30 people at once.
The middle sect could only send out 15 people while the third-rate sect could send out 5 people.
However, they were able to send out 10 people which is surprising and suspicious at the same time.
Yang Wei didn’t bother with all those complicating things before being lectured by Elder Jing for alchemy.
This time, Yang Wei was not asked to leave the courtyard, rather he was to use the remaining time to try and learn the 13 sword slash.
Elder Jing told him that if he is still a weakling then the chance of death is high and she doesn’t want to see unnecessary death.
Yang Wei gladly complied with her request and decided to practice.
’13 sword slash, shouldn’t be that hard since it’s just slice and dice.’
Yang Wei thought inwardly before unleashing his sword which makes a shing sound.
“Such a sharp sword is indeed the best partner for a cultivator.” Yang Wei can’t help himself but compliment his first weapon ever.
“Enough with the admiration of the sword and start practicing. If you think this 13 sword slash is easy, then you’re on a real joyride, Yang Wei.”
Elder Jing said teasingly when she saw Yang Wei acting like a kid with a new toy in hand.
A slight blush appeared on Yang Wei’s face since he was a bit embarrassed to lose himself.
Scratching his head lightly, Yang Wei started to practice the first sword slash from the martial technique.
*Slash*
“It’s pretty easy to do the first slash.”
Yang Wei said slowly when he completed the first step in ease.
Turning his head around to see Elder Jing, Yang Wei was confused because Elder Jing was shaking her head in disappointment.
‘I followed the steps though. The slash even made a perfect sound so there should be no mistakes.’
Yang Wei thought inwardly and tried to see the mistake he made but found nothing in the end.
Elder Jing was staring at Yang Wei before giving out a light sighing sound.
“The first sword slash should have some profound qi in it when you swing your sword. Afterward, it should leave a wave of true qi forward to continue its strikes onto the enemies.”
Elder Jing said in a pitying tone on how Yang Wei couldn’t find his mistakes on the sword slash he did.
‘Was I mistaken about him?’
Elder Jing wondered if she was incorrect in her decision just like in the past.
Yang Wei heard Elder Jing’s word before putting his head lower in shame.
Everything has been smooth sailing so far in the time he entered the sect which made his ego grow bigger.
*Smack*
Yang Wei suddenly slapped his face, which shocked Elder Jing for his actions.
“I’m sorry Elder Jing, I will do my best to fix my mistake.” Yang Wei said slowly before trying out the first slash again.
This time, Yang Wei didn’t just unleash his sword and do the slashing, he was closing his eyes to concentrate on the word Elder Jing said to him.
A few minutes went by before Yang Wei opened his eyes in a solemn expression.
Holding the hilt of the sword, Yang Wei’s aura starts to rise up and with a roar.
Yang Wei grabs the hilt and unleashes the sword to slice the tree in front of him.
*Whooosh*
The sword strike was extremely fast and had a profound qi in the slash, almost as if the air was being cut in halves.
Elder Jing watched the sword strike from Yang Wei while her body trembled in fear.
“That sword strike could possibly kill me if I let my guard down.” Mumbling softly, Elder Jing tilted her head a bit to look at Yang Wei who fainted on the ground due to exhaustion.
*Booom*
The tree that Yang Wei targeted was sliced in halves with a clean and smooth cut in the tree.
‘Seems like I wasn’t wrong about him after all.’
Elder Jing said before her lips started to curl upward a bit, making a beautiful smile with her amazing figures that could make men flock toward her like a moth in a fire.
Flickering her hand to get rid of the dust made from the fallen tree, Elder Jing arrived before Yang Wei who is unconscious now.
“To think a 4th Qi Condensation stage was able to produce such prowess that could even threaten a Nascent Soul realm cultivator.”
Elder Jing said before lifting Yang Wei up to bring him inside her room to rest.
Once she placed Yang Wei in the bed, she slowly walked out before looking at the moon in the sky.
‘I was also once able to soar through the skies with ease but to think that bastard backstab me and caused me to have a backlash.’
Thinking about her past, Elder Jing gritted her teeth in anger and extended her hand, and smacked the remaining tree into a pile of dust.
*Huff*
Taking a deep breath after releasing her anger for a bit, Elder Jing closed her eyes before reopening them.
“Please do not betray me, Yang Wei, and have me incorrect in my judgment for the second time.”
Elder Jing mumbled softly before going to another room to sleep for tomorrow’s mystery realm which is her last chance to survive the poison in her body.
