"Has anyone accepted the task?"
Lin Fei returned to his courtyard,
still feeling the sting of spending 10,000 Contribution Points.
"Lin Fei!"
Suddenly, a shadow appeared in his courtyard-
a black-clad woman with a cold aura,
distant and unapproachable.
Lin Fei was cautious but knew the Nine Profound Sect was safe.
"Who are you?"
Lin Fei asked.
"Ling Yao, inner sect disciple."
"I accepted your task—one hour to provide Task Guidance on your Nine Shadow Saber Technique."
"Senior Sister Ling Yao?"
Lin Fei was stunned.
He'd heard her name even as an outer disciple.
She was one of the sect's top talents.
Even among inner disciples, Ling Yao was a legend.
More surprising was her mastery of Nine Shadow Saber Technique-
even reaching Perfect Mastery!
That was incredible.
Ling Yao was only a few years older,
with great natural talent in Body Refinement,
and outstanding saber skills.
"No more talk. I'll only Task Guide you for one hour, starting now."
"Since you posted the task, you must have some skill in Nine Shadow Saber Technique."
"Use full power with no hesitation."
Ling Yao was decisive.
Lin Fei didn't hesitate,
whispering, "Thank you, Senior Sister Ling."
Next moment, Lin Fei drew his saber.
"Swish."
He slashed with all his strength.
Six saber shadows appeared,
incredibly fast.
"Clang..."
Ling Yao struck simultaneously.
She didn't even use Inner Power,
and Lin Fei could barely see her blade's speed.
Yet Ling Yao's blade firmly blocked his strike.
"One strike, six shadows—Nine Shadow Saber Technique at Great Accomplishment!"
"No wonder you wanted a Perfect Mastery expert for Task Guidance.
Your saber is heavy with killing intent.
But Nine Shadow Saber Technique is purely about speed-
all to be faster..."
Ling Yao began the Task Guidance.
One hour was all she would give.
How much Lin Fei could absorb was up to him.
She wouldn't hold back.
Otherwise, it would be embarrassing if the task poster complained to the Elder.
Warriors all understood whether there was holding back.
Ling Yao did not hold back-
she even demonstrated for Lin Fei.
Lin Fei was amazed.
Ling Yao's Nine Shadow Saber Technique
had no extra attachments.
Unlike Lin Fei's, which had a strong killing aura-
a natural product of his own insights.
Ling Yao's technique was pure speed.
No killing intent, no anger—only absolute speed.
Like returning to simplicity.
With a light slash,
nine saber shadows appeared instantly.
Such speed was unbeatable.
No matter how strong or fast Lin Fei was,
he couldn't react in time.
By the time he realized, the opponent's head was already down.
"So this is the power of Perfect Mastery Martial Arts? Terrifying..."
Lin Fei was deeply impressed.
Body Refinement was fundamental,
but combat martial arts skills were equally important.
Otherwise, brute strength alone could be ended by a single light slash.
Ling Yao explained patiently.
Nearly an hour passed.
"Your Nine Shadow Saber Technique, guided by a Perfect Mastery expert,
has realized its mistakes.
It has been purified, returning to simplicity,
and reached the Perfect Mastery realm!"
Boom.
As her words fell,
Lin Fei felt a new memory appear in his mind,
as if innate,
as if he had practiced the saber millions of times,
finally comprehending its deepest secrets.
Ling Yao saw the time was up,
and coldly said,
"One hour is over. I have given you my best guidance.
If you feel it's unfair, you may appeal to the Mission Hall Elder."
For Task Guidance tasks,
if the task poster felt shortchanged,
they could complain to the Elder.
Ling Yao saw that despite the hour of guidance,
Lin Fei had not made much progress.
"No need."
Lin Fei suddenly said,
a smile on his face.
"Senior Sister Ling, I have a blade.
Please Task Guide me on it."
Swish.
Next moment, Lin Fei struck.
His slash had no warning,
appearing suddenly.
In Ling Yao's eyes,
nine white glimmers appeared,
nine sharp blades attacking from all directions.
Swish.
Ling Yao flickered like a phantom,
barely stepping away from Lin Fei's blade.
Her eyes sharpened, and she said sternly,
"One strike, nine shadows.
Your Nine Shadow Saber Technique has reached Perfect Mastery!
Such astonishing comprehension!"
"Senior Sister overpraises.
Besides, even with Perfect Mastery, you didn't even graze my sleeve."
Lin Fei sheathed his blade.
He was surprised too-
Ling Yao's footwork was something he hadn't trained.
Her movement was ghost-like,
making even nine shadows ineffective.
