[Peak Platinum-tier Sword Technique: the Eternal Sword of Reincarnation]
[Effects: summons a large number of Light and Darkness Reincarnation Swords to unleash a large-scale attack. The attack will not stop before killing the enemy.]
After the fusion, specific information regarding the sword technique surfaced in Watson’s mind. Amidst the black and white vortexes, the Light and Darkness Reincarnation Swords unsheathed and revolved around him; it had turned into a sword aura storm. The space enveloped by the sword aura turned from day to night. It rotated non-stop. The crowd was stunned when they saw that.
“What kind of sword technique is that? It doesn’t seem to be the Infinite Sword Slash that Master had demonstrated. Instead, it looks a bit like the Light and Darkness Reincarnation Sword. Maybe Watson didn’t learn Master’s sword technique and used another sword technique instead?”
Some of the trainees muttered to themselves in puzzlement.
They had seen that the sword technique that Reid had taught Watson was the Infinite Sword Slash. That was Reid’s signature skill, and many of the disciples present knew it. Furthermore, they had also seen Reid asking whether Watson had learned it or not. If he could not learn it, then he would demonstrate it again.
“Since Watson didn’t release the Infinite Sword Slash, it means that he did not learn it. If he didn’t learn it, then why did he say that he had learned it? That is not right. Master hates liars. It seems that Watson is going to be scolded by Master. Eldest Senior Brother, what do you think?”
One of the disciples asked Samuel arrogantly.
“I—”
Samuel looked hesitant. He had the same thought. He wanted to see Reid scold Watson so that Christina would know that Watson was not that outstanding, but he felt that something was wrong.
“Watson, may I ask the name of the move you used? It doesn’t seem like the move I just taught you.”
Reid did not hear the words of his disciples in the distance and asked with a straight face.
Watson thought that he was dissatisfied with his unauthorized fusion of the sword techniques. He scratched his head and revealed an awkward expression. “I’m sorry, Master. That move is called the Sword of Eternal Reincarnation. It isn’t really the move that you taught me because I fused the two sword techniques! Master, did I make you unhappy, or is there a flaw in the sword technique that I fused without permission?”
He had fused the sword techniques that his master had taught him. No wonder it looked completely different from the Infinite Sword Slash. No one knew if that was the truth.
All the disciples there had that thought in their minds. They heard Reid sighed. “Watson, you really are a natural talent in swordsmanship. Antonio told me that you could learn everything simultaneously and fuse them into something stronger. I did not believe it at first, but now it seems that I’m ignorant. Looking at you now, I want you to specialize in swordsmanship even more! That bet doesn’t count. Let’s make another bet. I will teach you everything I’ve learned in my life. If you can learn all of that, I will allow you to continue with your other training. If you can’t, then you will have to learn swordsmanship from me. How about that?”
“Master, please enlighten me.”
Watson’s words caused the expressions of everyone there to change. One of the Sword Saint’s disciples muttered to himself, “So, Watson was not lying about fusing the sword techniques. It was true. Can such a thing be done?”
Even learning a platinum-tier sword technique was a difficult thing for them, let alone fusing two techniques. Reid took them as disciples because they had outstanding talents. However, learning a platinum-tier sword technique would take them a few months to a few years.
Samuel’s expression was the ugliest. He initially thought that Watson would make a fool of himself in front of Reid, but in the end, Watson’s talent was too shocking. Watson was the first person to wiggle out of a bet with Reid.
Just as everyone was harboring evil thoughts about that, Reid and Watson began a new round of training.
“The next move is a diamond-tier sword technique that surpasses the Infinite Sword Slash. It’s called the Water Moon Divine Dance!”
Reid stretched his right hand outward and flew into the air. He sent several dazzling sword auras toward the ground with his bare hands. Since his movements were too fast, layers of illusions appeared on Reid’s body as if he had countless clones. When the sword auras condensed, they turned from a gaseous state into a liquid form, which then turned into a long sky-blue river.
That long river was no different from an actual river. However, what formed the river was not water molecules but sword aura molecules. The ground was cut into pieces like tofu, and the air was pierced through wherever the long river passed.
“The next one is a diamond-tier sword technique, Sword Aura Typhoon.”
A long river, formed by sword auras, disappeared as a dark cloud appeared in the sky. That dark cloud was also formed by sword auras, and a strong wind that did not disperse blew right under it. It carried the wind elements that had been extracted from every point in the air.
The bright and clear sky instantly darkened—even the sunlight was blocked. Darkness covered half of the royal city. Reid was like the ruler of the world as he stood in the center.
“He can easily change the rules of the world with just one move. That is the power of a sword saint.”
Watson’s eyes shone.
He could feel that the Sword Aura Typhoon released by Reid changed the weather, and the rules in the air were also distorted. All the rules that had nothing to do with the wind attribute and the way of the sword were eliminated entirely, leaving only useful rules. Watson had a feeling that the power of the sword and the wind elements would increase by several times in that kind of environment, and that was just Reid’s casual sword attack.
If he were to be serious, Reid’s sword aura would stack and gradually eliminate the surrounding rules that had nothing to do with the sword. Reid would become stronger, and his opponent would become weaker.
Then, Reid retracted the Sword Aura Typhoon and descended from the sky. He said, “Watson, can you learn those two moves?”
Reid’s eyes flickered. If Watson could learn multiple platinum-tier sword techniques in one go, then what about diamond-tier sword techniques? Could he also learn them?
“I’ll try my best, Master.”
Watson began to fuse the two sword techniques he had just learned in his mind.
[Congratulations, Master, for successfully fusing two diamond-tier sword techniques. You have obtained the peak diamond-tier sword technique, Myriad Lightning Fall.]
Following the fusion of knowledge, Watson subconsciously raised his right hand. The dark clouds that had disappeared gathered again; it was even denser than before. Streaks of silvery-white lightning flashed through the clouds, and a slightly slender lightning bolt struck the Sword Saint’s courtyard. It blasted a deep pit about a hundred meters into the ground. The gravel in the deep hole was crushed into dust before it could even rise.
Those bolts of lightning were not real lightning but condensed sword aura in the shape of lightning.
The Water Moon Divine Dance was a water-elemental skill, while the Sword Aura Typhoon was one with wind elements. The combination of the two elements created the lightning’s rule.
The power of a lightning strike was greater than a thousand tons. At that moment, the sound of thunderstorms exploded in the entire capital. Only the glittering silver snakes could be seen in the pitch-black night sky, as if it was the end of the world.
“That’s good!”
Reid did not even need to ask about that. He already knew that Watson had mastered his techniques. He immediately released different diamond-tier skills.
“Diamond-tier sword technique, Starfall Sunset! Diamond-tier sword technique, Unfettered Supreme Sword! Peak diamond-tier sword technique, Space-piercing Slash!”
Numerous sword techniques with rules descended from the sky and landed in front of Watson. Within a short period, Reid had released dozens of techniques.
Watson activated the fusion system, allowing that vast knowledge to collide and refine in his mind.
[Congratulations, Master, for integrating dozens of diamond-tier sword techniques. You have obtained a starlight-tier sword technique—Kingdom of the Sword.]
[Starlight-tier sword technique: Kingdom of the Sword]
[Ability: You can temporarily create a kingdom of the sword, covering an area as far as the eye can see. During that period, you can exclude any rules in the kingdom that have nothing to do with the sword. The power of the sword technique released will be increased by ten times. Anything other than sword-elemental kills can’t be released.]
[Additional abilities: Return of the 10,000 Swords (deliver the judgment of the divine kingdom to the enemy, expending all of your abilities to cause starlight-tier damage, which can cause damage to divinity), Ruler of the Sword (you will own all sword-elemental weapons within the divine kingdom, and at the same time, you will be immune to all damages from a sword attack).]
After the information appeared in his mind, Watson extended his right hand outward. An illusory, giant sword-shaped kingdom suddenly appeared above the entire courtyard. That realm was enveloped in a large amount of power of faith. It would not matter if one were a platinum-tier elite or an ordinary person; they would tremble when they saw that kingdom.
That giant sword-shaped kingdom was almost exactly the same as the kingdom that Reid had released previously.
Plop!
No one knew who was the first person to kneel on the ground. Following that, Reid’s disciples, including Samuel, all knelt and looked up at the Kingdom of God above their heads.
“Excellent! I remember that the Kingdom of the Sword is one of Master’s strongest sword techniques. Watson had actually learned it. How is that learning? That is stealing other people’s abilities onto himself.”
One of the disciples’ lips trembled as he sighed.
Many disciples had similar thoughts. Even the light in Samuel’s eyes dimmed. After seeing Watson’s powerful strength and outstanding talent, he did not give up on competing with Watson. However, Watson’s rapid learning of platinum-tier swordsmanship had already dealt a blow to him. One could almost say it was a fatal blow.
His self-esteem had been completely destroyed. No matter how brave he was, he could not compare to Watson at that moment. That Watson was not a human but a monster.
After releasing the Kingdom of the Sword, Watson felt that the commotion was a little big. He immediately withdrew his sword technique and looked at Reid. “Master, I’ve learned all the sword techniques you taught me. What should we learn next?”
“Well, we won’t learn more for now. Since you’ve learned so much, you should be tired. Let’s take a break first.”
Reid’s lips twitched when he heard Watson’s question.
“It’s okay, Master. I’m not very tired yet. I think that I can still continue with the training.”
‘Well, I’m tired,’ Reid shouted inwardly. That was too weird. In just a short while, the young man had already learned the Kingdom of the Sword. If he were to continue teaching Watson, then the boy could become the next Sword Saint!
“Everyone, go and rest. I’ll give you a day off. I’ll inform you about the training time tomorrow.”
Reid pretended not to see Watson’s burning gaze and left the training ground as if he was flying. He felt that he should have a good chat with Antonio.
