Chapter 21 – Innate Sword Body, capable of slaying immortals

Hong Qi's lips twitched, revealing a smile.

"Kid, you absorb the Essence of the Sword every day, and although you use it all up for cultivation, each time you do, your physique is tempered.

Over time, your body will undergo a transformation, and sooner or later, you'll develop an Innate Sword Physique.

Then, what would your Mixed Spiritual Root count for?"

Innate Sword Physique?

Meng Fan's face showed surprise upon hearing this term.

He had never heard of an Innate Sword Physique before, but it sounded impressive.

"What is an Innate Sword Physique?" Meng Fan asked curiously.

"Human talent isn't limited to just the Spiritual Root; there's also the physique.

The 【Spiritual Root】 represents your cultivation talent. Those with an Excellent Spiritual Root cultivate a hundred times faster than those with a Mixed Spiritual Root, if not more!

The 【Physique】 represents the strength of your power. For example, someone with a divine physique could, at the first level of True Martial Realm, potentially kill a ninth-level martial artist without a special physique!

If you can cultivate an Innate Sword Physique, then in a sense, you could make up for the deficiencies of your Spiritual Root.

Even though your cultivation speed can't match those with Superior or Excellent Spiritual Roots, you could fight beyond your level!"

Hearing Hong Qi's words, Meng Fan showed a hint of astonishment.

This was news he had never heard before.

For him, this was indeed good news!

But all this, frankly, was thanks to Sword Dao Transcendence.

"What you're talking about is just a possibility; I might not necessarily cultivate an Innate Sword Physique," Meng Fan said to Hong Qi.

Hong Qi calmly replied, "Even if it's just a possibility, it's enough for me to follow you. After all, others don't even have that chance!"

Meng Fan nodded; the logic was sound, no question about it.

He thought for a moment and then asked, "You're following me of your own accord; there must be something you're after. What is it?"

Some things had to be clear, or else Meng Fan couldn't be at ease.

After all, Hong Qi was too powerful, and this sword could threaten his life!

"You really don't need to be so wary of me. By choosing to follow you, I acknowledge you as my master and will only help you, not harm you," Hong Qi said with a wry smile.

Meng Fan shook his head.

"I don't believe you're so kind-hearted. After all, you nearly drained me dry when we first met! So, if we want to acknowledge each other, let's talk about something more substantial."

Meng Fan drew the Hong Qi Sword, and a cold light exploded in his room.

Even without using True Qi to stimulate it, the blade of the Hong Qi Sword emitted a chilling malevolence.

The Malevolent Aura of the sword was indeed astonishing.

Not to mention the Malevolent Aura accumulated from the sword's bloodshed, just Hong Qi herself already had endless resentment.

Meng Fan looked at the blade, his face showing a faint confidence.

"No matter who your enemy is or what their Cultivation Level or Realm is, even if it's an immortal in person, they will eventually die by this Hong Qi Sword."

Hong Qi didn't expect Meng Fan to be so confident.

Just before, he had been so despondent about having a Mixed Spiritual Root.

Was it all an act?

Meng Fan smiled at Hong Qi and said, "Actually, I'm grateful for your trust in me, for having confidence in me. But in fact, I'm even more confident than you!"

With the supreme talent of Sword Dao Transcendence, given enough time, Meng Fan could slay even the gods and Buddhas for you to see.

"I look forward to seeing that day," Hong Qi said with a complex tone.

After speaking, her phantom turned into a red light and returned to the Hong Qi Sword.

"You will see that day," Meng Fan said, glancing at the Hong Qi Sword before sheathing it.

Meng Fan, holding the Hong Qi Sword and the Copper Mountain Sword, stepped out of his room.

The Copper Mountain Sword was destroyed; he wondered if he needed to compensate for it.

Yesterday, Senior Disciple Luo seemed to say that if his sword was damaged in the future, he wouldn't need to hand over Spirit Stones, just exchange it directly.

Hopefully, that wasn't just Senior Disciple Luo talking nonsense.

Although he had earned a sum of Spirit Stones from Liu Yanping, he had already spent them all on pills, and now he was penniless!

After washing up and eating in the dining hall, he returned to clean his long swords.

Out of forty long swords, only one contained Malevolent Aura.

After refining the Malevolent Aura with Sword Dao Transcendence, Meng Fan learned a rather unremarkable Sword Technique called "Leaf Severing Sword Technique," hardly worth mentioning.

This sword technique was not as strong as the "Emerald Sea Tide Rises Sword" he learned from Liu Yanping, so Meng Fan naturally didn't take it to heart.

Senior Disciple Luo, sticking to his usual routine, slept until the sun was high and then lazily got out of bed.

Meng Fan had been waiting for him for a long time and quickly handed over the Copper Mountain Sword.

Senior Disciple Luo looked at the broken Copper Mountain Sword with surprise.

"What happened here? You broke the sword you just chose last night?"
