James had been singlemindedly practicing the sword technique for the past ten days.
His dedication intrigued Tobias. He has secretly watched him for several days and noticed James’ rapid progress. James had already mastered the First Sword Realm in a span of less than ten days.
“This boy is without a doubt talented in martial arts. It took me several years to barely master the First Sword Realm, yet it only took him ten days.” Tobias was slightly concerned about the rapid pace of James’ progress.
He left silently after having observed James for quite some time.
Tobias needed to meditate in seclusion in preparation for the upcoming Mount Thunder Conference.
A figure flitted through the backyard under the night sky.
James moved rapidly as he fluidly executed a number of elaborate sword techniques.
After practicing each move at least once, he sat down to take a break.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
The sudden crisp applause broke the silence in the backyard.
Bennett approached him with a bemused smile. “Very good. That’s impressive. It’s as if you were born to be a natural swordsman. You’ve only been practicing for ten days, yet have already surpassed the effort that takes most people many years to accomplish.”
James put away his sword and replied with a smile of his own, “It’s because you’ve taught me well.”
It was not an understatement that the swordsmanship of the Thirteen Heavenly Swords was intricate, and it would be difficult for James to master them on his own in such a short period of time. The reason for his rapid improvements was all due to Bennett's expert guidance.
He was able to avoid many obstacles as well as minimize his mistakes because he had an experienced teacher guiding him.
“Mhm. Not bad.”
Bennett stroked his white beard and said, “Now, you can start practicing the Second Sword Realm. This is where you’ll get a real taste of the Thirteen Heavenly Swords technique.”
James nodded.
He picked up his sword once more and raised it.
All of a sudden, his body vanished. He appeared high in the air, around 20 meters off the ground, and tilted his longsword.
At that moment, the long sword suddenly began to glow with the True Energy that had been imbued into it. It did not take long for it to form Sword Energy.
However, this phenomenon was over as soon as it began and dissipated without a trace.
James was unable to form Sword Energy, let alone control it.
“Don’t worry. Take your time.
“Remember, the sword is an extension of your body. Sword Energy is also an embodiment of your energy. The way you materialize Sword Energy is practically the same as True Energy. Now that you’ve reached the summit of the fifth rank, you’re but one tiny step away from achieving the sixth rank. If you can execute the first sword, you can pretty much consider yourself to have officially stepped into the sixth rank.”
