Chapter 1048
The Almighty Dragon General
James had been single mindedly practicing the sword technique for the past ten days.His dedication
intrigued Tobias.He has secretly watched him for several days and noticed Jamesâ rapid progress.
James had already mastered the First Sword Realm in a span of less than ten days.
"This boy is without a doubt talented in martial arts.It took me several years to barely master the First
Sword Realm, yet it only took him ten days."
Tobias was slightly concerned about the rapid pace of Jamesâ progress.He left silently after having
observed James for quite some time.
Tobias needed to meditate in seclusion in preparation for the upcoming Mount Thunder Conference.
A figure flitted through the backyard under the night sky.
James moved rapidly as he fluidly executed a number of elaborate sword techniques.
After practicing each move at least once, he sat down to take a break.
Clap! Clap! Clap! The sudden crisp applause broke the silence in the backyard.
Bennett approached him with a bemused smile.
"Very good.That's impressive.Itâs as if you were born to be a natural swordsman.You've only been
practicing for ten days, yet have already surpassed the effort that takes most people many years to
accomplish."
James put away his sword and replied with a smile of his own, "Itâs because you've taught me well."
It was not an understatement that the swordsmanship of the Thirteen Heavenly Swords was intricate,
and it would be difficult for James to master them on his own in such a short period of time.
The reason for his rapid improvements was all due to Bennett's expert guidance.иÏνÑâÑвÏÏк.¢ÏмHe
was able to avoid many obstacles as well as minimize his mistakes because he had an experienced
teacher guiding him.
"mhm.Not bad."
Bennett stroked his white beard and said, "Now, you can start practicing the Second Sword Realm.This
is where you'll get a real taste of the Thirteen Heavenly Swords technique."
James nodded.He picked up his sword once more and raised it.
All of a sudden, his body vanished.He appeared high in the air, around 20 meters off the ground, and
tilted his longsword.
At that moment, the long sword suddenly began to glow with the True Energy that had been imbued
into it.It did not take long for it to form Sword Energy.
However, this phenomenon was over as soon as it began and dissipated without a trace.
James was unable to form Sword Energy, let alone control it.
"Donât worry.Take your time.
"Remember, the sword is an extension of your body.Sword Energy is also an embodiment of your
energy.The way you materialize Sword Energy is practically the same as True Energy.Now that youâve
reached the summit of the fifth rank, youâre but one tiny step away from achieving the sixth rank.If you
can execute the first sword, you can pretty much consider yourself to have officially stepped into the
sixth rank"
Bennett constantly gave him feedback.
Keeping what he had been told in mind, James kept trying and practicing continuously.
Time flew by in a flash.
James had been immersed in refining his swordsmanship skills and had stayed in the Cadensâ
mansion for a month in a blink of an eye.
In the first ten days, he mastered all the sword techniques from the First Sword Realm.
In the next ten days that followed, he uttered chants and practiced the Second Sword Realm of the
Thirteen Heavenly Swords.
It was drilled into his very being that True Energy controlled the sword and the sword in turn, controlled
Sword Energy.
After twenty days, he finally succeeded.
Whoosh! In the Cadensâ mansion backyard, James held a sword and struck with force.
From the sword burst out bright Sword Energy.
The materialized Sword Energy was a long sharp sword that manifested with terrifying strength and
instantly destroyed the wall gate tens of meters away.
James pulled the energy back to him.
"Haha!"
Bennett laughed heartily and praised, "Not bad at all! Youâre outstanding, my boy.Itâs only been a little
over a month, but youâve already managed to materialize your first sword! If youâre committed, the sky
is your limit.Youâll definitely be able to execute all thirteen swords and even the fourteenth sword with
overwhelming strength in the future."
James wiped the sweat from his forehead.
He asked, "Grand Patriarch, how long have I been practicing here?"
Bennett said, "It has been 33 days."
James was floored when he heard that.He did not expect so much time to have passed since he
began.He currently wondered what the outside was like right now since heâd been away.
"Grand Patriarch, Iâm ever grateful for your hospitality but I canât stay any longer.There are many things
I need to settle."
"Go, go."
Bennett smiled as he flicked his wrist.
Initially, he set the condition to let James leave after mastering the third sword only to put pressure on
him.It was unprecedented for anyone to achieve so much in one month.
"It looks like the Cadens have found their successor."Bennett was pleased.His eyes sparkled
sentimentally as he put a gentle hand on Jamesâ shoulder.
"I look forward to seeing you master the fourteenth sword someday.Iâd love to see its power at least
once in my lifetime."
"Thank you for your guidance," James bowed deeply as an expression of his gratitude once more.
