The master-disciple relationship was not a common one in this world. After becoming a swordsman, the swordsman did not need to learn any advanced moves or techniques. Most of the moves were already known by the swordmistress. The swordsman only needed to hide behind the swordmistress and learn how to protect himself.
For a swordsman, the most important thing was combat experience. Learning how to use the swordmistress flexibly in battle and how to protect oneself was the key … Originally, these things needed to be taught by the senior swordsman.
However, ever since the advent of the game, every swordsman could fully hone their combat experience in actual combat, which was several times more useful than a teacher's teachings.
For example, when Guhan became Wuzhang Shifang's disciple, Wuzhang Shifang could only teach Guhan some combat experience.
As for swordsmanship, Wuzhang Shifang might not even be as good as Guhan, who had mastered the Nine Swords of Mysterious Heaven.
The only person who could really teach Guhan swordsmanship was the swordmaster, and Wuzhang Shifang was not a swordmaster. There were only two swordmasters among all the immortal sword wielders.
In ancient times, the master-disciple relationship was prevalent because the skills of the master could be passed on to the disciple.
The skills of the master could also be passed on to the disciple. In order to pass on their skills, the master was willing to accept a disciple, and the disciple was also willing to find a powerful master.
However, the strength of the swordsman mainly depended on the swordmistress herself, and the swordmistress could only be passed on through the bloodline. There was no situation where the master taught a disciple, and the disciple could inherit the swordmistress from the master.
From the perspective of the disciple, he could not get much from the master, but he might be restricted by the master. For the master, he could not teach the disciple anything useful, and the disciple could not pass on anything from the master.
Therefore, the master-disciple relationship was not common in this world, because the benefits of the master-disciple relationship were not much.
However, when the master became an immortal sword wielder, it was very different, because the master of the immortal sword wielder had a special ability.
The wielder of the Immortal Sword Tier could tear through the void from thousands of kilometers away and exert their power to pull someone back to their side, just like the pair of giant hands that had pulled Rena Takasaka away earlier.
This was the fundamental reason why Guhan suddenly wanted to become Wuzhang Shifang's disciple.
Originally, Guhan was an extremely arrogant person and did not think that he needed to have anyone as his master, so he had never thought about this.
According to Guhan's plan, he wanted to use his own strength to kill his way to immortal sword wielder, then ascend the throne and become an Emperor sword wielder.
However, after this experience, especially the helplessness he felt when facing Medusa and Reina Takasaka, Gu Han suddenly understood. To hell with pride and dignity. Nothing was more important than his own life.
He did not activate the protagonist aura. If not for Qing Pin's sudden release, he would have been crippled by Rena. If not for Qing Pin, he, Takasaka, and all, he, the same thing, would be..
Especially since Rena Takasaka had coveted Qing Pin. Now that Rena Takasaka had failed, there would definitely be other people like Kyosuke Takasaka, Tongo Takasaka, Chiyonori Takasaka, and Enako Takasaka who would come to snatch Qing Pin from him.
Initially, Guhan did not understand why the mastermind would want to snatch Qing Pin. When he saw the young girl Qingpin's strength, Guhan understood that Qingpin was definitely not as simple as an ancient sword wielder. There must be a huge secret behind her, and this secret would attract the mastermind to continuously send assassins.
After Reina Takasaka's failure, the mastermind probably wouldn't be so kind as to use Green Silk to cut off his sword mark. It would be more straightforward to just kill him … But why did the mastermind use Green Silk to cut off his sword mark in the first place?
Wouldn't the cost be too high?
Green Silk was not any less precious than a prince-type treasure.
Regarding this point, Gu Han still could not understand.
Well, it seemed that he had gone off topic. Back to Guhan's apprenticeship, the reason why Guhan wanted to be apprenticed to Wuzhang Shifang was to prepare in advance for the possible attack of the mastermind.
If he was no match for the enemy, he could immediately call for his master, Wuzhang Shifang, to extend a huge hand and save him from danger.
From this, it could be seen that life and death experiences could indeed make a person change greatly. If it was the Guhan of the past, he would probably not want to be apprenticed to someone even if he was beaten to death.
...
Hearing Guhan's request, Wuzhang Shifang was stunned at first, but then he smiled playfully.
Of course, he did not think that Guhan truly admired him and wanted to be apprenticed to him. He could see through the fundamental purpose of Guhan's apprenticeship at a glance. It was to obtain his protection.
Wuzhang Shifang did not directly answer Guhan's request, but asked Guhan in return, "Immortal sword bearers rarely accept disciples. Do you know why?"
"I don't know."
Guhan shook his head. In fact, he knew, he was just pretending not to know. If he wanted to be apprenticed to a master, he should not pretend to know everything in front of his master. This was a saying from experience.
"You little guys, all you see is us immortal sword bearers using the Giant World Breaking Hand to save our disciples from thousands of miles away, but you don't know the price of using the Giant World Breaking Hand."
Wuzhang Shifang extended his right palm. "This hand of mine is going to suffer a huge dimensional backlash. I'm afraid I won't be able to use this hand for at least 20 days.
"That's why immortal sword bearers rarely accept disciples, especially ancient sword bearers like you. It's common for you to encounter life-threatening situations four or five times a day. I don't have that much energy to spend on you."
Wuzhang Shifang shook his head. "I'm not interested in taking disciples. Disciples are just a burden. Forget 500 million RMB, even 50 billion won't make me nod.
Take this money. Increasing your strength is the way to go. Don't even think about using me. "
"F * ck, let's go."
After saying this, Wuzhang Shifang was about to leave with Tian Congyun. He had already obtained the Grand Prince seed, so there was no need for him to waste any more time with Guhan.
"Shifang, I think you should take him as a disciple. This young man is quite sincere!"
Tian Congyun did not immediately leave with Wuzhang Shifang. Instead, he smiled and tried to persuade Wuzhang Shifang.
Tian Congyun's thinking was very simple. The bloodline of the Gu family could not be severed. Whether Guhan was good or bad, he was the descendant of Gu Xuanwu.
"F * ck, if you like him, you can take him as a disciple. Shifang, I'm not interested."
Wuzhang Shifang was a little annoyed. From his point of view, Guhan was an idiot talking nonsense. A timid and cunning young man was not worthy of being his disciple.
Moreover, his Heavenly Cumulus Sword seemed to have an inexplicable relationship with this young man. This made Wuzhang Shifang feel very vexed.
"Senior Shifang, what if there is a Prefecture King Seed?
I wonder if you can accept this lowly one as a disciple. "
Of course, Guhan knew that 500 million RMB was not enough to make a Sword Immortal agree to accept him as a disciple. Therefore, the condition he was prepared to exchange with Wuzhang Shifang was not the 500 million RMB, but the Prefecture King Seed that Guhan obtained.
"Prefecture King Seed!"
Hearing the words Prefecture King Seed, even Wuzhang Shifang could not help but stop in his tracks. He began to seriously consider Guhan's suggestion.
The Grand Prince seed was a treasure that could increase Jiandi's endurance in battle. It was something that Jiandi wanted at all costs.
At a lower level, the Prefecture King Seed was a treasure that Sword Immortals wanted to obtain at all costs.
Compared to the Grand Prince seed, which was produced every few decades, the Prefecture King Seed would be dug out every few years. However, the total number was not enough for the Sword Immortals to distribute.
Take Wuzhang Shifang as an example. He had only obtained one Duke Seed in his life, and it was because of that Duke Seed that he managed to kill his way into the Fusang Divine Branch's base camp on Fusang Island. He forced the Fusang Divine Branch's Universe Level and Universe Level Great Yuans to negotiate with him, and they allowed him to take away the Fusang Divine Branch's Sword Mother's main body.
However, that Prefecture King Seed had already used up the Sword Essence in the crystal during that battle, and it had become a piece of useless rock.
From then on, Wuzhang Shi Fang never obtained a single Duke Seed again.
Currently, there were no Dukedom Seeds for sale in the market. Even if there were, it was not something that could be bought with money. Instead, one would have to pay a huge price for it … Compared to this price, taking in a disciple was nothing.
Wuzhang Shifang had never expected that this little sword wielder would not only have a Grand Prince Seed, but also a Prefecture King Seed.
This Prefecture King Seed had successfully scratched Wuzhang Shifang's itch. He had a big plan, and if he wanted to realize this plan, he needed everything that could increase his fighting power.
"Take out your Prefecture King Seed."
Wuzhang Shifang turned around and ordered Guhan. Guhan did not hesitate, and he straightforwardly took out a Prefecture King Seed from his dimensional pocket and placed it on his palm. At this moment, if Wuzhang Shifang wanted to snatch it, Guhan's Prefecture King Seed would be snatched away by him in less than a second.
Of course, Wuzhang Shifang could not bring himself to do such a thing, especially when his Sword Lady was watching.
"If you take this Prefecture King Seed, I can give you a chance," Wuzhang Shifang said coldly.
Wuzhang Shifang said coldly, "I, Wuzhang Shifang, either don't accept disciples, or I accept the strongest one.
You're a student of Yuzhang University, right? I don't care if you have the qualifications to participate in the Eighth Academy Tournament. In short, if you can get first place in the Eighth Academy Tournament in three months, I will accept you as my disciple.
If you can't get it, then I won't return this Prefecture King Seed to you. Whether you want this chance or not, it's up to you. "After saying that, Wuzhang Shifang shut his mouth and coldly waited for Guhan's final decision.
To be honest, Wuzhang Shifang's condition was very harsh … The first place in the Eighth Academy Tournament would have to compete with tens of thousands of sword wielder of the same generation. In terms of probability, there was only a 0.01% chance of winning. For this 0.01% chance, Guhan had to offer a Prefecture King Seed. No matter how one looked at it, it was not worth it.
"Okay!"
Guhan did not hesitate and sent the Prefecture King Seed to Wuzhang Shifang with both hands, indicating that he accepted this opportunity.
This was because in Guhan's eyes, the success rate was not 0.01%, but 100%.
"However, Senior Shifang, I have a condition that you would like to amend," Guhan suddenly said.
"What condition?" Wuzhang Shifang's face turned cold. "I will not lower my standards."
"First place in the Ancient Sword Tier? I wonder if it can be changed to first place in the Treasure Sword Tier." Guhan smiled honestly. "In three months, I will be a Treasure Sword Tier sword wielder."
"..." Wuzhang Shifang was speechless. This guy called Guhan was really confident in himself.
