"That's correct, this is Sword Forest... the place where the Patriarch practiced swordsmanship back in the day!"
Almost as soon as Qin Fang asked this question in amazement, someone beside him immediately replied in a loud voice, it was none other than Cui Haoyu and Fu Qinglin who had arrived earlier than him.
Besides them, there were approximately ten other people in Sword Forest, divided into two factions, presumably from the Fu Family and the Cui Family.
Moreover, as Qin Fang briefly glanced around, some of these people were relatively familiar to him, such as the four young experts from the two victorious families, and also Cui Zheming from the Cui Family along with Fu Qingyang from the Fu Family... The rest were unknown to Qin Fang.
Yet, the strength of these people was almost uniform in that none were weak, all were above Grandmaster level, and even in the Master Level Late Stage...
Hence, it was not hard to see why the Fu Family and the Cui Family could become the two top-tier families in Korea. Besides their excellent inheritance, their familial foundation was evidently much stronger than those second-tier families.
Consider Jin Zhengming from the J Family, who had just stepped into the Master Level Late Stage and was already acting arrogantly as though he was the number one in the world, whereas in front of the two families here, there were at least five experts far more powerful than Jin Zhengming.
And this only included the experts present; there were others in the Master Level Early and Mid Stages who did not even qualify to come here and were therefore not counted...
Such strength, combined with each having a Grandmaster-level expert, allowed these two families to dominate in Korea, indeed having substantial foundations.
Of course, this was not what astonished Qin Fang. Though such strength might be considered decent in Korea, it was not sufficient in Dragon Country, not even comparable to some Martial Arts Clans.
For instance, the Lei Family from Capital City, not well-related to Qin Fang, where Elder Lei is a Grandmaster-level expert. Although there aren't many Grandmaster-level experts, one of Elder Lei's nephews has also stepped into the Grandmaster level, making this 'one family with two Grandmasters' significantly stronger than the two families before him.
The foundations of the Cui Family and Fu Family were insufficient to shock Qin Fang greatly. What truly astonished Qin Fang was this Sword Forest in front of him... it really could be deemed a "Sword Forest."
Sword Forest is located somewhere on Bagong Mountain, presumably concealed by some formation, making it inaccessible from the outside... only those who understand formations can enter here.
Qin Fang knew this because the mountain peak before him was evidently invisible from the outside, clearly artificially concealed, and Sword Forest was located beneath this peak.
On a surface area approximately two or three hundred square meters, there were hard rocks everywhere, seeming as if they had been sculpted by knives and axes, with originally jagged rocks now transformed into perfectly flat surfaces.
What poured into Qin Fang's heart with immense astonishment were at least hundreds of long swords embedded upon the broad flat stone surface...
These swords appeared quite timeworn; some had even broken, becoming discarded broken swords, yet they were embedded like this into the exceedingly hard stone, with hundreds of them placed there, creating quite a shocking sight...
Hence, the name of this Sword Forest was indeed genuine!
"Senior Cui, regarding the swords in Sword Forest..."
Qin Fang glanced slightly, his facial expression growing somewhat unnatural because he found quite a number of these swords to be Dragon Country's longswords, or regarded as prestigious swords within Dragon Country... yet they were inserted here now!
As a Dragon Country person, Qin Fang wasn't too fond of these Koreans, but not particularly opposed either; however, seeing such a scene, his complexion slightly changed.
"These swords belonged to those who once challenged the Patriarch and failed, left here as a result... In his later years, the Patriarch collected these over the years, thereby creating this Sword Forest!"
Seeing Qin Fang's complexion turn somewhat unpleasant, Cui Haoyu courteously explained, "However, these swords have endured the tempering of hundreds of years and have gained some spiritual essence, and if one has fate, perhaps one could take away a fine sword from here..."
"Can I too?"
Upon hearing Cui Haoyu's explanation, although the exact truth was unverifiable, Qin Fang's expression was not as unpleasant as before.
Ancient knights were much more formidable than today's; many lived by the sword, dying alongside it, and some would lose their weapons upon defeat in combat, unable to retrieve them unless they won another challenge...
Master of Yijian, Fu Cailin, was already considered among the apex of martial arts summit in the past, with very few capable of equating with him; challenging him carried more fatal intent than mere words could fit, leaving Qin Fang unsure of how best to describe it...
Reflecting such, leaving these weapons here seemed really a matter of helplessness, but what truly amazed Qin Fang was Cao Haoyu's statement.
"Certainly, if Young Master Qin finds a sword aligning with fate, you may freely try... as long as you can draw the sword from the stone, it will belong to you..."
Cui Haoyu cheerfully responded, appearing entirely indifferent, seemingly not considering these treasured swords within the Sword Forest as private assets of the Cui or Fu families.
