Boom! A great ripping sound could be heard as air was shattered by the collision of two wind blades. Shu Yidan's blade technique and the man's sword technique, despite being different had the same core.
No, seeing the edge of the man's sword flash icy blue, Shu Yidan realized the man was actually using blade technique with his sword, to fairly compete with him.
"Azurewind Sky Seizing Seven Blades. That was the first blade, Slashing Wind. I used it with a sword, and you used it with a blade. Yet why is my usage of the technique better than yours?" The man asked, as if speaking to himself.
"Maybe because you are a Nascent Soul and have cultivated this technique for more than 5 years?" Shu Yidan's tone didn't have a hint of sarcasm.
"…That's right. I learnt this blade technique from master 300 years ago, and even if I have given up on the blade, my memory is quite good." Saying this, the tip of the man's sword flashed light blue.
Shu Yidan's blade tip flashed a deep azure. With a single motion, the two of them thrust their blades at each other.
"Second Blade: Piercing Wind." The man said, before a giant finger of wind appeared to strike Shu Yidan down. Shu Yidan himself summoned his own wind finger, and both of them clashed with no victor.
"The essence of our two blade techniques is the same. The power of our two blade techniques is the same. Everything else is completely different… but if Master Azurewind was here, he would have taken you as a disciple on the spot." There was a nostalgic smile on the man's face.
"I would certainly have accepted… but as the current 8th Generation Sect Master's disciple, I don't think I lose out in any case." Hearing this from Shu Yidan, the man smiled. "Anyway, this Second Blade Piercing Wind had the essence of a finger technique. The First Blade Slashing Wind had the essence of the Wind Blade spell. Why is every technique lacking blade intent?"
"Do you know who the 7th Generation Sect Master, Azurewind was? He began as an ordinary martial artist of the Jianghu called Feng Yique. He trained in finger techniques as a martial artist, and when he joined the Heavenly Wind Sect, began training in the Wind Blade spell. The first and second blade techniques are in remembrance of his youth." The man's explanation was concise.
Shu Yidan nodded, accepting the information. The man struck out with the weighty middle of the sword. Shu Yidan struck out with the same stance.
"Third Blade: Shattering Wind!" The man spelled out the name of the technique with his strike. This blade technique was a mighty azure pillar of wind that tyrannically struck, causing the air to strike like a cannon. Shu Yidan's pillar of wind was completely the same as the man's pillar of wind, yet the clash of the pillars cancelled both out without a victor.
"Let me guess, that was a staff technique, huh? Foundation Establishment Staff Technique, Wind Shattering Vajra Staff?" Shu Yidan's sentence caused the man to nod in surprise.
"Fourth Blade, Bladelight Wind! You can guess this technique's source!" Saying this, the man struck out in an instant, and what seemed like a hurricane struck out with an ultrasonic sound!
"Golden Core Blade Technique, Azure Dragon Lustrous Descent!" Screaming this, Shu Yidan flicked his sword and a dragon-shaped wind hurricane left his sword with the roar of an Azure Dragon! In the clash of blade techniques, Shu Yidan's blade decisively won and the man was forced to take three steps back!
"You pushed me back… I didn't expect not training blade techniques for 250 years would leave me disadvantaged against a Golden Core who hasn't even comprehended blade intent…" With a wry smile, the man took a step forward.
"So tell me more… Why did Sect Master Azurewind train in the staff in Foundation Building and the blade in Golden Core?" Shu Yidan asked.
"How should I know what that man thought? As a Foundation Establishment, he slaughtered a Golden Core monk of Joyous Union Buddhist Temple and seized the staff technique from him. As a Golden Core, he had a lucky chance and gained the blade technique from a ruin. He chanced on those techniques and thus trained them. He did not need to be limited by things like talent and suitability." The man's words suddenly lost nostalgia, having a hint of resentment.
"Anyway, prepare yourself! Fifth Blade, Lancet Wind!" The man thrust out his sword once more, using the blade technique of his master, the 7th Generation Sect Master.
But now, his momentum and the wind domain surrounding him rose, showing his boundless strength, completely breaking out of the constraints of the blade technique.
"Combining spear and sword together? Seriously?!" Shu Yidan couldn't help his complaint as his blade thrust out as well.
This time, the winds between the man and Shu Yidan did not change. But Shu Yidan madly thrust out his blade, as if he had gone crazy. Even as he madly swung his blade, he unsteadily took five steps back and finally spat out blood.
"Your sword domain cultivation is splendid, but wasn't this a contest of Azurewind's blade technique? But seriously, using that level of domain against me?! That sword intent can even finish off Nascent Souls if used appropriately!" Shu Yidan couldn't help his accusation.
"You are mistaken. Master Azurewind's Fifth Blade, Lancet Wind is a fusion of sword and spear technique. As it is founded on his sword technique and I cultivate sword technique, naturally I can suppress you with it." The hint of smugness in the man's voice made Shu Yidan want to bite him.
"Anyway, we still have two moves to exchange!" The Sect Master happily looked at his beaten disciple. "How long are you gonna take to recover?"
Shu Yidan paced his breath and looked at his shameless master, before raising his hand. The blade in his hand fell apart, turning into chunks of metal scrap.
"Seriously, your blade technique is so skillful yet your blade itself is so terrible…" The Sect Master looked at the sorry remnants of Shu Yidan's best blade before sighing. "We'll have to pause our exchange of pointers! Don't worry, I'll give you appropriate compensation for that blade."
Watching the man who had carefully destroyed his blade to bring the end to their battle, all so Shu Yidan could keep his 'face' he didn't know what to think.

Seeing this, Shu Yidan knew that he had yet to exchange two blows with the Sect Master. Yet how was the quest complete?
No matter, good fortune was always good. Thinking this, Shu Yidan respectfully bowed to the Sect Master.
