Super Strong Little Divine Farmer

Chapter 2161: Chapter 2162: Sword Maniac

No wonder everyone present thought so. Any disciples from the sect who have been here a little longer know that there’s a strange person on the fifth floor of the Scripture Pavilion.

And this strange person is naturally the one who wants to compete with Lin Chen now.

His name is Wang Hao, and although he doesn’t look very old, about thirty-four or thirty-five, his head of silver hair and unkempt appearance make him seem quite aged.

But despite this, he instills fear in everyone present, because over ten years ago, he began comprehending sword technique spiritual skills here. Although his cultivation was ordinary, his Sword Intent was unmatched and intimidating.

”What do you say, young friend? Normally, I wouldn’t randomly help others, but since I see you as a fellow sword lover, I wanted to find you a good technique.”

Wang Hao spoke enticingly. After he finished, Lin Chen didn’t have much of a reaction, but those present had faces that twitched slightly.

Among these people, many have suffered losses against Wang Hao. Using this pretext, he would call people to spar. In reality, he didn’t find anything useful, mostly using others to experiment with his swordsmanship.

Even though Lin Chen was a bit anxious, he wasn’t at the point of being reckless. He noticed the scene around him, shrugged, and refused, ”No, I refuse.”

With the injury on his hand not fully healed, Lin Chen did not want to make a move at this time, risking worsening his injury for nothing.

Wang Hao scratched his head, causing some dandruff to fall from his long-unwashed hair, seemingly agitated, then hardened his resolve and said, ”It’s not allowed to refuse! Fight first!”

Wang Hao’s attitude suddenly became firm. Immediately, he pinched his right hand fingers together, forming a sword finger. A cold light appeared at his fingertip, as if condensed into a crystal-like raindrop.

From the raindrop emanated a wave of authority, and as this aura gradually intensified, the raindrop in his hand grew larger along with the aura.

Before long, it transformed into an Ethereal Sword over a meter long!

The sword body was entirely formed from Spiritual Energy, radiating brilliant light. As the sword emerged, Wang Hao’s expression turned serious, completely different from a moment ago.

He raised the luminous sword high, with a faint glow circulating around him, making him appear as if he himself was a giant sword.

”It’s been a long time since I’ve seen him display his strength, and I didn’t expect his aura to be so formidable.”

”This aura is almost going to break through to the Spirit Pill realm, isn’t it?”

Everyone present swallowed nervously and whispered among themselves.

Lin Chen’s gaze also became sharp. He, being exceptionally skilled in swordsmanship, could clearly sense the formidable Sword Intent emanating from Wang Hao.

This Sword Intent tightly locked onto him, and the flowing energy made Lin Chen dare not act rashly!

”Huh!”

With a light shout, Wang Hao wielded his sword downwards. Unlike Lin Chen’s sword, this sword contained a relentless aura, as if it would split apart anything ahead that dared to block its path!

Though it lacked agility, it was instead filled with bold ferocity.

Lustrous light circulated on the sword body, and the gusts it set off caused the books on the shelves on both sides to flutter!

Under this imposing aura, Lin Chen involuntarily took a step back, looking solemn. The Sword Qi it carried was too formidable for Lin Chen to withstand, even if he were uninjured.

”If you break something, you will face a ten-year ban from the pavilion.”

Just as Lin Chen was contemplating a countermeasure, a voice echoed with a hint of laziness. Though soft, it resonated loudly in Wang Hao’s ears, causing him to feel a shock.

The severe expression on his face instantaneously collapsed. As his expression shifted, the Spirit Sword in his hand dissipated into nothing, and the surroundings returned to their original tranquility.

Lin Chen felt a coolness above his head as a few strands of hair drifted down. He reached up to touch his forehead. From such a distance, merely the Sword Qi could instigate such a powerful aura.

Lin Chen’s demeanor turned cautious, showing no more disregard towards the person in front of him.

”What a disappointment.”

As that voice faded, everyone present couldn’t help but purse their lips lightly.

Of course, these words were only murmured internally. After all, neither the elders nor Wang Hao were people they could afford to offend.

With the excitement gone, these people soon immersed themselves back into cultivation, letting go of this minor interlude.

Clearly, Lin Chen thought otherwise.

He took a deep breath, walked over to Wang Hao, and cupped his fists respectfully, saying, ”Senior, where did your sword technique come from?”

”Self-created.” Wang Hao waved his hand, looking impatient.

His brows furrowed, having gained some insights from reading a spiritual skill earlier. It was precisely these insights that made him want to spar with Lin Chen to confirm his feelings,

But he was abruptly stopped, making his mood quite uncomfortable.

”Self-created?”

Lin Chen’s respect grew, and he bowed slightly, saying, ”I hope you can teach me, Senior.”

Originally, Lin Chen intended to pursue a path of agility and lightness, but after witnessing Wang Hao’s formidable swordplay, he changed his mind.

”You want to learn? Why?” Wang Hao asked, eyes filled with surprise. In all these years, it was the first time someone had approached him to learn swordplay.

”Because, Senior, your swordsmanship is incredibly strong, far superior to most of the texts here. With such excellent sword technique, what else is there to seek here?”

Lin Chen explained, and his admiration was heartfelt. Among the sword skills he previously saw, all had various flaws.

Only the spiritual skill Wang Hao just showcased seemed flawless in its entirety, without a single opening.

”Good eye, good eye!”

Hearing this praise, a smile spread across Wang Hao’s face. Being complimented brought him genuine joy, causing his previously troubled mood to dissipate.

”But no matter how much you praise me, it won’t help because... I’m busy.”

Wang Hao continued to peruse the texts, completely absorbed with his head down, unmoved by Lin Chen, as if his whole life was dedicated to this.

Such a scene of obsession was something Lin Chen had never witnessed before.

”Sigh.”

Lin Chen couldn’t help but sigh lightly. The speed of this change was rather disorienting for him. Just moments ago, he was the one refusing, and now he had become the seeker.

Life indeed is mysterious.

But the cultivation technique used by Wang Hao was truly enticing, so after a brief pause, Lin Chen continued, ”Senior, don’t you want someone to inherit your sword skills and carry them forward?”
