Chapter 866 The Chosen One


    After the guard left, Emrys’s sword technique changed abruptly and became quite strange. It was a


    Ghost Sword Technique. He had also mastered the fifth sword technique, which allowed him to


    condense five sword shadows, one of which concealed a murderous intent.


    The sword technique transformed once again, unleashing a surge of wild, tumultuous


    energy….


    This was not hard toprehend. Emrys was practicing the original version of the Legendary Sword


    Technique. The three styles within it were inherently interconnected, with each path leading to the next.


    He was a prodigy.


    Upon hearing the news, Ruben was equally stunned. Without wasting a moment, he rushed to the


    courtyard where Emrys was practicing.


    In just a few days, Emrys had mastered the fifth sword technique of the Soul Sword Technique. This


    was simply an extraordinary feat! Countless mentees from the Soul Sword Sect might not even


    manage to achieve such a feat after a decade of training.

    It seemed that what Emrys said to Ruben a few days ago was not a result of blind self- confidence, but


    rather a genuine disy of his talent.


    How terrifying!


    Ruben arrived excitedly. However, Emrys was no longer practicing. Instead, he was seated under the


    shade of an old tree, surrounded by an aura of spirit energy.


    Ruben looked surprised. “Is Mr. Griffins going to have a breakthrough?”


    He had no choice but to suppress his excitement and stand at the entrance of the courtyard silently,


    waiting for Emrys toplete his breakthrough.


    A long time passed.


    Emrys was still seated there. The spirit energy around him fluctuated more intensely, as if he was on


    the brink of a breakthrough.


    At that moment, an urgent call sounded a distance away from the courtyard.


    “Mr. Ruben!”


    1/3


    “Quiet!”


    Ruben quickly hushed the messenger so they would not to disturb Emrys’s breakthrough.


    The messenger had no choice but to tread lightly.


    Ruben asked softly, “You’re sweating profusely. What happened?”


    “Mr. Ruben, it’s Mr. Peter. He’s gotten into a fight with Killian from the Origin Sword Sect at the sword


    training hall. I feel that Killian’s behavior is a bit off today. I’m worried something might happen, so I


    came to inform you.”


    Ruben furrowed his brows. “Peter, that b*stard! He really can’t stay out of trouble for long!”


    When Killian and Peter had fought previously, both of them knew their limits. Since it was just friendly


    rivalry among peers, Ruben never intervened much.


    However, things were sensitive recently.


    The messenger even said that there was something wrong with Killian that day. Apparently, Killian’s


    face was filled with madness and viciousness.


    Ruben felt a growing sense of unease.


    After shooting a nce at Emrys, who was still meditating in the courtyard, Ruben turned back and


    replied solemnly, “I think Mr. Griffins will need a bit more time before his breakthrough. Let’s head to the


    sword training hall first and see what’s going on.”


    Ruben left in a hurried manner.


    After he left, Emrys furrowed his brows.


    Did Peter get into a fight with someone? Is it with a man or a woman? Judging from the name, Killian’s


    probably a dude!


    With these thoughts wandering in his mind, Emrys opened his eyes.


    He wasn’t attempting a breakthrough just now. Since his golden elixir field was shattered, he couldn’t


    advance to the next stage.


    It was all just an act.


    He was just trying to ensure that hisbat abilities in the future would match his


    2/3


    cultivation stage. Otherwise, he would arouse too much suspicion.


    Emrys‘ Energy Cultivation Stage aura was merely a facade created by the Soul Cloak Stone. In reality,


    he was at the peak of the Foundation Stage.


    The difference between the two stages was simply too vast.


    If he were to engage inbat while he was at the peak of the Foundation Stage, others would find it


    unbelievable as he was supposed to be at the Energy Cultivation Stage. Hence, they might question


    his identity.


    Seizing this opportunity, he feigned a breakthrough. In secret, However, he used the Soul


    way, his Cloak Stone to disguise his aura and pretend to be at the Foundation Stage. This powers


    would not seem so exaggerated.


    Emrys had not expected that he would stay at the Soul Sword Sect for that long.


    After leaving the Morris residence at Cloudmist Academy, he spent a few days cultivating the


    Shapeshifting Technique. Using the Soul Cloak Stone, he masked his aura to appear as if he was at


    the Energy Cultivation Stage. He did all that to appear weak.
