CHAPTER 155- did you also not see the blade move?
Sitting in a lotus position for an entire week without moving.
Tony was cultivating, but he was also thinking.
Of the three walls separating him from the next breakthrough…
He had only broken one… but that didn’t worry him much.
He was far more focused on the techniques he could improve.
He thought about Lightning Slash, which allowed him to accelerate his strike.
It’s a good technique… but it can be improved.
He thought.
For example, to maximize speed, I should use it diagonally instead. That would give me more lightness.
He did the same with every attack he had used.
Recalling their effects and thinking about how to improve them.
Suddenly, he thought about the Chaos affinity card.
Ever since his spiritual body had been cracked by chaos, Tony had stopped using it entirely.
Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.
From his point of view, it was better to evolve his mastery of fire and lightning.
And to advance his realm before doing any experiments with chaos.
Opening his eyes, he saw Hikiri and Aconé watching him.
Tony: How long have you been watching me?
Hikiri: I’d say thirty minutes… but still. You stayed like that for a whole week without moving.
Standing up, Tony walked toward a table where several swords had been placed.
Taking one of them, he performed a few movements.
Slow at first, then rapidly chaining them together.
That’s strange…
Tony thought.
He summoned the black sword into his free hand and performed the same movements he had just done.
Comfortable… I’m much more comfortable with the black sword. And above all, I can clearly feel that I don’t need to limit my strength when I hold it.
Tony thought.
For Lightning Slash, I don’t actually need to keep it as a close-combat technique… I could instead turn it into a long-range technique.
Placing the ordinary sword down, he positioned the black sword diagonally.
First, I concentrate lightning throughout my entire arm… then I make it circulate through the black sword.
And quickly, I slice the air, and my sword will trace a line even flatter and thinner than a blade.
Tony thought.
………
Hikiri and Aconé exchanged confused glances.
They had seen Tony move after a week, and now he had stopped again.
In an attacking stance, the black sword positioned diagonally to his left.
Hikiri: He has a problem.
Aconé: Who knows… maybe he’s cultivating like that…
But the next instant, they saw Tony move.
They almost thought they were hallucinating. From their point of view, it felt as if the black sword were an extension of Tony’s arm.
But what surprised them even more was the crack that appeared on the wall in front of Tony. It might not have been deep… but it was sharp enough to cut a human body in two.
Hikiri: Aconé… did you also not see the blade move?
Aconé answered only with a nod.
Just how far is he planning to go…
They thought.
On his side, Tony felt that he had clearly overdone it.
Even the aether he had been continuously maintaining over his skin dissipated.
His heart was beating so hard that he could hear it with his own ears.
Tony: Well… I guess you could say I really improved it. It feels like I’ve even turned it into a special technique.
When he suddenly felt something move in his lower abdomen.
It was multiple—he had the impression of sensing veins appearing out of nowhere.
Wait… that’s not where the orb I use to absorb aether is located.
Tony thought.
