Chapter 779 - 390: Nature?
Alex’s legacy becomes increasingly grand, and Baiyi is seriously comprehending it, continually studying swordsmanship.
This time, he initiates the learning process himself.
Yet, his left hand always grows a dagger, frequently practicing assassination during swordsmanship’s intervals.
Moreover, Alex’s swordsmanship, capable of encompassing everything, undergoes subtle changes.
The memories within the Memory Golden Ball are from Alex’s Divine Era.
Having these memories, combined with current Grandmaster-level Knife Techniques.
No enemy is a mortal enemy anymore.
Baiyi begins to engage in battles with greater ease.
When a familiar figure appears in front, Baiyi’s increasingly silent gaze stirs waves in his heart.
For, opposite him is a youth with scarlet eyes, those eyes full of malice are staring intensely at him.
Familiar black blades leave streaking marks in the air.
Baiyi sighs deeply; is the last hurdle himself?
Win, and the legacy ends; whether Alex emerges no longer matters because Baiyi’s swordsmanship has reached its pinnacle....
Seeing the speechless figure opposite him, the slight waves in Baiyi’s eyes vanish, the longsword slightly tilting, directing the blade towards the Baiyi in his memories.
Zheng~
The flash of the blade explodes, the final battle suddenly begins.
Baiyi understands his own restraint in swordsmanship well, though Alex’s physique indeed surpasses his in many aspects.
He only needs to wait for the most crucial image to appear.
Every slash of his blade is identical to Alex’s from that time, in their duel, Alex gains an absolute advantage.
As the space begins to shatter, a thunderbolt pierces through the space in an instant.
Baiyi relaxes his gaze slightly; he doesn’t pursue victory like Alex but directly condenses his Sword Intent, gathering all his strength to slash fiercely towards an inconspicuous blade mark.
Immediately, he rushes towards the space’s fracture, the Sword Intent manifests again.
The world halts at this moment.
Zheng~
[Task: Pact of the Soul. (Completed.)
Reward: Grandmaster-level Knife Techniques.]
[You have gained, Grandmaster-level Knife Techniques, acquiring two swordsmanship specialization choices.]
The panel notification abruptly emerges.
A hint of relaxation appears in Baiyi’s eyes, glancing at the surrounding scorching atmosphere, the entire world begins to shatter.
With a casual lift of the hand, Zheng~
The long blade vanishes.
Darkness recedes.
A pair of angel wings gently flutters.
The Earth Spirit Spring Water continuously surges, furiously saturating and purging Baiyi’s soul, rapidly dispelling impurities and injuries within his soul.
"How long has it been?"
Baiyi calmly asks.
"Since you entered, thirty minutes."
The angel’s voice is very silent but still carries a hint of warmth.
Baiyi nods, massive Power of the Soul surging.
Numerous complex, mood-affecting memories form one golden ball after another, casting the surroundings in gold.
These are all Alex’s memories apart from practicing swordsmanship.
His Light Side cannot awaken the Sword Intent, whereas the Dark Side’s Sword Intent requires one’s own understanding, hence these experiences are unimportant, instead affecting Baiyi’s disposition.
So, it’s enough to retain combat strategies, the rest can be sealed, to be made into a Book of Memory later.
Info about the Gods, various encounters are still useful.
Can effectively enhance the Federation’s database.
Thinking, Baiyi utilizes a panel privilege.
[You employ the title upgrade privilege.]
[Seven-Star Title, God Hunter begins ascending to Eight-Star Title.]
[Estimated upgrade time: three natural days.]
Glancing at the remaining privileges, now leveled up to Level 90 with a BOSS specialization, God Slaying has two Divine Specializations, swordsmanship legacy awakens two specialization choices.
In other words, Baiyi currently has five specialties to choose from.
However, now is not the time to choose specializations.
Bottles emitting intense aura of Rules emerge, Baiyi’s soul quickly being restored, the dissipating Sword Intent no longer obstructs the soul’s healing.
When the potion’s power is fully absorbed by the soul in an instant, Baiyi’s figure gradually fades.
He glanced at the corpses of two Gods hesitantly but didn’t pick up that blade.
The blades of Ancient Gods have specific attributes, cannot be directly utilized by other beings, require recognition by the Divine Artifact.
Even if Baiyi hasn’t erased Alex’s memories, then he cannot use this blade.
It doesn’t leave on its own now only because it was initially suppressed by the Sun Salutation, later suppressed by the rules here.
Divine Artifacts indeed possess certain mobility without their wielder, but they cannot unleash their true Power, unless... someone attempts to destroy them.
Then a newborn consciousness will unleash its full potential, swearing to fiercely resist such destruction.
Outside.
Baiyi, quietly lying on a steel bed, slowly opens his eyes.
He feels his body’s condition.
The Light Side, apart from a weakened soul, has no other injuries or depletion.
But the Dark Side differs; the Dark Side’s injuries and malice require substantial negative energy to replenish.
These injuries can indeed be called fundamental injuries.
Manifesting as the diminished effect of all specializations.
This includes the most crucial recovery power in the Dark Side system.
If the Dark Side initially, without any suppression, could recover 30% to even 40% of Life Value per second, now it recovers 20% or even 15% per second.
