In his battle with Sword8, Lin Huang was almost always suppressed.
Sword8 looked small and harmless, but once she was in combat mode, it was as if she had become a different person. She became extremely fierce, focused, and even intelligent.
Yes, not only was she good at brute force, but she was also very good at thinking in combat mode. She could directly counter most of Lin Huang's moves. Even if there were a few moves that she could not counter, when Lin Huang used them a second or third time, she would always be able to find a way to counter them.
Lin Huang even believed that Sword8 had the most terrifying talent and potential among all the sword cultivators he had seen in all these years.
As for why she was ranked eighth, Lin Huang guessed that there were two reasons.
One was because she used a broken sword, which had no advantage over the other guards under Great Heaven's command. The other possibility was related to her temperament. To some extent, Sword8's temperament was immature; her mind seemed to have remained at the stage of a child.
The ranking of Great Heaven's guards was based on overall ability, and temperament was also one of the factors in overall ability. In this aspect, Sword8 was seriously unqualified, which was probably why her overall ability was only ranked eighth.
When Lin Huang and Sword10 had finished their training, Sword10 had also said that Lin Huang's overall ability should be enough to pass all the stages below Sword3.
After encountering Sword9, Lin Huang had a breakthrough in his Seraphic Speed divine ability. His ability in rapid speed sword skill had skyrocketed, and his overall ability had improved.
Logically speaking, he should not have encountered too many strong obstructions below Sword3.
However, Sword8's performance had indeed surprised Lin Huang at first because he had been crushed in almost all aspects. Apart from having a slight advantage in rapid speed sword skill, Sword8 was stronger than him in almost all other aspects of Sword Dao.
However, after calming down, Lin Huang also understood why Sword10 had not mentioned anything about Sword8.
Although Sword8 was strong, given her temperament, there was a high probability that she would suppress her abilities and let all the challengers pass.
What Lin Huang had encountered was Sword8, who had not suppressed her abilities at his request. She was also a super powerhouse whose ability might have surpassed Sword4.
Lin Huang and Sword8's sparring sessions passed day by day.
Under the immense pressure brought on by Sword8, his level of application and development of different Sword Dao directions such as rapid speed, force-type, and ultimate dao-type improved every day.
In less than a week, he had completed the deep integration of different Sword Dao directions. His rapid speed style was no longer a simple rapid speed style, and his force-type was no longer a simple force-type either. Instead, he was able to combine all kinds of styles at will.
He could add the ultimate dao-type sword skill to his force-type, and he could also perfectly switch between force-type and rapid speed sword skills. He had even learned how to perfectly fuse some rapid speed sword skills, force-type sword skills, and ultimate dao-type sword skills (in fact, the various Sword Dao cultivation directions were not completely independent) …
On the fourteenth day of sparring with Sword8, Lin Huang's control of Thunder Elemental Enlightenment had finally improved further. He had mastered a Thunder Elemental Enlightenment of Violent Flow — Heavenly Punishment.
Perhaps he was under too much pressure from the flow of violence.
On the 33rd day, the Superhuman Strength divine ability finally transformed into the Superhuman Strength God Rule.
At this point, Lin Huang's level of force-type had finally been elevated to the same level as Sword8.
His force-type had been elevated to the same level as Sword8, and his rapid speed was slightly stronger than Sword8's. This allowed Lin Huang to finally elevate his overall ability to the same level as Sword8.
Although Sword8 still had a strong advantage in ultimate dao-type, Lin Huang's Sword Dao was stronger after all, making up for the gap in this direction.
Lin Huang, who had been relying on the Seraphic Speed God Rule to contend with Sword8, finally had the ability to confront Sword8 head-on.
Lin Huang had originally thought of using the pressure brought on by Sword8's ultimate dao-type to make up for his shortcomings in ultimate dao-type.
However, he had not expected that Sword8 would go on strike after less than a day of sparring with him.
"I'm done, it's not fun anymore." Sword8 had been willing to be his sparring partner all this time because fighting with Lin Huang was very comfortable.
In the beginning, she had been suppressing Lin Huang. Later on, Lin Huang's strength had improved, but the pleasure brought about by the combat was still there. Now, however, Lin Huang was forcing her to practice new sword skills. Many of the sword skills were choppy at the beginning, and the smoothness of the original combat was greatly reduced. Sword8 did not find this kind of combat fun, so she went on strike.
Lin Huang smiled and nodded without saying much.
After all, this girl had been his sparring partner for more than 30 days and had even helped him achieve two breakthroughs in force-type, allowing his overall ability to rise to a whole new level. She was already very qualified as a "sparring partner"; there was no need to demand anything more.
"Then I'm done," Lin Huang said as he sheathed his sword, his gaze softening as he looked at Sword8. "Thanks, girl!"
"What are you thanking me for? I should be the one thanking you! " Sword8 sheathed her battle sword as well and looked at Lin Huang with a smile. "Thank you for playing with me. I haven't had so much fun in a long time."
"I have a question. You don't have to answer it if you don't want to." Before Lin Huang left, he suddenly remembered a question of his own. "With your strength, you should be ranked higher among the ten protectors under Great Heaven's command, right? Why are you ranked eighth? "
"Because I like the number eight, so I told Lord Swordmaster that I wanted the name Sword8 and that no one was allowed to fight me for it. Lord Swordmaster agreed." Sword8 had a matter-of-fact expression on her face; she did not feel that there was anything wrong with what she had done.
"Uh, so that's how it is …" Only then did Lin Huang realize that he had been overthinking things.
"Then what about your strength? What's your actual rank? "Lin Huang asked again.
"I can't beat Brother Sword1, and I can't beat Bunny. I've beaten Big Nose a few times, but I know he's letting me win on purpose. The rest of them won't be able to beat me, "Sword8 gave it some thought and gave such an answer.
"Who's Bunny? Sword2? Is Big Nose Sword3? "Lin Huang asked, feeling a little strange.
"Oh no! I promised Bunny that I wouldn't say their nicknames in front of outsiders … "Only when Sword8 heard Lin Huang's question did she realize that she had said something she should not have said, and quickly covered her mouth.
"What nicknames? I didn't hear anything, "Lin Huang laughed.
"Yes, just tell them that you didn't hear anything!" Sword8 nodded quickly.
"…"
"Take care, little girl. I'm going to the next level, "Lin Huang called out to Sword8 and was about to turn and leave when Sword8 called out to him.
"Wait a minute!"
"Is there anything else?" Lin Huang asked, somewhat surprised.
"Your overall strength is okay, but you're still a little weak in ultimate dao-type. I'll give you some sword skills, "Sword8 said and jumped in front of Lin Huang.
She then stood on tiptoe, reached out, and touched Lin Huang's forehead with a finger.
A massive amount of Sword Dao inheritance information was instantly transmitted into Lin Huang's brain.
After Sword8 withdrew her hand, Lin Huang briefly checked the information she had transmitted, and his eyes widened.
Sword8 had transmitted more than 1.6 million sword skills, twice as many as Sword10's inheritance!
The key was that not only did she master more sword skills, but her application and expansion of sword skills far surpassed Sword10's. It was no wonder that this girl was terrifyingly powerful in ultimate dao-type.
"Thank you!" Lin Huang thanked her again.
"You're welcome. If there's a chance in the future, just come and play with me again. "Sword8, who had retreated ten meters away, waved at Lin Huang.
"If there's a chance, I will!" Lin Huang nodded slightly, then turned and walked in the direction of the palace door …
