Chapter 23 Sword
While the girl was in a daze, Xia Yuyan suddenly reached out and pinched her soft little face, saying, "Xiao Rou, don't be distracted on the battlefield!"
"Oh, oh!" Xu Xiaorou came back to her senses and said in a daze, "Sister Yuyan, I just..."
"Let's not talk about that just now. Let's talk about it when we get back!" Xia Yuyan patted the girl's head, making the latter pout.
"You keep patting my head, I won't grow taller!"
The girl glanced at He Zixin in the distance and thought depressedly: 'Brother too, what nonsense are you talking about? How am I small?'
Xia Yuyan watched the girl's actions, speechless. Adolescent girls have the most little thoughts...
She raised her staff, and the icy crystal formation slowly unfolded. A faint cry came from her mouth: "Meteor, Icefall!"
Dense and sharp ice cones fell from the formation like meteors. In the endless ice storm, hundreds of monsters instantly turned into ice flakes and were trampled into the mud by the following monsters.
After releasing her skills, Xia Yuyan felt a little exhausted and habitually said, "Xiao Rou, Xinghui!"
"Sister Yuyan, the Starlight Technique is gone."
Seeing her captain’s puzzled face, Xu Xiaorou’s little hand produced a skill with a small formation diagram and slapped it towards her, explaining, “But I have this, the Star Bell Technique!
It can increase the target's physical strength recovery speed by 4 times!
And there is another ability, which allows me to designate a person to bind to me and then remotely transfer physical strength.
Isn't it awesome! "
The girl finished speaking in one breath, her slender eyebrows slightly raised, and her smart eyes were full of pride.
Looking at He Zixin who was casting a spell, she raised her little head slightly, and her soft twin ponytails swayed gently, making her look like a kitten in protest.
Xia Yuyan felt her stamina rapidly recovering and nodded, "This skill is indeed very useful, and your level has reached level 20.
Once we gain more experience points and raise our attribute values to level three, we'll go find Lin Luo."
"Hmm!" The girl's eyes sparkled. She looked at her carefully and asked in confusion, "Sister Yuyan, why haven't you reached the third level yet?"
Xia Yuyan's skills appeared in her hands and she said, "It's almost there. Meteor is suitable for large-scale combat. Now that it has been upgraded to level 4, its power has more than doubled.
Bind to my Star Bell, and I will help you reach level three!"
"Um!"
Xu Xiaorou murmured softly, and silver-white starlight emerged from her palm and connected to Xia Yuyan's body.
…
The reason why Lin Luo gave up long-range attacks and chose the very risky close combat was that the use of Wanjian Guizong had special requirements.
Although this skill does not have high level requirements for awakening skills, it has extremely strict conditions for use.
The first and second levels of Wanjian Guizong can only be regarded as a sword-controlling technique, but at the third level, this skill requires the user to possess a special mental will:
Sword thought!
If a sword cultivator does not have the sword mind, how can he be called a sword cultivator?
Moreover, Wanjian Guizong is a colorful skill. If the threshold is low, it would not be worthy of its skill level.
Last night, Lin Luo and Xu Shao discussed knowledge about the Dao of the Sword, and one of the questions they asked was: Where does the sword thought come from?
Xu Shao stammered for a long time but couldn't give a clear answer. In the end, Xiong Ba laughed at him until his face turned red.
In the end, Lin Luo searched online and barely gained some knowledge from ancient Taoist scriptures, which he didn't know whether it was useful or not.
Some say that sword intent originates from the heart. When one's mental strength reaches a certain level, essence, energy, and spirit become one, transforming into a sword. Only when one comprehends the rules can one comprehend sword intent...
Some also say that thoughts originate from the heart, and that tempering one's mind and forging it into a sword is sword thought...
…
When Lin Luo recalled these remarks, he suddenly felt a headache. He didn't know whether they were true or not, so he could only bite the bullet and try.
It turns out that the existence of kendo talent is indeed cheating.
But he was seen leaping among the beasts, holding a long sword.
Moreover, at this moment he was still under the protection of various auxiliary skills. His speed was so fast and his body movements were so agile that even Xu Shao, a full-time swordsman, could only barely keep up.
"evildoer!"
Xu Shao swung his sword and sent a dog-shaped monster flying. He complained, "I can tolerate the high intensity of magic skills, but can swordsmanship and body movements be played like this? I'm jealous..."
Lin Luo was immersed in the understanding of the way of the sword at this moment and did not hear what Xu Shao said.
The spiritual power surrounding him grew increasingly sharp. If one could see his interface, a series of characters would appear above his head at this moment:
Comprehending Sword Intent: Experience Points +860
Kill a Level 2 monster, experience points +1250
Comprehending Sword Intent: Experience Points +890
Kill...
…
He comprehended it this way, his sword moves never stopping: slashing, stabbing, poking, hanging, and swiping...
Each sword carries a trace of spiritual power that is close yet distant. As time passes, that spiritual power gradually condenses and becomes more sharp.
Xu Shao and the other two stared dumbfoundedly at the corpses of monsters around them. All the monsters near Lin Luo were cleared out.
He even charged towards the distance with a feeling of not having enough energy left.
Just when he was about to lead the team behind him to kill the group of third-level alien beasts, Lin Luo finally broke out of this state of "enlightenment".
As the thought flashed through his mind, the swords in the hands of everyone present rang out.
The group of strange beasts in the small area around him felt a chill, as if thorns were on their backs. Their steps stopped and they hesitated to move forward.
Xiong Ba and Han Xue were speechless. Xu Shao's face turned bitter, and he choked up thinking: "I don't want this world anymore!"
Xiahou Xuan and others also noticed something unusual, and they knocked the monster in front of them away with force, looking at the young man with blood on his armor in confusion.
"Is this... sword intention?"
Wu Qi took off his broken helmet and opened his mouth, but the order to retreat had not yet been given.
He didn't want this battle to end in failure, as that would be a heavy blow to the people of the empire.
The young man exchanged glances with them, then looked up at the bustling herd of beasts, muttering to himself, "Level up!"
…
A glow appeared on the bodies of Xia Yuyan and the other girl.
Xu Xiaorou's eyes widened and she exclaimed, "Level...Level 3?"
"Well, in this case, isn't it easy to upgrade to level three?"
A green light flashed on Xia Yuyan's hand, and she was about to use her skill again, but suddenly she found a magnificent formation diagram hanging high in the chaotic sky, shining brightly in the dimness.
Xu Xiaorou took a look and asked doubtfully, "Sister Yuyan, is that Lin Luo?"
Xia Yuyan frowned. Although she didn't know what Lin Luo would do next, she knew that he would definitely be short of physical strength!
"Go help him..."
The two stood up and flew forward quickly.
At this moment, Lin Luo was standing in the air, and a brilliant formation diagram appeared behind him. A bright yellow halo was flowing in it, like a bright sun.
He put one hand together and pointed the sword, the long sword trembled slightly, and hung in front of him, with a golden light on the sword.
His expression changed, and he murmured softly:
"Sword...raise!"
