Douluo Continent: From Blue Silver Grass to Nine-Leaf Sword Grass

Chapter 66 Peerless

After all, if Ning Fengzhi didn't find a way to recruit a peerless genius within his sect, then he wouldn't be Ning Fengzhi.

Jiang Li, the Sword Douluo, demonstrated his swordsmanship to himself every day.

In just three months, Jiang Li had already mastered the basic swordsmanship to the point where the sword moved at will, without being bound by any particular form.

After watching Jiang Li demonstrate his swordsmanship again, Sword Douluo couldn't help but nod slightly in satisfaction, then looked at Jiang Li and slowly spoke.

"Good, Xiao Li, you have now completed the first stage of cultivation, so let's begin the second stage."

As Sword Douluo spoke, he broke off an extremely ordinary tree branch.

Then, in front of Jiang Li, he came to the waterfall and demonstrated the simplest basic sword technique once again.

He handed the branch to Jiang Li and then spoke in a deep voice.

"Now that you have mastered the basic swordsmanship to the point of complete control, what you need to do next is very simple: even with external force, the sword in your hand will not be affected in the slightest."

Then, Jiang Li took the branch from Sword Douluo and went down to the waterfall.

To be honest, this sudden turn of events left him somewhat puzzled.

After all, he should know that he had been practicing his swordsmanship for the past three months using a sword formed from Blue Silver Grass.

He had already grasped the measure, and his transformed sword, in theory, shouldn't be much more resilient than this tree branch.

As for the so-called external forces, did the waterfall really have such a big impact on him?

With this question in mind, Jiang Li arrived at the spot where Sword Douluo had stood.

However, in reality, when Jiang Li grasped the tree branch and began to perform basic sword techniques...

But then he suddenly realized that his swordsmanship was being affected. This effect came not only from the waterfall, but also from a sense of unease that prevented him from reaching his peak condition while holding the tree branch.

And so, Jiang Li's basic swordsmanship was disrupted by this unfamiliarity and the pressure of the waterfall.

It seemed to be riddled with flaws.

After finishing the training, Jiang Li couldn't help but cast a grateful glance at Sword Douluo.

It turns out that the other party has already discovered their own shortcomings, such as their dependence on the transformation of their martial spirit and how their swordsmanship is affected under pressure.

Sword Douluo merely nodded slightly at Jiang Li's gaze before leaving again.

And so, Jiang Li resumed his training, holding that fragile branch in his hand.

But this time it was different. Jiang Li needed to overcome not only the pressure under the waterfall, but also a sense of being cut off.

Fortunately, Jiang Li had already mastered the basic sword techniques.

As the saying goes, spiritual practice knows no time.

Six months later, beneath that waterfall.

A shirtless, 1.8-meter-tall boy was currently practicing a sword technique with fluid grace, holding a tree branch in his hand.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that the young man was using the most basic set of sword techniques.

After his final fall, the boy couldn't help but leap down, washing away his exhaustion.

This young man was none other than Jiang Li, who had been practicing swordsmanship with Sword Douluo for nearly a year.

After swimming around the lake, I saw that familiar figure reappear on the shore.

The boy quickly got ashore, dressed, and was about to say something when the figure in front of him raised his hand to interrupt him.

This figure was none other than Sword Douluo. He had just finished watching Jiang Li's basic sword techniques and saw that he could execute them perfectly even in such an environment. So he chose to show himself immediately and slowly spoke to Jiang Li in front of him.

"It has already been completed, and the time was actually three months earlier than I expected."

"This is all thanks to the guidance of Martial Uncle Chenxin."

Jiang Li cupped his hands in a gesture of humility, unable to resist adopting a modest demeanor.

But for Sword Douluo, his words were sincere.

After all, in his estimation, even after witnessing Jiang Li's talent, he believed it would take at least a year.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Li managed to shorten the time to nine months.

Then Sword Douluo looked at Jiang Li and slowly spoke.

"I've heard you have a sword technique you created yourself. Show it to us."

As Sword Douluo spoke, he handed the sword that had been auctioned earlier to Jiang Li.

Clearly, he wanted to see just how powerful Jiang Li's sword technique would be, with the sword forged from a tall building.

After receiving the sword, Jiang Li drew it without hesitation.

The moment the sword was drawn, its azure blade gleamed brilliantly in the sunlight.

Jiang Li weighed it in his hand and sighed.

"The weight is acceptable. It is indeed a work that Master Lou Gao created after three years of work."

"Then why don't you give him a name?"

After seeing that Jiang Li was very satisfied with the sword that Lou Gao had crafted, Chen Xin proposed to name it.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

Jiang Li didn't hesitate for long regarding Chen Xin's suggestion.

After pondering for a while, he looked at the sword in his hand and said solemnly.

"Since my swordsmanship is to cut down everything, this sword must also inherit my swordsmanship. There is no other person like me in this world. So I will name you: Peerless."

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Li gripped the Peerless Sword, inhaled deeply, and slightly lowered his body to completely conceal his aura.

Once a certain critical point was reached, Jiang Li's sword was drawn like lightning, and a seemingly ordinary sword aura slashed towards Chen Xin.

Upon seeing this sword energy, Chen Xin indeed showed no sign of underestimating it.

He directly gripped the tree branch and unleashed a sword aura brimming with killing intent towards Jiang Li.

After a brief collision in the air, Chen Xin's sword energy ultimately overwhelmed Jiang Li's.

Although he had won, Chen Xin's face was full of admiration when he looked at Jiang Li.

Because Jiang Li's sword strike just now truly achieved restraint, suppressing all unnecessary external forces, only to unleash all its power at the moment it was needed.

When Chen Xin achieved this, he was twice the age of Jiang Li now.

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Xin summoned his Seven Kill Sword, then looked at Jiang Li with a serious expression and said in a deep voice.

"Xiao Li, I must say, your talent is just like your sword name. Actually, in principle, what I'm about to do is not allowed."

"But after some thought, I realized that my Seven Kill Sword lineage is now facing a decline in its descendants. I don't want to see my Seven Kill Sword Technique gradually forgotten in the future. It would be better for it to be passed down to someone else."

"So, Xiao Li, I have decided to pass on the Seven Kill Sword Technique to you. But I don't want the Seven Kill Sword Technique to hinder your own path of the sword. I only hope that in the future, if you encounter a disciple you feel is worthy, you will pass on this Seven Kill Sword Technique."

After finishing speaking in one breath, Sword Douluo stared straight at Jiang Li in front of him.

Jiang Li was momentarily lost in thought after hearing this.

Because you have to understand, for people in the cultivation world...

This so-called inherited technique is valued more than anything, especially the Seven Kill Sword Technique, a family secret.

Even if the younger generation dies out, it should only be passed on to a direct disciple.

However, since neither he nor Chen Xin were master and disciple, the other party still chose to pass it on to him. Jiang Li understood the depth of their relationship better than anyone else.

After realizing what was happening, Jiang Li looked at Chen Xin and suddenly gave him three deep bows at a 90-degree angle.

Upon witnessing this scene, Sword Douluo's eyes revealed a tender affection for his junior.

Next, Sword Douluo began to teach Jiang Li the Seven Kill Sword Technique. While Jiang Li was immersed in learning the Seven Kill Sword Technique, two more years passed unnoticed in the outside world...
