Strange Roar, The Mystery at the Top of Mount Sword
In the vast void, Lin Ran was as small as an ant. What appeared in front of his eyes was a sky full of stars, as if he could touch the stars and the moon as long as he stretched out his hands.
Lin Ran was attracted by this magnificent world, but in front of the celestial objects, his strength was nothing. Soon a surreal scroll laid flat in front of him.
The sword technique book was divided into three chapters: starlight, moonlight, and sunlight.
As if being pulled by a force, Lin Ran reached out to touch the scroll. Immediately, the light blue starlight exploded in front of his eyes and then condensed into a ball and entered his body. The impact felt like an asteroid had just exploded.
With Lin Ran’s current cultivation, he could only cultivate the first chapter, but this chapter was already very powerful.
This world was not like the fantasy world he knew. It was divided according to the strength system. The basics were Commoner, Martial Artist, and Martial Master.
Above that were the Senior Martial Master, Grandmaster, Senior Grandmaster, Half-saint, and Saint. There were nine levels in each realm, but it was rare to see anyone reaching the realm above Grandmaster.
It was said that after reaching the Half-Saint realm, one could feel everything in the world, and after reaching the Saint realm, one could even shatter the void and ascend. However, these were all legends.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTo date, the strongest person on this continent was only a grandmaster. They were basically ancestors who had lived for hundreds of years. They were in seclusion in the mountains and forests and did not interfere in the affairs of the mortal world.
Just one grandmaster alone could wipe out an entire city.
In the past, when the two countries fought, the experienced cultivators they sent out razed dozens of cities to the ground at the drop of a hat. Later on, it was only with the help of a senior grandmaster that the battle was called off. Even so, both sides still suffered heavy losses.
Lin Ran could feel the Three Essence Sword Technique circulating in his body. He took a deep breath and slowly opened his eyes. His dark eyes seemed to encompass the entire Milky Way.
He casually picked up a branch from the ground and swept it across the air. The sharp sword intent being let out seemed to be able to cut the air in half.
With a rumbling sound, a huge rock that was more than half the height of a person was cut off from the clifftop and rolled down into the abyss below.
Even Lin Ran himself was shocked. “I’m actually so powerful now!”
The power of the Three Essence Sword Technique really exceeded his expectations. Cultivating the starlight level to perfection was comparable to the cultivation of a grandmaster, the moonlight to a senior grandmaster, the sunlight to a saint.
Lin Ran couldn’t help but sigh. “So coming out top in the martial arts competition just makes me an elite among the commoners…”
Now, he had just entered the realm of Martial Master and was already so powerful. He did not dare to imagine what kind of terrifying power those Senior Martial Masters and Grandmasters would have.
“It seems that I was too ignorant before.”
Although this world was not a traditional fantasy world, it was still vast and unfathomable. It was best not to underestimate anyone.
Although the highest cultivation level ever reached was that of Senior Grandmaster, who knew if there would be a Half-Saint hiding in this world?
Lin Ran was a little smug when he obtained the Formless Sword Body, but now, his attitude had changed. He knew that there was always someone better. If he became complacent because of this, he would probably die without knowing why.
However, Lin Ran was not afraid by any means. After all, he had the help of the sign-in system. He was confident that he could become a senior grandmaster or even a Half-Saint. After all, before this, he was just a nobody. In just a short period of time, his cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds.
With this thought in mind, his mentally changed and he felt that he had risen to another level.
Time spent in the mountains flew. Lin Ran spent most of his time cultivating every day. In the blink of an eye, three months had passed.
“The sun, moon, and stars, infuse me with your power!”
As Lin Ran shouted out, countless rocks exploded instantaneously. He swept his sword across the air, releasing tens of thousands of blades.
The spiritual swords nearby buzzed in response.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt this moment, Lin Ran was like an unsheathed divine sword. He didn’t use all his might. Otherwise, the spiritual swords at the foot of Mount Sword would definitely start buzzing too and alert Daoist Li’s attention.
The boulders and cliffs were all covered in sword marks. These were the evidence of his tireless training everyday.
If a sword master were here, he would definitely be shocked. This was because these sword marks were stable and powerful. Only after decades of practicing would one reach this level of mastery.
In just a few months, Lin Ran had done what others couldn’t in their lifetime. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was a genius. Of course, this was also thanks to the Formless Sword Body.
No matter what sword technique Lin Ran learned, he could quickly master it. Moreover, his one day of hard training was equivalent to a hundred days of hard training for others.
“Roar!”
A roar came from the top of the mountain. It came and went so fast that Lin Ran almost didn’t notice it.
Lin Ran suddenly stopped in his tracks and said thoughtfully, “It’s this sound again.”
Previously, he thought that it was the commotion caused by the wind blowing past the mountain. After hearing it a few times, he felt that it did not seem like it was caused by the wind. It sounded like a dragon’s roar, but it was weak.
Moreover, this sound would only occasionally be heard when he was practicing swordsmanship, which puzzled him even more.
Lin Ran fixed his gaze on the top of the mountain that was covered in thick fog, making it hard to see what was on it. There was also something mysterious about the mountaintop as the pressure up there was the strongest.
“What exactly is there?”
