Guarding the River of Time-Chapter 329 - 320: Sword God in 7 Days—What Does Speedrunning Sword Dao Mean?!

Chapter 329: Chapter 320: Sword God in 7 Days—What Does Speedrunning Sword Dao Mean?!

"It seems... I’ve finished practicing everything," Nannan replied.

Hearing this, Su Mu stood up abruptly.

This act of standing was a gesture of respect for talent.

"Finished the Ninth Layer?" Su Mu reconfirmed.

"I think so."

"Daddy, take a look."

As she spoke, Nannan held the Wooden Sword, and in the next second, nine Divine Sword shadows emerged around her, with Sword Qi swirling around her body.

"Alright, daddy knows now." Su Mu waved his hand, indicating that Nannan didn’t need to continue demonstrating.

"Daddy, I’ve been practicing for almost seven days. Isn’t my speed a bit too slow?" Nannan asked innocently.

Upon hearing this, Su Mu didn’t know how to respond.

If someone else asked him this way, he would’ve slapped them long ago, as if saying, "Do you think you’re amazing?"

But he knew Nannan was sincerely asking, because from her tone, she seemed to believe that taking seven days to complete it was very, very slow.

"Not slow at all, it’s pretty good."

Su Mu answered calmly.

He thought that Nannan could sell courses to the numerous Sword Dao Great Cultivators in the Ten Thousand Realms, and he had even thought of course names like "Seven-Day Sword God Mastery", "Sword Dao Speedrun".

However, this course probably wouldn’t sell, because... no one would believe it!

What kind of Sword Dao genius could master Sword Dao in a week??

If Sword Dao were that easy, everyone would be a Sword Dao Grandmaster.

Nannan’s week-long mastery of a Sword Technique made the painstaking practice of all Sword Cultivators in the Ten Thousand Realms a joke.

Su Mu was amazed at how Nannan could have such high accomplishments in Sword Dao talent. If not for the fact that he raised her, he would’ve suspected she had practiced before.

The next day.

Su Mu didn’t rush out, instead bringing Nannan to the backyard.

He called over the five small guards of the vegetable garden, lining them up in a row.

They were the Groundhog, Little Brown Bear, Little Squirrel, Little Monkey, and Little Owl.

When they stood up, they were about the same height as Nannan.

The Little Groundhog’s weapon was its two large front teeth.

The Little Brown Bear’s weapon was a Trident.

The Little Squirrel’s weapons were a shield and a Long Spear.

The Little Monkey’s weapon was a wooden stick.

The Little Owl’s weapon was a Wooden Sword.

Su Mu surveyed them and finally fixed his gaze on the Little Owl.

He remembered that this Little Owl used a sword as a weapon to block his path, and its Sword Dao accomplishments seemed quite impressive.

So he planned to have the Little Owl spar with Nannan.

"You practice swords with Nannan," Su Mu said to the Little Owl.

As soon as he said this, not only the Little Owl was stunned, but the other four were also taken aback.

At this moment, the five little ones’ brains began to speedily exchange thoughts with each other. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Little Brown Bear: "A few days ago, I saw the young master practicing swordsmanship, he seems to have just begun learning Sword Dao."

Little Squirrel: "Just started on Sword Dao? Having Fifth Brother as a sparring partner might not be ideal... We’re all aware of Fifth Brother’s Sword Dao, and if he accidentally injures the young master, that would be a disaster."

The five are like brothers.

The Groundhog is the eldest, Little Brown Bear is the second, Little Squirrel is the third, Little Monkey is the fourth, Little Owl is the fifth.

Little Monkey: "Fifth Brother, maybe you should decline. With your Sword Dao, even if you hold back, you might still accidentally hurt the young master."

Upon hearing this exchange, the Little Owl was uncertain and didn’t know what to decide.

Its Sword Dao had reached an extremely high level, and even if it held back completely, for a Sword Dao beginner, it wasn’t a fair match, too easy to accidentally injure.

It was like a newly walking baby boxer entering the octagon and encountering a boxer named "Tai".

Make no mistake, this boxer named Tai wasn’t Tyson, but Tai Luo!

In the eyes of the other four little ones, the young master who just learned Sword Dao was like a baby boxer, and Fifth Brother was like Tai Luo, and the highest form of Tai Luo at that!

...

Then, the Little Owl cast a pleading glance at its eldest brother, the Groundhog, hoping he would make a decision for it.

The Groundhog transmitted: "Why are you looking at me? Listen to the master’s arrangement; we all have to listen to the master’s arrangement."

...

"Why are you standing there frozen?"

Su Mu frowned and asked.

Upon hearing this, the Little Owl stepped forward a few steps, holding the Wooden Sword.

Su Mu, having seen the Little Owl’s Sword Dao, was more than confident in its ability to spar with Nannan.

"Nannan, you don’t need to go on patrol today, just practice swords."

"I’m off now, you guys keep practicing, don’t slack off on me."

After finishing, Su Mu left and headed out on patrol.

....

"Brother Wu, I’m just learning swordsmanship, so please teach me well."

Nannan said to the Little Owl.

Fifth Brother is the Red Crab, Brother Wu is the Little Owl.

To differentiate, Nannan added a "Little" in front.

At this moment, the Little Owl also noticed the Wooden Sword in Nannan’s hands, which looked quite ordinary.

What kind of sword is this??

The Little Owl had seen countless Holy Swords in the world, but it was its first time seeing a sword it couldn’t understand.

Upon reflection, it made sense; the young master’s sword was obviously given by the master.

Any Treasure Sword the master took out would certainly be extraordinary.

The other four little ones stepped aside, clearing an open space.

"Young master, unleash your full strength and attack me without holding back."

"Only then can I discover the issues you have."

The Little Owl relayed to Nannan through mental communication.

Meanwhile, not far away, several small heads popped out of nearby large iron cages to watch the excitement.

"Is the Fifth Demon King that strong in Sword Dao?" a little black mouse murmured.

These "thieves" that had been caught and caged had dubbed the five little ones with nicknames: Great Demon King, Second Demon King... up to Fifth Demon King.

"Shut up! Don’t say such things anymore!"

"You were caught by the Second Demon King, you don’t understand the terror of the Fifth Demon King!"

"Or rather, you don’t practice Sword Dao; you can’t comprehend the level of the Fifth Demon King’s Sword Dao!"

At this moment, a large green mantis beside them spoke up.

"How high exactly?" the little black mouse continued to ask.

"How high??"

"Let me tell you this; I come from a Sword Cultivator background. Have you heard of the Gulan Sword God?" the green mantis queried slowly.

"Could it be that you are that Sword God from the Gulan Great Realm?!" the little black mouse exclaimed in shock.

.....

"Just a reputation, nothing more; none of that matters."

"What matters is, in terms of my Sword Dao, in front of the Fifth Demon King, I’m like a baby babbling!"

"With that description, you should understand how high it is, right?"

The green mantis replied slowly.

"Then, can you discern the River Guardian’s daughter’s level of Sword Dao?" the little black mouse inquired further.

"I can’t tell, but... I have a hunch she isn’t simple."

"So envious, just as she begins learning Sword Dao, she has such a supreme Sword Dao expert to spar with. When I learned Sword Dao, I had to explore it all by myself." The green mantis lamented.

....

"Young master, make your move."

The Little Owl relayed to Nannan through mental communication.
