The Sword System

Swing

1: Swing!

In the Arms Master"s Courtyard of Emerald City, a handsome young man swung

his sword steadily.

"Swing!"

He didn"t do any extra moves but just kept swinging the three-foot-long sword. It

looked like he was practicing the most basic sword swing.

"Swing!"

But this guy was actually the youngest Arms Master in Emerald City"s Martial

Suppression Division. Did he really need to practice these basic sword moves?

"Swing! Swing! Swing!"

Remy kept swinging his sword. To others, he seemed like a regular sword user,

just like beginners. But for him, it was different.

Every time he swung his sword, his skill with the sword got a little better. He had

figured out that this helped him understand the way of the sword. And it was

thanks to his sword skills that he found his place in this world.

He could see a special panel only he could see. It showed his progress with the

sword.

"Black Jade Sword"

"Sword Energy: LV10 (975/10000)"

"Sword Technique: None"

"Ethereal Force: 0"

He was from another world called the Blue Planet. He"d been here for exactly a

month. When he arrived, he discovered this special panel.

He"d done some tests and understood a bit. This panel helped him a lot: Doing

the sword moves right helped him understand the sword better. As he kept

swinging, he got better and better.

"Phew." Remy wiped his sweat whilst breathing heavily.

"I still haven"t fully grasped everything yet... I have much more to learn - sword

techniques and the Ethereal Force."

He resumed his swinging.

"Luckily, I have a good grasp of sword skills, and although this helped me fit in,

one thing still puzzled him: When I first came here, I could only see one panel.

But after I took over the identity of the original owner"s father, I could see white

gas in the air."

He was the only one who could see it, probably because of the panel. But so far,

he hadn"t figured out what the white gas was for. He could see it floating there,

but he couldn"t touch it or understand what it did.

Remy looked up at the white gas slowly drifting by. Even though he didn"t know

what it was for, it didn"t bother him much.

He thought it might be connected to sword techniques and the Ethereal Force.

After all, those were the only two things he didn"t understand yet.

"My sword skill is now Level 10. I could easily slice through the air and even split

a boulder as tall as a person with one swing."

Even though this was an ancient world, people here could cultivate. There were

martial artists and cultivators, with the weakest being at the ninth level and the

strongest at the first.

In Emerald City, the most powerful cultivators were at the seventh level. Remy"s

skill had already reached the seventh level, solely because of his understanding

of swords. That"s why he could take on the role of the Arms Master"s father.

Being the Arms Master of Emerald City wasn"t just about inheriting the title. It was

about being strong enough. If you weren"t strong, you couldn"t become the Arms

Master.

To be the Arms Master, you needed to be at the eighth level. During the test,

Remy showed he had the strength of the eighth level.

He shook his head to clear his thoughts and continued swinging his sword. He

wasn"t just swinging it randomly. He needed to swing it right to get better at

sword skills. At his pace, he could probably swing four thousand times a day.

With that, he"d improve his sword skill in just two days.

A group of Sterling family guards rushed in, and their leader arrogantly surveyed

the entire courtyard.

In the courtyard, there was an old man and a young man. The old man was

about sixty years old, and the young one was a woman who looked to be about

fifteen or sixteen years old.

When the woman saw someone barging in so rudely, she was instantly unhappy.

“Where did you come from? Why are you so rude and unreasonable?”

Sterling Heizi didn’t pay any attention to him. He just came in front of the old man

and said with a smile: “Elder Constantine, I wonder what my third young master

wants you to consider?”

Constantine Kong’s eyes were filled with anger, but he could only suppress his

anger as he looked at these strong men: “How dare you trespass in broad

daylight? Aren’t you afraid that the authorities will arrest you? You guys are really

bold!”

Sterling Heizi’s smile immediately disappeared. He said with a cold face, “Old

man, I do not wish to waste time with you. Hand over the medicinal formula or

refine medicine for my Sterling clan every day. Otherwise…You don’t want

anything to happen to your granddaughter, do you?”

“As for the government…Old man, you’re not a three-year-old child anymore.”

At the end of his sentence, Sterling Heizi smiled evilly at the woman who had just

spoken.

The woman had never seen such a scene. For a moment, she was embarrassed

and angry.

After Constantine Kong heard this, the anger in his heart instantly disappeared

as if it had been poured with cold water. He also knew that with the Sterling

family’s status in Emerald City, it was impossible for the government to help him.

The government…He was already in the same boat as the Sterling family.

At the thought of this, Constantine Kong’s entire body softened as if he was

deflated. After a moment of silence, he spat out a word unwillingly, “Alright. But I

can’t hand over the prescription.”

Sterling Heizi didn’t care when he heard that. He laughed and said: “Alright, then

I’ll come and pick you up the next day. You can pack up now. Don’t think about

running away, or else… I don’t know what will happen.”

Sterling Heizi waved his hand and left with his men proudly.

Constantine Kong felt sorrowful, and the suppressed anger rushed straight to his

heart. His body could not help but sway a few times, and he spat out a mouthful

of blood. The woman hurriedly went forward to help him up, her expression

anxious.”Grandpa, are you alright?”

Constantine Kong took two deep breaths before saying: “I’m fine… I wouldn’t

die…However, this Sterling family…They go too far in bullying people!!”

“Doesn’t the government care about this kind of thing?” Eugene asked in a deep

voice.”

“Yurou…” Constantine Kong wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn’t

say anything. He just changed his words and said: “From tomorrow onwards, you

will refine medicine with me.”

After Sterling Heizi completed the mission, he returned to the Sterling residence.

At this moment, his expression had also completely changed. He was no longer

arrogant and domineering but had become servile.

As they walked forward, he arrived in front of a luxuriously dressed noble young

master. He bowed again and said respectfully: “Third young master, the matter

you arranged has been settled.”

Klaus Sterling said casually: “If you can’t even handle such a small matter, you

don’t have to come back. Let that old fellow refine medicine for me. Otherwise…”

There was no way for his family to survive in Emerald City.”

Sterling Heizi nodded and bowed, obeying his orders.

After completing his mission, Sterling Heizi returned to the Sterling residence, his

demeanor drastically altered. Once haughty and domineering, he now carried

himself with a submissive air.

Approaching a lavishly attired nobleman, he bowed respectfully and reported,

"Third young master, the task you assigned has been accomplished."

Klaus Sterling responded nonchalantly, "If you can't handle such a trivial matter,

there's no need to return. Let that old fellow concoct medicine for me.

Otherwise..." He left the threat unsaid, implying dire consequences for his

family's survival in Emerald City.

Sterling Heizi nodded obediently, acknowledging his orders.

Meanwhile, Remy continued his sword practice, seeking continual enhancement

of his abilities. Despite his status as one of the city's elite, there were still

adversaries capable of matching his prowess.
