Chapter 94: The Most Famous Sword Technique (Please Subscribe! Please Vote!)

After practicing the Holy Dragon Sword Technique, Li Ge now has a great interest in S-class sword techniques.

In a world where there are no dungeons to explore, if Li Ge wants to grow as rapidly as before, practicing sword techniques has become a necessary thing to do.

Otherwise, if Li Ge wants to grow quickly, he would have to go to the battlefield, where there would be many enemies for him to defeat.

This made Li Ge realize that perhaps, when he travels to other dimensions in the future, he might encounter similar situations.

Not every world is like the Earthbound World, where there are a large number of monsters that threaten humanity for him to defeat.

If he travels to more peaceful worlds in the future, where there are not enough enemies to defeat, Li Ge's growth will stagnate.

This must be avoided.

Therefore, Li Ge believes that his top priority now is to find a sword technique to practice, ensuring that his growth does not stagnate.

As long as he has a sword technique to practice, no matter which world he travels to in the future, he won't have to worry about his growth coming to a halt.

Among the many sword techniques, the one that allows for the fastest growth after practice is undoubtedly the S-class sword technique.

Thus, Li Ge decided to look for an S-class sword technique to practice.

Originally, the Holy Dragon Sword Technique was entirely suitable for Li Ge, but unfortunately, this technique lacks the most important breathing method. Although Li Ge plans to continue practicing the sword skills part, for his future growth, he still needs to find a complete S-class sword technique to practice.

In this situation, Li Ge wondered if he could find an S-class sword technique to practice at the Royal Market.

However, the reality proved that even in this high-end market, which is only open to nobles and wealthy merchants, it is still very difficult to buy an S-class sword technique.

"Auction?"

Li Ge thought for a moment and asked the shop owner.

"When is the next auction?"

The Royal Market holds an auction at regular intervals, which many people know.

The auction is organized by the supporters behind the Royal Market. The items that appear at the auction are generally precious things that are not available on the market, and sometimes even rare treasures that are rarely seen in the world, attracting the competition of various noble families.

It is said that during the auction, even dukes and members of the royal family might attend.

Since the shop owner said that S-class sword techniques only appear at auctions, Li Ge naturally wanted to take a look.

However—

"Not every auction will have an S-class sword technique."

Ain suddenly spoke without any warning.

"Is that so?"

Li Ge was taken aback.

"Yes," Ian nodded seriously and said, "S-class sword techniques are not numerous, and most of them are in the hands of the royal families and major noble families of various countries. Some particularly powerful S-class sword techniques are even considered important legacies by these royal families and major noble families, such as the War King Sword Technique of the Ginass Kingdom's royal family."

The War King Sword Technique is the legacy sword technique of the Ginass Kingdom's royal family, which can be practiced to stimulate mental power, allowing one to use mental power to fight enemies.

This sword technique is very powerful, much stronger than ordinary S-class sword techniques. The fact that the Ginass Kingdom's royal family has passed it down as a legacy proves that this sword technique indeed has its unique qualities.

S-class sword techniques that are considered important legacies by royal family members or descendants of major noble families are usually more powerful than ordinary S-class sword techniques.

However, this does not mean that other S-class sword techniques are inferior.

Ordinary small noble families do not have the ability to pass down an S-class sword technique as a legacy. Only royal families and major noble families have the legacy of S-class sword techniques or multiple S-class sword techniques as backup.

After all, sword techniques sometimes also test one's suitability, and not everyone is suitable for practice.

The Holy Dragon Sword Technique is a case in point. Not only is it extremely difficult to practice, but it also requires a vast amount of innate magic power, with very strict conditions. Even if someone wants to pass it down, it is not certain that they can find someone suitable to practice it.

The same applies to the S-class sword techniques passed down by the royal families and major noble families of various countries, which may not be suitable for all descendants.

At such times, whether there are other S-class sword techniques available for practice within the family becomes a very important matter.

If not, it might lead to many descendants who do not meet the practice conditions of the legacy sword technique being wasted, and they might end up practicing only high-level sword techniques, making it difficult for them to achieve anything in their lives.

For this reason, the royal families and major noble families of various countries have the habit of collecting S-class sword techniques. Whenever an S-class sword technique appears, they will compete to obtain it, so that it can be passed down to suitable descendants.

As a result, S-class sword techniques are monopolized by the royal families and major noble families, and the number of S-class sword techniques that are available outside is pitifully small. Those who have S-class sword techniques in their families will not easily put them up for sale, as they are considered very precious.

"If you want to obtain an S-class sword technique at an auction, it might really depend on luck."

"Perhaps someone has obtained an S-class sword technique by chance and, due to a lack of money or personal need, has brought it here to auction."

"Perhaps a noble family has fallen and has to auction off the S-class sword technique in their collection to survive."

The shop owner explained to Li Ge.

"Such situations are not common, so even at the Royal Market's auctions, it is not certain that an S-class sword technique will be auctioned off within a few years. Sometimes, it might take decades or even several decades before an S-class sword technique appears at an auction."

In other words, Li Ge's plan to obtain an S-class sword technique from an auction has also failed.

"This is very troublesome."

Li Ge rubbed his temples, and Ain and Ian, standing behind him, fell into silence.

Just as Li Ge was at a loss, the shop owner seemed to think of something and hesitated.

"Our shop has a damaged S-class sword technique. Would you like to see it?"

The shop owner said.

"A damaged S-class sword technique?" Li Ge perked up and said, "Bring it out, I'll take a look."

The shop owner nodded and quickly ran into the shop, bringing out a sword technique book.

"Here it is."

The shop owner handed the sword technique book to Li Ge.

Li Ge took it and looked at the title on the cover.

At this sight, Li Ge's eyes widened.

Clearly written on the cover of the sword technique book was a name—Holy Dragon Sword Technique.

Yes, that's right.

It was the Holy Dragon Sword Technique that Li Ge knew.

"What, what's going on?"

Li Ge was stunned.

On the contrary, Ain and Ian, perhaps out of interest, leaned over to take a look and both showed expressions of realization.

"Is this the S-class sword technique?"

"No wonder, the S-class sword technique that would appear in the shop is probably only this one."

The female knight partner said.

"Do you know this sword technique?"

Li Ge, who had recovered, looked at Ain and Ian.

"Yes."

Ain gave a concise answer.

"This is the S-class sword technique created by the strongest sword saint of four hundred years ago, the Dragon Sword Saint Ephas Tussanlo." Ian said, "This sword technique is very famous, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the most famous sword technique on the continent."

What does that mean?

Li Ge was confused.

"Don't you know?" Ian, seeing Li Ge's puzzled expression, said in surprise, "This Holy Dragon Sword Technique once caused a massive battle four hundred years ago. Several sword saints died in that battle, and countless forces fought to the point of bloodshed, forming deep enmities that have yet to be resolved, and they are still fighting to the death."

This is a well-documented event in history books, and many people know about it.

Li Ge didn't know because the original owner of his body didn't care about history and came from a rural area, so he had little knowledge.

Only after hearing Ian's explanation did Li Ge finally understand why the Holy Dragon Sword Technique is the most famous sword technique on the continent.

First, because it is very powerful.

Second, because the battle it caused four hundred years ago had a significant impact on the world.

Thanks to this, Li Ge also understood why the Holy Dragon Sword Technique is damaged.

It's not because Yuli removed the breathing method and stored it separately, but because of the battle four hundred years ago.

"Four hundred years ago, after the strongest sword saint died, his Holy Dragon Sword Technique, due to its immense power, attracted many covetous people to fight over it."

"The competition was intense, with many forces from various countries on the continent and even several sword saints getting involved."

"Many people died, and the forces involved formed deep enmities. The Holy Dragon Sword Technique was also damaged in the chaotic battle, with the most important breathing method being destroyed, leaving only the sword skills to be passed down."

Ian told Li Ge this.

"Four hundred years later, the sword skills part of the Holy Dragon Sword Technique has been widely spread. Not only in the capital Yeluv, but even in some larger cities, there are people who have the damaged version of it."

Coincidentally, Yuli's family library had a damaged version of this sword technique, which Li Ge had seen.

Li Ge had completely misunderstood. This sword technique was not deliberately left for him to practice by Yuli, but was just a damaged version stored there.

There are many such damaged versions, and this shop has some as well.

Yuli did indeed plan to see if Li Ge wanted to switch to practicing sword techniques, but she was not at the level where she could casually give him an S-class sword technique to practice.

"The Franzel family was once a fallen noble family and only recently rose again under the leadership of the young lady. The family does not have an S-class sword technique legacy."

Ian told Li Ge.

"If Mr. Li Ge wants to practice an S-class sword technique, it won't be that simple."

These words made Li Ge's heart sink.

It seems that this matter is indeed very troublesome.
