Chapter 339: Chapter 339: Promotion to Great Sword Master

Someone is offering 500,000 taels for free, as long as you win, you can earn another 500,000 taels. If Chu Feng doesn’t accept now, he really is a fool.

Whether it’s to enhance cultivation or to repair the damaged Demon Slaying Sword, a large amount of silver is required.

Ever since obtaining the Demon Slaying Sword, Chu Feng tried using the Sky-reaching Sword Cultivation Skill to nourish it.

He discovered that the damage to the Demon Slaying Sword was even more severe than he imagined.

If he doesn’t repair it, not only will the power of the Demon Slaying Sword not be fully utilized, but its damage could worsen and it might even be completely ruined.

This isn’t a trivial matter.

Having risked numerous dangers and narrowly escaped death to obtain this Heavenly Divine Weapon, Chu Feng absolutely wouldn’t want to see it ruined.

Besides, that Ancient Demon has escaped and will sooner or later seek vengeance against Chu Feng.

This Demon Slaying Sword is the only thing that can restrain it, and if it’s destroyed, Chu Feng would be the one to die.

With Qiu Tai being such an easy mark providing a hefty sum of silver, it’s enough for Chu Feng to find a way to repair the Demon Slaying Sword. And repairing such a Heavenly Divine Weapon will undoubtedly cost a fortune.

Chu Feng immediately accepted the 500,000 silver note with a smiling face, and after verifying it was genuine, he happily put it in his pocket.

"Alright, I accept this fight!"

True to his word, once Chu Feng took the money, he did not decline further and readily accepted Qiu Tai’s challenge. His eyes couldn’t help but covet the remaining 500,000 taels in Qiu Tai’s hand.

This fat pig really is dripping with fat.

Just casually slicing it yields 500,000 silver taels.

He needs to find a way to get his hands on the remaining 500,000 taels as well.

Once Chu Feng agreed to Qiu Tai’s request for a duel, Zang Jianfeng became anxious.

"Wait a moment, before this, I also want a battle with Chu Feng!" Zang Jianfeng was well aware of Qiu Tai’s strength.

If he lets Qiu Tai take the first move, that Heavenly Divine Weapon is most likely to be snatched away by Qiu Tai.

Because, with Chu Feng’s low cultivation, he wouldn’t last half a move against Qiu Tai. He would be utterly outclassed.

The sword, once defeated, would surely change hands.

"You?" Chu Feng couldn’t help but reveal a meaningful mocking smile; he had figured it out. Each of these people, preying on the weaker, was merely eyeing the treasure sword in his hands.

"As long as you agree, I’m willing to transfer all my 10,000 merits to you!"

Though Zang Jianfeng is also a True Disciple, his personal wealth is incomparable to that of Qiu Tai.

Not to say he’s flat broke, but he’s certainly not well-off.

A point of merit is equivalent to ten taels of silver, hence 10,000 merits is 100,000 taels.

Earning a full 10,000 merits is truly not easy. If it’s an ordinary disciple, it might take over a hundred years, or even longer.

With Zang Jianfeng’s abilities, gathering 10,000 merits might take three to five years, sufficient time.

"Hmm, 10,000 merits seem a bit too little! Qiu Tai gave me 500,000 and promised an additional 500,000, making it a million in total." Chu Feng displayed disdain, truly looking down on Zang Jianfeng.

Apart from being a bit of a flashy pest, in Chu Feng’s eyes, he had no redeeming qualities.

In the words of modern people, he is like a flashy pillowcase – nice on the outside, but filled with straw inside.

"Damn it, this worthless trash actually dares to openly look down on me!" Enraged, Zang Jianfeng was determined to possess the Heavenly Divine Weapon.

Clenching his teeth, he decided to go all out.

"20,000 merits, that’s all I have. If you don’t agree, then forget it." Zang Jianfeng initially wanted to keep 10,000 merits for exchanging the needed cultivation resources.

After all, reaching the Sword Saint level requires more, and more expensive, cultivation resources.

Exchanging for merits is quite a good deal.

"Seeing how stubborn you are, begging me for a competition, it would seem a bit rude if I don’t accept. Fine, I agree, give me the merits. Let’s do this in front of the Law Enforcement Elder, to make it official."

Chu Feng was truly overjoyed.

He didn’t expect these two fools, one after another, begging to compete with him, sparing no cost.

With these twenty thousand merits, not only can he get the Asura Swordsmanship from the Sword Pavilion, but he can also convert the remaining fifteen thousand into the cultivation resources he needs.

This is a very cost-effective deal.

Dealing with Zang Jianfeng is much easier than dealing with Qiu Tai.

"I’ll go and get it notarized right away!" Zang Jianfeng, in the sect, still has quite an influence.

Not only is he a True Disciple, but he’s also at the Sword Saint Level. Many Elders give him some face.

Qiu Tai, for some reason, did not stop this.

Chu Feng, without any hesitation, sat down in the center of the arena to cultivate. After swallowing those nine Fake Sword Veins, the Sword Qi inside his Nine Yang Sword Veins was extremely intense.

Right now, it is the perfect moment for an in-battle breakthrough, to enhance his cultivation to the Great Sword Master Realm.

You could see nine streams of red Sword Qi continuously rushing inside Chu Feng’s body, then twisting like ropes, merging into one.

"What is Chu Feng trying to do? Is he attempting to break through to the Great Sword Master Realm?"

Shouts of astonishment rose from below the stage; a few individuals with weaker hearts felt like they couldn’t bear it.

Because Chu Feng let everyone witness what was called a comeback, what was called a miracle? Now, he was about to create another miracle.

In front of everyone, right on the stage, he was making a breakthrough to the Great Sword Master Realm.

Breaking through to the Great Sword Master Realm wasn’t as easy as imagined. Chu Feng tried multiple times but all ended in failure. According to his original plan, once the nine streams of Sword Qi merged, they would have condensed into sword light.

It seems that he had overestimated himself.

"Disciple, the concentration of your Sword Qi is already sufficient. But to condense sword light, you cannot rely on brute force."

"In all things in the world, each has its core. Humans have their souls and are thus called the spirits of all things. Trees have their heartwood, which is the hardest part of the wood. Sword light is the same."

"You need to first determine a primary Sword Qi, and then use it as the core, gradually incorporating the other Sword Qi into it. Also, clear out the impurities, and naturally, everything will fall into place."

Elder Shoumei’s understanding and insights into the Sword Dao absolutely qualify him as a grandmaster level.

With him guiding Chu Feng on the side, pointing out the essentials.

Chu Feng soon saw results.

He felt that he really wasted his previous life. Everything depended on using Elixirs, which resulted in his ignorance towards the nuances and advanced knowledge of Sword Dao cultivation.

For instance, breaking through to the Great Sword Master Realm.

In his past life, swallowing a bottle of Radiance Transformation Elixir, he resolved it directly and smoothly condensed the sword light.

However, the sword light condensed in that manner definitely had lower combat power.

This way, relying on his own efforts to cultivate sword light results in a more solid and sharper sword light. The combat power is also much fiercer.

"Hiss!"

A faint but very fine red sword light appeared at the tip of Chu Feng’s Demon Slaying Sword.

"Success!"

Elder Shoumei and Han Xiaoying were extremely excited, their faces showing ecstatic joy. The cheers below the stage were thunderous. Zang Jianfeng, who had just transferred the merits to Chu Feng’s name, suddenly had his face darken.

"Damn it, I’ve been tricked by this Chu Feng!"
