"It's the Clarity Pool Ancestral Sword!"
"It's really the Clarity Pool Ancestral Sword. This is the first time I'm seeing it!"
The Clarity Pool Ancestral Sword was the cornerstone treasure of the Clarity Pool Sword Sect. It was usually in the hands of the sect master or the Grand Elder. Ordinary disciples naturally had no chance of seeing it. Only core disciples like Jian Xiaoshuang and Jian Fenghong had a chance of seeing it or even using it.
Jian Xiaoshuang and Jian Fenghong had indeed tried the Clarity Pool Ancestral Sword. Jian Fenghong did not have any outstanding performance when using the Clarity Pool Ancestral Sword. He was about the same as his master, Jian Buyi.
However, Jian Xiaoshuang was different. The reason why Jian Wufeng thought so highly of Jian Xiaoshuang at such a young age was mainly because the Clarity Pool Ancestral Sword was stronger in her hands than in Jian Wufeng's.
This made Jian Buyi somewhat uncomfortable. He and his disciple were completely inferior to Jian Wufeng and his disciple. This meant that the Clarity Pool Ancestral Sword was destined to be passed down to Jian Xiaoshuang in the next generation.
Of course, even if Jian Buyi was displeased, he knew the bigger picture. He would not go overboard just to vie for the Clarity Pool Ancestral Sword.
"My young friend, Yi Yun, I'll lend you this Clarity Pool Ancestral Sword to test it out. Sealed within the Clarity Pool Ancestral Sword is immense power. Only a sword genius can use it."
As Jian Wufeng spoke, the Clarity Pool Ancestral Sword in his hand flew up and shot at Yi Yun!
"Pa!"
Yi Yun firmly grabbed the sword hilt. With the Clarity Pool Ancestral Sword in hand, Yi Yun immediately felt an indescribable sense of boundlessness.
Without a doubt, it was a peerless sword. However, Yi Yun could vaguely sense a flaw in the sword. It was as though the sword had suffered heavy damage in the past.
"This sword …"
Yi Yun faltered slightly. He could vaguely sense that the sword's origins were extraordinary. However, since it was the cornerstone treasure of the Clarity Pool Sword Sect, Yi Yun naturally did not think too much about it.
With the Clarity Pool Ancestral Sword in hand, Yi Yun felt the sword intent in his body surge.
"My young friend, Yi Yun, there is a sword assessment array on Attendance Sword Platform. This sword assessment array was discovered by my Clarity Pool Sword Sect in an ancient ruin. It has been restored by generations of array masters. Now, it can be considered an intricate array."
"The sword testing array can be controlled by one or many people. Even if it's the examiner or the host of the array, the sword intent and laws they've comprehended can be perfectly projected onto a sword clone through the array. Using sword clones to fight has two advantages. Firstly, the array's energy is the same, and the clones themselves have the same strength. It's absolutely fair. Secondly, one can use the sharpest sword arts without worrying about getting injured."
Jian Wufeng introduced Attendance Sword Platform. It was impossible to tell how strong Yi Yun was just by demonstrating his sword moves. He needed an opponent.
"Then, the host of the sword assessment array …" Just as Jian Wufeng was about to appoint someone to preside over the sword array, Jian Fenghong had already taken a step forward. He said, "Sect Master Martial Uncle, I'm willing to preside over the sword assessment array."
"Oh?"
Jian Wufeng looked at Jian Fenghong. The strength of the sword assessment array depended entirely on the host's Sword Dao and nomological insights. It had little to do with one's cultivation level.
Jian Fenghong had cultivated in the way of the sword for more than four centuries. His achievements in Sword Dao were considered pretty good, so he could be the host.
"Sure."
Jian Wufeng agreed.
Following that, he waved his hand and two nine-starred sword platforms appeared on the periphery of Attendance Sword Platform. The sword platforms were covered in inscriptions and there were nine swords embedded in them.
Jian Fenghong looked at the nine-starred sword platform before looking at Yi Yun. A smile suffused across his lips.
Humans were prone to jealousy. Jian Fenghong was not someone with a bad character. However, the Clarity Pool Sect Master was praising a youth younger than him in front of his junior sister, whom he admired. As long as Jian Fenghong was not a saint, he would more or less feel uncomfortable.
The Attendance Sword Platform was an excellent opportunity for him. He wanted to take Yi Yun down a peg.
Jian Fenghong unsheathed his two-handed sword and stood on the nine-starred sword platform. He looked at Yi Yun and said, "Get on the sword platform and use all your strength. Don't blame me for bullying you. Since Sect Master Martial Uncle thinks so highly of you, you must have some ability. I will not show any mercy."
"I do not need a sword platform." Yi Yun gave a simple reply. His reply made Jian Fenghong's brows prick up. "What?"
"I'm more used to fighting with my own hands." As Yi Yun spoke, he walked straight to the middle of Attendance Sword Platform.
"Fighting with your own hands?"
Jian Fenghong frowned. In a battle between warriors, unless the difference in strength was huge, such as Yi Yun and Jian Xiaoshuang, victory could be easily determined by Yi Yun controlling the might of his sword moves. If the difference in strength was close, it was very likely that one party would be injured.
If Jian Fenghong were to use his sword avatar and Yi Yun were to fight in person, Jian Fenghong would not be injured even if he lost. However, Yi Yun was different. If he were to be injured by the sword Qi, it was not impossible for him to be bedridden for half a month.
"I would like to accompany you in a personal battle but my cultivation level far exceeds yours. My foundation is also deeper than yours. It would be very difficult for me to suppress my cultivation level to the same level as yours in a personal battle. I will still use my sword avatar to fight. My cultivation level will be the same as yours. It will be absolutely fair. I'm warning you, I will not hold back. Don't blame me if you are seriously injured. "
Jian Fenghong was displeased by Yi Yun's nonchalant reply. He planned on making Yi Yun suffer a little.
In the next moment, the white light enveloped Yi Yun as Jian Fenghong's figure disappeared into it.
At the same time, the Clarity Pool Sword Sect disciples around Yi Yun, who were only a few hundred feet away, seemed to be pulled away. All that was left in their vision were figures the size of rice grains. The smooth stone wall that stood in front of Attendance Sword Platform was the same. Instantly, Yi Yun's surroundings became empty.
And on the empty Attendance Sword Platform, a figure appeared. It was an avatar formed from sword Qi. It was none other than Jian Fenghong.
All the Clarity Pool Sword Sect disciples were watching this scene. The memory of Jian Fenghong presiding over the testing of the sword array's might was still fresh in the minds of the disciples present. After all, Jian Fenghong was the eldest senior brother. He had been an examiner quite a number of times. In addition, he was always strict. It was unknown how many people had been tortured to the brink of death on Attendance Sword Platform. Only Junior Sister Jian Xiaoshuang would be taken care of when she went on stage.
"Where's your sword stance? I'm about to attack! "Before Jian Fenghong attacked, he specially warned Yi Yun. He was rather confident.
At that moment, Yi Yun did not have any stance from his body. When warriors fought, they had to first accumulate their strength. They had to be in peak combat condition. Sometimes, just accumulating strength was enough to determine the victor.
Yi Yun did not accumulate strength, so his subsequent attacks were naturally much weaker than the accumulated strength.
"Whether I accumulate strength or not is my business. Why do you care so much? I've been practicing martial arts for so many years and I rarely fight an opponent of my level. Why do I need to accumulate strength against an opponent of my level? "
