Simultaneous Transmigration: Inheriting the Legacy of Myriad Worlds

Chapter 446 The Red Blade Rises, Qin Wins the King

Zhang Wennan, known as "Shadowless," remained silent for a moment.

It wasn't that he couldn't accept the fact that extraordinary geniuses could emerge from ordinary martial arts practitioners; Master Lu was a living example of that.

Moreover, Jiang Zhiwei being with Qin Sheng suggests that the latter is likely also a member of the Sword Washing Pavilion, as the Six Sword-wielding Sects do not recruit mediocre individuals.

But even genius has its limits. How can someone who is already thirteen years old and hasn't even completed the Hundred-Day Foundation Building be called a peerless genius or a master of swordsmanship?
Are you kidding me?

“Master Qin, this is not funny.” A martial arts school owner who didn’t get along with Qin’s father sneered.

“We know your son is good at swordsmanship, but he is only a few years old. It is already difficult for him to understand swordsmanship on his own. A good teacher and a good student... Ha, paving the way for him in such a way is too clumsy.”

Qin Sheng was a sword genius with amazing swordsmanship, a fact that was known to most people in the Zhaocheng martial arts community.

But even geniuses aren't omnipotent. You might be amazing yourself, but can you also teach others to be amazing?

You have to understand, the young master of Chifeng is only thirteen years old! Are you kidding me?!
"It's none of your business to interfere in the affairs of my Chifeng Martial Arts School," Qin's father snorted coldly, his tone extremely defiant.

My husband and I are both born with seven orifices, and we have the potential to reach nine in the future. My son's senior brother is a divine sword from beyond the heavens. Why should I have to put up with this?

At this moment, Master Mo of the Lianghe Martial Arts School secretly explained the situation to Zhang Wennan.

"Master Qin's son was born with an illness that made it difficult for him to cultivate, but he has loved and practiced swordsmanship since childhood, regardless of the weather or time of day. In terms of swordsmanship alone, he is indeed far superior to his peers, even many enlightened masters are not as good as him."

Zhang Wennan's doubts lessened slightly; it turned out he was a capable and determined young man, but he still found it hard to accept.

“Since Master Qin and Junior Sister Jiang have both said so, may I take a look at Junior Brother Qin’s sword?” Zhang Wennan said.

It can only be said that he truly deserves to be an outstanding disciple of a prestigious family; not only is he highly skilled in martial arts, but he also possesses impeccable demeanor.

Even if they didn't believe it in their hearts, they didn't openly deny or ridicule it, nor did they feel deceived, and simply walked away.

Based on this level of manners alone, Qin Sheng decided to give him a chance to fight.

"To be honest, I'm also quite interested in Brother Zhang, who's ranked twentieth on the list of experts," Qin Sheng said with a smile.
"Brother Zhang, please."

Zhiwei, I'm sorry, Junior Uncle, I have to make a name for myself first.

As the old saying goes, one should become famous as early as possible. You are older, so it's not too late to wait.

Zhang Wennan was taken aback, then burst into laughter.

His previous statement was merely an attempt to get Qin Sheng to demonstrate his swordsmanship, not a challenge to a duel.

Master Qin possesses seven orifices, and the two are only one minor realm apart. Without using their true qi cultivation, they can still barely exchange blows using only sword and saber techniques.

But this young master Qin...

What's the point of discussing the Eight Apertures and Foundation Building?
Even without using true qi, the difference in physical fitness renders even the most skillful swordsmanship useless. I can spot the flaws in ten moves of a Foundation Establishment cultivator at a glance!

Besides, Zhang Wennan couldn't bear the humiliation of competing with a child who hadn't even completed the Foundation Establishment stage; he'd be ridiculed if word got out.

“Junior Brother Qin, this is not appropriate,” Zhang Wennan politely declined.

"That's not quite right," Qin Sheng said with a smile.

“I believe Brother Zhang has heard my story and thinks that my cultivation is low, but in fact I have already completed the Foundation Establishment and have now opened my Eye Aperture.”

Having said that, Qin Sheng no longer concealed his aura and revealed himself to be a master of the Enlightenment stage!
Zhang Wennan: "..."

Just because you've opened your eye apertures, does that mean your cultivation level is already quite high?

Furthermore, you wouldn't even call me "senior brother."

"Senior Brother Zhang, don't underestimate the heroes of the world. You must know that there are always people more capable than you." Jiang Zhiwei said seriously, supporting her junior uncle from behind.

At first, Xiao Jiang felt confident of defeating Qin Sheng, then the odds shifted to a 50/50 chance, and after experiencing some things over the past two weeks, he has become less confident.

How dare you look down on Junior Uncle?

You'll regret it!
"You've actually figured it out? How could you have figured it out?!" someone exclaimed.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! You were still in the Foundation Establishment stage just over a month ago!"

Zhang Wennan remained unconvinced, but those who truly understood Qin Sheng's situation were practically kneeling in disbelief.

Breaking through three realms in just over a month is even more outrageous than Qin Sheng teaching eight, no, eighty young swordsmen.

"That's how we at the Sword Washing Pavilion are."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhiwei was immediately bewildered. The members of the Sword Washing Pavilion had collectively experienced a "surge" in their aptitude and a "great advancement" in their cultivation. Why wasn't she included in this? Had she been expelled from the sect?

Only after confirming that Qin Shengzhen's cultivation had indeed improved greatly in a short period of time did Zhang Wennan truly become interested.

"Okay." Zhang Wennan leaped down from the second-floor stands with a graceful and agile gait, demonstrating his exceptional lightness skill.

"Heroes don't ask about origins. I've always believed that there are many outstanding people among the common folk. Since Junior Brother Qin is so determined, then let's go."

Everyone here is a disciple of a top-tier power. Zhang Wennan took this opportunity to guide them. In any case, the Sword Washing Pavilion has no enmity with the Zhang family. It wouldn't hurt to mentor the younger generation. It would be a good story if word got out.

"Then please give me your guidance, Brother Zhang."

Qin Sheng smiled and leaped onto the arena, where he became the center of attention.

"Overestimating themselves," someone whispered.

"On the contrary, he at least had the courage to stand up." Others hold the opposite view.

"That's not the case; it's a reckless act."

"..."

Qin Sheng forgot these words as soon as he heard them, and didn't care at all; one cannot discuss ice with a summer insect.

"Junior Brother Qin, draw your sword." Zhang Wennan stood with one hand behind his back, displaying the demeanor of a master.

"I'd like to first take a look at the strength of the twentieth person on the Human Ranking," Qin Sheng said calmly.

Zhang Wennan laughed. So he wanted to experience the difference between him and me for himself?

All I can say is that their courage is commendable.

Then I'll grant your wish!

"Be careful."

Zhang Wennan didn't say anything more. He drew his Shadowless Blade, and a flash of light stunned the martial arts arena. Even the masters in the Enlightenment stage couldn't help but squint. It was too dazzling, as if it could cleave through people's consciousness and spirit.

"So strong! No wonder you're ranked in the top twenty!"

"This is a seed for outdoor shooting!"

The strike was so fast that it was invisible, but Zhang Wennan still didn't use his full strength. There was no need for it. He felt that Junior Brother Qin should have already glimpsed some of his strength.

I hope he's not too upset; I'm only human, after all...

"What?!!"

Just then, something incredible happened.

All of Zhang Wennan's thoughts vanished, his eyes seemed to pop out of their sockets, and gasps rose from the stands, causing the temperature in the training ground to rise suddenly.

Zhang Wennan's sharp longsword came to a steady stop in front of Qin Sheng. It wasn't that he stopped voluntarily, but rather that the blade was held in place by two fingers radiating golden light, preventing it from advancing any further.

Physical strength versus weaponry!

Qin Sheng felt the power emanating from his fingertips, nodded, and looked on with admiration.

"Ranked 20th, his reputation is well-deserved."

Zhang Wennan was so shocked that he lost control of his expression. "Two fingers blocked my knife? What kind of monster is this?"

"The Indestructible Vajra Divine Skill?!"

This is the most famous external martial arts technique in the real world.

"Of course I don't have any of Shaolin Temple's secret techniques."

Ding!
Qin Sheng flicked his finger, and a tremendous force was transmitted through the blade, sending Zhang Wennan flying backward in a staggering motion.

"Brother Zhang, I'm about to draw my sword. I'll only draw it once, so be careful."

Qin Sheng deliberately held back with that move, wanting to test the strength of a genius at the eighth level, so that he could control his power next and avoid killing Zhang Wennan.

Moreover, a real man never makes his first move.

铮！
As the Evening Star Sword was drawn, it seemed as if brilliant starlight was falling upon the world, creating a poignant and dreamlike feeling under the twilight.

boom!
A faint rumbling sound arose, like thunder or a landslide, and a wind howled across the training ground from who-knows-where, causing white robes to flutter.

Qin Sheng's eyes were deep and boundless, as high and distant as the starry sky, indifferent and calm, without a ripple.

At this moment, Qin Sheng's body was glowing, as if a divine sun had lifted the curtain, illuminating the world and annihilating all those who dared to disobey.

As the sword intent surged forth, everyone present, whether they were at the Foundation Establishment or Enlightenment stage, whether young or old, felt a sense of insignificance and trembled in their hearts. It was as if what stood on the arena was no longer human, but the supreme heaven, the eternal Dao, and the undying sun.

They couldn't even muster the thought of being enemies with him, and they even subconsciously looked away, not daring to look Qin Sheng in the eye. But even so, the divine sun was imprinted on their hearts, and their souls were captivated by it.

"Such sword intent!" Zhang Wennan was shocked.

He was absolutely certain that Qin Sheng had only opened his eye aperture, but you're saying this is just opening his eye aperture?
"To express my respect, I will use a deadly move; this is my courtesy to Brother Zhang." Qin Sheng finished speaking and drew his sword.

Against a backdrop of starlight, sword light emerges from the darkness, like a celestial sword, captivating all who behold it, leading them to their doom.

The sun shone with divine light!
Zhang Wennan was terrified. He did not sit idly by and wait for his death, which was also because Qin Sheng did not use his full will or power to suppress him.

You have to give people a chance to make a move.

As a direct descendant of the Zhang family of Longnan, Zhang Wennan naturally cultivated a divine skill that directly pointed to the Dharma body. Both his internal strength and killing moves were of the highest quality.

With a single strike, the light distorted, bringing a profound darkness and intense intent. This was a move capable of severing all nine orifices, yet at this moment, his blade was utterly powerless before the boy before him.

The speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness that they used to be so proud of were all rendered meaningless by Qin Sheng's Flying Immortal Sword, and were destroyed like dry leaves and decay.

Too slow, too biased, too soft!
The Flying Immortal Sword light arrived in the blink of an eye. Zhang Wennan attempted to dodge it with his profound movement techniques. The title "Shadowless" refers to both the sword and the person.

But it was still too slow. Before he could move, the Evening Star Sword had already reached his neck. Zhang Wennan couldn't help but close his eyes.

My life is over!

The cold air gave him goosebumps, but after waiting for a long time, Zhang Wennan did not feel any pain, and his head still hadn't fallen off.

I'm not dead?
Zhang Wennan opened his eyes and saw the Evening Star Sword pressed against his neck, 0.01 centimeters away from his skin, completely still. The power contained in the Flying Immortal Sword had dissipated like smoke, as if it had never existed.

"Sword, drawn, gone, I..."

Zhang Wennan's voice was hoarse as he uttered the name of the move Qin Sheng had used.

The Supreme Sword Scripture's Nine Killing Moves, including the Sword Emerges Without Self, is one of the most famous sword techniques in the Real World. Today, it has appeared in the hands of someone who has only opened their eyes!

What terrified Zhang Wennan the most was Qin Sheng's unparalleled control over the "Sword Without Self" technique.

He was able to stop the attack after unleashing this sword strike with his Enlightened Acupoint cultivation. Is this the kind of control one should have when mastering the "Sword Without Self" technique?
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he has completely mastered this move.

"Brother Zhang, you flatter me."

Qin Sheng's voice rang out as he sheathed his sword.

"You are the strongest genius I have ever encountered. I enjoyed this sparring session very much, and I hope to have the opportunity to fight you again in the future."

"The Chifeng Martial Arts School has prepared a small amount of wine. If you don't mind, Brother Zhang, you are welcome to stay and have a drink or two."

Qin Sheng turned around and left the arena under everyone's gaze. Everyone fell silent, and an unspeakable deathly silence descended upon the martial arts arena.

With only two apertures of cultivation, he instantly killed someone with eight apertures of cultivation. And the opponent was a top talent on the Human Ranking, not an ordinary martial arts practitioner.

This... feels like a dream.

Zhang Wennan stared intently at Qin Sheng's retreating figure until he was almost out of sight before finally asking:
"What kind of sword intent is that?"

"Heavenly Sword Intent"

Like the heavens and the Tao, it encompasses all things, overlooks all things, and suppresses all spirits.

"Truly deserving of the title, I admire you... Junior Brother Qin, I am no match for you."

Zhang Wennan sheathed his sword, and it was only then that he realized his hands were shaking from the blow.

He almost died just now. If Qin Sheng hadn't stopped, he would have been dead. This was the closest Zhang's prodigy had ever come to death.

Zhang Wennan closed his eyes, opened them after three breaths, and then turned and left.

He has experienced many battles for the top spot, with both wins and losses, and he can afford to lose.

But they stayed to drink...

My hands are shaking, I can't eat it.

Only after both sides of the battle had disappeared from sight did the uproar finally erupt.

"What did I just see? Young Master Qin defeated 'Shadowless' Zhang Wennan with a single sword strike! If he hadn't held back, Young Master 'Shadowless' would probably be dead by now!"

"Capturing a sharp weapon with two fingers, severing eight orifices with two orifices—unbelievable, it's as terrifying as a myth! Is this really the same person who suffered from a congenital disease?"

"That's the Sword of Selflessness! A killing move at the Dharma Body level! Although it's only a glimpse of its true nature, even Su Wuming, the Heavenly Sword Master, couldn't achieve this level back then!"

"I now believe that all the students at Chifeng Martial Arts School were taught by Master Qin. No one else has that ability."

"Wait a minute, if Young Master Qin defeated Young Master 'Shadowless,' doesn't that mean he'll also be on the list?"

"At thirteen years old, he has made it onto the list with only two acupoints of cultivation. How long has it been since we've seen such a thing? Even Heroine Lianjiang only managed to rank last on the list with four acupoints."

"I saw a blazing sun of martial arts rising slowly."

"..."

No one could remain calm after witnessing all of this; everyone expressed their feelings with strong words.

In fact, people from the Six Doors of the Great Jin Dynasty came to watch the Zhaocheng Martial Arts Tournament, and the Heaven, Earth and Man Rankings were formulated and released by this department.

At this moment, the experts from the Six Doors exchanged glances, all utterly horrified.

They are from the Six Doors, who monitor the world, possess a wealth of intelligence, have seen countless geniuses, and have experienced all sorts of situations.

That's not the case right now.

"This matter must be reported immediately!"

The people from the Six Doors left the Chifeng Martial Arts School immediately to deliver the news to the Six Doors headquarters in the capital as quickly as possible so that the chief constable could make a decision.

Such a prodigy, as long as he doesn't die young, will surely dominate the world in the future!

The unique and efficient information transmission channels are a key reason why the Six Doors can manipulate the Heaven, Earth, and Man lists.

They were able to grasp any event that occurred within the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty in the shortest time, so the matter of Zhaocheng would soon be on the desk of the chief constable of the Six Doors.

A short while later, the various groups dispersed, eager to spread the news of what they had seen at the Chifeng Martial Arts School, and the entire Zhaocheng was in an uproar.

The martial arts students' matches were nothing special, and no one cared. This epic battle was enough to shake the world.

They were able to witness this battle firsthand; even if they died, it would be worth it!
The backyard of the martial arts school.

Qin's mother was stunned. She squeezed Qin Sheng's arm, patted her son's shoulder and back, and touched his forehead, feeling a sense of unreality.

"Xiao Sheng, how can you be so strong?"

"This is what the body of the sun is like."

Qin Sheng said, "Although I have only opened my eye aperture, my physical body and true energy are stronger than those who have opened four or six apertures. With the help of my Dharma Body killing moves, Zhang Wennan is naturally no match for me."

He wasn't lying; the Sun Body truly possessed such a foundation, only Qin Sheng had a slight amplification on top of that foundation.

Since there's no other body like the sun in the world, whatever he says goes.

If anyone can find a second body of the sun, but discovers it's different from Qin Sheng's, then the person is incompetent, and they shouldn't blame Lu Buping.

Maybe my solar body is male, and yours is female.

"Such a physique... no wonder it incurs the envy of the heavens," Qin's father sighed.

If Qin Sheng weren't his son, he would think it would be better if this so-called "Sun Body" never appeared.

Now, Master Qin thought to himself, this is wonderful.

Jiang Zhiwei remained silent, her face slightly flushed.

The thought of how he had told his master before he left the mountain that he would protect his junior uncle made Xiao Jiang feel a little shy.

Master must have known Junior Uncle's strength. No wonder his expression was a bit strange. He must have thought I was a complete idiot back then.

Jiang Zhiwei thought of something and asked, "Junior Uncle, you already have such strength when you open your eye aperture, so when you are in the Qi Accumulation stage, wouldn't you be no weaker than those with four or six apertures?"

"Yes, if the Human Ranking didn't only record those in the Enlightenment stage, I could have made it onto the list even in the Qi Accumulation stage."

Jiang Zhiwei blushed even more. It turned out that I was a fool during the reincarnation mission. My junior uncle had already surpassed me.

"When the next list of successful people is announced, Xiao Sheng, you're really going to become famous overnight." Qin's mother looked at Qin Sheng, her eyes reddening.

With his own child's talent, he was destined to be so dazzling.

Tonight, in Zhaocheng, wherever and wherever there is any connection to the martial arts world, everyone is discussing one name: Qin Sheng of Chifeng.

That divine sun is forever etched in people's hearts, illuminating the darkness of Zhaocheng.

Before the martial arts competition, Qin Sheng was virtually unknown. On the first day of the competition, Qin Sheng became famous far and wide, and everyone realized something.

With the rise of the Red Blade, Qin will triumph!
