The unification of the rabbit-headed man Sword 2 was a success as well. The number of god sequence chains he mastered was 31. It was only two fewer than Sword 1.
The difficulty of his unification process was no lesser than Sword 1. However, he passed through the stages relying on his stunning speed and explosive agility.
At the same time Sword 2 elevated to Lord, Lin Huang sensed the plateau in his body being lifted again.
“As I thought, my hypothesis was correct!” Lin Huang’s eyes lit up.
He had found the way to continue consolidating more Dao seals.
“So all I need to do is get more people to consolidate Dao seals and elevate to Lord continuously in my Kingdom. With that, I can unlock the encryption of the god sequence chains over and over again, consolidating more Dao seals.”
Although he could not understand the theory behind it, all Lin Huang needed to know was that his hypothesis was correct.
After elevating to Lord, Sword 2 merely familiarized himself with his increased strength while looking at Sword 1 in excitement.
“Let’s spar?”
Naturally, Sword 1 was up for the challenge.
“Sure, I also want to check out my real combat capabilities.”
Sword 2’s rabbit ears turned a little red from the excitement. As soon as Sword 1 agreed, he exerted strength into his legs and vanished directly from where he was standing in a flash.
His main cultivation direction was extreme speed. The inheritance that Lin Huang had given him contained many extreme speed techniques.
Now that he had been elevated to Lord, there was a qualitative transformation of his speed. Given his increased confidence, he could not help but try to challenge Sword 1.
What he did not know was that Sword 1 had obtained another inheritance after elevating to Lord from Lin Huang.
Although he had only studied it for half a day, his understanding of combat was completely different from before.
Though he could not compare to Sword 2 in terms of speed, Sword 1’s attack speed was no slower than his. Not only that, his defense remained flawless.
Lin Huang merely glanced at Sword 1 and Sword 2’s conditions and he could already tell that Sword 1 would win.
He only had a one-word comment regarding the current Sword 1—stable.
That one word alone summed up the reason why Sword 1 was basically undefeatable.
Although Sword 2 had the upper hand in terms of speed and explosive agility, he was clearly not on the same level as Sword 1 judging by the overall progression of the battle.
It was as Lin Huang had expected.
After adapting to Sword 2’s speed, Sword 1 very soon started seizing his opportunities to retaliate.
The frequency in which he took the initiative to attack was less than one-fifth of the time Sword 2 attacked but, each time he attacked, it would strike where Sword 2 was most uncomfortable. He disrupted Sword 2’s battle rhythm over and over again.
Very soon, Sword 2 was dominated by Sword 1.
He could hardly showcase his speed and explosive agility as the battle went on.
The entire battle lasted less than 20 minutes. Sword 1 took over the rhythm of the battle completely, while Sword 2 lost unsurprisingly.
Lin Huang did not leave. He watched the entire battle.
It was not that he did not want to consolidate new Dao seals in the virtual realm. Mr. Gate could only make seven virtual bodies everyday. He had given six slots to his imperial monsters, which was why he could only enter the virtual realm once each day.
He could only wait for the next day if he wanted to enter the virtual realm to consolidate Dao seals again.
“Again!” Sword 2 was unwilling to yield. His pair of rabbit eyes were a little bloodshot from rage.
Sword 1 merely smiled and accepted the challenge.
He had finally broken through to lord-level. In this great world, his opportunity to fight against opponents of the same level would only decrease. Now that there was a battle opportunity sent to his doorstep, it was only natural that he would not let it slip by easily.
Lin Huang shook his head slightly as he watched the two fight again.
This time, Sword 2 lost even faster. He lasted less than 15 minutes before being defeated.
“Again!” He was still unwilling to yield.
Although he had never defeated Sword 1 before, the two spars he had since elevating to Lord-level were the two battles that he lost within the shortest span of time within his personal record. Not only that, he lost terribly in front of the swordmaster.
Sword 1 agreed as usual, but Lin Huang interrupted them.
“Don’t rush into challenges just yet. Take the time to think about how you lost the previous two battles carefully. You’ll only improve if you review the experience before challenging him again, otherwise you’ll just be defeated in even worse ways.”
Lin Huang was also worried that Sword 1 would crush Sword 2’s confidence, so he stopped them.
Sword 1 understood Lin Huang’s intentions instantly. “Calm yourself down and figure it out. You’ll only lose faster when you’re so emotional.”
Sword 2 calmed down immediately after hearing what the two said.
He sat with his legs crossed in the air and began to mentally replay the two battles from before. He did not overlook any of the details.
Not long after Sword 2 started doing so, Lin Huang suddenly lifted his head to look toward the direction of Great Heaven Palace.
Sword 3 had exited closed-door cultivation!
With a thought, Lin Huang teleported Sword 3 over to where the three of them were.
Sensing Sword 3’s aura, Sword 2 snapped out of his state of concentration instantly.
The aura of the tall elephant-headed man with a single arm had far surpassed the intensity he had before entering closed-door cultivation. He was close to the edge of unification.
“Lord Swordmaster.” He merely bowed lightly toward Lin Huang then nodded at Sword 1 and Sword 2 respectively before beginning unification directly.
Lin Huang was not worried about him.
This guy was trained in force-type. His strong points were physical body and strength. His overall ability was no weaker than Sword 2. Judging by his physical strength alone, the success rate of his unification would only be higher than Sword 2.
That was the truth.
After obtaining Lin Huang’s inheritance, Sword 3 was even more stable than before.
His unification went much smoother than Sword 2’s.
Sword 2 could not help but chuckle softly when he saw the damage Sword 3 suffered on his physical body was much lighter than his during the unification process. “A crude man whose brain is made of muscle!”
Lin Huang sensed a further unlocking of the plateau in his Kingdom from Sword 3’s successful elevation to Lord.
The three consecutive experiments confirmed his previous hypothesis completely—In order to consolidate more Dao seals, he would have to get more people to perform unification in his Kingdom.
As soon as Sword 3 completed his elevation, Sword 2 instigated him to challenge Sword 1.
“No. 3, you should spar with No. 1 to familiarize yourself with your increased strength.”
Sword 3 did not think further and simply looked at Sword 1.
Naturally, Sword 1 knew what Sword 2 was thinking. Nevertheless, he did not say no either. He nodded at Sword 3. “Let’s spar. It’s indeed been a long time since we did so.”
Sword 3 said nothing and charged forward directly after grabbing his sword.
The battle between the two soon broke out in the air.
It was much more interesting than the battle between Sword 1 and Sword 2.
Sword 3 was adept in the extreme force-type. Surprisingly, Sword 1 chose to fight him with force.
Naturally, it only seemed like he was doing that. In reality, Sword 1 had used more skills than Sword 3 did.
The battle lasted over three hours before Sword 3 was finally defeated.
“You must’ve gone easy on him, right?” Sword 2 said to Sword 1 while looking pissed.
Sword 3 lasted much longer than he did against Sword 1. It proved that Sword 2’s ability was weaker than Sword 3.
“I didn’t, I only changed the mode of response. I didn’t fight him with anything that would suppress him,” Sword 1 said while shaking his head.
He then turned to look at Sword 3. “Once more?”
Sword 3 nodded lightly and attacked without hesitation.
This time, Sword 1 changed to a more stable mode of response. He was using a defensive counter-attacking stance this time around.
Approximately half an hour later, Sword 3 was defeated again.
He chose to halt the challenge after being defeated twice. He walked to the side in silence and began to mentally replay the two battles.
Witnessing that, Sword 2 said nothing anymore and began to mentally replay the battles with his eyes closed.
Within half an hour, Lin Huang lifted his head again toward the Great Heaven Palace’s direction. “Xiao Ba?”
It was Sword 8 who got out of closed-door cultivation this time.
