Immortal Supreme: Sovereign of the Grand Dao-Chapter 54 Rank 9 Sword Intent, The Vice Sect Leader’s Illegitimate Son?

*****************??*****************

If there was anyone in the Heavenly Sword Sect who did not wish for Arthur to clear all floors, it would be the Vice Sect Leader.

And those that are privy to some information would know the reason.

"So the one who set the previous record was his son?" Old Man Whitebeard asked.

"Yes, his illegitimate son to be precise," the Supreme Guardian replied.

"This is troublesome. Wouldn't that mean that he will be leading an opposition against the boy?"

"He will but not openly. He would be subtle about it and can only delay things until the Sect Leader comes out of seclusion. The knowledge of that law is not known by all. Those below the Great Elders have no idea about it."

"And when will the Sect Leader be out?"

"I have no idea," the Supreme Guardian shook his head.

"But it all doesn't matter in the end. After all, with his identity, he does not need to be the future leader of our sect."

"Hmm, you are right, it doesn't. But holding a bit more power never hurt anyone did it?"

Within the tower...

Arthur battled the sword puppets and was immediately at a disadvantage.

Both puppets seem to work in perfect harmony and their attacks complimented each other, putting Arthur in a tight spot.

Once in a while, he would land a hit or two on them but he would also get injured in the process.

In a hundred breaths, he had been on the defensive most of the time, but he was also slowly beginning to adapt to their attack patterns.

His sword attacks began to become more fluid and even though he was using the simplest methods of attacking with the sword, he had learned to make each attack connect with the next.

"Is this really his first time using a sword?" David felt disbelief.

Sophia felt the same too but she kept quiet and kept her eyes fixated on the screen showing Arthur's battle.

'A true genius,' she said to herself.

While Arthur fought he was also using his spirit power to analyze and comprehend the sword intents of the puppets.

With his powerful soul, Arthur found out that he could multitask easily without any challenge at all. And right now he was using that ability of his.

Time passed and soon Arthur comprehended 6th rank sword intent!

*slash!*

His attacks became faster and more deadly and he was finally able to stand his ground against both puppets.

Now he could defend and attack without getting injured. Rather, it was the puppets that were getting filled with sword marks caused by his sword enhanced by sword intent.

As Arthur's sword intent rank increased he discovered that his mastery over the sword became greater and he was beginning to gain perfection in the most basic sword moves.

'Stab!'

'Slash!'

'Block!'

'Redirect!'

The more he fought, the more he learned, and slowly but surely he began to gain the upper hand.

'I will drag this fight on as long as I can!'

But Arthur was not in a hurry to win. No, rather he wanted the battle to last as long as possible for a reason.

'I want to raise my comprehension of sword intent!'

? 'I don't know which sword technique these puppets are using but they contain a deep comprehension of the sword and seem to make the intent vivid within the perception of my spiritual power.'

Arthur wondered what sword technique they were using which was a perfect combination of good footwork and fluid, but almost unpredictable attacks.

'If it wasn't for the advantage of my spiritual power, I would have lost by now if I don't release my martial souls.' 𝘧𝘳𝐞𝚎𝑤ℯ𝘣𝗻𝘰ѵℯl.c𝐨𝚖

Arthur decided that if he had a chance to learn this sword technique, he would not miss it.

Time passed and Arthur had exchanged hundreds of moves with the puppets but he has not lost and was not winning either.

But his comprehension of sword intent was increasing the longer he fought.

Soon Arthur felt his soul tremble a bit and he advanced again. prehended and in one fluid motion decapitated the puppets like it was nothing.

"Hah...hah..." Arthur panted, as he sweated profusely.

This battle had taken a lot out of him and he was running out of essence energy.

Although, he was feeling tired physically he was still very vibrant mentally because of his powerful soul.

Arthur dropped his sword which now had cracks on it and picked up the swords of the puppets.

Holding both swords in his hands, Arthur asked himself.

"Can I dual wield?"

``````````

Outside the tower, the number displayed changed once more and showed that of the last floor.

[33!]

"Woah, he did it. He reached the highest floor!"

"This means our sect now has a seven-star battle genius."

"With such a figure none of the other sect's geniuses can raise their head in front of us again."

"Guys you are forgetting something."

"What?"

"We should be planning how to hug the thigh of this great figure now that he isn't too strong yet!"

"Hmph! You guys are still planning? I already have a plan."

"Me too, I have been polishing my bootlicking skills for times like these!"

"You fools, do you think that he would bother with good for nothings like you?"

"That's right, with that guy's battle power he could probably defeat most of the outer sect disciples here."

The disciples discussed Arthur like he was a celebrity. And at the moment he could be considered one.

The identity of a seven-star genius was just that great.

``````````

At a mansion deep within the sect, an inner disciple ran to the door and knock hurriedly.

A disciple in a purple robe opened the door and said with a frown.

"What is it, can't you see that the Young Master said no one should disturb him at this time?!" He was a bit angry.

"This is urgent, a new disciple has broken his record!"

"What?!"
