JSCMU-Chapter 21: Innate Sword Body?

Yue Zhao’s lips were trembling.

Oh.

So she chose his sword technique as her trump card.

Should he be thanking Yun Jin?

Thank her, my ass!

All he wanted to do was to grab Yun Jin and demand an explanation of how she achieved this!

“The Void Breaking Sword Technique… you also just watched it ten times and mastered the entry-level?” Yue Zhao’s voice quivered.

“More or less,” Yun Jin replied modestly. “Was that too slow?”

Yue Zhao could only respond with a hollow laugh.

Meanwhile, Yu Songnian glanced at his two collapsing senior siblings, a flicker of relief flashing in his eyes.

Thank goodness…

Thank goodness he ran away fast!

“Little Junior Sister,” Yue Zhao ground his teeth. “Demonstrate both techniques. I need to see this for myself.”

He still couldn’t quite believe it.

Yun Jin readily agreed.

She picked up her sword and casually began to perform.

First the Lotus Sword Technique, then the Void Breaking Sword Technique.

Si Wanning and Yue Zhao’s expressions shifted from initial disbelief to numb resignation.

Oh.

It’s only a genius.

Yeah, we’ve seen a lot of those before.

Stay calm. We must stay calm.

Yun Jin finished the two sword techniques with ease and was about to speak when suddenly.

A voice rang out.

“When did you learn those sword techniques?”

Yun Jin turned. It was none other than her master that ditched her with her senior siblings and mysteriously disappeared, Lin Ya.

Now, his eyes sparkled with astonishment as he looked at Yun Jin like she was some priceless treasure.

One is a mid-grade Xuan level sword technique, the other is a high-grade Xuan level sword technique.

She was already at the entry-level?

 And the proficiency is actually pretty high!

This… this…

Could Yun Jin be… born with a Sword Body?

Thousands of years ago, there had been a peerless sword genius on this continent.

His spiritual roots were average, but his comprehension of sword techniques was unmatched.

As long as it involved sword techniques, he could grasp them at a glance and master them in days, his swordsmanship advances by a thousand miles a day. 

Before ascending, that man founded the Holy Land: Kunlun Sword Sect.

Within Kunlun Sword Sect, he left behind a Tian level secret sword manual only accessible to those born with a Sword Body.

Since then, Kunlun Sword Sect had searched for another like him to inherit the secret manual.

The last confirmed Innate Sword Body was now the sect master of Kunlun Sword Sect, and one of the strongest cultivators alive!

And is it possible that this disciple he had casually picked up, possesses an Innate Sword body?

No, we can’t jump to conclusions yet!

Innate Sword Body, how rare is that!

Whether Yun Jin’s talents had reached that level is still unknown.

Stay calm. He had to stay calm.

Lin Ya questioned Yun Jin about the situation in detail. After confirming again and again that she had indeed learned those arts just by observation, without any instructions, his gaze toward Yun Jin grew increasingly impressed.

“Taking you in as a disciple may have stunted your potential,” he murmured.

Yun Jin shook her head honestly. “Not really. I’m a genius, so it would’ve been the same everywhere.”

Lin Ya’s mouth twitched. It took a long pause before he muttered, “You all wait here. I’ll be right back!”

He hadn’t expected to find such a massive surprise today!

Of course, to confirm whether Yun Jin was truly born with an Innate Sword Body, he’d have to get someone else to verify.

Meanwhile, outside the Sect Master’s Hall,

Ye Danxia was pacing around, frowning deeply.

Right now, Chen Hao was receiving treatment, but it only handled the surface injuries.

If they need to heal his dantian, a Rejuvenation Pill would be needed.

Does she really need to ask Master for something like this…all for a Senior Brother still in Qi Refining Stage?

Ye Danxia had originally planned to cultivate an image of being pure and selfless, yet here she was, already asking for such a precious pill just days after entering the sect.

What would Master think of her?

What would her five senior brothers think of her?

Under the Sect Master, there are many ordinary disciples, but including her, there were only six direct disciples. 

Before her, all previous five direct disciples were male.

Because the other senior brothers were away on missions, she had only met Eldest Senior Brother Ruan Jun.

Eldest Senior Brother was quite kind to her…

Maybe… she can look for him first?

Just as she thought that, a gentle voice called out, “Little Junior Sister? Why are you pacing around out here? Are you looking for Master? He’s currently busy handling matters related to the new disciples, so he’s not in right now.”

Ye Danxia instinctively shook her head. “No, I wasn’t looking for Master.”

“Oh?” Ruan Jun tilted his head.

Ye Danxia’s eyes flickered. She softly replied, “Eldest Senior Brother, I was actually looking for you.”

Oh?

Ruan Jun looked at her demure, hesitant expression and felt his heart stir.

Did his little junior sister miss him?

Truly, it’s his fault.

As the Sect Master’s top assistant, he’d been swamped with duties organizing the new disciples that passed the entrance exam. All matters related to joining the sect had to be personally handled. He had no choice but to temporarily entrust her to some Qi Refining Stage junior brothers.

Although these few junior brothers’ cultivation isn’t high, they are mature and dependable, and should be able to take good care of the little junior sister.

He thought.

Ruan Jun’s expression darkened.

Those people actually dared to disobey his orders, and left little junior sister alone?

Seeing Ye Danxia’s nervous and slightly withdrawn demeanor, Ruan Jun’s heart ached. “Little Junior Sister, did something happen?”

Ye Danxia’s eyes shimmered with a faint redness. She gave a heavily edited version of the incident, removing anything unfavorable to herself.

“Eldest Senior Brother, I truly didn’t expect Yun Jin to be so cruel. Now Senior Brother Chen is asking me for a Rejuvenation Pill. I… I honestly don’t know what to do.” Tears glistened in her eyes as she looked up at Ruan Jun.

Seeing this, Ruan Jun felt something twist in his chest.

He had only left little junior sister with these people for a short while, and yet they still let her suffer injustice!

“This is my fault,” he said with remorse. “I shouldn’t have left you alone these past few days. Don’t worry, leave this matter to me.”

“Eldest Senior Brother, you’re always so good to me.” Ye Danxia said softly, her voice barely above a whisper. Ruan Jun only felt more protective of her.

He pulled her aside and patiently asked her to explain in more detail.

Ye Danxia recounted everything carefully.

As she spoke, Ruan Jun’s expression shifted multiple times.

He had already felt suspicious of Yun Jin, but he never thought she could be this outrageous?

A disciple had only entered the sect for three days, jumped from a mortal to the eighth level of Qi Refining Stage?

And her sword techniques were refined and precise?

Ye Danxia hadn’t explained it clearly, but Ruan Jun knew about Chen Hao’s disk-shaped spiritual weapon. It was no ordinary artifact. In a situation where there was a difference in cultivation level, Yun Jin had cut through it in one strike?

This Yun Jin’s sword technique is definitely not simple.

“Did she consume any spiritual treasure or rare elixir?” Ruan Jun asked, narrowing his eyes.

Otherwise, it was impossible for her abilities to advance so quickly.

Ye Danxia shook her head, but then her eyes flashed as she remembered the ring.

Could it be…?

Was there really something profound about the ring?

Yun Jin had refused to hand it over no matter what. Was it because she had already discovered its secret?

The more Ye Danxia thought about it, the more convinced she became. Her face darkened.

She should have taken the ring by force!

Ruan Jun, observing her expression, asked calmly, “You seem to have remembered something?”

Ye Danxia replied in a low voice, “The Yun family was wealthy in their region. Perhaps, they did manage to conceal some rare treasure. But she’s never really treated me like family, so I’m not sure.”

Ruan Jun sneered. “Then it’s likely true. But don’t let it trouble you. Elixirs and treasures have their limits. Your natural talent will always belong to you. One day, you’ll trample her beneath your feet.”

Ye Danxia felt a warm sense of reassurance in her chest.

That’s what she’s saying!

How could Yun Jin be that powerful?

It turns out she secretly used some rare treasures!

But she only has a Five Element Root. She could show off for a short while at most.

Ruan Jun’s eyes narrowed even further. He added, “Also, the sect rules are clear, if it wasn’t approved, it is prohibited to pass down secret manuals. Yun Jin’s swordsmanship must’ve been taught to her in secret by those from Heavenly Sword Peak. That alone is enough to have her expelled from the sect.”

Ye Danxia’s eyes lit up with delight.
