Signing In At Mount Sword For 100 Years To Become Invincible - Chapter 299

299 Everyone Has Their Specialties

After adapting to this sudden increase in strength, Lin Ran took a deep breath to calm his restless internal energy.

Now that he had just broken through and his realm had yet to stabilize, if he continued to let his internal energy wreak havoc in his body, he might suffer a backfire.

Although the probability of this happening was very low, Lin Ran had worked hard to get to where he was today. Naturally, he had to be careful.

After adjusting his breathing, Lin Ran released his divine sense to investigate the surroundings. He wanted to see if the men in black were alarmed by his breakthrough, but he did not expect to find that the people monitoring him had all left!

!!
Lin Ran was puzzled, but he didn’t think too much about it. He stood up and went to the main hall to see Ye Shixiao and Ye Jin.

“I’m sorry.”

Lin Ran smiled at the two of them. “There was something urgent just now. Did I scare you?”

Ye Jin shook her head with a strange expression. Ye Shixiao waved his hand and gestured for Lin Ran to come over.

Lin Ran quickly walked forward and saw the Yin-Yang Sword and the Ten Miles Dragon Roar on the forging table.

Ye Shixiao pointed at the two swords. “Come and take a look to see if you can tell any difference.”

Lin Ran leaned closer and first sized up the Yin-Yang Sword, but he did not find anything different. However, when he turned to look at the Ten Miles Dragon Roar, his expression changed—

At some point, more than ten holes had appeared on the smooth and sharp blade of the Ten Miles Dragon Roar!

These holes were extremely small. Even if more than ten of them were added together, it was not as big as the crack on the Yin-Yang Sword. Only when one looked at it carelly could one see the holes.

But even so, it was enough to make Lin Ran’s jaw drop!

This was because before this—to be precise, before he “sparred” with Ye Shixiao—he was very sure that the blade of the Ten Miles Dragon Roar was flawless.

In other words, these dozen or so small holes were all caused by the Yin-Yang Sword!

Thinking of this, Lin Ran hurriedly looked at the Yin-Yang Sword and even raised it to his eyes to take a closer look. Apart from the crack made by Liu Hongshan’s Dragon Roar Dagger, the blades on both sides of the Yin-Yang Sword were intact.

Seeing Lin Ran’s reaction, Ye Shixiao knew that he had discovered it. He crossed his arms and said faintly, “I told you that your dual-colored sword is stronger than that broken sword.”

“But… how is this possible?”

That was the sword of the Ten Miles Sword God back then! How could it be weaker than the Yin-Yang Sword he had accidentally found?

“If it were back then, the strength of this sword would definitely be inferior to the broken sword.”

Ye Shixiao pointed at the Yin-Yang Sword and suddenly sighed. “However, over the years, it has been immersed in two powerful forces.”

“Originally, these two forces were enough to destroy it, but they reached a delicate balance. Not only did they not destroy it, but they also caused its material to change.

“This is a process that can’t be replicated. That’s why I said it’s a divine artifact and…”

When it came to swords and sabers, Ye Shixiao could talk non-stop.

Lin Ran looked at Ye Shixiao, who was talking with relish. Apart from feeling amused, he couldn’t help but admire this person.

To be able to explain in such detail, it was enough to prove how accomplished Ye Shixiao was in this aspect.

Ye Shixiao suddenly stopped and looked at Lin Ran. “Why are you looking at me like that? Do you understand what I’m saying?”

“I understand, I understand!”

Lin Ran came back to his senses and nodded repeatedly. He already knew what Ye Shixiao said about the Yin-Yang Sword. He had been through thick and thin with it after all.

Ye Shixiao snorted in disdain and said seriously, “I told you that you don’t know anything about swords!”

This was not the first time Ye Shixiao said that Lin Ran didn’t know anything about swords. This time, instead of feeling displeased, Lin Ran nodded sincerely. “You’re right. I still have a few quick questions. Can I ask you alone?”

Ye Shixiao glanced at Lin Ran and knew that the so-called “quick question” was most likely a lie, but he still nodded. “Follow me!”

With that, Ye Shixiao turned around and went upstairs. Just as Ye Jin was about to follow him, he turned around and instructed, “Jin, stay and watch over the furnace.”

Ye Jin was clearly a little unhappy when she heard that, but she still stayed downstairs obediently.

Lin Ran followed Ye Shixiao upstairs and entered the room in the middle of the second floor.

This room was not small, but in order to treat Ye Shixiao, Ye Jin had sold everything she could sell at home, so the room was empty. No one could tell what it was used for.

As soon as Ye Shixiao entered, he sat on the ground. Then, he looked at Lin Ran and said in a low voice, “Ask.”

“What’s that room for?”

Lin Ran pointed at the room at the end of the corridor and asked. Previously, he thought that the house was on fire and wanted to barge into that room to save him, but he realized that the door of that room was not only locked, but even his divine sense could not enter.

Moreover, before Lin Ran met Ye Jin, he noticed that many families in the Iron City had such a room. It was hard not to be interested in such a phenomenon.

“It’s nothing. It’s just a room for storing materials.”

Ye Shixiao replied casually, clearly not wanting to talk about this topic. “Let’s get down to business. Are you willing to take Jin away from here?”

Lin Ran didn’t know where to start. Seeing that he had taken the initiative to mention it, Lin Ran continued, “I don’t have a problem with it, but you should at least tell me the reason, right? You said that this is a prison. Why?”

“It’s none of your business.”

Ye Shixiao replied coldly, “Take Jin away. I’ll help you reforge the sword. You don’t have to worry about anything else.”

Lin Ran crossed his arms and said nonchalantly, “Then I refuse.”

Ye Shixiao’s expression changed. “What did you say?!”

“I said, I refuse.”

Lin Ran repeated himself and looked around. “I think this city is not bad. Although you’re poor, your skills are superb. As long as you work hard, your life will definitely get better and better.”

“Impossible!”

Ye Shixiao suddenly became excited and glared at Lin Ran. “You don’t know anything!”

“Then let me know!”

Lin Ran’s expression turned serious as he looked at Ye Shixiao with bright eyes. “You said this is a prison. Why?”
