Junior Sister Only Slows Down My Saber Speed

The Zhenyuan Escort Agency's three main weapon martial arts for its direct disciples are the Tiger Roar Saber Technique, Dragon's Roar Spear Technique, and Phoenix Cry Sword Technique.

These three martial arts are known as the Three Absolute Martial Arts and have become famous through the agency's escorts.

Although the three weapon martial arts and Ten Directions Fist are only basic techniques, they are naturally extraordinary as they are the signature skills of the Zhenyuan Escort Agency.

It took the original body several years to barely get started with the Phoenix Cry Sword Technique, which illustrates its extraordinary nature.

After one night, Jiang Yuan's understanding of the Tiger Roar Saber Technique already surpassed his Phoenix Cry Sword Technique.

This was due to the foundation of a lifetime of saber technique mastery from his Second Life, as well as Wenzhao's annotations in the martial arts booklet that struck directly at the vital points.

Jiang Yuan's Tiger Roar Saber Technique would soon reach minor accomplishment.

If others outside knew, they would call him a genius.

Jiang Yuan, unusually, did not open the simulator to grind his First Life.

He had already redeemed Hardworking and Enduring and Fist and Foot Combat Skill this month.

Jiang Yuan strongly suspected that the simulator had calculated it perfectly, with his points just enough to redeem the rewards that refreshed in the Mundane World.

[Hardworking and Enduring]: You are naturally hardworking and enduring, increasing your resilience.

[Fist and Foot Combat Skill (Mundane World)]: The old coach Zhang San's lifelong skill in fist and foot combat (excluding cultivation methods and techniques).

[Hardworking and Enduring] is a talent-based skill. Jiang Yuan's month of non-stop cultivation was also thanks to this talent, which improved his endurance and made it easier to persist in his training.

Fist and Foot Combat Skill, on the other hand, was like a hazy memory. Unlike the muscle changes from the Broken Gate Saber, it felt more like martial experience.

It was as if he had experienced decades of combat in a daze, and his fist and foot combat skills had significantly improved.

Both of these were quite practical.

The rewards available after clearing the simulation were far better than before.

Jiang Yuan was still very eager for his First Life.

However, Jiang Yuan currently had no way to deal with his First Life.

Thinking about it, Jiang Yuan wanted to open his Third Life.

Third Life...

[Generate Third Life Simulated Life Required: Points * 200]

!

Jiang Yuan's expression changed drastically. He hadn't saved any points needed to generate a simulated life.

Instead, he had used them all to redeem rewards.

Jiang Yuan's mouth twitched, and he rubbed his head, feeling a bit helpless.

However, Jiang Yuan had now broken through to the Late Qi and Blood Stage and had the ability to take on missions from the escort agency, giving him the qualification to go out.

This would give him the qualification to hunt abnormalities and provide a reason to be away for extended periods.

Jiang Yuan licked his dry lips, feeling the immense energy contained within his chest.

This month of grinding his First Life had not been without its gains.

He now possessed an absolute trump card: his supreme Exotic Bone, the Great Sun Blazing Fire Bone.

Through so many deaths, Jiang Yuan had learned how to completely unleash the power of the exotic bone in his chest. This power was also the basis for his confidence in hunting abnormalities.

The power in his chest completely surpassed Jiang Yuan's understanding. He only knew it was the power of the Great Sun Blazing Fire Bone, and its immense scale shocked him.

It was also because Jiang Yuan had learned to completely unleash the power of the exotic bone in his First Life that such power still couldn't stop the white-clothed boy, which made Jiang Yuan despair.

He put on the uniform of a formal disciple of the escort agency, an Escort Hand.

A set of exquisite grey-white robes, with a profound black vest embroidered with a dragon, a phoenix, and a tiger, looked quite dashing.

Jiang Yuan patted his clothes and walked out, heading to the mission hall.

This was where all the missions the agency could accept were listed, including formal escorts.

However, the agency also took on other jobs. As long as they paid, they could hire people from the agency. Besides commissioned tasks, there were also missions dispatched by the agency itself.

He heard this system was modeled after the sects to the south and was quite effective.

However, for a newcomer like Jiang Yuan, it was best not to accept escort missions and instead take on a few missions for experience.

Jiang Yuan stood before a wooden platform, looking at the tokens hanging on the wall.

These were all individual missions, updated daily.

Although the rewards for some missions on this wall couldn't compare to escorting, the rewards for missions of considerable difficulty were no less than those for escorting.

Jiang Yuan browsed carefully.

His First Life was temporarily set aside; opening his Third Life was the top priority.

And to do so, he needed to save up a full two hundred points. The abnormality he had killed earlier only yielded thirty points.

The road to opening his Third Life was long and arduous.

Jiang Yuan stood there for a long time, then finally reached out to take a token from the middle.

"Jiang Yuan!"

His outstretched hand paused, and Jiang Yuan turned his head in confusion towards the person who called out.

The original body was solitary and arrogant. Is there actually someone in the escort agency who would greet me proactively?

He looked over and saw a young girl dressed in the same uniform as him.

Her skin was as white as frost and snow, with hints of pink. Her apricot eyes held a watery sheen, and her jet-black hair was styled in a single bun.

What a beautiful young girl. The formal disciple uniform of the escort agency further accentuated her heroic spirit.

Jiang Yuan nodded, without much emotional fluctuation, and said plainly, "Hello."

"Senior Brother Jiang, you've also been promoted to a formal disciple! What a coincidence! I just broke through as well. We can go on missions together!" The girl's smile was gentle.

"Excuse me... who are you?"

The smile on the girl's lips stiffened. Then, puffing out her cheeks, she said, "Senior Brother Jiang, you forgot? Three years ago! You saved me and brought me back to the escort agency!"

Jiang Yuan searched his memories and finally recognized the girl before him. It seemed he had some karma with her three years ago.

He had indeed seen a little girl unconscious on the road and, on impulse, brought her back to the escort agency. After handing her over, he hadn't inquired further.

So, this Yin He is that little girl from three years ago?

To reach the Late Qi and Blood Stage after three years of cultivation, her talent is quite impressive.

Jiang Yuan's furrowed brow relaxed slightly. He nodded at Yin He, then said, "So it was you. Congratulations on your breakthrough."

He then stopped looking at her and turned to take down a token from the wall.

"Report back here after you complete it," a lazy voice sounded. Jiang Yuan looked over and saw an old man sitting on a bamboo chair.

Jiang Yuan cupped his hands in respect towards the old man.

I wonder if the old man even saw it.

"Senior Brother Jiang! Senior Brother Jiang! Take me with you!" Yin He chirped from the side, annoying Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan didn't want to deal with Yin He.

What young junior sister? She'll only affect my saber speed!

However, Jiang Yuan responded to Yin He with a few words and a smile, causing Yin He's smile to bloom.

Jiang Yuan secretly thought, Could it be that my looks in this life are too outstanding? This girl seems to be actively trying to get close to me.

The two agreed to meet early the next morning and head to Qihe Village for a mission together.

In reality, Jiang Yuan had no intention of bringing Yin He along at all.

A joke! I'm going to hunt abnormalities and will likely have to reveal my trump cards. Bring a stranger?

I must not be thinking straight.

However, Jiang Yuan found it a little strange that the plots from those novels, where divine prodigal second-generation heirs came to fight over a beauty, didn't happen.

Wait! I seem to be the prodigal second-generation heir myself!

Jiang Yuan shook his head, clearing the messy thoughts from his mind.

The two parted ways with smiles.

What Jiang Yuan didn't see was that after separating from him, Yin He naturally left the escort agency. She wandered seemingly at random through the vast Haiyuan City, eventually entering a small courtyard.

Faint, almost inaudible sounds emanated from the courtyard.

"Qihe Village, mission for one to three people, collect the Heart of the Black Wolf, reward..."
