"You're also a traveler, aren't you?!"
Sword1's words made Lin Huang's heart tremble.
'Sure enough, this fellow sensed something unusual …'
However, he regained his composure after a quick thought and looked at Sword1 in silence. He neither admitted nor denied his identity.
Sword1 exchanged a glance with Lin Huang and did not seem to intend to pursue the matter further.
"Let me experience firsthand how powerful the legendary traveler is!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a long, narrow white sword slowly materialized in his hand, and his aura began to rise terrifyingly.
Lin Huang gripped the hilt of the sword in his hand tightly and released his soaring Sword Dao without reservation.
He dared not be careless in the face of the strongest sword cultivator under Great Heaven's command.
Sword1 patiently waited for Lin Huang's Sword Dao to rise to its peak. The moment Lin Huang's aura reached its peak, Sword1 tapped the tip of his foot and his figure disappeared from where he stood.
"So fast!"
Lin Huang's pupils contracted slightly. Including Seraphic Speed, he had mastered a total of four types of rapid speed Rule Bending Powers. Coupled with the boost from ultimate dao-type, it was almost equivalent to the effect of five types of Rule Bending Powers.
Even Sword2, who majored in rapid speed, was only slightly faster than Lin Huang.
However, Sword1, who was in front of him, clearly majored in ultimate dao-type, but he was a level faster than Sword2 in rapid speed.
He was so fast that Lin Huang's Divine Telekinesis could only catch a glimpse of an afterimage.
Almost at the same time that Sword1's figure disappeared, Lin Huang vaguely saw an afterimage approaching him. His body instinctively activated four types of God Rule Bending Powers, including Seraphic Speed, to evade.
Even so, he was still a step too slow.
A white sword gleam swept past his left shoulder. Not only did it cut open his sleeve, but it also left a sword mark on his left shoulder.
With just one slash, Lin Huang was injured.
"His ultimate dao-type adds at least three levels of Rule Bending Powers to rapid speed …" Lin Huang already knew from Sword2 that Sword1's rapid speed and force-type were limited to three levels of Rule Bending Powers at most. However, even though his ultimate dao-type was suppressed by the trial's rules, it still gave his rapid speed a triple rule effect. "If I'm not mistaken, his force-type will most likely receive the same level of enhancement."
Lin Huang instantly understood what kind of opponent he was going to face next. Not only was his rapid speed and force-type comparable to a sixth-tier rule, but his ultimate dao-type was also miles ahead of him.
'Right now, I'm only slightly stronger than him in force-type. In terms of force-type, I've mastered Level Six Rule Bending Power. With the addition of the polar dao-type, it's almost equivalent to Level Seven Rule Bending Power. So in a head-on collision, he's no match for me … "Lin Huang quickly analyzed his situation. 'In rapid speed sword art, I've only mastered Level Four Rule Bending Power. Even with the addition of Polar Dao-Type, it's only equivalent to Level Five Rule Bending, which is one level lower than him. But the biggest difference between me and him isn't in rapid speed, but in ultimate dao-type … "
"For now, I think there are only two ways to break out of this situation."
"One is to master another rapid speed sword rule and completely eliminate his advantage in rapid speed sword art. Then, I'll force him into a head-on collision and use the advantage of force-type to make up for the shortcomings of ultimate dao-type. "
"The other is to make another breakthrough in Sword Dao. As long as my Sword Dao advances from True Martial Realm to True Meaning Realm, no matter how rich his foundation in ultimate dao-type is, he'll be crushed by me! "
Although there were theoretically two ways to break out of this situation, Lin Huang also knew that the second method could only rely on luck. He did not know when his Sword Dao would make another breakthrough.
"Looks like I can only start with rapid speed sword art …"
At the thought of this, Lin Huang diverted a portion of his attention to his skills panel.
Previously, Kelly's Lord of Thunder skill had allowed Lin Huang to obtain two types of Rule Bending Power. One was the blink flash of rapid speed sword art, and the other was Divine Punishment of force-type.
However, Thunder's skill, Thunder God, had only allowed Lin Huang to comprehend the thunder profound meaning of force-type — God of Thunder.
Lin Huang only pondered for a moment before silently crushing an Epiphany Card.
For the next few days, Lin Huang had been using the God of Thunder skill on rapid speed sword art.
Sword1 had also noticed his attempt. Having watched Lin Huang's battle videos, Sword1 knew very well that Lin Huang was trying to comprehend a new Rule Bending Power.
He was also very curious as to how long it would take for Lin Huang to master a new Rule Bending Power this time around.
Time flew by, and eleven days had passed.
A prompt suddenly popped up before Lin Huang's eyes.
"Congratulations, you've mastered a new Elemental Enlightenment — Traceless!"
The moment the Elemental Enlightenment, Traceless, consolidated, Lin Huang suddenly noticed that Sword1's speed had slowed down.
Initially, he could only vaguely capture the afterimage of Sword1's movements a second ago. Now, however, he could clearly see Sword1's movements and the trajectory of his sword strikes.
Over the past eleven days, he had been slashed by Sword1 at least a thousand times. In the face of Sword1's attacks, he could only barely dodge them. This time, however, he finally swung his sword to block the white blade in Sword1's hand.
"Hmm?" Sword1 raised his eyebrows, not only because Lin Huang had blocked his attack, but also because he sensed the change in Lin Huang's aura.
"It only took you eleven days to master a new Elemental Enlightenment … To be honest, although I've spied on all your previous battles and even watched some of them dozens of times, I still feel that the speed at which you comprehend Rule Bending Power is so fast that it's completely unreal." Sword1 suddenly retreated and sheathed his sword, as if he had no intention of attacking again. "If I hadn't seen this happen right in front of me, I might not have believed it to be true."
"You're sheathing your sword now because you think I've passed the final stage of the assessment?" Lin Huang still did not sheathe his sword. He had a feeling that this stage would not end so easily.
"I can't give you an answer to this question of yours yet." However, Sword1 shook his head slightly. "I have a question. If you can answer it, I can let you pass immediately."
Hearing this, Lin Huang looked puzzled.
Just as Lin Huang thought that Sword1 would test him on knowledge related to Sword Dao and was feeling slightly nervous, Sword1's voice came slowly.
"Have you heard of the Reavers organization?"
This question stunned Lin Huang, then he narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Sword1.
Usually, only travelers knew about the Reavers organization.
He did not really want to admit that he was a traveler in front of Sword1. After all, such a thing was a great secret. Moreover, until now, he was not quite sure what Sword1's purpose in probing his identity was. Even if Sword1 was very certain that he was a traveler, as long as Lin Huang did not admit it himself, Sword1 could not be 100% sure.
However, the current situation was that if Lin Huang denied his identity as a traveler and said that he had never heard of the Reavers organization … How would Sword1 react? Would it affect him obtaining the Great Heaven inheritance?
After some thought, Lin Huang looked up at Sword1 expressionlessly.
"The question you're asking now isn't what your swordmaster asked you to ask, is it?"
"I want to know the answer to this question." Sword1 looked at Lin Huang with a burning gaze. "If you know, please tell me everything you know about the Reavers!"
Lin Huang was silent for a moment. After careful consideration, he nodded.
"I don't know much about the Reavers. I've only heard some rumors …"
