Chapter 197: Great Accomplishment Blade Intent

Sharp and unstoppable, that was the first impression Lu Jing gave Hong Yongchun.

Especially after Lu Jing drew his long blade and stood before him, it felt as if he could be sliced in two at any moment by that cracked blade.

"Don't worry, Teacher, I know my limits."

Lu Jing said calmly.

"Hmm, you may begin your attack."

Hong Yongchun waved his hand with a solemn expression.

Before Lu Jing's attack, he quietly raised his suppressed Warrior Realm strength a bit.

Only after raising it to the level of a Ninth Realm Warrior did that chilling sharp aura fade somewhat.

Afterward, Hong Yongchun focused his concentration, and a faint bloody scent began to emanate from his body.

This was the scent accrued from years of warfare on the battlefield.

"It's about to start, quickly record!"

"Record it and post it on the forum; we might even snag a hot topic!"

Whether it was the upperclassmen outside the training hall or the freshmen huddled in the corner, almost everyone took out their phones and began filming.

Only Zhang BaiChuan clung to his longsword, his face a mix of shock and bewilderment.

As Lu Jing's blade intent grew richer, his own sword intent waned.

His sword intent, which had previously obeyed him like an arm, now refused his control and could not be unleashed at all.

"My minor-accomplished sword intent has actually been suppressed into this state......"

Zhang BaiChuan muttered: "I recall that in the combat simulation, Lu Jing's blade intent was at most entry-level; why is it so overwhelming now?!"

Lu Jing lightly stroked the long blade in his hand, his eyes calm as an ancient well.

The next moment, he raised the blade and thrust forward.

Hong Yongchun's pupils constricted slightly; Lu Jing's seemingly casual attack left him unable to find any opening.

Helpless, he could only hold his longsword horizontally before his chest, trying to block Lu Jing's attack first.

However, before he could react further, he saw a wisp of violet blade light gradually enlarging in his vision.

Clang—

The longsword hummed softly, the wind pressure wailed, and the airflow throughout the training hall was stirred.

Bang!

Hong Yongchun's longsword shattered inch by inch, his blocking stance instantly destroyed!

He gripped the remaining hilt, instinctively wanting to retreat backward.

But soon, a bone-piercing cold locked onto his neck, rendering him immobile and stiff in place.

Not only was Hong Yongchun frozen on the spot, but everyone inside and outside the training hall froze simultaneously.

Some even held their breath, utterly unable to believe what they saw.

"This......"

"Is this real? How could this be possible?!"

"Holy shit, Teacher Hong was actually sliced by Lu Jing with one blade......"

Seeing Lu Jing with one hand on his blade, pressing it against Hong Yongchun's throat, everyone swallowed nervously.

"To defeat Teacher Hong in skill, not even a senior student could manage that!"

"This Lu Jing is nothing short of a freak! A monster!"

"Enough...... enough."

Hong Yongchun's voice stammered; just a moment ago he even had the illusion of being beheaded by a single blade.

"Teacher Hong, sorry for the offense."

Lu Jing gave a slight nod, sheathing the Thousand-Blade Demon Sword.

At the moment the longsword entered its sheath, the sharp aura that had filled the training hall vanished completely.

Everyone unconsciously let out a sigh of relief.

And Zhang BaiChuan in the corner also regained control of his sword intent at that moment.

"Student Lu Jing, your blade intent should already be Great Accomplishment, but describing you with heavenly-endowed talent seems somewhat inappropriate......"

Hong Yongchun couldn't help but praise: "Setting aside your Fist Intent realm, just your Great Accomplishment Blade Intent—there is no one in this world who could comprehend it to Great Accomplishment at eighteen years old."

Hong Yongchun's words were still restrained, yet inside his heart a stormy surge had arisen!

"Eighteen years old, Great Accomplishment Blade Intent—perhaps he was already nurturing a sword in the womb!"

"Otherwise, how could it be explained?"

After slightly calming his fluctuating emotions, Hong Yongchun frowned at Lu Jing, somewhat unsure how to conclude.

Defeated by his own student, he fundamentally lacked the qualification to teach Lu Jing swordsmanship.

Nevertheless, relying on Hong Yongchun's years of combat experience, he still steeled himself to give Lu Jing a couple of pointers.

"Lu Jing, your blade is very strong; on this weapon I have nothing to teach you, but I can still offer a few suggestions......"

Hong Yongchun said with a solemn expression: "Your blade intent is mainly sharp, forward without any defense; this trait gives your blade great lethality, but also makes it prone to injury, and excessive rigidity leads to brittleness."

"If you face agile exotic beasts, or beasts that can dodge your blade intent, it will become very troublesome."

Lu Jing pondered briefly and felt that Hong Yongchun's words were indeed reasonable.

"Thank you, Teacher Hong; I've noted it down. Do I still need to continue the weapons practical class?"

"No need, I have nothing else I can teach you......"

Hong Yongchun waved his hand, wearing an expression of helplessness: "You don't need to come to this class anymore; later I'll just give you full credit."

Upon saying that, it again provoked the students' clamor.

"It can still do this?"

"No need to attend class, credits are filled automatically; this is the first time I've seen such a move!"

"Did you record the scene when Lu Jing just drew his blade?"

"We recorded it already; I've even uploaded it to the forum. You guys are too slow!"

After receiving Hong Yongchun's approval, Lu Jing walked out of the training hall.

Outside, a large crowd of students surrounded, and when they saw Lu Jing emerge, they all stepped back in all directions.

It was as if a wolf had entered a flock of sheep.

They all fell silent, watching Lu Jing disappear into the distance.

Only after Lu Jing's figure vanished completely did they let out a sigh.

At this moment, the Shogunate Martial University Forum.

Hot topics about Lu Jing still occupied the top of the list, until another post was bumped up.

【Fire! Fire! Fire! Freshman Lu Jing defeats the combat instructor with a single move in the training hall!】

【Great Blade Intent, who can rival it?!】

【The strongest freshman in history, Martial Top Scholar is terrifying as ever!!!】

The video of Lu Jing in the training hall surged in popularity, drawing many comments from senior students.

Inside a villa at Shogunate Martial University.

A young man dressed in a white Martial Way uniform was brandishing a greatsword.

His expansive swordplay, combined with a two‑handed blade the size of a door panel, exuded a strong sense of pressure.

Even if the sword were to fall freely, it could smash an adult into minced meat.

The youth's physique was somewhat thin and weak, looking quite mismatched.

"Xu Kuang, still practicing the sword?"

At that moment, a girl carrying a bottle of mineral water came down from the second floor of the villa.

"Hold off on practicing, have some water. Just now Zhugeqing outranked your Extreme Creation Tower ranking."

The girl handed the water over.

"If you can outrank, go ahead; the Extreme Creation Tower rankings are all fake. If you have the skill, try beating me on the National Newcomer Ranking."

Xu Kuang shrugged indifferently and set the massive sword aside.

Bang—

The ground instantly emitted a resonant, thunderous boom.
