Chapter 34: I just want to be a Swordsman
"Golden Dragon Battle Soul Technique!"
"Our sect has had this technique for thousands of years but nobody has successfully practiced this technique to perfection. Many people try it and fail miserably. As for Beast Taming Spell, you need to know more about spell first."
"Spells are rare in our region and the part of the reason is that we lack resources. You see, to create a spell, one needs to cultivate the soul. And, cultivating a soul requires a lot of recourses. It is like a cycle of resources, spell, and cultivation."
"In the end, resources are the most important factor for the cultivation. That's why I am surprised. Why did you say that you want to stay low-key? With your talent and current strength, you could easily enter the Inner Court."
"And, Inner Court Disciples receives ten times more resources than Outer Court disciples." Yue Bin turned her head at Qin and asked with confusion. She felt Qin was different from others. If it was someone else with his talent and strength, he would have done everything just to get enough recognition.
At this moment, Qin smiled and shook his head. He looked at the bright sky and spoke "When I was small, my godfather used to tell me the story of three swordsmen every single day. It was gone to the point where I even asked him 'why do you love swordsmanship so much?'"
"At that time, he looked at me, smiled, and answered 'When a person cultivates to the higher realm, he thinks he is invincible. Because most people do not cultivate their hearts. And if you don't have a humble heart, you will find yourself unique, talented, and strongest. In the end, you will be restricted to a certain world and never find the heaven beyond your heaven.'"
"A swordsman trains his heart and that makes him understand the truth of the world. He will always try to surpass himself, seeking defeat, begging for death, he will always find a way to improve himself. Of course, not every swordsman can do this but if you can become a swordsman that can, then you will achieve the strength to fulfill your dream."
"From a small age, I always envy people with family. I used to isolate myself so that I can purify this jealousy. One day, my grandfather saw this and said 'If you become a swordsman, you can kill any emotions you want, you can destroy your inner demon any time you want, and you can live with your original heart.'"
"This made me curious. And, every single time I used to be in distress, my grandfather told me to be a swordsman so that I can defeat that distress. He used to say 'There is nothing a sword can't cut, if there is, then it just means you are strong enough."
"This is why I want to be a swordsman." At this moment, he took a long breath and spoke.
"If it was before, I would've said because I don't have the background and I might get into trouble."
"But, when I read that, I found I was wrong. It wasn't because I don't have the background rather my sword is not suitable for getting recognition. Getting recognition will always attract trouble especially if it is a swordsman because a swordsman never bent from his original ideas."
"And, many people don't like that. Strong people want weak people to follow their rules and think of themselves as the king. A swordsman follows his own idea and doesn't care about others. If this is the case, won't I make many enemies?"
"Of course, it's not that I am afraid of making enemies rather I am afraid of fighting them. My sword is for killing but how many should I kill? Infinite? No, I am not afraid of killing but I don't want my heart to get inflicted by killing."
"If I stay low-key, I will attract less trouble which means I need to kill fewer people. People do not offend me, I don't offend people. If people offend me, my sword is not afraid of anything."
At this moment, Qin closed his eyes. The Sword Energy burst out of him like the pillar and the giant red sword hovered above him. Yue Bin was frozen when she saw Qin bursting so much sword energy. Not just her, even Qin was surprised.
He just spoke the truth that he realized but his sword cultivation improved? At this moment, Supreme Way of Sword Book suddenly appeared in front of him and hovered.
"If belief is invincible, the sword shall be invincible. My way of the sword is Supreme. Nine Heavens, Ten Earth, Three Hell, Five Immortals, there is nothing my sword can't cut."
Those words resounded in his head and for a moment his mind went blank. His Qi Sense penetrate his mind and appeared in the black. He saw the sword energy gathering inside and forming a sword. Dozens of sword energies combined and formed the sword.
When Qin saw this sword, his eyes shrunk. This wasn't the sword that he wasn't familiar with. It was Wind Splitting Sword Art's fourth form- Ultimate Qi Sword. But, when the sword emerged, he felt something is wrong.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, the sword passed through his body and his Qi Sense got cut off. The next moment, he returned back to his own consciousness and the sword energy around him disappeared. The Supreme Way of Sword was still floating in the air.
He looked at the page and his eyes shrunk.
"Fine and Detailed Realm- When a person creates a sword, it will be full of flaws. Only when the swordsman has the belief on his sword, he can see those flaws and improvise it."
After reading it, his mind was shocked. This was the realm beyond Perfection. A realm that transcends perfection and tries to find the flaws in someone's art. He didn't expect his Sword Belief will allow him to see the flaws in his own sword art.
He couldn't help but feel grateful to Yue Bin. Although his mindset has changed not long ago, he never got a chance to establish this change. But now, he got this chance thanks to Yue Bin. And, he gained a new realm to improve.
"Wow! No wonder, you want to stay low-key. With such improvements, you don't even need resources." Yue Bin on other hand looked at him with a speechless expression. She didn't think someone could improve with just a few words.
It's just she hasn't seen any true swordsman like Qin. Hearing her words, Qin couldn't refuse it. He didn't expect to improve in such a way either.
"Alright, if everything is finished. Let's return to the sect! We need to hurry up." Yue Bin sighed and stood up.
Qin nodded his head and suddenly looked at the sky 'Godfather, you said swordsmanship is fun. I think I understand it now. Although I am not in the level to destroy everything with one word, my journey as swordsmanship will be fun as well.'
Then, he turned around and disappeared alongside Yue Bin. The next moment, they appeared in the same room. But, everything in the room was cleared.
"Blood Demon Sect was here." Yue Bin made a serious expression and spoke.
"Blood Demon Sect?" Qin looked at her with surprise. Then, he remembered two Qi Condensation Realm cultivators that he killed were using Blood Demon Secret Art, at least one of them used it.
"Yes, you don't know about them. In Flame City, there are three families namely Yu Family, Zhen Family, and Tu Family. And, there are three sects namely Battle Dragon Sect, Shining Moon Sect, and Rising Sun Sect. But, there is another sect which hides in the shadows."
"It is called Blood Demon Sect. They practice the Demon Blood Cultivation Technique which is a qi cultivation technique that uses the blood of the people as a resource. Just like the energy that comes from your ...that..... the blood can also release strange energy that can be used for cultivation."
"They slaughter people and draw their blood in buckets for cultivation. It is an evil sect. I am not sure whether they know about you or not but if they do, then you need to be careful." Yue Bin explained with a serious expression. She clenched her fist with hatred while she remembered the pain that she had to go through.
She came to save those people but she underestimated them. If it was Qi Gathering Realm, she would've been invincible. But, unfortunately, her opponent was Qi Condensation Realm.
"Don't worry, I will be careful." Qin nodded his head and both of them left the cave. While walking, Qin called Claire many times, but she didn't reply. He got a little confused.
While they walked out of the cave, five figures suddenly appeared in front of them.
"I know you were hiding here." The man who appeared in front of him was none other than Tan Ming. When he saw Qin, he was shocked. Because he didn't expect his cultivation to reach the fourth stage of Qi Gathering Realm so soon.
Before he could say anything, the man in black robe suddenly shot towards Qin with the dagger in his hand.
Bang!
