Chapter 1295: Thousand-Year Sword

"

Hiss!

"

Mo Qiuhua sucked in a sharp breath and turned toward the Second Manor Master with disbelief in her voice. "What did you just say? A second sword will?"

"Although it was only a fleeting glimpse, I am certain this boy carries a second sword will. What kind of genius is he, what kind of monster is this child?"

𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

The Second Manor Master's eyes gleamed with excitement as he spoke in a low voice. "If he reveals both of those sword wills, what recommendation letter could possibly compare? Countless old monsters at Dongling Immortal Pool would compete to take him as a disciple!"

Mo Qiuhua's expression tightened. She drew a deep breath and asked, "Old man, could you see what attribute his second sword will belongs to?"

Second Manor Master shook his head. "I didn't see it, but I am sure it is not weaker than the Slaughterous Sword Will!"

"Stronger than the Slaughterous Sword Will?" Mo Qiuhua's eyelids twitched. Her understanding of Ling Feng shattered once again.

Having reached the advanced Slaughterous Sword Will already made him a monster among men, yet he possessed another sword will even more frightening than Slaughterous Sword Will. At that point he was no longer merely monstrous, he was a true monster!

"So, do you want to continue?"

Ling Feng walked slowly toward Mo Sanqing. His expression remained calm and steady, completely unshaken.

"

Pfft!

"

Mo Sanqing suddenly spat blood. He stared at Ling Feng with disbelief and clenched his fists until they turned pale. "I... I yield!"

Ling Feng offered a faint smile and sheathed the Eradicator of Realms before standing leisurely at the center of the arena.

To him, this battle had simply tested the power of two advanced sword wills combined with sound wave transmission. It was not without its gains.

On the high platform, Mo Qiuhua rose to her feet and inhaled deeply before announcing, "Ling Feng is the winner. No one should have any doubts about the recommendation now."

The crowd remained silent. No one dared voice the slightest objection.

Ling Feng gave Mo Qiuhua a fist-and-palm salute. "In that case, thank you, Senior Mo."

Once the match ended, Ling Feng prepared to return to his residence, but Second Manor Master and Mo Qiuhua stopped him.

"Little friend Ling!"

The Second Manor Master smiled broadly, his face alight with excitement as he gazed at Ling Feng. He thoroughly examined him, as if appraising a priceless treasure.

"Senior."

Ling Feng returned a polite fist-and-palm salute, although that stare made him quite uncomfortable.

Anyone would feel uneasy being studied like some bizarre creature.

"

Hehe

..." Second Manor Master seemed to notice Ling Feng's displeasure and let out a light laugh. "Little friend, the skill you displayed just now truly opened this old man's eyes!"

"Senior flatters me," Ling Feng replied. "They were only small tricks, hardly worthy of Senior's attention."

"If mastering two attributed sword wills counts as a small trick, then every swordsman in the world should retire in shame."

Second Manor Master shook his head as a bitter smile spread across his face. "I spent more than one hundred and twenty years comprehending the Vast Horizon Sword Will and only reached minor perfection, yet here you are at such a young age already controlling sword wills at the advanced level. It really puts me to shame."

"It was nothing more than a fortunate opportunity." Ling Feng smiled. In truth, even with two sword wills already at advanced mastery, he still felt his progress was far too slow. After all, only by pushing the Reincarnated Sword Will to great perfection could he use the "Art of Reincarnation and Rebirth" and control the twelve great emperor corpses.

(Author's note: refer chapter 560)

Given how terrifying twelve great emperor-realm puppets would be, Ling Feng would practically be unstoppable in the Dongling Immortal Pool. Unfortunately, raising the Reincarnated Sword Will to great perfection was extraordinarily difficult. Hearing that Second Manor Master took one hundred and twenty years to reach minor perfection finally made Ling Feng realize how naive he had been.

If the Reincarnated Sword Will were truly easy to cultivate, the Reincarnation Sword Emperor would not have died without ever unleashing those twelve great emperor puppets upon the world.

What comforted Ling Feng was that aside from the

Reincarnation Heaven-Burying Sword Art

, he also possessed another extraordinary sword art, the

Art of Simple Detachment

.

With the complete version in hand, he could make small but steady improvements every day. Even slow progress was still far beyond what ordinary cultivators could ever hope to achieve.

Second Manor Master sighed. "In the path of martial arts, opportunity matters more than anything. With luck like yours, anyone would be envious."

Ling Feng touched the bridge of his nose and held back from saying more, afraid of discouraging the old man further.

Second Manor Master then drew a deep breath. "Little friend Ling, this old man has one more question."

"There is no need to call it a question. If Senior has something to ask, please speak." Ling Feng smiled lightly. He already knew what was coming.

"What is the attribute of your second sword will?" Second Manor Master asked solemnly.

As expected!

Ling Feng raised his brows slightly and replied, "My second sword will is nothing special. It is simply the Reincarnated Sword Will."

"

Oh,

so it is the Reincar..."

Second Manor Master began responding casually, but before he finished the thought, realization struck. He shot to his feet and let out a roar so loud it seemed to tear through the sky. "What? The Reincarnated Sword Will?"

Among the ten attributed sword wills, the Reincarnated Sword Will stood at the very top. It had been lost for a thousand years. Even in the Dongling Immortal Pool, where geniuses gathered like clouds, not a single person in the past millennium had ever comprehended it.

No wonder Second Manor Master had never considered it. He simply could not bring himself to believe that this youth before him was the sole person in a thousand years to grasp it.

The only one in a thousand years!

In other words, Thousand-Year Sword!

For a long moment...

Then even longer...

Second Manor Master was unable to sit still. He bounced on his feet like an excited monkey, completely abandoned his usual dignity as a senior expert.

The Reincarnated Sword Will!

The legendary Reincarnated Sword Will!

And this brat says it's nothing special? "Nothing" your granddaddy!

After an eternity, Second Manor Master finally calmed down. He straightened his expression and bowed deeply toward Ling Feng. "Master Ling, please grant this old man some guidance!"

"

Uh...

Senior, please rise. You will break me at this rate!" Ling Feng twitched at the corner of his mouth. Did the old man really need to go this far?

"Master Ling, I beg you to agree!"

Second Manor Master spoke with utter seriousness. "If you are willing to instruct me, the inheritance cave heaven of Moxue Mountain Manor will be open to you without conditions. It holds our three greatest divine skills, and if you are willing, all of it will be yours to study!"
