Du Yuqi was a little confused. When he saw Feng Lin nodded to him, he stood up and went to find a quiet room to meditate. If it were someone else, after using this Sodros's sword scroll, they would have to meditate for a few days to digest the contents.
However, Du Yuqi had already gained a lot of experience in swordsmanship from Sodros, so he quickly digested the contents of this scroll. What made Du Yuqi even more depressed was that he felt that he was on the verge of a breakthrough, and it seemed that with a little more help, he could successfully overcome this hurdle and gain great benefits.
But after getting the scroll, I realized that I had thought too simply. The shackles in front of me had only loosened a little, and were far from reaching the point of collapse. As the saying goes, a journey of a hundred miles begins with a single step. I thought it was just a fine line, but in fact it was very difficult.
At this time, Du Yuqi suddenly thought of what the Pope had said before, and he suddenly had an epiphany in his heart. He knew that this unfathomable strong man must have come for this matter. Thinking of this, he stood up, straightened his clothes, and returned to the front.
Pope Milo was still greeting Feng Lin at this time, neither hurried nor slow, and his words and actions still gave people a feeling of being bathed in spring breeze. When he saw Du Yuqi come back in, he smiled and nodded slightly. Du Yuqi naturally did not dare to neglect and saluted solemnly.
Now that he knew the Pope's intention, Du Yuqi didn't beat around the bush and said directly:
"Sir, I have indeed encountered some obstacles. I originally thought that I would be able to break through after obtaining the swordsmanship scroll of Sodros, but now it seems that I was too naive. I still hope that you can teach me something."
The Pope smiled and said:
"I can't say I taught him, but he has lived to such an old age and stayed in this position, so he must know some secrets that others don't know. Although Sodros's sword skills are powerful, they are secondary. The real secret of his power lies in the secret techniques he learned from a weapon!"
Although Du Yuqi knew that the Pope might not tell her, he could not help but ask:
"What secret technique?"
The Pope said:
"Sodros himself is a swordsmanship genius. It is said that he has a special talent that can resonate with the weapons around him since birth, and is proficient in tens of thousands of weapons! This special talent allows him to exert great power in battle. When he obtained a powerful weapon: Yilong Sword·Decision, he further comprehended the magical secret art of decision from the special effects of this weapon. This is why whenever Sodros appears in front of people, he always carries several weapons."
"That's why, after I knew you had an epic weapon like the Shadowless Sword Eleno, you actually wanted to get more epic weapons. Plus, you also showed off Sodros's unique swordsmanship, so I naturally thought that you might inherit his secret art of choice."
Du Yuqi suddenly realized at this time. No wonder the Pope was so sure that he could not break through. There was no doubt that once he broke through, he would most likely be like Sodros, with a lot of weapons behind his back.
At this point, the Pope continued:
“Although I don’t know what kind of secret art of Sodros you have comprehended, but after looking at the two weapons you chose: the Focusing Sword·Illusion Breaker and the Other Cloud Sword·Useless, it is not difficult to see that the special effects of these two weapons are actually complementary. The guaranteed hit special effect of the Focusing Sword·Illusion Breaker can just make up for the powerful side effects of the Other Cloud Sword·Useless. After the two complement each other, they can create an extremely powerful weapon, which is even more powerful than the Shadowless Sword!”
As soon as the Pope said this, Xi and Feng Lin who were present all looked at Du Yuqi. If it was really as the Pope said, and the guaranteed hit effect of the Illusion Breaker could be added to the Bieyun Sword·Useless, then the negative effects of the Bieyun Sword·Useless would be completely overcome, and this weapon would be truly terrifying.
In fact, Du Yuqi did intend to use the two weapons to complement each other, but it was not related to Sodros as the Pope imagined. But at this time, of course he would not deny it. He just looked at the Pope with a serious expression and said:
"Your Excellency is very observant. Is there any way you can help me?"
The Pope smiled with satisfaction and said:
"That's why I came here. Actually, your current situation is very special. Just like a weapon that must be sharpened before it can become sharp, what you lack now is not accumulation, but a good enough whetstone! There are only a few people in this world who can guide you to overcome this hurdle. One of them is Sodros, and the other is the magic sword Liang Yue. However, these two people are elusive and almost impossible to be invited. As for the person I'm talking about, you should be able to guess it. It's Xilan, one of the Four Sword Saints!"
"Back then, in order to redeem his disciple Shaying, Xilan retrieved Shaying's soul and asked the Holy Temple to purify and liberate him with holy light. For this, Xilan owed the Holy Temple a favor, so the Holy Temple could persuade him to help you..."
After listening to the Pope's words, Du Yuqi suddenly felt enlightened and thought that what he said was very thorough. Although he had gained a lot of experience in Sodros swordsmanship, it was incomplete and unsystematic. It could not be compared with the systematic swordsmanship taught by the teacher. It was almost a pile of loose sand. This should be the reason why he could not make a breakthrough.
Therefore, Du Yuqi said simply:
"So, what can I do for you, my Lord?"
The Pope nodded and said:
"I need the Light Flame Earrings and the Shadowless Sword, Eleno. If you really need the Shadowless Sword, then there is a compromise. That is to go out in battle with a mask on and holding the Shadowless Sword, Eleno, to fight with the enemy. But you must win this battle and not lose."
At this time, Feng Lin suddenly said:
"A battle that requires the Shadowless Sword Eleno. Could it be that the internal dispute of the Iron Wolf Knights is finally going to be decided?"
When talking about the Iron Wolf Knights, we have to mention an ambitious person, that is Barn, who became one of the four great sword masters alongside Xilan. Hundreds of years ago, he served in the Delos Empire and served as the leader of the Iron Wolf Knights. The Iron Wolf Knights are also proud of him.
However, according to many information feedbacks disclosed in later generations, Barn was obsessed with power, but was involved in some dishonorable things, and suddenly disappeared in the Silent City when he was at the most powerful.
After his disappearance, the powerful Iron Wolf Knights were leaderless and ignored by the authorities. In the end, they became a secret and powerful organization, still named Iron Wolf. The characteristic of this organization is that it only recruits swordsmen. According to the news received by Feng Lin, four mysterious strong men holding tokens have appeared one after another recently, claiming that they are the descendants of Barn and want to take over the powerful Iron Wolf Knights.
Obviously, these three mysterious strong men failed to produce conclusive evidence in the end, so the people in the Iron Wolf Knights were wavering. Finally, the elders simply set a rule, that is, duel, and the strong will be respected.
So what does this have to do with the Shadowless Sword Eleno? A lot!
Because Barn is a rare sword spirit who specializes in daggers! Since he claims to be his descendant, he must use daggers when he goes into battle, and the Shadowless Sword·Eleno is one of the most powerful daggers. More importantly, it is very versatile. Not only can the sword spirit use the Shadowless Sword·Eleno to burst out powerful combat power, even the Berserker and Asura can hold the Shadowless Sword·Eleno and kill everyone.
This time, the Zero Organization has become the public enemy of the continent. The hostile Sweepers Alliance seems to be powerful, but in fact it is a loose sand and has already shown signs of decline.
The Holy Hall noticed this subtle situation, and its ambition was aroused. It wanted to seize the opportunity and take advantage of the situation. When the Sweepers Alliance was defeated, it would launch a strong attack and defeat the Zero Organization in one fell swoop! Before that, it was necessary to form an alliance - but not like the Sweepers Alliance, which fought alone, but with the Holy Hall as the core, so that it could have a strong fighting force.
At this time, the Holy Temple had persuaded seven large and small forces to join the alliance. Among these seven forces, the Iron Wolf Organization was also very important. Therefore, even the Holy Temple had expended a lot of effort and finally got in touch with one of the three mysterious strong men holding the token. This mysterious strong man promised that once he came to power, he would do his best to promote the alliance with the Holy Temple. In return, the Holy Temple must find the Shadowless Sword Eleno for him, or help him win the duel.
After understanding the whole story, Du Yuqi agreed after a moment's hesitation. For him, if what he had in his hand was the Light Flame Sword or the Scorching Sun Judgment, he would definitely not give it away so easily. But if it was just the Light Flame Earrings, it would only be a token of trust.
