Ye Lin quickly accepted this sword technique. After all, among the Nine Swords, which one was ordinary?
"Since that's the case, I'll call you Sword Eight—Eight-Direction Sword Assault."
Ye Lin murmured. Now that the technique had its own name—Eight-Direction Sword Assault—the name suited its characteristics perfectly.
Ye Lin had also already planned the order of his moves for the future. Before engaging an enemy, he would first use Sword Eight to suppress their momentum. The battle that followed could then be won with ease.
And now, Ye Lin thought of Lin Ping. Although Lin Ping did not look like much as a person, the stronger his cultivation was...
That move Lin Ping had used back then—even Ye Lin now would be completely unable to withstand it. The prodigies of the first tier truly possessed fame equal to their strength.
If he were to face Lin Ping now, he would not be Lin Ping's match. But if it were a battle to the death, that might not necessarily be the case.
A battle to the death meant he could use the Unrivaled Sacred Body and the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Art. With those two aiding him, who would die would still be unknown.
Of course, Lin Ping had corresponding trump cards as well, so Ye Lin still had plenty of room to improve.
"No wonder those prodigies from the transcendent powers all said my strength lies between the second and first tiers—stronger than the second-tier prodigies, yet weaker than those of the first tier."
"Just as expected: lacking when compared upward, yet more than sufficient when compared downward."
After pondering for a moment, Ye Lin shook his head and stopped thinking about it. Now, he needed to make plans to step down and no longer serve as the Sect Master of Nameless Mountain.
