Ji Yun who left the medicine hall intended to visit the cultivation room but suddenly he halted his steps, 'I better go visit Elder Nyra and ask her about the uses of cultivation room before going there. Moreover, I need to buy myself one good sword, Elder Nyra probably know where I can buy a sword". Considering this Ji Yun walked towards Nyra's house.
Ji Yun reached Nyra's house and entered the hall to meet Nyra but was slack-jawed by what he saw. In the hall, Yu Mengxi was currently training in her sword arts, but that's not what caused Ji Yun's to be slack-jawed.
Yu Mengxi who was practicing the sword arts haven't noticed that she was fully drenched in her sweat, allowing her training clothes to be tightly attached to her body, and it flawlessly outlined her otherworldly curves. Ji Yun can even see the twin perfect curvy peaks which fully ignited his desire but he controlled his body desires by clenching his fist.
Yu Mengxi who was practicing the sword arts noticed someone's gaze when she lifted her head to see its Ji Yun, she coldly spoke, "Junior brother Ji Yun, Where have you been these past few days? I came to..", but her words paused in middle, when she saw Ji Yun's gaze and where he is looking, Only then she noticed her current situation then she hastily ran like a deer towards her room and tightly locked her door.
Ji Yun awkwardly watched as she ran to her room and stood in the same place, he hurriedly cleared his distracting thoughts and calmed his mind.
Yu Mengxi who ran to her room only came after 15 minutes but this time she was fresh without any sweat and wore new clothes. Even now Yu Mengxi face contained a shade of red, she was clearly embarrassed and ashamed by showing her sensitive parts to Ji Yun but she also couldn't blame him because he was not in the wrong. Usually, even if someone came to the house they would only stand outside and call, she didn't expect Ji Yun would come inside without any noise, leading to an embarrassing situation.
To clear the awkward atmosphere, Ji Yun took the initiative to speak. "Senior sister Mengxi, I saw you were practicing your sword arts. I can tell, you weren't able to improve because of your unnatural postures and insufficient basic knowledge. So, I first recommend you to practice some basic level sword arts, and after perfectly understanding the basic level skills, you will be able to practice high tier sword arts".
Ji Yun who was proficient in the swords was able to tell, the sword arts Yu Mengxi practicing was a high-level one and that too she was practicing it without a sufficient basic knowledge, with a single glance.
Yu Mengxi was surprised by Ji Yun's advice, she too know that the sword arts she practiced gave a great strain to her body but she couldn't pinpoint where the problem is and her master Nyra also don't know about swords, now Ji Yun's words totally enlightened her.
"Junior brother Ji Yun, looks like your skill in swords reached a high level. Why don't you show me your sword arts?" Yu Mengxi requested with bright eyes after knowing Ji Yun is well versed in swords.
This is the first time Ji Yun saw Yu Mengxi was enthusiastic about something and that too by totally forgetting the embarrassing situation she underwent before. Ji Yun borrowed her sword and walked towards the hall center, with the sword in his hand his total temperament changed to that of a swordsman without himself knowing.
Ji Yun slowly and skillfully executed the sword arts he learned in the earth. Yu Mengxi was fully enthralled by his arts which were very slow, smooth, and simple, Ji Yun was fully engrossed in the sword moves he was executing which gave him a calm and tranquil feeling. Ji Yun only stopped his sword moves after hearing Yu Mengxi's words,
"Junior brother Ji Yun, your sword arts clearly reached peak sword student boundary for a long time but why haven't you broken through to next level".
Ji Yun suddenly understood, 'Looks like my sword arts reached the bottleneck, that's why in my past life also I wasn't able to increase my sword level even after trying hard for a long time. I think its due to the sword arts I practiced is basic level one, no wonder even after trying hard I wasn't able to increase my skill in swords. Now, I need to get some good sword arts if I want to increase my sword skills. Even in Earth, my talent is higher in sword arts than that of martial arts'.
"Sister Mengxi to tell you the truth, I was practicing in swords since I was five but no matter how much I tried, I wasn't able to improve my sword skills, I think its due to the grade of swords arts I practiced is quite a low one, so I don't know much about sword levels". After pondering for some time Ji Yun responded.
"Junior brother Ji Yun, you are truly one of a kind, even though you reached the sword student stage, you didn't know about different sword stages. Today, I will broaden your horizon, sword practitioners have different stages like chakra users. When you practice sword arts and understand its way, you will reach the 'sword student' stage or 'way of sword' stage. You are already at this stage".
"Next is 'Swordmaster' stage which will only be achieved when one reaches, 'I am the sword and the sword is me' state, when one reached this stage their attack and defense will tremendously increase, and they will be able to fight on equal grounds with Mortal realm stage 5 chakra users".
"After 'sword master' stage is 'sing of the sword' realm, I heard in this stage, your sword will accept you and you will also be able to feel the sword's emotion. There are only a handful of people who reached this stage in our sky continent, everyone is terrifyingly powerful. I even heard there are stages above this but nobody knows what the next stage is called". Yu Mengxi explained while she couldn't control the excitement in her tone.
Ji Yun was stunned after hearing Yu Mengxi's explanation, you can't blame Ji Yun for not knowing any of this; The reason why he was able to kill the Iron glazed bear is also due to him already reached the sword student stage otherwise forget about him killing the iron glazed bear he even couldn't have injured the iron bear.
"Forget it, senior sister Mengxi. I will take one step at a time". Ji Yun replied.
"Mn, Yeah, I almost forget. Master Nyra wanted to inform you about something. You weren't in your room for this past few days, when I came to find you. Did you go somewhere?".
"I have gone out to finish my mission"
"Mission? What type of mission you selected?". Yu Mengxi curiously asked.
"It's a Rank 4 mission and its about saving a village by killing a chakra beast, which was wandering near the village". Ji Yun casually replied.
"Rank 4 Mission? and that too you went by yourself to complete it? Wait! You already completed the mission!!" Yu Mengxi looked at Ji Yun as she was looking at a monster. she already knows about Ji Yun's strength so she thought he would have picked some rank 1 or rank 2 mission but she didn't expect he would be bold to select rank 4 mission and that too he has successfully completed it.
You can't blame Yu Mengxi's exaggerated reaction. Normally, to successfully complete a Rank 4 mission, a group of students in Mortal stage 4 will form an alliance to complete it. There are sometimes the mission will fail by death or serious injury to someone in their group.
Yu Mengxi herself completed many missions but they are all Rank 1 and Rank 2 mission. Yu Mengxi and her friends once accepted Rank 3 mission required to kill a Rank 3 chakra beast but they failed the mission while two of her friends injured. That's why she was astonished when she heard about the Rank – 4 mission.
"Junior brother Ji Yun, tell me about your mission experience and what type of chakra beast you encountered?". Even now she didn't believe Ji Yun completed a rank 4 mission that's why she urged again.
"Alright", Ji Yun calmly narrated his experience, he told her about the Iron glazed bear but he didn't explain his chakra control, he only explained he killed the iron bear with the help of sharp metal type rock which he encountered near the fighting location.
"Its a Rank – 4 Iron Glazed bear!! Only someone in the Mid Mortal realm stage 5 or above would be able to break its terrifying defense and kill it. You are saying you killed using the sharp metal type rock, Why don't you say you killed it by slapping it in the face?. Junior brother Ji Yun if you don't want to explain, just say so but don't tell lies. Hmph!" Yu Mengxi snorted and walked towards another end of the hall to practice her cultivation.
