“So strong.”

The sword master chuckled and said, "Then add more fuel to the fire."

There was no need to test him anymore, Louis was definitely an opponent worthy of his attack.

“Isn’t this just the beginning?”

Louis spoke softly, and his figure suddenly became blurred, as if he jumped through space, and instantly appeared in front of the knife master.

Invisible realm·Star-piercing sword·Combo.

The sword master remained calm and went straight forward, holding the long sword in his hand across his body.

He lowered his head slightly, and looked at the tip of the sword piercing the blade, which he was holding tightly against, unable to move forward an inch.

Louis' eyes remained calm as he thrust out the sword in his hand again, with a sharp air explosion sounding.

Without any powerful blood energy, just a simple stab was like a giant pile driver, shaking the training ground.

On the composite stone bricks under the sword master's feet, the protective magic patterns broke into pieces, and the hard stone bricks turned into dust.

But the sword master did not move an inch.

He released his extreme strength to his feet.

But he still couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, looking at the weapon in his hand that was broken into pieces, he smiled and said: "Cutting and slowing down."

The weapon in his hand was half broken.

His Heavenly Sword gave it the destructive power to cut through everything, but the damage to the weapon from the Star-piercing Sword still came quietly, and after several collisions, this excellent weapon was on the verge of destruction.

He once fought against the Sword Master Kulin.

Although Sword Saint Kulin is powerful, he still has room for maneuver. He is far from being as unstoppable as this.

There was always a feeling that this prince's holy realm was mixed with something very dangerous.

That thing was not just cutting and slowing down... it was some kind of stronger and more domineering force.

But one thing is certain.

The weapon in his hand cannot be used anymore.

He waved his hand and took out a long knife again.

"Don't you need the magic knife?"

Louis wondered.

"Not now."

The sword master took a few steps back slowly. He didn't mind that the magic sword he had nurtured for many years was shattered, but he minded that the magic sword failed to exert its due effect.

As they continue to uncover Louis' true identity, the correct solution is to use advanced weapons to consume each other.

But his heart sank quickly.

Because Louis launched a stormy attack.

The loud noise caused by the collision of swords lasted for a long time. Just as the sword master was preparing to fight back, he saw Louis suddenly take a dozen steps back.

The long sword in Louis' hand shattered into powder.

The knife master's pupils suddenly shrank, and then he laughed and said, "Good, good, finally I figured out a little bit of the details!"

"Oh?" Louis smiled, "What did you see?"

"Metal control, or energy control? It can't be a simple concept of control, right?" The sword master smiled and chopped out unparalleled sword light.

Louis took out a weapon from his dimensional bag and attacked again without responding to the sword master's words.

I was just secretly surprised.

Although both weapons are of similar craftsmanship, the one that lasts longer in his hands.

This relies on the control power strengthened by visualization.

But this thing should be like a long stream of water, which takes time to taste, but after just a few brief contacts, he realized his own means.

You are worthy of being the knife master! There is something.

The sword master did not say anything, but a cold light flashed in his eyes, and the long sword in his hand danced, the sword energy was everywhere, and the rich sword light bloomed around him.

In an instant, Louis felt as if the world in front of him slowed down.

As the sword flashed, the sword master swung out hundreds or thousands of sword lights in a row.

The blade light tore through the air, making sharp vibrations like a hummingbird.

The numerous sword lights were like mountains, transforming into numerous phantoms in front of Louis, pouring down like rain hitting banana leaves.

Louis did not retreat. A red light flashed in his eyes, and invisible energy formed a fine fluid coating around his body. He allowed the sword light to shine on his body, tearing his outer robe and revealing the combat uniform that fit his body well.

Feeling that the invisible energy was rapidly weakening due to the heavy bombardment, he reached out his hand to touch the sword lights.

He was startled by a slight stinging sensation.

Having integrated the power of the Purgatory Dragon, even in his normal state, he possesses a defense that is better than that of his previous Sin Dragon armed release form.

But he could clearly feel that as the knife lights continued to accumulate, the stinging sensation on his skin was increasing at a terrifying rate.

Until a certain moment, the defense of the invisible energy reached its limit, and with a crisp sound, a ray of knife light fell on Louis.

One of the family heads was ready to take action, but the demigod's sharp perception found that there was no reaction to Bian Ense's demigod, so he forced himself to look at the field.

His pupils suddenly contracted.

The sword light that broke through the invisible energy did not cause any bloody incident on the field.

The knife light fell on the imperial prince, just like a popsicle hitting an iron pillar, instantly splashing out a large amount of rainbow light.

Louis looked at the torn combat uniform. A bloodstain several centimeters long was oozing blood, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"It's amazing. A weapon that can't even be considered a divine weapon can actually leave scars on my body. The holy realm is indeed full of mysteries!"

A drop of cold sweat oozed out of the knife master's forehead.

Although the Purgatory Dragon bloodline is not as thick-skinned and tough as the Arctic Giant Elephant bloodline, it is also one of the toughest ones among the Thirteen Families.

But even if it was a Purgatory Dragon's physique, it shouldn't be like this man's, with skin that was extremely flexible and yet extremely hard.

This is not the characteristic of the Purgatory Dragon bloodline at all.

In a trance, he seemed to remember something: "I see... Did you get feedback from the dragon rider?"

The contract signed between dragon riders allows both parties to share part of each other's power.

In this way, humans have the qualities of dragons, and dragons have the growth of humans.

The two parties are a match made in heaven. The fact that the Dragon Empire can become so powerful is inseparable from the Dragon Knights.

The head of the Gene family, who was watching the battle on the stage, stroked his chin, with a subtle look in his eyes.

An inexplicable thought arose in his mind that this talented Prince Louis had an unexpectedly high level of control over the empire.

The profession of Dragon Knight fully illustrates the concept that "people in the city want to go out, and people outside the city want to come in."

Especially when a male dragon knight is paired with a female dragon, it is extremely exciting for some interracial enthusiasts.

After all, most of the female dragons who can be contracted are inexperienced dragons.

Of course, there are historical reasons for this situation.

On one hand, the male dragon has to endure the pressure of being hunted by the kingdom's army, adventurers, and dragon slayers, and has to spend a long time collecting mountains of wealth in order to win the love of the female dragon.

On the other hand, the dragon knight basically does not have to pay much, and can ride on the white moonlight that the male dragon cannot get, and enjoy all the first times of the female dragon.

Because of this fucked-up combination, there were many conflicts within the Dragon Empire in its early years.

But no matter what, the Dragon Knight Contract is an inherent benefit to both dragons and humans.

What dragons need most is time to grow. A contract with humans can help them get through their early weak periods faster and quickly take on combat effectiveness.

On the other hand, humans can also gain reinforcement from dragon power, greatly increasing their combat effectiveness.

In the eyes of Master Gene, Louis below is in this situation.

As he has the blood of the Purgatory Dragon and the power of the Sapphire Dragon, he is naturally thick-skinned and tough, even thicker than the dragon itself.

However, if you want to defeat the Sword Master just by relying on your strong body, that is nothing but wishful thinking.

A strong body is not a difficult thing for a Saint Realm person, as long as... um, wait? What's going on below? Louis below raised his head and took a deep breath. A large amount of blood mist appeared around the already dense innate energy, turning into a roaring dragon shape, entwining around him.

When Louis raised the knife again, the invisible energy and the blood mist dragon shape intertwined with each other, turning Louis into a red demon.

The sword master looked quietly at the torn clothes on his palm.

There was a residual blood mist floating above, and he retreated immediately after breaking the invisible energy, not just because he was worried that the exchange would turn into a murder.

He didn't think that the guy opposite could be killed so easily.

He just sensed an extremely pure dragon power that was about to attack him.

If he had been slower, he would have collided head-on with the dragon's power.

The long sword in his hand did not stop, and the dense sword light kept slashing at Louis.

However, the sword light that was constantly weakening the invisible energy now seemed to hit an iron plate. When it stabbed Louis' blood-red dragon shape, it turned into a dull sound.

Boom, boom, boom~ The dull sound was like someone swinging an iron rod hitting an iron wall.

The sword master's expression finally changed inevitably, revealing a look of strong shock and incomprehension.

If there was one thing Louis learned from the Sword Master Kulin, it was cutting and slowness.

What the sword master controls is weakening and breaking.

As long as he sees the opponent's weakness, he can repeatedly attack the same weakness and deliver a penetrating blow in the shortest time.

But at this moment, he found it difficult to find a flaw in the blood-colored dragon shape that was protecting Louis.

This doesn't mean that the blood-colored dragon shape has no flaws, but that the person on the opposite side has hidden all the flaws through some means.

"I see...Is it possible to enhance the control ability in all directions and thus become powerful in every angle?"

He originally thought that Louis just had enough control over certain forces, but he never expected it to be like this.

If it was yesterday, his defense might not have reached this level. At least facing the sword light of the Sword Master, there was still a clear gap.

Just before getting up this morning, he felt an invisible force sprouting in his body and quickly filling his entire body.

In just this moment, Louis' career level climbed to LV20, and then in a few breaths, he climbed to the peak of LV20.

At the same time, a special power called [Control of Everything] emerged in him.

This power does not come from Louis himself.

He understood in an instant that Rimuru, who was trained in the White Tower far away in Titan City of the Enther Empire, had achieved a breakthrough.

From now on, it is the legendary monster [Kingdom Slime].

Different from the newly cultivated Kingdom Slime No. 001.

As for the slimes from other kingdoms, as long as the 100 split slimes can be cultivated into giant slimes, it doesn’t matter what they digest.

But Rimuru is different.

Among the 10,000 slimes that make up Rimuru, each one is a special slime.

For example, ordinary special slimes, such as brass slimes, live in copper mines.

However, the specialized slimes cultivated by the White Tower are made by using magic and alchemy to extract pure copper, which is then used to cultivate special slimes from an early age.

The slime cultivated in this laboratory environment will be promoted to [Copper Slime] instead of Brass Slime because it absorbs a large amount of pure substances.

Just from the control over metallic copper alone, the copper slime is far superior to the brass slime and can even suppress the brass slime's bloodline.

A giant slime needs to devour 10,000 slimes to advance.

If you want to cultivate a higher-level [Giant Slime (Copper Element Specialization)], you must cultivate 10,000 rare [Copper Slimes].

This is much more difficult than mass breeding.

What about Rimuru?

The prerequisite for promoting Kingdom Slime is to "promote at least 100 ordinary slimes out of the 10,000 ordinary slimes that make up the giant slime to giant slimes."

It is troublesome to train a giant slime with a specialization direction, let alone train 100 of them.

Given the size of the Enther Empire, it can only support one such experiment.

The reason why he dares to do this is that the owner of the slime is Louis.

As his strength increased, the empire's investment in him gradually increased.

If an outsider knew about this method, he would not be able to get the full support of the empire.

In this case, what will happen if Rimuru is promoted to a Kingdom Slime?

Answer: Obtain special forbidden spells that the experimental kingdom slimes in 001 and any kingdom slimes recorded in history do not have.

【Control of Everything】

The spell effects are simple, there are only two.

The first type is the ability to control any kind of matter, spirit, or energy with extremely high priority.

In the past, Rimuru could only control the metal in the mountains and transform himself into Magneto.

Now, Rimuru can directly turn the entire mountain into the palm of his hand, and grasp, combine and reshape it at will.

Just this effect alone can create a lot of fun.

But that's not the scariest thing.

The second effect is to abandon the superior control over matter, spirit, and energy, and further strengthen the control of a single individual, thereby achieving the effect of absolute control.

For example, if Rimuru simply strengthened his control over the fire element, then during the period when the magic was effective, even if the so-called master of fire, the Lord of Fire Element, descended, his control over fire would only be on par with Rimuru's.

What a terrifying concept this is?

Through the Ruler of Greed, Louis shared Rimuru's ability.

Of course, due to the size difference, he couldn't use [Control of All Things] to the same degree as Rimuru.

But this does not mean that Louis is weak, it’s just that the two sides have different positioning.

"What a pity... Whether it is the invisible energy or your infinite sword light, they are both mixed types of domain power."

The development of these two kinds of power is achieved by mixing mental force with another powerful force, and by gradually improving one's control over this force, eventually reaching absolute purity and embarking on the path to becoming a god.

Although [Control of All Things] can forcibly control the invisible force that constitutes the invisible energy, it cannot make it completely pure.

Because the birth of invisible qi is through the use of mental power to integrate into the body, outline the invisible force, merge with mental power, and finally influence each other to form invisible qi.

In this process, invisible forces never exist alone.

Even if Louis mastered this power with [Control of All Things], he could only split the invisible energy into two distinct branches, which was nothing more than changing from a mixed state to "macaroni", which could not be effectively separated.

But... Dragon Power is different.

Although the power of blood is not as strong as the nameless power, under absolute control, the power it exerts is greater than the invisible energy.

Not to mention, the power of dragon is more like alcohol that is easily soluble in water. It is not so overbearing. It can be integrated into any power system and directly enhance the essence of power.

Thus, the ordinary pressure was mixed with the power of the dragon and turned into dragon might.

The ordinary monster's breath was mixed with dragon power and turned into dragon breath.

Even magic, after being mixed with dragon power, became the more powerful dragon language magic.

"Watch out, this sword is very dangerous."

Louis looked at the sword master quietly, and the long sword in his hand had been replaced by the Tianxin Sword at some point.

The knife master suddenly felt something was wrong, and a sense of impending disaster surged in his heart.

He shouted loudly, and the muscles in his arms became knotted and veins bulged due to the training suit. In a trance, the sword beams of the predecessors in the sword world of all generations rushed towards him.

Thinking of the past when he became the master of the sword and tested the world with the sword many years ago, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He was never afraid, because he was no less than his predecessors; on the contrary, he was an unprecedented opponent and had defeated them more than once.

At this moment, his momentum reached its peak.

At the moment when Louis released the dragon's roaring energy, he calmly swung down one sword after another.

The unparalleled sword light was like falling stars, entwined with the dragon's roaring energy.

Both the demigod Enser in the shadow and the patriarch of the Thirteen Families changed their expressions.

Their demiplanes were torn into spatial cracks during the confrontation between the two.

“Help!”

The head of the Gene family was in a state of panic, and he raised the Prison Dragon Ball and rushed towards the scene.

At this point, the two had already forgotten that this was just a competition, and the only thing left in their minds was "tear apart the opponent's blade/sword light."

A roar was heard.

The protective magic circle covering the venue was instantly torn into pieces, and the demiplane was turned into a chaotic land.

Everyone just felt a buzzing in their ears, and then they could hear nothing.

All the demigods rushed to intercept them and divided into two groups to protect the two.

Then the next second their eyes were stunned.

I saw one person standing and one person lying on the ground.

The man standing is Louis.

The clothes on his upper body had evaporated completely, and traces of blood were seeping out, but he still held the sword firmly in his hand and looked at the ruins where the tip of the sword was pointing.

There was a loud explosion in the ruins, and the sword master walked slowly towards them.

His upper body clothes were basically intact, but there was a sword scar deep enough to see the bone on his body.

Even though there were several demigods trying to intercept him, the dragon roar energy that was blessed with pure dragon power still penetrated their defenses and left clear marks on the sword master's body.

The head of the Gene family sighed: "The winner has been decided. How could such a good fight turn out like this?"

Louis glanced at the sword master sitting on the ruins, shook his head and said, "Yes, the winner is decided."

The knife master showed a smile: "You win."

"No, I didn't win."

"I fell down."

Louis shook his head and said, "It was your body that fell, but your knife was better than my sword."

He is known as the number one swordsman in Roxy, and the title of Sword Master is by no means an empty statement.

Why is such a surging sword light trapped in a legendary body?

Unconsciously, Louis felt a little heartbroken.

"Go and become a demigod. When you become a demigod, we will be almost as good as you in terms of physical fitness. Then, we will... meet at the top."

Louis said nothing more. He turned around, stepped onto the platform, and stood in front of Beatrice: "I won. What happens next is up to you."

He is not a pure swordsman after all.

He thought for a long time why he would fight with Dao Zhu and why he wanted to win.

One of the reasons was to create favorable conditions for Beatrice to negotiate with them.

He turned around and looked at the knife master who was being taken for treatment. The wounds on his body had healed automatically.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a desire.

An idea that had never occurred to me before.

"Next time, when I become stronger, Sword Master, let's fight with pure swords and knives."
