CHOOSING A SKILL

Even though their the Jian clan was considered a martial artists clan, they didn't have any inheritance to speak of.

Even the most strongest of their clan, the highest elder only had peak nascent profound cultivation level.

In real martial world that was only a mortal level being who had absorbed wordly energy for atleast fifty years. Even their lifespan was only a hundred year and that is the max limit, only by reaching spirit profound body at spirit profound cultivation level through life distribution can they achieve two hundred years of lifespan and that will rise as high as the number of life Destruction , nine times is the limit a person can achieve life Destruction. It is said that at that level a person can live for thousands of years without aging. Cultivation levels known are:-

BODY FOUNDATION

ELEMENTARY PROFOUND

NASCENT PROFOUND

TRUE PROFOUND

SPIRIT PROFOUND

EARTH PROFOUND

In body foundation there are three stages strength training, flesh training and bone forging each of them have three levels low , middle and peak.

Jian zujiao is at the low level of body foundation, strength training. But because of the fact that his father is the clan leader he had learn their clans core sword technique named three sword slashes. It sound like using three swords to slash someone but in it three different sword slash techniques are used and Jian zujiao had learn the first slash that is quick draw that's why he was able to kill twelve dire wolves at mid level of flesh training.

But he does not have a solid foundation in sword technique so today he came here to choose a sword style of a bit lower level to train with so that his core three sword slashes.

As Jian zujiao entered the skill hall that was two stories high he saw two middle aged guards standing at side of the entrances.

The inside of hall was the same as if he was entering a library, books filled dozen of shelves.

Ofcourse these were the lowest of lowest quality skills that their own clan members and clan leaders created, but because of their weak foundation and low level cultivation they could only create these.

As Jian zujiao entered deep he an old man with slightly bent back, he wore the same uniform as members of the clan black robe with three white slashes like a claw slash but on the left side of his chest was a golden symbol that meant elder.

When he saw Jian zujiao he slightly nodded as a greeting.

Jian zujiao bowed as well.

Because of the fact that Jian zujiao is clan leaders son everyone has to show respect to him even elders.

Skill hall elder asked:-"Young master do you need something ?"

Jian zujiao nodded and replied:-"Yes, junior came to look for swords fundamental techniques."

When skill hall elder heard this he was suprised. Because Jian zujiao has never shown any interest in cultivating and now he came here to ask for fundamental skill?

With suprise still hanging onto his old face he told zujiao:-"Fifth row at the bottom."

Jian zujiao thanked the elder and went further in.

Watching Jian zujiao walk towards the direction of that skill, Skill hall elder recovered from his shock and signalled one of the guard to come over and said :-" Quickly report to the clan leader that young master is here for fundamental skill."

"Yes sir" with that the guard went running.

Jian zujiao found the book that recorded the fundamental sword technique.

It was an extremely old book. The book was covered with dust all over and the content on it was getting blurry.

There were drawing of horizontal slash, vertical slash, defend, Pierce, etc.

"This brings back memories. When I was in high school I used to be a member of fencing club. That were since good old days."Jian zujiao mummers to himself while looking at the drawing on books.

When Jian zujiao was in his own world and in highschool, he was an elite of a fencing club and had won multiple tournaments.

This was also the reason as to how he could display a bit of strength using the three sword slashes with almost no cultivation to speak of.

When he read the whole book he understood that it was garbage. He himself knew more than fundamental of sword but Jian zujiao who never cultivated anything did not so to avoid suspicion he still came here to take this book.

Skill hall elder was still there sitting on his chair in front of a desk.

"Elder I would like to borrow this book for a week."Jian zujiao said.

skill hall elder looked at the book and asked:- "Is that all you need young master? we have a alot of skill here, even though they are not of any high level they are still better than this."

Jian zujiao said with a smile on his face:-"Yes this is all I need."

when elder saw that smile he knew that Jian zujiao would not change his mind so elder just recorded his name and name of the book and said:-"If young master need any other book please inform me, I will bring it to you."

"Thank you elder."With that Jian zujiao left.

...

After he left , he went home and started practicing his sword skills. Not from the book, but from his past self's memories where he was a member of fencing club.

While slashing the sword in the air he mummers to himself:- "A world where we can use the energy of heaven and earth as our own, a world where strong is ruler white weak gets slaughter."after a moment of pause he continued:-"World of martial artists that existed in novels and comics. I have been transferred to another world in someone else's body while retaining both sets of memories, just like in ATG novel that I read a while ago. But I don't have any magical artifact nor do I have any high level spirit to guide me."

As he mummers his skill grew sharper and sharper.

He continued:-"A world where every MC got something special."

When he says that he stopped and looked at the ground with a solemn expression.

"WTF do I have"He angrily shouts and threw away his sword.
