Unlike his predecessors, Tian Xin was unique in the sense that he was born with all of his previous life’s mories intact. This gave him an unfathomable advantage, allowing him to train with all of his previous knowledge since the day he was born.
Because of this, Tian Xin was always considered a prodigy no matter where he went. Moreover, not only was Tian Xin born with all of his mories, but he also ca from a renowned background, one that was known for creating many powerful swordmasters.
One could consider Tian Xin being born with a diamond spoon in his mouth. Yet, despite this, he did not rely on his family even in the slightest and left ho at a young age to travel the Nine Heavens.
During his journey, Tian Xin quickly gained fa as an undefeated and mysterious warrior, his identity shrouded in mystery beneath the mask he always wore.
He encountered Jin Xi early in his journey. After being defeated by him, she chose to follow him to get stronger, whether he liked it or not.
Although he ignored her in the beginning, they eventually beca sothing akin to master and disciple. Of course, Tian Xin never admitted that he was teaching her, only giving her cryptic advice.
It didn’t take long for Jin Xi to develop feelings for Tian Xin, and in ti, he began to feel the sa. Yet, neither of them ever voiced their hearts. Though Jin Xi’s affection often showed in her actions, quite obvious at tis, she never found the courage to confess.
As for Tian Xin, while he was aware of Jin Xi’s feelings, he chose to feign ignorance.
Together, they honed their swordsmanship. While Jin Xi struggled to achieve Enhanced Sword Aura, Tian Xin had long mastered Enhanced Sword Aura and was already looking to reach the next realm—the level of Supre Sword Aura.
As Yuan recalled his experiences as Tian Xin, Enhanced Sword Aura naturally emanated from his body. Since the strength of one’s Weapon Aura stems primarily from comprehension, his Enhanced Sword Aura beca sharper and toward perfection at an unfathomable rate.
In the blink of an eye, a whole month has passed since Yuan arrived at the Holy Sword Clan.
*Knock* *Knock*
Yuan opened his eyes when soone suddenly knocked on the door.
"About ti," he sighed out loud, assuming Li Bowen had finally arrived to inform him that the training ground was ready.
He went to open the door a mont later, only to be surprised that it wasn’t Li Bowen who’d knocked on the door.
"Uh... how can I help you?" Yuan asked the beautiful young woman standing outside his door.
This woman had long silver hair and red eyes that glowed faintly. Unexpectedly, it was the Holy Sword Maiden.
The Holy Sword Maiden didn’t respond right away. Instead, she glanced into his room to confirm he was alone. Then, with a slightly puzzled expression, she said, "I happened to be passing by when I sensed Enhanced Sword Aura coming from this room. I may be mistaken, but... was that you?"
The Holy Sword Maiden spoke with a tone of disbelief. The Enhanced Sword Aura she had sensed was so powerful, it could only be compared to that of a Sword Emperor—yet the man before her was clearly just a mortal.
"Yes, it was mine. I was training. Sorry, I didn’t realize it was leaking outside. I hope that didn’t bother you."
"How...?" she muttered in a low voice before asking in a loud and clear voice, "How did you achieve that level of Enhanced Sword Aura?"
"I have already reached the level of Supre Sword Aura, but my Enhanced Sword Aura couldn’t be compared to it. Can you also use Supre Sword Aura?"
"No, I can’t."
"That doesn’t make any sense. Can you explain how you did it?"
"I don’t know what to tell you... The strength of one’s weapon aura is based on their understanding, so..."
The Holy Sword Maiden frowned slightly and said, "Are you saying that you, who hasn’t even learned Supre Sword Aura, sohow has a better understanding than I?"
"Well, each level of Sword Aura carries its own depth of understanding," Yuan said. "So it’s possible for soone to grasp one level more profoundly than another."
"I know that! But it still doesn’t make sense! How can a mortal understand more than I, who is at the God Ascension Realm?!"
"..."
Yuan didn’t know what else to say, but he had a feeling that he’d get into trouble soon.
"Co with ," she suddenly said.
"I really shouldn’t... I was told to stay here by Elder Li," Yuan said.
"Do you know who I am?" she then asked.
He nodded and answered, "You’re the Holy Sword Maiden, right?"
"That’s right, and my authority within the Holy Sword Clan is only second to the Sword Emperors. Nothing will happen to you if you co with . I promise," she said.
"Okay..." Yuan responded with a stiff smile. It wasn’t Li Bowen he was concerned about. However, he couldn’t tell her that he was worried about getting involved with her, as that would definitely offend her.
Without saying another word, the Holy Sword Maiden turned around and began walking away. Seeing this, Yuan could only sigh inwardly and follow her.
They arrived at their destination a few minutes later. Unexpectedly, the Holy Sword Maiden brought him to the building with the tal wall. However, the place was empty.
Upon their arrival, the Holy Sword Maiden silently approached the wall, retrieving one of the Spirit-grade swords hanging nearby. She then stepped forward, positioning herself before the tal wall. After drawing a steady breath, she activated her Enhanced Sword Aura. In one graceful, fluid motion, she swung the sword, unleashing a streak of shimring aura that sliced through the air toward the wall.
When her Enhanced Sword Aura struck the wall, it carved a six-inch-deep gash into the tal, leaving a clear mark that stood out amid the countless faint scratches left by others.
Before Yuan could even say anything, the Holy Sword Maiden tossed her sword at him and said, "Your turn."
