Chapter 224: Resonance of Essence and Bloodline

The narrow-minded guy of the Larken Clan drew his sword and pointed to Yale.

“Today I will prove that our Larken Clan can’t be fooled by an evil being like you. Our justice will prevail!”

Yale was already tired of hearing that guy’s nonsense, and the same applied to the other members of the Larken Clan.

Although some of them didn’t want to believe about the Larken Clan having traitors, they also knew that Herken wouldn’t side with Yale without reason and that the guy who had just spoken was on the wrong.

However, they didn’t dare to speak because they feared that he would also say that they were corrupted as he said to Lar before.

The battle started, but the quick ending the narrow-minded guy expected didn’t happen. Even having an inferior strength, Yale managed to stop the attack effortlessly.

“Let’s see how many time you can use undetectable evil skills to cheat!”

He didn’t even think that Yale’s ability was superior to his own; for him the only reason Yale blocked the attack was that he was using some cheat that he couldn’t detect.

“The biggest fool is the one who didn’t want to learn, and you are clearly of that type. I don’t want to waste more time speaking with you.”

That battle was also being recorded by the record formation set by Herken in the camp. Thus, Yale knew that the narrow-minded guy would end becoming the laughingstock after it was shown to the Larken Clan.

After a few exchanges, Yale was feeling that the bloodline foundation was starting to react, but the reaction was still too low; even with all his restrictions, that battle wasn’t intense enough.

Yale yawn while blocking another attack of his opponent who was enraged by the lack of seriousness Yale was having.

“You are really shameless! You did shady tricks and even dared to mock me! You said that I don’t have any restrictions on the battle, so I will stop using just swordsmanship. There is no reason to show that my swordsmanship is superior when you are cheating!”

After that moment, the narrow-minded guy started to use Skills with his sword, and his battle prowess increased a lot.

“Finally a bit of pressure under these conditions.”

Yale smiled while thinking that; he was fearing that his opponent wouldn’t start to battle with skills and remain using that easy to block swordsmanship. In fact, although Yale’s opponent was at the master stage, he was far weaker than Selenia in pure ability because he seemed like a swordsmanship textbook instead of a real swordsman.

Even Swordmad had taught Yale enough to not be like that when he started to teach him because it wasn’t good just using the movements learned from books or masters; the most important was making those movements natural for the body and modify them in any situation to adapt them correctly.

Being rigid and strict while using the sword would just limit the swordsmanship, but that guy’s mindset was that the movements he learned from the clan were perfect and couldn’t be modified or he would be harming the honor of the Larken Clan.

If it weren’t by the strength of his Sword Bloodline, Yale’s opponent wouldn’t even have reached the expert stage in swordsmanship due to his lack of flexibility.

After a few minutes, Yale hadn’t even moved one step from his original position while his opponent had used a lot of skills and methods to try to hit Yale, but had failed every time.

He even tried to use flying swords, but he could only control two of them and even combined with the one on his hand, he was unable to hit Yale who was still able to block him without moving even a step. However, the pressure increased enough for the Sword Bloodline to truly start its final phase of recreation.

If Yale had known that the guy’s battle prowess was so low, he would have asked Lar or Herken for a sparring battle after reaching Imperial City. After all, Yale didn’t like boring battles like that; if it weren’t because his objective wasn’t winning immediately but helping to execute the final phase of the Sword Bloodline’s recreation, he would have beaten that guy long ago.

“[Sword Bloodline] created and awakened correctly inside the user’s body.”

“User obtained the Legacy Skill [Space-time Sword Formation] obtained as a sub-quest reward.”

Yale smiled and checked his third legacy bloodline. That time he didn’t shut off the notifications corresponding to the quests to be able to know the exact moment he completed it. After all, he didn’t fear being distracted in that battle.

“Sword Bloodline: Complete. Bloodline containing the power of the Sword Law, allows the user to use easily sword-related skills. Improves the understanding of the Sword Law. Synchronized with Wyba.”

Yale quickly looked towards Wyba, but she wasn’t showing any signs of feeling bad like when he awakened the Time Bloodline.

He also wanted to check his new Legacy Skill obtained as a reward from completing the sub-quest, but before he could do it, he started to feel strange as the Condensed Sword Essence resonated with the Sword Bloodline.

“The user reached Origin Level 30.”

“Main Chain Quest: Origin Path Rank 3 completed.”

“Skill Quest [System special function improvement: Storage] completed. [Storage Space] improved.”

Yale’s aura improved at the same time those notifications appeared on his head, but he didn’t have time to bother about them due to the strange reaction happening on his body.

Everyone else also detected that Yale reached the Practitioner Rank while defending from the attacks of his opponent. Making a Rank breakthrough was far more difficult than making a normal one, and usually, people secluded themselves for a bit of time to advance; doing it like Yale was far too strange.

“So, you were hoping that your breakthrough would save you. I am sorry, but I am still far stronger than you!”

The guy was attacking again, but he suddenly felt pain in his left arm. While he was speaking nonsense, Yale had stabbed him with the sword without letting him even notice about it before feeling the pain of the wound.

“Shameless.”

Yale didn’t mind about the words of his opponent, he had been without attacking the whole time, but in a battle, he couldn’t be without attacking forever.

The sword in Yale’s hands was a normal one, but he was using it like a rapier focusing on stab attacks; that type of attacks proved to be extremely effective against that guy’s battle style that wasn’t able to adapt to different situations.

“The user reached Origin Level 31.”

Yale’s aura increased again just a few seconds later from his previous breakthrough; the people of the Larken Clan had heard about the legend of his successive breakthroughs in the midst of a battle, but they didn’t believe it completely until seeing it with their own eyes.

At that moment, Yale took his first step in all the battle and started his frenzied attack with the sword in his hand. The attacks weren’t intended to be deadly, but to make a lot of small injuries into his opponent as a form of humiliation.

“The user reached Origin Level 32.”

Yale’s aura rose again; he was in a special state thanks to the reaction of the Condensed Sword Essence and the Sword Bloodline and didn’t want to waste that opportunity. He had already decided that if his opponent were defeated too quickly, he would ask for a battle against Herken immediately.

“You are a monster! It is impossible to advance that quickly!”

He was more than ten years older than Yale, but he was still at the 3-star Practitioner Rank; it wasn’t bad for his age, but Yale was just a level behind him despite such difference of age.

Yale didn’t reply as he just continued with his attacks; he was being very careful to avoid harming any important part of his opponent’s body. A true swordsman would be able to beat his opponents without the need to give a deadly blow.

Killing with a sword was easy, using it like Yale to beat an opponent avoiding provoking true injuries was difficult.

“The user reached Origin Level 33.”

Yale had advanced in a few minutes the same amount of levels that his opponent had needed to spend whole twelve years to advance.

The higher the realm, the more difficult it became advancing, but that didn’t apply to Yale thanks to the combined legacies of his past life.

In fact, the strange thing was that Yale didn’t have that speed before given how powerful he was in his past life. Of course, his main problem was that his memories were sealed, most of his legacies were also sealed by the Last Wish System, and he lacked some of his legacy bloodlines.

Even Lar would have been able to advance far more than her current level if it wasn’t for the bad effect her childish personality was having on her training and her lack of memories.

A reincarnated expert that had all the memories from the start would suffer a lot mentally, but wouldn’t have a childish personality, and the training speed would be truly exaggerated until nearing to his previous level compared to normal people’s training speed.

Of course, only those who had reached at least the Law Master level could be considered Reincarnated experts, anyone else was just a reincarnated person, and the benefits wouldn’t be so high.
