Reverse War Surpass Immortal

He had been preoccupied with his own cultivation against time, rarely caring about the Ye siblings, thinking they were just ordinary children from a common family. Little did he realize, their true identities were anything but ordinary.

Duan Gujin had crossed hands with some from the Demon Sect of Fallen Heaven Valley before, and he recognized the Unrivaled Sword Technique.

"So what about your sister? Does she also know the Unrivaled Sword Technique?"

Duan Gujin asked.

"My sister doesn't know this swordsmanship. My father said that it isn't suitable for her to learn this technique," Ye Tang replied.

"Then call your sister in. I have something to ask her!" Duan Gujin said.

"Alright!"

Ye Tang immediately went to invite his sister.

Soon, Duan Gujin saw Ye Manxiang. He got straight to the point and directly asked her if her father ever mentioned where the Ye family came from.

Ye Manxiang pondered for a moment then shook her head, "My dad never told me where he came from; we've been living here since we were young! This here is our home!"

A glint flashed in Duan Gujin's eyes, and he requested Ye Manxiang to demonstrate all the skills she had learned.

However, to Duan Gujin's disappointment, the skills Ye Manxiang demonstrated were very ordinary and lacked any particular uniqueness.

"Can you perform your brother's Unrivaled Sword Technique?"

Duan Gujin asked directly.

"No! My father told me not to cultivate the Unrivaled Sword Technique, saying it wasn't suited for women!" Ye Manxiang explained.

"Oh, is that so?"

Duan Gujin pondered for a moment, then as if understanding something, he said.

"I remember now, I've encountered many people from Fallen Heaven Valley, and indeed, none of the women seemed to know the Unrivaled Sword Technique!"

Duan Gujin gave this some serious thought, and he felt that there was a high possibility that this was the secret hidden within the Ye siblings.

"What type of Martial Skills do you wish to learn?" Duan Gujin asked.

"I am more interested in learning Martial Skills related to Hidden Weapons!" Ye Manxiang replied.

"Hidden Weapons? That's quite an unconventional path!"

Duan Gujin did not expect Ye Manxiang to want to learn about Hidden Weapons. He thought frantically and realized that he only knew some basic methods of using Hidden Weapons, but did not possess specialized Martial Skills for using Hidden Weapons to assassinate enemies.

The reason why Hidden Weapons had not become mainstream was that they require more attention to the harmonization of the weapon with one's Primordial Power.

Some cultivators, despite having considerable skill and high Cultivation, if without a good Hidden Weapon, their thrown weapons are easily intercepted by the enemy.

Once intercepted, the cultivator has no choice but to flee.

Duan Gujin's eyes flickered and he said, "Ye Manxiang, I must tell you, I don't have specialized Hidden Weapon Martial Skills. Although using Hidden Weapons, especially poisoned ones, can easily eliminate an enemy, ordinary Hidden Weapons are unlikely to break through an enemy's defense unless you are using some very special weapons. The best way to break an enemy's defenses is to use Dark Weapons such as swords or sabers!"

He saw through Ye Manxiang's intentions and seriously warned her.

"If you truly wish to cultivate Hidden Weapon Martial Skills, unless your cultivation is far superior to your enemy, you could easily defeat them. But if your enemy is powerful, attacking them with Hidden Weapons, you must be rather lucky to succeed. If your enemy isn't strong, you could prevail with ordinary measures, so why bother painstakingly learning about Hidden Weapons? Isn't that right? The assassins you see always wait for an opportunity to strike. If you wish to genuinely improve your Combat Power, it's best to cultivate skills in swords or sabers!"

"Oh, then what Martial Skills do you think I'm suited to?"

Ye Manxiang asked.

"Just practice your Skills here. Show me the Skills you are most proficient in!"

Duan Gujin suggested.

"Okay!"

With her mind spinning, Ye Manxiang then hastily began to practice all the Skills she was familiar with on the ground.

After she had performed the exercises, Duan Gujin slightly furrowed his brow; he noticed that Ye Manxiang's overall talents were mediocre and, in terms of talent and innate gift, she was far from matching her younger brother Ye Tang.

"Her heart is set on revenge; since her natural talent is insufficient, I'll have her practice swordsmanship instead!"

Duan Gujin thought for a moment and came up with a solution.

Consequently, he had the Ye siblings go back home.

The next day, Ye Manxiang received a volume of martial skills.

When she saw the cover, it read Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers.

"This martial skill's name is so common!" Ye Tang muttered on the side.

"As long as it's a good martial skill, the name doesn't matter!"

Ye Manxiang flipped open the martial skill book and began to examine it meticulously.

After a while, she gasped in astonishment.

Although her natural abilities were limited, she had, after all, learned some specialized martial skills knowledge from her father; she judged that the set of martial skills given to her by Duan Gujin should be of Lower Grade Dark-level.

She had once heard that here in Country Gulai, the finest martial skills were of the Upper-level Dark-level.

And in Country Gulai, there were quite a few families with Middle-level Dark-level martial skills.

Among those families, the Middle-level Dark-level martial skills were treasures of the clan.

And now Duan Gujin had taught her a volume of Lower Grade Dark-level martial skill, she understood in her heart; he had given her a generous gift.

"Sister, what grade is this set of martial skills?"

Ye Tang asked curiously on the side.

"I judge this set as Lower Grade Xuan-level martial skills!" Ye Manxiang replied.

Hearing Ye Manxiang's words, Ye Tang took a sharp intake of breath.

He, too, had studied the classics and knew what a set of Lower Grade Xuan-level martial skill meant.

"Sister, see how good he is to you!"

Ye Tang said with a smile.

"Mm! Little brother, what about you? What martial skills did he teach you?" Ye Manxiang asked.

Ye Tang frowned and said, "He told me I only need to practice my father's Unrivaled Sword Technique, and he mentioned that at the very least, the Unrivaled Sword Technique is an Upper-level Dark-level martial skill. Sister, do you believe what he said?"

"I believe what he said, he has no reason to deceive you!" Ye Manxiang pondered for a while before answering.

"Mm! Sister, why is he so good to us, what exactly is his motive?"

Suddenly, Ye Tang asked.

"That, only he himself knows! Let's not think too much about it!" Ye Manxiang felt a wave of frustration and irritation.

How Duan Gujin truly felt in his heart, she could not fathom.

"If he is coming for sister, then I can understand!" Ye Tang said indifferently.

"He's coming for me, and you understand, what do you mean?" Ye Manxiang asked, puzzled.

"It's very normal for men to be drawn to beautiful women; the fear is if he has ulterior motives!" Ye Tang said.

Ye Manxiang was at a loss for words; her mind raced, but she truly could not decipher what Duan Gujin was thinking.

"Or maybe, as little brother said, if he is indeed coming for me, then that's still manageable! The fear is if he has ulterior motives!"

After dwelling on it for a while, Ye Manxiang felt restless and irritable; she decided to cast aside all troubles and stop thinking about these problems.

Consequently, she went to the courtyard and started practicing outside the courtyard according to the illustrations and text of that martial skill book.
