You Have Science, I Have Martial Arts-Chapter 355 - 189: Approval from the Celestial Sword (3)
The two people looked shocked: "This is... Sword Intent?"
Being able to capture Sword Intent through calligraphy, leaving it on paper, solid and unwavering—such a skill even a Martial Arts Master might not achieve, yet Ye Qingzhou, a mere Professional Level, possesses such ability?
However, Sikong Jingming’s expression was even more surprised, because with his Martial Saint’s cultivation and realm, he saw the true value of this piece of calligraphy.
"Ahem, Tianlang, I really like this word ’sword’, name your price, I want it."
"Huh?"
Yuan Tianlang was bewildered, although Ye Qingzhou, at such a young age, could integrate Sword Intent into calligraphy, preserving it on paper, a truly astonishing ability.
But for the dignified Sikong Jingming, a Martial Saint, to ask for it seems too absurd?
Too absurd indeed.
But seeing Sikong Jingming ask, Yuan Tianlang naturally couldn’t refuse: "We’re brothers, after all, no need for talk of money. If you like it, just take it."
"Alright, then I will accept it gladly."
Sikong Jingming knew that Yuan Tianlang not accepting money was perhaps to exchange a favor, but he thought it worth it, so he agreed without hesitation.
After the banquet, Sikong Jingming declined the Yuan Family’s offer to stay over and instead checked into the hotel he had booked.
After leaving the Yuan Family, Sikong Xingyan couldn’t help but ask: "Grandfather, is it worth exchanging a favor for just a piece of calligraphy?"
"Worth?"
Sikong Jingming sighed deeply, marveling: "If the Linjiang Yuan Clan knew the true value of this word ’sword’, they’d regret it to death."
"Huh?"
Sikong Xingyan was baffled.
Sikong Jingming unfolded the calligraphy, becoming more infatuated with it as he looked, then casually asked with a smile: "Xingyan, what do you see on this?"
"Isn’t it just the word ’sword’?"
"Wrong, there’s a dragon on it."
At that moment, Sikong Jingming seemed to hear a thunderous Dragon’s Roar by his ears, and the word ’sword’ before him came alive, resembling a dragon soaring through the skies, traversing the heavens.
Aspiration to Reach the Heavens, Riding the Dragon!
Through words convey the heart, through the sword indicate intent.
This ’sword’ by Ye Qingzhou represents one of the Six Techniques, the Wind Force, the Sword Intent of the Dragon Ascending with Divine Speed.
This is Sword Intent at the level of Mastery!
Sikong Jingming put away the calligraphy, then instructed Sikong Xingyan: "Book the tickets for tomorrow, we’re returning to the Imperial Capital."
"Huh?"
If Sikong Jingming hadn’t been calm and clear at this moment, Sikong Xingyan would have thought her grandfather had gone senile.
"Grandfather, weren’t you coming to Linjiang to meet someone?"
"No need to meet."
"Why?"
"Such a peerless prodigy, how could I, with what little skill I have, be his master?"
Sikong Jingming sighed softly, realizing through the calligraphy the person, understanding that Ye Qingzhou’s Wind Force has reached the level of Mastery, and his Sword Intent has already condensed.
Such astounding talent no longer needs anyone to teach him Swordsmanship.
Moreover, Sikong Jingming still had some pride; he hadn’t even mastered the Wind Force at that level, so what could he possibly teach Ye Qingzhou?
In his eyes, Ye Qingzhou was already on par with Zhang Xinwu as a peerless genius.
Such a peerless genius cannot be judged by common standards, for them, the so-called guidance from masters is but a joke, and might even spoil a good seedling.
Especially since Ye Qingzhou had already condensed his Sword Heart and Intent, as for techniques and skills, he could comprehend them on his own, even if he was at the Martial Saint Realm, there wasn’t much he could instruct Ye Qingzhou.
He couldn’t possibly transmit the family’s inherited cultivation techniques to someone with a different surname like Ye Qingzhou, could he?
......
On the other side, at the Zheng Family.
Zheng Zhiguang was very happy to see his nephew return after traveling and studying for three years: "Yun Yan, you’ve finally returned, where have you been these three years? If you hadn’t called from time to time to assure us, I would have thought something happened to you."
"Uncle, see? I’m fine."
Yun Yan’s face was full of joy; in the eyes of outsiders, he is always the cold-faced killer, but only in front of family does he show a bright smile.
"Where’s cousin?"
"She’s busy with livestreaming now, she should be back later."
Yun Yan nodded upon hearing that, about to say something, his gaze fell upon the desk in the study, fixating on a piece of calligraphy on Zheng Zhiguang’s desk, his attention drawn deeply to the ’sword’ character that seemed to move with dragon-like grace.
"Uncle, this character..."
"How about it, looks good, right?"
Zheng Zhiguang proudly displayed it to Yun Yan, then boasted with a smile: "This is a gift from Ye Qianlong, not only is he a martial arts prodigy, but he also dabbles in calligraphy, I have to get this framed."
"Ye Qianlong?"
On the Hidden Dragon List, among the top ten, there was only one with the surname Ye, so Yun Yan quickly understood who Zheng Zhiguang was talking about, his expression turning serious: "Uncle, you’re saying this was written by Ye Qingzhou?"
"Right, you’re also a Professional Level Martial Artist now, aren’t you? We should visit, let Ye Qianlong give you some pointers."
In Zheng Zhiguang’s eyes, Ye Qingzhou’s status already equates to that of a Martial Arts Master.
But he didn’t know that his own nephew was also a Martial Arts Master.
Yun Yan’s expression was serious: "Uncle, do you have any more of these calligraphies?"
"I only have one, I heard Ye Qianlong gave out six, why?"
"I can’t explain it all here, but if you trust me, Uncle, try to collect the other ones, no matter the cost, it’s worth it."
Yun Yan’s mood turned solemn, for through telepathy, he seemed to see a fiery Divine Dragon, representing one of the Six Techniques, the Fire Technique, the Divine Power Ascending Dragon’s Sword Intent.
Containing the Sword Intent at the level of Mastery of Fire, such a thing is beyond monetary value!
For martial artists, it’s a priceless treasure leading towards the Martial Saint Realm!
