I Have A Sword

Chapter 75: The Sword Master!

Ye Guan knew that Master Pagoda was hiding something from him, but he didn’t really care about it anymore. He cared more about becoming stronger than prying into Master Pagoda’s secrets.

He was born in a world where strength was everything, and he had to become stronger if he wanted to achieve greatness.

Qin Feng looked at Ye Guan and felt slightly bewildered.

Could it be that Ye Guan was unaware of his own origins?

He investigated Ye Guan’s background and found that Ye Guan was the adopted son of the Ye Clan of Nanzhou, but that was about it. Qin Feng didn’t discover anything else aside from that.

However, there was no way Ye Guan’s identity would be so simple. He was an extraordinary young man, after all. He was a seventeen-year-old Sword Immortal.

He would be considered an extreme talent whether he was on the Zhongtu Divine Continent or in the Main Guanxuan Academy. A talent like him would become one of the strongest people in the world the moment he became a Sword Sovereign.

Even the Main Guanxuan Academy only had three Sword Sovereigns.

Qin Feng smiled politely and said, “Brother Ye, family background is really important in this world, but I think that one’s own hard work is more important than anything else. It’s not our fault that we were born into a poor household, but it would be our fault if we did not work hard to become even stronger!”

Ye Guan smiled and nodded in agreement. “I definitely agree, Brother Qin,” he said.

Qin Feng boisterously laughed.

A resolute light flashed in Ye Guan’s eyes. “Brother Qin, I’d like to cultivate in one of your cultivation rooms!” he said.

“I’ll arrange it for you,” Qin Feng replied.

Ye Guan smiled and said, “Thank you.”

“Don’t mention it! What aspect of cultivation would you like to focus on?”

“Spacetime gravity!” Ye Guan replied.

“I’ve heard that you’ve already gotten used to sixteen additional layers of spacetime gravity.”

Ye Guan nodded and replied, “Do you have a room with more layers of gravity?”

“Yes,” Qin Feng said, “Please follow me.”

Qin Feng turned around and walked away. Ye Guan followed closely behind him.

Qin Feng soon brought Ye Guan to a great hall enveloped in darkness. Qin Feng stared at him and said, “We’re inside Yue City’s highest-ranking cultivation ground. It’s no longer just a room, and it costs twenty thousand gold spiritual crystals to cultivate here for a day.”

Ye Guan asked hesitantly, “Can I get a discount?”

His pockets were bulging, but Ye Guan still felt like he had to save as many gold spiritual crystals as he could if he could do so. Ye Guan knew that he had a turbulent future ahead of him, so he had to save up while he could still afford it.

Qin Feng chuckled and said, “I’ll let you stay here for a month for free!”

Ye Guan shook his head and smiled, “I don’t think that’s appropriate, Brother Qin!”

“Just take it as a token of our friendship,” Qin Feng said, “Of course, if you insist, then I can just retract my offer.”

“Haha.” Ye Guan chuckled and said, “Come on, don’t say that, Brother Qin.”

“Hahaha. Qin Feng boisterously laughed and urged. “All right, I understand. All right, go ahead, Brother Ye.”

“All right.” Ye Guan nodded.

“Do you want to start on the seventeenth level, or perhaps…” Qin Feng trailed off.

“Yes, I would like to start on the seventeenth level,” said Ye Guan.

“Sure!” Qin Feng nodded and obliged.

Ye Guan walked into the cultivation grounds, and the terrifying gravity of the cultivation ground bored down on him upon entering. However, the gravity only elicited a frown from Ye Guan.

“Brother Qin, please give me eighteen additional layers of gravity!”

Qin Feng nodded and waved his sleeve to grant Ye Guan his wish.

Boom!

A loud noise echoed as the gravity in the cultivation grounds intensified.

Ye Guan closed his eyes. Moments later, he cried out, “Brother Qin! Give me nineteen, please!”

Nineteen! Qin Feng’s eyes narrowed, but he still waved his hand.

Nineteen layers of additional gravity pressed down on Ye Guan. Soon, Ye Guan shouted, “Brother Qin, increase it to twenty-one!”

Disbelief flashed past Qin Feng’s eyes. He wants twenty-one layers of additional gravity?

Ye Guan was just a Space Shattering Realm Cultivator.

Qin Feng knew zero cultivators capable of enduring twenty-one additional layers of gravity.

There were some talents among the demon race capable of withstanding such gravitational force, but those talents possessed exceedingly powerful physiques.

Nonetheless, Qin Feng waved his hand once again.

Boom!

Ye Guan felt his feet sinking into the ground.

However, Ye Guan smiled slightly rather than frown. It turned out that he had been looking for this feeling.

The pressure and weight are heavy enough. This is great! Ye Guan inwardly rejoiced. He soon raised his sword and started swinging. His movements were slow at first, but he was slowly getting faster.

Ye Guan wasn’t exclusively cultivating his sword here. His understanding of spacetime gravity’s constant rules was also deepening. Ye Guan soon found out that heavier spacetime gravity meant carrying the weight of heavier spatial matter.

It seemed that space itself was a substance.

Ye Guan’s method of acclimatizing to the heavier spacetime gravity was comprehending the ever-changing spatial matter that accompanied that certain spacetime gravity weight. It was an unskippable process.

Ye Guan got faster and faster as he swung his sword. Qin Feng’s expression was serious as he stared at Ye Guan.

Ye Guan’s terrifying talent as a swordsman made it seem like the twenty additional layers of gravity were nothing but air. Qin Feng reckoned that no one in the same realm as Ye Guan could contend against him when it came to speed.

No, Qin Feng was sure that Ye Guan was faster than those two or three realms above him.

He’s a heaven-defying talent! Qin Feng shook his head and smiled wryly. If Ye Guan were a student of the Main Guanxuan Academy, he would definitely be on the Divine Martial List.

However, Qin Feng couldn’t help but think that his presumption was a bit absurd because the talents on the Divine Martial List were all Major Tribulation Realm cultivators.

The Space Annihilation Realm was what was next after the Space Shattering Realm.

A Space Annihilation Realm cultivator would become an Earth Law Realm cultivator after a breakthrough, and the next realms afterward were the Heaven Law Realm, Minor Tribulation Realm, and finally, the Major Tribulation Realm.

Ye Guan was five realms away from the Major Tribulation Realm!

Qin Feng had to admit Ye Guan was the most remarkable Space Shattering Realm he had ever seen.

Ye Guan suddenly called out, “Brother Qin! Twenty-two!”

Qin Feng waved his hand to grant Ye Guan’s wish.

Rumble!

A loud rumbling echoed as the spacetime gravity of the cultivation ground increased once more.

Ye Guan only spent two hours acclimatizing to the twenty-two layers of additional gravity before he called out to Qin Feng and had it increased to twenty-three additional layers of gravity.

Qin Feng’s eyes were unwittingly transfixed on Ye Guan, and his shock deepened with each passing moment. Whenever he thought that Ye Guan had already reached his limits, the latter would immediately prove him wrong.

Two hours later, Ye Guan was now standing beneath twenty-four layers of additional gravity.

Twenty-four! Qin Feng reeled in disbelief. It would be an understatement to say that he was astonished.

By the following day at noon, Qin Feng’s stupefaction had reached greater heights.

Ye Guan was now standing beneath twenty-six layers of additional gravity.

Qin Feng stared at Ye Guan with a complicated look in his eyes.

He’s a lunatic! Ye Guan’s attitude toward cultivation was unbelievable. Qin Feng had seen Ye Guan looking all excited upon realizing that he was struggling to endure a certain amount of gravity. No, Ye Guan wasn’t just excited. He was ecstatic as well!

Qin Feng was aware that Ye Guan was continuously pushing himself beyond his limits, and he found the young man increasingly admirable as time went on.

Soon, it was already five days since Ye Guan entered the cultivation ground of Yue City’s Immortal Treasures Pavilion. Ye Guan managed to acclimatize to twenty-nine additional layers of gravity in just five days.

Right now, Ye Guan was withstanding thirty additional layers of gravity. He stood as upright as a sword and brandished his sword slowly as if he were a struggling old man.

As usual, Ye Guan’s movements slowly got faster.

Two hours later, Ye Guan’s speed beneath thirty additional layers was now comparable to his speed in the outside world. In other words, he had completely acclimatized to thirty layers of additional gravity!

“Brother Qin! Thirty-one!” Ye Guan cried out.

However, the extreme weight and pressure disappeared.

Ye Guan was taken aback.

Qin Feng walked into the cultivation ground while shaking his head. He chuckled and said, “Brother Ye, the Immortal Treasures Pavilion branch of Yue City can only provide a maximum of thirty layers of additional gravity.”

Really? This is it? Ye Guan frowned. contemporary romance

Qin Feng directed a strange gaze at Ye Guan.

Ye Guan had gained a tremendous amount of understanding about spacetime. He also created a three-step model over the past five days—familiarizing himself with the rules of spacetime gravity, assimilating his comprehension, and going beyond his limits.

Spacetime gravity had constant rules, and one could achieve twice the results with half the effort as long as one had enough knowledge of its unchanging rules.

Ye Guan was now capable of annihilating spacetime and gathering the remnant energy for the sake of profound energy efficiency.

A Space Annihilation Realm cultivator was capable of doing such things, but Ye Guan was just a Space Shattering Realm cultivator. He wasn’t supposed to annihilate space.

However, Ye Guan didn’t choose to make a breakthrough. He felt that he still hadn’t reached the limits of the Space Shattering Realm.

Ye Guan decided to focus on using his wisdom in combat. With that in mind, Ye Guan turned to look at Qin Feng and asked, “Brother Qin, would you be interested in a friendly spar?”

What Ye Guan needed the most right now was practical experience through combat.

Qin Feng’s eyes twitched. “Surely, you jest, Brother Ye! I’m just a fatty, do I look like someone who knows how to fight? I’m good at soliciting prostitutes from brothels, but fighting? Forget it!”

Ye Guan chuckled bitterly at the response.

Qin Feng noticed that and asked, “Is it because you want to test your actual strength in combat?”

“That is indeed the case,” said Ye Guan with a nod.

“You should go to the Guanxuan Academy and get on the list,” Qin Feng advised.

“What list?” Ye Guan asked, seemingly confused.

Qin Feng was confused as well.

“Have you not heard of the Guanxuan Academy’s Martial List?”

Ye Guan shook his head and replied, “No, I haven’t heard of it.”

As far as Ye Guan could remember, he became a disciple of the Daoist Sect upon arriving on the Zhongtu Divine Continent. However, the Daoist Sect—forget it! Ye Guan felt that it was a waste of time to even think about the Daoist Sect’s facilities.

Qin Feng explained, “The Guanxuan Academy has a martial list that comprises talents from many realms, including the Zhongtu Divine Continent. You can become a part of the list as long as you’re below twenty-five years of age.

“The talents on the martial list are the top geniuses throughout all realms, and they are role models of the younger generation.”

Ye Guan shook his head and said, “I’m not a student of the Guanxuan Academy.”

Qin Feng smiled and replied, “You don’t have to be.”

Ye Guan pondered over it in silence.

“You can win exciting prizes!” Qin Feng added.

Ye Guan abruptly looked up at Qin Feng and asked, “Prizes? What are the prizes?”

“The tenth placer would receive a monthly stipend of five hundred thousand gold spiritual crystals, the ninth placer would get seven hundred thousand gold spiritual crystals, the eighth placer would get a million, the seventh placer would get 1.3 million gold spiritual crystals…

”The third placer would get three million, the second placer would receive four million, while the first placer would get a whopping five million gold spiritual crystals and an additional one hundred thousand immortal spiritual crystals!”

Five million gold spiritual crystals and an additional one hundred thousand immortal spiritual crystals! Ye Guan was moved. He had a decent amount of gold spiritual crystals, but he was spending them at an alarming rate. He had already spent around four hundred thousand gold spiritual crystals over the past five days!

He would have spent more if he had to pay for the cultivation ground as well.

“The first placer would also receive the privilege of getting a glimpse of the will that the Sword Master had left behind,” said Qin Feng.

“The Sword Master’s will?” Ye Guan asked.

“Yes.” Qin Feng nodded. “It would be like hitting the jackpot if the Sword Master decides to give you a small portion of his inheritance. Of course, it’s highly likely that he won’t appear, and he only appeared once throughout history, which was already a few thousand years ago.

The Sword Master’s appearance! Ye Guan couldn’t help but yearn for the opportunity. Of course, he didn’t really care about the Sword Master’s inheritance. He just wanted to meet the man himself.

Ye Guan thought that he might be able to receive the Sword Master’s permission to borrow the Qingxuan Sword if he managed to meet the man himself. The chance was low, but it still existed.

“Master Pagoda,” Ye Guan inwardly called out. “You told me that you’re acquainted with the Sword Master, was that true?”

“Yes,” Little Pagoda replied. Ye Guan thought about it for a few moments before asking, “Will I meet him if I use your relationship with him?”

“Yes. He’s strong, but he’ll definitely come out and talk to you for my sake,” Master Pagoda bragged.
