James felt terrifying power rush toward him, snaking through the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword and into his body.
Overwhelmed by the force, he took a step backward.
Daereth retracted his sword, looked at James, and smirked. “That’s enough. You may proceed.”
James shook off the numbness in his arm, then put away the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword. He clasped his hands together and said, “Thank you.”
Afterward, he continued ascending Mount Divine Sword.
Melinda followed closely behind him.
After walking for a while, the second disciple appeared before him.
The disciple blocking his path spoke, “Strike, James. Show me how profound your Second Swordsmanship is.”
Without any hesitation, James summoned the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword again. He leaped into the air, and countless shadows spread in the sky. Each of the shadows represented a Sword Move he had learned.
The number of shadows mirrored the amount of Sword Moves he had integrated into the move. The more shadows he could summon, the stronger his Sword Path.
The shadows fused in a flash, and James reappeared in front of his opponent.
James used the Second Swordsmanship to strike the second disciple but failed to injure his opponent. Instead, he was blasted back by the tremendous force of the collision.
“Proceed.”
After the disciple finished speaking, he vanished from sight.
James continued to move up the mountain.
Soon, a third disciple appeared in sight.
Before he could speak, James interrupted him. “You don’t need to tell me anything. I already know the rules. I have to attack you using the Third Swordsmanship.”
The disciple smiled lightly and said, “Since you understand, let’s cut to the chase. Go ahead, come at me.”
The Third Swordsmanship was Sword Will, one of the most crucial techniques.
The Sword Heart was a reflection of one’s heart. The Sword Heart was closely linked to the other four stages.
