Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return

Chapter 305: 305 History Repeats

In a past life encounter, she almost suffered a huge loss under Jiang Yuzhe’s swordsmanship, completely unprepared, if not for discovering the single flaw in his technique at a critical moment and thus turning danger into safety.

Back then, Jiang Yuzhe was already a high-level practicer in the Sword Master Realm and couldn’t mend the flaw in his swordsmanship, let alone a Sixth-tier Swordsman?

However, if Jiang Yuzhe stubbornly refused to use that move, insisting on a drawn-out battle with Huayue, she would be left without any solutions. Fortunately, Huayue was clever enough not to drag out the fight endlessly, but instead, he provoked Jiang Yuzhe repeatedly, forcing him to reveal his sword technique prematurely.

For this usually silent and honest, even somewhat pedantic guard, Mu Hanyan was quite satisfied. Oh right, being honest and simple was a thing of the past. After spending more time with Zirong, classmate Huayue seemed to have changed for the worse, becoming a bit... a bit covertly flirtatious.

”Impossible, impossible, how could you possibly decipher my Shadowless Sword, with your mere Fifth Rank Swordsman’s strength, how could you possibly break my Shadowless Sword!” After a long while, Jiang Yuzhe finally came to his senses from the shock, murmuring to himself.

”As long as I find the flaw in your sword technique, not to mention a Fifth Rank Swordsman, even a child without any cultivation could break your swordsmanship,” Mu Hanyan said, unconcerned.

Hearing this, the onlookers couldn’t help but nod silently. From the simple and effortless sword that Huayue had displayed earlier, as long as one found the flaw in Jiang Yuzhe’s technique, indeed anyone could do it, provided their hand wasn’t too shaky, even a child could manage it.

”Nonsense, how could my Shadowless Sword Technique possibly have any flaws, unless you’re far more powerful than me, only with absolute superiority could you break my Shadowless Sword,” Jiang Yuzhe roared angrily.

No wonder he was so furious. Since he had stumbled upon this sword technique during his travels ten years ago, he regarded it as a treasure of the Sword Dao. To master the Shadowless Sword Technique, he had even neglected the family’s traditional Cultivation Techniques; otherwise, his strength wouldn’t merely be that of a Sixth-tier Swordsman, he would be at least two levels higher.

Fortunately, his painstaking efforts were not in vain. After ten years of rigorous training, he became proficient in the Shadowless Sword Technique. Even he couldn’t find the slightest flaw, let alone his peers. Even for an opponent one Realm higher, he was confident he could defeat them with a single strike.

Alas, before he could fully prove himself, he was thwarted by death. Today, he performed the Shadowless Sword Technique for the first time, only to have it effortlessly broken by a mere Fifth Rank Swordsman. Moreover, to be told that there was a flaw in his technique.

After ten years of arduous cultivation, this was the result he got, how could he possibly resign himself to it? How could he possibly believe Mu Hanyan’s words, let alone admit it?

Mu Hanyan shook her head. This Jiang Yuzhe was still as stubborn and self-righteous as in his previous life, unwilling to accept reality. She remembered that in her past life, when Jiang Yuzhe was defeated by her finding the flaw and dealing a striking blow, he had the same expression and even said the same things.

History was repeating itself, only years earlier this time.

In her previous life, Mu Hanyan didn’t bother with idle talk and left Jiang Yuzhe filled with unwillingness and defiance, going on her way. And in this life, of course, she wouldn’t let him off so easily—not a talent like Jiang Yuzhe, who was perfect for in-house robbery, arson, and stabbing in the back.

”Martial arts and swordsmanship in this world, how could there be ones without flaws? You think there are no flaws because your perspective is too limited; you know nothing about the world beyond your own, that there are heavens beyond the sky, and others beyond yourself,” Mu Hanyan said disdainfully.
