Chapter 49 – Thunderclap Sword! Ten-thousand Sword Dragon Incantation!

“Ding! Congratulations, the Sword Owner obtained [Gold] Thunderclap Sword, Ten-thousand Sword Incantation, three thousand Level Three spirit stones!”

In the morning, Zhou Xuanji, who was training by the riverside, opened his eyes .

His spirit energy had yet to fully stabilize after the breakthrough, but when he heard that he obtained another Gold Grade legendary sword, he was even more pleased .

Information about the Thunderclap Sword appeared before his eyes .

Sword Name: Thunderclap Sword

Grade: Gold

Description: A legendary sword born amidst powerful and immense thunder and lightning, contains within itself the power of Heavenly Thunder . Its destructive power is considered top-tier amongst Gold Grade legendary swords .

…

Power of Heavenly Thunder?

Sounds mighty and imposing .

Zhou Xuanji blinked his eyes . He heard that when breaking through from the Inner Pellet Stage, one would meet with a calamity of thunder . Moving up the stages of cultivation, one would meet with more powerful thunder calamities .

With the Thunderclap Sword, could he avoid the calamity of thunder?

“Thunderclap Sword will become increasingly powerful after absorbing the power of Heavenly Thunder . It could even level up . ”

The Sword Spirit answered, and Zhou Xuanji’s eyes glistened .

It can level up?

This is such an impressive set-up!

He quickly took out the Thunderclap Sword . It was as big, or even broader, as the Hell King Sword . Its body was dark silver, with carvings of lightning on its blade . Its hilt was exquisite and the end of it looked like a crescent .

Mighty!

Dominating!

Zhou Xuanji was convinced of its power the first time he saw it .

From its outer appearance, the Thunderclap Sword looked handsome .

It was totally on par with the Hell King Sword .

Gold Grade legendary sword indeed!

Zhou Xuanji laughed like a chrysanthemum blossoming, or it could have been a psychological effect .

He practiced one round of White Crane Sword Technique, and he was totally comfortable wielding the sword!

After that, he practiced the Fiery Sword Technique, but it was not flame that came from his slash, it was lightning instead .

This was a pleasant surprise for him .

Shortly after, he began receiving the Ten-thousand Sword Dragon Incantation .

A formidable bulk of memory, which was much more than what he received from the energy and sword techniques previously, entered his mind .

After a long while…

He gradually opened his eyes and exclaimed in amazement, “Ten-thousand Sword Dragon Incantation! Nice!”

Ten-thousand Sword Dragon Incantation was a powerful sword technique that could be used to control ten thousand swords .

The first level, Two Swords Mode!

The second level, Ten Swords Mode!

The third level, Hundred Swords Mode!

The fourth level, Thousand Swords Mode!

The fifth level, Ten-thousand Swords Mode!

Each sword would receive sword Qi in the form of a dragon and become extremely powerful!

This sword technique could be used simultaneously with other sword techniques .

Zhou Xuanji had eleven swords in total . They were the Crimson Dragon Sword, Frost Wave Sword, Bloodbath Sword, Tiger Roar Sword, Windcutter Sword, Swine Culling Sword, Golden Rock Sword, Heaven Sound Sword, Hell King Sword, Residual Image Sword, Thunderclap Sword .

He took out the Crimson Dragon Sword and the Thunderclap Sword to execute the Two Swords Mode .

The basic sword moves of Two Swords Mode were all very tricky . There was a strict requirement on the flexibility of the body . An ordinary person could not execute such sword moves .

After practicing fifty times, two hours had already passed .

After fifty times, he reached Small Accomplishment, and his execution speed increased tremendously .

After another hour, he finished the hundredth round and reached Great Accomplishment for the Two Swords Mode . He had thoroughly mastered it .

The two swords slashed towards the river surface, the two streams of sword Qi transforming into the shape of a dragon, charging forward . A faint dragon roar could be heard from the sword Qi, which swept up big waves on the river surface .

Awesome!

He continued with the momentum and started practicing the Ten Swords Mode .

Except for the Swine Culling Sword, he took out all the legendary swords with him and levitated them around him with his mental power .

The Ten-thousand Sword Dragon Incantation required magic power to sustain control over the legendary swords .

If he switched his magic power, the ten legendary swords would fall to the ground immediately .

Before he could start with the sword moves, he would first have to overcome this challenge .

He continued working on it, without a word .

Northern Valiant Sword wanted to ask him about the dual-wielding sword technique, but he stopped when he saw Zhou Xuanji training .

He rarely had the opportunity to witness Zhou Xuanji’s training . Usually, he could only see Zhou Xuanji internalizing Qi .

He sometimes muttered to himself quietly . Sword cultivators spent most of their time on the sword, but Zhou Xuanji rarely trained his sword techniques . He seemed so relaxed .

Only after witnessing Zhou Xuanji’s training today, he realized .

His master was secretly training sword techniques .

He was prepared to leave, but when Zhou Xuanji took out the ten legendary swords, his whole body shook .

It was as if he was under an immobilizing spell and he could not move an inch .

Zhou Xuanji noticed Northern Valiant Sword but did not drive him away . He continued with his training instead .

Only after many attempts, after about fifteen minutes, could he control the ten legendary swords with his magic power .

He began practicing the Ten Swords Mode .

The Crimson Dragon Sword was in his right hand, the Thunderclap Sword in his left, and the other legendary swords were levitating around him .

He carefully and slowly executed the sword moves .

Northern Valiant Sword was confused . Shortly after, he thought of something and opened his eyes wide .

Practicing sword moves with ten swords?

How could it be!

He had never heard of such a thing before .

The Sword Monarch could control seven swords simultaneously, but his attack was simple and almost only one-directional . Zhou Xuanji, however, managed ten swords, each moving in different trajectories .

After completing the first round of the Ten Swords Mode, he had already spent half an hour .

After the second round, his speed increased drastically and Northern Valiant Sword stared with eyes wide open, as though he had seen a ghost .

Did he just pretend to improve so quickly?

Northern Valiant Sword suspected .

The second round took half the time spent in the first round .

By the third round, the time taken was halved again .

The fourth round…

The fifth round…

The more Northern Valiant Sword observed, the more he wanted to kneel down before Zhou Xuanji .

At this moment, Zhou Xuanji was entirely focused . In his eyes, there were only ten legendary swords .

The Three-Eyed Drought Rodent that was tied with the small black snake came to find Zhou Xuanji . As the little snake was dragged across the rocky ground, it almost fainted .

The Three-Eyed Rodent stood beside Northern Valiant Sword and watched silently . Its eyes were bright and looked very curious .

“The day … that I … rise again… I will surely slaughter all rodents in the world…”

The small snake cursed powerlessly . It was on the verge of fainting .

After it became sober, it realized that something was wrong .

Why did this rodent stop moving?

He flipped around and looked, and saw that Zhou Xuanji was training his sword technique by the riverside .

“Ten swords? He wants to die!”

He said in disdain . Does this kid want to lose his mind in training?

Yes!

Better so!

The more he thought about it, the more excited he got . So, he also continued to observe Zhou Xuanji .

Time passed quickly .

Noontime was over .

Dusk came .

Little Jiang Xue and Huang Lianxin came to find Zhou Xuanji to inform him it was time for dinner .

But when they saw that he was training a weird sword technique, they observed his training out of curiosity too .

Until now, Zhou Xuanji had completed ninety-eight times .

Shwoooosh! Shwoooosh! Shwoooosh…

The ten legendary swords exhibited their fearsome power . Zhou Xuanji’s two swords were swift like the wind, the eight legendary swords moved as though they were conscious . They slashed, following Zhou Xuanji’s moves and swept up such a forceful gust that generated billows on the river surface .

Northern Valiant Sword was covered in a cold sweat as he watched . He tried to imagine himself facing Zhou Xuanji’s Ten Swords Mode . He could hardly win him without using his sword will .

And it must be acknowledged that Zhou Xuanji was not using his full power either .

Or else, he might attract the attention of the entire village because of the loud sound .

After Zhou Xuanji finished the hundredth round, he achieved Great Accomplishment for the Ten Swords Mode!

After he reached Great Accomplishment, he focused and forced out his sword Qi . The ten legendary swords vibrated and shot out ten streams of sword Qi in the form of dragons towards all directions .

“Rooaarrr–”

The sounds of the dragon roars converged like a blast of thunder . Reflections of swords radiated from both sides of the river .

Northern Valiant Sword, Little Jiang Xue, and Huang Lianxin’s jaws dropped .

The small snake also opened its tiny eyes wide and muttered, “I’m losing my mind… losing my mind…”

The sword Qi dissipated . Zhou Xuanji withdrew his swords, and the eight swords disappeared into thin air .

He flipped both his hands and held the two legendary swords in reverse-grip, then he walked toward Little Jiang Xue .

Little Jiang Xue ran toward him excitedly and asked, “What sword technique is that? So powerful! Can you teach me?”

Zhou Xuanji smiled and said elegantly, “Of course, my sword is your sword . ”
