Chapter 708: Chapter 710: Secret Manual as a Table Leg Wedge?
Master Xianzhu furrowed her brows slightly.
“The Wuyang Sky Splitting Sword Technique, have you not practiced it?”
*She felt a bit uneasy!*
*If it wasn’t practiced, how could Yang Yan amaze everyone at the martial arts tournament?*
“Oh, you’re talking about that secret manual, I glanced at it.
Felt it was ordinary, so I just put it down.” Yang Yan casually pointed.
He pointed to the spot right under the table in the room.
“You used the Wuyang Sword Sect’s supreme sword technique as a table leg prop!!!” Master Xianzhu’s expression suddenly changed.
Her figure moved into the room.
She hurriedly lifted the table and pulled out the Wuyang Sky Splitting Sword Technique.
She brushed off the dust on it and let out a sigh of relief.
“The sword technique is fine, thank goodness, thank goodness!”
She quickly put it away and exited the room, standing in front of Yang Yan.
“Disciple, you were too reckless.
This is the Wuyang Sword Sect’s supreme sword technique, and you used it as a table leg prop.
If other Peak Masters or the Sect Master saw it,
you would be severely punished and at risk of being expelled from the sect.” Master Xianzhu’s voice grew softer.
She too feared others learning of this!
After all, she was Yang Yan’s master and had a duty to teach him.
If her disciple did something like this, as a master she not only had to punish Yang Yan but also face punishment herself.
With these negative consequences, she naturally didn’t want others to know about it.
“An ordinary secret manual, does the Wuyang Sword Sect value it so much?” Yang Yan said indifferently.
In his view, this Wuyang Sky Splitting Sword Technique was too mundane.
Any swordsmanship he practiced could easily surpass it.
“What ordinary secret manual, this is a sword technique that leads straight to the Emperor Realm.
If mastered to the highest level, it can achieve Half-Emperor Cultivation.” Master Xianzhu said in a deep voice.
“Do not underestimate it!”
Yang Yan put down the kettle.
“Half-Emperor?”
He laughed!
Reaching Half-Emperor, so what?
“Disciple, you’re too arrogant.
If you practice this secret manual well, you can go much further.
Plus, you’re reaching too high right now; how could you look down on the Wuyang Sky Splitting Sword Technique?
Let me tell you, if you take a good look, you will discover its mysteries and get utterly absorbed in it.” Master Xianzhu said, feeling exasperated.
“Alas, now it’s too late to say anything.
You haven’t practiced; how will you handle this martial arts tournament?”
She felt a bit regretful.
“I shouldn’t have practiced; I should’ve watched you practice over these past two days.”
Suddenly, a voice came through.
“Master, Master!”
A female figure rushed up; it was the woman who had appeared by Zhao Yang’s side.
“What is it?” Master Xianzhu suppressed the anxiety in her heart and asked.
“The martial arts tournament has already begun; all the Peak Masters are waiting for you.” The woman replied.
She then greeted Yang Yan.
“Hello, Junior Brother.”
Yang Yan nodded slightly at her.
“Hello, Senior Sister.”
At the word ‘Senior Sister’, the woman immediately beamed with a smile.
But Master Xianzhu had a face full of worries and a troubled heart.
“Master, when shall we go?” the woman asked again.
Master Xianzhu sighed.
“Now that it’s come to this, let’s go now.
Whether it ends sooner or later, it has to end.” She waved her hand afterwards.
Enveloping Yang Yan and the woman with Profound Qi, she ascended into the sky.
They passed through the clouds, arriving at the main mountain among the five peaks.
This was the Main Peak!
The martial arts tournament was naturally held on this mountain.
Before reaching the Main Peak, Yang Yan looked down.
Elegant figures stood atop, each one extraordinary.
In the center, lined up in a row, sat dignified elders.
At the very center were several Peak Masters, including the Sect Master.
At the edge of the many Peak Masters’ positions, there was an empty spot.
Master Xianzhu’s figure flew over, landing precisely on that vacant seat.
Yang Yan and the woman stood beside her, akin to the others beside the Peak Masters.
Seeing Master Xianzhu arrive, many of the Wuyang Sword Sect disciples turned their gaze to Yang Yan.
“Is he the newly admitted disciple?”
“It’s him; this disciple is extraordinary, his entry test was astonishing!”
“I’ve heard his talent and Root Bone rival the ancestors of the Wuyang Sword Sect!”
“Is he really that strong? But if he’s so powerful, why did he join the Bamboo Sword Peak?”
“Yeah, that’s the weakest of the peaks, ordinary cultivators aren’t willing to enter, why would such a genius want to?”
“Senior Brother Zhao Yang helped him, later on sparking the Peak Masters’ ire, they all went to the Bamboo Sword Peak.”
“The Peak Masters and Master Xianzhu made an agreement, if this genius can’t impress everyone with his swordsmanship this time.
Then this genius will be transferred out of Bamboo Sword Peak and join another mountain.”
“That’s the right way to do it, the weakest peak, Bamboo Sword Peak, doesn’t deserve a genius with such high talent!”
The discussions continued, and Yang Yan heard them.
So he understood why Master Xianzhu wanted him to amaze them at the martial arts tournament.
It was to keep him around!
And she wasn’t wrong; if he didn’t practice swordsmanship diligently, he would lose Master Xianzhu as his mentor.
*”She’s really unfortunate, but compared to the other Peak Masters, Master Xianzhu is easier to talk to,”* Yang Yan thought to himself.
He planned inwardly, preparing to display a small performance.
“This time I’ll hold back a bit, not too much.
A bit higher than the others’ swordsmanship will suffice.”
Sitting there expressionlessly, Master Xianzhu was uneasy and a bit impatient.
*”Everyone knows now, I’m bound to lose face!”*
Thump, thump, thump!
The Wuyang Sword Sect Master knocked on the table; the sound vibrated, reaching everyone’s ears.
“Quiet!”
As soon as he spoke, all the chatter stopped.
For a moment, this area became very quiet; the Wuyang Sword Sect Master continued.
“Everyone, the martial arts tournament has been held more than once, twice now.
I believe everyone is very clear about the rules, so I won’t elaborate further.
I just hope everyone doesn’t hold back this time.
Show off your talents to the fullest, the Sect won’t mistreat you.”
“Understood!” everyone replied in unison.
“Good, in that case, let’s begin.
Who will go first?” he looked around, asking the opinions of many Peak Masters.
A middle-aged man with a shaved head and a rough appearance spoke up.
“Let my Tianxuan Peak take the lead!” he said loudly.
With that, he waved his hand, and a figure like a towering iron pagoda walked out from behind him.
This man was tall and sturdy, muscles crisscrossing his body, carrying a big sword embryo on his back; he was immensely intimidating just to look at.
“Alright.” The Sect Master agreed. “Go ahead.”
The tall and sturdy man arrived at the center of the stage, cupped his fists towards the surroundings.
He drew out the big sword embryo and immediately took action.
Seeing him robust, everyone thought he only had immense strength, but unexpectedly.
This person’s attack speed was extremely fast too.
“Wind and Thunder Shock!”
The violent Profound Qi was incredibly powerful.
His sword swung down, with the faint sound of a fierce wind and roaring thunder.
The surrounding cultivators were quite shaken.
“Wind and thunder, he’s already entered the Realm of Intent!”
“This person is really formidable!”
“He is the disciple of our Tianxuan Peak Master, the senior brother of Tianxuan Peak; of course he’s strong!”
Before long, he finished displaying his set of swordsmanship.
“I don’t know who among you has practiced swordsmanship better than mine.
If confident, you can come to the stage!
Please!” he said proudly.
