Sword Saint Imparts His Skill

"I choose the Matchstick Swordplay."

Yi Xiaofeng said seriously, forcibly suppressing the wild joy in his heart.

Swordplay from the Ancient Secret Realm had to be powerful!

The Straw Cape Man frowned and asked, "Why not choose the Lethal Plum Blossom Sword or the God-Slaying Swordplay?"

He had a standard in mind.

If Yi Xiaofeng chose the God-Slaying Swordplay, he would immediately give up on taking him as a disciple.

If he chose the Lethal Plum Blossom Sword, he could still give it a try.

But if he chose the Matchstick Swordplay...

Was this kid an idiot?

"Just a feeling." Yi Xiaofeng smiled.

It looked like the Sword Saint had been shocked by him.

Hehe.

A mere Sword Saint dared to toy with him?

These eyes of his were no ordinary eyes!

The Lethal Plum Blossom Sword and God-Slaying Swordplay in the Straw Cape Man's hands suddenly vanished, leaving only the Matchstick Swordplay.

He tossed the Matchstick Swordplay to Yi Xiaofeng.

After catching it, Yi Xiaofeng immediately opened it to inspect it.

The next second, his expression turned strange.

Each page of the sword manual contained only one move, and every move was very simple.

It was like a set of calisthenics.

This was swordplay from the Ancient Secret Realm?

Yi Xiaofeng stared intently at the manual.

Then, he saw hidden sword techniques emerge from within the pages.

Densely packed!

They all rushed into his eyes.

In an instant, Yi Xiaofeng stood frozen on the spot.

"Hmph, dumbfounded now, aren't you? This is a blank book. I had Sword Child draw the sword techniques in it," the Straw Cape Man snorted inwardly.

To this day, he had yet to encounter a genius worthy of being accepted directly as his disciple.

Of the three sword techniques, the best choice was the Lethal Plum Blossom Sword.

He had guessed someone would deliberately choose the opposite.

Seeing Yi Xiaofeng standing motionless, the Straw Cape Man felt somewhat gratified and said, "This manual was drawn by my Sword Child. Though he was only twelve at the time, he had already displayed peerless talent. You must practice this Matchstick Swordplay well."

Upon hearing this, the viewers all burst into laughter:

"HAHAHA! Serves you right for not choosing the God-Slaying Swordplay! You got played!"

"Yi Xiaofeng: WCNM, this isn't following the script!"

"666, that was a slick move."

"Why do I think the Sword Saint is kind of cute?"

"What's cute about him? He's clearly scheming and screwing people over. I bet the God-Slaying Swordplay was created by a thirteen-year-old kid, and the Lethal Plum Blossom Sword by a fourteen-year-old."

Yi Xiaofeng did not answer the Straw Cape Man. At that moment, he was immersed in an enigmatic state.

The illusions within the sword manual poured into his eyes, and he followed them into a blank world. His body uncontrollably performed a mysterious set of sword techniques.

Again and again, faster and faster.

The feeling was incredibly wondrous, beyond description.

The Straw Cape Man frowned.

He saw through Yi Xiaofeng's state.

Enlightenment!

How was that possible!

He could achieve enlightenment just by looking at swordplay created by a twelve-year-old child?

The Straw Cape Man was stunned.

Even as the Sword Saint, he had never seen such a scene.

Enlightenment was not mere dazed staring. It was a resonance of the soul. Any swordplay capable of inducing enlightenment was surely extraordinary.

The Matchstick Swordplay could not possibly make someone attain enlightenment!

"Could it be that this child's talent for the sword is heaven-defying, while his spiritual root is merely mediocre?" the Straw Cape Man thought silently.

He suddenly recalled an earlier experience in Pure Yang City, and the way he looked at Yi Xiaofeng instantly changed.

As time passed, the viewers also sensed that something was off.

Yi Xiaofeng looked as though he were speechless or stupid...

This was a lot like when a protagonist in a television drama encountered the inheritance of a divine art and entered a state of enlightenment.

Could it be...

The Straw Cape Man rose and walked before Yi Xiaofeng.

He extended his right hand and pressed two fingers against Yi Xiaofeng's forehead.

Boom—

A powerful aura erupted. Yi Xiaofeng's robe fluttered in the wind, while his eyes remained fixed on the sword manual in his hands.

The pages inside automatically flipped to the next one. If one looked closely into Yi Xiaofeng's eyes, they would see a figure wielding a sword within them.

The Straw Cape Man noticed this sight and could not help narrowing his eyes.

"So that's it. This is not a blank book, but one concealing a mystery. I never comprehended it, yet this kid obtained its opportunity with a single glance. Perhaps this is fate," Bai Hongxiao thought silently.

The look in his eyes as he watched Yi Xiaofeng grew even more profound.

The Barrage surged:

"Damn, is he passing down his cultivation?"

"Yi Xiaofeng is insane! That luck is absolutely like cheating!"

"As a fan from Yi Xiaofeng's support club, I can't take this anymore. This is fucking unscientific!"

"Other contestants are risking their lives searching for clues, while he's just lying there getting his cultivation passed down to him..."

"You all think Yi Xiaofeng is on the first level while you're on the second, but he's actually on the fifth. It may look like luck, but that luck is connected to every choice he made. When Wang Yanran was in danger, he chose to turn back and save her. This is already the Sword Saint's second test, and each of Yi Xiaofeng's answers has made the Sword Saint's eyes light up."

"The guy above, keep blowing that hot air. You're saying this with an ID like 'Child of Destiny Yi Xiaofeng'—aren't you ashamed, Mr. Know-It-All?"

The number of viewers in Yi Xiaofeng's livestream began to soar. News of him receiving the Sword Saint's inheritance spread swiftly, attracting countless passersby and viewers from other livestreams.

Many people were curious whether Yi Xiaofeng was truly receiving the Sword Saint's impartation.

Who knew how much time passed.

Yi Xiaofeng finally awoke from that wondrous state of enlightenment.

His entire body jolted, and the sword manual in his hand nearly fell to the ground.

The Straw Cape Man had already returned to the millstone and was quietly watching him.

As Yi Xiaofeng regained full awareness, he suddenly felt different.

His body brimmed with strength, and the spiritual energy within him had greatly increased.

No!

It had increased severalfold!

More than tenfold, even!

What was going on?

Yi Xiaofeng was overjoyed. Even the hand clutching the Matchstick Swordplay was trembling.

A massive flood of memories had appeared in his mind.

The Matchstick Swordplay!

"This swordplay is this powerful? It directly let me comprehend it and even increased my spiritual energy?"

Overwhelmed by immense joy, Yi Xiaofeng felt as though he were in a dream.

He looked at the Straw Cape Man, seemingly realizing something, and cautiously asked, "Senior, could it be that you..."

The Straw Cape Man calmly replied, "I brought this sword manual out of a secret realm. Like the Broken Bowl you saw before, it is no ordinary object. Your cultivation is too low, so it is difficult for you to unleash its power. Thus, I lent you a hand. You now possess the cultivation of the Qi Refining Realm Fifth Layer. With this swordplay, you will be able to protect yourself within Zhuo Ye Fortress."

As expected!

Yi Xiaofeng took a deep breath, clasped his hands, and bowed deeply to the Straw Cape Man.

"Draw your sword and spar with me." The Straw Cape Man raised a hand as he spoke.

Hearing this, Yi Xiaofeng did not stand on ceremony and directly drew the Azure Nose Sword.

He did not attack immediately, instead closing his eyes to recall what he had learned.

This swordplay had three forms in total.

The first form contained countless transformations, as if it could block every offensive move.

The second form was unpredictable and mysterious, breaking the enemy with a single point.

The third form was a state of mind, becoming one with the sword.

Yi Xiaofeng opened his eyes and charged forward with his sword.

He first stepped out with his right foot, then lunged forward. His body glided ahead on momentum, moving even faster than if he were running.

The Straw Cape Man raised his right hand and brought his index and middle fingers together, using them as a sword. Sword qi flowed from his fingertips, forming a blade as he exchanged moves with Yi Xiaofeng.
