Martial Hero Rebirth

Chapter 169: Linghu Feng's Nine Lonely Swords

Ouyang Ming was slightly taken aback. He asked suspiciously:

“Child, are you sure about this? What if Linghu Feng learns the Nine Lonely Swords and surpasses you? Don't let victory cloud your mind, he also has great talent, and if he learns this technique better than you, then the position of the main student may be shaken.”

“You are right, Master, Linghu Feng is gifted with amazing talent in sword techniques. After studying this art, I realized that it would be perfect for him. If he can combine his sword will with him, he will become one of the main pillars of Huashan in the future. The cult will gain a lot from this.”

Having finished his fiery speech, Lin Yi decided to stand up for himself:

“Besides, I don’t believe that Linghu Feng can surpass me. Not because I’m arrogant, it’s just that none of those whom I have already surpassed can catch up with me.”

He said this with unshakable confidence. And there was nothing to argue.

Lin Yi did not make this decision out of emotion..

In his previous life, Linghu Feng had proven his talent by rising to the rank of supreme experts. In this, thanks to his influence, he discovered the will of the sword ten years earlier. This means it will rise in strength faster.

If another supreme expert appears in Huashan, the benefits will be incalculable. At the same time, Lin Yi was not afraid that Linghu Feng would surpass him and, moreover, was going to personally train the talented younger brother in order to win the loyalty of a powerful guardian for their sect.

Moreover, this way he can gain support from at least some of the people of the Linghu clan and will not allow the Yu family to spread rumors that he is just their pawn.

He had to stop the conflict between the parties and show them that he did not support either one or the other. And he came up with this method long before he received the title.

Give Linghu Feng the Nine Lonely Swords. This is the best way to win the trust of the Linghu faction. Let them feel his kindness and relax. Then they won't have to worry about their future..

Lin Yi listened to the Master's commandments. All for the sake of balance between the two largest factions.

But in reality he had other thoughts. He worked for the reputation in the lower court to raise a new generation that belonged only to him in hearts and souls, and with their help to surpass all the factions of Huashan.

Therefore, now Lin Yi looked at the Master nervously. Everything depended only on his decision. If he doesn't allow it, then all plans will be ruined..

“That’s how...” Ouyang Ming said hesitantly.

In fact, he himself was thinking about whether to hand over the technique to Linghu Feng. Tradition required that platinum techniques be known only to the sect master and head disciple. No one else had the right to them, which made it possible not to doubt the hierarchy of power. Thanks to the best techniques, the main disciple became the strongest, even if talents superior to him were born.

But the boy was right in saying that if Linghu Feng learned this technique, then Huashan would benefit. After all, for the first time in a century, a talent was born in their sect that discovered the will of the sword, and even at such a young age.

On the other hand, traditions are also created for a reason, and Linghu Feng is not the main disciple! If he surpasses Lin Yi, or at least catches up, then a conflict of interests will arise in the sect. It could all come down to a fight between them.

But Lin Yi himself raised this topic. Transfer his main advantage to his main rival. Ouyang Ming thought deeply about what was more important: tradition or the good of Huashan.

And I chose the second one.

If the rules were created for the benefit of Huashan, then they can only be broken for the sake of it.

Ouyang Ming looked at his student with admiration, but still decided to warn:

“Child, think again. If Linghu Feng learns the Nine Lonely Swords and threatens your position, I will not be able to help you.”

“Master, I understand. But I'm also confident that I can control it.”

“That's for sure?”

“Absolutely!”

Ouyang Ming nodded:

“Fine. In that case, you can teach Linghu Feng the Nine Lonely Swords.”

“Thank you, Master!” Lin Yi folded his hands.

“Ha, if anyone here deserves gratitude, it's yourself. I didn't expect such generosity from you, child. You surprised me, but at the same time you proved that I was not mistaken about you. In your hands, Huashan may not be afraid of tomorrow. I am sure that you will bring even more good to the sect than I could bring. You have surpassed me not only in talent, but also in the depth of your soul. I only hope to live longer to see what our sect will become in your hands!” Ouyang Ming laughed, not hiding his admiration.

Lin Yi, out of politeness, could not answer anything, so he only bowed and said:

“Thank you for having me Master. I won't distract you anymore.”

“Okay, go.”

Lin Yi quickly left the room, but Ouyang Ming stood for a long time and looked at the closed door..

“Yes, Lin Yi, you are an amazing person. If in my time the Master had suggested that I give the Nine Lonely Swords to someone else, I would never have agreed. Oh, what self-confidence, ah!”

.˙.

Linghu Feng stood on the edge of Hua Peak and took out his sword.

Then he cleaned it up. Took it out again.

He honed these two simple movements, bringing angle, speed, and power to perfection. The Will of the Sword helped him in this. Every time the blade left the sheath, it seemed as if thousands of blades flared up all around at once - this is how the brilliance of the inner strength transferred to the sword spread. When he put the blade away, it was as if thousands of warriors were putting it away along with him.

Take the sword out of its sheath - this is where the path of every swordsman began.

Linghu Feng has been training since he was three years old. He was nineteen now.

Take it out. Put away.

These two movements became as natural to him as breathing..

But as he continued to move toward unattainable perfection, he thought about the battle with Lin Yi. Several days had already passed, but he remembered every second with such clarity, as if they had just laid down their arms and parted ways..

He was defeated. But I didn’t regret anything. On the contrary, he was still amazed by the level of his opponent's skill.

Linghu Feng had never lost. However, Lin Yi could not do anything against him..

“I wonder how he trains?” muttered Feng, his voice full of curiosity.

Lin Yi was a man of mystery. Just a year ago he was a simple boy who did not know the fist world. But at times, it seemed that his wisdom in martial arts was limitless. Such deep eyes could not belong to a sixteen-year-old teenager.

At times, Linghu Feng thought that a great master of the past was hiding in his body, retaining his memories after reincarnation.

Of course, he laughed at himself every time this thought occurred to him. Could reincarnation really be true? If this were so, the world would be full of reincarnated masters.

But these funny thoughts were again and quite quickly replaced by a gloomy mood. He lost and now clearly felt like his younger comrades were afraid for their future. Even the elders were always in a hurry somewhere, thinking about something, planning something, and all with gloomy faces. Linghu Feng's heart sank in pain for them..

He hoped that his understanding of the will of the sword would be enough for them. But nothing. The main thing is that it was enough for him. He will no longer allow their darkness to fall on him..

He will become stronger! He will protect everyone!

«Tap-tap-tap...»

The sounds of footsteps approaching at great speed made Feng tense. He turned sharply and swung his sword. No matter who ran at him from behind, even a first-class expert, should have suffered from such a sudden and strong attack.

But Feng's heart sank again.

The enemy was not only not wounded, but also grabbed him by the arm!

“Junior Brother Linghu, what are you up to??”

Feng exhaled heavily and almost sat down on his weak knees..

A normal person would not have been able to grab his hand like that. But this monster cannot be assessed by human standards..

Turning, he cast an angry glance at the face he knew well..

“Big Brother Lin, don't scare me like that!”

Lin Yi looked at him, puzzled. Apparently it only now dawned on him how fast he came.

But who could blame him? The Linbo Move Set is the fastest technique in the world. He just hasn't gotten his speed under control yet..

“It doesn’t matter,” Lin Yi said, holding out the book. “Here you go,”.”

“What is this?" Linghu asked with suspicion, but accepted the book immediately.

However, as soon as his gaze fell on the cover, his pupils shrank into dots and his hands trembled..

Three words were written in hieroglyphs stylized as a dragon and a phoenix twirling in a dance.:

“Nine Lonely Swords?!”

He stared at Lin Yi in amazement..
