Chapter 1004: Chapter 105 Ol’Fatty’s Blade Intent
“Yes!”
All disciples responded in unison, intensifying their focus and staring unwaveringly at the scenes in the scroll, beginning to comprehend its depths.
“Sect Master Ying, how many do you think can grasp the essence of the Blade Formation Array this time?”
The elder in grey attire spoke indifferently.
Ying Diao glanced at Li Xiaobai before saying, “At least ten, I suppose?”
“Ten?”
“Sect Master Ying indeed tries not to offend anyone. There’s indeed about ten if each family and power has a disciple who comprehends the mood. However, this Blade Formation Array is not so easy to understand. In my humble opinion, the only one on the stage who may comprehend anything is my Blade Sect’s True Disciple, Shen Dao!”
The grey-clothed elder stroked his beard as he spoke. Shen Dao was one of his personal disciples whose cultivation level had already reached the Heavenly Immortal Realm. Most importantly, he had already seen the Blade Formation Array and comprehended a kind of Blade Will from it. At this moment, it was a deliberate arrangement to have him pretend to be cultivating and comprehending so that when he later revealed his Blade Will, it would astonish everyone, demonstrating that the Blade Sect’s talent was still as vast as the sea.
Today, the vassal forces of the Blade Sect could only watch the Blade Sect shine brilliantly.
“Elder Dao has misunderstood me. What I meant was that those ten children from my Sword Sect should be able to grasp something. As for the others, it’s hard to say.”
Ying Diao spoke at length with a stern poker face.
“You!”

The grey-clothed elder was so angry that his temples throbbed, suppressing the urge to strike out.
“I wonder what the origins of these children are for Sect Master Ying to have such confidence in them?”
The Sect Elders from various sects listening felt uncomfortable, feeling somewhat insulted that their disciples were being shamed by mere children.
What could those two or three-year-old toddlers, not yet able to speak, possibly understand?
Did they really hope to grasp anything? It would be quite an achievement if they were not turned into fools by the majestic aura emanating from the scroll!
Ying Diao said, “They are the fresh blood of my Sword Sect. A new generation is replacing the old. In no time, these children will become the pillars of the Sword Sect.”
“Heh, too bad, the future pillars of the Sword Sect might just be destroyed by the Blade Formation Array today.”
The grey-clothed elder sneered sarcastically and exchanged a glance with the Great Elder, who immediately understood and formed a Seal Spell with his fingers behind his back, releasing an invisible terror from within the Blade Formation Array.
The true capacity of this array was now being activated to a greater extent; the presence of steel-clad military generals and the Iron Blood War Banner felt as if they were right beside him. Li Xiaobai could faintly see a figure of a disheveled military general kicking his steed towards him and chopping down with a crimson giant blade that loomed ever larger before his eyes, its fierce aura assailant as if he was truly being attacked by someone wielding a blade.
Yet, there was no reaction on the System Attribute Points panel—everything was just an illusion, or perhaps a manifestation of the mood within the Blade Formation Array, not a real attack.
Looking around at the others, many of the surrounding Sect Elders and cultivators couldn’t help but cover their faces and retreat a few steps, clearly startled by the recent scene.
“I didn’t expect the mood within the Blade Formation Array to be so lifelike; that figure with the drawn blade and ready steed had me even struggling to distinguish reality from illusion. It’s truly incredible!”
“However, this brings even greater shock to the minds of the younger generation!”
“The greater the shock, the more that the Blade Formation Array reveals, and the chance of comprehension increases.”
“But for the children of the Sword Sect, I’m afraid it’s not so friendly. They are only toddler-aged children, probably with not fully awakened minds. Being invaded by this sharp mood—if it were the child of an ordinary family, I fear that all creatures would end up as fools!”
The Elders whispered and murmured among themselves.
Mood conveyed a spiritual force. For normal cultivators faced with this kind of power, at most, they would feel fear without taking any substantial damage. However, for children, it was different—the Blade Sect had deliberately intensified the aura of the Blade Formation Array. This was a ruthless move to eradicate their future!
“Xiaobai, is this reliable?”
Ying Diao asked again with some uncertainty.
“Don’t worry, Sect Master, it’s super reliable!”
Li Xiaobai was full of confidence. He had already experienced the extraordinary abilities of these children early on. It could be said that sudden enlightenment upon the stimulation of an opportunity was the norm for them.
With a treasure like the Blade Formation Array, which was hard to find even if you were looking for it with a lantern, these children would definitely understand.
At the center of the arena.
The toddler stared around with wide eyes. He didn’t understand anything about the content of the scroll, nor did he have any interest in it. Rather, the ten children beside him were shaking their heads and acting as if they were drunk.
“Yiyi yaya!”
The toddler pinched Ergouzi’s ear.
“Quiet down, I’m beginning to grasp something. There’s the figure of a Buddhist Sect monk in this scroll, wielding a short sword. Given my peerless talent, I should be able to comprehend it!”
Ergouzi revealed his true colors, impatiently pushing the toddler aside.
“Yiyi yaya!”
The toddler crawled next to Ji Wuqing and patted its body, indicating to continue massaging his back.
“What’s all the noise about? I am in the midst of grasping the will of the flames. That Fiery Female War Deity aligns well with my Bloodline Power. It’s outrageous that even when I revealed a hint of my Phoenix Bloodline, she still ignored me. Maybe another round of persistent wooing will lead to some gains!”
Ji Wuqing flapped its wings, emitting a scorching breath to push the toddler aside. With treasures at stake, friendship with the toddler was just an empty title.
The toddler was furious and sat waiting, staring fixedly at the figures in the scroll, trying to discern something.
Time ticked away second by second, and all the Disciples were engrossed in a tense and anxious state of comprehension. So absorbed were they that the onlookers could even feel waves of killing intent emanating.
Many of the Sect Elders stroked their beards with satisfaction, watching their Sect Disciples so deeply engaged. Regardless of whether they would gain any insight this time, as long as they maintained such an attitude towards cultivation, their future accomplishments wouldn’t be limited.
“Hahaha, I’ve got it!”
A hearty laugh broke the silence, prompting people to look toward a young bladesman who slowly stood up. A sharpness radiated from him, a soft and lingering Blade Will spreading from his body, originating from the Blade Formation Array.
“Thank you, Great Elder, for your contribution. I, Shen Dao, have lived up to expectations and grasped the Flowing Water Blade Will. I’m certainly among the best in the Heavenly Immortal Realm now!”
The young bladesman, dressed in green and with peach blossom eyes, radiated a gentle yet sly aura, releasing the Blade Will within him unabashedly. He dominated everyone present. This was precisely the task the Great Elder had assigned him: to show off his Blade Will and let the other Sect powers know who was the boss!
“Good, very good,” said the Great Elder, nodding with satisfaction, sparing no praise.
“He’s really grasped the Blade Will!”
“That Blade Will is no simple matter!”
The Elders of the various powers revealed intense shock in their eyes. This Disciple from the Blade Sect had actually grasped the essence of the scroll!
The emanating Blade Will couldn’t be faked. The Flowing Water Blade Will, with its characteristic Blade Will that was the hardest to comprehend and not like the usual fierce Blade Will, rendered him invincible among his peers the moment he struck!
“Shua!”
Before Shen Dao could say anything more, another astonishing blade light shot up into the sky above the arena. The Blade Will pierced the heavens and transformed into the figure of a sleazy fat man hanging high in the air, looking shifty-eyed with a gold-threaded giant ring saber slung over his shoulder. While his demeanor was unimpressive, he exuded an indescribable sleazy quality.
Liu Jinshui stood up, carrying the gold-threaded giant ring saber and burst into laughter: “Ol’ Fatty has also grasped the Blade Will; I call it Ol’ Fatty’s Blade Will!”
