In order to pass the test, Austin soared into the air and then crossed his legs, floating weightlessly in
the void.
The scroll came to where he was and began shaking slightly. The girl in the scroll seemed to be more
vivid now.
Austin released his spiritual sense and scanned the scroll.
As he did so, a feeling overcame him. He smiled.
The painting on the scroll did contain a strong sword aura.
It seemed that every line in the painting contained endless sword intent and sword aura.
Luckily, Austin also possessed a strong spiritual sense and comprehending ability. He needed this to
read the painting.
Austin's achievement in swordsmanship would also help him.
Since his spiritual sense was one of his greatest strengths,
it only took a second before he was immersed in understanding the painting.
Occasionally, he would stretch out his fingers and gesture in the void to imitate the lines in the painting.
"The first one!"
Soon, he performed the first swordsmanship skill in the painting in the air above him.
"Well,
he's doing an excellent job.
This young man is not only talented in swordsmanship, but also has a strong spiritual sense and
comprehension ability.
If he concentrates solely on swordsmanship, he will meet great achievements in the future,"
the old man in green robes praised. Then he turned back to watch Austin again.
"Yes. I agree with you, sir.
He is really talented in swordsmanship.
I taught him to practice swordsmanship because I knew he was capable and saw how badly he wanted
to learn,"
Sword Son Curry said with a smile.
"Yeah, yeah. There are so many geniuses out there.
Unfortunately, only a few of them live long,"
Rollins mocked in his sharp voice.
"Yeah, right. Austin will live longer than you,"
Sword Son Curry snapped back.
"Sword Son Curry, just be grateful you are not completely dead.
You shouldn't have even returned to the Sword Cosmos. Everyone is hunting you down now.
You will regret returning soon!"
Nash yelled.
"There's no point arguing about these meaningless things any more.
Just wait and see. I will take back what belongs to me sooner or later.
After all, in order to deal with me, you joined forces with other supreme universes and allowed
foreigners to enter the Sword Cosmos.
If it weren't for you, the Blade Cosmos wouldn't have had the chance to invade our Sword Cosmos.
You are traitors of the Sword Cosmos.
All of you will be punished! I promise you that!"
Sword Son Curry replied, glaring at each of the governing gods.
"Sword Son Curry, don't act like that you are still the ruler of the Sword Cosmos.
Your era ended long ago.
And the era of Master Sword had long passed too.
You are nothing anymore.
What happened in the Sword Cosmos has nothing to do with you,"
Rollins said.
"Sword Son Curry, if you were smart, you would escape now.
You can't take care of the Sword Cosmos,"
Nash echoed.
"No. Don't bother.
You're going to die.
And that brat will die here too!"
Elder Cunning roared.
"Sword Son Curry, if we weren't in the Divine Sword Mountain now,
I would crush you under my finger,"
Elder Hodge added.
"You are nothing but four traitorous idiots!
In the past, you were scared of me!
Now, you threaten me? You're ridiculous! From what I can see, you are just cowards,"
Sword Son Curry responded with a faint smile.
"Sword Son Curry, if you are not convinced, let's just leave the Divine Sword Mountain right now. I'll
fight you alone outside!"
Rollins screamed.
"Enough!
This is the Divine Sword Mountain.
This young man is trying to comprehend swordsmanship.
Your beef doesn't matter here. Be quiet. Otherwise, I will throw you out,"
the old man in green robes ordered.
Upon his scolding, the four governing gods fell silent. The only thing they could do now was to glare at
Sword Son Curry with their hateful eyes.
This whole time,
Austin had been immersed in comprehending and appreciating the painting.
The scroll spread out further and shook harder. The young girl seemed to have come alive. Her slim
waist swayed lightly and she looked ready to jump off the page.
"The thousandth kind!"
Austin stretched out his finger and drew in the void. A set of magical swordsmanship was performed as
he did so. Immediately, the sharp sword aura surged and soared into the sky.
There were so many sword skills in the painting that
Austin couldn't take his eyes away.
'Well,
it looks like he will definitely pass this test,'
Sword Son Curry thought to himself as he watched. Pride filled his heart.
The old man in green had a similar look of appreciation on his face.
Two days passed quickly.
"The ten thousandth set of swordsmanship skill!"
In Austin's eyes, the sword aura was surging. His finger moved in the void as it performed astonishing
sword moves. In the void, some blades of grass sprung up and grew in the wind.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The grass swayed and stretched, chopping into the depths of the void. Everything they touched was
sliced into pieces.
"A blade of grass can cut the whole world!
This swordsmanship is crazy!"
Austin slowly withdrew his finger, but he was still immersed in excitement. This was beyond anything
he could have dreamed up.
"If I cultivate my Flying Swordsmanship to the highest level, I will be able to cut through all spaces.
This kind of swordsmanship used weak grass to cut everything in its way.
There are some similarities in the two kinds of swordsmanship skills,"
Austin said.
"Congratulations.
Young man, you have passed the test.
In just two days, you have comprehended all the ten thousand sets of swordsmanship skills in the
painting.
You now have a deep understanding of their true meaning, so you can easily perform them.
I must admit that you are really talented in swordsmanship.
Very good!"
The old man in green robes couldn't contain his excitement at Austin's fast progress.
"You have my permission to continue climbing the mountain.
Please!"
he then added.
"Thank you, sir,"
Austin replied and bowed respectfully.
Then he walked up along the mountain side by side with Sword Son Curry.
As soon as they were gone, the old man in green robes disappeared with a pop.
"Austin, I rarely hear sword spirits say 'please' to others,
especially to the younger generation.
You really impressed him,"
Sword Son Curry said to Austin.
"Really?"
Austin looked back at where the old man used to be.
He could only see the four governing gods trailing them. Their faces had darkened.
The more excellently Austin behaved, the angrier they grew.
Moreover, Austin's talent in swordsmanship made them feel great pressure.
Once this young man grew stronger, he would definitely threaten the safety of their own forces.
After all, he was the successor of Sword Son Curry!
And they were mortal enemies with Sword Son Curry.
