76: This is so unfair! Not only is he better than me, he's also more handsome than me!

Chapter 76: Unreasonable! It's one thing to be stronger than me, but he's also damn handsomer!

Hearing Su Han's words, Wan Jianyi was startled.

"This kid!"

"He couldn't have really learned my 'Basic Sword Technique' just by looking at it, right?"

This thought quickly flashed through Wan Jianyi's mind.

But soon, Wan Jianyi shook his head slightly.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"This Basic Sword Technique of mine is condensed from my hundreds of years of Sword Dao insights. How could he grasp it so quickly?"

"Even if he has extraordinary talent, there's no way he could learn it just by looking!"

"Hmph, at most, he's just imitating."

Although Wan Jianyi thought this, for some reason, there was a faint sense of unease.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind, looked at Su Han, and said in a deep voice, "Come on!"

"Let me see your Basic Sword Technique. How dare you say it's better than mine?"

"However, don't blame me for not reminding you..."

"If it's just adding feet to a snake, don't blame me for laughing at you later!"

At this moment, Wan Jianyi had both suspicion towards Su Han and a hint of curiosity.

He wanted to see what kind of Basic Sword Technique Su Han could display and if it was really as powerful as he claimed.

At the same time, he was also preparing to find Su Han's shortcomings while he performed the sword technique.

"So that he could let this kid know that the path of Sword Dao is not so simple."

Wan Jianyi's eyes were fixed on Su Han, his heart filled with anticipation.

He seemed to have already seen the flaws Su Han would reveal while performing the sword technique, ready to give him a heavy blow at the right time and make him put away his arrogance.

Hearing this, Su Han nodded slightly, his expression calm.

"Then, Old Wan, watch carefully!"

Saying this, Su Han didn't use the Ni Lin Sword but instead broke off a bamboo branch and held it in his hand.

Then, he slowly raised the bamboo branch in his hand, his eyes instantly becoming focused and sharp, as if at this moment he had become one with the bamboo in his hand.

"Dongting's white waves, sparse wood leaves, wild geese begin to fly into Wu's clouds; Wu's clouds are cold, wild geese suffer!"

The bamboo branch in Su Han's hand danced like a spiritual snake, every movement incredibly precise, exactly like Wan Jianyi's previous sword technique, yet seemingly with a few more unique nuances.

Amidst the crisscrossing sword energy, the surrounding air was stirred up again, dust flew, and leaves drifted down.

Su Han's figure moved through the air like a ghost, leaving behind streaks of blurred afterimages.

His sword technique was sometimes fierce, like Mount Tai pressing down, and sometimes gentle, like a breeze caressing the face.

"Wind howls, sand rests on Xiangjiang's banks, loyalists mourn autumn, tears like rain."

Su Han's voice echoed in the air, his movements becoming faster and faster, and his sword energy increasingly sharp.

The surrounding rocks were shattered again, and the lake water was stirred up into higher waves.

At this moment.

Wan Jianyi looked at Su Han's sword technique, and the astonishment in his eyes grew stronger.

He had originally thought Su Han was just imitating, but he hadn't expected him to be able to perform his Basic Sword Technique so exquisitely.

Furthermore, in some aspects, Su Han's sword technique seemed to already have its own characteristics.

"This is already seventy to eighty percent similar!"

Wan Jianyi couldn't help but be surprised and uncertain.

"The bright sun is at the heart of the sky, illuminating it can serve a wise ruler."

At this moment, Su Han's voice became more impassioned, and the bamboo branch in his hand danced even more fiercely.

The surrounding air currents began to surge wildly. The sound of wind howled, like ten thousand horses galloping, or like raging waves.

Every swing of the bamboo branch brought forth a strong vortex of air.

The strong wind raged, causing Wan Jianyi's clothes to flap loudly.

He squinted slightly, looking at Su Han's figure like the eye of a storm, his heart filled with shock.

"Just now it was only seventy to eighty percent similar, but now it's completely identical."

"This Su Han, did he really just watch my sword technique once?"

The strong wind seemed to have a life of its own, roaring and howling, spreading outwards.

The distant trees were blown askew, and the sound of branches breaking rose and fell.

Under the strong wind's blowing, the lake water surged with massive waves, crashing against the shore with a deafening sound.

And at this moment.

"Valiant warriors rage, heroic winds arise!"

"How can I obtain the Heavenly Sword, cross the sea and slay the great whale."

As the words fell!

Su Han's Aura suddenly changed.

At this moment, the bamboo branch in his hand seemed to have transformed into a true Nine Heavens Divine Weapon.

His entire body's Aura was like a volcano about to erupt, poised and ready.

The next second.

Su Han suddenly swung the bamboo branch, and an extremely brilliant blue sword energy shot up into the sky, like a dazzling lightning bolt streaking across the vast sky.

Swoosh!

The sword energy pierced through the air, carrying unparalleled power, and sped towards the dark clouds on the distant horizon.

Wherever the sword energy passed, the air was torn apart, emitting a sharp sonic boom.

The dark clouds on the distant horizon originally covered the land heavily, giving a sense of oppressive weight.

But when Su Han's sword energy struck.

The sword energy was like a sharp giant blade, cutting fiercely into the dark clouds.

In an instant, the dark clouds were split in two, and a bright moonlight spilled down from the rift, illuminating Su Han alone.

"Holy crap!"

Wan Jianyi stared blankly at the dark clouds split in two and Su Han standing proudly under the bright moonlight spilling from the rift, utterly stunned.

He had never thought that Su Han's talent could reach such an astonishing level.

This sword strike was no longer just a perfect performance of his Basic Sword Technique; it was a transcendence, a complete transcendence!

"This... how is this possible?"

Wan Jianyi's lips trembled slightly, his mind in chaos.

He prided himself on having immersed himself in the Sword Dao for hundreds of years, and this Basic Sword Technique was the culmination of his life's insights...

But he had never thought that one day he would be surpassed so easily by a young man.

His eyes were full of disbelief, as if everything happening before him was just an illusory dream.

But the air torn by the sword energy, the still howling strong wind, the severed dark clouds...

Were all telling him with absolute clarity that all of this was real.

"This kid's talent, 'Genius' is not enough to describe it, it's simply defying nature!"

"Just by looking at my sword technique once, he could not only perfectly perform it but also achieve transcendence in such a short time."

"I originally thought I had reached the pinnacle in Sword Dao. Now it seems I was just a frog in a well."

Wan Jianyi shook his head.

"Valiant warriors rage, heroic winds arise; how can I obtain the Heavenly Sword, cross the sea and slay the great whale..."

"And the most infuriating thing is, his poem is also damn better than mine, and his sword technique is also damn handsomer and more unrestrained than mine..."

"Valiant warriors rage, heroic winds arise; how can I obtain the Heavenly Sword, cross the sea and slay the great whale!"

At this moment, a strong sense of frustration surged in Wan Jianyi's heart.

But at the same time, there was a trace of indescribable excitement.

The frustration came from his pride being instantly shattered, while the excitement was because he saw new possibilities in the Sword Dao.

He seemed to see a brand new Peak of Sword Dao slowly unfolding before him, and Su Han was the person standing at that Peak.

Wan Jianyi took a deep breath, trying to calm the shock in his heart.

He looked at Su Han, his eyes showing a bit more respect and anticipation.

"This kid's future achievements are indeed limitless!"

"Perhaps the Qingyun Sect will usher in unprecedented glory!"

Su Han took a deep breath at this moment, looking at the bamboo branch in his hand, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"Wan Jianyi is indeed Wan Jianyi!"

"Even a set of Basic Sword Techniques can give me such gains?!"
