Chapter 50 - 50: 050, [I’m Showing My Hand] (Thanks to Alliance Hierarch “Yu Yan” for the reward!)
The Natural Sword Embryo is a rare occurrence only seen every few thousand years.
It is said that the founder of Sword Mountain was a Natural Sword Embryo. Afterwards, until the split of Sword Mountain into One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain, no second Natural Sword Embryo had appeared.
As for the previous Sect Master of the Demon Sect, Yan Li, the world’s top Sword Cultivator, people always suspected he might have been one too.
Now as for Lu Xun… he’s well aware — I’m not a Natural Sword Embryo!
Other than having a full Charisma value, his Swordsmanship Aptitude is only 1 point. A real Natural Sword Embryo, must have Swordsmanship Aptitude at 10 points. He still has a long way to go!
Strictly speaking, he’s just a player who uses cheat codes.
But now everybody is saying I’m a Natural Sword Embryo…
Well then, I’ll lay it all out on the table!
That’s right, I am a Natural Sword Embrio!
Due to his unique characteristics, where others must comprehend their cultivation, he only needs to stack up Experience Points, which can sometimes seem too incredible.
After all, even after the players from another world descended, everyone was still a newbie starting from scratch, embarking from the newbie village, completing small tasks before undertaking larger ones, step by step.
Who could leap straight up to the position of a Young Elder of the Demon Sect, casually accepting big rewarding quests and reducing their difficulty with the strengthening of their status.
He was rising too fast and indeed needed a cover, and a Natural Sword Embryo was a perfect choice.
Fine, from today on, I am a bona fide Natural Sword Embrio!
When Lu Xun opened his eyes, he immediately saw the wooden sword lying between him and his second senior sister.
The wooden sword was simple, with no apparent patterns. It was extremely rustic, even inferior to the toy wooden swords everyone played with as children.
Upon closer inspection, this wooden sword possessed its own charm, as if it was alive!
It was at this moment that Lu Xun realized that his second senior sister’s hair, usually kept up, was now let loose. The coldness was gone, replaced with soft beauty.
Before he had time to take a closer look, his second senior sister waved her sleeve and put him back on the ground.
She probably understood what was going on now.
If it’s a Natural Sword Embryo, then man becomes the sword, making sense.
Even though neither his eldest senior brother nor the founder of Sword Mountain ever walked that path, it doesn’t mean it’s impossible.
The Sword Cultivating Technique was always used to cultivate swords. Now that it had suddenly changed to cultivating men, it felt weird…
With this change, will the sword still maintain its previous power?
Can little junior brother still achieve unity between man and sword?
Let’s give it a try!
Second Senior Sister said, “Nanbei, go… go find Master Sima, ask… ask him for… a sword.
Sima Chuan, the Peak Master of Evergreen Peak is an Artifact Refining Master. He also had control over the distribution of all Magical Weapons. To put it bluntly, he was in charge of the Demon Sect’s warehouse.
“Why do we need a sword?” Mao Nanbei was taken aback. “For… for little junior brother… to try.” Second Senior Sister said.
“Alright!” Mao Nanbei stood up immediately.
Lu Xun quickly said, “Fourth Senior Sister, remember to get one of a higher grade!”
While they were simply borrowing it to try things out, his status as the Young Elder of the Demon Sect and Sima Chuan’s junior meant that borrowing for a slightly longer period of time shouldn’t be a problem, right?
Currently, he didn’t have a single piece of equipment on him, which was quite pitiful.
I, Lu Xun, am a respectful person!
I can’t afford to lose this face!
Mao Nanbei covered his cat ears with his hands, pretending not to hear, then flew away.
“I’m not listening, I’m not listening, constant nagging!”
They’re going to get a sword for an experiment, why add “the higher the grade the better”? That just makes me lose face, it’s not like I lack Magical Weapons.
The drought died of drought, the flood died of flood…
The reason they had to specifically go to Sima Chuan to borrow was because the swords of Mao Nanbei, Second Senior Sister and the Masterless Sword have high grades. Lu Xun simply couldn’t fully utilize their power.
Mao Nanbei returned quickly, not only bringing back one sword, but two.
Master Sima was quite generous, mainly because it was Second Senior Sister who sent the little girl, so he gave her two.
If Mao Nanbei had asked for himself, he might have cheekily asked a question: “What does the Young Elder need a sword for?”
“Whoosh-“, Mao Nanbei tossed forward, and the two swords were stuck in the ground.
The sword on the left is long and wide, all black, resembling the one used by Yang Guo in The Legend of the Condor Heroes.
Lu Xun glanced at it and the basic information was displayed:
[Sword Name: Black Ruler (Yellow), Intermediate Grade Magic Tool.]
Given his current level, he could exploit most of the power of an Intermediate Grade Magic Tool.
The sword on the right has a more unique design, mainly purple, the flamboyant type of purple, and a series of dark red patterns adorned the blade. Overall, it’s pretty fancy!
[Sword Name: Overlord Purple Emperor Red (Yellow), Superior Magical
Weapon.]
“What kind of stupid name is that…” Lu Xun squirmed.
The contrast between these two swords is sizable. Second Senior Sister sat on a boulder and said, “Try… try it out.”
Lu Xun nodded, and went towards the Black Ruler first.
As soon as his right hand touched the hilt of the sword, the little sword in his Sword Heart shivered, and then an invisible force emanated from the palm of his hand, shooting the Black Ruler away!
Lu Xun: ”
He blankly stared at his own right hand, then again at the Black Ruler that had been shot away, completely flabbergasted.
He jogged over to the Black Ruler and stretched out his hand to pick it up. As his fingertips touched the hilt, the little sword in his Sword Heart trembled even more.
“Bang–!”
The Black Ruler was shot away once more, this time even knocking over a bamboo!
Lu Xun didn’t relent, and after several more attempts, finally gave up on the Black Ruler. Then he turned his attention to the flamboyantly named Overlord Purple Emperor Red.
“Bang–“, again it was shot away, but compared to the Black Ruler, it didn’t fly as far.
Lu Xun stared blankly at his own hands. He could faintly sense the jealousy from the little sword inside his Sword Heart.
More precisely, it was being averse to these two swords!
It didn’t allow Lu Xun to touch foreign doggies!
Not just him, even Mao Nanbei and Second Senior Sister were flabbergasted by what was happening.
“How can this be?” The same thought crossed all three of their minds.
Second Senior Sister thought for a moment, her slender fingers made a slight turn, and the wooden hairpin transformed back into a wooden sword, flying in front of Lu Xun.
“Try… try it.” Second Senior Sister said again.
Lu Xun nodded, but didn’t immediately take the sword.
He couldn’t view the basic information of this wooden sword, meaning it was of a very high grade, too high for his current status.
Therefore, he was a bit nervous, as well as cautious.
Before gripping the sword, he took a deep breath.
Only then did he slowly extend his right hand towards the handle of the wooden sword.
