CHAPTER 251: CHAPTER 155: QIAN YI’S EVOLUTION OPPORTUNITY! THE TRUE SWORDSMAN!_3

That was its goal: it wanted to become a true Swordsman!

But, having obtained its own sword and comprehended its own swordsmanship, what was it still missing to ultimately become a true Swordsman?

Right, what was it still missing? Su Ping didn’t know either.

The Paperman now seemed to have thoroughly fulfilled all the conditions to be a true Swordsman; the sword and swordsmanship themselves were symbols of a Swordsman. But could the Paperman still not be called a Swordsman now?

Su Ping pursed his lips. He turned his head, his gaze slightly intensifying.

He suddenly looked beyond the isolation glass wall of the Undead basement, a place ordinary Papermen couldn’t go, but Qian Yi could come and go freely.

There were sofas for resting. To cater to the Paperman’s mood, Su Ping had also placed the martial arts film projection screen there. It was the Paperman’s biggest pastime and entertainment, and Su Ping wasn’t cruel enough to deprive it of that.

So, occasionally, when the Paperman was tired from training, it would come here. These projections were still playing those old movies and martial arts discs that Su Ping had found, on a 24-hour loop.

At this moment, the film playing on the basement projection screen was at a very special point.

It was when the film’s protagonist, at the lowest point in his life, obtained his fortuitous encounter: the Sword-type Pet Beast with Spirit Saint Level potential called the Snowfall Divine Sword.

Clearly, it was a very traditional martial arts film.

Almost all elements were integrated into it along with the Beastmaster system: revenge, fortuitous encounters, the manipulator behind the scenes, winning the beauty, a perfect ending, and invincibility in the world.

The film’s protagonist started off miserable, his family devastated due to someone’s schemes, without even a chance to get a Contracted Beast. Afterward, with the Snowfall Divine Sword, he suddenly rose to power.

At this moment, the plot of the film was at this stage.

Clearly, many people could guess the subsequent plot. But the story of an underdog rising against all odds to become a dominant figure was one many enjoyed.

However, even with a fortuitous encounter, it wasn’t so simple to rise to power. After all, Zhang Wuji had spent five or six years playing with monkeys before he managed to master the Nine Yang Divine Skill.

Of course, the timeframe in films isn’t like in TV series. Everyone knew that this stage wasn’t achieved overnight, but it could be shown through accelerated shooting techniques.

Several years’ worth of time was consumed in the flickering of scenes in the film.

During this period, the protagonist of the film was communicating with the Snowfall Divine Sword. He was honing his spiritual power and learning to control Sword Artifact-type Pet Beasts. At the same time, he was waiting for his strength to reach the level where he could leave the mountains.

Su Ping turned his head back, his gaze firmly fixed on the movie screen.

He had regretted letting the Paperman watch these things before, for it hadn’t learned a thing, just damn well learned the set of a Swordsman’s show-off moves. But now, it seemed that it wasn’t entirely a bad thing.

Watching the scenes, at this moment, Su Ping seemed to finally understand something. He felt as if he realized what the Paperman Qian Yi was still lacking to become a true Swordsman!

Finally, within the projector screen, a resounding thunderous explosion was heard.

As the film’s protagonist held the Snowfall Divine Sword, looking towards the vast horizon, all viewers knew that at this moment, the protagonist of the film had mastered his divine skill! Or rather, he had finally cultivated the so-called Snowfall Divine Sword to the strength necessary for him to exact his revenge.

So at this time, was the film’s protagonist a true Swordsman? No!

Because at this moment, the film’s screen didn’t expound on the protagonist’s words or push the plot; there were only the scenes and actions of the protagonist stepping down the mountain.

In fact, the segment of him descending the mountain was almost as lengthy as the montage depicting his several years of sword practice.

But, nearly every step the film’s protagonist took on the road down was thrilling because everyone knew the time that followed was when the protagonist would truly show his strength!

The previous scenes, plot, and achievements were all about practicing the sword. But one who only practices the sword is not a Swordsman! One who draws the sword is!

Only when one truly draws the sword, truly faces an enemy, do people know the sword is not just a decoration! That is a true Swordsman!

It had to be said, this film was truly worthy of being ranked among the top martial arts films online.

Even Su Ping, watching it again now, felt his heart stir involuntarily along with it.

The pace of the plot seemed to have reached its peak at this moment! Because the film’s protagonist had finally made his entrance, arriving at the residence of his nemesis, which he had imagined countless times over the years.

The screen seemed to freeze at this point. The protagonist adjusted his bamboo hat, looking towards his nemesis’s residence. At this moment, with nothing else present, accompanied only by the protagonist’s award-winning acting and gaze, the film’s subtitles displayed a poem Su Ping had heard in both his past and present lives:

’Ten years to forge a sword, its frost blade never tested.’

’Today I present it to thee, who has injustices unaddressed?’

Now, in this era’s Beastmaster Society, this poem was revered as the ultimate truth by Sword-type Pet Beast Tamers of all ages.

Today I present it to thee, who has injustices unaddressed?!

The romanticism and boldness of the Swordsman were undoubtedly revealed in that final line!

At the same time, following the poem in the narration, the film’s pace was driven to its climax.

Even though it later investigated the so-called nemesis and conspiracy, all the film’s lengthy buildup exploded forth at this moment.

Su Ping’s eyes shone brightly. At this moment, he finally understood completely and was also certain.

What the Paperman Qian Yi still lacked to become a true Swordsman... That was it: an opponent!
