Patriarch Qiu's eyes suddenly widened. He was not surprised by the young man's handsomeness, but by his age, and the aura that did not match his age.
Less than 20 years old, with the Psychic Force at the peak of the third realm …
"You are …" Patriarch Qiu murmured.
Hayashi River had already put on his hood. "Patriarch Qiu, a week's time to practice the [Tidal Floating Image Sword] should be more than enough for me."
"I will replace Qiu Jinxuan as the successor of the [Tidal Floating Image Sword], and the successor of Mo Qi's first blade. I don't think this is a breach of contract? "
"But if I represent the Qiu Family and announce to the world that the Qiu Family is allied with the Redbud Organization, then Patriarch Qiu will bear the consequences."
Patriarch Qiu was a little dazed, then smiled and nodded heavily. "Why not? If you can really do it, the Qiu Family will show enough sincerity."
"But words are no guarantee. Go study the sword marks on the stone tablet first, and see how long you can take."
"If you can understand the sword marks in a day, then we will talk about this plan."
As he spoke, Patriarch Qiu leaped out of the window and floated outside like a falling leaf.
Lin Chuan moved, and he followed after them.
As the two of them flew out of the building, several figures appeared in the shadows.
"Guard this place!"
Patriarch Qiu waved his hand.
Several figures bowed at the same time and disappeared into the darkness.
In a moment, the two came to Patriarch Qiu's courtyard. Hayashi River sat cross-legged in the courtyard, looking at the stone tablet not far away, and began to meditate.
Hayashi River had already studied the sword marks on the stone tablet when the Qiu Family was choosing their successor.
But he still had to put on an act. After all, he had to wait until daybreak to fully comprehend it.
…
The next day, morning.
Hayashi River was no longer in the courtyard. He had already entered the secret room to study the advancement of the [Tidal Floating Image Sword].
Patriarch Qiu sat on a chair, basking in the sun. His ears twitched from time to time, and he could clearly hear the movements in the secret room.
Old Patriarch Qiu looked at the steward standing at the side and asked, "Grandmaster Barce, Hayashi River, is everything alright over there?"
Qiu Da bowed and smiled, "Family Head, you also know that the life of a mechanic isn't good or bad. It's just staying in the laboratory all day. After the competition, Master Barce and Mr. Hayashi River stayed in their respective labs for the entire day. "
Thinking of the mechanical genius Hayashi River, and then thinking of the martial prodigy in the secret chamber, Old Patriarch Qiu sighed, "Ai … I'm really getting old. In the past, I created the [Tidal Floating Image Sword], thinking that among the countless geniuses in the Empire, I would stand at the top. "
"It's already incredible for those juniors to be able to comprehend sixty percent of the Floating Tidal Image Sword. Now, it seems that I was too arrogant. The younger generation is too outstanding … "
"The more outstanding he is, isn't it better for the Qiu Family?" Head Butler Qiu bowed.
Old Patriarch Qiu nodded slightly, his fingers lightly tapping on the armrest of the chair as he muttered, "Nanluo City has been chaotic these two days, and Jinxuan has been attacked. Those people must think that the Qiu Family is finished. They probably can't hold it in any longer."
Squinting, looking at the sun in the clouds, Old Patriarch Qiu said softly, "Let me see who wants the Qiu Family to die …"
…
In the secret chamber.
Hayashi River stood quietly, looking at the patterns on the four walls. These were not patterns of sword moves.
The [Tidal Floating Image Sword] did not have a sword technique. After Old Patriarch Qiu created this sword technique, he had cultivated it to great success.
But he had first created the sword intent, and then the sword moves. As for the sword technique …
When Old Patriarch Qiu's strength was at its peak, he suffered a crushing defeat, and his realm dropped. Thus, the summary of the sword technique was delayed.
The patterns on the walls of the secret chamber were actually countless sword scars left by Old Patriarch Qiu when he used to practice.
Being in the secret chamber, Hayashi River seemed to be able to feel the tide-like surging sword momentum. But, in the blink of an eye, the sword momentum was like a shadow, difficult to capture.
Observing the countless scars on the wall, he naturally did not need to comprehend the [Shadow of Void Bones].
In his personal mechanical workshop, Hayashi River, through the [Shadow of Void Bones], was carefully observing the patterns on the wall.
"[Tidal Floating Image Sword], if I can use this sword technique to cultivate the sword sense, it's not bad …"
The pattern of the eyeball appeared on Hayashi River's forehead. His eyes constantly flashed, and sword moves constantly appeared in his mind. It was still very blurry, but he had already vaguely grasped the sequence.
"You little brat, why did you make the [Shadow of Void Bones] look so handsome?"
Suddenly, Mossy Bone's voice sounded in his ear. Disturbed, Hayashi River immediately withdrew from his state of comprehension.
"So what if I look like that? It's not that handsome … it can't even compare to my real body … "Hayashi River curled his lips.
Mossy Bone spat. This brat's ability to lie through his teeth was really getting better and better.
The appearance of the [Shadow of Void Bones] was simply too handsome. This was not something that Hayashi River's original appearance could compare to.
"Since I'm going to be the spokesperson of the Redbud Organization, I naturally have to look more perfect to match the weight of an ancient organization, right?"
Hayashi River thought for a while and said thus.
Mossy Bone was silent for a while and did not refute. He sighed and said, "If we really talk about handsome, my appearance when I was alive was still the most perfect! At that time, the boundary between the eastern and western continents was not so clear, and I was known as the top of the list of the most perfect men on the continent!?
"If I had known, you would have followed my appearance …"
Hayashi River secretly sneered. A guy who had died for god knows how many years was saying how handsome he was when he was alive, and that he could charm thousands of girls. Could these words be believed?
Of course not!
Who knew if the appearance that Mossy Bone made was the one he had when he was alive? The history of that era had long been unable to be verified, and no matter what he said, it could not be refuted.
"Meow …"
Blue Kitty also meowed, agreeing with Mossy Bone's words.
Hayashi River's face darkened, and he pointed at the A.I. and Blue Kitty and scolded, "Don't disturb me while I'm comprehending. There's only one week, and time is tight! Don't make trouble on the side … "
Then, Hayashi River calmed his mind, got rid of all distracting thoughts, and focused on comprehending the sword technique.
Half a day later …
In the manor of the Qiu family, in a secret room, there was a sword aura appearing around the body of the [Shadow of the Void Bone]. Under the infusion of powerful heart yuan qi, there were faint sword shadows circling around his body.
This scene made the Qiu Family Head, who had been paying attention to the situation in the secret room, a little dazed. In half a day, the [Tidal Floating Image Sword] went from beginner to advanced. This speed was unimaginably fast.
In fact, the Qiu Family Head did not know that the current state of Hayashi River's real body was even more shocking.
In the personal mechanical workshop, in the laboratory, Mossy Bone had already controlled the mechanical device to block this place.
Around Hayashi River's body, streaks of sword energy had already solidified, like flickering lights and passing shadows, and there was a faint sound of the tide.
"[Tidal Floating Image Sword], actually, I should first comprehend the floating image, then understand the tide, the sword force like the tide, the sword speed like the shadow …"
In his mind, the comprehension of this sword technique kept appearing, and the eyeball pattern on his forehead kept glowing, causing Hayashi River's thoughts to become clearer.
Bang!
In his body, the Psychic Force also started to circulate automatically, and as he comprehended the sword technique, the Psychic Force also started to increase.
The pendulum pattern on his chest also appeared, and it started to squeeze out Hayashi River's potential, rapidly increasing his strength.
Waves of roars sounded …
Waves of sword hums reverberated …
The sword energy around Hayashi River's body increased, faster and more condensed.
The Psychic Force in his body also circulated faster and stronger, and from time to time, condensed Heart Origin Channels appeared on his palms and feet.
Dong dong …
Waves of Psychic Force exploded from the Heart Origin Channels all over his body, and then turned into sword energy.
This was the comprehension of the sword technique, and it spurred on the cultivation of the Psychic Force …
For a martial artist, the epiphany during the cultivation of the sword technique would cause the Psychic Force to surge rapidly, like a period of eruption of the Psychic Force.
Suddenly, Hayashi River's arm shook, and the Psychic Force surged out. When it left his body, it turned into sword energy.
Slash … A thin sword energy pierced out, and it cut across the metal floor, leaving a mark that was three meters long.
This sword mark was already somewhat similar to the sword mark in the secret room.
Buzz buzz buzz …
As the finger sword was waved, from his organs, to his bones, to his flesh, to his skin … there were countless fine sword energies intertwining in Hayashi River's body, causing him immense pain from the inside out.
Whoosh!
The Blue Kitty jumped and scurried far away. It was terrified. If it had not run fast enough, it would have been cut by the sword energy.
Although this kind of sword technique did not seem to pose much of a threat to its body, who would be willing to be cut by a sword for no reason? Not the Blue Kitty.
"Sword energy tempering the body!?"
Mossy Bone almost cried out. If not for the fact that he was afraid of disturbing Hayashi River's cultivation, he would have cried out loud.
It had only been half a day, and Hayashi River's cultivation of the sword technique had reached the stage of tempering the body with the sword technique.
This was something that many talented swordsmen would spend three to five years, or even longer, to reach after they had truly grasped the basics of the sword technique.
Perhaps it was easier to reach the stage of tempering the body with the sword energy through the cultivation of the [Tidal Floating Image Sword], but this was too fast, ridiculously fast.
He did not know how the creator of the [Tidal Floating Image Sword], Patriarch Qiu, would react if he knew about this.
However, the [Phantom Bone Shadow] in the secret room naturally would not have the "sword energy tempering the body", but the sound of the sword energy whistling like the tide was enough to make one wonder.
Patriarch Qiu could not sit still in the courtyard any longer. He tiptoed to the outside of the secret room. He wanted to go in and see what was going on inside …
This sound was as if the cultivation of the [Tidal Floating Image Sword] was about to reach the next level.
This did not make sense!
As the creator of this sword technique, Patriarch Qiu knew very well how difficult it was to reach the next level.
He was prepared to wait for this mysterious Mister Bone to ask him about the difficulties of cultivation and answer him one by one. This way, he could be considered half a teacher to this young martial genius.
However, Patriarch Qiu was at a loss. He wanted to go in, but he was afraid of disturbing him.
"Let's wait for him to come out when he really encounters a problem in cultivation …"
Sighing, Patriarch Qiu turned and left.
