Chapter 149: Successor of Flash Sword Sect? Pass it to your sister!

  Everyone also perked up their ears to listen, the power of Jinling Swordsmanship, they knew it too, although not top-notch, but absolutely very powerful, now being broken by this young man with one hand, I'm sure this person's attainments in swordsmanship far surpass everyone.

  Xia Lin glanced at the crowd, then calmly said that one sentence that sounds incredibly arrogant in any situation: "The world's martial arts, only speed is invincible! Your sword, too slow."

  Everyone was shocked, the speed of Jinling Swordsmanship was actually slower?

  Jin Ming's face suddenly turned solemn, recalling the words his master had once said to him at home: "The Jinling Sword Technique emphasizes speed, but your sword is too slow. Once you encounter someone faster than you, you will undoubtedly die."

  He had been somewhat resentful all along, but at this moment he suddenly realized and admired saying: "The host has said the same thing before, and the senior is indeed a master of swordsmanship. I am impressed."

  The head of the Jin family also said the same thing?

  Everyone's eyes lit up, doesn't that mean the swordsmanship of this person in front of us is almost on par with the master of the Jin family? Indeed, as expected of a senior swordsman, this strength is terrifying.

  "What a wonderful phrase, 'the fastest under the heavens, unmatched!'!" The middle-aged man sitting alone on that side finally put down his bowl and chopsticks, looking at Xia Lin and saying, "To be able to say such a profound phrase, you must have extraordinary cultivation. I am Luo Badao, may I ask your esteemed name?"

  "Robber! It's actually him?"

  "That guy who founded the Overlord Sword Dao?"

  "Frightening, isn't it said that he has already entered the Return to Origin realm? Could it be that this person not only has a high attainment in swordsmanship but also has entered the Return to Origin realm?"

  Xia Lin smiled slightly, glanced at the person, and with a change in his expression, he could step into the second stage of Qingyun at any time. His strength was not ordinary. If martial skills were not considered, he could beat this person to the point of explosion. However, if it were a famous swordsmanship competition that only allowed the use of swords... the one who would be beaten to explosion would probably be him.

  At this time, he was caught by him, and it seemed that he had already guessed that he would not use swordsmanship.

  Xia Lian raised an eyebrow and said with a nonchalant tone: "I am Jiang Li, this is just a trivial skill, not worth mentioning."

  "Jiang Li, what a great name. But if even your swordsmanship isn't worth mentioning, wouldn't we already be ashamed?" Luo Ba sighed. "I have the confidence to defeat him with one move. However, I don't have the confidence to break through his sword technique, to grasp the weakest point of the Golden Ridge Sword among countless techniques and instantly counterattack it. This talent, I admit I don't possess."

  Xia's mouth twitched slightly at the corner of her lips.

  "Look at this young man's swordsmanship, it's so high, yet his hands don't have any calluses, and they're so white and clean, completely unlike a man's hands. I've heard that in legend, there's a school of swordsmen called the Flashing Sword. Their swords are all about speed, making you unable to tell where the sword comes from or where it disappears."

  "It is said that every disciple of the Flash Sword Sect soaks their hands in spiritual grass and jade fat for an hour every day to maintain their perfect and flawless hands, thereby exerting the maximum power of their swordsmanship. So if I'm not mistaken, sir, you must be the successor of the Flash Sword Sect."

  Luobo Road is full of words.

  Summer is stunned.

  He was really stunned.

  Break the Jinling Swordsmanship, break your sister! I just saw it rushing over. Just grabbed it, as a cultivator of Qingyun's Second Change, if I can be injured by this Condensed Sea Peak, there will be ghosts.

  Who would have thought that with just one grab, I'd actually grabbed so many doors.

  The guess afterwards made Xia Lin admire him even more.

  That damn Flash Sword Style is out again, bro. Although you're a strong swordsman, don't randomly give others the title of "Door Master", okay?

  Xia Lin pretended to smile casually, neither denying nor admitting this point.

  Maintaining mystery is necessary.

  "Little brother has arrived, are you here to participate in the Famous Swordsmen Convention?" asked Luo Badao.

  "It's inevitable." Xia Lin nodded, "Such a grand occasion, can't be missed."

  "Haha, with Xiao Ge's strength, entering the top ten is absolutely no problem, and he will definitely make a name for himself and be known to the world." Luo Ba said with a smile, apparently acknowledging Xia Lin's swordsmanship level, but not his own strength.

  For kendo practitioners, skipping levels is a common occurrence.

  While Ning Hai and Guiyuan are at the peak, there is still a gap between them. Being able to easily defeat Ning Hai may not be enough when facing Guiyuan's realm.

  Xia Lin did not refute him, his intention was to make a name for himself.

  Make a name for yourself, let Jianjia pay attention to you, and knowing that there is such a genius is enough. This way, in the future, you can also ask for higher chips and mix into the sword pool.

  After staying in the inn for a while, Xia Lin booked a room and left. The purpose had been achieved, so there was no need to be surrounded by everyone like a monkey.

  After signing up for Jianjia, Xia Lin went to find someone - the only person he was familiar with here, Huo Jian.

  Huo Jian's location is not hard to find, just ask anyone and they'll know. In a small courtyard on the northernmost side of Jianye City lives a ruthless and cunning swordsmanship expert. Although his reputation isn't very good, his formidable strength is evident. The so-called "teasing sister" incident from back then also became a legend about his bold and unyielding personality, which attracted many young and enthusiastic disciples to come and pay their respects, but now, not one of them has succeeded.

  When Xia Lin arrived at the gate, she saw such a scene. More than ten young people were kneeling in front of the small courtyard, begging to be accepted as apprentices, and the youngest among them was only twelve years old.

  Some people around were pointing and staring, but it seemed like they had gotten used to it.

  "Look, the one in charge, Ye Jian, has been kneeling for a year."

  "Yes, even if it were just a few days ago when Master Huo passed away, I would still be kneeling here. This perseverance is unmatched by anyone."

  "Yes, Ye Jian himself has exceptional talent, I don't know what he's wasting his time here for, even when Jian Jia took him as a disciple, he didn't go."

  "Who knows? Let's just acknowledge that Hao is a senior. However, when Hao came back the other day, his strength was even more terrifying."

  Listening to the discussions around him, Xia Lin smiled calmly: "Heh, it seems that Huo Jian's mix-up wasn't so bad after all."

  Following the gaze of the crowd, Xia Lin saw the young man kneeling in the middle, about 18 years old, with a handsome face and a hint of youthfulness, but also revealing a strong and unyielding spirit. Although he was kneeling there, his whole body exuded an air of pride and dignity.

  What a young man!

  Xia's eyes shone brightly in front of him, his momentum was excellent, and his sharpness was fully exposed. This young man was simply born for the sword.

  If possible, Xia Lin wouldn't mind taking on such a talented apprentice. However, after some consideration, although this young man was only at the Condensing Sea initial stage, his attainments in swordsmanship might not be something he could compare to, and it wasn't certain who would surpass whom in the end.

  "Hey, little brother, here to pay respects?" A big face suddenly popped out, startling Xia Lin, and when he looked up, he saw a sly-looking middle-aged man staring at him with a cunning gaze.

  "Who are you?" Xia Lin asked in confusion.

  "Heh heh, I'm Xia Zhangsan, a native of Jianye City. I've lived near Senior Hao for ten years now. If anyone knows about Senior Hao's news, it's gotta be me." The middle-aged man said with a proud face.

  "Oh?" Xia Lin came over with interest, "Tell me about it."

  A middle-aged man chuckled and rubbed his hands together a couple of times.

  Summer arrived suddenly, and he directly threw out ten taels of silver to him, "Speak."

  "Alright." The middle-aged man smiled and put away the silver, ten taels! Usually, those who come to pay respects can give one tael at most, this is a big client indeed.

  "Huo Qianbei loved to eat spinach, the kind that absolutely didn't have any salt added. Huo Qianbei washed his face twice a day and was extremely fond of cleanliness. What Huo Qianbei liked most was Xiao Ye from Yihong Courtyard..." The middle-aged man started talking non-stop.

  Xia Lin Ting was stunned.

  What the heck is this?

  He originally thought that this middle-aged man would reveal some so-called apprenticeship conditions, or something like that. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be this information. Also, although Huo Jian is not very old, he should be at least in his thirties, right? What's wrong with him going to the brothel...

  "Halt!"

  Xia Lin hastily interrupted him, "That's not what I want to hear."

  The middle-aged man said with some dissatisfaction, "Then what do you want to hear?"

  "It's about finding a master, like that Ye Jian, why hasn't he succeeded in finding one yet?" Xia Lin asked.

  Who would have thought that the middle-aged man would look at him with a face full of disdain, "If I had known, I would have gone to worship as a teacher and even sold you materials. You young people really don't know what's good for you. So arrogant and ambitious, wanting to achieve something by worshipping as a teacher, but not knowing how to extract the essence from these small things, and then knowing how to win over Master Huo's favor. Don't you understand that you have to start from the smallest things?"

  Helpless shaking his head, Xia Lin finally understood that this guy was a professional - scammer.

  It should be similar to when I took the English exam before, those rip-off training classes, damn it, didn't expect to be ripped off in my previous life, and this time, I was ripped off again with the same trick.

  Fortunately, Xia Lin didn't care about those few taels of silver, so he simply ignored him.

  Jian Xia Lin stopped talking, and the middle-aged man said: "Considering your generosity, I'll give you a reminder. The distant door of Master Huo has sword energy attached to it, and no one can open it except for him. Ordinary people will be blown away when they approach, but if someone tries to force their way in, there's only death."

  Xia Lin shook her head slightly and walked forward.

  This step, however, drew everyone's attention over.

  "Look, another one coming to pay respects."

  "These poor young people, what's wrong with them, Elder Huo has made it clear that he doesn't accept disciples."

  "Hey, where there's sincerity, even metal and stone will yield."

  Xia Lin stepped forward and walked to where the disciples were kneeling, looked at them for a moment, and unexpectedly received several hostile glances from some young people, suddenly becoming speechless.

  These little guys, haven't even taken their master yet and they're already on guard against opponents.

  Xia Lin seems to have forgotten that if he didn't consider his past life, he was also a young guy. Unfortunately, adding up dozens of years, he is much more mature than these people.

  P.S: Wishing all book friends a happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
