Chapter 38: There Was Something Wrong With Your Technique!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
Lin Lei followed the ceaseless flow of the Yangtze River, arriving at the great sea to the east of the Empire.
This place had once been the location of the Vampire’s Gate.
But now, things had changed long ago.
The sea was vast and boundless. Seeing this, Lin Lei had some insights.
So, he settled down in this place.
In an instant, a year passed.
This was the fifth year Lin Lei had transmigrated to this world.
On the system interface, Lin Lei had trained a total of thirty thousand times.
Although Lin Lei still hadn’t broken through to become a sage, he was becoming more and more familiar with his control over his mageforce.
As time passed, Lin Lei felt as though his control over his mageforce had already surpassed the God-blessing level, and was moving towards a deeper level.
As for the Sword of Damocles, thanks to Lin Lei’s tireless efforts, he had once again acquired its blade. Thus, the Sword of Damocles had been upgraded to become a peak king-level weapon!
Lin Lei’s residence was in a small fishing village. Lin Lei didn’t reveal his identity in front of them. In front of a group of unarmed commoners, Lin Lei didn’t have any interest in being pretentious.
The sun rose in the east, casting a white ray against the sea.
Lin Lei sat on the beach, a flame slowly rose from his hand.
Right at this moment, the sound of rustling could be heard from a nearby pile of weeds. Lin Lei didn’t even turn his head. He just laughed and greeted him, “Good morning, Uncle Bud.”
Behind him, a muscular old man slowly walked over. He carried an enormous sword on his shoulder and the complicated runes engraved on it were incomparably obscure.
“Good Morning.”
The muscular and white-haired old man smiled slightly. After greeting Lin Lei, he began to practice wielding his sword.
The muscular and white-haired old man called himself Bud, but Lin Lei didn’t know his full name.
Lin Lei had been here by the sea for an entire year and Bud had been here for almost a year as well. The two had arrived at roughly the same time. Every morning, Bud would practice wielding his sword by the sea, and in the past three hundred days, he hadn’t missed a single day.
Lin Lei didn’t know exactly how powerful Bud was.
If it wasn’t for the fact that he had some sort of profound mystery divine ability that could cover his cultivation level like Lin Lei’s secret technique, Uncle Bud’s cultivation level would definitely be higher than Lin Lei’s.
But of course, Bud wasn’t able to see through Lin Lei, who had concealment technique.
The two had a tacit understanding and none of them went to find out who the other was or how powerful he was.
Lin Lei had come here to find a chance to break through to the sage level. As time passed, the two of them became friends.
They even sparred occasionally.
Uncle Bud’s actual combat experience was far more powerful than Lin Lei’s, but Lin Lei had the God-blessing level mageforce affinity, and his control over the mageforce was far greater than Bud’s.
Thus, the result had been fifty-fifty.
But as time passed, Lin Lei’s actual combat experience began to skyrocket, and Uncle Bud gradually began to lose.
Three months had passed and Bud hadn’t even won once during this period of time. freewebno vel.co m
“Kid, shall we spar again today?”
Uncle Bud said to Lin Lei while carrying his big sword.
“Haha, Uncle Bud, why are you so stubborn? You clearly know that you can’t beat me, but you still want to be abused. I really do suspect that you are a masochist,” Lin Lei laughed as well.
The two of them had spent a year together. Lin Lei understood Bud’s personality, and so he didn’t need to be polite with him.
But of course, if there were any outsiders who knew what was going on, they would definitely be so shocked until they couldn’t speak!
In this Empire, who would dare say such things to the desolate sword sage?!
“Since that’s the case, I’ll make my move.”
The big sword slung over Bud’s shoulder swung out and his muscular body flew towards Lin Lei at high speed.
“Then I hope that uncle will be a bit more serious. After you lose, you won’t say that it is waterproof.”
With a flick of his arm, a bronze-ranked staff appeared in Lin Lei’s hand and a surge of cold mageforce was injected into it. Instantly, that ordinary staff became indestructible!
None of them had used any profound mysteries divine abilities, spells, or sword techniques. The battle between the two was purely a battle.
Clang!
Clang, Clang, Clang!
In just the blink of an eye, the two had exchanged hundreds of moves!
The outcome of the battle was hard to predict!
“D*mn, Uncle Bud, look behind you!”
Lin Lei suddenly pointed behind Bard and barked.
Bud subconsciously turned his head and said subconsciously, “What’s wrong?”
Bang!
Lin Lei’s bronze staff directly pressed against Bud’s neck. At this distance, there was no way for Bud to resist at all.
If Lin Lei had been filled with killing intent, most likely, Bud would have died hundreds of times by now.
“Uncle Bud, look, you’ve lost again.”
Lin Lei put away the staff in his hands and laughed.
Thus, how could Bud not know that Lin Lei was intentionally trying to distract him?
Sighing helplessly, he had no choice but to accept it.
After all, when the two had just begun sparring, he had used this technique to create a diversion for deceiving Lin Lei many times.
Lin Lei laughed loudly, “To be honest, even if we continue to fight, you will definitely lose within five hundreds moves.”
Bud let out a cold snort, “Are you sure?”
“Don’t be unconvinced. Your sword is simply too heavy. Although your usage of this big sword has reached a level of perfection, you have forgotten the original reason for using it.” freewebnov el.com
Bud was stunned, “Original reason?”
“The so-called ‘sword’, it is just about three words.”
“Fast, accurate, and vicious.”
“Your sword swing is wide and big, but it is too slow. You are very experienced in actual combat, I admit, but you are bound by these techniques.”
“Although these complicated techniques are very powerful, they affect the speed at which you attack.”
After saying this, a ray of golden light shot out from Bud’s eyes.
Right!
Lin Lei’s words were absolutely correct.
Right now, wasn’t it precisely for the sake of improving himself that he had returned to the basics.
In that instant, Bud felt as though he had understood.
“Good lad. I’ve been taught a lesson.”
Bud didn’t stand on ceremony. He directly bowed deeply towards Lin Lei.
Lin Lei waved his hand, “These are just a few of my insights.”
