Chapter 37: Epic-grade Sword Arts
Three Epic-grade Sword Arts.
Such a gift was enough to make even veteran Streamers lose their composure, yet Dan remained calm, not because he underestimated their value, but quite the opposite. It was precisely because he understood their worth that he forced himself to stay composed. Excitement clouded judgment, and a swordsman’s hand must remain steady regardless of whether it held victory or fortune.
Then —
[Ding! Gift Received from @DrunkenSwordImmortal: Epic-Grade Flowing Heaven Art]
----
[Flowing Heaven Art(Epic)]: A sword art that emphasizes absolute fluidity. The practitioner abandons rigid forms and allows every strike to flow naturally into the next like an endless river. Every successful attack increases the momentum of the following strike, making prolonged battles increasingly favorable.
Special Ability:
• Consecutive sword strikes gain stacking sword momentum.
• Movement speed increases while attacking.
• Sword intent becomes increasingly difficult to interrupt.
Recommended Weapon: Single-handed swords. freewebnovel.cσ๓

Before Dan could finish reading, another notification appeared.
[Ding! Gift Received from @DrunkenSwordImmortal: Epic-Grade Void Severing Art]
----
[Void Severing Art (Epic)]: A sword art that condenses spiritual power into an impossibly sharp edge capable of slicing through energy itself. Rather than relying solely upon physical strength, this technique attacks both matter and spiritual constructs simultaneously.
Special Ability:
• Greatly increases sword aura penetration.
• Deals additional damage against barriers, shields, and defensive techniques.
• Spiritual attacks become significantly sharper.
Recommended Weapon: Any sword-type weapon.
-----
Dan’s pupils narrowed slightly. A technique capable of cutting energy? That alone made it extraordinarily valuable. Yet the notifications still hadn’t stopped.
[Ding!Gift Received from @DrunkenSwordImmortal: Epic-Grade Eternal Nether Art]
-----
[Eternal Nether Art (Epic)]: A sword art born from darkness. The practitioner tempers their sword using Dark Energy, allowing every strike to erode life force and spiritual energy simultaneously. Those wounded gradually become weaker the longer battle continues.
Special Ability:
• Infuses sword attacks with Dark Energy.
• Reduces enemy regeneration.
• Slowly corrodes spiritual defenses.
Warning: Requires an external source of Dark Energy to achieve its full potential.
-----
Dan slowly read the final sentence once more. "External source... Dark Energy..." He quietly stored the information within his mind. Just then, the livestream comments finally resumed.
[@GoldenFeatherPrincess: Three Epic Sword Arts... Senior Drunken Sword Immortal, your generosity today is truly astonishing. Even ancient clans would treasure such inheritances as their greatest legacy.]
[@StoneGiantKing: Hmph. Those techniques are certainly worthy of cultivation. Especially Void Severing Art. Even among Epic-Grade techniques, its offensive potential ranks extremely high. Brat, don’t disappoint the old drunk after receiving gifts of this magnitude.]
[@NineTailEmpress: These are not ordinary manuals. Each possesses its own philosophy. Learning all three properly may completely transform your understanding of swordsmanship.]
Then the old immortal himself spoke again.
[@DrunkenSwordImmortal: Hahaha! Little brat, don’t think these manuals simply fell from the heavens. This immortal once relied upon those very Sword Arts when I was nothing more than an insignificant ant crawling beneath stronger beings.]
[@DrunkenSwordImmortal: Every sword strike I swung... every enemy I defeated... every realm I crossed... began with these techniques. I cultivated them until they became a part of me before eventually walking beyond them. A swordsman cannot cling forever to another’s path, but another’s path may become the bridge toward creating his own.]
Dan quietly nodded. Those words carried tremendous weight. Every expert had once been weak, and every immortal had once taken their first step. A towering tree does not mock the sapling — for yesterday’s sapling becomes tomorrow’s forest. The greatest swordsman was once the weakest disciple. Only time separated them.
Dan silently bowed his head.
"Senior..."
"You have my gratitude."
He rarely thanked people, but gratitude deserved acknowledgment. Before another comment could appear, his Talent activated.
[Ding! Infinite Amplification Activated.]
[1000X Amplification...]
[Amplification Complete.]
[Flowing Heaven Art (Epic)] — [Heavenly River Sword Art (Mythical)]
Description: The sword no longer follows the river. The sword becomes the river. Every strike flows endlessly without interruption, allowing the practitioner to maintain perfect offensive momentum while seamlessly transitioning between attack, defense, movement, and counterattack.
Special Abilities:
• Infinite Momentum. Every consecutive strike permanently strengthens subsequent attacks during battle.
• Heavenly Flow. Every movement naturally avoids enemy attacks whenever possible.
• River Domain. Sword intent continuously expands, suppressing nearby enemies.
Dan’s heartbeat quickened. Infinite Momentum — such an ability practically eliminated one of a swordsman’s greatest weaknesses in long battles. Then the second amplification appeared.
[Ding!]
[Void Severing Art (Epic)] — [Heaven Splitter Art (Mythical)]
Description: A supreme sword art capable of dividing not merely flesh and spirit... but concepts themselves. The edge transcends ordinary sharpness, allowing the practitioner to sever energy, barriers, curses, formations, spatial distortions, and even fragments of dimensional instability.
Special Abilities:
• Heaven Rend. Greatly amplifies all sword aura.
• Spatial Severance. May cut through unstable dimensions.
• Lawbreaker Edge. Reduces the effectiveness of defensive techniques regardless of grade.
Even Dan couldn’t completely hide his astonishment. Spatial Severance! That ability alone sounded unbelievable.
[Ding!]
[Eternal Nether Art (Epic)] — [Eternal Abyss Art (Mythical)]
Description: The supreme Sword Art of eternal darkness. Rather than merely borrowing Dark Energy... the practitioner gradually transforms darkness itself into the sword’s companion. Every strike devours vitality, spiritual power, and surrounding energy while strengthening the sword’s abyssal nature.
Special Abilities:
• Abyssal Sword Intent. Every attack carries devouring properties.
• Eternal Corrosion. Enemy techniques gradually weaken after repeated clashes.
• Abyss Evolution. May absorb compatible Dark Attribute to permanently evolve this Sword Art.
Current Evolution Requirement Detected:

[Skull Knight’s Core (Rare)] freeweɓnovel.cøm
Compatibility Rate: 98%
Suggestion: Absorbing the Skull Knight’s Core will permanently strengthen Eternal Abyss Art.
-----
Dan froze. His thoughts immediately returned to the Hidden Boss — the Skull Knight — and its Core, which he still possessed. Originally he had planned to sell it to an alchemist. Now that plan completely disappeared.
"This Sword Art..."
"It can evolve..."
Unlike ordinary techniques, it possessed growth potential. The Skull Knight’s Core was merely the beginning, who knew what future treasures could strengthen it further?
