Chapter 224: Passing on a Technique!

"Huh?"

Upon seeing the sword Ling Feng took out, Yan Cangtian's eyes flickered with a hint of doubt. Unable to restrain himself, he remarked, "Kid, surely you haven't fallen on such hard times that you still resort to a broken sword?"

Typically, upon admission to Tianwei Academy, everyone received at least a decent iron sword. Though not a mystical artifact, it ranked among the finest of ordinary artifacts.

However, Ling Feng's Eradicator of Realms was both ugly and black, lacking any discernible edge. Cracks adorned its blade, as if a mere swing could cause it to snap into several pieces.

Even a simple iron rod would likely prove more effective than this so-called "sword."

"This isn't just any broken sword," Ling Feng remarked lightly. "Elder Yan, this sword is named the Eradicator of Realms."

"Hmph, fancy name," Yan Cangtian shook his head, casually retrieving a low-grade treasured artifact from his dimensional spirit ring. "Take this Bamboo Ink Sword, it's yours from now on."

Ling Feng accepted the treasured long sword, stashing it away into his storage spirit ring, while still clutching the Eradicator of Realms. He smiled at Yan Cangtian, "Thank you, Elder Yan, for the gifted sword!"

After all, it was a treasured artifact; one shouldn't let it go to waste!

"You rascal!" Yan Cangtian exclaimed, slapping his forehead. Despite accepting his treasured artifact, Ling Feng still held onto that broken sword!

Suddenly, a thought crossed Yan Cangtian's mind. Could there be something unusual about this sword?

"Ling Feng, may I have a closer look at your sword?" Yan Cangtian asked. Ling Feng pursed his lips and tossed the Eradicator of Realms over to him.

Yan Cangtian reached out to grasp the sword, intending to inspect the blade closely. However, he suddenly felt an unexpected weight to it. When he attempted to raise it, his arm simply wouldn't comply.

"How is this possible?" Yan Cangtian's pupils contracted. With gritted teeth, he secretly channeled the elemental force within his body. With a burst of internal energy, he finally managed to lift the Eradicator of Realms, his face flushed red with exertion.

This sword is so heavy!

"Hmm? Elder Yan, what's wrong?" Ling Feng looked at Yan Cangtian with confusion. He was unaware that the Eradicator of Realms was a heavenly weapon of the Human Dao, crafted exclusively for him.

To him, this sword felt as ordinary as any other, weighing only tens of pounds. However, for others, this sword weighed a staggering 108,000 pounds!

If Yan Cangtian hadn't been an expert of the Spiritual Sea Realm, he might have embarrassed himself.

"It's nothing," Yan Cangtian said casually, while secretly channeling elemental force. Outwardly, he maintained a calm demeanor, but inwardly, he was in turmoil.

"What a peculiar weapon!" Yan Cangtian flicked it with his finger. From its appearance to its material, the sword seemed entirely different from ordinary blades. However, its weight was utterly out of proportion.

He gathered the strength capable of snapping even the finest mystical artifact, and tapped it against the blade.

Yan Cangtian, possessing broad knowledge and experience, could deduce that the Eradicator of Realms sword must have already acknowledged its master, making it so that only Ling Feng could wield it with ease.

However, a sword capable of recognizing its master would typically need to be at least a top-grade spiritual artifact, or even a celestial artifact!

Could this unremarkable sword be a broken celestial sword?

Yan Cangtian, no longer daring to underestimate Ling Feng's Eradicator of Realms, carefully observed Ling Feng's sword techniques and noticed that Ling Feng had already infused that hint of sword will into his moves.

A hint of admiration flickered in his eyes: This young man is truly extraordinary!

After executing the Flower-Transposing Jade-Burying Sword technique, Ling Feng sheathed his sword and stood calmly, inquiring, "Elder Yan, what do you think?"

"A mystical-tier sword technique, performed adequately but not impressively," Yan Cangtian replied solemnly, radiating the demeanor of a grandmaster.

Indeed, for someone like him, an expert at the Spiritual Sea Realm, a mere mystical-tier sword technique fell short of being remarkable.

"In fact, I have one more move..." Ling Feng hesitated for a moment, contemplating whether to execute the Scorching Sky Blaze technique.

"Never mind. Considering your level, you may not be capable of mastering any exceptionally formidable swordsmanship," Yan Cangtian interrupted Ling Feng, his expression filled with pride. "Since I've promised to offer guidance, I'll teach you a sword technique today!"

Ling Feng pursed his lips, relieved that Yan Cangtian wasn't interested in witnessing his Scorching Sky Blaze technique. After all, each time he employed it, he depleted a significant portion of his true qi.

But the fact that Yan Cangtian wanted to impart a sword technique made Ling Feng secretly delighted.

How much worse could the swordsmanship of a Spiritual Sea Realm expert be?

After contemplating for a moment, Yan Cangtian's eyes brightened, and he declared, "Very well, I'll teach you this technique. Your previous swordplay, though acceptable, beared obvious flaws. Your sword's speed is too sluggish, reminiscent of an elderly swordsman! Observe closely now!"

With a disdainful glance at Ling Feng's sword, Yan Cangtian suddenly flashed a red light in his hand, revealing a blazing treasure sword.

An invisible energy surged abruptly.

Yan Cangtian's long hair and robe billowed in the wind, giving him the appearance of a grandmaster.

"Watch closely, kid, I'll demonstrate this move only three times!"

As his words faded, Yan Cangtian lifted his arm, and the blade, resembling flames, bloomed into a dazzling fiery flower in the night sky.

The sword in his hand moved akin to an antelope's horn, leaving no trace. It seemed to adhere to some profound laws of the universe, like the cycle of the sun and moon, or the shifting of stars. Everything was mysterious, to be felt but not expressed!

Ling Feng hastily activated the Heavenly Dao divine inscription, and for a moment, he found himself utterly captivated.
