Chapter 233: Sword Aura (I)
Time flew by, and another week passed.
The 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.
The population of Western Australia was still on the move towards the west.
The 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.
As 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.
It 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.
This also caused the coastal cities across the sea from Western Australia to be affected.
Even 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.
…
In 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.
Over 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.
Because he did not bring any communication tools with him, he could focus on his own cultivation and not be disturbed by anyone.
This way, the otherworld was really a good place for him to cultivate.
“Martial arts talent panel!”
After he got a blessed feeling, Chen Yiming stopped and called out in his heart.
Chen Yiming
Talent: Swordsmanship — Level 2; Undying Body — Level 2
Level: Second stage of the warrior realm
Physique: Basic Undying Sword Body
Skill Points: 300
His eyes lit up. Since yesterday, he had a feeling that he was about to be able to upgrade his swordsmanship talent.
This made Chen Yiming even more focused. He no longer thought about anything other than cultivation and entered a state of absolute focus.
In his eyes and heart, there was only the sword in his hand, and no other distractions.
“Upgrade!”
Without any hesitation, Chen Yiming focused his attention on his swordsmanship talent.
In the next moment, a golden light flashed.
Chen Yiming
Talent: Swordsmanship — Level 3; Undying Body — Level 2
Level: Second stage of the warrior realm
Physique: Basic Undying Sword Body
Skill Points: 0
On the interface, his swordsmanship talent had increased from Level 2 to Level 3.
Chen Yiming closed his eyes and the martial arts talent panel disappeared. He carefully investigated the difference brought about by his Level-3 swordsmanship talent.
In the outside world, a figure stood motionless. It looked no different from usual, but there was a sharp aura around it.
A few minutes later, the figure suddenly opened his eyes. With a flick of his foot, a slender branch flew into his hand.
He suddenly jumped up and slashed at a huge tree beside him.
This 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.
However, even though it was an ordinary tree, it was not only tall and thick, but also harder than metal.
A 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.
The 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?
After 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.
The 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.
The large amount of wood shavings from earlier proved that it was impossible for only the bark to be cut open.
Chen Yiming looked at his masterpiece and casually stomped his foot. An imperceptible vibration spread out in all directions.
In the next moment, the part of the tree trunk above the crack started to move, emitting a smooth sliding sound.
A few seconds later, it crashed into the forest.
Chen Yiming sized up the cut surface of the tree trunk.
The surface was extremely smooth, just like a piece of art, revealing the growth rings of the huge tree.
“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.
This 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.
The 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.
The function of the invisible circuitry was to transmit vitality between the cells. It was an ability built on the powerful vitality of the cells.
“It’s somewhat similar to the sword aura described in novels. In that case, let’s call this invisible force Sword Aura.”
Chen Yiming casually gave his new ability a name.
Next, he continued to test the effect of the Sword Aura.
Chen 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.
The 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.
He stopped in time and did not continue slashing further.
Chen Yiming keenly realized that not only did the Sword Aura have the sharpness attribute, but it also had a destructive element.
From 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.
“Could this be a special realm of swordsmanship?”
Chen Yiming was puzzled.
Unfortunately, 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.
There was no comparison he could make and no information he could check.
Putting aside these thoughts, Chen Yiming started to test the limits of the Sword Aura.
This 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.
Finally, 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.
In the end, it could only withstand the attack for a while longer.
“What!”
Chen Yiming gasped in shock.
He 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.
Furthermore, 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.
However, at this stage, his strongest attack had undoubtedly become Sword Aura.
He could not be bothered to stay shocked.
He then used his hand as a sword and gently swept it out. During this process, his Sword Aura ability was activated to the limit.
As 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.
“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.
At the same time, the figure in his mind became active.
In 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.
“It’s too simple! The cultivation speed of the internal force fusion has increased by more than 10 times.”
Chen Yiming sighed with deep emotion after he got over his shock.
