213: The Supervisor Presents a Sword! Dugu's Confusion

Li Shengyuan's blade dao was fierce and overbearing, and combined with the True Intent of Destruction, its power would be even stronger!

However, his sword dao had a continuous, unending, and eternally flowing feeling, like a trickling stream.

These were two completely different paths.

If he hadn't already possessed the conflicting powers of Divine and Demonic energy, he would likely find it very difficult to comprehend and control them.

Li Shengyuan then showed a satisfied smile; his sword dao could break through to the second rank after only five moves against Sword Saint Dugu. Fighting against top experts truly was the fastest shortcut to improving oneself!

Li Shengyuan looked at Sword Saint Dugu, whose eyes held confusion, with a fervent gaze, and chuckled,

"My ability to elevate my sword dao comprehension to the second rank this time is all thanks to Senior Sword Saint Dugu!"

"Ten moves haven't passed yet, Senior Dugu, care for another round?"

The Chancellor, however, waved his hand and smiled, "That's enough. You brat, don't tell me you're actually addicted to fighting!"

"Being able to raise your sword dao comprehension to the second rank in just five moves is very good. Continuing to spar won't be of much use."

Li Shengyuan looked at the smiling old Chancellor with eager eyes and said,

"Then, Chancellor, are you going to fulfill your promise?!"

"You brat, you really don't do anything without benefit, do you!" The Chancellor shook his head and chuckled helplessly.

"Your strength improvement isn't helping me improve, yet you're asking me, an old man, for a reward..."

Li Shengyuan blinked, lost in thought. Why did that sound so familiar...

Before he could ponder further, the Chancellor flicked his fingers, and an ancient, simple longsword flew before Li Shengyuan. He calmly introduced it,

"This sword was something this old man obtained by chance in an ancient ruin a long time ago. It is quite extraordinary; its true power is something you'll have to uncover yourself!"

Li Shengyuan took the longsword and curiously stroked its blade.

He quickly came to a conclusion:

This was just a very ordinary sword...

Li Shengyuan looked at the Chancellor, who was calmly drinking tea, and really wanted to ask, "Old man, are you really not just humoring me?"

This thing looked like an ordinary sword!

However, Li Shengyuan shook his head and still accepted it. The Chancellor obtained it from an ancient ruin, and he himself said it was a good treasure, so it shouldn't be bad...

Although the sword formation he had in mind was a bit different, it would still suffice.

Li Shengyuan did not place this ancient sword together with his Chop Abyss. That blade already had a spirit; if it knew he had become a 'madam', it would probably come out and cause a scene with him...

The Chancellor put down his teacup and calmly said, "Your sword dao is indeed suitable for a sword formation, but a top-tier sword formation is something that can be encountered but not sought. This old man does not specialize in swords, so if you want one, you'll have to find it yourself later..."

Li Shengyuan glanced at the Chancellor. Could this old man read his thoughts like Ye Hangzhou's bird?

Or did he calculate it?

"Stop looking, come over and have a couple of drinks, keep this lonely old man company."

"No problem!" Li Shengyuan smiled slightly and returned to his previous seat.

Chu Xinghe looked at Li Shengyuan with considerable envy. First a blade, then the Imperial Observatory's great treasure, the Sky Battlecruiser, and now a sword...

He and Ye Hangzhou both wondered if he was the Chancellor's disciple, or if the fellow in front of him was the true disciple.

No, a disciple wouldn't get such good treatment...

Could he be a bastard son?

"Ouch..."

As he thought, Chu Xinghe held his head and groaned in pain, looking at Chancellor with a rather wronged expression.

It was bad enough that he wasn't good to his disciple, but now he was even hitting him...

Sure enough, Li Shengyuan was the real son!

The Chancellor, however, said calmly, "Don't let your imagination run wild."

Li Shengyuan looked back and forth between the master and disciple with a bewildered expression. What secret were they hiding?

At this moment, Sword Saint Dugu, who had taken a sip of tea and whose brows were still tightly furrowed, looked at Li Shengyuan, wanting to speak but hesitating...

The Chancellor calmly said, "Dugu, speak if you wish, there's no need to hold back."

Upon hearing this, Sword Saint Dugu finally made up his mind and asked with confusion,

"I merely observed that Fellow Daoist Li has a... very familiar aura about him, similar to my unworthy disciple Linghu Chong, so I was a little curious..."

Li Shengyuan was taken aback upon hearing this. He had already concealed his Eternal Sword Body, and his sword intent was different from Linghu Chong's.

How could this old Dugu be so sensitive as to detect that?
