Watching this brat show off, Ye Tian felt a little annoyed.
What are you so smug about? With my Max-Level Sword Dao Mode, I can learn it at a glance!
Your sword technique is pretty good. One second from now, it'll be mine!
I'll steal it while no one's watching!
With that thought, Ye Tian slowly closed his big, glistening eyes as countless images flashed through his mind.
It actually felt like watching a replay. Jian Wushuang's sword technique played rapidly through his mind, and even the circulation of spiritual energy within his body was perfectly reproduced.
His chubby little hands reached out and began waving.
But... he was only a baby. Everyone thought he was hungry and wanted milk.
Even Ye Linglong thought so and prepared to fetch a bottle to feed Ye Tian.
However... Ye Sword God noticed something amiss. His eyes flashed, and he immediately stopped Ye Linglong.
"Wait. The young master isn't hungry."
"He, he, he's actually learning the sword technique!"
At those words, not only Ye Linglong but also Jian Wushuang, Jian Jiufeng, and Li Tianyun stared dumbfounded, their jaws nearly hitting the floor.
"What?! My little brother is practicing a sword technique!"
"No! Impossible! He's still just a baby!"
"He doesn't have a trace of spiritual energy in his body and can't even use the most basic Divine Ability. How could he attempt a sword technique?"
Ye Linglong felt as though she had stepped into a dream, as though this world wasn't real.
A baby being able to refine pills was one thing. That could only be attributed to talent unmatched throughout the ages.
But practicing a Peerless Sword Technique without any cultivation?
That was utterly absurd, impossible to believe!
"This... how is this possible?"
"Is this sword technique the Three Swords of the End of the World?"
At that moment, even Jian Jiufeng and Li Tianyun noticed something was wrong.
The sword technique this baby was performing was exactly the same as Jian Wushuang's.
But... hadn't Jian Wushuang created that technique himself?
Ye Sword God's expression remained calm, his composure unshaken, but deep in his eyes, he couldn't suppress a flicker of astonishment.
The Three Swords of the End of the World was indeed Jian Wushuang's own creation. No one else had learned it.
Yet... Ye Tian was performing it with practiced ease, capturing both its form and spirit.
One had to remember that Ye Tian had only watched it once, briefly.
He didn't even know its underlying principles!
One glance, and he had learned it?
How was that possible? It was simply unbelievable.
Mastering a Peerless Sword Technique at a glance was something even Ye Sword God could never accomplish.
A baby born only a few days ago actually possessed such Sword Dao aptitude. It was enough to shock the world.
If this really is true...
Then without a doubt, he's the rising star of our Sword Dao!
Bzzzz!
In an instant, the air split, the void trembled, and space itself warped.
Sword light shot in every direction, illuminating the world. A streak of ultimate radiance cleaved the empty space around Ye Tian in two, as though dividing yin from yang.
Although it lasted only the briefest instant, it still stunned everyone.
He... was only a baby!
He was truly a monstrous prodigy unseen through countless ages!
Even Ye Sword God, hailed as the foremost swordsman of the younger generation, paled in comparison.
"My, my Three Swords of the End of the World! He learned it just like that?"
Jian Wushuang's eyes dimmed. He let out a long breath, his spirits collapsing in an instant.
He... had previously refused to accept Ye Sword God's title as the foremost swordsman of the younger generation, believing he could surpass him.
He had also been supremely confident in his self-created Three Swords of the End of the World.
He had never imagined that after he performed it just once, a baby would learn it.
"Fellow Daoist Wushuang, this sword technique of yours still isn't good enough!"
"A baby learned it after a single glance. Tsk, tsk, tsk."
Ye Sword God's words held no mockery, but to Jian Wushuang's ears, they were painfully grating.
Fortunately, Jian Wushuang's dao heart was firm. So what if someone had learned his self-created sword technique at a glance?
At worst, he would create another peerless sword technique.
Had it been an ordinary prodigy, their dao heart might have shattered, leaving a hidden peril on their path of cultivation.
"Hahaha! Who would have thought the Divine Emperor's son possessed such formidable sword dao aptitude!"
"A brilliant new star is rising in the Sword Dao of our Eternal Immortal Domain!"
At the sight, Li Tianyun and Jian Jiufeng laughed, cupping their hands as they spoke with utmost respect.
They weren't narrow-minded men, either.
They were delighted to witness such a peerless Sword Dao prodigy.
Meanwhile, Ye Linglong stood bewildered in the wind, her hair fluttering and countless thoughts racing through her mind.
Wait, doesn't my little brother have mediocre aptitude and no special physique?
Then why... can he casually roll out Heaven-Grade Pills that have Return to the Origin?
And when it comes to the Sword Dao, how can he master a Peerless Sword Technique at a glance?
What's more, he's still only a baby.
Is this something a baby with mediocre aptitude could do?!
Even the top prodigies who had long since made their names could hardly glimpse his back.
She was beginning to doubt the truth of the Divine Emperor's and the Holy Lord's words.
No, my little brother might actually be a peerless prodigy.
But to keep this peerless prodigy safe, to prevent schemes and dangers from threatening him as he grows, they've deliberately passed him off as someone with ordinary aptitude.
Ye Linglong thought to herself, sorting through countless possibilities with her vivid imagination.
Had Ye Tian known what she was thinking, he would have exclaimed in shock, Cousin, it's a waste that you aren't a screenwriter.
Only then did Ye Tian awaken from that profound, mysterious state.
The moment he woke, he realized what had just happened!
Holy shit, this is Max-Level Sword Dao Mode?
Why did it cause such a huge commotion? I'm screwed!
Ye Tian was utterly miserable now, wishing he could wash his face with tears.
A crowd had surrounded him to watch, as though he were a monkey in a zoo.
You damned system, would it kill you not to show off?
I only wanted to learn it in secret! In secret, understand?! The moment this mode activates, the whole world knows. How the hell am I supposed to learn anything secretly now?!
It's over! My older brother's going to drag me off to practice swordsmanship from now on!!!
Ye Tian cursed inwardly, wanting to cry but finding no tears.
He had drawn far too much attention. These Sword Dao prodigies gazed at him as though he were a beauty emerging from a bath, eager to slice him up for study.
"Sword God, you must nurture the Divine Emperor's son well!"
"This child's Sword Dao talent is unmatched throughout history, unique across all ages. It's simply too formidable."
"Once he grows up, he'll surely become a Sword Emperor for the ages!"
Jian Wushuang, Jian Jiufeng, and Li Tianyun gazed at Ye Tian with burning eyes, looking him over with care as though he were a priceless treasure.
Ye Linglong thought that if they knew about Ye Tian's peerless talent in pill refining, their jaws would probably drop.
"Haha, of course! The young master's Sword Dao talent far surpasses mine!"
"The Sword God Physique falls far short of him. It isn't even worthy of carrying his shoes!"
Ye Sword God's mouth stretched into a dazzling grin, nearly reaching his ears.
He had only come to pay this younger cousin a visit.
Yet he had unexpectedly discovered a world-shaking Sword Dao genius. This trip had yielded quite a harvest!
It seemed his position as the foremost swordsman of the younger generation would soon pass to someone else.
But he felt no reluctance whatsoever. In fact, he was overjoyed.
The Divine Emperor's son was extraordinary indeed!
"The Divine Emperor's son's sword dao talent shakes the ancient past and dazzles the present. Without a doubt, he's the perfect young talent to learn the supreme sword dao under me, with my Sword God Physique!"
Watching this scene, Ye Linglong was speechless.
She vaguely remembered that Ye Dan had also wanted to take this brat under his wing to cultivate the Alchemy Great Dao.
A baby born only a few days ago had surpassed two peerless prodigies in talent, one after another.
This... this is what they fucking call mediocre aptitude!
