Chapter 50
Natural Sword Constitution, it was said to come only once in a millennium.
According to legends, the founding Grandmaster of the Sword Mountain was someone with the Natural Sword Constitution. Afterward, up till the Sword Mountain was separated into One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousands Sword Mountain, there has never been a second person with this constitution.
As for the Demon Sect’s former sect master—Yan Li, the world’s current best sword cultivator—the outside world has suspected that he perhaps also had a Natural Sword Constitution.
As for Lu Xun… he clearly knew himself—’I’m a bull crap Natural Sword Constitution!’
Apart from his full value in ‘Charisma’, he only had one point of ‘Sword Dao Aptitude’. Without a doubt, a person with true Natural Sword Constitution probably had ten points in sword dao aptitude—he was far from close!
Strictly speaking, he was only a damn cheater.
‘But, since everyone’s calling me someone with a Natural Sword Constitution…’
‘Then… alright! I’ll lay my cards on the table!’
‘I have a Natural Sword Constitution for sure!’
Because of his uniqueness, he only needed to accumulate experience value to cultivate, whereas, other people depended on comprehension to cultivate. Sometimes, this would certainly be too astonishing.
After all, even after the players arrived, they were still all newbies who fumbled about and started from Newbie Villages. They would be doing small missions first before moving to large missions, one step at a time.
There was no one with a similar case like his where he became the Demon Sect’s Great Uncle-Master in one leap. Any mission he accepted was a large mission with high rewards, and under the blessing of seniority, the difficulty of the mission would also be lowered.
He improved too quickly. Because of this, he certainly needed a cover, and this Natural Sword Constitution thing was a pretty good choice.
‘Good! From today on, I’m someone with an authentic Natural Sword Constitution!’
When Lu Xun opened his eyes, he saw the wooden sword placed horizontally between him and Second Senior Sister.
The wooden sword was unadorned, there weren’t any sort of veined patterns—plain to the extreme. It felt as though it was no better than the kind of wooden toy swords people played with as a child.
However, once one took a close look, they would notice that this wooden sword already had its own divine aura, as if it were alive!
It was at this very moment that Lu Xun discovered Second Senior Sister’s hair, which had always been tied up, was draped over her shoulders. It reduced a sliver of her frigidity and added a touch of gentleness and beauty to her.
He didn’t actually have time to look closely, this was because Second Senior Sister waved her sleeve and placed him back on the ground.
She now roughly understood what had happened.
If he were someone who had the Natural Sword Constitution, then the man was the sword. This would be a reasonable explanation.
Although this path was never taken by their Eldest Senior Brother nor the founding Grandmaster of the Sword Mountain, it didn’t mean that it was impossible.
However, the Sword Nurturing Technique had always been mainly about nurturing the sword. But it suddenly turned from nurturing the sword to nurturing the man, it just felt strange…
By doing it this way, would the sword still have its original powers?
Could Little Junior Brother achieve becoming one with the sword?
Let’s give it a try!
Second Senior Sister said, “S… Southnorth, you… you go find Peak Master Sima, get… get a… a sword.”
Evergreen Peak’s Peak Master Sima Chuan was an armament refining master, at the same time, he was also in charge of the allocation of enchanted treasures.
To put it bluntly, he was in charge of the Demon Sect’s storehouse.
“Get a sword for what?” Cat Southnorth asked, somewhat puzzled.
“To… to give Little Junior Brother… a try.”
“Alrighty!” Cat Southnorth prepared to get up right away.
Lu Xun said in a hurry, “Fourth Senior Sister, remember to get a high-grade one!”
Although it was going to be borrowed for a test, as the Demon Sect’s Little Great Uncle-Master and Sima Chuan’s Uncle-Master, if he borrowed it for a slightly longer period of time… no one would say anything, right?
He currently had no equipment from head to toe, this was indeed a little pitiable.
“I, Lu Xun, am an honorable person!”
“This person has no shame!”
Cat Southnorth covered her cat ears with her hands, pretending not to hear, and then she flew away.
“I’m not listening, not listening to the basta*d’s preaching!”
“It was just to get a sword for a mere test, he even added, “the higher the grade the better”, this would be too embarrassing for this old lady! It’s not like this old lady lacks enchanted treasures.”
There were those who died from a drought and those who died from a flood[1]…
As to why she had to especially borrow a sword from Sima Chuan, it was because even if Cat Southnorth and Second Senior Sister had spare swords without a master, the tiers they had wouldn’t be low. Lu Xun wouldn’t be able to unleash their full powers at all.
Cat Southnorth soon returned and brought not only one, but two swords.
Sima Chuan showed quite the respect here, mainly because the lolita accepted the order from the Second Senior Sister. This was why he directly gave her two swords.
If it were Cat Southnorth herself who wanted it, he might have even asked, “What’s Little Aunt-Master borrowing the sword for?”
“Shua…” Cat Southnorth tossed the two swords forward and they landed on the ground.
The sword on the left was long and broad, it was entirely black, somewhat like the one used in ‘The Return of the Condor Heroes[2]’.
Lu Xun took a single glance and the information regarding the sword appeared before his eyes:
‘Sword Name: Dark Short Sword (Yellow), middle-grade enchanted armament.’
At his current level, he could unleash the majority of a middle-grade enchanted armament’s power.
As for the sword on the right, it was a bit more unique. It was a long sword that was mainly purple, the showy type of purple. The blade had red decorative patterns. As a whole, it looked especially gaudy!
‘Sword Name: Tyrannical Purple Imperial Red[3](Yellow), superior-grade enchanted armament.’
“What sort of brainless name is this?…” Lu Xun felt speechless.
The contrast between the two swords were great when these were put together.
Second Senior Sister sat on the large rock as she said, “Give… give it a try.”
Lu Xun nodded and walked towards the Dark Short Sword.
The moment his right hand touched the sword hilt, the small sword inside the Heart of the Sword shook for a moment. Then, an invisible force was suddenly transmitted from his palm, it immediately sent the Dark Short Sword flying!
Lu Xun, “╭(°A°`)╮”
He looked blankly at his right hand, and then at the Dark Short Sword that had been sent flying, his expression stupefied.
He jogged towards the Dark Short Sword and reached out with his hand to pick it up. Just as his fingertips touched the sword hilt, the small sword inside his Heart of the Sword trembled even more violently.
“Peng…!”
The Dark Short Sword was sent flying again, this time, it was knocked right into a bamboo!
Lu Xun refused to believe this! After repeatedly attempting several times, he finally gave up on the Dark Short Sword. He then turned his evil clutches towards the foolishly named Tyrannical Purple Imperial Red.
“Peng…” It was also sent flying!
However, It didn’t fly that far compared to the Dark Short Sword.
Lu Xun stared blankly at his hands, he could indistinctly feel the jealousy of the small sword inside his Heart of the Sword.
Precisely speaking, this thing was the one rejecting these two swords!
It didn’t let Lu Xun touch other b*tches!
It wasn’t just him, but even Cat Southnorth and Second Senior Sister was stupefied at the scenes occurring before their eyes.
“What just happened?” The same idea crossed their minds.
Second Senior Sister pondered for a while before her slender fingers twirled. The wooden hairpin turned back into a wooden sword and flew in front of Lu Xun.
“Try… try it,” Second Senior Sister said.
Lu Xun nodded, but he didn’t immediately try to make contact.
He was unable to receive any basic information on this wooden sword. This meant that its grade was quite high, to the point where he currently couldn’t look up its information.
Thus, he was a little nervous and cautious.
Before attempting to hold the sword, he took a deep breath.
And then, he slowly reached out his right hand towards the wooden sword’s hilt.
