For a disciple to become strong, their master's own martial dao could be average, but the master had to have rich knowledge in martial dao.
This was so that they would be able to provide coaching to their disciple during the process of cultivation.

 

Not to mention sects, even family clans and institutions would have their own relevant martial instructors.

 

Since the sect leader of the Iron Bones Sect had let it be known that Li Qingyang's accomplishments would only become greater, the elder of Azure Mountain Sect had no choice but to step forward to inquire further.

 

He was indeed setting a trap.

 

If Jun Changxiao answered that he had martial dao experience, he would definitely seize the opportunity to ask for guidance.

 

If he answered otherwise, Clanlord Li would surely become angrier and would be more resolute in withdrawing his son from the Iron Bones Sect.

 

The older, the wiser, huh?

 

The words seemed polite and amiable but had concealed intentions.
It was meant to embarrass Jun Changxiao on purpose.

 

The cultivators from various sects cast gazes of disdain one after another.

 

A rubbish sect leader that did not even hold any cultivation realm, how could he have any martial dao experience!

 

Jun Changxiao touched his nose out of habit and said, “This seat dares not absurdly honor myself, nor will I undervalue myself.
If we're talking about martial dao experience, I must be stronger than any single person here.”

 

“This fellow is getting overboard with his bragging.
It's going beyond limits!”

 

“If not for the ban of fighting within Qingyang City, this daddy would send a kick over!”

 

“I feel that urge too!”

 

The cultivators from various sects could not continue to listen anymore.
They swore to have never seen such a posturing and nonsensical fellow ever since they cultivated the martial dao.

 

“What a good description of stronger than any single person here!” Clanlord Li said coldly.
“I would like to consult Sect Leader Jun's martial dao experience today!”

 

The elder of the Azure Mountain Sect smiled without saying anything.
He had wanted to seize the chance to say this sentence, but Clanlord Li had taken the lead.
It was evident that he was the most suitable person for it.

 

Jun Changxiao said, “What does Clanlord Li want to ask?”

One should not be fooled by the calmness on his face.
He was anxiously pulling open the system merchant store and searching for items related to the martial dao.

 

He had just crossed over not long ago and was only at the fifth stage of the Meridian Opening Realm.
He definitely did not have any martial dao experience!

 

At this moment, Sect Leader Jun could only pin his hopes on the Strongest Sect System.
He hoped to be able to find items relating to martial dao in the merchant store.

 

Clanlord Li calmly said, “There is a book in Qingyang City about a sword technique that was passed down from a hundred years back named Nine Stances Wavestack Sword.
According to its introduction, there are a total of nine moves.
However, in actual fact, it only has eight moves.
The last move is meant to be self-deduced.

 

“Since you have martial dao experience, Sect Leader Jun, you should be able to deduce the last move, right?”

 

The cultivators from within Qingyang City were all rejoicing in his misfortune.

 

“Hahaha!”

 

“This inquiry from Clanlord Li is truly ruthless!”

 

Nine Stances Wavestack Sword was the most well-known martial technique in the city.
As long as one had the ability of the fifth stage of Meridian Opening Realm, one would be able to purchase this technique from any martial techniques shop.

 

It was written very clearly on the first page of secret divine skills.

 

The sword technique had a total of nine moves, but there were only eight moves recorded.
The last move had to be deduced by the cultivator themself.

 

For over a hundred years, there have been a million cultivators trying to cultivate Nine Stances Wavestack Sword.
However, thus far, no one had been able to achieve enlightenment regarding the last move.

 

There was gossip saying that the lord of Qingyang City had comprehended the final move during his adolescence! However, he had never made use of the last move, so everyone still knew nothing about the ninth move.

 

“Nine Stances Wavestack Sword?”

 

The elder of the Azure Mountain Sect started murmuring to himself.
He had heard of this sword technique before and even intended to purchase the manual during that time.
However, he had given up after hearing that it was only a low-grade technique.

 

Martial techniques and cultivation arts were divided into different grades in the Fallen Star Continent.
They were similar to the spirit root quality and could be classified into low-grade, mortal-grade, mid-grade, high-grade, saint-grade, and divine-grade.

 

The elder of the Azure Mountain Sect had already reached the peak of cultivation within the Martial Master Realm.
In his sect, he had always been cultivating martial techniques that were above the mortal-grade, so he had disregarded the low-grade technique.

 

Speaking of which, if the technique's level was high, how could it have become so widespread among the population of Qingyang City?

 

“Sect Leader Jun,” the elder of the Azure Mountain Sect said with a smile, “I had heard of Nine Stances Wavestack Sword before.
If you are able to deduce the ninth move, you will prove that you have true capability.”

This old fellow was very good at stirring trouble.

 

Jun Changxiao replied proudly, “To merely comprehend this sword technique, how hard can it be?”

 

The crowd could not help but sneer.

 

Over the last hundred years, there had been only a few people who managed to comprehend it.
If a newbie was able to do it, that would be extremely unusual.

 

Li Qingyang was also looking forward to it.
He had also been cultivating Nine Stances Wavestack Sword but had been stuck at the eighth move and could never deduce the ninth move.
If his sect leader did it, it would mean that he had followed the right sect and the right leader.

Under the gaze of everyone, Jun Changxiao continuously looked through the low-grade segment of the merchant store in search of an item related to the sword technique.
However, he ended up empty-handed.

 

That was it.
That was it.

 

Without a suitable item, how could he continue posturing?

 

Humph! Humph! Humph! How could I perform the ninth move of this Wavestack Sword!

 

Eh?

 

Suddenly, Jun Changxiao's gaze stopped at the item named 'Discernment Charm'.
He hastily opened up the detailed introduction.

 

Earlier, by chance, he had managed to discover this function of reading the item's detailed introduction.

 

“Item: Low-grade Discernment Charm

 

“Effect: After using it, you can discern your opponent's martial techniques and secret divine moves, thus achieving rapid comprehension.

 

“Time limit: Sixty minutes.

 

“Price: Ten contribution points.”

 

Rapid comprehension? Jun Changxiao hid his delight. This should be able to assist me in comprehending the sword technique's ninth move!

 

Swoosh!

 

He immediately tapped on the discernment charm.

Ding!

 

“Host has spent ten contribution points.
You have received one discernment charm.
It has been delivered to the interspatial ring.”

 

Ding!

 

“Sect Contribution Points: 10/100.”

 

“Clanlord Li, this seat has never cultivated the Nine Stances Wavestack Sword that you mentioned,” Jun Changxiao said.
“How can I perform the ninth move?”

 

“Bahaha, that's the best-selling sword technique in Qingyang City.
As a sect leader, how can he not have cultivated it before!”

 

“Even though Nine Stances Wavestack Sword is considered low-grade, it costs a minimum of one hundred taels of silver.
Look at his poor appearance, he can't afford it for sure!”

 

“That makes sense!”

 

“This kind of sword technique needs to be comprehended move by move.
If we wait for him to perform the ninth move, that day may never come.”

 

Everyone was discussing privately.

 

Clanlord Li's expression sank again.

 

At that moment, he felt he had been teased like an idiot by this fellow.

 

Suppressing his anger, Clanlord Li smiled insincerely and said, “Don't worry, I have brought the sword manual of Nine Stances Wavestack Sword with me.
Sect Leader Jun, you may borrow it for some research.”

 

After he finished speaking, he retrieved a blue-leathered book from the interspatial ring.

 

“Many thanks.”

 

Jun Changxiao raised his hand to receive it.

 

“But I will say some unpleasant words first,” Clanlord Li said.
“If you are unable to perform the ninth move, then please expel my son from Iron Bones Sect.”

 

Since my son was unwilling to withdraw, I shall have his sect leader expel him!

 

Clanlord Li firmly believed that since this fellow had not cultivated the Nine Stances Wavestack Sword before, forget comprehending the ninth move, even comprehending the fifth or sixth move would be extremely difficult for him.

 

“No problem,” Jun Changxiao agreed steadily.

Clanlord Li was still unassured and said, “Sect Leader Jun, you must keep your promise.”

 

“Don't worry,” Jun Changxiao said.
“The objective of my Iron Bones Clang Clang Sect is to be a firm and unyielding, to do righteous things! I will definitely not go back on my word.”

 

Once he received that confident answer, Clanlord Li threw the sword manual over.

 

 

There were so many sect cultivators watching.
He did not think that Jun Changxiao would renege on his promise.

 

“Certainly.” Jun Changxiao accpeted the sword manual.
“If this seat is able to comprehend the ninth move of this sword technique, what will you do, Clanlord Li?”

 

Throughout the past hundred years, there was only a rumor that the city lord had comprehended the ninth move.
Was he really confident that he could do it?

 

Clanlord Li was laughing coldly in his heart but appeared to cup his hands in greeting.
“If you comprehend the ninth move of this sword technique, then my son Qingyang will continue cultivating in the Iron Bones Sect.
It will be his great fortune”

With this sentence, Jun Changxiao was more assured.

 

“Huff!”

 

He took a deep breath and flipped through the sword manual.
Once he saw the complicated mnemonic chants and sword moves on the book, he instantly felt giddy and felt his vision go blurry.

 

 

Even though he had inherited the memory of the original owner and had some understanding of this world's martial secret divine skills, it was the first time he had seen such a complicated sword manual.
He even felt as though he was reading an imperial edict.

 

 

“I hope the discernment charm can assist me in rapidly comprehending the sword manual.”

 

Jun Changxiao blended his thoughts within the interspatial ring.
With a 'bang' sound, he managed to crush the exchanged charm to pieces.

 

Swoosh!

 

A gush of invisible energy followed the ring and was poured into the sea of consciousness.

 

 

Jun Changxiao suddenly felt his vision dimming.
He fell out of sorts, but this feeling was only transient.
When he regained his consciousness, he looked at the mnemonic chants and sword moves in the sword manual again.
Everything was indeed so easy to understand!
