Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer Chapter 280: Swordsmanship Inheritance

The last inheritance. The swordsmans.h.i.+p inheritance.

The remaining three candidates almost lost all their composure as Sam swept through all the three inheritances.

They don't have many hopes in getting this one away from his hands and provided that they are not even swordsmen, to begin with. They are now thinking about why they even came over to this place.

They don't have anything to do with the Murali and his expertise at all. They don't have any of the abilities. All they came here is because of their greed, rather the greed of their superiors who forced them to come here.

Now they are regretting this. They could have at least let the people who are experts in these fields to come here and they could have had a shot.

Now, all they can do is being the backdrop and enhance Sam's image.

There are feeling extremely down.

But Sam is not caring about anything they are thinking. He is very much satisfied with what he got. Even the reward from the formation tower is quite amusing.

It is a formation simulation disc.

On this disc, one can mark the nodes and key points of a large- scale formation in a smaller scale, so that they can see if the formation really works or not.

This helps the people who research their formations and see if their theories are of any technical and practical feasibility.

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

Of course, he is most impressed by the experiences he got as a present.

As for the fourth inheritance, even though he is not interested in any battle techniques he might possibly encounter, he is looking forward to the treasure he will get as a present.

As far he was concerned the weapons he encountered all this while didn't impress him much, he did see some impressive craftsmans.h.i.+p, but he didn't see anything that impressed him to the extent that he wanted to possess it.

From the pattern of presents he got from three inheritances, Sam guessed the next present to be a sword and he is looking forward to a sword used by the person who shook the whole planet in his prime.

Sam took the first step confidently and this time, it is to copy a technique. It is the most basic one of all. The sword-draw.

He looked at the posture, the energy flow the grip strength, the hand position. He was impressed by the silhouette which has showcased the move.

It is 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 the moves are too basic. Any person who is familiar with the sword would know every move.

After five moves though, the sixth block is not to copy a move, rather he has to control his sword aura.

Until the fifth test, even the remaining candidates were able to pa.s.s after a few tries, but from here on there is no such thing as an easy pa.s.s.

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

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

So, the sixth test is that he has to resonate with his sword aura to the aura that is present on that block.

Sam closed his eyes and started relaxing. He made sure that his mind and body are in complete unison and in his mind, there is only one thing sword.

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

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

A block appeared under his feet. The seventh block.

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

He started countering, His breath became sharper, he could feel the clash between two sword auras and soon he confidently took the next step. Meanwhile, the remaining candidates all struck at the sixth block.

The tests in this inheritance are quite simple. They are straight forward and simple in nature. All Murali tested are the basics and the consistency of the practice with the basic moves and the sword aura.

This is the most straight forward way to validate a person's swordsmans.h.i.+p.

Sam stood on the eighth block for an hour, because this time the sword aura on that block is not steady, rather it is fluctuating. It is like a wave of sword aura and at this Sam was also stumped. He never expected or thought that Sword aura can be manipulated like that.

He never even tried this.

But now that a situation arrived, he started doing the unknown.

And soon enough, he was surprised by the reaction. He could feel that the amount of mental strength required for this is quite high and for a normal cultivator of his level, it would be quite taxing.

Sam carefully tried to get a hang of the frequency of the fluctuation and in another half-an-hour, he was able to do so.

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

There are two sword auras instead of one. He has to divide his sword aura into two and match two different frequencies at the same time. This is even more difficult than the previous test.

Sam was completely stumped. He can multi-task, but he never knew that the sword aura can even be divided into two.

He didn't know how to proceed and it even took more than an hour just to make sense on how to proceed further in this situation.

He started thinking of two things at a time for a start and slowly started working his way upwards.

He imagined himself to be two ent.i.ties, two bodies altogether, and slowly converted himself to be two swords. He is trying to use the same method he used on the sixth block to create the sword aura.

Sam is really having a hard time. If not for his high mental strength he would have lost him mind by now.

After more than three hours of exasperated struggle, he was finally able to deal with the problem. Two sword auras at different frequencies.

He was thinking about how difficult the tenth test would be and he almost lost confidence. The tenth test is creating two sword auras and fluctuating both of them between two different limits.

Sam almost wanted to go crazy. The tests are simple and straight forward, he couldn't be happier of this aspect in the first three inheritances, but now, he was completely stumped.

He is a master of multiple weapons as he practically lived with them in his previous life. But he never practiced a weapon to this extent the only exception being his claws. But he doesn't want to use his claws too much.

They need a much larger and worthier target to be worn. He loves them like his second life. That's why, he wouldn't wear them easily and only does so in case of creating a ma.s.sacre, battling a worthy opponent, or accomplis.h.i.+ng a major mission.

Sam started concentrating. No matter what, he has to see the reward 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 fluctuating them. The problem is that two of them are completely in sync. Sam would have appreciated this great if it was before, but now it is a great nuisance as he doesn't want them to be in sync.

They both have to fluctuate in different frequencies and limits altogether.

Since he couldn't do that at the same time, he divided the work. First, he kept the two sword auras active and made on of them stationary fluctuating only one of them. Then slowly, he started fluctuating another one, with very slight variations, and soon, he was able to reach the goal and with flash, he was able to cross the tenth test.

This time, though there is not just a simple flash of the sphere, there is a holographic projection of Murali in the air. It peered down at Sam and said.

"Congratulations on clearing the sword inheritance. Before you gain the treasure, I have to tell you something.

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

This is the greatest sword, I ever held in my possession, but I was never able to wield it. To be more precise, I didn't dare to wield it.

Because it is a cursed weapon.

I have to warn you, that take that sword only if you have the utmost confidence that you can wield it, otherwise, you wouldn't be able to bear the consequences.

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

With those words, the holographic projection disappeared. Sam noticed his surroundings and saw that the rest of them are also listening to Murali's words.

He frowned at this. And after some thought, he came to a realization.

He is trying to force the person whoever obtained the treasure to leave the sword here. The Cursed weapons are not ordinary, only a select few can deal with them.

But if it is really that bad, Murali might have not placed it in the first place, but there might be another possible explanation that there might be a possibility that a candidate who is really worthy of this sword might come.

He couldn't help but shake his head.
