After gaining Duan Jian’s acknowledgment, the assessment task in Song Jian’s task bar finally showed “completed”. It seemed that whether the task was completed or not was ultimately up to Duan Jian.

System: You’ve completed the Sword Controller Duan Jian’s test. Your favorability with Sword Controller Duan Jian has greatly increased. Duan Jian is now sharing the information about the profession “Sword Controller” with you.

Upon receiving the system’s notification, Song Jian’s vision blurred, and next moment, he and Duan Jian were in the Explanation Space.

“The Sword Controller is a legendary profession with the ultimate goal of becoming a Sword Immortal,” Duan Jian waved his hand and a man clad in black and holding a long sword appeared before Song Jian.

“Sword Immortal?” Song Jian’s eyes lit up. He was always looking for a profession with the goal of becoming a Sword Immortal, and he already possessed two inherited skills of the Sword Immortal.

“Right, a Sword Controller who does not desire to become a Sword Immortal is not a qualified Sword Controller.” Duan Jian nodded and pointed to the black-clad man in front of Song Jian, “Take a good look at the power of this profession. If you can become a Sword Controller in the future, these are the skills that you will need to master—watch closely!”

On the screen, the black-clad man holding the long sword started to demonstrate an array of powerful sword techniques—the Wave Treading Art, Yangguan Triple Stacking, Mount Tai Eighteen Bends, Flying Swallow Nine Linked Rings…

Countless monsters swarmed towards the black-clad man whose long sword was continuously waving, flashing like a ball of silver light around his body. Any monster that touched this silver sword light shattered and could not get close at all.

Swooosh Swooosh Swooosh-

Over a hundred archers in the distance drew their bows and shot a rain of arrows at the black-clad man. The cover-the-sky arrow shower gave one no chance to dodge. In the real world, even someone of high strength would find it impossible to survive such an arrow storm!

Arrow Breaking Style!

The long sword in the black-clad man’s hand suddenly changed. In an instant, he swung his sword to create countless shadows that deflected dozens of arrows flying towards him, causing them to change direction and shoot towards the surrounding area. Suddenly, a large number of monsters were pierced by the arrows.

Boom Boom Boom-

Fireballs, ice bullets, all kinds of magic attacks were shot at the black-clad man.

Spell Breaking Style!

In Song Jian’s surprised gaze, all the magic shot at the black-clad man was deflected by his sword, resulting in a series of loud explosions around the black-clad man.

“This is, this is too outrageous, how could…” Song Jian couldn’t help but look over at Duan Jian.

Although Song Jian knew that in the Explanation Space, many instructors would greatly amplify the power of their own profession to arouse trainees’ enthusiasm to the point where they couldn’t wait to switch to that profession right away.

But the most basic principle must still be adhered to: Exaggeration is acceptable but outright fabrication absolutely cannot be allowed.

Imagine, for instance, if the black-clad man on the screen was able to deflect various types of magic with his sword—that must mean he really can do so.

“Hmph, the power of a Sword Controller is not something you can gauge now. Keep watching!” Duan Jian snorted coldly, the corner of his mouth lifting slightly as he spoke nonchalantly.

Later, the black-clad man on the screen seemed to transform into a God Slayer. No—he became a Death God. With a several-meter-long sword light from his long sword, he swept across all the monsters around him, shedding blood and creating rivers of it. The most remarkable thing was that he was finally able to control the sword with qi, and he could manipulate the long sword, killing his enemies within a radius of about three meters around his body as if he were cutting melons and chopping vegetables.

“Phew- controlling the sword with qi is the most profound sword skill that a Sword Controller can master. Anything beyond it is in another realm!” Duan Jian took a deep breath, waved his hand, and the space around them crumbled, and they returned to the rooftop.

“Controlling the sword with qi, huh?” Song Jian mumbled to himself, glancing at the small silver metallic ball slowly rotating around Duan Jian.

“If you decide to become a Sword Controller, you can come to me, and 1 will give you a set of sword techniques as a gift for our first meeting,” Duan Jian glanced at Song Jian and waved his hand, “Alright, you can leave now. Remember, only with a brave heart and unyielding will, can you go farther and farther on the path of becoming a Sword Controller.”

System: You have found a combat profession instructor and learned about the profession “Sword Controller”. Main quest completed 8/10.

Song Jian gave Duan Jian a bow, transformed into a cloud of black smoke, and flew back to his Manor Castle.

With most of his main quest completed, Song Jian’s focus was no longer on finding combat profession instructors, but on choosing a profession. Among the eight professions he had come across, the Sword Controller had the most potential.

“Sword Immortal!” Song Jian’s eyes were full of longing. The Sword Controller, like the Dragon Hunter, was a legendary profession. It had a naturally higher starting point than other professions—and what’s more—the goal of the Sword Controller was to become a Sword Immortal.

“If the Sword Controller’s goal is to become a Sword Immortal, then does that mean that the goal of all other professions that use the sword as a weapon is also to become a Sword Immortal?” A thought suddenly occurred to Song Jian, “Could it be that the ten unique professions are the common goals of all professionals?”

Think about it, among the thousands and thousands of professionals, only ten individuals could become the unique ones. Just thinking about it made him realize how difficult it was. However, Song Jian now had two inherited skills from the Sword Immortal profession. He was already one big step ahead of other players.

Back at the Manor Castle, there were already seven or eight NPCs under the supervision of the steward, George, who were busy non-stop—the mill and livestock pen had been established. Next to them was a blacksmith’s shop with a furnace burning brightly, and in front of it was a building under construction.

Song Jian didn’t pay too close of attention. He had given the construction of the manor over to steward George, basically putting the game on autopilot. As long as there were sufficient materials, construction of the necessary buildings in the manor would continue.

The black dragon egg now stood over half a person tall. Its body was covered with a layer of fine black scales, and two protrusions on its head had risen significantly. It seemed that they would soon break open to form two dragon horns.

“It’s leveled up to level five already?” There was a look of surprise on Song Jian’s face. In only seventeen or eighteen hours, the black dragon had leveled up from level two to level five. As an elite boss, its leveling experience was much greater than that of ordinary monsters.

The black dragon was hunting monsters. When it saw Song Jian return, it just turned its head and gave him a glance, then indifferently turned back, continued breathing fire, and turned the mutated zombies into ashes.

If Song Jian could check the intimacy between him and the black dragon, he would find that the original friendly intimacy had rapidly declined to indifference.

Looking at the black dragon with vitality points already exceeding one thousand, Song Jian’s brow furrowed.

“It cannot continue like this unchecked, otherwise it’ll be like raising a tiger for trouble…” Song Jian looked at the black dragon and couldn’t help but feel a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
