Chapter 157

The reason he had been able to reach the level of Sword Saint after dying ten times was because he had dedicated all that time purely to the sword.
He could improve so rapidly because he was simply retracing steps he had already taken.
What lay beyond this level?
He had decided to undergo wall-gazing training, but the only enlightenment he had grasped was the faint clue he had felt while fighting the Minotaur.
He would, of course, recover the full extent of his original power, but he knew from experience that wouldn’t be enough.
The sword in his hand was an ordinary iron sword. The reason he had stockpiled cheap iron swords instead of expensive ones was simple.
If it was difficult to reach the next level quickly, it would be better to refine his skills at his current level. He could no longer say he had no talent with the sword, so he believed he could reach his desired level with enough time.
He contemplated the sword in his hand, then turned his head at the presence he felt behind him.
