Ten Thousand Sword Masters

Countless martial arts practitioners and the white-haired demonic ape chased after Zhang Jianyun like madmen, who fled desperately into the depths of the Litian Mountains.

Although he knew that the depths of the Litian Mountains were fraught with danger, he had no other choice.

shhhhhh!

Accompanying the pursuit were weapons thrown by martial arts figures, even the white-haired demon ape threw its weapon at Zhang Jianyun.

At this moment, a bend appeared ahead, which would briefly separate Zhang Jianyun from the group of pursuers.

Just after Zhang Jianyun turned the corner, he suddenly had a thought: since he possessed a system, could he enter the system space?

The moment that thought crossed his mind, he vanished from the spot in a flash.

Zhang Jianyun entered the system space.

Upon entering the system space, everything was shrouded in a gray haze. Underfoot was a patch of earth about 100 square meters in size, where Bamboo, Wood, and Melon, along with the Black Warrior, sat quietly.

Upon seeing Zhang Jianyun appear, Zhu Muyuangua and the Black Warrior hurriedly stood up.

"Should I spend 200 hostility points to build a house for both the Sword Master Takeki Yuuka and the Black Warrior?"

Upon receiving the system notification, Zhang Jianyun responded "Yes".

"You spent 200/880 hostility points to build a house for the Sword Master Bamboo and the Black Warrior."

In an instant, two houses appeared on the ground, making the 100-square-meter area feel cramped.

Bamboo and Wood Gourd and Black Warrior were overjoyed to see the house that had suddenly appeared.

"These are houses built for you; you can live in them," Zhang Jianyun said.

"Thank you, Master."

The first time I heard the two sword masters speaking, Bamboo Wood Resentment Melon was a woman's voice.

Zhang Jianyun carefully examined Zhu Mu Yuan Gua's face and found that Zhu Mu Yuan Gua was indeed somewhat delicate-looking.

"Let's go inside and take a look," Zhang Jianyun said, walking into a house.

There was a bed, a desk next to the window, a chair in front of the desk, and two stools in the room; the furniture was quite complete.

I was quite satisfied with the room; the system wasn't poorly made.

After leaving the room, Zhang Jianyun asked to see the Bamboo and Wood Melon and the Black Warrior's Bronze Sword.

The two handed their bronze swords to Zhang Jianyun, who took them and held them in both hands. After examining them carefully for a while, Zhang Jianyun praised, "What a fine sword!"

"Neither of you have ever used a sword before, right? How does it feel to use a sword now?" Zhang Jianyun asked.

"Master, when we received the bronze sword, we also received some information and experience, and mastered some sword-using skills. We also know that you can use hostility points to purchase sword techniques from the system for us," said Zhu Mu Yuan Gua.

"Can I buy sword techniques?" Zhang Jianyun asked in surprise. The information system hadn't given him any notification. Could it be that his hostility value wasn't high enough to buy sword techniques, so the system didn't give him any notification?

"Yes, Master, you can not only improve our quality, but also buy us sword-making pills, experience pills, and other things to enhance our strength," the Black Warrior said.

"I see," Zhang Jianyun said with a sudden realization.

"Master, not only that, but through the information transmitted to us by the system, we know that only you are immortal. If we sacrifice ourselves in battle, you can revive us at any time using hostility points. Of course, when facing a life-or-death crisis, we can immediately return to the system space if you allow it," said Zhu Mu Yuan Gua.

Zhang Jianyun nodded upon hearing this. "Unless it concerns my life, I will allow you to immediately return to the system space if you encounter a life-or-death crisis."

"Thank you, Master," said Bamboo and Wood Gourd and Black Warrior in unison.

"But you shouldn't be afraid of death, right? Even the master of my Cangxi Pavilion can't kill you," Zhang Jianyun said to the Black Warrior.

"Master, I have a special constitution and am very difficult to kill. Even if I am chopped into mincemeat, I can recover to normal," the Black Warrior said.

"Isn't there any power that can kill you?" Zhang Jianyun asked, puzzled.

"Master, I sense that there is a power in this world that can kill me, that can simply obliterate me and make me disappear from the world completely," the Black Knight said.

"What kind of power is this?" Zhang Jianyun exclaimed in surprise.

"I don't know what to call that power, but I sense its existence," the Black Knight said.

Zhang Jianyun remained silent for a while after hearing this, his mind wandering.

After a while, Zhang Jianyun asked curiously, "By the way, did you originally have your own names?"

Bamboo and Wood Gourd and Black Warrior shook their heads. "We have no names, we only know that we are monsters."

"Oh, do you want a name?" Zhang Jianyun asked.

"Please bestow names upon us, Master," Bamboo and Wood Gourd and Black Warrior hurriedly requested.

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Jianyun said, "Since you are Zhu Mu Yuan Gua, let your surname be Zhu and your given name be Lan."

Zhang Jianyun named the bamboo and wood melon "Zhulan".

After receiving her name, Zhu Lan was very excited. "Thank you, Master. I have my own name now."

Seeing that the Bamboo and Wood Gourd had been given a name, the Black Warrior looked at Zhang Jianyun with anticipation.

"I'm the one who gave you the nickname 'Black Warrior,' which means 'black ink.' So you'll have the surname Mo and the name Dun," Zhang Jianyun said.

Upon receiving his name, the Black Knight was overjoyed. "Thank you, Master. From this day forward, I am the Black Knight Morton."

Seeing their excited expressions, Zhang Jianyun laughed.

At this moment, Zhang Jianyun thought of Mo Dun's quality. He currently had over 800 hostility points, so he could improve his quality.

The moment the thought arose, a prompt was quickly received from the system.

"Should I consume 500 hostility points to infuse my subordinate swordsman, Morton, with sword energy to improve his quality?"

"Yes."

"You spent 500/380 hostility points to infuse your sword master Mo Dun with a burst of sword energy, upgrading his quality to mid-grade Yellow Rank."

At the same time, Zhang Jianyun saw a sword aura pour straight into Mo Dun's head, and then Mo Dun's body lit up.

"Thank you, Master, for improving my quality." Sensing the quality improvement notification, Mo Dun hurriedly thanked Zhang Jianyun.

Looking at the remaining 380 hostility points, Zhang Jianyun sighed, "These hostility points aren't enough."

Then, Zhang Jianyun looked at the little ground left and thought it would be good if he could widen the clods of earth.

The moment the thought arose, the system immediately prompted: "Do you wish to spend 100 hostility points to expand one square meter of space?"

"100 hostility points only expands the ground space by 1 square meter?" Zhang Jianyun was somewhat dissatisfied, but still replied, "It increases the space by 3 square meters."

"You spent 300/80 hostility points to expand the ground by 3 square meters, and the current space area is 103 square meters."

Although the ground area only increased by 3 square meters, Zhang Jianyun was still quite excited. As long as the hostility value was high enough, the space area could be expanded infinitely. He just didn't know what kind of things could be built in this space. It shouldn't be limited to just rooms for resting.

It seems the system has many more functions waiting to be discovered.

For a moment, Zhang Jianyun began to look forward to the future, after all, with the system in hand, he would have the world at his fingertips.
