Beast Taming: Sharing Pets' Abilities-Chapter 406 - 405: Recruiting Cang Yuejiao!

And among these Sword Skill Daoist Scriptures, there were indeed some that Gu Yuan could not comprehend in a short amount of time.

However, Gu Yuan did not feel ashamed of this. Since he had helped the Cang Family resolve such a big problem, it was only fitting for them to repay him in some way.

Until that afternoon.

The weather was hot, and Gu Yuan sat under a tree, seemingly cooling off, but he was actually controlling thirty-six Flying Swords condensed from water vapor, slashing against each other.

Although condensed from water vapor, they were as hard as Refined Gold. When they collided, sharp energy burst forth, resounding with a clanging sound.

However, under Gu Yuan’s control, these Flying Swords only circulated within a small range, and the movement was not very loud.

With these Sword Skill Daoist Scriptures provided by the Cang Family, combined with the Sword Intent left behind by the Primordial Spirit True Immortal given to him by Ancestor Danxia, he had made significant progress.

However, there was still a long way to go before it evolved into the Prototype of Great Divine Techniques.

Gu Yuan was not in a hurry.

After all, his current Swordsmanship Talent was still somewhat lacking.

Once the Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly evolved to an Ancient Exotic Insect like the Cyan Jade Sword Butterfly, Gu Yuan would naturally possess its talent, and at that time, comprehension would certainly be much more convenient and simple.

"Hmm?"

At this moment, Gu Yuan’s heart stirred, and he glanced at the doorway.

Then, the courtyard gate was pushed open, and a radiant figure walked in.

"Senior Brother Gu."

The visitor greeted Gu Yuan with a polite gesture, her figure was graceful and delicate, her appearance exquisite and coldly beautiful, it was Cang Yuejiao.

She then fixed her gaze on the thirty-six Flying Swords in the air.

At this moment, these thirty-six Flying Swords were colliding with each other, each emitting a different Sword Intent.

Some were agile and swift, some bursting with heat, some were imposing and heavy, some brimming with vitality, some were peerlessly sharp...

These Flying Swords honed each other, exhibiting various profound truths of sword skills, fascinating Cang Yuejiao to the point where she couldn’t take her eyes off them, hardly even blinking.

The Swordsmanship demonstrated by Gu Yuan was indeed exquisite. Just by watching for a moment, she surprisingly had quite a bit of insight.

For a time, she even forgot her purpose for coming.

This girl’s Sword Dao Talent is indeed quite good... Gu Yuan glanced a few times, thinking to himself.

Then, under Gu Yuan’s control, the thirty-six Sword Lights collided.

Some of the Sword Lights shattered and were absorbed by the intact ones.

Thus, these Sword Lights collided, devouring each other, finally transforming into a bright and crystalline Sword Light, flickering around Gu Yuan like a swimming fish.

Clang—

Following a sword cry, the Sword Light turned and actually slashed directly towards Cang Yuejiao.

This Sword Light was elusive and unfathomable, swift and unpredictable, containing a sharpness that seemed capable of slashing through all things visible and invisible in the world.

However, Cang Yuejiao faced this Sword Light without any surprise or panic.

She flicked her fingers, sending out a Sword Qi, cutting off a branch overhead, which she caught in her hand.

With the branch in hand, she brushed it, and amidst flying wood shavings, a Wooden Sword appeared in her palm.

Then, Cang Yuejiao met Gu Yuan’s Water Sword with her Wooden Sword.

The Water Sword’s glow was translucent and clear, yet exuded a sharp and swift aura, while the Wooden Sword emitted an aura brimming with vitality, mixed with a touch of sharpness.

Clang!!!

The two collided, producing a sound akin to the clash of metal.

Both were top-notch Swordsmanship geniuses under the sky, sparring and sharpening their skills with keen mutual understanding.

They exchanged blows back and forth, thoroughly enjoying their match.

Gu Yuan initially held back, intending only to use thirty percent of his Swordsmanship skill.

He wanted to observe Cang Yuejiao’s abilities.

After all, sparring with others, honing one’s Swordsmanship through others, is actually a method and approach to practicing swordsmanship.

Especially with a Sword Dao genius like Cang Yuejiao, reaching her level means her Swordsmanship has its own uniqueness, not to be underestimated.

To elevate his own Sword Dao Divine Techniques, Gu Yuan needs not only stronger Swordsmanship Talent, but a solid foundation in Swordsmanship itself is also crucial.

To Gu Yuan, Cang Yuejiao was like a living Sword Skill Daoist Scripture, perhaps even more valuable than a profound Sword Skill Daoist Scripture.

Because within Cang Yuejiao’s Swordsmanship was contained the crystallization of her intelligence, even the foundation of her lifelong cultivation. Once Gu Yuan mastered the essence of her Swordsmanship, it would be of immense value to him.

However, Gu Yuan somewhat underestimated Cang Yuejiao’s level; using thirty percent of his skills did not overrun her, while forty percent only put him on par with her.

It was only when he used fifty percent of his Swordsmanship that he managed to overpower Cang Yuejiao’s Swordsmanship.

However, truly overpowering the opponent held no real meaning; Gu Yuan was aiming to explore the opponent’s depth, to absorb her essence of Sword Dao, rather than merely defeat her.

Therefore, his displayed level of Swordsmanship was always just slightly above Cang Yuejiao’s.

Just enough to make Cang Yuejiao struggle to parry, overstretch herself, use her every skill, and even ignite her potential.

Though sparring, Cang Yuejiao’s Swordsmanship made slow yet steady progress.

Crack—crack—

After more than an hour, as the Wooden Sword in Cang Yuejiao’s hand cracked, turning into slivers and shreds, this sparring session finally came to an end.

With a thought from Gu Yuan, the Flying Sword condensed from water vapor shattered, turning into strands of water vapor and dissipating into the air.

He appeared calm and natural, revealing nothing out of the ordinary.

However, opposite him, Cang Yuejiao was breathing heavily, her pretty face flushed, a fine layer of sweat covering her forehead, and her entire arm trembled uncontrollably, clearly exhausted.

Nonetheless, her eyes were exceptionally bright.

Because through the earlier sparring in Swordsmanship, she couldn’t fathom Gu Yuan’s depth, only feeling his Swordsmanship was masterful, profound, and ever-changing, far surpassing her own by an unknown measure.

It was precisely because of this sparring session that she benefited immensely.

If they sparred a few more times, Cang Yuejiao was confident she could elevate her own Swordsmanship to a higher level!

"Thank you, Senior Brother Gu, for your pointers."

Cang Yuejiao expressed her gratitude. She knew that the sparring just now was in name only; in reality, she had used every trick she had, while Gu Yuan had held back significantly.

Therefore, she had gained a lot, all thanks to Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan shook his head, instructing:

"You need not be polite. Considering your Swordsmanship Talent, your foundation is relatively solid, but you cultivate the Wood Element Daoist Scripture. However, your Sword Skill Divine Techniques, although somewhat related to the Wood Attribute, lean more towards Metal."

"Currently, your cultivation level is still shallow, but once you prepare to advance to the Golden Core Realm in the future, there will be obstacles, making it impossible for you to form a First Grade or Second Grade Pill."

Cang Yuejiao furrowed her brows slightly. Being a genius in Swordsmanship, she was somewhat aware of this issue, but although the Cang Family was a millennium-old family, they had never produced figures like a Sword Immortal.
