章 8: Chapter 8: Terrifying Strength, Shocked Old Ma! _1
In front of the Zhenyuan Escort Agency.
Upon seeing Jiang Yuan, Old Ma's face filled with delight. "Young Master, you are incredible! Gu Mo's talent in swordsmanship is indeed terrifying just as you said!"
"Oh, how terrifying it is?"
"A little while before you arrived, Gu Mo had fully understood the Wind Thunder Sword Technique. In half a day, he surpassed what the old master learned in his lifetime. It's simply inconceivable!"
Old Ma was visibly astonished.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan merely smiled, not the least bit surprised.
He had just personally experienced the power of Blue Innate Luck Energy, so he naturally understood that the Purple Innate Luck Energy on top of it would be even more terrifying.
Now, no matter how Gu Mo performed, it all seemed reasonable to him.
At this moment, Gu Mo in the distance still had his eyes closed.
Suddenly, he resembled a sharp sword drawn from its sheath. His qi surged forth, extremely fierce.
"Young Master, what is he...?" Old Ma asked in surprise.
"I suspect Gu Mo is comprehending sword intent!"
"Sword Intent? No...that's not possible!" Old Ma widened his eyes in shock. "Isn't sword intent something that only immortals can comprehend? If mortals like us could comprehend sword intent, we would inevitably transcend the ordinary and join the ranks of the immortals in the future. Gu Mo is merely at the seventh level of the Body Forging Realm. How is it possible for him to comprehend sword intent at this stage?"
Facing Old Ma's skepticism, Jiang Yuan just smiled and did not speak.
Gu Mo not only possesses the Purple-rated Innate Fate of Sword God's Talent.
He also has a green Innate Fate, a divine soul naturally formed with great mental strength.
[Divine Soul Naturally Formed]: Naturally possessing a divine soul, superior with five senses, possessing strong mental power.
With his immense talent for swordsmanship and strong mental power, it's not impossible for him to comprehend sword intent ahead of time. In fact, it would be irrational if he couldn't.
The two stood still for a long while.
Gu Mo slowly opened his eyes.
For a moment, there seemed to be a flash of sword light in his eyes, extraordinarily bright.
Jiang Yuan approached him, "How do you feel?"
On Gu Mo's face which hardly smiled, a smirk appeared.
"Very good! Extremely good! Thanks to the Young Master's guidance, I realize today who I really am!"
Gu Mo's eyes shone bright and his manner was high-spirited.
Meanwhile, Old Ma came closer, face full of envy, "Gu Mo, did you really understand the sword intent?"
Gu Mo nodded, then shook his head.
"I'm a little short, but given a few days to ponder, I have faith I can concentrate on understanding my very own sword intent."
Upon hearing this, Old Ma was flabbergasted.
"It really... It really is as Young Master said."
Then he looked at Jiang Yuan with a face full of admiration, "Young Master, you are truly a divine being!"
Gu Mo too looked at Jiang Yuan with full respect, "Young Master, I will never forget the grace you showed me today in my entire life."
Jiang Yuan smiled and changed the topic, "After revising the Wind Thunder Sword Technique, did the progress of body transformation improve?"
Gu Mo shook his head.
"Not that much has changed, only a slight improvement. However, my strength has improved a lot compared to before."
He held his mighty sword and said, "Young Master, I feel the sword intent I am about to comprehend is not suitable for heavy swords. It is more suitable for light swords. The Wind Thunder Sword Technique has two true meanings of wind and thunder. My comprehension of the wind's meaning is a bit deeper."
"Then, I will send someone to forge a new long sword for you tomorrow."
"Thank you, Young Master!"
Jiang Yuan nodded slightly, his thoughts intensifying.
All of Gu Mo's changes were within his expectations, but there wasn't much change in the progress of body transformation, which was a bit surprising.
Subconsciously, he opened Gu Mo's status panel for another look.
[Name]: Gu Mo
[Realm]: Seventh Layer of the Body Forging Realm
[Innate Fate]: Sword God's Talent (Purple), Innate Divine Soul (Green), Roughly Understands Blade Technique (White)
Next, his gaze gathered once more on the Sword God's Talent.
[Sword God's Talent]: Exceptional talent in swordsmanship can be considered divine among mortals, the cultivation of all sword techniques will progress by leaps and bounds every day.
After thoroughly reading its description once.
Jiang Yuan suddenly understood something.
Perhaps his talent doesn't lie in the Body Forging Realm.
So even if his swordsmanship talent is high, his cultivation efficiency in the Body Forging realm is limited and cannot compare to Zhao Li's exaggerated performance.
In the Body Forging Realm, the speed of refining the physical body may not be as powerful as his prior green-level outstanding physique.
The emphasis of each Innate Qi Luck was different, and their effects may be drastically different.
Having thought of this, Jiang Yuan instantaneously arrived at a new understanding.
Then, Jiang Yuan said: "Gu Mo, compared to before, how much has your strength improved?"
Gu Mo pondered for a moment: "Previously, I was only in the middle or lower tier of Body Forging Realm Seven, now I am confident that I am invincible in Lin'an County at the same realm, even when facing a Level Eight Spiritual Cultivator, I have no fear."
As he said this, he added: "In a few more days, my Wind Thunder Sword technique will advance further, and my capabilities will be enhanced. If I could comprehend the meaning of the sword, I would be confident to confront a Level Nine Body Forging cultivator."
Ma standing beside them was incredulous: "That's too outrageous, you can cross realms to fight? The strength between Body Forging Eight and Seven is more than double, the powerful ones even possess nearly ten thousand pounds of force. Their internal energy is several times stronger, aren't you afraid of them?"
Gu Mo nodded his head: "Not afraid!"
Jiang Yuan said: "That's enough! Tomorrow the two of you will accompany me out of the city, to collect my father's corpse and erect a tombstone for him at the place where he passed away."
"Absolutely not!" Old Ma immediately tried to dissuade him: "Only by not revealing the secret of his death do we have a chance to breathe. According to Gu Mo, with some more time, his capabilities will greatly improve, and we will be able to defend ourselves by then."
"If the news of the death of our old master is confirmed, even with the protection of the County Honour, we will still face a crisis."
He paused, and said: "The most important thing is, Lei Zhan has been played by the Young Master before, if he receives the news from the city, he will definitely be wrathful and seek out the Young Master. Even with Gu Mo alone, a tiger cannot stand against a pack of wolves, right?"
Jiang Yuan shook his head: "As a son, how can I allow my father's body to decompose in the wilderness!"
Then he added: "Besides, who said it would only be Gu Mo."
Having said this, Jiang Yuan lightly placed his right palm on Old Ma's shoulder, and exerted a little force.
Boom!
The slate under Old Ma's feet instantly shattered, and the ground caved in slightly.
His face turned beet red, and he was tottering, as if about to kneel at any moment.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuan immediately withdrew his strength.
"How is it?"
Old Ma gasped for breath, his face full of disbelief.
"How...how is this possible! Young Master, when did you become so powerful! I could hardly breathe with just one hand of yours! Such strength! It's...a bit inhuman! Just what level has Young Master reached now?"
"Sixth Level, Marrow Refinement."
Jiang Yuan then asked: "What do you think of my current strength?"
Old Ma pondered for a moment and said: "If we're not considering battle experience, the strength Young Master just demonstrated is enough to dominate at the same realm. Compared to the Seventh Level of Body Forging, it's not inferior, even somewhat stronger."
Jiang Yuan smiled, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
Just now, he had only exerted three levels of strength, and had suppressed Old Ma, a Body Forging Realm Six expert, single-handedly.
It seemed that he could now fight against Seventh Level experts.
Not only was his strength terrifying, but the resilience of his body far exceeded that of ordinary people.
When integrated into a whole, it was not as simple as one plus one equals two.
Jiang Yuan said: "Gu Mo and I, are almost equivalent to the pairing of an Eighth Level and Seventh Level expert, what is there to worry about leaving the city?"
Old Ma nodded when he heard this: "Then everything follows Young Master's arrangements."
Gu Mo also said: "Just command as you see fit."
Jiang Yuan nodded: "Then it's settled, we set off tomorrow morning."
Then he silently said to himself, we have the same name and looks, and undeniably have some connection that I don't know about.
Doing so, it could be considered as understanding some karma.
