The Sword God of Shili Slope in the Magical World

"What level are you at already? I've almost forgotten..."

Su De murmured to himself, casually swinging his iron sword, the sword rising and falling with each stroke.

The green, paste-like mass in front of it, which had just stepped out and was unaware of what it had done wrong, was instantly split in two, turning into a fragrant experience.

[Slay a level 1 slime, swordsmanship experience +1]

"Strange, I feel like my swordsmanship for killing slimes hasn't improved much lately."

The man in the dark forest was no longer the young man he once was; he was no longer spirited or handsome.

On the contrary, he had a bit of stubble on his chin, and his face was slightly dark from years of hard work, making him look a bit like the uncle next door. However, he had a calm and heroic appearance, a dignified demeanor, and his body was not bulky. He was tall with eight-pack abs, and his arm holding the sword was extremely strong, with bulging muscles, strong enough to fight a tiger.

The monsters around the forest were all very wary of him and could only take detours. They were frightened by his aura and dared not approach him at all. Only the slime, who had little intelligence, foolishly went forward, unaware that a tiger was ahead.

[Complete the daily quest – Sword Cultivation – to receive one random attribute point as a reward.]

[Attribute Point Strength +1]

With a flash of inspiration, it entered Su De's body.

He clenched his fists tightly, but felt that his strength had not increased much.

"Is it because there's not enough power, and I can't even feel it anymore?"

He opened his panel and began to examine it.

Name: Su De

Race: Human

【Class: Swordsman (Rank D)】

[Class Talent: Slash Lv10 (Max Level): Focuses intently on a full-force slash, dealing additional damage to enemies (depending on the swordsman's attributes and swordsmanship skill). Different weapons will yield different effects.]

But the next second, another line of text appeared.

[Host, please persevere and defeat the beginner BOSS Tiger Vanguard as soon as possible, leave the beginner village, unlock subsequent attribute panels, establish a sect, train disciples, achieve immortality, and become the number one cultivator in the world!]

Su De had seen this line of text hundreds of times and had become indifferent to it.

It all started more than 20 years ago. In fact, he was a time traveler who had been in this world for a long time.

He didn't possess anyone's body, but instead descended upon a nearby town as a novice adventurer.

This is a world created by the goddess of prayer, called the Continent of Noah. In this world, there is only magic and battle energy, as well as barbarians of the highlands, elves who guard the forests, dwarves, orcs, and dragons. On the borders of the human kingdoms, there are also a large number of demon territories, which are the territory of the demons and are eyeing the human race covetously.

When he first arrived, he was destitute and almost starved to death on the street.

However, he obtained a system called the Immortal Sect Cultivation Guide, which said that as long as he established a sect and trained disciples, he could obtain generous rewards.

However, he couldn't find where the beginner boss was.

So he got stuck on the beginner quests.

I've only unlocked one daily quest, nothing else.

He couldn't find any bosses to kill at all!

The monsters around here have been killed almost all, but it's all useless.

This area is extremely remote, with no adventurers in sight, and even monsters are scarce. Apart from slimes, there are basically no high-level monsters, so it's relatively safe.

Although this world is a magical world, it is extremely dangerous!

In his fifth year, he became arrogant, believing that he had mastered swordsmanship and that he could go out and explore without having to find any beginner bosses.

Thinking of challenging himself, he went to a low-level underground maze near the village to see if he could kill some monsters and gain experience faster. However, he encountered a particularly powerful monster on the way!

Even with all his skills, he couldn't defeat them.

They fought for three days and three nights, then he fled severely wounded!

I almost died!

Once bitten, twice shy.

From then on, he never traveled far from home, nor did he leave the starting village, because the world was not that simple, and monsters were everywhere.

You could die if you're not careful.

It's better to stay in the countryside, where there are fewer monsters, life is more convenient, and you can level up by occasionally fighting slimes.

Over the years, he has made many attempts, even opening a sword school in the countryside to see if he could train disciples directly without having to fight bosses or skip the beginner quests. But it was all useless and there was no response at all.

Left with no other choice, he had to make a living by running the sword school, charging fees and recruiting disciples every year to teach them swordsmanship. He stayed there for more than 20 years.

They raised many orphans and had many disciples, but most of them never returned after they grew up and graduated.

But Sude didn't expect them to be very filial to him. As long as they lived well and were able to acknowledge who their teacher was and who taught them swordsmanship in the future, that would be enough.

Now he is in his thirties, already an uncle, but he is still single, unmarried and childless, living alone in the countryside, honing his sword skills year after year, day after day.

After completing his daily tasks, Su De returned to the sword hall to continue supervising his disciples' early morning sword practice, which had become a part of his life.

Seeing these hopeful children, so positive and hardworking, made him feel truly alive.

It was just another ordinary day.

"This world is far too dangerous. There's the terrifying Demon King's territory, the cunning heretics, and the undead and evil creatures everywhere. Every year, people come to the village to recruit able-bodied men to defend against the demons from the north. If it weren't for paying protection money, I would have been exiled. Staying in the countryside is the safest option. Although I don't know how strong I am now, I should be able to protect myself. Just to be on the safe side, I'll stay in the village for a while longer."

On his way home, Su De pondered a series of calculations.

It is thanks to these weak slimes that I have become who I am today.

These monsters may be weak, but their numbers are ultimately limited.

You can only level up by hunting weak monsters like goblins and slimes to avoid endangering your life.

Therefore, he would not kill them all each day, but would leave some so that they could multiply. In the long run, this would prevent the fish from being killed off.

But who would want to stay in the countryside their whole life?

He's a time traveler after all; he can't live such a pathetic life, can he?

The sky finally brightened, and the morning air was exceptionally fresh.

After descending the mountain, you can see fields of golden wheat and rugged, muddy country roads.

Sude returned to his home, in front of a dilapidated house, which was more like a sword-fighting arena than a house.

The first floor was used to teach apprentices swordsmanship, and the second floor was his living quarters where he slept.

Small but complete.

The room was filled with carved wooden swords and wooden mannequins, but the carvings were mottled, and they were missing arms and legs. They hadn't been replaced for a long time and were quite old.

Behind the house was a large training ground where many village children were sent to practice swordsmanship, to master a skill for survival, so that they could find a good job in the future. It would be excellent to serve as a guard in the home of a nobleman.

Some with better qualifications could even enter the city, join the army, and become supreme knights.

In this world, every nobleman who is granted a title has his own fiefdom, and the salaries of his followers are extremely generous, but the selection criteria are very strict.

Only one out of a hundred swordsmen can become a knight.

Influenced by this trend, Su De's sword-fighting business is actually doing quite well.

He arrived at the gate of the sword hall and saw an elegant carriage parked at the entrance.

The horses were tall and snow-white, and the wood used was exquisite and expensive.

This puzzled Su De.

Have we had some guests?

Such carriages are rare even in the city; only nobles with titles could probably drive them.

Sude slowly entered the room, only to see two rows of tall and imposing red-haired, bright silver knights standing on both sides, their postures perfectly aligned.

In the very center of the sword hall, a silver-haired girl dressed in knight's armor was surveying everything inside.

Hearing the noise behind her, she turned around and saw Su De, giving him a slight smile.

"Teacher Su De, it's been a long time."
