I Truly Have Average Talents

Chapter 21: Can’t Pull It Out

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Damn, the Green Dragon Sword.”

“Damn, the Green Cloud Sword!”

“Damn, the Spiritual Treasure Sword!”

“Damn…”

From afar, Liu Chuan could hear Monkey jumping up and down while exclaiming non-stop.

“Monkey really doesn’t know anything. He’s making such a fuss about just a few swords. He’s nothing like me… Damn… This is… the Azure Band Sword!”

The Azure Band Sword was said to be the sword of Cao Cao, a formidable ruler of his era. It was extremely sharp and could cut through iron as if it was mud.

Rumor had it that Cao Cao also had a treasured sword called the Heaven Sword. Meanwhile, Cao Cao gave the Azure Band Sword to Xia Houen.

The Heaven Sword could suppress enemies, while the Azure Band Sword was used to kill!

In the battle of Changban Hill, Zhao Zilong single-handedly saved his master and engaged in a fierce battle with Xia Houen from Cao Cao’s camp. The two sides fought for dozens of rounds. In the battle, Zhao Zilong snatched Xia Houen’s Azure Band Sword.

At this point, the Azure Band Sword changed owners.

Later on, the Azure Band Sword was given to Guan Yinping, the daughter of Guan Yu, and Li Yi, the son of Li Hui, by Zhao Yun when they got married.

Liu Chuan had always thought that all of this was fiction. He never expected to see the Azure Band Sword here.

Upon closer inspection of the Azure Band Sword, one could see a golden dragon carving on its hilt. The sword was covered in feather-like dark patterns, and the blade was incomparably sharp. It seemed to be emitting an invisible sword qi at all times, giving off a sharp feeling as if one’s hair was being blown off.

Liu Chuan muttered to himself for a few seconds before making up his mind to take the Azure Band Sword.

He loved this sword.

The tombstone of the Azure Band Sword was not very tall. Liu Chuan stood to the side and reached for the hilt of the sword, wanting to pull it out.

However, after exerting force several times, it was as if the Azure Band Sword had sprouted roots. It did not move at all, and could not be pulled out by Liu Chuan.

“Could it be that there’s some kind of restriction in these ruins? This Azure Band Sword is indeed extraordinary.” Liu Chuan took a deep breath and circulated his vitality into his arms. Then, he spread his legs and gripped the hilt of the Azure Band Sword with both hands, using all his strength to lift it up.

Sure enough, the Azure Band Sword was still not pulled out. The tip of the sword was clearly stuck in the grave. However, no matter how hard he tried to pull it out, he could not pull it out. It was as if the sword and the grave were one.

Liu Chuan was a little depressed. After all, he was already quite strong. Even if he was given a car, he would still be able to lift it up. However, this situation made him feel as if he had strength but nowhere to use it.

“It can’t be that the spiritual swords choose their own masters, right? I don’t know any sword techniques, so what should I do?” Liu Chuan’s chest felt stuffy. He was angry at himself. He had countless valuable swords in front of him, but he couldn’t take any of them away.

Since Liu Chuan couldn’t pull out the sword, he prepared to run to the others to take a look at what they were doing.

After taking two steps, he saw that Monkey seemed to have made up his mind as well. He chose a spiritual sword and was about to pull it out. However, the result was obvious. The expression on Monkey’s face went from a look of abnormal excitement to a gradually stiffening expression.

Monkey struggled for a long time before accepting reality. He slumped to the side as Liu Chuan walked over and patted Monkey on the shoulder. He looked like he was in the same boat.

People were like this. This was just like when they were studying. If one was the only person who failed, they would definitely be depressed. However, if others failed too, then they would be good brothers!

Now, both Liu Chuan and Monkey had such a feeling. It turned out that the other party couldn’t pull out the sword either. They were indeed good brothers!

Meanwhile, Lin Sisi and Wu Zhixin didn’t find a spiritual sword that they liked. It wasn’t that they didn’t like the swords. Instead, they were still hesitating.

After Liu Chuan and Monkey told the two girls about their situation, Wu Zhixin also wanted to give it a try, but in the end, she didn’t pull out the sword either. Thus, everyone’s gazes shot towards Lin Sisi in unison.

Lin Sisi saw that everyone else wanted her to give it a try, so she couldn’t choose a sword anymore. Then, she placed her hand on the hilt of a spiritual sword that she liked and gently pulled it out.

At this moment, a strange phenomenon occurred. The blade of the spiritual sword started to tremble violently, and the entire sword tomb started to tremble as well.

“There’s a chance!” Everyone’s eyes lit up.

The spiritual sword seemed to let out a soft hum as it prepared to welcome its new master.

Wu Zhizhi was also getting anxious. She urged, “Sisi, use more strength and pull it out.”

However, Lin Sisi bit her lips lightly as if she had made a decision. At the last moment, she actually released her hands.

“Wu ~”

The spiritual sword also let out a sorrowful cry, as if it was upset that Lin Sisi had given up on it.

“I’m sorry.”

Liu Chuan and the others were also confused. What was going on? She didn’t even want the spiritual sword that she had gotten hold of.

When Lin Sisi saw that everyone was dumbstruck, she had no choice but to explain, “At the last moment before I pulled it out, I felt a resonance with it. It was as if I saw its past and present life. The previous owner of this Azure Mystic Sword was a devil god who killed countless enemies. However, its evil tendencies were too strong. I don’t like killing either, so it wasn’t very suitable for me.”

Everyone came to a sudden realization. It turned out that one could actually experience resonance with the spiritual swords.

Although Lin Sisi explained this, Liu Chuan was still a little puzzled. Was this the Sword of Slaughter? Could it be that Lin Sisi would also become a God of Slaughter in the future?

However, when Liu Chuan saw Lin Sisi’s peaceful and cold expression, he couldn’t connect Lin Sisi to a female devil god who had killed countless people.

“Also, my family owns a martial arts school. I’ve learned some superficial sword techniques,” Lin Sisi added.

So that was how it was. If one did not know any sword techniques, one would not be able to pull out the sword.

Liu Chuan and the others finally understood the reason why they were unable to pull out their spiritual swords. The three of them had never learned sword techniques, so they were unable to resonate with these spiritual swords.

“Son of Heaven, let’s go. There is always a way out. Let’s go to the front and see what else there is.” When Liu Chuan saw that Monkey was a little depressed, he teased him before pulling Monkey forward.

Since they couldn’t pull out these spiritual swords, there was no point in staying here any longer. They might as well go deeper and see if there was anything else.

“Let’s go together. I also want to go there to take a look,” said Lin Sisi. She hadn’t chosen her spiritual sword yet, so she decided to go with Liu Chuan and the others.

“Alright, let’s go together then.”

Liu Chuan and the others prepared to leave the area of the sword tombs. If it weren’t for the spiritual swords on every tombstone flickering with spiritual light and oppressive sword qi, with so many tombstones together, it would really be easy for people to feel fear.

If the lights were any darker, it would be like a horror movie set.

Even though the path ahead was rugged and winding, it was fortunate that Liu Chuan and the others were already used to traveling in the wilderness. Thus, they quickly left this region.

Then, a towering palace appeared in front of Liu Chuan and the others.

It was a huge palace-like building. The golden-colored glazed tiles actually shone with dazzling light in this dim environment.

Before the few of them even reached the front of the palace, they already felt the majestic aura of the palace. It actually felt as if the palace could swallow mountains and rivers.

Everyone came to the front of the palace and saw that this palace had no doors. There was a black plaque hanging from the top. The word “sword” was written in a large font on the plaque!

Everyone looked inside and saw countless ancient books stored in the palace.

Liu Chuan was delighted. This place was definitely where the sword techniques were stored.

As long as he could come into contact with sword techniques, he could use the system to quickly master them. At that time, he would also have a chance to pull out a spiritual sword from the sword tombs.

Indeed, there would always be a way out.
