Free Web NovelChapter 22: Chapter 22
As Adam’s cultivation continued to rise, these three streaks of Source Innate Sword Qi would also grow increasingly powerful.
"Brother Adam, such a heavy gift... I feel unworthy to accept it."
"Brother Oswin, I stay in Inkwood Academy most of the time and have no enemies in my daily life. These three sword talismans are not of much use to me."
"Your actions will inevitably lead you through immense dangers and countless tribulations in the future. These three sword talismans have found the right master."
"Please, Brother Oswin, do not decline. What if my three sword talismans can help you stabilize the universe?!"
Hearing Adam say this, Oswin no longer declined. He wanted to chat and catch up a bit more, but seeing a Night Watch envoy walking toward the ruined house, he hurriedly took his leave.
After bidding farewell to Oswin, Adam did not linger and quickly returned home.
Upon arriving home and finishing dinner, Adam looked at Cecilia, who was clearing the dishes. "Cecilia, I recently learned a set of sword techniques. Come, I’ll teach you."
Seeing how domineering and tyrannical the Night Watch Bureau had been recently, Adam realized he had been negligent regarding Cecilia’s safety.
Cecilia was naturally a breathtaking beauty. If some blind Night Watch envoy saw her face one day and was momentarily emboldened by lust, a weak girl like Cecilia would have absolutely no power to protect herself.
Those three sword talismans had originally been meant for Cecilia, but he had just given them to Oswin.
The talismans contained Adam’s Source Innate Sword Qi. With his current cultivation, he could only condense three. Any more and it would easily damage his source foundation. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
Given the situation, the only way to improve Cecilia’s ability to protect herself was to have her practice martial arts and raise her own strength.
"Sword techniques!"
A trace of astonishment appeared in Cecilia’s eyes. "Young Master, why do you want to teach me sword techniques?!"
"With your strength, Young Master, you can completely protect me."
This Cecilia was quite confident in the original owner... expecting him to protect her! With the original owner’s meager strength, in the capital he would not even count as cannon fodder.
"Cecilia, within three months, the capital will definitely fall into chaos, and I might not be able to look after you the entire time."
"This sword technique is a top-tier peerless sword technique in all of Silver Willow Dynasty. If you can master it, I’m afraid there won’t be many existences in the entirety of Silver Willow Dynasty who are your match."
Better to paint a grand picture first. The Thirteen Heaven-Shattering Swords was indeed the Sword Sect’s peerless technique. Although there were only thirteen stances, every single stance contained myriads of variations.
Even for a Heaven’s Chosen, comprehending the simplest first stance would take several years. Who knew how long it would take Cecilia to learn all thirteen swords.
However, as long as she comprehended even a sliver of its profound mysteries, it would be enough to massively boost her strength.
Snapping off a tree branch, Adam demonstrated the first strike of the Thirteen Heaven-Shattering Swords in front of Cecilia. He originally intended to tutor her and explain some of the profound mysteries so she could comprehend it more deeply.
To his surprise, before he could even open his mouth, Cecilia rebuked him. "Hmph, Young Master, such a simple sword move, and you say it’s some top-tier sword technique of Silver Willow."
"Young Master, you are boasting again."
Simple?! Seeing Cecilia this arrogant for the first time, Adam was somewhat stunned and stood frozen on the spot.
"Simple!!!"
"You little girl who hasn’t seen the world, how dare you speak so arrogantly and say the Thirteen Heaven-Shattering Swords is simple!"
Even though this was only the simplest first stance, the variations contained within it numbered in the hundreds. Even those Heaven’s Chosen disciples in the Sword Sect would not dare say this first stance was simple.
"Young Master, this is clearly very simple!"
Seeing that Adam did not believe her, Cecilia snatched the tree branch from his hand and demonstrated it right in front of him on the spot.
When he first started watching, there was still a bit of disdain in Adam’s eyes. However, as he continued to watch, his expression gradually changed. By the time Cecilia finished, Adam’s face had completely transformed.
Thick shock filled his eyes. Looking at Cecilia before him, Adam felt a sudden sense of unfamiliarity.
Although Cecilia’s demonstration was not exactly the same, it captured at least seventy percent of its essence.
It was only because she had no cultivation base that she grasped its spirit but could not display the true power of the sword art.
To comprehend seventy percent just from watching me demonstrate the first sword once!
This talent! For a moment, Adam did not know what to say.
Seeing Adam looking at her with such a strange gaze, Cecilia was full of confusion. "Young Master, did Cecilia demonstrate it incorrectly?"
"No, no, your demonstration just now was extremely correct."
After pondering for a moment, Adam asked, "Right, Cecilia, can you still remember your parents?" freёwebnoѵel.com
Adam remembered that Cecilia had been picked up by his mother at their doorstep during a heavy snowstorm.
"Young Master, what are you saying? I was only three years old at the time. How could I remember things from back then?"
Cecilia rolled her eyes at Adam.
Adam naturally knew Cecilia was only three at the time, but the talent she had just displayed was simply too shocking. It truly made him suspect there was something odd about Cecilia’s origins, leaving him feeling a bit flustered.
The Thirteen Heaven-Shattering Swords was the unpassed secret technique of the Sword Sect. For three hundred years, no one had ever successfully cultivated all thirteen swords.
From this alone one could see how high the difficulty truly was.
He himself had only comprehended all thirteen swords in a single day because he had triggered God-Tier Comprehension. It was just that due to his cultivation level, he could not execute the final eight swords.
But Cecilia had only watched him demonstrate it once, yet she comprehended seventy percent of the first sword. Although she was still far off compared to himself...
This kind of innate talent, even if Arthur from three hundred years ago was resurrected, he would be far inferior to Cecilia!
