On his way to the Azure Dragon Country, Ye Xiao not only killed magical beasts and devoured them, but he also found many treasures of heaven and earth, many spiritual herbs as well as many spiritual fruits.
He purified some pills for himself. He increased his strength not only by devouring magical beasts but also swallowing many spiritual pills and fruits to increase his strength.
After a long time, he had finally achieved the strength that Grandmaster Wang needed for him.
He was now a martial artist at the Ninth Peak Stage of the Origin Core Realm.
In just one month, he increased his cultivation by four stages. It was quite difficult to achieve this but still, somehow, Ye Xiao managed to do it.
When he left the Azure Dragon Country and entered the Cloud Smoke Forest, at that moment he thought that not only could he achieve the necessary strength set by his master, Grandmaster Wang, he was able to achieve, but he can also make a breakthrough to the Martial King Realm. He could break through to the Martial King Realm if his strength would not suffer a setback to the First Stage of the Origin Core Realm of the Fourth Stage of the Origin Core Realm.
Knock it! Knock it!
Ye Xiao arrived in front of the room where his master was.
“Log.” An old voice sounded.
“Splitting!”
Ye Xiao pushed the door and with a sound of ‘picit’, the door opened. He went inside and saw his master was refining pills so that he did not disturb him and waited in silence.
Grandmaster Wang also did not see who it was. He continued refining the pills because he was unable to distract him at the moment. If he did, there was a high chance that the pill potion would fail and the cauldron would explode.
About an hour later, Grandmaster Wang was finally finished with his alchemy. After putting the pill into the pill bottle, he turned to look at the person who came into this room an hour ago.
“Ye Xiao? You're back!” Grandmaster Wang smiled as he looked at his disciple who was waiting for him.
“Mastered!” Ye Xiao greeted him.
“Hmm! The Ninth Peak Stage of the Origin Core Realm. You really surprised me. In just four months, your strength increased from the Seventh Stage of the Qi Condensation Realm to the Ninth Peak Stage of the Origin Core Realm. Even in the Upper Realm, there were very few people who could achieve this!”
Grandmaster Wang nodded his head as he examined Ye Xiao's cultivation.
“Upper Nature?”
Ye Xiao looked at his master in confusion. ‘Alam Atas’ is a term he has never heard before.
“Eh! You are still too weak. When you will become at least a Ninth Stage Martial Emperor Realm martial artist, I will tell you about the Upper Realm.” Grandmaster Wang realized that he mispronounced something that he should not have said. He did not explain anything to Ye Xiao, instead telling him to increase his strength.
“OK! Umm, sir, when will I talk to the King and Sect Leader of the Five Great Sects about giving me a place to enter the Secret Realm?”
“I've spoken to them.
They give terms.”
“A condition?”
“Win a fight against one of fourteen candidates?” Ye Xiao muttered slowly then raised his head and said, “Master, I'm ready.”
Grandmaster Wang stroked his beard with his right hand then he laughed and said, “Alright, we will go there tomorrow. Tomorrow was the day when the five great sects and the Imperial Family would compete with each other for a place. You do not have to participate in this competition. You just need to fight against one of the fourteen shortlisted candidates and win against him.”
“I will, sir.” Ye Xiao said confidently. He took out his sword, looked at it, and said, “Master, I will go to the Treasure Pavilion. I have to find a sword technique otherwise, a High Rank Spirit sword like this would be useless. “
“Ahm!, from your last fight in the competition, I found one of your biggest problems, which is whether you found that actually the sword is not suitable for you.” Grandmaster Wang looked at Ye Xiao and said the problem found.
“What?” Ye Xiao looked at his master with a puzzled look.
“I wanted to tell you this at the time I told you about the Secret Realm discovered by the Grand Xia Empire but I forgot to tell you. You should not use the sword as your primary weapon. You must change to another weapon.”
“Ah? Sir, ever since I was a child, I wanted to become a swordsman. I want to use the sword and adventure in this world. How could that sword not be suitable for me?
Ye Xiao was slightly surprised to hear the words spoken by his master, Grandmaster Wang. Although he knew that what he said might not be wrong since Grandmaster Wang was his master and was much more experienced than him, but subconsciously, Ye Xiao was still unwilling to give up his sword.
“Haha, I know your thoughts. You have different fantasies about swords. But in fact, in my opinion, you are not destined to be with the sword.” Grandmaster Wang paused for a moment to stare at Ye Xiao and continued, “You mostly use swords to stab straight or slash directly. That's not flexible at all. You can find your own reasons that you never learned sword arts. But I can tell you the truth, I have seen the world and can at a glance find out if someone is suitable to use a weapon.”
“If you think about it carefully, when you fight someone, do you take the sword in your hand as a kind of spear, and you always stab it back and forth?”
Hearing the struggle in Ye Xiao's words, Grandmaster Wang laughed and said with a smile.
“Well, it looks like it's true. But sir, since you think I'm no match for a sword, then what weapon should I use?”
After careful consideration, Ye Xiao also discovered that what his master said was indeed something that left him with no reason to refute. Although he liked swords, but for some reason, during battle, all the movements he thought in his mind to execute with a sword could not play any role. he simply took out a sword like a spear and stabbed it, and slashed at it randomly. He had absolutely no rhythm with the sword.
In general, many people like to be prejudiced, especially when they see others using certain weapons freely and easily. But in reality, many people do not consider whether they are suitable or not. “
“For example, for someone like you, a sword is just a kind of obsession. As you said, since childhood, you wanted to use the sword as your weapon. As time goes by, this desire of yours becomes a kind of obsession.”
“Which type of weapon should you use. I think you should choose a spear as your weapon, after all, subconsciously, you pierced with your sword as if it was a spear. You should use a spear and practice with it. If a spear suits you, you will soon be able to do many things with it that you cannot do with a sword.”
“Yes, Lin Hao, that brat is more suitable for swords. It was as if he was born to wield a sword. He even reached the second stage of the Way of the Sword at such a young age.”
Grandmaster Wang explained in detail what Ye Xiao should use as his weapon. He also revealed some current news about Lin Hao to Ye Xiao.
“What? Second Stage of the Way of the Sword?”
“Didn't he just reach the First Stage of the Way of the Sword, the Light of the Sword? And by the way, sir, what is the second stage of the Sword Path?” Ye Xiao was asked in surprise. Lin Hao's strength increased rapidly for a reason. He was curious about Lin Hao but did not feel jealous of him.
After all, why should he feel jealous towards Lin Hao. He had a heaven-defying treasure like a Heavenly Pearl.
“Hehe, that was before. But now, Lin Hao had made great progress towards the Way of the Sword and comprehended the Second Stage of the Way of the Sword, Sword Intent.”
Grandmaster Wang laughed and explained as he stroked his long white beard.
