This battle should have ended long ago.

But at that moment, the sword, which had been nailed in place, suddenly began to vibrate strangely.

The falling leaves that were fluttering in the air suddenly scattered, and those that were moving suddenly stopped.

Absolute stillness.

Apart from this constantly vibrating sword, there is no other life in the world.

Xie Xiaofeng's face suddenly showed an expression of extreme fear.

He suddenly realized that although his sword was still in his hand, it had become dead.

When the sword in the opponent's hand begins to come alive, the sword is already dead and can no longer change, because all changes are already under the control of the opponent's sword.

All life and strength have been taken away by this sword.

Now, this sword could pierce his chest and throat at any moment, and there is absolutely no force in the world that can stop it.

Because this sword strike means "death".

When death comes, what power in the world can stop it?

But the sword did not pierce through.

Suddenly, a look of extreme fear appeared in Yan Shisan's eyes, even more so than in Xie Xiaofeng's.

He wanted to commit suicide, but then he suddenly saw Sun Fan.

He remembered what Sun Fan often whispered in his ear.

The martial world is more than just swords.

In his final moments, he turned the sword that was aimed at his throat into a severing tendon in his hand.

He abandoned his martial arts skills.

For many, the thought of a swordsman being unable to wield his sword again is more terrifying than death.

Especially someone who has been practicing swordsmanship since childhood.

But sometimes, only when he puts down his sword does he truly see the world of martial arts.

a few days later.

In the courtyard of Shenjian Manor, Xie Xiaofeng, who had cut off his own thumb, was drinking with Yan Shisan.

After a few rounds of drinks, Xie Xiaofeng spoke up: "So, the day you insisted I bring that person along, it was to get him to draw his sword?"

Yan Shisan nodded: "That's right, it's a fine sword."

Xie Xiaofeng asked, "How long did it take you to hone this fine sword?"

Yan Shisan held up two fingers.

Xie Xiaofeng said thoughtfully, "Two years, that's indeed a long time."

Yan Shisan suddenly laughed: "Twenty years."

Xie Xiaofeng handed him a small wine cup that was near his lips.

"How many?"

He was still somewhat incredulous.

Yan Shisan couldn't suppress a smile as he said, "Twenty whole years. Actually, even I didn't expect him to be so patient."

Xie Xiaofeng also fell silent.

He waited 20 years just to see the strongest sword strike.

Is it really worth it?

Is it really possible for someone to endure for 20 years without practicing any moves, simply honing their fundamentals day after day?

He couldn't do it, and neither could Yan Shisan.

So Yan Shisan smiled very happily.

He beat Xie Xiaofeng again.

Sipping Moutai and smoking Zhonghua cigarettes, the two sat in the villa, enjoying the gentle breeze.

They imagined that perhaps, ten years later, another legend named Sun Fan would emerge in the martial arts world.

Who knows?

After that battle, Sun Fan finally reached the limit of his time spent in the secret realm.

Before I could fully process my insights, I was hastily sent away by the secret realm.

The main quest has been completed, and the rewards have been distributed.

The large amount of Moutai liquor and other luxury goods that he temporarily purchased from the secret realm has already consumed most of his parents' pension money.

Even the average rich kid wouldn't dare to squander money like this.

But looking at the gains on the secret realm panel, Sun Fan felt it was all worthwhile.

In his secret martial arts panel, two martial arts techniques lay quietly.

Basic Swordsmanship (Normal): Mastery

Among the five levels of martial arts proficiency—first glimpse of the basics, slight progress, mastery, and ultimate perfection—the fifth level, unprecedented in history, is quite unique.

"Unprecedented" means you must become the first person in history to master this martial art!

This also leads to a situation where, even though they are at the same level of unprecedented skill, the difference between some martial arts techniques is actually quite large.

Niche and obscure family martial arts techniques may achieve unprecedented success if they are not far from being perfected.

But basic swordsmanship...

There's basically no chance of anyone being the first to do this.

However, what satisfied Sun Fan the most was the second item.

Deadly Sword (Transcendent): A First Glimpse

The supreme sword technique he comprehended after observing Xie Xiaofeng's swordsmanship and the Fifteen Deadly Swords, although consisting of only one move, encompasses all the variations of both.

Its rank will increase as your understanding of swordsmanship improves.

I waited and toiled in the secret realm for twenty years, and it was all worth it!

According to information from the martial arts forum.

The martial arts techniques in the martial arts world are divided into seven levels.

Common, rare, precious, extraordinary, returning to the origin, mythical, legendary

The starting point of a deadly sword strike is already extraordinary!

He was merely a first-level martial artist among the seven realms of martial arts.

Given time, as his cultivation level rises, his Deadly Sword might once again display the divine power that caused the world to change color with the Fifteen Deadly Swords.

Sun Fan's return from the secret realm unscathed caused quite a stir at the Wanhei Martial Arts School.

There are all sorts of rumors circulating.

Some say that he was favored by a master in the secret realm and was taught advanced internal energy cultivation techniques, which enabled him to heal his injuries.

Some say he obtained a miraculous elixir in a secret realm.

The most outrageous claim is that he was taken in by a female senior of Tantric Buddhism in a secret realm, who then forced him into dual cultivation, and he was used as a cauldron for medicinal purposes.

Meanwhile, in the training ground of the eighth training class, Yan Gaojiang was listening to his subordinates' report with a gloomy expression.

"You mean, that kid really came back!?"

A short, long-faced boy nodded hurriedly: "Yes, boss, and this kid clearly gained something in the secret realm; he came back much more energetic!"

Many people saw how sickly Sun Fan looked when he went in.

Yan Gaojiang's face grew increasingly gloomy.

He recalled his brother's instructions to him in the secret room.

"This matter concerns the future of both of us brothers."

"You've seen the cruelty of the Dark Martial Arts Academy."

"No matter how high your cultivation level or how good your skills are, a person is not made of iron. With just one accident, everything you once had may be reduced to nothing."

"This is not a long-term solution."

"If possible, I'd like to go to Wuhan University, which is located outside of Wuhan."

"As you know, those famous martial arts universities outside don't even look down on those from our Dark Martial Arts School."

"They believe that our way of cultivating is essentially like pulling up seedlings to help them grow. Although we can temporarily gain an advantage by pushing ourselves to the limit, once we reach a higher level, our potential will be exhausted, and we will struggle to overcome mental barriers. Without a solid foundation, we cannot build a tall building from the ground up."

"It is said that even that one has been stuck at the peak of the sixth realm for a long time..."

"This is a golden opportunity given to us by heaven. If we can handle things perfectly for that important person, we brothers might have a chance to clear our names!"

"You must be extremely careful and cautious! Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit!"

As he pondered this, Yan Gaojiang muttered to himself, "Kid, why are you so stubbornly clinging to life?"

"If you don't die, how will we brothers survive!"
