I Have A Sword

Chapter 78: Hugely Excessive

Ye Guan soon arrived at Mount Shenwu. There was a three-hundred-meter-tall tower at the summit of Mount Shenwu. It was a magnificent tower that pierced the clouds.

Ye Guan was about to walk into the tower, but a voice echoed behind him. “Young Lord Ye!”

Ye Guan turned around and saw a woman in the distance.

The woman was dressed in a light green robe, and a white sash across her waist wrapped and emphasized her elegant curves. Her long hair was tied neatly into a ponytail, and it was long enough to reach her bottom.

She was carrying a few scrolls in her hands.

Ye Guanzhi smiled sweetly at Ye Guan. Her smile was refreshing, making her give off a feeling similar to a spring breeze.

Ye Guan was on guard until he finally recognized the woman. “Lady Ye!”

Ye Guanzhi smiled and asked, “Are you up for a stroll with me, Young Lord Ye?”

Ye Guan nodded. “Sure!”

The two soon walked together down a path with the beautiful scenery of Mount Shenwu behind them. The greenery of Mount Shenwu swayed gently along with the gentle breeze, and Ye Guan could smell a sweet fragrance in the air.

Ye Guanzhi suddenly said, “Young Lord Ye, I’m about to leave the Zhongtu Divine Continent.”

Ye Guan was silent as he suddenly recalled Qin Feng’s words.

Ye Guanzhi made a sidelong glance at him and said, “If you’re willing, I can bring you over to the Main Guanxuan Academy. I’m sure you would grow even faster there!”

“We’re strangers, Lady Ye.” Ye Guan sounded serious as he asked, “Why are you helping me?”

Ye Guanzhi smiled and explained, “There are two reasons: the first reason is that you’re strong, and the second reason is that I cannot ignore injustice.”

Ye Guanzhi’s reply stunned Ye Guan, prompting him to stare at her deeply.

“Is it because of the An Clan and the Ancient Heavenly Dragon Clan?”

Ye Guanzhi was surprised.

“How did you know?” she asked.

Ye Guan replied, “A friend told me.”

“Are you sure you don’t want to go with me, Young Lord Ye?”

Ye Guan sighed and said, “If I said no, the An Clan and the Ancient Heavenly Dragon Clan would start targeting me, right?”

Ye Guanzhi nodded and said, “Yes, but I’m sure that they won’t dare to bother you any longer if you become the winner of the Destiny Contest!”

“I see…” said Ye Guan with a nod.

Ye Guanzhi came to a halt and sighed. “It seems that you’ve already made your decision, Young Lord Ye.”

Ye Guan wordlessly nodded.

Ye Guanzhi nodded as well and said, “I wish you all the best, then! I hope we’ll see each other again.”

With that, she turned around and walked away.

“Lady Ye!” Ye Guan called out.

Ye Guanzhi turned to look at Ye Guan.

Ye Guan sounded serious as he said, “I’ve never really believed in the Guanxuan Law, but you changed my mind! I believe that there are bad and good people anywhere, not to mention in the academy. However, I wish that there were more people like you in the academy.”

Ye Guanzhi smiled sweetly and said, “Thank you.”

Ye Guanzhi went silent after that. Moments later, she said hesitantly, “I would like to spar with you before I leave, Young Lord Ye. Can you humor me?”

A sparring? Ye Guan hurriedly replied, “Of course!”

Ye Guanzhi’s smile deepened, and she said, “Make your move!”

Ye Guan was taken aback.

“Right here?” he asked.

“Yes.” Ye Guanzhi nodded. “I want you to use your strongest sword move!”

Ye Guan seemed nervous as he stared at her.

“You might die…” he muttered.

Ye Guanzhi’s lips curled up slightly.

“Don’t worry, I have defensive spiritual artifacts up my sleeves. I won’t die that easily,” she said, reassuring him.

Upon hearing that, Ye Guan knew that he wouldn’t be able to convince her otherwise, so he could only warn her.

“Please be careful!” he exclaimed.

A sword made out of sword energy manifested in front of him.

The sword flew out and executed the Instant Death Strike, and it arrived in front of Ye Guanzhi’s nose in the blink of an eye.

Swoosh!

Ye Guan was proud of his Instant Death Strike, and he was confident that it could ignore the chasm between cultivation realms to kill cultivators three realms higher than him.

However, Ye Guan was stupefied by the scene that had unfolded in front of him. He was unwittingly transfixed on Ye Guanzhi’s fingers because the latter managed to stop his Instant Death Strike with just two fingers.

Ye Guanzhi released the sword moments later and said, “Young Lord Ye, your sword is faster than even cultivators three realms higher than you, but it has a critical flaw that you have overlooked.”

Ye Guan eagerly asked, “Can you please tell me what it is?”

Ye Guanzhi said, “A domain!”

“A domain?” asked Ye Guan with a frown.

Ye Guanzhi nodded and explained, “Yes, a domain. The space in front of me is under my control through my domain. My domain instantly suppressed your sword the moment it entered my domain.

”The spacetime gravity of my domain is fifty times heavier than the spacetime gravity of the world, and such tremendous weight instantaneously suppressed your sword.

“In other words, the critical flaw of your swordsmanship is that your swordsmanship is still too weak to shatter a domain. It’s still bound by the rules of spacetime. If you want to shatter a domain through speed, you must be fast enough to shatter the rules of spacetime.”

The rules of spacetime? Ye Guan exclaimed, “Spacetime has rules? I thought only spacetime gravity had rules…”

Ye Guanzhi smiled. “Of course! Your sword couldn’t have gotten so fast if you had zero comprehension of spacetime. You have already comprehended the rules of spacetime and spacetime gravity, but you’re still under its influence. If you want to become even faster, you have to break the rules.

”A cultivator capable of breaking the rules is a force to be reckoned with; not even Major Tribulation Realm cultivators can stop you by then!”

Break the rules! Ye Guan pondered over her words.

Ye Guanzhi blinked and added, “Actually, it’s not that difficult. You can break the rules by shattering the boundaries of spacetime.”

Shattering the boundaries of spacetime... Ye Guan created a sword out of his sword energy.

He thrust it forward, shattering the space in front of him.

Wait, no, that was wrong… He tried it again, but the space in front of him only ripped like water. The sword ended up merging with the space in front of him. I don’t think that was right…

Ye Guan tried it again, and the sword vanished upon piercing the space in front of it.

Ye Guanzhi’s jaw almost fell to the ground in disbelief. She rubbed her eyes and blinked again, but the sword was still missing. In other words, the sword had shattered the boundaries of spacetime.

Did he just break the rules in front of me?! Ye Guanzhi stared at Ye Guan, and a torrential wave of emotions overwhelmed her thoughts.

A few moments later, she composed herself and asked, “Young Lord Ye, does your family know how talented you are?”

Ye Guan chuckled and asked, “Lady Ye, did I manage to break the rules?”

Ye Guanzhi nodded. “Yes, you did!”

Ye Guan grinned. He was overjoyed. He had felt a wall when it came to becoming even faster while he was cultivating in the Immortal Treasures Pavilion, and he had no idea what to do to overcome the wall.

However, Ye Guanzhi had just helped him scale the wall.

Ye Guan had already reached his limits, so it didn’t take that long for him to comprehend Ye Guanzhi’s words. He simply needed an opportunity, and Ye Guanzhi gave it to him.

Ye Guan cupped his fists with gratitude and said, “Thank you!”

Ye Guanzhi smiled warmly and said, “The glory belongs to you alone, Young Lord Ye.”

Ye Guan chuckled and said, “Your advice helped me overcome the conundrum. If it wasn’t for your advice, who knows how long would I have to spend mulling over it?”

Ye Guanzhi chortled and responded, “You truly are an outstanding man, Young Lord Ye. I’m already looking forward to our next meeting. All right, I’ll see you again, Young Lord Ye.”

Ye Guan cupped his fists together and said, “I’ll see you again!”

Ye Guanzhi nodded before soaring to the skies and disappearing into the horizon.

Ye Guan stared deeply at the horizon and muttered to himself, “Lady Ye isn’t just kind, but she’s an impressive cultivator as well, Master Pagoda.”

Little Pagoda agreed and replied, “I agree; she is indeed talented.”contemporary romance

“Master Pagoda, what kind of talent was the Sword Master? Was he a domineering talent who surpassed his predecessors and served as the role model of the later generations?”

Little Pagoda thought about it for quite a while before saying, “Not really.”

Ye Guan frowned. “Is that so?”

“Yeah.”

Ye Guan’s curiosity was piqued, so he asked, “He’s the Sword Master… If he’s not at least as talented as what I described, what kind of talent is he?”

Little Pagoda said, “You misunderstood me.”

Bewildered, Ye Guan asked, “What do you mean?”

Little Pagoda calmly explained, “Talented individuals belong to many different categories since time immemorial, and no one had ever reached the highest category of talent before the Sword Master’s advent.

”The categories were revised to suit the Sword Master’s talent upon his advent, and do you know the name of his very own category?”

Ye Guan asked, “What is it?”

Little Pagoda replied, “Hugely excessive!”

Ye Guan was stunned.

However, Little Pagoda didn’t allow him to speak. “Don’t think about it anymore; just go ahead and challenge the martial list!”

Ye Guan obliged. He shook his head and dismissed the useless thoughts.

“All right!” he muttered into the air before turning around and heading for the tower.

…

Ye Guanzhi was on his journey toward a massive starship in space.

The old woman was flying next to her, and she asked, “Are you interested in Ye Guan, my lady?”

Ye Guanzhi smiled. “I suppose.”

The old woman asked once more, “Why did you spar with Ye Guan when you refused Dongli Mo’s request for a spar?”

Ye Guanzhi chuckled and replied, “Well, it’s all because I like handsome young men with manners, and he was quite handsome and well-mannered!”

The old woman was at a loss for words. It seems that I’m truly living in a world where appearance matters as well, not just strength!
