Chapter 233 - Sword Aura (I)

n

nTime flew by, and another week passed.

n

nThe strategic missile troops near Sydney City had finished loading up. However, the situation in Western Australia did not improve. The people did not believe the higher-ups at all.

n

nThe population of Western Australia was still on the move towards the west.

n

nThe reason was that Western Australia had a large territory but a limited level of martial arts, and five human experts at the peak of the warrior realm were already equivalent to a quarter of its top level of martial arts power.

n

nAs for those at the master realm, there was not a single one in Western Australia. Otherwise, the situation would not have worsened to this extent.

n

nIt could be said that without the help of the Western countries, after losing a quarter of its top-level martial arts power at once, even Western Australia wanted to abandon the space-travel passage that had developed into a problem.

n

nThis also caused the coastal cities across the sea from Western Australia to be affected.

n

nEven the Daxia Kingdom was no exception. The reason was that the top forces in the country had been transferred elsewhere, and the citizens’ confidence had also suffered a setback. There were countless cases in the coastal cities of people purchasing and hoarding supplies and transporting their belongings elsewhere.

n

n…

n

nIn the otherworld, in the forest not far from the space-travel passage, a figure was practicing his swordsmanship. Leaves and dust flew into the air, and the sound of rushing wind could be heard.

n

nOver the past half a month, Chen Yiming had explored the area within a radius of more than 100 meters. After confirming that there were no creatures or dangers lurking nearby, he used the forest as his training ground.

n

nBecause he did not bring any communication tools with him, he could focus on his own cultivation and not be disturbed by anyone.

n

nThis way, the otherworld was really a good place for him to cultivate.

n

n“Martial arts talent panel!”

n

nAfter he got a blessed feeling, Chen Yiming stopped and called out in his heart.

n

nChen Yiming

n

nTalent: Swordsmanship — Level 2; Undying Body — Level 2

n

nLevel: Second stage of the warrior realm

n

nPhysique: Basic Undying Sword Body

n

nSkill Points: 300

n

nHis eyes lit up. Since yesterday, he had a feeling that he was about to be able to upgrade his swordsmanship talent.

n

nThis made Chen Yiming even more focused. He no longer thought about anything other than cultivation and entered a state of absolute focus.

n

nIn his eyes and heart, there was only the sword in his hand, and no other distractions.

n

n“Upgrade!”

n

nWithout any hesitation, Chen Yiming focused his attention on his swordsmanship talent.

n

nIn the next moment, a golden light flashed.

n

nChen Yiming

n

nTalent: Swordsmanship — Level 3; Undying Body — Level 2

n

nLevel: Second stage of the warrior realm

n

nPhysique: Basic Undying Sword Body

n

nSkill Points: 0

n

nOn the interface, his swordsmanship talent had increased from Level 2 to Level 3.

n

nChen Yiming closed his eyes and the martial arts talent panel disappeared. He carefully investigated the difference brought about by his Level-3 swordsmanship talent.

n

nIn the outside world, a figure stood motionless. It looked no different from usual, but there was a sharp aura around it.

n

nA few minutes later, the figure suddenly opened his eyes. With a flick of his foot, a slender branch flew into his hand.

n

nHe suddenly jumped up and slashed at a huge tree beside him.

n

nThis tree from the otherworld was more than ten meters wide and about a hundred meters tall. On the blue planet, it would be considered a huge tree, but here, it was only an ordinary tree.

n

nHowever, even though it was an ordinary tree, it was not only tall and thick, but also harder than metal.

n

nA sharp sound of collision suddenly rang out. The tip of the branch brushed past a few meters away from the tree trunk, and a flash of light could clearly be seen in the air.

n

nThe bark was cut open without any hesitation, and bits of wood flew in all directions. For a moment, it was impossible to tell what the outcome would be. Would the giant tree be cut in half or would it only have its bark cut open?

n

nAfter the dust settled, a crack appeared on the tree trunk where the branch had swept past earlier, spanning the entire tree trunk from left to right.

n

nThe crack looked like the bark of a tree had been cut open, and it was several times smaller than a strand of hair. If one did not pay close attention, they would not be able to tell it was there.

n

nThe large amount of wood shavings from earlier proved that it was impossible for only the bark to be cut open.

n

nChen Yiming looked at his masterpiece and casually stomped his foot. An imperceptible vibration spread out in all directions.

n

nIn the next moment, the part of the tree trunk above the crack started to move, emitting a smooth sliding sound.

n

nA few seconds later, it crashed into the forest.

n

nChen Yiming sized up the cut surface of the tree trunk.

n

nThe surface was extremely smooth, just like a piece of art, revealing the growth rings of the huge tree.

n

n“This invisible force is a new power born in my body after upgrading to the Level-3 swordsmanship talent. It’s similar to using a large amount of internal force.

n

nThis isn’t like the previous Heart Sword ability that can only be used as a trump card, but the effect is similar to the Heart Sword ability. Could it be an advanced version of the Heart Sword?” Chen Yiming pondered.

n

nThe new abilities brought about by the upgrading of his talents were observable. For example, when his Level-1 Undying Body talent was upgraded to Level-2, invisible circuits had appeared between his cells.

n

nThe function of the invisible circuitry was to transmit vitality between the cells. It was an ability built on the powerful vitality of the cells.

n

n“It’s somewhat similar to the sword aura described in novels. In that case, let’s call this invisible force Sword Aura.”

n

nChen Yiming casually gave his new ability a name.

n

nNext, he continued to test the effect of the Sword Aura.

n

nChen Yiming extended his left hand and used his strength-based internal force to form a layer of armor. Then, he used his right hand to slash at the internal force armor.

n

nThe thick and heavy internal force armor could not withstand it for even a moment. Even though it could repair itself continuously, it was still easily broken by the Sword Aura.

n

nHe stopped in time and did not continue slashing further.

n

nChen Yiming keenly realized that not only did the Sword Aura have the sharpness attribute, but it also had a destructive element.

n

nFrom the continuous recovery of his strength-based internal force and how it was destroyed by the Sword Aura, he felt that it could cut through anything.

n

n“Could this be a special realm of swordsmanship?”

n

nChen Yiming was puzzled.

n

nUnfortunately, the level of martial arts on the blue planet was limited. Compared to the high-level martial arts novels he read in his previous world, he could only see three major realms, including the disciple realm.

n

nThere was no comparison he could make and no information he could check.

n

nPutting aside these thoughts, Chen Yiming started to test the limits of the Sword Aura.

n

nThis time, his left hand was no longer covered by just the strength-based internal force. Instead, it was an internal force armor formed by the combination of 13 types of internal force.

n

nFinally, the Sword Aura in his right hand felt some resistance. However, with its pure destructive power, the armor formed by the combination of 13 types of internal force was still destroyed.

n

nIn the end, it could only withstand the attack for a while longer.

n

n“What!”

n

nChen Yiming gasped in shock.

n

nHe could sense that the essence of the Sword Aura was on the same level as the fused internal force. It was half a level stronger than the combination of the 13 internal forces.

n

nFurthermore, he sensed that the Sword Aura could become stronger. The foundation for becoming stronger came from further strengthening of his body. In other words, he had to wait until he completed the internal force fusion cultivation to temper his body with the internal force after the fusion.

n

nHowever, at this stage, his strongest attack had undoubtedly become Sword Aura.

n

nHe could not be bothered to stay shocked.

n

nHe then used his hand as a sword and gently swept it out. During this process, his Sword Aura ability was activated to the limit.

n

nAs far as the eye could see, huge trees were mercilessly cut down one after another. In the end, the Sword Aura only stopped after extending for a kilometer.

n

n“The huge sword formed by the combination of 13 types of internal force can only extend to 100 meters now. The Sword Aura’s range is clearly longer. As expected, there is a qualitative difference in the attack range,” Chen Yiming said in shock.

n

nAt the same time, the figure in his mind became active.

n

nIn his spiritual world, inspiration about the fusion of internal force kept appearing automatically. Somehow, some of the difficulties that he had faced previously seemed to be instantly resolved.

n

n“It’s too simple! The cultivation speed of the internal force fusion has increased by more than 10 times.”

n

nChen Yiming sighed with deep emotion after he got over his shock.
