Chapter 531 - Underrated (1/2)
”Hey, look! It's the Grand Elders! Who are those two masked individuals with them?” The people there quickly took notice of their presence, as the Grand Elders were incredibly influential and powerful people there.
”I have never seen them before.”
”Me neither.”
”They must be very important if they are being guided by the Grand Elders…”
While the disciples there tried to guess the identity of these two masked individuals, the Grand Elders led Yuan and Meixiu around the Jaded Garden.
”This right here is the training hall.”
They first stopped before a large building and explained, ”This is where the disciples are lectured and taught how to wield their weapons and cultivate. In other words, it's where they are taught how to fight.”
”Although we don't really use our combat experience in the outside world, we often spar with each other so that we won't be powerless when we need to fight..”
”It is also one of the most populated places in the entire Jaded Garden due to its purposes.”
The Grand Elders then led Yuan and Meixiu inside this building that had many floors.
”The first and second floor is dedicated to disciples who wish to learn the sword.”
Senior Wang said as she opened the door to a spacious gymnasium where hundreds of disciples could be seen practicing their sword techniques.
”The sword is the most popular weapon for cultivators due to its ease of use and its destructive prowess. That's why we have two entire floors dedicated to the sword.”
Yuan used his divine sense to watch a few of these disciples practicing their sword techniques.
Then he noticed something— that their swords were enveloped by a thin layer of spiritual energy.
”They're using sword techniques…? Are these techniques from Cultivation Online or something from your families?” Yuan decided to ask them.
”These sword techniques came from Wu Family since it's their specialty,” said Senior Wang.
”I see…”
”If you'd like to learn the technique, you can join our faction and we'll let you learn as many techniques as you want, and we have over 20 different techniques combined,” she said with a smile on her face.
”I will consider it,” he said.
Sometime later, they skipped the second floor since it was the same as the first floor and went straight to the third floor.
”This floor is dedicated to disciples who wish to learn the spear and polearm— basically long-ranged melee weapons. The Shi family and Xi Family are in charge of this floor since they're both experts with long-range weapons.”
Yuan silently watched the disciples practice this unfamiliar weapon for the next few minutes, as he has only fought very few opponents who used spears and polearms.
The most notable fight he had with a long-range weapon was within the Ancient Dragon City when he had to fight many experts.
