33: Li Yi: I feel uncomfortable if I don’t pretend for a day

“What! How could you pull out my sword!”

Yue Yangchen’s eyes nearly popped out in shock as he stared straight at Li Yi.

Li Yi snorted and didn’t reply, instead looking at the sword in his hand.

This sword was not bad; it had intelligence, but compared to the Feixue Sword, it was not on the same level. It was barely usable.

A sword that had acknowledged a master could indeed not be used by others, but it also depended on the person.

Li Yi’s Congenital Sword Qi entwined around it, making it recognize who was more suitable to be its master, breaking the restriction of acknowledgment and allowing it to be used freely by Li Yi.

“This is impossible!”

Yue Yangchen watched his sword cooperate with Li Yi, incredulous. You are my sword!

It cooperated with someone else right in front of him, and what was even more heart-wrenching was that it showed no reluctance at all; on the contrary, it was very willing and even more eager to cooperate with Li Yi.

This treatment was something even he had never enjoyed.

This sword was one of the famous swords of Yue Mountain Sect. Even a Sword Dao Genius like Yue Yangchen did not receive its recognition immediately, but rather gained it through long periods of tempering, leading to its acknowledgment of him as its master.

Yet, Li Yi, an outsider, used it freely, and his previous tempering with it instantly became a joke.

For a swordsman like Yue Yangchen, a sword was like a wife. His own wife being used casually by someone else, and she even cooperated more, even more than when he used her—wasn’t this a slap in Yue Yangchen’s face!

It wasn’t just Yue Yangchen; everyone present was shocked, especially the people from Yue Mountain Sect.

They all knew Yue Yangchen’s sword had acknowledged him as its master, so why could Li Yi use it? What was so special about this kid?

Li Yi felt the sword’s enthusiasm; it really wanted to dance with Li Yi. Being used by Li Yi was its honor.

Naturally, Li Yi would not let it down. He took it and showed off his swordsmanship in front of its master.

The only problem was that this sword was somewhat disproportionate to Li Yi’s still childlike figure, looking quite comical, but it didn’t affect Li Yi’s display of swordsmanship.

He gripped the sword and swung it.

Because the sword had intelligence, Li Yi didn’t need to exert effort to lift it. The sword and Li Yi were connected in spirit, allowing it to complete sword moves according to Li Yi’s will.

The next moment, Li Yi effortlessly used Yue Yangchen’s self-created swordsmanship, complete in form and spirit, flowing like water, extremely proficiently.

It was even better than Yue Yangchen himself used it, more exquisite, and even had subtle modifications that made the swordsmanship even more perfect.

He had originally intended to perform it exactly as it was, but his Sword Dao Root Bone made Li Yi pursue the ultimate in swordsmanship. He couldn't bear to see such crude errors; they had to be corrected.

Seeing Li Yi perform the swordsmanship with such fluidity, everyone present’s jaws undoubtedly dropped to the ground. They stared at Li Yi in dumbfounded amazement, like idiots.

After the performance, Li Yi sheathed the sword. The sword body trembled slightly, seemingly very happy with Li Yi’s performance of the swordsmanship.

“This…”

At this moment, they truly believed that Li Yi really could do it.

But the problem was, Li Yi had only glanced at it and didn’t understand the sword art’s incantations or Cultivation techniques. Logically speaking, even if Li Yi was extraordinarily gifted and could learn it at a glance, it should only be the sword moves. Why was it complete in form and spirit?

Even more terrifyingly, it was better and more proficient than Yue Yangchen’s, and he had even improved it.

He was only a one-year-old child!

You call this a one-year-old child? This is too Heaven-Defying!

“Impossible!”

At this moment, the most panicked was Yue Yangchen. The swordsmanship he had painstakingly researched for years, which he had hoped would astound everyone, was learned in a single glance by a little brat.

Using his sword, better than him, Yue Yangchen found it hard to accept and was deeply struck.

He took a step back, as if startled, lost his footing, and sat down on the ground.

“You… what kind of monster are you!” Yue Yangchen demanded.

“Hmph!”

Li Yi snorted proudly, too lazy to answer Yue Yangchen’s question. How could mere common players like them understand his baby’s greatness?

“Now you know how great I am, right?” Li Yi proudly raised his head and returned the sword to Yue Yangchen: “Cultivate well. Don’t let this good sword down, and don’t mind me. In Sword Dao… you won’t be able to catch up to my steps.”

With his hands clasped behind his back, he looked exactly like an expert.

The originally shocked crowd now only felt that this kid was so arrogant! So punchable!

He was putting on a great show.

Li Yi: If I have a System and don’t show off, what’s the point of having this System?

Showing off makes me happy. I feel uncomfortable if I don’t show off for a day. The meaning of life lies in endless showing off. A life without showing off is incomplete and utterly boring.

Li Xue'er smiled, amused, seeing Li Yi with his hands behind his back, looking like a little expert.

My little brother is so cute!

No one paid attention to the Saintess’s smile at this moment, because their attention was entirely on Li Yi.

Xiao Hanyan’s expression rarely turned serious, no longer languid. No wonder Li Xue'er was so confident; Li Yi’s talent was truly a Prodigy, something Xiao Hanyan hadn't expected and couldn't have imagined.

What Li Yi had achieved, even Xiao Hanyan, who was in the Martial尊 realm, could not do.

This child will surely be a top Genius who surpasses her in the future!

“This child is too much of a Prodigy!”

“There’s a gap even among Geniuses!”

“I finally understand.”

Completely contrary to their previous attitude of wanting to kill Li Yi, at this moment, they realized that Li Yi, this little brat, was the true Genius!

Such an unprecedented, peerless Genius—who wouldn't treat him like a treasure?

If Li Yi were a Disciple of their Sect, they would have their Sect’s most beautiful woman take care of the child, even if it meant letting the child pee on their head.

Even if Li Yi wanted to be the Sect Master, they would abdicate immediately, no need to wait until tomorrow.

Taiqing Sect truly was a great Sect; its Luck was not just a little good. First Li Xue'er, now Li Yi—how were other Sects supposed to survive!

Li Yi, with his short legs, ran to Li Xue'er: “Sister, wasn’t I amazing?”

Li Xue'er smiled and patted Li Yi’s head, praising him gently: “Xiao Yi is the most amazing.”

She reached out, picked up Li Yi, and said to Yue Yangchen: “How about it? Do you believe my little brother is a Sword Dao Genius now?”

This was not only for Yue Yangchen but for everyone present. The voices that had previously questioned Li Yi instantly ceased.

Li Yi was not just a Sword Dao Genius; he was a Prodigy—no, more of a Prodigy than a Prodigy!

“I… I believe it.”

Yue Yangchen dejectedly picked up his sword. As he touched it, he felt its disdain, as if it was saying, “Look how others use me; learn from it.”

At this moment, Yue Yangchen’s Dao Heart was shattered, and Li Yi became Yue Yangchen’s Heart Demon.

Li Xue'er said: “Is there anyone else who wants to exchange martial arts?”

With Li Yi’s appearance, who would dare to show their face? Without a doubt, Li Yi was the champion of this martial arts exchange meeting.

Zhang Zhiyuan came back to his senses, recalling the translation of the ancient scripture. It really might have been this kid; what a Prodigy!

He announced: “I declare that the champion of this martial arts exchange meeting is Li Yi of Taiqing Sect!”

This result was undisputed.
