Chapter 897 Mystical Sword

The next day, Sword Ancestor arrived. Ye Fan was quite frustrated, and he asked, “Master, it seems I’ve upset the other three masters!”

“But I truly meant no harm!”

Ye Fan wasn’t intentional, so now he needed understanding.

Sword Ancestor chuckled, “Hahaha, don’t overthink it, those three old men are getting senile, plus you’ve made such a monster like an impression on them!”

“If they’re not upset, there’d be a problem.”

At this moment, Ye Fan nodded, then asked, “Master, what will you teach me today?”

Sword Ancestor smiled, “I won’t teach you anything, because I have nothing to teach. You are like a perfect jade, if I were to teach you, I would only ruin that jade!”

“By then, the beautiful jade would lose its value.”

“Then Master…..”

Ye Fan didn’t know Sword Ancestor’s purpose for finding him.

Sword Ancestor said, “I’m here to learn from you!

“No, really?”

Ye Fan couldn’t believe it; to think that Sword Ancestor and Demon Ancestor, the strongest existences in the Heavenly Martial Continent, would want to learn from him.

Although Ye Fan was indeed monstrous, he fully agreed in this case.

Still, he didn’t think he’d be so monstrous as to be someone Sword Ancestor needed to consult; what significance did he hold?

Sword Ancestor said, “That’s right, because the point you discussed with Sword Saint yesterday caught my attention. Therefore, this is what I want to consult you about!”

Ye Fan didn’t expect the Sword Ancestor to seek consultation on this aspect; seems his point of discussion was indeed valuable.

Therefore, he said to Sword Ancestor, “Master, that was just something I said casually, don’t take it seriously!”

But Sword Ancestor said, “That was definitely not random talk. Since you clarified such a perspective, it proves you are quite foresighted!”

“Foresight even surpassing mine! So, don’t hold back!”

Sword Ancestor smiled.

Ye Fan suddenly felt immense pressure, but he was only thinking for the sake of Sword Sect; right or wrong, he was at peace with himself.

Therefore, he said to Sword Ancestor, “Master, I believe while our Human Clan has reached the peak in Sword Dao, the Martial Arts domain has been neglected.”

“Take my previous world as an example!”

Ye Fan said, “In my previous world, although a Barbaric World, ultimately their talent wasn’t weak, the weak point was the Spiritual Energy!”

“In my world, it was a vibrant world of Martial Arts, including Martial Arts, Sword Dao, Array, and even Beast Control Technique, though these are just a part!”

“But generally, the martial artists practicing Martial Arts were the most numerous, constituting seven to eight out of ten!”

“Sword Dao came next!”

“Meaning, out of ten people, perhaps not even one had good talent for Sword Dao, but for Martial Arts, it was almost universally potent!”

He further said:

“Perhaps we could emulate the previous world and train in multiple Cultivation Techniques, of course, Sword Dao should not be abandoned!

“This is merely aimed at individuals! Train in what suits you, and don’t be restricted too much; one should fully unleash their most potential aspect!”

In this sword-dominated world, Ye Fan’s words could easily incur multiple death sentences, yet he spoke them without hesitation.

Instantly, Sword Ancestor fell into contemplation.

Later, he said, “I support your viewpoint!

“Perhaps this is the reason my Sword Dao couldn’t surpass the Demon Path, even though Demon geniuses are numerous, my Sword Dao is definitely not weak!”

“The Demon Path has always been an advanced existence, surpassing my Sword Dao greatly!”

“By emulating what you said, perhaps we truly can surpass the Demon Path!”

Sword Ancestor highly admired Ye Fan’s perspective, because after the Sword Tao Ancestor, they represented the pinnacle of existence,

Even if it wasn’t extraordinary.

But after so many years, aside from them, no one from the Human Clan has reached Ancestor Realm Ninth Grade, maybe their method was wrong.

After conversing with Ye Fan, Sword Ancestor seemed to realize a lot.

Therefore, at that moment, he expressed support for Ye Fan.

Then he said to Ye Fan, “We need to reform, can you assist us?”

“Disciple is willing to serve!”

Ye Fan replied.

Sword Ancestor nodded, “Good, I believe Sword Sect will undergo earth-shattering changes!

Then Sword Ancestor spoke again, “If successful, it will surely benefit the entire Human Clan, but if we fail, we will be sinners of the Human Clan. Are you willing to share the burden?

“Why wouldn’t I dare? I might not be capable of much, but I am certainly courageous!”

Ye Fan, too, was a straightforward person.

Sword Ancestor was very pleased with Ye Fan because everything Ye Fan did was perfectly fitting; he wanted such a foresighted disciple.

Even if they fail, what harm, as they would have tried genuinely.

Ye Fan then asked, “Master, are you truly not teaching me anything?

Sword Ancestor was speechless; he didn’t want to be embarrassed like the other three had been, and if he taught now, he might lose his reputation too.

So at this moment, he directly ignored it.

And he said, “As I said earlier, you are a perfect jade, we cannot ruin it, but you’ve created a set of Slaughter Heaven Eight Swords; perhaps we few old men can help improve it!”

“Really?”

Ye Fan asked joyfully.

Though his Slaughter Heaven Eight Swords seemed perfect, Ye Fan knew often such situations hid deadly traps, where perfection lies a terrifying crisis.

This crisis must be removed, or else it truly becomes dangerous.

“Of course, improving methods abound, but the one we propose is the most practical!”

“What method?”

Ye Fan curiously asked.

Sword Ancestor said, “That is, the four of us old men will use our swordsmanship against you; if you can suppress our swordsmanship, then it’s truly perfect!”

“But if you can’t counter one form, then you must refine your Swordsmanship, and we will pass on our Mystical Sword to you!

“Alright!”

Ye Fan was delighted, this is what he wanted, as it marked a true challenge.

Thus Ye Fan agreed without hesitation.

The next day, four Sword Dao Experts came together.

“Masters, who will be my opponent first?”

Ye Fan asked.

“Of course, me!

Sword Emperor was indeed hot-tempered; ever since he made a fool of himself before Ye Fan last time, this time, he vowed to redeem himself.

Suddenly, he displayed his Swordsmanship.

“Emperor Sword Technique!”

Representing the profound stance of dominating with majesty.

When Emperor Sword Technique was unleashed, Ye Fan felt suppressed, thus he quickly used Slaughter Heaven Eight Swords to counter.

Sword Emperor’s swordsmanship was focused on oppression, making opponents feel defeated without engagement.

Moreover, Sword Emperor had studied his Emperor Sword Technique to a new height, earning incredible respect for his Mystical Sword.

Not many moves passed before Ye Fan was defeated.

Sword Emperor was delighted; he immediately laughed heartily, “Kid, there you go!”

Ye Fan was speechless! Why did he feel Sword Emperor had a schadenfreude attitude? Yes, indeed, schadenfreude; seems he truly provoked the three masters.

After a few more bouts, Ye Fan was comprehensively defeated, seems his Slaughter Heaven Sword Technique, though formidable, contained too many flaws; fine for ordinary people.

Even adequate against Sect Leader Level, but against the likes of Sword Emperor, leading Swordsmanship shining stars, it fell short.

Therefore, on the first day, he failed.

Then that evening, he delved into his Swordsmanship, removing all weaknesses, believing this time, there would be no more flaws.

The following day, he battled One-Armed Sword Saint, facing the terrifying One-Armed Sword Technique, Ye Fan believed his Swordsmanship was now flawless.

Yet this time, he failed again.

Since sword techniques interact and counteract; you could restrain one method, exposing weaknesses to another form.

This is a substantial issue; nothing is perfect globally, and likewise, no Swordmanship is entirely perfect.

Therefore, he used four moves and found himself in the Sword Saint’s hands.

This time, he didn’t just study one night but for three whole days, believing now, against One-Armed Sword Saint and Sword Emperor, his Swordsmanship would surely suppress them.

Three days later, Ye Fan emerged once more; this time, he faced Sword Immortal.

Sword Immortal immediately acted, Ye Fan unleashed his Slaughter Heaven Eight Swords, this time,

He was confident against Sword Immortal; his Swordsmanship improved enough to withstand a few moves.

This time, during the seventh sword, he couldn’t break Sword Immortal’s Mystical Sword, hence he failed.
