On a cold winter afternoon, without warm sunlight, only the howling cold wind continued to rage, and the silver snowflakes began to dance in the air.
Inside the dilapidated house, Sun Zhe and another person sat casually on the ground. At some point, each of them had a wine gourd in hand, and between them was a small fire pit with several pieces of meat roasting over it. Golden droplets of oil covered the meat, and an enticing aroma wafted from it.
"Sun Zhezi, I'm going out soon. I might not be back for a long time... or I might never return..." After a moment, the old man tilted his head back and took a swig of liquor. The strong alcohol seemed as mild as water to him, having no stimulating effect at all. A complex look flashed in his eyes as he gazed at Sun Zhe and slowly spoke.
His right hand trembled slightly in mid-air but was quickly masked by Sun Zhe, who feigned indifference while drinking and muttered,
"You can go if you want; it has nothing to do with me. If we meet again next time, we can drink together... Just like you said, a man should eat heartily and drink deeply. Why are you acting so coy, like a woman..."
Ignoring Sun Zhe's mockery, the old man chuckled casually and took another sip of liquor before continuing,
"During my time here, there have been very few who caught my eye. You can be considered one of them... Although your qualification isn't great and your strength is even worse, your character suits my taste. So I still have high hopes for you..."
Hearing this, Sun Zhe couldn't help but show a wry smile. His qualification of becoming a Three-Star Thunderer within three months was deemed not great by the old man, while his current strength absolutely ranked first in the Outer Sect of Xuan Lei Sect but was still considered lacking by the old man. However, Sun Zhe chose not to argue; after what happened with Martial Arts, he had already filtered out some of the old man's words.
"Damn it, you don't believe what I'm saying?" Seeing Sun Zhe's expression, the old man suddenly erupted in anger and shouted at him.
"Aren't you still brooding over that Martial Arts incident? Your qualification isn't great either, yet you blame me for choosing the wrong Martial Arts for you and wasting your time. If I didn't find you pleasing to the eye, I wouldn't even bother to guide you..."
Seeing the old man getting angry startled Sun Zhe; he opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.
"To be honest with you, Thunder Dual Slash is a Martial Arts that I personally wrote. Its true rank is definitely above Earth Rank middle grade. The reason it's classified as Human Rank top grade and placed on the first floor of the library is that I wanted to see how many people could actually learn it. But these fools from Xuan Lei Sect have really disappointed me; in three whole years, one hundred thirty-two people took this Martial Arts out, yet not a single one truly mastered it... Their comprehension is even worse than yours..."
The old man's angry words shocked Sun Zhe; Thunder Dual Slash was actually above Earth Rank middle grade Martial Arts and was personally written by the old man.
Sun Zhe's master Elder Li was a Thunder Sovereign Level powerhouse. Such a strong individual wouldn't just write Martial Arts; they wouldn't even have the qualifications to modify them. Yet this old man could personally write Martial Arts—how terrifying must his strength be... For a moment, Sun Zhe truly didn't know whether to believe the old man's words or not...
"Well then, since I'm about to leave here soon, let me give you one last gift before I go!"
As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for Sun Zhe's reaction, the old man walked outside on his own. Sun Zhe had no choice but to follow him out.
In the Howling Cold Wind, the old man stood alone in the courtyard, his thin clothing fluttering in the wind. His emaciated figure, however, was incredibly steadfast, resembling Mount Tai with no possibility of wavering. As he observed the old man's gradually rising momentum, Sun Zhe's eyes suddenly narrowed.
Suddenly, his slightly squinted eyes snapped wide open, and two terrifying beams of light shot out. A surging aura erupted from within him, shooting straight up, but this aura was tightly locked within the courtyard, not leaking out even a bit. The entire courtyard seemed to transform into an independent space, completely under the old man's control. Sun Zhe, standing within the courtyard, was instantly taken aback; this aura was far beyond what his master could compare to!
"Sun Zhezi, pay attention!"
At this moment, the old man's breath changed; the originally lazy old man instantly transformed into a terrifyingly powerful being, like a sword unsheathed. Every part of him radiated an overwhelming and fierce aura. Waves of gray energy Cyclone surrounded his body, creating a sight that was incredibly shocking.
"Thunder Dual Slash is merely an application of Sword Technique. Today, I will demonstrate all Four Realms of Swordsmanship for you. How much you can learn depends entirely on your own comprehension!"
With that, the old man raised his right hand. The Black Long Knife that was stuck in the ground instantly shot up and flew towards him at his summons. In the blink of an eye, a seven-foot-long Fine Iron Long Sword appeared beside him, quietly hovering.
Only a Thunder Lord Expert could achieve such remote control!
Seeing the old man effortlessly wielding a Divine Ability that only a Thunder Lord Expert could master, Sun Zhe's pupils slightly contracted. However, at this moment, he dared not let his mind wander for even a moment, fearing he might miss any opportunity. Such a chance to be taught by a powerful being was rare; aside from that one accidental fusion with lightning, this was probably the greatest opportunity of his life—how could he not seize it?
"First realm, Self-Weight Lightening!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a glint flashed in the old man's eyes. He swiftly swung his right hand downwards. The Black Long Knife erupted with a terrifying Black Radiance, blinding light enveloping the entire Long Sword as if it were about to burst from the glow. At the same time, an extremely powerful energy filled the Long Sword.
"Slash!"
With that single word shouted out, the air seemed to change. The Long Sword broke through the constraints of space and struck down onto the ground with immense force. The powerful energy instantly poured down towards the ground. Yet at the moment of contact with the ground, that overwhelming force vanished without a trace; in an instant, there was no longer any sharpness left on the Blade of the Long Sword.
"Second realm, Self-Lightening!"
Without waiting for Sun Zhe to react, the old man's voice rang out again. As he spoke, he turned his right hand; the distant Long Sword swayed and immediately slashed horizontally with its Blade. However, this slow Blade Shadow carried no power at all; it was as gentle as a breeze brushing against one's face. The tree trunk opposite it didn't even shake its branches or leaves but moved at incredible speed.
In an instant, as the Long Sword made contact with the tree trunk, it once again burst forth with brilliant light. The powerful energy erupted once more and surged into the Long Sword. The Blade swept through effortlessly as the thick tree trunk broke with a loud crash and fell completely down.
"Third Realm, Light and Heavy at Will!"
The dark Long Sword flickered and moved in the air, resembling a black lightning bolt, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes light, sometimes heavy, dazzling to behold.
Seeing this scene, Sun Zhe felt a sudden jolt in his heart, but his eyes erupted with an unmistakable look of surprise. He finally understood the true meaning of Thunder Dual Slash. This was a simple application of this Sword Technique in the Third Realm. Although this Martial Arts could not compare to the power of the Third Realm controlled by the old man, mastering it completely would certainly surpass ordinary Martial Arts.
"Fourth Realm, without a trace!"
As the faint voice sounded, the old man's gaze suddenly became sharp. His bony finger pointed upward, and the Black Long Knife in the air trembled slightly before suddenly disappearing without a trace.
"Boom!"
A sudden Explosive Sound echoed, and sparks flew in the Void, as the Long Sword could no longer bear the pressure and exploded.
"Enough, one must not go against their will... The Fourth Realm is to be demonstrated. With your current level, it is impossible for you to comprehend it. If you can fully master the first three realms of the Sword Technique, in Xuan Yuan County, you need not fear anyone. You can also venture through the Thunder Continent..."
Countless withered leaves slowly fell, and the old man's voice echoed in the courtyard. However, his emaciated figure had already vanished, leaving only a shocked expression on Sun Zhe.
