Chapter 1, The Royal Court

If the sword is born, the autumn water leaves no trace

Swordsman, Swordmaster, Sword Saint

There is also the rumored Sword Saint, who transcends the sword masters, surpasses the extraordinary, and exerts overwhelming power over imperial authority.

Wang Ting muttered to himself, his ring finger and little finger trembling slightly

Therefore, Suk was completely unaware of what he was saying regarding the duel with Gongsun Su.

I encountered you

Wang Ting does not care; what truly matters to Wang Ting is the improvement of the sword cultivation system in this world

Because I have arrived

However, here ... ...

No one knows the difficulties and the immense costs that the royal court, having reached the pinnacle of swordsmanship, has endured in its relentless pursuit of further advancement.

His name is Su Ke, one of the owners of this twenty-square-meter small room, or rather, he is the roommate of Wang Ting's body

Sighing, Suk shook his head and left the small room

At the same time, this is also the quickest way for civilians to become nobles, aside from joining the military

Buzz

Duel

Do I need to prepare? Do I need to prepare? No, absolutely not! Because I have been waiting for this moment for countless years, for a lifetime, for my entire existence. I have spent my life waiting for the arrival of this moment! No, I do not need any preparation at all!

Suk stared wide-eyed, looking at Wang Ting with disbelief, as if he were gazing at an alien

Under the mental shock, the finely crafted steel sword tightly gripped in Wang Ting's hand seemed to sense the boundless ambition within him at that moment, the blade quivering lightly, resonating with its master's spirit

Compared to the end of the Sword Dao cultivation in the era of the Starry Empire, this world, ruled by the Lord of the Divine Sword and maintained in order by the sword, is a sacred land for sword cultivators

In the most prosperous times, the status of cultivators and scholars surpassed that of imperial authority, and even the most powerful sword cultivators compelled ancient emperors to yield.

But now ... ... it will not ... ...

Even he himself did not know why he, who had been reduced to ashes under the bombardment of the mecha's main cannon, suddenly appeared here and replaced the young man who shared his name.

toughness

Wang Ting, are you prepared to face the challenges of this world

Here, there are no firearms, no fighter jets, no battle armor, no warships... there is not a single moment that could annihilate millions with a nuclear bomb... here, there is only blood and swords, only sweat and fire, this is a world that belongs to us, the practitioners of the swordsmanship!

Formal swordsman, refining strength, intermediate swordsman, strength penetrating the marrow, advanced swordsman, strength refining the five organs, and the great swordsman, whose strength flows throughout the body, achieving a state of unity... In that world, I refined my strength throughout my body, reaching a state of being untouched, believing myself to be the best in the world, yet here, I can only be considered a great swordsman

Remember a little, the seed students of the academy, Gongsun Su, and Hai Lin'er

The swordsman above the great swordsman, forging true energy, impervious to blades and bullets, unscathed by water and fire, effortlessly navigating through thousands of troops, taking the heads of generals as easily as reaching into a bag...

Wang Ting did not pay attention to Su Ke's words; however, his statement "consolidate the vital energy into a single force and refine it into strength" caused him to be slightly taken aback

Wang Ting gazed at the finely forged steel sword in his hand

Well, since you have made your decision, I will not try to persuade you otherwise. According to my inquiries, although Hailin'er is the most beautiful girl among this year's freshmen in our college, her background is quite extraordinary; she is of noble descent. Such a remarkable young lady, a wealthy heiress, exists in a realm that is simply beyond our reach. Moreover, it is said that she already has a fiancé. When she previously expressed her willingness to be your girlfriend and to date you, it was merely a way for her to use you as a shield against Gongsun Su. Now that you have come to terms with it, I will not say anything further. It is just a pity that I have finally met someone I can talk to, yet we only have the fate of being roommates for three days.

Previously, Wang Ting had already gained an understanding of the structure of this world from the memories of this body

At this point, Suk seemed to recall something and gradually came to an understanding: "You aren't planning to escape, are you? It makes sense; you are the top genius of Bishi City, having achieved the status of a high-level warrior at the young age of sixteen. Such a talent is bound to become a formal swordsman in the future. Even if your reputation is tarnished because of this incident and you are expelled from the Xuanzhong Advanced Swordsman Academy, you can still attend other advanced swordsman academies. There is no need to jeopardize your bright future by confronting a mid-level swordsman over a mere Hai Lin'er."

You have encountered me

However, these ... ...

Seeing Wang Ting in a trance, Su Ke no longer sought to amuse himself at his own expense

This is my world, a world that completely belongs to us sword cultivators

No road is difficult, but opening a road is even more challenging

Since you still remember clearly, why do you display such an indifferent demeanor? You are merely a high-level martial artist, not a formal swordsman who can condense their vital energy into a force and forge a powerful technique. As a non-formal swordsman, you have no hope against Gongsun Su, a mid-level swordsman.

Call!

This is merely an ordinary sword made of refined steel. Any student who joins the Xuanzhong Swordsmanship Academy and pays the requisite tuition will be awarded such a refined steel sword, along with a school uniform, swordsmanship books, and other daily necessities. Although its craftsmanship is considered exceptionally advanced in the world of the royal court, ahead of its time, in this world, it is indeed just an ordinary, utterly unremarkable refined steel sword.

One thousand years ago, a divine monarch of unparalleled swordsmanship descended upon this war-torn world. With his supreme divine power, he manifested miracles in every city with a population exceeding one hundred thousand, established temples, and issued countless tasks within these temples. Every sword practitioner who completed a task from the temple could receive substantial rewards, leading to a flourishing of the sword path and the prevalence of sword practitioners.

Could it be that ... ...

The sword emits a soft sound

Heroes do not inquire about their origins. Perhaps, at this moment, you are merely an ordinary steel sword. In that great era, which no one could comprehend, your brilliance lies buried in the dust of time, never having been revealed. It is possible that until the end of your days, you will quietly complete your life, remaining unknown and uncelebrated.

He has not yet had the opportunity to thoroughly digest the memories of this body; upon awakening, all his thoughts and senses have already been captivated by this peculiar and resplendent civilization, completely unaware of the events that are about to unfold within his own body

That feeling is akin to walking alone on a completely dark road, surrounded by an overwhelming sense of confusion, with no guidance, no hints, and no companions by your side. Yet, you must continue to move forward in this entirely dark environment, even if you do not know where this road leads or to what destination. You must persistently advance, relentlessly moving forward, until you reach the end of your life.

If you are born, my royal court's sword! In this world, you shall fight for me

It is my honor to meet you here and to have the *illustrated* book.

This is a vast and magnificent continent, this is a grand and immense world, here lies the most brilliant and luminous starry sky

Good sword, a sword forged from a hundred refinements of high-quality steel. The level of sword-making in this world has undoubtedly reached an exceptionally high standard. Setting aside the alloy materials, in terms of craftsmanship alone, it is at least a generation ahead of my imperial capital, Star.

From now on, you are "Ruosheng"!

The door was pushed open, and a young man, around sixteen or seventeen years old, stepped inside. Upon seeing Wang Ting by the bed, holding a green blade, he looked slightly surprised: "Wang Ting, are you serious? Are you really going to duel Gongsun Su for Hailin'er? Gongsun Su is a seed student of the academy, a mid-level swordsman who has obtained the Swordsman Medal, and a key focus of the academy's training. Even a formal swordsman is already quite formidable, not to mention those even more powerful mid-level swordsmen. No matter how talented you are, you have been enrolled for less than three days and are not even a formal swordsman. How could you possibly be a match for a mid-level swordsman?"

It was as if the sword was responding to his words

However, what he did not know was that Wang Ting had barely heard a word of his earlier speech. At this moment, even with the mental strength of a sixth-tier mental practitioner, he could not help but once again marvel at the vastness and profundity of the cultivation civilization in this world

I have arrived in this world

Royal Court

You will not forget, will you

This is your name

The powerful psychic energy of the sixth-tier psychic resonated, finally calming Wang Ting's inner turmoil

And that exalted deity, who gazes down upon all things, has made great contributions to the revival of the swordsmanship

swordsman, sword master

Wang Ting responded, having not delved into the memories of this body; his mind was entirely captivated by the exquisite forged steel sword before him, and he did not mentally engage with other matters related to the map and book.

In my world, there are too many constraints, too many limitations, and too many obstacles. In order to fulfill that promise, to become the number one in the way of the sword, I have sacrificed too much, so much that it has become a burden I can no longer bear, so much that I have given my all

Wang Ting's fingertips lightly tapped on the steel sword, quietly listening to the faint ringing that emanated from the blade

Wang Ting glanced at the young man who had just entered.

In fact, Wang Ting, the swordsmanship master from the capital star, is an extraterrestrial being

A complete cultivation system

My efforts will no longer flow away like water, my dreams will no longer be fleeting like passing clouds, and the greatest in the world will no longer be an illusion reflected in water

There are countless sword cultivators who dream of joining the Sacred Land of Swordsmanship

The crisp sound of the sword echoed endlessly in this small room of merely twenty square meters

Beside an iron bed in a small room, Wang Ting sat cross-legged on the bed, holding the three-foot green blade, constantly examining it.

Even now, due to certain unknown special reasons, the tasks issued by the temple have become increasingly rare, with a significant rise in difficulty. The number of sword practitioners is gradually declining, while royal power is on the rise. However, sword cultivators still hold a prestigious position in this world. Any great swordsman, upon breaking through to the realm of Sword Master, will immediately attract numerous kingdoms and empires vying to bestow upon him noble titles, offering generous rewards and inviting him to reside within their empires, becoming a pillar of support for the empire.

Upon this thought, Wang Ting's mind immediately immersed itself in the memories of this body. The mental power of a sixth-tier mental practitioner seemed to absorb the memories related to "official swordsman" and "force" as if it were a great whale swallowing its prey.

Clang!

It is like a bright lamp, guiding everyone in the direction of their cultivation system
