Chapter 367: Chapter 367
In his original words: "In this era, my name can be remembered in your hearts because I am a strong person of this era. But after several hundred years, how many people will remember me?"
"I want future people to all remember me. The simplest way is to leave behind the sword arts I created, let them all learn my sword arts, let all sword practitioners remember me!!"
Undoubtedly, he succeeded. Even after so many years have passed, anyone who practices swordsmanship knows his name, because regardless of whether they cultivate his sword arts or not, they will have seen it and know of the existence of these Supreme Sword Arts.
Because there are too many people cultivating these Supreme Sword Arts!!
Basically no one has successfully mastered them completely. The highest record was someone who successfully cultivated twenty moves. That person also became a legend of an era, but he didn't influence people today like the creator of the Supreme Sword Arts did, because he didn't leave behind his own legacy.
Theoretically, someone who learned this sword art would have mastered about ninety percent of the sword arts in this land. This was exactly what Xiaoyao most wanted to see - he only needed to study this one set of sword arts.
However, up until now, Xiaoyao had never seen this sword art. He had been here for too short a time and hadn't heard of these sword arts yet. If he had been here longer, he would definitely know about them.
If he had known about them, he wouldn't waste time with this young master. It would be better to directly study that sword art manual - he was confident he could obtain a copy.
It wasn't that Xiaoyao didn't want to know about this sword art immediately, but this young master obviously couldn't know all of it. He should only know three to six moves...
"Your sword arts are very good. I take back my disdain for you!" After dodging this sword strike, Xiaoyao gave a very high evaluation, and this sword move was also recorded in his mind.
This sword strike let him see many new things, though there were also many things he already understood. After all, he knew quite a few sword arts himself. Even if they were from the Divine Martial Continent, ultimately many principles were the same.
It must be a coincidence, a coincidence!
At this moment, the young master wasn't thinking about Xiaoyao's disdain, but was thinking that Xiaoyao's ability to dodge again was a coincidence - a very rare coincidence!
He was a dignified Emperor Level martial artist, while the opponent looked like just a General Level practitioner. How could he possibly dodge his Supreme Sword Arts? This was his killing technique.
I don't believe coincidences can keep happening!!!
So the young master began using his prouder techniques, still from the Supreme Sword Arts. This was the second move he knew...
Xiaoyao continued dodging without injury. His sleeve corner seemed to maintain its original state. This time, he seemed to dodge even better than the first move.
Was this current move inferior to the previous one? Read full story at novel⦿fire.net
Obviously, this was impossible. It was just because Xiaoyao was better prepared this time, and he felt more familiar elements in this move.
Although this move was more powerful, Xiaoyao had encountered more familiar elements, so naturally it became easier. To make things more troublesome for Xiaoyao, one would need to use moves Xiaoyao had never seen before.
This depended on which move in the Supreme Sword Arts Xiaoyao was least familiar with, and whether this young master knew that move...
The young master began to waver. He felt that what was happening before his eyes was no longer a coincidence. With so many moves, how could it all be coincidence? Even with his incredibly persistent "belief," it was crumbling under these successive moves.
This kid before him might not just be a General Level martial artist. His strength was deeply hidden and not revealed!!
This was the young master's thought, and also the thought of those around him. They would never believe that someone who could dodge unharmed so many times under an Emperor Level martial artist's attacks would be a General Level martial artist.
Even King Level martial artists would find this very difficult. Even those at Late King Level and above, while they wouldn't die if they went up, would definitely get injured!!
Therefore, they believed Xiaoyao was deeply concealing his abilities and wasn't just General Level!
However, they couldn't prove this point, because from beginning to end, Xiaoyao hadn't displayed strength exceeding Mid General Level. He was just a bit faster, but this didn't have much relation to strength level.
A martial artist who specialized in speed might be faster than people several strength levels higher, so this couldn't explain much.
This was strange then. How could someone with General Level ability dodge attacks so easily under an Emperor Level martial artist's hands? This seemed somewhat incredible.
Speaking of movement techniques, they were indeed very clever, but they couldn't really explain the problem either, because they felt they could also achieve that level without any issues.
However, they believed that in such situations, they wouldn't think to act this way - it required too much judgment!
The feeling Xiaoyao gave people now was exactly this - everything was achievable, but whether one could think of it was another matter.
Watching how Xiaoyao responded to the young master's sword moves seemed to give the observers great insight, because Xiaoyao opened up many lines of thinking they had never considered. They now understood that evasion could be done this way!
While these people benefited greatly, Xiaoyao's gains were even greater. This was his first time truly encountering martial techniques from this place, especially these Supreme Sword Arts.
However, the young master was extremely frustrated. He was now like a powerful lion facing a cunning rabbit. No matter how the lion attacked, the rabbit dodged, leaving him with great strength but no way to vent it.
What made him even more frustrated was that he was just that close - just a little bit more and he could strike down Xiaoyao, but he was always just short!!
He couldn't bring himself to do this. He was an Emperor Level martial artist - to deal with a mere General Level martial artist and still need help? If word got out, where would he put his face?
The current situation had him in a difficult position. He wanted to deal with Xiaoyao alone but couldn't achieve his goal, so he could only continue!!
The young master continued attacking Xiaoyao, using all the Supreme Sword Arts moves he knew - a total of ten moves!
Wasn't that a supreme master? No, wait - under this sky, an Early Emperor Level martial artist couldn't be considered a supreme master, just hovering between first-class and super first-class masters.
Could it be that the standards for Supreme Sword Arts had changed?
No, that's not it. This is because my wisdom is different from others. Others at this stage can learn at most five moves, while I can learn ten. This is the difference between me and those called geniuses.
The above was the young master's explanation for this matter. Others couldn't refute it because he had indeed learned ten moves. It was precisely because of this that his strength could actually challenge across levels, if the opponent was an ordinary person.
This was also something he could be proud of. However, today his pride was about to be shattered. This "monstrous genius" who could challenge across levels and was incomparable was now being challenged across levels by someone else. Although he wasn't defeated, this was still a form of being surpassed.
He felt like he was being slapped in the face - naked and burning hot... And he didn't know that something even harsher was coming!!
"Eh, why do these few moves seem a bit strange..." Xiaoyao frowned slightly. "You, continue using those moves just now, the ones you just used!"
"Fine, I'll fulfill your wish!!" At this moment, the young master didn't know why Xiaoyao wanted him to continue using those moves, but he agreed without reservation, because he felt that no matter what moves he used, it would be the same - he couldn't seem to hit Xiaoyao now.
He had already used all ten moves of the Supreme Sword Arts. Other moves probably wouldn't have much effect!!
Now he could only look for opportunities to force out Xiaoyao's flaws. Those recent moves had worked quite well, so he thought he could try. Of course, he wouldn't use them all - he would occasionally use others, but initially he would follow Xiaoyao's wishes.
He wanted to launch a surprise attack, making Xiaoyao think it should be , but then have changes in the middle. This was a strategy, a display of wisdom!!
No matter where, my wisdom is incomparable to anyone!!!
However, he was soon disappointed. Xiaoyao completely didn't fall for his tricks. No matter how he changed, Xiaoyao dodged everything, still wearing an expression of "continue, I'm waiting."
This made the young master very angry. He needed to solve Xiaoyao's evasive ability, otherwise he had no chance of touching Xiaoyao. This was a difficult problem he had never thought of before, especially against a General Level martial artist. This made him feel very absurd.
He thought of some methods, but they all seemed to be seen through by Xiaoyao. However, these were just small tricks - he didn't think being seen through was anything surprising.
Now, he needed to start thinking of ideas that could definitely take down this kid, let this kid know that offending him wasn't a good thing!!
And just at this moment, he heard something he found very amusing!!
"Your sword arts have problems. You originally couldn't practice these moves. You used some methods to compensate, which is praiseworthy, but there are still some issues. You should focus more on cultivating your sword arts properly, otherwise your sword arts will have big problems!!"
Xiaoyao said kindly. He had noticed some problems with this young master's sword arts. This was a reward for being a sparring partner.
"My sword arts have problems? This is really funny. If there are problems, then prove it to me - break my sword arts!!" The young master laughed loudly. Obviously, he took Xiaoyao's kindness for nothing.
