"The Bloody Sword Attack!"

A red arc of light swept through the forest and instantly decapitated the three-meter-high ape's head without warning it.

«Your understanding with Bloody Sword Strike has reached a new level»

«Level Mastery of Bloody Sword Attack (1) †’ (2)»

«Bloody Sword Attacks»

«Rank: Bumi»

«Precession Rate: 2»

«Description: Consuming 90,000 Qi. Must use a sword to activate. Techniques from the Blood Sect.»

When Yuan noticed how his Qi consumption had increased a hundredfold with an increase of one level of mastery, his jaw fell in shock. Didn't his Heaven Splitting Sword Strike require a million Qi to be activated at mastery level 2 at this level?

"Daoist Dean Yuan was truly ... incomprehensible ..." Mo Zhou trembled in shock as he watched Yuan kill a high-level monster with ease, and all in one strike. “Even that high-level Apprentice Spirit Bull Monkey was killed in one attack ”

Ever since they met and decided to visit the Flying Sword Sect, Yuan would hunt down every monster in their path, gathering a few more monster cores.

"Eleven so far, yes ..." Yuan counted the number of monster cores he had obtained, and the bundle of monster cores gleaming in Yuan's grasp left Mo Zhou dumbfounded to the point, who thought he was at the auction house.

"So many monster cores!"

Mo Zhou exclaimed loudly. Monster cores are all valuable resources that greatly help cultivators with their cultivation, and they are highly desired by cultivators of all levels. And since they could only be obtained through high-level monsters, they were considered rare and difficult to obtain. But now before his eyes, there were a dozen of them all gathered in one palm.

“You think this is a lot? It wouldn't even fill the gap between my teeth if I ate everything” Yuan sighed.

"What?"

Mo Zhou was unable to understand the meaning behind his words, but he had a premonition that he would regret it if he found out, so he decided to ignore it.

–

“We've met a lot of high-level monsters, right? It was already the sixth ..." Mo Zhou pondered as another high-level monster fell to the ground with its head detached from its neck.

"You really like beheading …"

“Again, it's efficient and easy.” Yuan smile casually: “Cih. No monster core from this one”

“Easy, yes ”

Mo Zhou inwardly compared Yuan to the Chosen One in his sect. Would they be able to say such bold words casually? Would they also be able to decapitate high-level monsters so easily? Most likely not.

A thought suddenly appeared in Mo Zhou's head: ‘Because he is a rogue cultivator .. There is a chance I can tie him up to join our Flying Sword Sect ..?’

If the Flying Sword Sect received a genius like him into their ranks, they would definitely be very happy. Damn, they might even consider him a candidate as the future Sect Leader!

"Say, Daoist Yuan .. have you ever considered joining the Sect?" he decided to ask her.

Yuan thought about it for a moment and shook his head: "I don't know of this existence called ‘Sekte’ to this day, so no, I never thought of it."

“Then are you interested in joining the Straddled Sword Sect? I'm sure the Sect will welcome you with wide hands.”

“”

While Yuan pondered, Xiao Hua decided to open his mouth and spoke: “Brother Yuan, you do not need to join the Sect; it will only hinder your growth. Xiao Hua believed that Brother Yuan would grow stronger faster when together with Xiao Hua as a rogue cultivator.”

Mo Zhou's mouth gaped upon hearing Xiao Hua's words. Since he was silent, he did not pay much attention to it. He wondered about their relationship.

"If I ever join the Sect, it's just for fun" Yuan said. "However, it's too early for me to join any Sect, so I have to reject that offer for now."

"Is that so"

While Mo Zhou was desperate because Yuan rejected his offer, he understood that there was still hope for him to join the Flying Sword Sect in the future. “Then, if you want to join the sect, please come to my Straddled Sword Sect.”

“I'll remember it.”

–

After walking for a few more hours, the group finally arrived at a vast valley surrounded by high mountains.

"This is the Flying Sword Sect?" Yuan was blown away by the sight of a thousand swords floating in the air above the valley, looking as if there was a roof made of swords covering the place.

“That is the Thousand Sword Formation; it is a Heaven ranked battle formation. If activated, they would all attack at once, like a rain of arrows. In fact, it has been more than 100 years since it was last activated. ” Mo Zhou wanted to leave a deep impression on Yuan with the strength of the Sect, hoping that it would increase the chances of him joining the Sect.

Mo Zhou's words and the incredible sight did indeed leave a deep impression within Yuan, who had never seen anything like this before. As for Xiao Hua, he only glanced at her for a moment before throwing his face away.

"Please wait here for a while while I go asking permission to give you a tour as a guest."

“Un.” Yuan nodded and waited outside for him.

"A rogue genius cultivator, you say?" An old man sat on his beautiful wooden chair, his gaze like that of a young man standing in front of him.

“That's right, Elder Jiang. He managed to kill a high-tier Fire Lizard with a single sword attack, even piercing its steel-like scales known for its impregnable defense!” Mo Zhou shared his experience with Yuan to the old man in front of him.

The old man was Elder Jiang, a sect elder from the Flying Sword Sect, who was also in charge of the administration of the sect.

"If this young man is really as good as you praise him, then I'd like to meet him myself." Elder Jiang stood up and walked towards the door. "What are you waiting for? Let's go."

"Yes!"

Mo Zhou led Elder Jiang out of the sect where Yuan and Xiao Hua waited patiently.

“Mean Daoist Yuan! Thank you for waiting for umm”

“Hmm Ninth Level Spirit Apprentice how old are you, young man?” Elder Jiang could tell the Yuan cultivation base with a single glance.

"You seem to be the same age as Mo Zhou ... not bad for a rogue cultivator cultivating without proper guidance." He nodded with agreement.

"You?"

"This is Elder Jiang, he is in charge of the sect administration for the Outer Court disciples." Mo Zhou introduced Elder Jiang to Yuan.

"I understand. Nice to meet you, Elder Jiang. ”

Elder Jiang gently brushed his white beard and said, “I'll get straight to the point, do you want to join my Flying Sword Sect as a disciple? The sect provided countless benefits and resources to its disciples to help them grow. If you join, then your cultivation base will definitely increase faster than before. Perhaps you might even qualify to become a District Court disciple one day. ”

"The Inner Court Disciples?" Yuan wondered if the Inner Court disciples meant to be like upperclassmen.

"You"

Elder Jiang frowned and looked at Mo Zhou.

"Older Jiang, you know ... Daoist Yuan was actually never aware of the existence of the sect until today, therefore why he wanted to visit our Flying Sword Sect …" Mo Zhou explained to him with a bitter smile.

"What's? How is that possible?” Elder Jiang doubted his words, but even an idiot could give a better reason.

Elder Jiang looked at Yuan again, and he sighed. "Anything. I don't care about your situation. Healthy? What answers? I'll accept you as an Outer Court disciple at this time if you wish. ”

Mo Zhou saw the opportunity and urged Yuan. “Daois Yuan, you are really lucky! Under normal circumstances, one would have to pass the entrance examination before they were accepted into the sect as disciples. However, Elder Jiang here has the authority to accept you into the sect without that hassle! This was a once in a lifetime opportunity that made anyone willing to die! ” he said with great enthusiasm.

“” Yuan was silent for a moment.

However, despite the tempting offer, Yuan still shook his head. "Although I appreciate the friendly offer, I must refuse …"

"Why?!" exclaim Mo Zhou. How could anyone let such an opportunity go to waste? This could be his ticket to become an Inner Court disciple of a big sect like the Flying Sword Sect – a chance for any Outer Court disciple like Mo Zhou to die!

“As I have already said I am not ready to join any faction. I am waiting for someone, and until he arrives, I will not make any big decisions, ” Yuan said.

Xiao Hua glanced at Yuan when he mentioned that he was waiting for someone. Who is this guy?

“”

“”

“Alright” Elder Jiang said with his eyes closed, “If it is your decision then so be it. But ... Don't come back one day and ask for my generosity again because you've lost it once.

Mo Zhou sighed. All his efforts were in vain in such a short time. Perhaps the reason Elder Jiang did not make any real effort to pursue Yuan was because he still did not fully believe his words – that Yuan was a miracle that even Palace disciples might not be able to match Deep.

"Umm ... about the tour .. am I still allowed to see your sect?" Yuan asked with a sly expression; he still wanted to look inside even after everything he said.

Mo Zhou looked at Elder Jiang with the corner of his eyes, waiting for his answer.

Elder Jiang coldly snorted and said, "Let him see what he's missing."

He walked away afterwards.

“”

Yuan speechless. Refusing Elder Jiang's offer must have offended him.

Mo Zhou sighed again and said with an apologetic expression, “Don't worry too much about him, Daoist Yuan. It was my fault to begin with. If I had not spoken so highly of you in front of Elder Jiang with the intention to recruit you then this would never have happened.”

Yuan brushed it off and said, “I don't mind. After all, he's just a grumpy old man.”

"Parent G-Grumpy ... Daoist Yuan .. please never let him hear you say that in front of him or he will definitely kill you.." Mo Zhou, with a terrified expression, said, turned around to see if Elder Jiang or not had heard Yuan. When he could not see Elder Jiang's figure, Mo Zhou heaved a sigh of relief.

“Forget him and let's get in fast. I've been itching to see the inside since seeing the Thousand Sword Formation! ” Yuan said in an urgent tone.

Mo Zhou smiled bitterly and said, "Alright .. follow me.." He turned around and led the two in, where the disciples looked busy.

“Wow they all carried swords” Yuan's eyes flickered in joy. He couldn't be more excited at the moment. In his eyes, this place was simply begging for him to explore!
