Sasuke's Swordsmanship Idol

Sasuke's Swordsmanship Idol

Although the jars themselves were nothing special, the sheer number of them—more than two hundred—and the special meaning they carried made the sight extraordinarily shocking.

Sasuke's breathing grew heavier.

However, he did not start opening the jars.

Instead, he continued looking at Shen Mo.

"What about the Level 2 Chests? You said that everything found in Level 1 Chests could also be found in Level 2 Chests, only stronger and more abundant, right?" Sasuke's tone was somewhat hurried.

"That is indeed the case."

Seeing Sasuke's impatience, Shen Mo smiled and waved his hand again.

This time, there were three hundred and eighty Level 2 Chests, each several times larger than the previous ones.

Sasuke could not hold back any longer.

He reached out and tried to open one, but just as his hand was about to touch it, he suddenly slowed down. He could feel his heart pounding.

What will come out?

Although he had already gained a preliminary understanding of the jars' wonders from the Food Aura jars, the scenes that had just flashed through his mind made him realize that he still knew far too little about the jars sold by this mysterious man. He had no idea what might appear in the Swordsmanship Series jars, either.

Nervousness mixed with anticipation.

Sasuke finally opened one.

Inside was a ball of light.

"Looks like your luck is pretty good." Shen Mo's voice rang out at just the right moment.

His luck was indeed good. Shen Mo had placed quite a few things in these jars, and Sasuke had obtained something worthwhile from his very first one.

"Experience Aura?"

Sasuke remembered the miraculous Food Aura from before and could not help feeling excited.

Using it was equivalent to undergoing a lengthy period of training.

This was a genuine increase in strength!

If there were enough Experience Auras, even someone of ordinary talent could rapidly grow stronger.

"No, it isn't an Experience Aura." Shen Mo smiled and shook his head, denying it. He then explained, "It's an Inheritance Aura. It contains a refined sword technique. Once absorbed, you can learn it automatically. However, to use it proficiently, or even achieve anything with it, you'll still need to practice diligently."

This was indeed a good item.

After hearing this, Sasuke eagerly reached out to touch it.

He already knew how to use this kind of aura.

In an instant, the aura surged into his body. He saw a long-bearded man in strange clothing wielding a double-edged Sharp Sword and dancing atop a mountain peak.

Every movement possessed the strength of a pine and the swiftness of the wind.

The exquisite sword forms concealed murderous intent.

Its name was the First Four Forms of Songfeng Swordplay.

It was a secret art of the Qingcheng Sect.

That's right, it was the same Qingcheng Sect from The Smiling, Proud Wanderer. Although its power level was not high and it was not particularly famous, its refinement was by no means inferior. In terms of value alone, just four of its twelve forms were worth six thousand seven hundred Trading Points.

One only had to look at Sasuke's expression to know.

He was entranced and astonished.

"Sword techniques can actually be this profound and wondrous." He clenched his fist tightly, as though he had opened the door to a whole new world.

The Ninja World was not without sword techniques. As a weapon commonly used by ninjas, it also had basic methods for teaching the use of blades and swords.

However.

When they used swords, they pursued faster and more efficient ways to kill their enemies.

The sword techniques of the strong were all experiences accumulated through slaughter on the battlefield.

There were basically no sword arts like this, passed down as inheritances and continuously refined from generation to generation.

It works!

Sasuke looked excitedly at his hands. Although this was only the first jar, he had truly felt the changes in himself.

"This inheritance has another advantage." Shen Mo could tell that Sasuke was extremely satisfied with the first jar, so he added while the iron was hot, "If you obtain the same inheritance later, it won't be a waste. Accepting the inheritance again will help deepen your understanding and raise your mastery."

There was a reason he said this.

Naturally, some of the remaining jars contained the same aura.

Not many.

Two contained the First Four Forms, three contained the Middle Four Forms, and of course, he had kindly completed the final four forms as well. After all, there was still the strongest one in the jars.

That item had been placed inside as the grand prize.

"Let's continue."

After opening the first jar, Sasuke could no longer suppress his excitement and hurriedly opened the second.

Inside was one hundred thousand in cash.

Sasuke's expression instantly went blank. He looked at Shen Mo, seemingly hoping that Shen Mo would tell him there was something special about the cash.

"Haha." Shen Mo could not hold back his laughter. He spread both hands. "There are always things like this. It can't be helped. But don't worry, there basically won't be anything worse than one hundred thousand in cash."

That was the truth.

Shen Mo had merely placed three or four of them inside according to the principle that where there was great luck, there would also be bad luck. He had not expected the bad luck to arrive so soon.

Sasuke: (′д｀)... sigh... sigh

Although he had obtained something undesirable, this was only the second jar. Moreover, when Sasuke looked at the cash in his hand, he did not toss it aside. Instead, he carefully set it down.

After all, he could use it to buy more jars.

The third, the fourth, the fifth...

Sasuke opened one jar after another.

Naturally, all kinds of miraculous items appeared inside.

Shen Mo had placed all sorts of sword-related items in the Swordsmanship Series jars: Experience Auras for sword training, Inheritance Auras containing various sword techniques, abilities that strengthened the body, rare ores for forging swords, Sharp Swords themselves, and training methods and battle scenes from powerful swordsmen.

Sasuke's expression grew more and more excited.

Even the gloomy feeling from before seemed to have faded considerably.

The sensation of growing stronger continuously.

It was simply intoxicating!

His spirit remained in a heightened state, growing increasingly feverish.

Especially when, in the one hundred and twenty-second jar, he opened a battle scene featuring Ximen Chuixue.

It was even the high-martial version.

Although he did not truly grasp the wonder of the swordsmanship, that unique bearing—never smiling, treating the sword as his life, and taking lives in the blink of an eye—made him tremble with excitement and filled his heart with yearning.

"Ruthless Sword God, Ximen Chuixue."

Sasuke murmured those words. He even could not help imitating Ximen Chuixue and adopting a sword-gripping stance.

"No one can see my sword, because everyone who does has already died." He spoke in a low, icy voice.

Shen Mo watched from the side.

He was almost unable to hold back his laughter.

He had nearly forgotten that Sasuke was at an age when it was easy to become obsessed with this sort of thing. There was nothing he could do about Sasuke becoming captivated by a Sword God with such an idol-like aura as Ximen Chuixue.

Come to think of it, he himself had once liked this character very much.

"Ximen Chuixue, huh?"

Shen Mo sighed with a hint of reminiscence in his voice.

"Do you know him?"

Sasuke's eyes widened, and he looked at Shen Mo expectantly. He even unconsciously addressed him respectfully.

He looked exactly like a little fangirl hearing news about her idol.

"I suppose you could say I know him." Shen Mo smiled. "Don't be fooled by his cold and solitary appearance. He actually has friends, a wife, and children. Surprisingly, he is quite a proud but decent man."

"How could that be—" Sasuke could not help shouting.

He seemed unwilling to believe it. That was clearly a man who had devoted everything to the sword and pursued greater strength.
