I Stepped on a Bug, and the System Says I Slayed a Dragon?-Chapter 41: Lin Mofeng’s Shock! Senior Sword God Is Truly Unfathomable

Chapter 41: Chapter 41: Lin Mofeng’s Shock! Senior Sword God Is Truly Unfathomable

"What!?"

Hearing this, Elder Li’s expression changed drastically, and he subconsciously slammed his hand on the table.

BAM!

The precious sandalwood table instantly shattered into dust!

The tea on the table splashed everywhere, and the pastries and snacks tumbled to the floor.

Seeing this, Li Zixuan and Lin Mofeng, who were standing beside him, were both terrified. They exchanged glances, not daring to say another word.

Without a doubt, Elder Li was truly enraged.

Just yesterday, he had given strict orders to guard the stone stele and forbid anyone from approaching it.

But then, first thing in the morning, this act of vandalism occurred.

It was a resounding slap in the face!

"Who? Who did this!?"

Elder Li’s face was grim. In a single bound, he reached the door, yanked it open, and roared at the security director who had just rushed over.

BOOM!

As he spoke, a terrifying pressure bore down on the director. It was like Mount Tai was crashing down on him, and he instantly collapsed to the ground in fear!

"I... I don’t know either... Elder Li..."

"When we went to check this morning, we just... we just found that someone had... carved... carved words on it..."

He stammered, terrified that Elder Li would strike him down with a single palm strike in the next second.

"Teacher... please calm down first."

Seeing this, Li Zixuan stepped forward from behind him and said softly, "Let’s go to the site and see the situation for ourselves first."

"Junior Sister is right. Teacher, don’t be angry."

Lin Mofeng, who was beside them, chimed in to agree, but he was also quite displeased inwardly.

After all, this was a gift he had given to his alma mater.

The junior students had barely gotten a chance to look at it before it was vandalized the very next day. It was infuriating.

However, thanks to his good upbringing, he suppressed his displeasure and tried to persuade Elder Li.

"The three of us should go take a look at the stele first. If the damage isn’t severe, I can just repair it myself."

Hearing this, Elder Li, who had stopped at the doorway, also realized he had lost his composure.

HUFF!

He closed his eyes and let out a long, heavy breath.

Only after suppressing the rage in his heart did he help the security director up from the floor and say:

"This incident is a major dereliction of duty on the part of your security department! I will settle this account with you all later. As for now... come with me to see the damage to the stele."

"Yes... Yes, thank you, Elder Li."

The security director said tremblingly as he led the way.

Elder Li followed behind him, hunched over with his hands behind his back, his expression still grim. Li Zixuan and Lin Mofeng walked closely by his side.

The group went downstairs and headed straight for the Martial Arts Plaza.

Looking from a distance, the plaza was packed with people, all whispering amongst themselves, creating a noisy and chaotic scene.

"He’s here! The Dean is here! Everyone, make way!"

"It’s despicable! Who on earth did this? To dare to deface the stele... it’s just too much!"

"Sigh, we finally get a Grandmaster Level Cultivation Technique, and I barely had time to look at it before it was ruined like this..."

These sighs reached Elder Li’s ears, making his already foul mood even more agitated. His Dao Heart was in turmoil.

"All of you, be silent!!"

Elder Li suddenly roared, his voice booming like thunder across the entire Martial Arts Plaza, instantly stunning everyone into silence where they stood.

Silence. Utter silence.

Countless gazes focused on Elder Li, but not another sound was heard.

The crowd parted to either side, clearing a wide path.

With his hands behind his back, Elder Li strode through the crowd to the front of the stele. He nervously inspected the carvings, and his heart immediately sank.

Just as he’d feared!

Compared to yesterday, there were many new carvings on the stele. Someone had taken it upon themselves to add to the Cultivation Technique, a completely unnecessary and presumptuous act!

This lawless act by the carver was undoubtedly a sign of blatant disrespect for the Jianghai Martial Arts Academy.

If word of this got out, the entire Jianghai City would mock their Martial Arts Academy.

"Investigate! Find out who did this for me at once!"

Veins bulged on Elder Li’s forehead, and his chest burned with rage. He spoke through gritted teeth, nearly biting off each word. "I will find that little bastard and drag him out!"

The moment his voice fell, Lin Mofeng suddenly took a step forward, sensing the Star Force on the stele from a closer distance.

"Wait... Teacher," he said, surprised. "The carvings on this stele... something seems off..."

"Hm?"

Hearing this, Elder Li was confused. "Mo Feng, what do you mean?"

"One moment, Teacher. Let me take a closer look."

As he spoke, Lin Mofeng stepped closer and released his Star Force, covering the stele to perceive it.

However, the instant his Star Force made contact, his expression changed drastically. Shock and bewilderment gave way to a look of utter disbelief as he murmured:

"How is this possible... My Star Force is gone!"

On the stele now, an incredibly sharp Sword Intent radiated out, having replaced his own energy.

Lin Mofeng’s expression changed again. As he perceived that Sword Intent, his body began to tremble instinctively.

The residual Sword Intent alone was enough to prove one thing.

The person who carved this was terrifyingly powerful. Their understanding of the Sword Dao had reached the Transformation Realm, far beyond his own comprehension!

At the same time, Elder Li also began to calm down.

The sudden turn of events had clouded his judgment.

Now, sensing it carefully, he too discovered the surging, sharp, and overwhelming Sword Intent on the stele.

"Huh? What’s going on with the content of this Cultivation Technique?"

Just then, Lin Mofeng let out a cry of surprise. His gaze fell upon the contents of the stele, and he noticed something else was amiss.

The incomplete section he had previously carved on the stele was completely untouched. The mysterious carver had only added new parts in the empty spaces.

But...

’Why would they do that?’

At this thought, a sudden chill ran down Lin Mofeng’s spine. A terrifying idea flooded his mind!

’Could it be... that person completed this Grandmaster Technique!?’

’Impossible... Absolutely impossible!’

This was a Grandmaster Level Star Force Technique, after all!

Completing a Grandmaster Level Cultivation Technique was exceedingly difficult. It could take decades and still not be accomplished.

Even the most respected old professors in the Imperial Capital wouldn’t attempt it lightly.

So how could such a powerful figure possibly appear in a small place like Jianghai City?!

However, filled with doubt, Lin Mofeng tried circulating his True Essence according to the newly added steps on the stele.

The result?

It was completely smooth and unimpeded. The True Essence flowed through his meridians with incredible ease, as if it were perfectly natural!

The facts couldn’t lie.

Lin Mofeng stared at the stele in a daze, feeling as if his entire worldview had been shattered!

"That person... really completed the Cultivation Technique, Teacher..."

Lin Mofeng choked out, muttering to himself.

At that moment, his Dao Heart... shattered.

An incomplete Cultivation Technique, lost for a thousand years, had been effortlessly completed overnight!

It was simply unheard of.

Just what kind of person possessed such heaven-defying abilities?!

"What?!"

Hearing this, Elder Li, who was standing to the side, was equally stunned.

Because as he and Li Zixuan stepped forward to feel the Sword Intent on the stele, he suddenly realized it felt familiar.

"This is... Senior’s Sword Intent! It was Senior who completed it!"

Elder Li’s white eyebrows shot up as he spoke in shock, understanding everything in an instant.

Beside him, Li Zixuan also understood immediately. Her face filled with adoration, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

’Teacher, as expected of you!’
