196: Is the young clan member's swordsmanship aptitude genuine?

"Senior Sister!" Yue Chan Sword Immortal was instantly stunned, thinking incredulously, "But Senior Sister, this is our sect's..."

"You've misunderstood my meaning. I didn't tell you to give him the Great Evolution Nine Swords; besides, you don't have them anyway."

"I only asked you to give him the rubbings of the third sword you've cultivated to study. If he can't even comprehend that, he will naturally retreat in the face of difficulty. The Shen Family is powerful and we, the Great Evolution Sword Sect, cannot afford to offend them, but no matter how overbearing the Shen Family descendant is, he can't blame us if their Young Clan Leader can't learn it, right..."

"Give it to him. As for your Disciple's death, let it go. I warned you long ago that while this child has good talent, his Heart-Nature is lacking, and trouble will inevitably arise sooner or later. Don't take it to heart. Having cultivated for so many years, surely you can let go after seeing so much life and death..."

After hearing this, Yue Chan Sword Immortal understood and immediately thought, "I understand, Senior Sister..."

Immediately after.

"Young Clan Master Shen, the Great Evolution Nine Swords can be given to you, but I must say this first: the Great Evolution Nine Swords were created by the ancestor of our Great Evolution Sword Sect. To comprehend the true Nine Swords, you must first learn the rubbings. If the Young Clan Leader cannot even comprehend these rubbings, then it has nothing to do with me."

Yue Chan Sword Immortal said this with a cold face, and a brilliant seven-colored Sword Intent condensed behind her, rapidly forming a three-foot-long blade that hovered in front of her.

The next second.

This three-foot seven-colored sword flew to Shen Nian.

"Sword Mother, why does he want those Nine Swords? Is that sliver of Destruction True Intent very precious?" Jiang Churan expressed her confusion, asking in her heart. With her monstrous Sword Dao talent, she naturally saw the aura contained within Zhang Zhiran's sword strike.

"Destruction True Intent is as common as hair on an ox in the Major Thousand Worlds, so it's nothing special. But if one can comprehend the Great Dao of Destruction, that would be extraordinary. The path of Destruction is a Great Dao; one who merges with this Great Dao will surely become a True Immortal, and in the Immortal Realm, they would be invincible!" Nine Tribulations Sword Spirit explained, a hint of contemplation in her eyes, and added, "He must have also sensed the aura of the Destruction True Intent and deduced that the other eight swords likely contain Great Dao True Intent as well, which is why he wants the Nine Swords."

"However, the creator of these Nine Swords must have had a Heaven-Defying Opportunity to comprehend the True Intent. Without the inheritance of the True Intent, it is very difficult to unleash the true power of these Nine Swords. It seems this person himself hasn't fully mastered the Nine Swords, having created them from nine Great Daos... He is quite a figure." Nine Tribulations Sword Spirit couldn't help but praise. In her eyes, anyone who could be called a 'figure' was an existence from an Ancient Realm!

"Without the True Intent, can one not comprehend these Nine Swords?" Jiang Churan asked again, puzzled.

"Difficult!"

"Even for you, I'm afraid it would take a significant amount of time, and that's assuming your Glazed Sword Heart is fully awakened. For an ordinary person, it would be no different from a pipe dream." Nine Tribulations Sword Spirit said, then recalled something and added, "However, I do hope he manages to get these Nine Swords. That way, if he can't Cultivate them, you can find a way to trade for them with other items. If these Nine Swords can truly be cultivated simultaneously, they would no longer be ordinary mortal sword techniques..."

"Even for these rubbings, it is as difficult as ascending to heaven for an ordinary person to comprehend and learn them. This woman from the Great Evolution Sword Sect is quite clever; this way, even the Shen Family cannot say much..."

After all, if someone gave it to you and you couldn't learn it, who could you blame?

Jiang Churan looked at Shen Nian's back and couldn't help but think, "Sword Mother, why do I have a premonition that he will be able to learn it, and very quickly..."

"A Sword Dao Divine Ability containing Great Dao True Intent is completely different from the Canglan Sword Formation; this is absolutely impossible." Nine Tribulations Sword Spirit chuckled. Although she still hadn't figured out how Shen Nian comprehended things so quickly, it was still within her range of acceptance; after all, what kind of Prodigy hadn't she seen?

"Sword Mother, let's make a bet. If he really does it, you give me a month's vacation, okay?" Jiang Churan immediately perked up and said.

Nine Tribulations Sword Spirit gave a disdainful smile and said, "Very well."

At the same time, Nine Tribulations Sword Spirit muttered to herself, 'If he is truly this much of a Prodigy, I might consider changing masters.'

Immediately after.

Shen Nian was seen grasping the three-foot seven-colored sword in front of him, a flash of indifference in his pupils.

[Ding, 10 Simulation Points exchanged.]

[Beginning deduction of the Great Evolution Nine Swords, Third Sword Rubbing...]

[Deduction complete, Host has successfully learned the Great Evolution Third Sword Rubbing.]

"Young Clan Master Shen, take your time to comprehend it. I have matters to attend to, so I shall take my leave." Yue Chan Sword Immortal showed a trace of impatience and turned to leave; she didn't want to stay in this place for even a moment longer.

But the next second, Yue Chan Sword Immortal's delicate body trembled. She turned around to look, her pupils constricting, as if she had seen a scene she would never forget in her life.

She saw that the young man in white was surrounded by seven-colored Sword Intent, and in his hands, multiple phantom images of the Great Evolution Third Sword Rubbing were continuously condensing. She was all too familiar with that aura, and in the white-clad youth's disdainful eyes, it seemed to be saying: "Is this it?"

"How is it possible..."

"In just a few breaths, he learned it??"

"What the hell is this!!!" Yue Chan Sword Immortal's mouth widened; it was hard to imagine that a Sword Cultivator who had lived for a thousand years and reached the Dao Integration realm would make such an exaggerated expression at this moment.

It wasn't just her.

Sword Maniac was dumbfounded. As a Sword Dao mighty figure, how could he not see how difficult the third sword rubbing was? Even he hadn't been able to see the clues at first.

"Heaven-Defying... Heaven-Defying...!"

"This Sword Dao Comprehension Ability is truly Heaven-Defying!!!" Slaughter Three Wakes was chattering endlessly on the side, his face full of disbelief.

Meanwhile, the Shen Family Elders who were watching this scene from the shadows were all silent.

"What the hell?"

"Is this Young Clan Leader's Sword Dao Comprehension Ability for real??"

"Something's wrong, something's wrong, it's only been a few breaths!!"

In that pavilion in the distance.

"Holy sh*t, there's a ghost!" Shen Qianqiu couldn't help but exclaim.

Beside him, Shen Na's eyes were filled with thick shock.

Shen Ye rubbed his bald head and revealed a bitter smile, saying, "It seems we have all been deceived by the Old Ancestor. This is no mediocre Sword Cultivator; this is clearly a super Prodigy in the Sword Dao that is rarely seen in ten thousand years. Truly, a mother's son is just like her..."

Shen Wudao's eyes narrowed slightly, but a strand of Battle Intent appeared in his pupils. Only a Young Clan Leader like this could be truly regarded as an opponent by him!

And the most surprised of all was the Nine Tribulations Sword Spirit, who understood the Sword Dao the best.

"How could this be..."

"To be able to comprehend a Sword Dao containing a sliver of True Intent at a single glance—even my former master couldn't do that at his age..."

"But why does his talent seem average every time I look at him, yet why is he so fast?!"

"Wait, his Sword Dao talent has become a sliver stronger again..."

"This..." Nine Tribulations Sword Spirit was shocked beyond measure.

At this very moment, in a secluded courtyard deep within the Shen Family.

"Incredible, incredible. How has this kid's Sword Dao talent become so ridiculous in just six years? It's truly strange. I wonder if his Talisman Dao talent will also..." Shen Min muttered to himself, his expression full of shock.
