Chapter 738 The Sword Emperor''s Three Sword Skills (Part One)


    Austin''s spiritual sense slowly crept towards the statue of the Sword Emperor which was right in front of


    him.


    But the very instant that his spiritual sense touched the statue, he felt a strange magical energy


    fluctuation which rippled around the statue.


    And then suddenly, thousands of colorful lights burst from the statue. They were like fireworks, both


    beautiful and magnificent. The entire statue was enveloped by the bright lights as if they were dancing


    all over it. They might look pretty, but each ray was in fact a thin streak of sword aura. These streaks


    were closely intertwined and created a brilliant light screen!


    Austin then felt that his spiritual sense was scattered by the colorful sword aura streaks like dust in the


    air. And he was unable to gather them together again as if the particles'' movements were restricted.


    Despite of this, Austin was not worried at all. He felt that the streaks of sword aura were not a threat


    towards his spiritual sense.


    His confidence stemmed from the fact that his spiritual sense was quite powerful. If he had been any


    other weak cultivator, his spiritual soul would have been destroyed the very moment his spiritual sense


    came into contact with the streaks of sword aura.


    Although Austin had some confidence with his abilities which helped him survive the ordeal, he was still


    frightened and shocked by the streaks of sword aura dancing about.


    He intently studied the screen created by the thousands of streaks of sword aura which cloaked the


    entire statue. After making sure that the streaks of thin sword aura were harmless towards his spiritual


    sense, he then released it once more and carefully inched closer towards the statue.


    And this time, Austin made sure to increase the power of his spiritual sense aspared to the first


    one he released.


    After a few seconds, his spiritual sense finally broke through the screen made up of the streaks of


    sword aura, and sessfully infiltrated the statue.


    But out of the blue something unexpected happened!


    As soon as his spiritual sense prated the inneryer of the statue, a colorful sh dashed against


    his spiritual sense and was heading straight towards his mind in an unprecedented speed. It was


    obviously after his Soul Sea.


    He was momentarily shocked and a wave of fear hit him hard, but he persistently gathered all his


    spiritual sense in a blink of an eye in his Soul Sea and formed a thick barricade in order to block the


    colorful sh from entering further.


    But sadly, his effort was in vain.


    The colorful sh broke through his Soul Sea as if his barricade was nothing but a piece of paper which


    was easily torn apart. It wasn''t even enough to slow it down for a few minutes.


    Numerous streaks of sword aura began flooding in his Soul Sea. He clearly felt his spiritual soul


    suffering wave after wave of slight prickles. It was a torturous feeling akin to being pricked by


    thousands of sharp needles over and over again.


    He had previouslypressed two streaks of Spiritual Sword Aura in his spiritual sense after he


    practiced the me Swordsmanship. Those two streaks of Spiritual Sword Aura were converted into


    two shiny sharp swords which were as white as snow, and had stayed in his Soul Sea ever since.


    But amidst the ongoing onught, the two snow-white swords were nowhere in sight. They were


    actually whining and cowering, as they stayed hidden in the corner. It seemed like the intruder was too

    powerful for them to handle, which exined why they were having cold feet.


    Suddenly, the colorful sh transformed into a tiny man. He was no bigger than a man''s thumb. Austin


    just then recognized the man. He was none other than the Sword Emperor himself. He had already


    passed away, but a shred of his spiritual sense remained because of his power and will, which then


    changed into a tiny version of himself!


    "Young man, don''t be afraid. I won''t hurt you because you were lucky enough to get the statue of the


    Sword Emperor which I left behind. Strictly speaking, you are to a certain extent my disciple."


    The tiny man tried his best to calm down Austin in a gentle but enthusiastic voice. He might have felt


    the fear and utter surprise emanating from Austin''s spiritual soul.


    "Well, the spiritual sense and the physical strength just barely meet my demands. But you are at the


    medium stage of Sky Realm. Your vital energy realm is too low. In this Prime Martial World, you are as


    weak as an ant.


    But fortunately you are still young, and you still have a lot to learn. If you get good opportunities and


    practice hard enough, you will no doubt be a promising cultivator and you might just be even


    more stronger than I was before."


    The Sword Emperor was able to scan and evaluate Austin''s Soul Sea in a blink of an eye, and had a


    clear picture of Austin''s power and abilities, which exins his frank but honestments in front of


    Austin.


    Austin finally felt and understood that the statue of the Sword Emperor wouldn''t hurt him. His nerves


    had been stretched to its breaking point moments ago. But now he was able to rx a bit and breathed


    a sigh of relief.


    But upon hearing the honest assessment from the Sword Emperor, his fear was immediately reced


    with embarrassment. The man saw through him so easily, as if he was looking through a transparent


    door.


    His vital energy cultivation base was indeed at the medium stage of Sky Realm. He was very much


    aware that his cultivation base was too low in the Sword Emperor''s eyes. Honestly speaking, he might


    be even weakerpared to the tiny ants.


    "Sir…"


    In his Soul Sea, his spiritual soul transformed into a tiny Austin version and said to the Sword Emperor


    respectfully.


    "Still calling me sir, huh?"


    the Sword Emperor sarcastically said. Despite the fact that he looked kind and easy-going, Austin knew


    that behind the facade lurked an unseen but unbreakable suppression from him. He stared at Austin


    with a condescending and haughty look, as if he was nothing more than dirt beneath his feet.


    Each pores in his skin released a streak of sword aura. All the lightsing from the streaks of sword


    aura shone, giving him a majestic glow all over his body. Under the cover of the brilliantyer of lights


    stood a regal emperor who was worshiped by his citizens.


    Upon hearing and digesting the Sword Emperor''s words and recalling thements he had previously


    made, Austin finally realized that the Sword Emperor promised to take him as his disciple. "Master,


    please ept me as your disciple."


    He humbly spoke to the Sword Emperor as his spiritual soul bowed down to him.


    "Ha-ha. Well, technically speaking, you are my disciple but only to an extent.


    Within this statue, I have left behind some lessons about swordsmanship and the three swordsmanship


    skills that I used to practice. You were able to receive it by chance. That only means you were destined


    to get the treasure I have left behind.


    What you now see is but a wisp of my spiritual sense. I have already departed the Prime Martial World


    for the outside world.


    Now then, I will teach you the lessons about swordsmanship hidden in the statue. I hope you can study


    them carefully and teach it to other cultivators all over the world. I will certainly be d if you can do so.


    Such knowledge must be shared and not kept to one''s self.
