Eternal Thief

The mighty blade province was divided between ten dukedoms and a king domain.

Recently, there wasn't anything new besides Blade Demon King's announcement, and almost every youngster who dreamed about going to the royal zone was moving toward Blade King Domain.

Until a piece of astonishing news spread like wide fire, a young demon from a backwater tribe has emerged within the ocean demon duchy, and he was a sword path genius who had comprehended half sword intent.

This drew even Blade Demon King's attention, and he himself confirmed it from the royal demon council, and he was thrilled when he heard this sword path genius was from his province and soon reached his domain.

Blade Demon King has always promoted talents, and he never cared about their background, either. He quickly commanded one of his close aides to go toward the ocean demon city and escort this genius with no accidents.

However, contrary to Blade Demon King's warm attitude, others were jealous and wanted to nib the bud before it matured, and some even order to assassinate of this genius, so he could not hoard all the resources from the blade king domain.

Everyone in mighty blade province knew an emergence of a sword path genius meant he will get a sizeable portion in the upcoming training camp, which simply mean fewer resources for their own juniors.

The most distress about this news was naturally the ocean demon tribe. Especially Livy, who was flabbergasted when he heard this grave news, and he quickly wanted to assassinate Feng before his official title would announce.

However, very soon, everyone found out that this genius was hiding inside the royal demon council branch for two days under the pretext of studying.

Although they wanted to get rid of him, they didn't dare to make a move on the royal demon council branch. Furthermore, the Head Elder Clay himself announced that this youth was under his protection and anyone who dare to make a move will regret it.

This caused great distress in the ocean duke estate, but they were all helpless in this matter now, and they could only fume silently and cursed Feng for being such a schemer.

Soon, shocking news surfaced in mighty blade province, that the title of this mysterious youth was announced.

The most astonishing thing was this youth not only get approval from the demon royal council, and he earned a noble demon title specific for him, not a normal one.

Normally, a specific title will only be bestowed upon a genius duke, but this youth didn't earn the duke title or marquis, but he still got a specific title which was a great honor itself.

The title quickly spread throughout the mighty blade province and some other provinces.

Now everyone was calling this mysterious sword path a genius with his title.

<strong>'Rising Sword Earl!'</strong>

Inside a bright room,

A burst of booming laughter could be heard, and an elated voice filled with pride rang, "Hahaha… Rising Sword Earl, my Feng had become one of the two sword geniuses of mighty blade province. Even his majesty praises him. Hahaha… Feng, oh Feng, you didn't even tell your dear old man about your sword intent. But this is also great Hahaha… I want to see those ocean bastards' faces now!"

This burly demon had a middle-aged face that greatly resembled Feng, and it was only natural since he was Feng's father and the clan leader of the Demon Sword Tribe, Lei Demon Sword.

Lei didn't dare to believe this news at first, but as the time passed, more and more soiled news started to spread, and he finally believed it.

The entire Demon Sword Tribe was in the festival's mood when Feng's title was announced and Lei announced a ten-day celebration in his ecstasy. He was the happiest of anyone because he was Feng's father, and he loved him dearly.

However, Weng had completely opposite emotions from his father, and he almost went mad with shock when he heard his brother had become such a big shot within days after he left the tribe.

This simply means that those two maids he planted with Feng can't kill him now because killing someone with a sword intent for someone like those two maids was simply just a pipe dream.

Weng now regretted his actions because if Feng found out about his treacherous plan, he would meet with a tragic end, and he knew even his Father might not stop Feng from killing him. He was now the hope of their entire tribe, and almost everyone now worshiped him!

However, if they know Feng was someone else who just used Feng's identity as a disguise, no one knows how will they react…

'Clang… Clang…'

Sharp piercing voices of metal clanging together could be heard as a bare chest demon with a handsome appearance and tone muscle was moving like a phantom, leaving after images as his long sword was like a lightning bolt.

However, the wizened face demon was easily blocking these strikes with a faint smile without any effort at all.

"Your Highness, your mind is not clear today."

His husky voice sounded before his sword become alive, and he maneuvered the youth's sword without blinking as his raptor slid on the youth's sword's edge creating sparks before like a snake it twisted, and the next moment it was already on the youth's throat!

The youth stopped when he felt the sharp edge just a hair away from his throat.

He sighed and said, "Butler Jerome, can you go easy on me for once?"

Butler Jerome smile and shook his head gently and said, "I can't, your highness, when His Majesty makes me your trainer, his only command was to never go easy on you."

The youth sighed helplessly as he retrieved his sword and said, "You just like bullying me in the name of my father."

Butler Jerome didn't react at all. He heard these words millions of times and only smiled as his raptor also vanished. He said faintly, "Can his highness tell me what's on your mind?"

The youth said as he looked toward the horizon while a fighting intent flashed past his demonic eyes, "Rising Sword Earl…"
