Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning-Chapter 28 - Dragon Roar in the Box

In the Jianghu, one must acknowledge their mistakes.

Ji Shuhua does this exceptionally well.

Su Mo surely understands now why this man can make so many friends.

Tactful in testing waters, and does not feign ignorance afterwards, directly offering apologies.

It is said that you don't hit a smiling face.

Even if somewhat annoyed, such gestures tend to dissipate the irritation.

Su Mo waved his hand: "How can Hero Ji say such things? I am young and inexperienced, and the Ziyang Escort Agency is not well-known. It is only natural to have reservations. Please, have a seat quickly."

"Thank you, Lord Su, for not taking it to heart."

Ji Shuhua smiled, indeed taking a seat again.

Su Mo then turned his gaze to the case in his hand, and upon closer inspection, he noticed that the opening was at the top end.

He set the case on the ground and with a tap, a sound akin to a dragon's roar echoed, the aura of sharpness fully revealed.

Su Mo took a closer look, and there was indeed a sword inside the case.

The sword had not yet been unsheathed, but already it was incredibly sharp and astonishing.

"What is this?"

He looked at Ji Shuhua.

"This sword is named Dragon Roar."

Ji Shuhua spoke: "At the time of its forging, the sharpness was too fierce, so my friend had to craft this case to contain it. He jokingly calls it... Dragon Roar in the Box!"

"..."

A twitch formed at the corner of Su Mo's mouth, not sure why, but what first came to his mind was an image from a video game.

He immediately shook his head, admiring: "Indeed, a fine sword. Hero Ji's friend is certainly a master, worthy of respect."

Ji Shuhua laughed heartily: "That's true, and I've always believed it. However, he always says that his skill is not yet perfect, that if his mastery reached perfection, why would the sword be too sharp to contain? Why the need for Dragon Roar in the Box?"

Su Mo raised his eyebrows, indeed becoming truly interested in this friend Ji Shuhua mentioned.

But this was obviously not the time to inquire, as Ji had made it clear before that his friend preferred to keep a low profile and disliked having his name mentioned by others.

As Ji was known for his integrity and loyalty, he would naturally keep his friend's secret.

Changing the topic, "May I know where this sword is to be delivered?"

"Yuliu Manor!"

Ji Shuhua uttered these four words.

Yang Xiaoyun was startled; since she had entered this living room, she had always followed Su Mo's lead, never overstepping her bounds, quietly observing Su Mo's actions. Now, she couldn't help but speak:

"Could it be the Yuliu Manor by Yujing Lake on Yuqing Mountain?"

"Precisely! The lady is very astute."

Ji Shuhua said: "This sword was forged at the request of the manor master of Yuliu Manor, Yu Liu Sword Heart Liu Suifeng."

On Yuqing Mountain, there's Yujing Lake, and by its shores, Yuliu Manor.

The manor master, Liu Suifeng, is indeed a remarkable individual.

In the past, Liu's ancestors chose the site by Yujing Lake and built a sizable manor.

Hoped to gain fame in the Jianghu with the unique Divine Rainbow Heart Seeking Sword, with 81 forms.

Unexpectedly, upon entering the Jianghu, defeat followed defeat, and ultimately, he died in depression.

The younger generation reflected deeply on their pain, practiced their swordsmanship diligently for twenty years before venturing out again, yet still faced more defeats than successes, gaining no notable reputation.

Even so, Yuliu Manor had been passed down.

Although their reputation was mediocre, becoming an inconsequential embellishment in the Jianghu, they remained part of it.

Such a history continued until Liu Suifeng emerged.

Liu Suifeng was both talented and stubborn, even more persevering and diligent.

```

At the age of five, he began to practice martial arts day and night, and by the mere age of ten, he had already reached the apex of his family's sword technique with nothing more to learn.

It is said that necessity breeds invention, and invention leads to understanding; understanding, then, begets mastery.

Having mastered his family's sword technique, he should have sought to innovate, finding inspiration from the unfamiliar.

But this Liu Suifeng was different. Once he reached the peak, he changed the technique!

The Divine Rainbow Heart Seeking Sword, originally consisting of eighty-one moves, was altered by him into forty-nine moves.

After that, he ventured into Jianghu, encountering both victories and defeats, but a momentum of change had begun.

Three years later, he returned to Yuliu Manor and, with dedicated seclusion, modified the forty-nine moves to thirty-two.

When he reentered Jianghu, his victories far outweighed his defeats.

Another seven years of seclusion followed, after which he claimed to have transformed the original eighty-one moves of the Divine Rainbow Heart Seeking Sword into just sixteen.

Unfortunately, the full spectrum of the sixteen-move Divine Rainbow Heart Seeking Sword has been witnessed by none,

for since then, the vast majority in Jianghu could not withstand ten of his strikes without defeat.

This man spent nearly twenty years refining the sword art, and in the end, he achieved a supreme sword skill.

From that point on, the name Yu Liu Sword Heart resonated through Jianghu.

Yuliu Manor's reputation soared because of it.

And it was then that he took on the role of manor master of Yuliu Manor.

However, this man had no interest in dominating Jianghu.

Aside from his dedication to perfecting his swordsmanship, all he wanted was to win honor for Yuliu Manor.

Once that honor was won, he seemed content to sit in Yuliu Manor, rather indifferent to the disputes of Jianghu.

Even so, his fame and influence continued to grow.

Even the Luofeng Alliance would not easily provoke him.

Yet, it came as a surprise that Ji Shuhua's mission was to deliver an item to him...

Su Mo lightly tapped his fingers on the chair, as Yang Xiaoyun's expression became somewhat complex.

Ji Shuhua then spoke:

"This... I'm truly strapped for cash, hence I'd like to offer a hundred taels of silver ticket to implore Su, the Chief of the Escort, to undertake this mission. If Su, the Chief of the Escort is willing, I will present it immediately."

As he spoke, he produced a brand-new silver note from Da You Bank from within his clothing.

It looked as though he had just exchanged it.

Su Mo couldn't help but find this somewhat amusing, as he glanced at a prompt before him.

[Mission: Deliver Dragon Roar in the Box to Yu Liu Sword Heart Liu Sui Feng at Yujing Lake by Yuqing Mountain Yuliu Manor!]

[Accept the mission?]

After a brief contemplation, he made his choice with a thought, selecting [Accept].

He then laughed heartily: "If Hero Ji places his trust in me, it would be rude to refuse. I, Su Mo, will take on this escort mission!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Shuhua breathed a great sigh of relief.

"Thank you, Su, the Chief of the Escort."

"In business, one doesn't push away trade. Hero Ji thanks me, but I must also thank Hero Ji for his patronage."

After a few laughs and finalizing the details of the escort mission, enshrining them in a written contract, Ji Shuhua took his leave.

The Dragon Roar in the Box remained at Ziyang Escort Agency, along with the one hundred taels silver note.

"Ji Shuhua may be magnanimous and open-hearted, yet he also possesses an indescribable cunning. He gives up the entire escort fee without worrying about being swindled, could it be he's confident because the sword is intended for Yu Liu Sword Heart?"

Yang Xiaoyun, watching Ji Shuhua depart, quietly chuckled to Su Mo.

Su Mo gently shook his head: "He is well-connected, traveling across the vastness from Nanhai to the farthest reaches, dealing with all sorts of people, yet he continues to thrive. How could such a man be as simple as he appears?"

"That too is true."

Yang Xiaoyun nodded slightly, then looked at Su Mo, "Don't you think you accepted this escort mission too hastily?"
