Chapter 2: The Secret Sword Manual

  Watching his junior sister float away, Ye Wen was a bit at a loss for that instant. Although he had long sensed that his junior sister's impression of him might not be very good, he hadn't expected that she harbored such thoughts.

  "Do you want to take over as the leader?" However, what puzzled him was: "Why not just kill me directly or abolish me directly?"

  After some thought, he could only come up with one conclusion: 'This junior sister has not yet lost her mind to the point of madness for a position as sect leader!' Apart from this, he couldn't think of any other reason.

  But now the problem in front of him is more troublesome than his own junior sister staring at the position of the sect leader. If what was said earlier was true, then he and his junior sister are in a state of homelessness.

  The reason for everything is that the original owner of this body was defeated in a martial arts competition and lost the bet, not only can't use their own signboard anymore, but also lost the sect's site passed down through generations to the other party.

  The reason for all this is because their school is called 'Book Mountain Sect!'

  "What the hell, what's with this 'Book Mountain Sect' that's provoking others? This name is neither majestic nor domineering, and it won't offend anyone. Why would such a shoddy name provoke challenges from others?"

  Ye Wen didn't know that this place was called Shu Shan County, and the mountain next to it was also called Shu Shan. When the founder of the Shu Shan Sect first established the sect, this Shu Shan was not a bustling place, and the mountain was very quiet, so he occupied the name of the mountain and established his sect.

  Later, his disciples also made a name for themselves and fought out some fame, so they also secured the reputation of Shushan Sect.

  His juniors were increasingly inferior to their predecessors, and the sect gradually declined. Moreover, there are now many other sects or large factions on the mountain.

  Many people were unhappy with this little door and little house occupying the name of the sect, so there was a martial arts competition. It also led to Ye Wen taking advantage of the situation to successfully cross into the body.

  He didn't know or understand these things, so he couldn't figure out why the fight had started, and his thoughts got stuck in a dead end.

  Feeling suffocated, I decided to put this matter aside for the time being and ask myself again after a while about that cheap sister.

  "If it's because I've offended some insufferable person, no big deal, I'll just hand over the position to her and let her do as she pleases, I'll just be carefree on the side!" Ye Wen didn't think there was anything wrong with this either, after all, everything here was unfamiliar to him.

  In an unfamiliar environment and among unfamiliar people, he couldn't even confirm whether he was still on Earth or not. It's only natural that he wouldn't consider the possibility of offending someone who shouldn't be offended, and whether his own junior sister would suffer as a result.

  All he had to consider was how he could survive in this world - that's all.

  Thinking of this, he needs to start thinking carefully about his own capital.

  Just now he had already determined that his cheap master left him nothing but the base of Shushan Sect and a signboard.

  Some loose change and coins, should all be in the hands of his junior sister at this time - he estimated that his junior sister would not have too much either, because the environment he is currently in is not a luxurious place, but rather slightly simple.

  Of course, all of this was within Ye Wen's expectations. From the fact that a sect had been reduced to just two little cats, he could guess that the current Book Mountain Sect didn't have any assets either. Moreover, they were currently being driven out of their old home and had become homeless...

  "It seems like I'll have to think of a way to make money and support myself in the future!"

  Thinking of myself, if I hadn't crossed over, I'd probably be worried about job hunting after graduation too! It seems that his life trajectory hasn't changed much, still having to work hard for his future.

  However, compared to the original world, this world seems more suitable for him. After all, he had learned a lot of martial arts before and was "battle-hardened". If he were to mix with the pugilistic world, perhaps he would have more "outstanding" achievements than in his previous life. At least from those dream scenes where he practiced his skills that he just remembered, those moves didn't seem much better than what he had learned before.

  Just thinking about it, Ye Wen couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I didn't expect it, I had already decided not to get involved in these things again, yet such an unexpected thing happened!" Recalling the words he once said to his good brother, Ye Wen could only sigh at the unpredictability of life.

  With a wry smile, Ye Wen clenched his fist and inadvertently glanced at the ring on his finger, suddenly remembering the piece of cloth that had fallen to the ground earlier.

  "Oh, right! I almost forgot about this one!"

  He jumped down from the bed, and the shock caused his chest to ache again. Ye Wen cursed and muttered: "That palm didn't seem extraordinary at first glance, but it's unexpectedly so powerful. Could it be that I was injured by the legendary internal force?"

  Thinking of inner power, Ye Wen suddenly looked forward to his future life, because if this world really had inner power, it also meant that he could fly and walk on walls like the people in the books he used to read.

  "When I've mastered the ultimate divine technique, I'll come back and take revenge on you bunch of thieves who stole our land!"

  Covering his chest, enduring the pain, he picked up that thin cloth on the ground. These two steps made Ye Wen feel dizzy all over, so he had to sit down next to the table and spread out the cloth in front of him to see if there was anything unusual.

  And just like that, Ye Wen was directly stunned.

  This step is not big, just about the size of a page book, Ye Wen can use one palm to spread the whole cloth on it, and there are indeed some things on it. Three human-shaped patterns show three different postures, which can be seen at a glance. The three postures are continuous.

  As for the small characters on the side, they make it even clearer to the viewer that there are still some key points in these postures, so this piece of cloth really doesn't have anything mysterious about it. Basically, even if you haven't practiced martial arts before, you can tell at a glance that this is a martial arts secret manual!

  Ye Wen is no fool, and considering that both he himself and this body have a certain foundation, it's not difficult to see at a glance that this is a secret recipe - he can even directly see that this is a set of swordsmanship secrets.

  What made Ye Wen furious was the big characters on this thin cloth, which was the place indicating the name of the martial art. On it were written in bold letters: "Life-Taking Linked Three Immortals Sword" seven big words.

  Maybe many people don't know what these seven characters represent?

  But for a transmigrator - or rather, a new century transmigrator who has experienced the martial arts era, the xuanhuan era, and even the web novel era's saturation bombing - these seven words are simply too familiar.

  As one of the Jin Yong's Wuxia novels, "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" features a famous killing move from the Huashan School of Swordsmanship, this set of Three Immortals' Swords is so well-known to countless fans, especially Jin Yong fans, that it's almost too familiar.

  Moreover, in the early years of the internet boom, there was an online game based on Jin Yong's 14 works, where this sword technique was a compulsory killer sword for the Huashan School for a long time.

  Ye Wen, however, was very fond of the Jinpai and had also played this game. He indeed had an account with Huashan Sect - he just chose to play as Qizong, which didn't use this sword technique.

  However, this did not hinder his understanding of this swordsmanship.

  Life-taking Triple Ring Sword, it's better to say it's a sword move rather than a sword technique.

  This sword move has only one move, with three styles in one breath, linked together. Once used, the opponent will either die or be injured (of course, this is a tautology, being hit by the move will naturally result in death or injury).

  It's just a three-style swordsmanship, one ring after another. Once the swordsman seizes the opportunity to make his move, his opponent will find it hard to parry, and in the end, they can't escape the tragic finale of this move.

  In "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer", this move was mentioned as a powerful technique. During the great battle between the Sword Sect and the Qi Sect, many Qi Sect disciples were killed by the Sword Sect using this sword technique, proving that although it is simple, it is indeed effective.

  "Could it be that legendary Three Sages Sword from The Smiling, Proud Wanderer?"

  Ye Wen didn't dare to be certain, but at the beginning, because he was interested in this sword technique, he did indeed carefully read through the passage that described this move. In it, the sword technique was also detailed and explained thoroughly. Therefore, he wasn't afraid that this was just a namesake of that sword technique.

  After comparing the moves above with what he knew in his heart, Ye Wen found that the thin cloth depicted exactly the three immortal swordsmanship he knew. The introduction on this thin cloth was more detailed and subtle, and as long as he followed the introduction on this thin cloth, Ye Wen believed that even if someone had never learned martial arts before, they could still practice this sword technique. It's just that the final force used is hard to say...

  With his left hand supporting the thin fabric, and his right hand forming a sword shape to practice the moves, Ye Wen had completely memorized this set of sword moves in his mind. However, this didn't mean he had mastered the move; he still needed to physically practice many times before his body could remember how to use the move properly.

  But how to choose the right time to make a move in actual combat, that still requires accumulating more experience in battles.

  Unconsciously it was already late at night, Ye Wen put away the thin cloth and returned to bed to continue resting. At this time, what troubled him was another problem.

  "Why did the martial arts in Jin Master suddenly run to his own face?"

  The only explanation was the strange ring on his hand, and he still clearly remembered that there was nothing in his hand originally, and where he stood at that time would not touch anything. This ruled out the possibility of this thin cloth coming from anywhere.

  At the same time, I clearly felt that this ring had absorbed something from my body before the thin cloth appeared. "So to speak, is it the weirdness of this ring? Then what did he absorb at that time?"

  As he thought about it, Ye Wen suddenly remembered the wound on his chest, and then thought of that legendary inner power.

  "Wasn't the ring absorbing the internal energy from my body?"
