Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

Chapter 526: Chapter 335: Got Inspiration?_4

She unsheathed her sword, swung it a few times, and furrowed her brows.

“What’s wrong?” Shen Ye asked.

“That demon just now reacted so quickly; my Sword Moves were suppressed,” Xiao Mengyu said.

Shen Ye stopped in his tracks.

Xiao Mengyu could only stay for twelve hours.

And deep within the Great Tomb, the exact situation was still unknown.

“I sense that you’re at the strength of the Law Realm Second Layer now, right?” he asked.

“Yes, if I could comprehend a new Professional Skill and combine it with the Dharma Eye I’ve already awakened, I could ascend to the Triple Layers of the Law Realm,” Xiao Mengyu said.

“In terms of swordsmanship, I can’t help you,” Shen Ye sighed.

“Yes, it’s something one has to slowly find inspiration for and accumulate day by day—only then is there a chance of a breakthrough,” Xiao Mengyu said.

An Aurora suddenly flashed through Shen Ye’s mind.

No, that’s not right.

Back in Eternal Night City, he had once helped the Earl find inspiration.

But…

That required Madame Daisy to bestow someone else’s skills onto him before he could use Diva Skills.

Without Madame Daisy, that was impossible.

However, back in Hell, the Nine Aspects had used their own body to release a move of slaying the dragon; how could that be explained?

“Mengyu.”

“Huh?”

“Do you have any way to perform your Sword Moves using my body?”

“…It’s not difficult, but what’s the point?”

“I want to learn some swordsmanship.”

Learn swordsmanship?

This guy always has some odd ideas.

Xiao Mengyu laughed and shook her head: “I really can’t do anything with you, wait ten minutes. I’ll recall that move and teach you.”

Shen Ye stood still, silently waiting.

The ten minutes passed quickly.

Xiao Mengyu handed the Luo Shen Sword to him, but the Divine Sword, like a fish slipping away, wriggled free from Shen Ye’s grasp and flew back to its scabbard.

“The Sword Spirit is very proud; it doesn’t want to cooperate,” Xiao Mengyu said somewhat helplessly.

“Hmph, I was the one who forged it, and now it dares to disobey?” Shen Ye was displeased.

“Alright,” Xiao Mengyu handed him a twig and said softly, “Don’t blame it, let me guide you.”

She took Shen Ye’s hands in hers and slowly guided him through the swordsmanship.

“The sword moves as my heart wills it; you need to follow its movement.”

Her Physique slowly shifted, moving Shen Ye into position.

“Now, swing the sword—”

“I will control your fingers to perform the Sword Technique; you need to be keenly aware and feel it.”

“Here, you need to step forward.”

“Very good, follow my rhythm with both hands, let the sword’s tip draw an arc, trembling continuously, dancing a veil of sword strikes…”

“There might be people around. Sword techniques must not be passed on lightly; I will convey them to you silently.”

“Yes, just like that.”

“Lastly, retract the sword.”

“Whew—”

It seemed rather challenging to control the long sword, perform swordsmanship, and transmit Sword Techniques, all while moving together with Shen Ye, and Xiao Mengyu took a few breaths before she recovered.

Lines of faint glowing text appeared before Shen Ye:

“Xiao Mengyu, with your body, reluctantly released the Sword Technique ‘Streaming Cloud Slash’.”

“You have been temporarily endowed with the skills of the Great Swordsman:”

“Streaming Cloud Slash!”

“You may use this skill temporarily and may also try to start a Swordsman class profession!”

“To begin a Swordsman class profession, the following Race is required: Human, or one’s Attribute Points need to meet the following criteria:”

“Strength: 30; Agility: 60; Spiritual Power: 20.”

“Would you like to start the profession?”

Shen Ye carefully read the instructions.

His Attributes had far exceeded these requirements; there was no need for the panic he used to feel.

To help Xiao Mengyu develop Sword Techniques—

“Start the profession.”

Shen Ye silently declared in his mind.

“You have started as a Swordsman.”

“You can now use the Sword Technique: Streaming Cloud Slash.”

Shen Ye walked to an open space and began,

“I have an auxiliary profession, specifically designed to help others ponder on Skills.”

“What is it?” Xiao Mengyu asked.

“Diva.”

“Diva? You?”

“…What? Is there a problem?”

“No, continue.”

“Ahem… I can use Diva Skill to extend your swordsmanship in various ways. Try it and see if you can gain some insight.”

“Okay.”

Xiao Mengyu responded verbally, but her gaze continued to size Shen Ye up and down.

—When did this kid start mixing it up in the entertainment industry?

He better not be outside luring young girls.

However, Shen Ye was oblivious to her thoughts and stood there quietly regulating his breath. Then he stepped forward and sang,

“Come forth—”

Diva Skill·Brilliant Opening!

The long sword in Xiao Mengyu’s scabbard trembled but did not come out.

Xiao Mengyu showed an apologetic look.

Shen Ye did not mind at all.

He held a twig in his hand, his thoughts flickering rapidly.

What to sing?

This was to help Xiao Mengyu comprehend the sword, not some stage Technique trickery in a theater.

He had to give it his all.

After glancing at Xiao Mengyu, he suddenly burst out singing,

“There is a beauty in the north, peerless and independent.”

Boom—

Sword Qi radiated from his body, sweeping around like a fierce gale.

The winds fell, and the clouds gathered into an aurora, forming twelve human figures that floated like celestial maidens behind Shen Ye.

“One glance can overthrow a city, another glance can overthrow a nation.”

Shen Ye spoke again.

Ethereal female voices sounded in the void, harmonizing with him.@@novelbin@@

It was time for the sword moves!

Shen Ye raised his hand—

Clang!

The Luo Shen Sword suddenly flew out of the scabbard, streaking across the sky, tumbling toward Shen Ye’s hand.

Xiao Mengyu was so captivated that she forgot to breathe, not paying any attention to the sword itself.

She just saw Shen Ye releasing the twig and grasping the sword.

Now it was time to slash!

“Wouldn’t you rather not know of the city or nation’s downfall, such a lady is hard to find once again.”

Shen Ye sang in a tone of melancholy.

This sense of regret swirled out from the Luo Shen Sword, immediately triggering an outburst of visions.

The cloud-formed twelve celestial maidens soared forward, aligning with him, and collectively chanted,

“Such a lady is hard to find once again.”

The sword moved.

In an instant,

Wild winds rose, celestial music scattered, and celestial maidens wavered.

Shen Ye ascended the clouds with his companions, chasing the moon with his sword, slashing dozens of times in a dance-like song.

All around was blurred sword light; the Sword Qi crisscrossed heaven and earth, breaking open the clouds, letting moonlight shower the land.

The long sword then surged into the clouds, erupting with resonating roars, before plummeting back down, “clang” as it returned to its scabbard.

In a flash,

The vision dissipated like smoke.

Shen Ye landed beside Xiao Mengyu and asked,

“Did it inspire you?”

Xiao Mengyu looked at him in a daze, not blinking, and after a while murmured,

“Very much so.”
