Qiu Ya...

Tidal Sea Spirit?

When Jiang Lin looked at this senior brother, he almost dropped his teacup.

The tattered raincoat, the blue Seafood Market clothes, the pale yellow straw hat, especially the fluffy hairstyle, and the trident held in the blue gloves.

And that melancholy look in his eyes!

Isn't that Aquaman?!

At this moment, in Jiang Lin's mind, the familiar melody of "A Spray of Plum Blossoms" seemed to echo once again...

Who are you, sir?

Jiang Lin stood up, and a wave crashed over him, wetting the Jiang Lin of his clothes.

However, the seawater possessed a certain ferocity and the sharpness of a sword blade.

At this moment, Jiang Lin realized that this was not a simple illusion, but a sword realm formed by the condensation of sword intent!

To reach this level, one must be at least at the Nascent Soul Realm Second Level, and possess an extremely deep understanding of sword intent.

Sword energy becomes sword intent, and sword intent condenses into the realm of swords.

Even so, why did you take a trident?

"Brother, is your name Jiang Lin?"

Holding the old, slightly rusted trident-shaped harpoon, the man slowly disembarked from the boat.

"Brother, is your surname Yuan?"

Jiang Lin also asked.

The Sea King's eyes widened slightly, a look of surprise on his face. "How did you know my real name is 'Yuan'?"

"..."

Jiang Lin's brow twitched slightly! He was utterly shocked!

So your surname really is Yuan!

Unaware of Jiang Lin's shock, the man disembarked, walked to Jiang Lin's side, and bowed respectfully while holding the trident.

"My name Ji Zhenda, formerly Yuan Lang, the senior disciple of Wave Sword Peak. I have come here to meet you at Brother Jiang's special invitation."

Ji Zhenda???

That's a great name...

"I've long wished to know Senior Brother Yuan's name..." Jiang Lin poured himself a cup of tea to calm his nerves, "But Senior Brother Yuan, could you perhaps withdraw your Sword Realm?"

Jiang Lin didn't feel that his swordsmanship was particularly strong.

Rather, the sense of déjà vu was so strong that Jiang Lin was afraid he might accidentally burst out singing "A Spray of Plum Blossoms".

And, my shoes are wet...

"Oh, I'm sorry, my junior brothers said that entering the arena with sword intent would greatly shock Brother Jiang."

"Indeed, I felt it; it was quite a shock." Jiang Lin deeply agreed, thinking his junior brother was indeed a genius...

After putting away his sword, Jiang Lin's shoes were still wet from the waves of sword energy, but they dried in an instant.

Jiang Lin still found it very amazing.

So this is the Sword Realm?

Sword energy can be transformed into sword intent.

Sword intent can be gathered into the sword realm.

Within your unique sword realm, you are the master of your own world, and everything is a manifestation of your sword realm.

It's somewhat like the system giving you Unlimited Blade Works.

However, it's definitely different from my own Unlimited Blade Works.

Jiang Lin even wondered if, once he possessed his own sword realm, he could fuse with the Unlimited Blade Works to create a new sword realm.

"Please have a seat, Senior Brother Yuan."

Jiang Lin pointed to the spot in front of him.

Thank you.

Senior Brother Yuan Tidal Sea Spirit, nodded and sat down very politely in front of Jiang Lin.

only...

"Why is Senior Brother Yuan carrying a fish... and a trident?"

Looking at the harpoon in Senior Brother Yuan's hand, Jiang Lin asked.

"Oh, Brother Jiang, you don't know this. I, Yuan Lang, was born into a fisherman's family and fished for twenty years. One day, while fishing at sea, I accidentally bumped into Elder Xia Xia's boat from the Sword Wave Sword Peak. Elder Xia not only didn't blame me, but also saw that I had some talent in swordsmanship and took me as his disciple."

Therefore, this is how I was dressed when I reached the Sword Realm.

Firstly, it is to express my gratitude and commemorate Elder Xia's kindness in accepting me as his disciple when we met at sea years ago.

Secondly, it's to stay true to our roots and original aspirations; after all, our ancestors have been fishing for generations, and we can't forget our origins.

"I see. It seems Senior Brother Yuan is also a man of strong character, even his swordsmanship is so... unique, reminding me of my hometown."

"Is fishing also a common occupation in Brother Jiang's hometown?"

"No, my parents are self-employed."

"?"

"Ahem, let's not talk about that now. Senior Brother Yuan, do you want to challenge me to a match?"

Jiang Lin poured Yuan Lang a cup of tea.

Yuan Lang then put away his harpoon and picked up a cup of tea to drink.

It has to be said that Senior Brother Yuan exudes the scent of the sea from head to toe.

"As disciples of the Sword Sect, we have our own dignity. Since it is my junior brother's request, I cannot refuse."

Yuan Lang shook his head.

"But Brother Jiang, rest assured, our Sword Sect acts with integrity and will not embarrass Brother Jiang in the competition. I heard from Senior Lin that Brother Jiang are also participating in the Sword Spring Sword Comprehension, so how about we have Sword Spring Sword Comprehension this time?"

"Oh?" Jiang Lin also became interested. "How do you plan to compare them?"

"It's very simple. Sword Spring Sword Comprehension is about comprehending sword energy and sword intent. Whoever comprehends the most sword energy and sword intent wins. As for the bet, there's no need for that. It's just about saving face."

"Interesting."

Jiang Lin nodded in agreement, surprised that this senior brother of the Tidal Sea Spirit was so humble.

Especially with the straw raincoat, hat, and trident, Jiang Lin exuded a remarkable sense of approachability, almost as if he were reciting an essay in front of the entire class...

Seeing that Jiang Lin readily agreed, Yuan Lang's impression of Jiang Lin improved even more.

But... the thought that his beloved loved him made his heart ache.

Why, why does she like him but not me?

No! I must defeat Jiang Lin! Then I'll make her realize that she's no less than Jiang Lin, and that she's the man who conquered the sea!

After having another cup of tea, Yuan Hua... no, Yuan Lang was about to leave with his fork.

Just as Yuan Lang Yuan Lang stood up, the appearance of several women outside the door startled him.

Following Yuan Lang's gaze, Jiang Lin also saw several female Sword Cultivator dressed in revealing dresses.

Yes, their clothes are indeed quite revealing.

Jiang Lin was actually quite surprised by the arrival of these women.

After all, girls in ancient times valued their reputation highly, and even cultivators tended to be conservative in their thinking.

Jiang Lin thought they would only come to see him during the day, but he didn't expect them to come at night as well.

Is it because I'm too handsome?

This made Jiang Lin very wary. He could only say that it was fortunate that Yuan Lang (Ji Zhenda) was there to prove his innocence.

Otherwise, if my senior sister found out that several scantily clad women came to see me around 7 or 8 pm, I'd be in deep trouble no matter what.

"Qiu Ya..."

Looking at the woman running towards him from outside the courtyard, Yuan Lang seemed to have lost his soul and called out slowly.

"Qiu Ya???"

Jiang Lin was completely dumbfounded!

"Young Master Jiang!"

"Young Master Jiang, we've come to rescue you!"

"Is there anything unexpected for Young Master Jiang?"

"Is Young Master Jiang injured?"

Just as Jiang Lin was becoming increasingly confused, several women rushed into the courtyard and charged towards Jiang Lin. The four women made a move to assault Jiang Lin, but Jiang Lin carefully took a half-step back...

At this moment, seeing his junior sister showing concern for Jiang Lin, Yuan Lang felt as if his heart was being torn apart.

I looked up, and it seemed as if snowflakes were falling, while the north wind continued to blow...
