It’s laughable how they act so superior, mocking and ridiculing Quentin Harper, yet little do they know, his swordsmanship is far above theirs.
“Maybe it was Yvonne Easton who went easy on him halfway through! She’s been flirting with Quentin Harper for a while now—who knows if she wanted to use this to restore Quentin Harper’s reputation!”
Filled with jealousy, Quincy Young said bitterly.
“I just remembered, it was the ten lightning-fast strikes that secured the victory! If Yvonne Easton hadn’t mentioned it, I wouldn’t have even seen it clearly. In that instant, senior Quentin Harper actually thrust his sword ten times!”
At this moment, another junior suddenly spoke up, his tone full of amazement: “Ten strikes! In one second, ten sword thrusts! What an astonishingly brilliant sword technique!”
“Ten strikes? Junior, what did you say—senior Quentin can actually thrust his sword ten times in a second?”
“Oh my god, I practice the Eastern Academy’s quick sword, the Floating White Sword Technique, but even now, I can only manage six strikes in a second! Senior Quentin’s swordsmanship is actually that fast?”
“One second, ten strikes—such unparalleled swordsmanship! I’m afraid before I could even see senior Quentin’s blade, I’d already be dead.”
The junior’s words made the students present exclaim in shock once again.
As students of the Eastern Academy, they naturally understood what ten strikes in a second meant.
“One second, ten strikes—surely, no one in our Eastern Academy could withstand that, right?”
At this point, some students recalled Quincy Young’s earlier slander against senior Yvonne Easton, and glanced at her with some disdain.
Since when did the weak have the right to mock the strong?
“That’s not necessarily true—maybe there are still some who could withstand it. After all, our academy has quite a few elite students who made it into higher academies.”
Someone immediately chimed in.
A true strong one is worthy of respect anywhere.
Compared to Quentin Harper and Yvonne Easton, Felix Turner, Quincy Young, Beatrice and the others were, at this moment, nothing but clowns. Even though they attended the same academy, these hot-blooded students already looked down on their behavior.
A slap in the face!
A brazen slap in the face.
For a moment, Quincy Young’s face turned red with shame, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
At this point, Felix Turner, Beatrice, and the others fell silent.
“Quentin Harper has such swordsmanship?”
Beatrice’s face was extremely unsightly.
Ten strikes in a second?
They asked themselves honestly—they couldn’t withstand it!
Such a fast sword, in the entire Qingyuan City, fewer than three people could take it.
Looking around at all the students staring at them with mocking eyes, they could no longer maintain their previous air of superiority. One by one, they slunk away, fleeing the scene in embarrassment.
Chapter Six Summary
“Snow River Sword Technique, Snowfall Phantom Body, Qianyuan Sword Finger, Melting Snow Remnant Scripture, sixth level.”
The outside world was abuzz because of the battle between Quentin Harper and Yvonne Easton, but in Quentin Harper’s room, he was already sitting cross-legged, calmly organizing the sword techniques, cultivation methods, and finger techniques of Snow Sword Manor.
“Meteor Piercing Moon Sword Technique, Thunder Sound Body Refinement, Three Pure Ones Chess Sword Technique, Square Inch Formula.”
These were the sword, body, and movement techniques Quentin Harper himself cultivated.
Meteor Piercing Moon focused on speed; Three Pure Ones Chess Sword Technique was ever-changing, one sword splitting into three; Square Inch Formula pushed small-range movement to its peak.
“Snow River Sword Technique… a superior technique of Snow Sword Manor, but inferior to Meteor Piercing Moon and Three Pure Ones Chess Sword, so abandon it! Snowfall Phantom Body complements Snow River Sword Technique, but its dodging and shifting is far inferior to Square Inch Formula, so abandon it! Qianyuan Sword Finger, using the finger as a sword to injure at close range, is quite valuable. Next…”
Melting Snow Remnant Scripture, sixth level.
Corresponds to the sixth level of True Refinement for cultivators.
It is a method of True Refinement…
In Earth’s ancient times, there were traces of immortals and gods, traveling through the heavens and roaming the void.
But ever since Earth’s end of magic, the ways of cultivation vanished from the world, sword immortals and demons became legends, and Thunder Sound Body Refinement, when cultivated to the extreme, generated internal force, which counted as a True Refinement method in that world.
Now, in this world, where vital energy is abundant, one can use Thunder Sound Body Refinement to refine essence into qi, and qi into true energy.
After a moment, Quentin Harper focused on the true core of his cultivation from Earth.
“The Supreme Sword Canon.”
This was the sword technique Quentin Harper himself practiced.
The Supreme Sword Canon was a sacred text of swordsmanship, compiled by Quentin Harper from the sword techniques of many ancient sword immortals.
Due to Earth’s end of magic, this sword technique was no longer as mysterious and miraculous as it once was. Although it gave rise to Meteor Piercing Moon, Three Pure Ones Chess Sword, and a series of minor sword techniques, its true value lay in the cultivation methods for swordsmanship realms summarized within.
“Lifting the light as if it were heavy, lifting the heavy as if it were light, unity of man and sword, gathering momentum with the sword…”
Quentin Harper had practiced swordsmanship for eleven years, reaching the realm of lifting the heavy as if it were light—at a hundred meters, neither spear nor arrow could harm him.
“In the battle with Yvonne Easton, my mind and body were not yet fully in sync, so I couldn’t display the wonders of lifting the heavy as if it were light… Otherwise, the gap in true energy between True Refinement level one and level three wouldn’t have left me so powerless.”
Therefore…
