Lin Huang's battle with Sword2 could be said to be extremely difficult. He even felt that he could completely retract his statement that Sword3 was the strongest opponent he had ever encountered because Sword2 was much more difficult to deal with than Sword3.
Sword2 completely crushed Lin Huang with only rapid speed. Although Lin Huang knew that his opponent's force-type was not as good as his, there was no room for him to use it at all.
Every day, he was slashed by Sword2 until his clothes were in tatters and he bled profusely. If not for Divine Regeneration, he probably would not have lasted even a day. Just the amount of blood he lost every day was enough for him to die two or three times.
However, under such pressure, his rapid speed Sword Dao was also forced to its limit. It only took him six days to complete a breakthrough in his Thunder Elemental Enlightenment and successfully master Thunder Elemental Enlightenment — Instant Flash.
Even so, in rapid speed, Lin Huang was still beaten up by his opponent.
Sword2's speed was like a beam of light. His rapid speed was truly cultivated to the extreme, so fast that it made all his opponents despair.
Even with another breakthrough in rapid speed, Lin Huang still could not capture Sword2's trajectory and attack route. He did not feel any easier than before.
Fortunately, after the breakthrough in rapid speed, Lin Huang's own movement speed had increased significantly. This also caused him to be injured a lot less each day, and the new sword scars on his body each day were reduced by about eighty percent.
Time passed just like that. Even though he still could not capture Sword2's trajectory, Lin Huang still chose to fight to the death.
After another twelve days, Lin Huang finally upgraded the Divine Light of Purification skill he had obtained from Kelly to Light Elemental Enlightenment — White Horse.
The moment he mastered White Horse Enlightenment, Lin Huang suddenly discovered that he could actually see Sword2's trajectory, albeit barely. This made him ecstatic.
When he saw Sword2 slash at him, the white sword gleam shot toward him like a light arrow. Lin Huang's White Horse Enlightenment was immediately activated, and his entire body turned into specks of blood-colored particles that drifted to the side and then reformed hundreds of meters away.
"White Horse?!" Sword2 was stunned when he saw this. As a powerhouse who had cultivated several kinds of Light Elemental Enlightenment, he recognized the Enlightenment Lin Huang had used at a glance. "Looks like you've broken through again."
"Finally, I can barely track Senior's movements." Lin Huang grinned.
"Is that so?" Sword2's ears moved slightly, and there was a hint of playfulness in the smile on his face.
In the next instant, his figure disappeared again.
But this time, his trajectory was no longer as straight as before. Instead, it began to move erratically, and his voice also came from all directions.
"Can you still track my movements?"
"Uh …"
Lin Huang was a little speechless. The other party had added the Ultimate Dao-Type movement technique to the mix, and his figure instantly became untraceable. However, he quickly came up with a countermeasure in his mind.
"Little Black, extract Thunder's skill — Wind Emperor!"
When Thunder advanced to the Legendary Level, he awakened the bloodline of wind and thunder. In addition to the thunder attribute, there were also many wind attribute skills that he had mastered.
"Host, you have already extracted Thunder's skill twice. This is the third time."
"The third skill extraction requires twice the number of card draws as the second extraction, and the specific extraction cost is also twice the number of card draws as the second specific extraction. That is to say, to extract 'Wind Emperor' this skill, the consumption of card draw times is 80!]
"Are you sure you want to consume 80 card draw chances?!"
Previously, when he had extracted four skills, Lin Huang had only consumed 80 card draw chances. Now, extracting a skill would consume 80 card draw chances. This made Lin Huang's heart ache.
Although the Goldfinger's asking price was exorbitant, Lin Huang did not hesitate too much and nodded.
"Confirm!"
After mastering the Wind Emperor skill, Lin Huang began a new round of advancement practice.
Time flew by, and another 18 days passed. Every day, Lin Huang's advancement experience bar skyrocketed. Under the terrifying pressure brought on by Sword2, the monster skill Wind Emperor finally advanced to Wind Elemental Enlightenment — Heavenly Roc.
With another breakthrough in rapid speed skill, Lin Huang was finally able to keep up with Sword2's speed.
Although he was still slightly inferior to Sword2 in terms of movement speed and sword speed, they were barely on the same level. He could already clearly capture Sword2's movements and attack trajectories.
Without the absolute advantage in speed, Sword2 was only slightly stronger than Sword8 in force-type, far inferior to Sword3 who specialized in force-type.
In ultimate dao-type, although he was much stronger than Lin Huang, he could no longer do anything to Lin Huang.
"Let's end this Trial here." After Lin Huang mastered Heavenly Roc, Sword2 and Lin Huang only fought fiercely for less than an hour before Sword2 voluntarily withdrew from the battlefield, sheathing his sword and standing.
The battle had entered a true stalemate. He could not do anything to Lin Huang, and Lin Huang could not do anything to him, so there was not much point in continuing. Moreover, his job as a sparring partner had been completed, so there was naturally no need to continue wasting time.
"Thank you, Senior!" Lin Huang sheathed his sword and thanked Sword2.
"Don't thank me. As a member of the Inheritance Sect, it's my good fortune to be able to wait for a participant like you to appear. "Sword2 finally stated his position.
"Senior, you flatter me."
"I have to say that you're the most terrifying sword cultivator I've ever seen in terms of talent and potential. Even Lord Swordmaster was far inferior to you in terms of comprehension speed when he was at the same combat level as you. I've never seen anyone who could master Elemental Enlightenment so quickly … "
Sword2's words made Lin Huang blush a little.
It was not that he mastered Elemental Enlightenment quickly, but because he had a cheat code. In order to quickly master various Elemental Enlightenments, he had secretly used the Epiphany Card.
Under the extreme pressure brought about by Sword2's rapid speed sword skill, the cultivation effect brought about by the Epiphany Card had doubled. Three consecutive Epiphany Cards allowed him to complete three consecutive breakthroughs in Elemental Enlightenment in just over a month.
This was also the reason he could master God Rule Power and Elemental Enlightenment so quickly when he faced Sword3 and Sword8.
As early as when Lin Huang encountered Sword10, he discovered that his ability was not enough to obtain the Great Heaven inheritance. In order to maximize the benefits of this Trial, he chose to use the Epiphany Card to improve his ability as much as possible. Even if he did not obtain the inheritance in the end, at least the Epiphany Card would bring him tangible gains.
Moreover, to be precise, the Epiphany Card did not interfere with the fairness of the Trial.
Lin Huang's improvement in ability was a result of his own unremitting efforts; it was not a bonus from external forces.
Even Lin Huang himself had not expected that he would be able to reach Sword2's level and even pass the Trial.
"With the talent and potential you've shown, if the swordmaster were still alive, I think there's a high probability that he would accept you as his disciple directly." Sword2's evaluation of Lin Huang was already very high, but at this point, his ears suddenly drooped a little. "However, the swordmaster has already fallen. If you want to obtain his inheritance, you can only follow the rules now.
"According to the rules, only those who pass the assessment of the Ten Palaces can obtain the swordmaster's inheritance. You've already passed the Nine Palaces of the Ten Palaces, and it seems that you're only one step away. However, in reality, the last step is the most critical and the most difficult step.
"As a die-hard fan of the Regression Sect, Sword1 won't let a participant easily obtain the swordmaster's inheritance …"
