Supreme of the Heavenly Realm-Chapter 638 - 632: Supreme

"Not bad at all, Heavenly Martial Holy Land, to simply bring out a unique Supreme Grade high-rank sword technique and have it stolen by someone."

At this point, those participating in the assessment had already passed the first round. Most of them will remain here, becoming disciples of the Heavenly Martial Holy Land, so there was no fear of the sword technique getting out.

With Ye Xuan’s talent and soul power, coupled with his photographic memory, he wasn’t worried about comprehending the swordsmanship.

Roughly an hour later, the complete sword technique was finally exhibited.

"You now have a quarter of an hour to ponder over the swordsmanship. In a quarter of an hour, I want to see your results," said Bai Jingxuan, looking at the numerous ashen faces in front of him, a smile spreading across his face as if quite satisfied. However, when he saw Ye Xuan’s still unfazed expression, he couldn’t help but frown. This kid, he isn’t panicked? Could he have really learned something?

"It’s too difficult, too fast. I haven’t understood anything, and it’s already over."

"It just goes to show we’re not cut out for the Sword Dao Department; we might as well switch to another discipline."

Many people had ugly expressions, clearly deeply shaken by the recent assessment.

"Look at that kid, acting all wise as if he’s really learned it."

Someone noticed Ye Xuan and immediately scoffed.

"If we can’t learn it, do you think this bumpkin could?"

No one was optimistic about Ye Xuan. They all thought it was time for a little face-slapping, and Ye Xuan should pay for his earlier brash statement.

An hour passed quickly, and Bai Jingxuan began to examine everyone’s progress to see what could be learned from just one viewing.

Generally speaking, to learn half of it would already qualify one as a Sword Dao prodigy, and mastering more than seventy percent would often warrant an A rating.

"I’ll give it a try first."

The speaker was Lin Chen, a member of a Saint family, who walked forward confidently, drew his long sword, and began to brandish it.

After a display of the sword technique, it was astonishingly about seventy to eighty percent accurate.

Sheathing his sword, Lin Chen showed a seemingly very humble expression and said, "With my limited talent, this is as far as I could learn."

"Not bad at all. Brother Lin Chen truly lives up to the reputation of a Saint family, your Sword Dao talent is indeed amazing," praised Bai Jingxuan, very satisfied with the performance. Lin Chen’s display could be rated an A, which was exceptionally good.

"You flatter me, Brother Bai."

A hint of undisguised pride flashed across Lin Chen’s face. Looking over at Ye Xuan not far away, he sneered and said, "Now, I’m only interested in seeing how big a surprise this favored disciple of Lady Yu can show us."

"I am very much looking forward to that as well."

Bai Jingxuan watched Ye Xuan with a smile. Ye Xuan had made some bold claims earlier, and he too wanted to see how Ye Xuan would handle things now.

Faced with many skeptical gazes, Ye Xuan remained unperturbed. He calmly stepped forward, drew the Dragon Abyss Ancient Sword, and began executing moves as fluid as clouds and flowing water.

As Ye Xuan’s sword moves progressed, the smiles on Bai Jingxuan’s and Lin Chen’s faces quickly became stiff.

Because the sword technique that Ye Xuan was employing was almost indistinguishable from what Bai Jingxuan had demonstrated earlier; it was identical!

A smug smile also spread across Lady Yu’s face. The ability to mimic on the spot was not something everyone possessed, especially when it was a Supreme Grade high-rank sword technique. Ye Xuan’s performance had pleasantly surprised her too.

"Not bad at all, to actually be able to learn completely through mere observation on the scene. This young man’s Sword Dao talent is truly astonishing."

Up in the loft, a Saint’s eyes sharpened, and his expression was one of sheer amazement.

After only a few minutes, Ye Xuan sheathed his sword and then glanced indifferently at the others, "I wonder whether my performance could be rated as Supreme Grade?"

"Supreme Grade is more than sufficient."

Bai Jingxuan forced a smile. Ye Xuan had almost flawlessly repeated the entire swordsmanship sequence, a feat he had never seen before.

"Goodness, could it be that Lady Yu had already taught you this swordsmanship set beforehand? Otherwise, after only watching it once, how could you have executed it without missing a single move? There must be trickery at play!"

Suddenly, Lin Chen cried out.

"What, it’s actually like this?"

"No wonder he could almost replicate the entire set of swordsmanship. It turns out he relies on such methods, which is truly contemptible."

The assessors revealed looks of sudden realization, and immediately believed it. In their view, Ye Xuan’s cultivation was mediocre and he wasn’t from the Central Domain, so how could he possibly possess such terrifying talent? It must have been achieved through cheating.

"Utter nonsense!"

By this time, Lady Yu could no longer hold back. These worthless boys, completely irrational, to even come up with such an idea.

"Sister, calm your anger. When they want to condemn someone, they’ll find any excuse. If you make a move, they’ll think you’re acting out of spiteful embarrassment, which will make them even more suspicious."

Ye Xuan stopped Lady Yu, "Since you accuse me of using dishonorable means, very well then, I will not join the Sword Dao Department. Consider this assessment as if I’ve not passed."

The swordsman of the Sword Dao Department might not have deeper insight or higher level compared to him. Why must he absolutely join the Sword Dao Department? He could also consider other departments.

"Ha-ha, I’ve seen through you, haven’t I? Still no admission? You waste, this is the Heavenly Martial Holy Land, not a place for you to cheat."

Seeing Ye Xuan back down, Lin Chen laughed heartily, as if he had hit the nail on the head, and looked at Ye Xuan with mockery and disdain filling his gaze.

Swoosh!

Just as his sharp voice fell, a whistling sound suddenly echoed, and Lin Chen’s laughter came to an abrupt halt because there was a green ancient sword suspended in front of his neck, at his throat.

At this moment, the entire plaza fell utterly silent.

"I must be seeing things, it’s the Sword Control Skill!"

Up in the pavilion, the saint who had spoken earlier widened his eyes in disbelief.

The Sword Control Technique was a sign of an extremely high Sword Dao Realm, unrelated to one’s own realm. Even within the Sword Dao Department of the Heavenly Martial Holy Land, very few could use the Sword Control Technique, and among the current generation of disciples, none had—Ye Xuan was the first.

"This kid’s grade isn’t just Supreme; it should be considered beyond Supreme!" another saint said after a moment of shock, his face filled with emotion.

"No, this talent cannot be wasted by Lady Yu. He should become the pride of the Sword Dao Department."

That saint burst forth, emitting a Sword Intent, clearly a member of the Sword Dao Department.

As this saint landed in the plaza, he immediately attracted many eyes.

"Greetings, Master Diancang."

Bai Jingxuan bowed his hand, yet the other seemed as though he hadn’t heard a thing.

In his eyes, there was only Ye Xuan.

"Young man, I am Diancang Sword Saint. Your talent in the Sword Dao is unmatched among the young generation in the Heavenly Martial Holy Land. Join our Sword Dao Department, only there can your exceptional talent be fully discovered. Do not let yourself be blinded by a woman’s charms. Most of the time, beauty is an obstacle to cultivation."

Diancang Sword Saint earnestly advised Ye Xuan.
