Chapter 14 – Sword Momentum

Chapter 14 – Sword Momentum

With each longsword he drew, Meng Fan could absorb a strand of Sword Essence.

During cultivation, using these Sword Essences could enhance his cultivation speed.

Therefore, working as a Guarding Sword Disciple in the Sword Pavilion, wiping longswords, was simply perfect for him!

At this moment, Meng Fan earnestly wiped the longswords, planning to clean forty before returning to his room to cultivate.

He had calculated that the Sword Essence from forty longswords would sustain him through a night of cultivation!

Of course, this referred to ordinary swords.Fịndd new updates at novelhall.com

If they were Spiritual Swords, one might be worth ten, even a hundred ordinary swords.

But Meng Fan didn't dare touch a Spiritual Sword yet. The previous one, "Hong Qi," had left a deep impression on him!

Last time was lucky; Hong Qi hadn't been intent on harming him.

But luck wasn't something he could count on every time!

Strength was the true path.

He would consider handling Spiritual Swords after increasing his strength.

When Meng Fan reached the twenty-sixth longsword, the long-absent Sword Wraith appeared.

The likelihood of ordinary longswords containing a Malevolent Aura wasn't high.

But for someone like Meng Fan, who wiped forty swords in one go, the probability of encountering one with a Malevolent Aura was much higher!

【Sword Name: Copper Mountain.】

***

The moment Meng Fan touched the sword, a fierce Sword Wraith rushed into his body.

Without surprise, 【Sword Dao Transcendence】 activated again, beginning to refine the Sword Wraith.

Images started to form in Meng Fan's mind.

Such swords, though not Spiritual Swords, had indeed been touched by some spirit.

Each sword had its own "memory."

In this memory, Meng Fan saw a youth.

The youth practiced the same Sword Technique with the Copper Mountain sword.

A simple vertical slash.

In this memory, the youth repeated the action over and over.

Time flowed like water, slow in the memory, but perhaps only a second passed in the reality of the Sword Pavilion.

In the scene Meng Fan saw, the youth had performed the slash countless times.

The youth had grown into a young man, still practicing the vertical slash without ever giving up.

Meng Fan frowned, puzzled.

It was just a simple vertical slash, nothing special, not even a proper Sword Technique.

Even a three-year-old could perform such a slash with a Wooden Sword.

In a sense, it wasn't the swords that were strong, but Meng Fan... and his Talent for Sword Dao Transcendence.

"Sword Momentum," Meng Fan murmured to himself.

Suddenly, a sharp pain struck his mind, and he returned to his room to rest, no longer continuing to wipe the longswords.

Although he had only wiped twenty-six swords, not reaching forty, the intense pain in his mind made it impossible to continue.

He needed to rest! The Sword Wraith unleashed by the Copper Mountain sword was, in fact, more astonishing than all the previous swords combined.

Thus, the damage Meng Fan suffered was also the most severe.

After returning to his room, Meng Fan began to regulate his breath.

The warm current inside him, now commanded as Sword Essence, began to deplete again.

Sleepless through the night, Meng Fan's headache gradually eased.

***

Dawn was breaking; the night had passed.

"This Sword Wraith from the Copper Mountain sword was too strong," Meng Fan got out of bed, rubbing his head.

Greater danger meant greater opportunity.

Meng Fan's suffering was not in vain!

Last night, in the memory, he saw that Sword Momentum—【Mountain Splitting】.

Sword Momentum was too profound.

Even with 【Sword Dao Transcendence】, Meng Fan couldn't expect to grasp Sword Momentum after just one viewing.

If his Cultivation Level were higher, perhaps it would be possible.

But after all, Meng Fan was currently just a first level Qi Refining novice.

Sword Momentum! It was too far out of reach.

Yet even so, Meng Fan had not come away empty-handed.

Although he couldn't condense the Mountain Splitting Sword Momentum, he had mastered the Mountain Splitting Sword Technique.

He had integrated this Sword Momentum into a Sword Technique of his own.

This was the insight brought by 【Sword Dao Transcendence】.

Meng Fan stepped out of his room, went to the wooden rack outside, casually took a longsword, and drew it from its sheath.

Then, he gently performed a slash!

The motion was identical to the one from last night's memory.

The person in the memory's slashes were all ordinary, except for the last one!

But the slash Meng Fan now performed, while seemingly the same, contained a unique power.

【Effortless Might】

It looked like a light slash, but it actually held the force of a thousand pounds.

He sheathed the sword and returned it to the rack.

A slight smile appeared on Meng Fan's face.
