Chapter 224: Path of Dual Sword Aura
Viren’s smile faded slightly, replaced by a contemplative look. "Ah, the Dual-Aura Blade Dancer. She was once an extraordinary prodigy from this academy, millennia ago. Such mastery of dual sword auras is incredibly rare, Orion. Even among peak talents, it takes profound comprehension, immense natural talent, and relentless discipline. The number of demons she killed with her dual blades is enough to scare some people to death."
Orion exhaled slowly, feeling renewed admiration for the tower’s profound legacy. "Her skill was beyond anything I’ve encountered. It made me realize how vast the path of swordsmanship truly is."
Viren placed a reassuring hand on Orion’s shoulder, nodding appreciatively. "Precisely. You’ve only just begun your journey. Remember today, Orion—it marks the first step into a world much greater and far more fascinating than most could ever imagine."
Feeling inspired, Orion offered Viren a respectful nod. "Thank you for your guidance, Instructor. You’ve given me a lot to think about."
Viren grinned again, lightly patting Orion’s shoulder before stepping back. "Go rest and recover, Young Helstorm. You’ve earned it."
Orion offered him a small smile. "Actually, I’ll head to the library first. There’s something I need to look into."
Viren raised a curious brow, chuckling softly. "Ever the diligent student, eh? Very well. Just remember to pace yourself. Excellence is commendable, but balance ensures longevity."
Orion laughed lightly, shaking his head as he stepped away from Viren. "I’ll keep that in mind, Instructor."
Turning towards the library, Orion slowly walked toward it. Surrounding students whispered and stared, parting subtly to allow his passage, awe and curiosity lingering in their eyes.
Orion, however, paid them little heed, his thoughts already shifting toward his next goal:
’I need to research more about dual sword auras and mana techniques,’ Orion thought determinedly.
