Chapter 1164: 1164

With the aid of the exaggerated amount of resources consumed every day, the practicing body Master Jiang Chen got the Thunderbolt Martial Soul . Aided by Wu Ming, the practicing body Lu Ping also got the Martial Soul of Sword .

However, the true body was still struggling in the Xuanji Army .

“Let me check your sword . ” Wu Ming looked expectant . There were various kinds of the Martial Soul of Sword .

Jiang Chen nodded . Then he exerted his Martial Soul of Sword . It was a crystal-clear sword blade, seemingly semi-transparent with sharp edges . At first glance, it looked like a painting . As long as the sword was thrown over, the sword energy spread, not any worse than Jiang Chen’s practice just now .

“This blade . . . ” Wu Ming was pretty surprised . His brow was tightly knitted .

“Anything wrong?” Jiang Chen was kind of nervous . He thought it was because his Sword Soul was not good enough .

“Depending on its practitioner, the Martial Soul of Sword can be extremely various . Actually, there are so many that it’s even impossible to classify or rank them . However, some sword masters discovered what characteristics a dreadful Sword Soul usually has . The five characteristics are: strength, anger, excellence, heroism, and center . As long as one’s Sword Soul has one of these characteristics, it will surpass most people’s Sword Souls . It would be fantastic to have two or three of these characteristics . Having four of them would make one’s Sword Soul outstanding . “

Then Wu Ming turned serious . He threw Jiang Chen a profound look . “Having all five, it would certainly be superb . The reason that the Four Great Sword Doctrines are called this is because those who get them will have a Sword Soul with all of these five characteristics . “

Jiang Chen recalled that he had heard of that indeed . Judging from his master’s facial expression, he had a hunch that things were not so good for him . Then he glanced at his own Sword Soul .

“Your Sword Soul has strength and heroism,” Wu Ming told him straightforwardly .

Then Jiang Chen realized why his master had such a reaction . His master was eager to make the Immortal Doctrine of Sword the fifth great Sword Doctrine . It was certainly an unsatisfying result for him, although a Sword Soul with two characteristics was already pretty great . However, neither Jiang Chen nor Wu Ming would accept such a result .

“Is it . . . is it really an impossible thing? Have I been wrong all the time?” Wu Ming was always a calm person, but now he could not help but doubt himself . Even his look was not as confident as before . As the master, he must be responsible for such a result . Once the Sword Soul appeared, it could not be changed anymore . Jiang Chen was really very talented . However, his unrealistic dreams could have wasted this genius’s time and energy . He was smitten by deep remorse .

“Master . . . ” Jiang Chen was frustrated too, but seeing how his master had taken the result, he wanted to comfort the latter .

“Don’t call me master! I don’t deserve to be your master . Ha, ha, ha, my efforts during all these years have turned out to be a joke . The Immortal Doctrine of Sword? Just a floating cloud . ” Wu Ming was taking it very badly . . He almost lost his senses . Roaring toward the sky, he turned into a flowing light and disappeared .

Jiang Chen wanted to chase after him, but he could not find his master’s traces at all .

“Am I just a jack of all trades, but master of none?” Jiang Chen murmured . He was a strong-willed man, but it was inevitable to be frustrated with such a result . He brandished his Sword Soul . Its crystal-clear semi-transparent quality had a great beauty . “Strength, anger, excellence, heroism, and center . ” Jiang Chen murmured . It was impossible to get these five through practicing . The result had been destined as soon as the Sword Soul appeared . Jiang Chen could do nothing but accept the reality .

… . .

“Eh? What’s going on?”

All of a sudden, Master Luo Cheng, about to leave the Yaoguang Holy Land, gave off a magnificent sword energy, which shocked many people .

“Master, have you seized your opportunity to get a Sword Soul? Please come with us . ” Some men from the Yaoguang Holy Land hurried to catch up with him . They invited him to their air territory with respect . As soon as they arrived in the air, a sword blade was brandished across the sky .

“Someone has got a Sword Soul . “

“The Yaoguang Holy Land is packed with geniuses . First it was the Thunderbolt Martial Soul and now it’s a Sword Soul . “

“Who can it be? This person has the protection of our elders, so it must be a disciple here . “

“The elders are taking this so seriously . Which apprentice elder brother can it be?”

“Well, Apprentice Elder Brother Chu Mu and Apprentice Elder Brother Ye Chen are sword geniuses in our sect . But both of them already have their Sword Souls . Could it be Apprentice Elder Brother Chen Yu?”

“Apprentice Elder Brother Chen Yu went out on adventures not long ago . He hasn’t come back yet . “

“Wondering what this apprentice elder brother’s Sword Soul will be like . “

“There it is! It only has anger . “

“It only has anger? What do you mean? Even though he only has one characteristic, he has already surpassed the majority of practitioners . “

“Exactly . This apprentice elder brother is pretty great already . We should congratulate him . “

Master Luo Cheng’s Sword Soul appeared during the discussions . Although it was not transparent, it was crystal clear, emitting a brilliant silver color .

“Congrats, Master Luo Cheng . “

“It’s a great surprise that your swordsmanship is so excellent . You are really a dark horse . “

The elders of the Yaoguang Holy Land congratulated him .

Jiang Chen smiled . After thanking them for their good intentions, he said, “I would like to ask Yaoguang to keep this a secret for me . ” The elders were puzzled over his request, but they also thought it reasonable, so they agreed immediately .

So, that man wasn’t the master . Xie Ting had been with Jiang Chen, so she knew the Sword Soul belonged to the master . As a result, she figured the Thunderbolt Martial Soul could not be his as well . That makes sense .

The Thunderbolt Martial Soul was really a dreadful thing . If it really belonged to Master Luo Cheng, it would be a great thing . Of course, it was also great to have a Sword Soul . Not to mention that it had one of the five characteristics .

… . .

Back at her side, Jiang Chen looked pretty calm . However, he was delirious with joy inside . By then he had the Thunderbolt Martial Soul and a Sword Soul, and they did not conflict with each other . Most important, the characteristics of his Sword Soul were not one of the two the practicing body Lu Ping had . So, it meant he had three in total .

Almost at the same time, Jiang Chen’s true body in the Xuanji Army received a telepathic communication . His sword energy was on the verge of breaking out . If nothing went wrong, the Sword Soul of the true body would have the other two characteristics of the five . When the three turned to one, his Sword Soul would have all of the five characteristics .

“Go back!” However, Jiang Chen’s true body was not in a hurry, because he was in the process of working on a Martial Soul . Making a Sword Soul wait in a queue, it would sound like pie in the sky for others . However, Jiang Chen made it .

… . .

“Master!” The practicing body Lu Ping was looking for his master after learning the truth . He wanted to tell the latter what was really happening . However, he could not find his master anywhere .

Something suddenly occurred to him . He went back to the mountain behind the Sword Pavilion as soon as possible . As expected, he sensed his master’s energy in that log cabin . He entered through the back door and saw something shocking .

Wu Ming was kneeling on the ground, with his hands in his lap .

“Jiang Chen, I let you down . I wasted your talent . I actually could have taken you to the Sword Tower . As talented as you are, I’m sure you would get the inheritance of one of the Four Great Sword Doctrines . But I was too greedy . I kept you with me for my own needs . It turned out to be a terrible result . “

“Master!” Jiang Chen was so scared that he knelt down as well . He hurried to say, “That being said, none of the Martial Souls before had expected anything related to sword . Master, why are you taking this so seriously?”

“This is not the point . The point is your Sword Soul proved how stupid my wild ambition was . ” Wu Ming sounded a little desperate .

“No! Master, you are one of the greatest swordsmen I’ve ever seen . ” Jiang Chen looked really serious . Then he told Wu Ming about Master Luo Cheng and the true body .

“Really?!” Wu Ming was pleasantly surprised to hear all about it . He kept staring at Jiang Chen . He burst out laughing after getting an affirmative answer .

“There are rises and falls in life . How thrilling it is!”
