He had thought that there would be something surprising about the whole set of sword techniques.

Unexpectedly, they were all just for show.

Jiang Yu wanted to ask this old man, after practicing the sword for his entire life, could it be that he didn’t even have a bit of cultivation?

“Young Master, how is it? As expected of the champion of the community. His swordplay is indeed different from ordinary people,” The butler asked excitedly.

“Of course.” The ‘grandmaster’ raised his chin, seemingly very proud, “The results of my years of training are not something that others can achieve in a day. Don’t you think so, Young Master Jiang?”

The tone of his words made people very uncomfortable as if he was deliberately provoking them.

The system was already angry, [What is this person being so arrogant for? Did he think he was so great? Be it in terms of physique or cultivation, he can’t compare to you. Host, don’t let him bully you!]

Jiang Yu naturally wouldn’t get angry because of these words. His expression didn’t even change. He just said indifferently, “Butler, send the guest out.”

Such a reply made the butler and the grandmaster’s faces stiffen.

“Uh… Young Master, you…”

It’s hard to say… Young Master, aren’t you satisfied with this master? No way! He was a community champion after all! No matter what, he was still stronger than the young master, who was only a newbie!

The grandmaster felt insulted. He did not expect to be rejected. The man’s expression was even more unsightly, “Young Master Jiang, you are a newbie. My current abilities are enough to teach you. Even if you invite a more powerful master, he might not be able to teach a newbie like you.”

Even though he said so, the grandmaster still felt a sense of being looked down upon.

It had been a long time since anyone dared to deny him.

However, Jiang Yu didn’t agree with his words and only explained, “I’m sorry, Master. It’s not that you’re not capable enough, but it’s not what I want. I’ll convert the time spent today into cash for you. Butler, bring some gifts to reward the Master.”

After all, he had made a trip here, so they couldn’t let him return empty-handed.

With that, the grandmaster’s expression finally eased a bit.

Seeing this, the butler finally sighed and went to the warehouse to get something.

He didn’t expect the Young Master to reject the community champion. Where should he find a sword master for him?

Could it be that the young master was aiming to enter the national team?

The butler didn’t think that he had the ability to do so. Moreover, the teachers he found might not satisfy the Young Master. He should just mind his own business.

After the butler left, Jiang Yu originally planned to show his last courtesy and send the grandmaster off.

However, the other party suddenly launched an attack on him.

Jiang Yu quickly dodged. The other party’s sword was sharp, and he could feel a different aura from it. It was completely different from before.

Could it be that everything he did just now was an act?!

“You… You do have some skills. Then let’s see how many moves you can take from me!”

The grandmaster seemed to have discovered some treasure, his eyes flashing. He then continued to launch some fierce attacks at him.

Jiang Yu hurriedly reacted. Unfortunately, the other party had a weapon, so he could only continuously dodge without being able to counterattack. As a result, he gradually fell into a disadvantage.

What should he do? If this continued, he would lose!

After a few exchanges, Jiang Yu intended to directly face the sword’s edge, but the other party stopped attacking at this time.

“You have no will to live. My sword has been blessed. If you block it like that, I’m afraid you’ll have to go to the hospital.”

The grandmaster didn’t intend to hurt anyone, he just wanted to test the ability of this brat who didn’t even bat an eye at him. The result was beyond his expectations.

“Then why did the Master hide his true ability just now?”

Jiang Yu retorted, “In the face of ordinary people, a master should not need to hide his or her feelings. In this world, there are very few cultivators.”

“Because of this, I don’t need to expose my identity as a Cultivator in normal times.”

The grandmaster looked at him meaningfully, “I just didn’t expect that level of skill at such a young age. Your cultivation level isn’t low. Your physique is also extremely good.”

Since the person in front of him was a self-cultivator and knew swordsmanship, his matter would be easy to handle.

Jiang Yu took out the sword manual given to him by the system, “Master, please take a look at this sword manual. How do I practice?”

He couldn’t understand the words, so he could only practice according to the existing pictures. In the end, of course, there was no effect.

Since this master was also a cultivator and knew swordsmanship, he should be able to understand it.

However, after the grandmaster carefully looked at the instruction, he shook his head, “I don’t understand the words on it, so I can’t help you with this. However, if you want to learn swordsmanship, I can teach you a set.”

Since he couldn’t learn from the sword manual, there was no problem learning something else.

Therefore, Jiang Yu practiced with Master.

Jiang Yu learned very quickly. In just an hour, he had already grasped the essence of the sword technique. After the butler saw that the two of them were getting along harmoniously, he quietly left.

Since there was no conflict, then he did not need the things he took just now, right?

He knew that the master must have some ability. How could he not even teach the young master?

After a round of practice, Jiang Yu had already memorized the entire set of sword techniques.

However, he still did not feel any spiritual energy fluctuations.

What exactly went wrong?

[Host, you actually have the foundation of the sword control technique.] The System suddenly reminded him, [Actually, as long as you find the trick, you can level up very quickly.]

“The problem is that I can’t find it now,” Jiang Yu couldn’t help but roll his eyes. Then, he personally sent the master away and began to question the system. “Do you not want me to complete the mission at all? If no one can understand the words in this manual, how can I cultivate it? Teach me! Can you understand these words?”

This time, the system fell silent.

What its host said was right… It itself couldn’t understand the words in it.

Just as Jiang Yu was in a dilemma, the time was up. Jiang Yu received his “punishment” again.

He obtained a top-notch sword and a spirit pouch.

Jiang Yu wasn’t very interested in swords. He didn’t know swordsmanship anyway, so it was useless for him to have such a good sword.

He was now interested in this spirit pouch.

By using spiritual energy, one could put things into a spiritual bag and carry them around.

Jiang Yu gave it a try and put the sword into his spirit pouch.

It was such a heavy sword, but it didn’t weigh anything when he put it in. It was quite convenient.

Jiang Yu consumed some more spiritual energy and took out his sword.

[What do you think? My stuff is awesome, right?] The system said proudly, but Jiang Yu ignored it and continued to play with the spirit bag.

However, although this thing was convenient, it consumed a lot of spiritual power. Jiang Yu had only played it a few times before he felt that his body was unable to take it anymore.

However, he was not done playing.

“My spiritual energy is being consumed too quickly,” Jiang Yu couldn’t help but complain, “How many times have I played with this? How can I have no spiritual power?”

[Host, you’re still too weak now. When your cultivation level is high, you’ll be able to take and use the spirit bag at will. You won’t be affected at all.]
