The battle with Sword3 was the most stressful one that Lin Huang had felt so far.
Not only was Sword3 extremely powerful in force-type, but his ultimate dao-type was also at the same level as Sword8. He completely crushed Lin Huang.
If not for the speed advantage of rapid speed and the fact that his Sword Dao true meaning was stronger than his opponent's, Lin Huang might not even have had a chance to contend with Sword3.
After losing the first head-on collision, Lin Huang chose to dodge Sword3's attacks using rapid speed or ultimate dao-type as much as possible. He no longer used head-on confrontation or defense.
Therefore, most of the time, he was suppressed by Sword3. Occasionally, when he found a gap in his opponent's attack rhythm, he would use rapid speed to counterattack. However, due to the strength of Sword3's ultimate dao-type, even if his speed was not as good as Lin Huang's, his defensive sword skills prevented Lin Huang from doing anything.
On the other hand, when Lin Huang could not dodge in time, he would occasionally suffer minor injuries even if he tried to divert the force of the attack. Fortunately, these minor injuries were almost instantly healed under the effect of Divine Regeneration, so it did not affect Lin Huang's performance.
Time passed day by day. Every day, Lin Huang searched through the inheritances he had obtained for all kinds of sword skills that might be able to deal with Sword3 and verified them one by one.
Under the pressure brought on by Sword3, the number of sword skills he accumulated every day kept growing. He was even learning faster than when he was fighting Sword10.
In just over two hundred days, the total number of sword skills he had mastered had skyrocketed from over one hundred thousand to two hundred thousand.
Lin Huang originally thought that when the number of sword skills he had mastered reached two hundred thousand, his Sword Dao would break through again. However, his Sword Dao true meaning was stuck at the limit of True Martial Level and had not broken through further.
Even though he had mastered more sword skills, his Sword Dao true meaning had not broken through, and Lin Huang's overall ability had not experienced a metamorphic improvement.
Sword3 also seemed to sense Lin Huang's state. When he saw that Lin Huang was continuing to use him to practice his sword skills, he finally could not help speaking.
"Your Sword Dao has not broken through now. It's no longer a matter of accumulation, but you lack an opportunity to break through, so you've been stuck at the limit of True Martial Level. There's no point in wasting time learning more sword skills. "
"My suggestion is to temporarily put aside the ultimate dao-type and seek a breakthrough in another direction!"
Sword3 merely reminded him and did not elaborate further.
In fact, Lin Huang was also aware of the reason why his Sword Dao true meaning had not broken through. He had originally thought of simply using Sword3 to accumulate more sword skills. When his accumulation far exceeded the requirements for a breakthrough, he would then forcibly break through the Sword Dao barrier.
It was like a river that was blocked by a dam. Since the dam didn't collapse, then I would pour the river higher than the dam. Naturally, it would overflow. However, to accumulate to this extent, it might not be something that could be achieved in the next two hundred days.
Lin Huang, who had originally wanted to fight a protracted war, felt that what Sword3 said made sense after he was reminded by Sword3.
On a real battlefield, brute force was not the solution. It was better to use one's brain.
He might be able to make it through this time, but what if he encountered something he couldn't make it through in the future?
With that in mind, Lin Huang began to think of other countermeasures.
'The improvement of the ultimate dao-type has been temporarily blocked. I'll set it aside for now. If I want to break through further, I'll have to start with rapid speed and force-type. However, Sword3 can no longer pressure me with rapid speed. Therefore, for now, I can only start with force-type … '
'Force-type …' Lin Huang muttered silently in his heart. The first thing that flashed through his mind was the image of Thunder roaring and flames bursting. Then, his eyes suddenly lit up.
'Among the various elemental powers, Thunder and Fire Element skills are relatively easy to produce force-type effects. At present, the force-type rules that I've mastered are only the Superhuman God Rule and the Thunder Element Heavenly Punishment Enlightenment. If you want to improve it further, you can start with other Lightning Skills or Fire Elemental Skills. "
'My Lord of Thunder skill originally came from Kelly. However, among my summoning beasts, besides Kelly, there's also Thunder who has mastered Thunder Element skills. Those who have Fire Element skills include Charcoal, Sanguine Robe, and Imp … '
Lin Huang glanced at his character panel again. On the page of the Monster Skill Tree, the main skills were clearly listed. There were a total of 23 types.
'Divine Telekinesis, Holy Power, Divine Regeneration, Divine Strength, Divine Defense, Divine Disguise, Divine Witchcraft, Elemental Immunity, Leech Pods, Absolute Control, Purification Divine Light, Revival, Immortal Warrior Body, Vampire Particles, Lord of Thunder, Mirror, Doll Forbidden Skill, Punishment, Knight, Integration, Mechanical Building, Mechanical Recovery, Evil Blood Substitute.'
When he was on immortal-level, Lin Huang had 30 Monster Skill slots. After elevating to imperial-level, the number of skill slots had increased to 50. However, he had never filled in the empty skill slots.
The main reason was that Lin Huang had sufficient abilities and he did not particularly want to obtain any Monster Skill, so he simply left the skill slots empty. He thought that it would not be too late to extract a skill when he really needed it.
"Xiao Hei, I want to extract Charcoal's Evil Flame, Sanguine Robe's Hellfire, Imp's Abyssal Black Fire, and Thunder's Lord of Thunder."
"Are you sure you want to consume grade-3 card draw chances x80?"
Under normal circumstances, one would need 10 card draw chances to exchange for a Skill Extraction Card. However, since the Skill Extraction Card was a random extraction, Lin Huang's request for a specific extraction doubled the number of card draw chances. Four specific extractions would require 80 card draw chances.
Lin Huang was familiar with such a rule, so he nodded.
"Confirm!"
Xiao Hei's notifications popped up in the next second.
"Extraction successful!
"Congratulations, you've obtained Monster Skill 'Evil Flame'
"Congratulations, you've obtained Monster Skill 'Hellfire'
"Congratulations, you've obtained Monster Skill 'Abyssal Black Fire'
"Congratulations, you've obtained Monster Skill 'Thunder God'
Glancing at the four newly obtained Monster Skills, Lin Huang's sword skills changed abruptly. He began to quickly integrate the four Monster Skills into his fire and lightning attribute sword skills.
Time passed day by day. Perhaps because he had previously mastered Lightning Elemental Enlightenment, it only took Lin Huang thirteen days to elevate Thunder God to Lightning Elemental Enlightenment — Thunder God.
After that, it took another twenty-eight days to finally transform the fire elemental skill, Evil Flame, into Fire Elemental Enlightenment — Evil Ink.
At this point, Lin Huang's force-type level had finally been elevated to the same level as Sword3's.
Although Sword3 still had a great advantage in ultimate dao-type, Lin Huang's Sword Dao made up for part of the gap.
Moreover, the elevation of force-type allowed Lin Huang's combat style to change from its original retreating and offloading to a head-on collision.
Since his overall ability had been elevated to the same level, the pressure that Sword3 exerted on Lin Huang was also greatly reduced.
Since his overall ability had been elevated to the same level, the pressure that Sword3 brought to Lin Huang was also greatly reduced.
In order to further break through, Lin Huang chose to collide head-on with Sword3 again and again.
Sword3 also cooperatively continued to play the role of sparring partner.
Since the pressure was much less, Lin Huang's breakthrough progress was much slower.
After a full thirty-one days, he had finally elevated his Monster Skill, Hellfire, to Fire Elemental Enlightenment — Inferno.
The moment the Fire Elemental Enlightenment, Inferno, materialized, the battle sword in Lin Huang's hand collided once again with the black sword in Sword3's hand.
This time, however, they were no longer evenly matched.
In the void, the two beams of blood-gray gleam collided with a loud bang. The gray gleam only resisted for a moment before it retreated in defeat and was finally completely torn apart by the blood-red gleam. Almost at the same time, the elephant-headed Sword3's figure shot backward from the gray gleam …
This was the first time in nearly three hundred days that he had been repelled by Lin Huang.
Sword3's figure crashed uncontrollably into a deep pit more than twenty kilometers away, kicking up a cloud of dust on the ground.
However, he had not actually suffered any damage. The physique of a wild beast bloodline was far more terrifying than a True God's body.
Sword3 shook his slightly dizzy head and then got up from the deep pit.
After his figure floated into the air, he had no intention of continuing to fight with Lin Huang. Instead, he put away the sword in his hand and spoke to Lin Huang from a distance.
"You've already passed me."
"Thank you, Senior!" Lin Huang cupped his hands slightly and sheathed his sword. As he looked around for a portal to leave, a bronze gate appeared less than ten meters in front of him and slowly opened automatically.
Lin Huang did not hesitate and strode directly toward the gate …
