Chapter 1567. Swordmark
“Twelve hours? I doubt he’d be human if he managed that. Out of all the super swordsmen that have tried, only one has ever managed to last twelve hours. And that person isn’t much weaker than Six Paths. Do you really think Han Sen stands a chance?” Furnace Emperor wore a wry smile.
“But we need someone that accomplished. Otherwise, how can we be happy with our selection of Xu Mi’s teacher?” Fire Empress said with certainty.
Furnace Emperor merely shook his head and did not speak. Powerful elites such as that wouldn’t teach others, he believed. He thought Han Sen was fine, as he had the strength and had learned Six Paths’ Heartsword. He would be a fine choice for Xu Mi’s teacher.
But Furnace Emperor wouldn’t do anything Fire Empress did not approve of, so the decision was ultimately up to her.
Han Sen was unmoving while he battled Holy Sword Emperor’s swordmind.
The swordmind was like a grinding wheel, but it couldn’t diminish Han Sen’s mind. Instead, it felt more like a smithy’s grindstone. The hard edges swept by Han Sen, making him sharper as time went on.
If Han Sen’s swordmind was comparable to steel, the grinding process was making it sparkle like a well-cut jewel. Time passed, and after six hours—seeing he was doing fine—Xu Mi looked ecstatically happy.
Furnace Emperor had to give another compliment, and he said, “This kid is not bad! Xu Mi’s got taste. With such a strong will and sword skills, Xu Mi is bound to learn a thing or two by accepting this guy as his teacher.”
Fire Empress, seeing Han Sen performing without trouble or anything, found herself half-convinced, actually. But she still showed refrain and said, “We’ve only reached the halfway point. It’s still too early for us to say anything.”
