Living In Another World With A Farm Chapter 8748: Reserves team (1)

Let’s put it this way. Sun Buyu was in the Dharma accumulation realm, yet after grasping saber intent, he was absolutely invincible within that realm. He could even contend with those in the Dharma-use realm. Should he reach the Dharma-use realm himself, he would be nearly unrivaled, unless he faced someone who also comprehended saber intent or sword intent. It’s even possible he could contend with someone in the Dharma essence realm. That’s the power of saber intent. To put it simply, comprehending saber intent signifies... your exceptional talent with the saber, and it also implies you are nearly peerless amongst your contemporaries.

Of course, such a situation isn’t common. Take Hao Tong, for instance. While he knew eight bloody fighting styles, his grasp of them wasn't profound. It was highly unlikely for him to comprehend saber intent, as he was treading a different path. To comprehend saber intent, one must first perfect their saber technique to an extraordinarily high level, eventually simplifying it. Only then might it be possible.

Within the entire Blood Slaughter Sect, the number of individuals who could comprehend saber intent with Sun Buyu’s level of skill was even more scarce. This doesn’t necessarily mean they lack saber genius. On the contrary, many might be saber prodigies. However, at Sun Buyu’s cultivation base, their primary focus typically lies in cultivating Dharma power. Few dedicate their efforts to mastering saber techniques.

For a cultivator, magical power is paramount. What does magical power represent? It signifies strength. With sufficient dharmic powers, one possesses greater might. Without them, even with saber intent comprehended, it's akin to a child wielding a heavy hammer; they couldn't unleash its true potential. Thus, in the Dharma reserve realm, everyone prioritizes cultivating dharmic powers. Consequently, few achieve saber intent at this stage.

Sun Buyu’s circumstances, however, were somewhat unique. He was incredibly steadfast, one might even say pathologically persistent. Regarding magical power cultivation, he adhered strictly to the sect’s directives. For example, the sect mandated eight hours daily for cultivating magical power, alongside a daily Yang Qi pill. He followed these rules precisely: eight hours for magical power cultivation, taking his Yang Qi pill, then using the remaining time for sect missions, practicing his saber techniques, and resting.

The situation for other cultivators differed. Although they also dedicated eight hours to magical power cultivation as per sect regulations, they would voluntarily add another two to four hours of their own cultivation. The rest of their time was allocated to sect missions, practicing saber techniques, and rest. As a result, they naturally couldn’t devote as much time to saber techniques as Sun Buyu, and their progress was consequently slower.

Furthermore, Sun Buyu possessed a valiant disposition, making him perfectly suited for the eight bloody combat styles. This is why his cultivation progressed so rapidly, leading him into the true illusion. It was after experiencing that life-and-death struggle that he comprehended saber intent. In truth, Sun Buyu had already forgotten the specifics of what transpired in the illusion. He had completely fixated on the individual from the Shadow Realm as his mortal enemy. Under those conditions, he was in a perilous predicament. Had he been slain by the school shadow, or even if he survived with mental damage, he would require extensive recovery.

But fortunately, he emerged victorious and grasped saber intent. One could argue it was all a stroke of luck. Regardless, the illusory reality proved immensely beneficial for cultivators. For instance, without entering the illusory reality, Sun Buyu might not have comprehended saber intent so easily, unless he faced an actual life-or-death battle. Yet, a real life-and-death confrontation is significantly more perilous than one within the illusory realm.

Once assured of his comprehension of saber intent, Sun Buyu practiced his saber art for an extended period within the enclosed training grounds. Only when he felt thoroughly familiar with his saber intent did he exhale deeply, departing the training field to return to his quarters.

After a brief respite in the room, he was about to seek out Hao Tong to share the excellent news. Suddenly, a knock echoed at the door. Taken aback, he opened it to find a man standing outside. He couldn't help but stare, then quickly greeted, "Greetings, senior brother. May I inquire about the matter?" Although he didn't recognize the individual, the man's attire clearly indicated he was a cavalryman. Given the high standing of cavalry within the Bloody Massacre Sect, he immediately addressed him as senior brother, certain of his assumption.

The cavalryman acknowledged him with a nod and stated in a grave tone, "Junior Brother Sun Buyu, owing to your exceptional talent, you are hereby transferred to the cavalry reserve for training, effective immediately. Please gather your belongings and accompany me." These words left Sun Buyu utterly astonished.

Sun Buyu was well aware that the cavalry enjoyed the most favorable treatment and possessed the greatest strength within the entire Bloody Massacre Sect. The cavalry reserve comprised mostly future cavalrymen, and while their benefits weren't equivalent to the main cavalry, they far surpassed those of ordinary disciples. Numerous individuals yearned for a chance to join the cavalry reserve, yet few ever succeeded. Now, he had been directly invited. How could Sun Buyu not be surprised?

Sun Buyu remained frozen, gazing at the man for an extended period. The cavalryman observed him and then offered a gentle smile. "Junior Brother Sun, please prepare yourself and inform me. The elder awaits." He displayed no irritation toward Sun Buyu, having witnessed numerous similar reactions and deeming such astonishment entirely normal; it would be peculiar if Sun Buyu reacted otherwise.

Sun Buyu finally regained his composure. He glanced at the man and stammered, "S-senior brother, is what you say true? Can I really join the cavalry reserve team?" Disbelief lingered, as if he were caught in a dream. He had only just attained the Profound Qi realm; how could he possibly join the cavalry reserve so soon? It was common knowledge that even many official and true disciples were unable to enter the cavalry reserve, let alone an outer disciple like himself. The situation was truly overwhelmingly shocking.

The man chuckled and reassured him, "It is true. Although your current strength is not yet formidable, the higher-ups recognized your considerable talent, which is why you have been selected for the cavalry reserve. Junior Brother, please pack swiftly and come with me; we mustn't keep the elder waiting." The man remained patient, his tone unwavering.

Upon hearing this, Sun Buyu leaped to his feet, exclaiming with excitement, "Yes, senior brother, please give me a moment." With that, he darted back into his room, stowing essential items into his spatial teleportation equipment. Moments later, he emerged, bowed to the man, and announced, "Senior brother, I am ready."

The man smiled and replied, "Very well, follow me. We will report to the reserve team first. Afterward, you will have ample time to rest, and it will not be too late to bid farewell to your friend. My surname is Qi, and my given name is Yulong. You may address me as Senior Brother Qi henceforth." He then gestured for Sun Buyu to follow, leading him away. Sun Buyu nodded in agreement and trailed after Qi Yulong. The two quickly reached the Teleportation Array Square, boarded a formation, and vanished in a flash of white light.

When Sun Buyu could finally perceive his surroundings clearly, he found himself on a small island. The structures were minimalistic, consisting of only a few courtyards. The remainder of the island was open terrain where numerous cultivators were engaged in practice. It was evident that these cultivators possessed substantial strength. Some were even accompanied by formidable-looking demonic beasts – beasts Sun Buyu recognized as abnormal, marking them as standard mounts for the sect's cavalry, renowned for their immense power.

Qi Yulong guided Sun Buyu toward a comparatively large courtyard. Two cultivators stood sentinel before it. Upon noticing Qi Yulong, they inclined their heads and inquired, "Senior Brother Qi, have you returned from another mission?" It was clear they were acquainted with him.

Qi Yulong returned their smiles. "Junior Brother Qu, Junior Brother Di. It is indeed you. Yes, I undertook a minor task today and have brought this young junior brother here to report. He is someone specifically recommended by the higher-ups and will be joining our reserve team." He then produced a jade token, presenting it for their inspection.

With a nod upon inspecting the Jade token, the way was granted. Qi Yulong escorted Sun Buyu to a chamber, then bowed his fist, "Elder, this disciple has escorted Junior Brother Sun Buyu here." He then remained silent, standing guard.

A creak announced the door opening from within, revealing a cultivator with a formidable visage. This man, appearing to be in his thirties yet possessing a towering stature, donned iron armor, his entire being exuding a palpable killing intent. He resembled a victorious general returning from the fray, with features of a leopard head, round eyes, and a formidable beard. As his gaze swept over Sun Buyu, the latter's heart constricted; he felt scrutinized by a ferocious tiger, yet dared not stir, overwhelmed by the immense pressure radiating from the cultivator.

The man briefly assessed Sun Buyu before acknowledging with a deep voice, "You are Sun Buyu? Not bad, to comprehend saber intent at such a young age. Come, let us spar with some saber techniques." It was evident he was privy to Sun Buyu's recent breakthrough. This revelation left Sun Buyu bewildered, as he had only grasped saber intent the previous day and had shared this secret with no one. How could this man possibly know?

Nevertheless, with his secret unveiled, concealment was no longer an option. He readily agreed and summoned his blood saber. Gripping the weapon, he executed the eight forms of the bloody battle technique. As he moved, a spectral Blood River materialized around him, forming a complete protective barrier.
