The Sword God of Shili Slope in the Magical World

As the founder of the Shadow Mercenary Group.

Bereya's prestige goes without saying.

Platinum-level adventurers are the most elite adventurers. Bereya is one of the top three adventurers in the entire kingdom. She has left behind many famous deeds in the Kingdom of Avalon, such as slaying a young dragon on her own and earning the title of Dragon Slayer.

"Have you received the mission?"

Bereya slightly raised her eyes, squinted, and asked, her posture on the sofa extremely languid.

"I received it, but there was a slight hiccup along the way."

Nightmare Blade stammered as he recounted everything that had just happened.

The red-haired woman didn't offer him any comfort; instead, she mocked him:

"If you can't control your mouth and don't have the corresponding strength, don't blame others for bullying you."

"But you just mentioned that you encountered Captain Fei Xue, and that there was an ordinary-looking middle-aged man with her?"

Hearing the interest in his boss's tone, Nightmare Blade nodded and said, "That's right, that middle-aged man is no ordinary person. He appeared in front of me in an instant, and I couldn't even see his movements."

While running her fingers through her hair, Bereya recalled and pondered, "Did he only use an iron sword, and did he seem to have no battle aura? In addition, his swordsmanship was unremarkable, without any magic mixed in."

Nightmare Blade was slightly taken aback, not expecting that his boss knew so much, as if he had been there himself.

Yes, that's right.

Nightmare Blade never expected that he would bring such a formidable enemy to the mercenary group.

He was clearly a Black Diamond-level adventurer, yet he was utterly powerless against that man.

"Should we be wary of this person beforehand? After all, we can't afford to be distracted when things get serious."

"It's alright, I already know who he is, you don't need to worry," Bereya said with a smile.

"You'd better think about how to apologize to Captain Fei Xue; she doesn't have a good temper."

Nightmare Blade asked with great curiosity, "Who exactly is that man?"

Bereya took a sip of wine, smiled faintly, gazed out the window, and said absentmindedly, "Nothing special, just a country bumpkin."

......

The next day, morning.

The sun was shining brightly, the air was fresh, and the training grounds in the royal city were already packed with people.

Young and energetic knights, both men and women, were already dressed in armor, waiting for their daily morning training.

I heard that a swordsmanship instructor came to the capital yesterday. As their new teacher, he will provide them with a year-long intensive training program to help them improve their swordsmanship.

Soon, a beautiful silver-haired figure appeared in their field of vision; it was none other than their highly admired Captain Fei Xue.

However, behind Captain Fei Xue was an older man.

Fei Xue stood on the high platform of the training ground and began her speech: "Good morning, everyone. From today onwards, the special training officially begins. You are all geniuses selected from various regions, presumably here for glory. But I must say that besides glory, do not forget your mission: to deal with the future Demon King's army and never allow them to set foot on Avalon's territory!"

"Defend Avalon!"

The young people below all raised their arms and shouted, and those around them followed suit, soon the sound was thunderous.

"Defend Avalon!"

"Defend Avalon!"

...

Looking at his confident and authoritative apprentice on the podium, Su De felt a surge of satisfaction.

What could be more comforting than seeing your apprentice succeed?

Seeing the enthusiasm of the people below, Fei Xue nodded in satisfaction, then looked at her teacher and introduced, "This is Teacher Su De. From today onwards, he will be your chief instructor, responsible for the swordsmanship instruction of all the knights in the capital."

This news immediately attracted attention at the scene.

Almost everyone's eyes turned to Su De.

There was novelty, there was doubt, and there was also skepticism...

Fei Xue gave up her seat. This was the first time Su De had spoken in front of so many people, at least several hundred. However, as Fei Xue's teacher, he couldn't be intimidated.

He cleared his throat and said, "From today onwards, I will be your swordsmanship instructor. I am very happy to be your instructor. Seeing you all reminds me of my own youth."

"Please take care of me from now on."

After Su De finished speaking, he bowed to everyone.

At this moment, a female knight raised her hand and asked, "Instructor Sude, I heard that you come from a remote village and are known as the 'Country Sword Saint,' is that true?"

Sude nodded and replied, "Yes, I come from a remote village, but the title of 'Village Sword Saint' was given to me by the villagers; it doesn't mean much."

He looked at everyone and said, "I am trusted by the King to hold this position. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask."

Soon, someone else raised their hand: "Instructor, I heard that you and Commander Fei Xue have known each other for a long time, is that true?"

Su De nodded seriously: "It's true, she's my apprentice, I've watched her grow up."

When the news was confirmed, there was an uproar at the scene.

Captain Fei Xue's strength is evident to all.

The fact that a teacher can produce such students speaks volumes about their quality.

Does being taught by such a teacher mean that they also have the hope of taking a big step forward in their swordsmanship during their lifetime?

However, some people believe that a teacher is only a teacher, responsible for guiding students into the field, and that a student's future achievements depend mainly on their talent.

At this moment, another blond knight raised his hand: "Instructor Sude, I'd like to have a sword match with you to see if my swordsmanship is lacking. Is that alright?"

Now, during the Q&A session, a challenger has arrived.

This undoubtedly pushes the atmosphere to a tense extreme.

Many people recognized at a glance that the person who raised his hand was Richard, the vice-commander of the Knights of the Sun.

Although Vice-Commander Richard's strength is far inferior to that of Commander Scarlet Snow, he is still a highly skilled knight.

His profession is Paladin, a very high-ranking profession.

This opportunity to establish authority has been presented to them as a blatant challenge.

Sude did not refuse, but smiled and said, "Of course."

Richard stared at the man in front of him, but he had other plans in mind.

The second prince instructed him to make a move this morning to test the capabilities of this outsider and determine if he was worthy of the king's recruitment.

If she is merely a figurehead, then Fei Xue can be impeached and removed from her position as leader.

He will be the new regimental commander then.

This is what the second prince promised him.

In fact, he didn't think that an uncle from the countryside could be that capable.

He rose to fame at a young age, studied swordsmanship under the most outstanding sword masters, and won countless championships. Until he met Fei Xue, he was virtually invincible.

The reason he was no match for Fei Xue was entirely because her magical talent was too terrifying.

The requirements for swordsmanship for a magic swordsman are actually not very high.

What truly makes Fei Xue powerful is not her swordsmanship, but her incredible magic.

After bowing to each other, the sparring officially began.

"Holy Cross Sword Technique"

Richard didn't hold back; he went all out from the start, unleashing his deadly moves.

Su De responded calmly and countered each move with a tactic.

Seeing that several of his sword techniques were easily neutralized by his opponent.

Richard was immediately sweating profusely.

He was very unwilling.

He was clearly a swordsmanship genius who had become famous at a young age, so how could he possibly be no match for an uncle from the countryside!

He gritted his teeth and brought the weapon down heavily, intending to unleash his ultimate move.

But at the crucial moment, Su De did not give him that chance.

Su De's sword slid up along the tip of his opponent's sword, then with a flick of his wrist, a burst of hidden energy erupted.

The terrifying force sent Richard's sword flying!

Richard looked at his empty palm and suddenly woke up.

"What kind of move is that?"

"Broken Sword Style," Su De said succinctly.

After thinking for a moment, Su De commented: "Your problem is that you focus too much on strength and techniques, but don't delve into the training of skills and basic skills. This will inevitably lead you to lose to someone with a more solid foundation in a prolonged battle."

After listening, Richard took a deep breath: "I lost. You are indeed very strong, Instructor Sude."

Please forgive my ignorance and savagery.

Su De, however, didn't take it to heart and waved his hand, saying, "It's just a friendly spar."

He looked at the group of young knights and continued, "Does anyone have any further questions?"

A knight, dressed somewhat shabbily and not wearing silver armor, stammered, "Um... Instructor Sude... is a deposit required to learn swordsmanship?"

Su De was very puzzled when he heard this question.

Why is a deposit required to learn swordsmanship?

He replied, "Of course not. Everyone will be treated equally. I will develop different training plans based on everyone's progress."

The young swordsmen cheered enthusiastically in response.

Sud did not understand why they were so happy.

Fei Xue whispered from the side, "Teacher, you may not know this, but in the past, you had to pay a deposit to learn things, otherwise you wouldn't learn anything at all. How much you paid determined whether you could learn the true essence of swordsmanship."

"Paying more money will get you preferential treatment from the swordsmanship teacher. This is the rule in the capital, and even the royal family is no exception."

Upon hearing this, Su De suddenly realized what was going on.

No wonder.

It is an indisputable fact that nobles always receive a better education in the capital.

Swordsmen from humble backgrounds, in particular, are very concerned about their origins and the cost of their services.

That's why I'm worried about this.

After all, the more famous the master, the more expensive their fees.
