THE REBIRTH OF A GENIUS. CREATOR/DESTROYER

Chapter 281. The Heritage of Sword Science

Last legacy. The legacy of swordsmanship.

The remaining three candidates nearly lost their composure as Sam swept through all three legacies.

They did not have much hope of getting this one out of his hands and provided they were not even swordsmen, to begin with. They were now thinking about why they had come to this place.

They had absolutely nothing to do with Murali and his skills. They have no ability. All they came here was because of their greed, not the greed of their superiors forcing them to come here.

Now they regret this. They could at least let those who were experts in this field come here and they could give it a try.

Now, all they can do is become the background and improve Sam's image.

There's a very down feeling.

But Sam doesn't care what they think. He was very satisfied with what he got. Even the reward from the formation tower was quite amusing.

This is a formation simulation disc.

On this dish, one could mark the knots and key points of a large-scale formation on a smaller scale, so that they could see if the formation really worked or not.

It helps people research their formations and see if their theories have any technical and practical feasibility.

Although he had a better version, simulating a second-floor tower in the divine dimension, he was still impressed.

Of course, he was most impressed by the experience he had gained as a gift.

As for the fourth inheritance, although he was not interested in any battle techniques he might encounter, he was looking forward to the treasures he would obtain as a reward.

As far as he was concerned, the weapons he had encountered all along did not impress him too much, he did see some impressive skill sets, indeed, but he saw nothing that impressed him to the extent that he wanted to have it.

From the reward patterns he got from the three legacies, Sam guessed the next prize was a sword and he was looking forward to the sword used by the person who shook the entire planet in his prime.

Sam took the first step confidently and this time was copying the technique. This is the most basic of all. Sword withdrawal.

He saw posture, energy flow, grip strength, hand position. He was impressed by the silhouette that showed off the movement.

It's near perfection.

But Sam copied the move easily and he did the same with the next move and the next move. It all happened just because his movements were too basic. Everyone who is familiar with the sword will know every move.

After five moves, the sixth block was not to copy the movements, but rather he had to control his sword aura.

Until the fifth test, even the remaining candidates can pass after a few tries, but from now on there is no such thing as passing easily.

Because sword aura can only be obtained based on the level of practice and understanding that one has towards the sword.

They should be in perfect synchronization and feel like the sword is part of them and they themselves should feel like a sword.

So, the sixth test was that he had to resonate with his sword aura to the aura that was on the block.

Sam closed his eyes and started to relax. He made sure that his mind and body were completely united and in his mind, there was only one sword.

He started trying to get the feeling of being a sword himself. He slowly started to forget everything about his body. His legs, his arms, his skin. He started to forget everything in his body. His breathing became sharp and slowly all he could feel was the sword aura around his body and his body unconsciously resonated with it.

He could even feel his breath trembling with it. Sam lost all his senses, all he could feel was instinct. That was the only thing left for him and with that instinct, he stepped forward.

A beam appeared under his feet. Seventh block.

On the block, Sam could feel the suppressive effect of the sword aura. The aura here was sharper than the previous one and he could feel the sharpness pressing down on him and trying to devour him. But he didn't back off.

He started to fight, his breathing became sharper, he could feel the clash between the two sword auras and soon he confidently took the next step. Meanwhile, the remaining candidates were all attacking in the sixth block.

The test in this inheritance is quite simple. They are straight forward and simple in nature. All the tested Muralis were basic and consistent exercises with basic moves and sword auras.

This was the most straight forward way to validate one's swordsmanship.

He never even tried this.

But now that the situation had arrived, he started to do the unknown.

And soon, he was surprised by her reaction. He could sense that the amount of mental strength required for this was quite high and for a normal cultivator at his level, it would be extremely exhausting.

Sam carefully tried to understand the frequency of the fluctuations and in another half an hour, he could do it.

He moved to the next block and this time, what he had to go through was another thing altogether.

There were two sword auras, not one. He had to split his sword aura in two and match two different frequencies simultaneously. This is even more difficult than previous tests.

Sam is really confused. He could perform many tasks, but he never knew that the sword aura could even be divided into two.

He did not know how to proceed and it even took him more than an hour just to understand how to go further in this situation.

He began to think of two things at a time to begin with and slowly began to work his way up.

He imagined himself to be two entities, two bodies at once, and slowly transformed himself into two swords. He tried to use the same method he used in the sixth block to create a sword aura.

Sam's really in trouble. If not for his high mental strength, he would have already lost his mind by now.

After more than three hours of struggling desperately, he was finally able to overcome the problem. Two sword auras at different frequencies.

He thought about how difficult the tenth exam was and he almost lost confidence. The tenth test was to create two sword auras and change the two between two different boundaries.

Sam almost wanted to go crazy. The test was simple and straight forward, he couldn't be happier than this aspect in the first three legacies, but now, he was completely confused.

He was the master of many weapons because he practically stayed with them in his previous life. But he had never trained a weapon so far, the only exception was his claws. But he didn't want to use his claws too much.

They need a much bigger target and are more worthy to wear. He loved them like his second life. That was why, he would not wear it easily and only did so in the event of a massacre, against a worthy opponent, or completing a great mission.

Sam began to concentrate. No matter what, he had to look at the prize for this round.

He carefully concentrated and repeated what he did in the previous test, to create two sword auras and after doing that, he concentrated on their fluctuations. The problem is that the two are completely in sync. Sam would have appreciated this much if it had been before, but now this was a huge distraction because he didn't want them to be in sync.

Both should fluctuate in different frequencies and limits altogether.

Since he could not do that at the same time, he split the work. First, he kept both sword auras active and kept them fluctuating just one of them. Then slowly, he started to fluctuate with each other, with very little variation, and soon, he was able to reach the goal and with lightning, he was able to pass the tenth test.

This time, although it was not just a flash of a sphere, there was a holographic projection of Murali in the air. He looked at Sam and said.

"Congratulations on completing the sword's legacy. Before you get the treasure, I have to tell you something.

Apart from the memories and experience of my sword training, there is one more thing and that is the sword.

This is the greatest sword I have ever had, but I could never use it. To be more precise, I did not dare to use it.

Because it's a cursed weapon.

I'll have to warn you, who took that sword only if you have full confidence that you can use it, otherwise you won't be able to bear the consequences.

So, if you are not confident, I hope you leave the sword here and it will be sealed in this place forever."

With those words, the holographic projection disappeared. Sam watched his surroundings and saw that the others were also listening to Murali's words.

He frowned at this. And after some thought, he realized.

He tried to force the person who obtained the treasure to leave the sword here. That Cursed Weapon was unusual, only a select few could deal with it.

But if it was really that bad, Murali might not have put him in the first place, but there might be another explanation that there might be a possibility that a truly worthy candidate for this sword would come.

He could not help but shake his head.
