Chapter 37 The Ugly Sword Technique
Lu Sulan arranged for Jiu Shen to stay inside one of the most luxurious guest rooms of their sect. It was even comparable to where their parents lived.
Towards this arrangement, Jiu Shen remained calm. ‘Fancy words are too much for such a shabby room. Even the waiters I had previously lived in a much better place than this.’ He thinks to himself.
“I hope you like this room, Mr. Jiu Shen. This is the best guest room in our Ice Cloud Sword Sect.” Lu Sulan said softly.
Jiu Shen looked unperturbed, but she could not say anything in this ‘best guest room’. ‘Oh well, this is just for tonight. I still prefer rooms in my store.’
“I'll be going for now, Mr. Jiu Shen. I still have to instruct the sect disciples about the swordplay.” Lu Sulan nodded his head elegantly at her. He did not mind respecting her, especially after learning that she was an Alchemy Saint. Although it was still uncertain whether his claim was genuine, his unexpected strength alone was enough for him to honor it.
“Instructing swordplay huh?” Jiu Shen muttered to himself in nostalgia.
In the Primordial God Realm, Jiu Shen was one of the top sword immortals. In fact, only one of the three heavenly emperors, the Sword God Jian Wang was stronger than him in sword techniques.
There were also countless supreme beings and supreme immortals who wanted to make him their master, but he rejected all of them.
But even after his refusal, some still chose to follow him. Occasionally, he would discuss his insights on swordsmanship with those who greatly helped them on their journey towards swordsmanship.
Jiu Shen sighed at his own thoughts and turned to look at Lu Sulan who was looking at him in a daze.
“ Sect Leader Lu, I want to see how you train the young elites of your sect. I know this sounds absurd, but I hope you don't mind.” Jiu Shen said calmly.
Lu Sulan was surprised by his request, but he did not refuse. He would only teach the disciples about the basics of swordsmanship. It wasn't their sect's secret technique, so he didn't mind it too much.
“No problem at all, Mr. Jiu Shen. Therefore, follow me to the training ground.” Lu Sulan glanced at Jiu Shen.
Jiu Shen followed behind him with distant thoughts. ‘If I had my own sect during my past life, that old fogie Lao Gou would not be able to trap me so easily inside his God Sealing Tower … Perhaps I should establish my own sect in this mortal world and foster my own elite troops.’.
Sky Emperor Lao Gou was the one who sealed Jiu Shen inside the God Sealing Tower.
Sky Emperor Lao Gou learns that his second wife will secretly come out of her residence to join the other supreme beings whenever Jiu Shen will discuss his insights in swordsmanship. Then, he even heard his second wife slowly falling in love with Jiu Shen.
Jiu Shen fought against over several dozen thousand supreme beings and was able to escape despite being severely injured.
Having no choice, Heavenly Emperor Lao Gou personally took action and fought Jiu Shen for over seven days. He then sealed it inside his God Sealing Tower …
Back to the story…
Not long after, they arrived inside the Ice Cloud Sword Sect's training grounds. Jiu Shen heard some sweet grunts and beautiful shouts as several young women executed their striking sword techniques.
A young lady slashed her sword causing a flaming sword radiance to appear. Another young lady slapped her sword into the ground which then produced a ground sword nail around her.
Jiu Shen glanced at the display of their sword techniques with an expressionless face while he shook his head in disdain. ‘What kind of ugly sword technique is this? They are full of flaws and loopholes.’
Lu Sulan glanced at Jiu Shen to check his reaction on the beautiful display of his students. But when he saw her unchanging expression, he felt a little annoyed.
“Mr Jiu Shen, what do you think of my students' skills?” Lu Sulan asked doubtfully.
Jiu Shen who had subconsciously revised their sword techniques was awakened by his sudden question. “They can be considered as umpire err.. I mean they are nice and can be polished further. Your disciples only need to train the basics in detail so that they can execute your sect's sword techniques with much greater power. Furthermore, the sword techniques you taught them are somewhat flawed. It lacks substance and focuses a lot on appearance. It could still be revised.” Jiu Shen realized that he was talking too much, so he chose to remain silent.
As for Lu Sulan, he was surprised by his words. He would indeed teach his students the basics of swordsmanship to strengthen their foundations. He was able to realize their flaws after watching them for several months, but Jiu Shen saw through them in one glance? ‘Can he see their flaws in just one glance? Or is it just a coincidence?’
As for his comments about their flawed sword techniques, he ignored them and took them as nonsense.
How could their sect sword techniques be flawed? After all, it was a byproduct of the efforts of their former sect mistress. They were all amazing figures who carried fear and adoration towards the citizens of the Silver Wing Kingdom. And the sword techniques they created were extremely powerful and profound.
“Lord Jiu Shen, our sword technique was created by the mistress of the previous sect of our Ice Cloud Sword Sect. Some of them were even Saint realm experts rank 9. So how can their technique be flawed?” Lu Sulan replied in a slightly dissatisfied tone of voice.
Hearing his words, Jiu Shen shook his head calmly and remained silent.
