Chapter 772: Chapter 769: Impartation

Miss narrowed her eyes and instantly captured Lin Tian’s figure, who was rapidly rushing towards the villa’s gate.

Such incredible speed, from stillness to explosive acceleration. Too fast, faster than before, Lin Tian had always been improving! Miss was utterly astonished in her heart.

As this thought flashed through her mind, her figure also swayed, chasing after Lin Tian. In the blink of an eye, both had disappeared into the night. It wasn’t until Lin Tian was out of sight that Kikuchi Mika retracted her admiring gaze, then focused on cleaning up the dishes and utensils.

In the small woods beside the highway, the sound of "bang bang bang" collisions kept coming. The continuous muffled sounds, accompanied by the snapping of trees, belonged to Lin Tian and Miss fighting.

"Miss, you’ve gotten much faster, ah, but unfortunately, you still can’t catch me, hahaha..." Lin Tian taunted with a pun, laughing arrogantly.

"You big pervert, who wants to chase you? Watch me chop you..." Miss chased Lin Tian with her sword, infuriated to the point of gnashing her teeth, yet she just couldn’t stab Lin Tian.

"Sword technique, Soul Chasing Life-taking!" Suddenly, Miss came to a stop, holding her longsword upright with her right hand and shouting loudly.

Upon hearing the shout, Lin Tian curiously turned his head for a glance and saw Miss’s longsword vibrating with a "buzz," forcing out an ice-blue sword light.

She swung her longsword, and three sword lights detached from the blade, cutting towards three different areas on Lin Tian’s body in a ’品’ shape. The appearance of these sword lights reminded Lin Tian of her master’s Sword Energy Cross, with its overwhelming sword lights and shadows, truly terrifying.

The sword light wielded by Xiao Manxue, however, was significantly inferior. Although the Postnatal Perfection Realm was only one level away from the Innate Early Stage, the transition from Postnatal to Innate involved a qualitative change, hence her Soul Chasing Life-taking sword light naturally couldn’t match the Sword Energy Cross.

Nevertheless, the sword lights were incredibly fast. No sooner had they appeared than they were already up close. Lin Tian dodged two sword lights and, intending to test their power, clenched his fist and smashed down.

The fist descended from above and just hit a sword light with a "bang." The sword light was shattered by Lin Tian’s punch and dissipated in the air. But at the same time, he felt a sharp pain in his hand; the back of his hand was already sliced open.

Lin Tian immediately pulled his hand behind him because there was no blood flowing from that wound and it was healing very quickly. If this was seen again, Miss would become suspicious.

He had finally tested the power of the sword light, which was not as potent as the sword light on the blade. However, its ability to attack from a distance and catch the enemy off guard was the real strength of Detached Sword Light. No doubt, this was also an ability Miss had mastered upon advancing to the Postnatal Perfection Realm.

Previously, her realm was too low to emit sword light, but now she could barely do it. If she advanced further, to the Innate Early Stage, she could wield the true Sword Energy Cross.

"Lin Tian, are you crazy, to fight my sword light with your bare hands!" Miss rushed to Lin Tian’s side and reproached him, her tone filled with concern.

"My skin is thick, and sword energy can’t hurt me." Lin Tian casually laughed, even waving his hand in front of her.

Xiao Manxue looked at his hand, truly intact, and couldn’t help but shake her head, saying, "You really are a strange person; I have no idea how you do it."

"Never mind that, when you used Soul Chasing Life-taking just now, it suddenly reminded me of a blade technique that shares similarities with your swordsmanship," Lin Tian said, recalling the sword lights wielded by the Demon Blade.

"Aren’t you practicing the Golden Bell Divine Shield? You know blade techniques too?" Miss glanced at him, somewhat incredulously.

"Just talking without practicing is pretense. Give me your sword, and I’ll show you. As a master of swordmanship, see whether your swordmanship is more formidable or this blade technique is," Lin Tian said with a mysterious smile.

He was, after all, not a practitioner of the path of the sword or a master of swordsmanship, and the Demon Blade Technique would be better taught to Miss, who, with her talent and comprehension, could definitely discern its principles and thus improve her own swordsmanship.

Xiao Manxue saw that Lin Tian did not seem to be lying, which made her even more curious, but she still tossed the sword to Lin Tian.

Lin Tian took the longsword, weighed it, and found it much lighter than the Demon Blade Muramasa and a bit shorter, but both the Demon Blade and the Huaxia longsword were slender, sharing some similarities.

He grabbed the hilt and, with a few "swooshes," began chopping with the longsword as if it were a Tang Sword, making Miss shake her head at the sight.

"Lin Tian, this is a Huaxia longsword, do you think it’s a Tang Sword or a Japanese blade?" Miss said somewhat helplessly, finding it funny that she had actually believed Lin Tian knew swordmanship.

About the Demon Blade, Lin Tian hadn’t explained in detail, so she was unaware of the existence of that sword technique. Faced with Miss’s skeptical look, Lin Tian didn’t explain or contradict her words.

He held the sword with its tip pointing diagonally toward the ground, then closed his eyes, replaying the Demon Blade Muramasa’s techniques in his mind, every move vividly clear.

Miss watched Lin Tian’s sudden quiet demeanor, and doubt rose in her heart again—could Lin Tian really know swordsmanship?

Just as she was thinking this, suddenly, Lin Tian’s eyes snapped open, ablaze with light, causing her to retreat involuntarily until she was ten meters away.

"What a strange aura!" Miss murmured.

"Thousand Illusion One Strike Style!" Lin Tian bellowed, lifting the sword above his head with both hands, its sharp blade glinting with a threatening cold light.

With a "swoosh," Lin Tian struck with the sword as though it were a Demon Blade. As he struck, the longsword suddenly transformed into dozens of dense sword shadows, spreading forward in a fan shape to slash down.

Of course, Lin Tian couldn’t emit Sword Qi, but the Thousand Illusion One Strike Style was physically and spiritually complete, the stirred sword wind slicing the grass into disarray.

As the momentum ceased and the shadows vanished, Lin Tian returned to his standing position, the transitions between motion and stillness as rapid as lightning. There was no ethereal agility of swordsmanship, but it possessed the imposing dominance of blade techniques.

Xiao Manxue stood ten meters away, utterly stunned. Lin Tian had actually performed swordsmanship, and it was tremendously powerful!

"Miss, what do you think of this move?" Lin Tian asked with a smirk, "That’ll show you, little girl. With my zombie’s eye, there’s no Ancient Martial technique I can’t unravel."

Miss seemed to ponder, then after several seconds said, "The martial skill you used, is it a Japanese blade technique?"

"Exactly, you can almost guess from the name, but you see, Japanese martial skills are all derived from Huaxia and only became what they are through continuous changes. There’s nothing different, just strangely named," Lin Tian admitted openly.

"You’re right, Japanese martial skills are essentially learned from Huaxia and modified over time, which indeed allows one to discern many principles," Miss said.

"Hehe, there are several more moves like this, all from the same series of techniques, the Thousand Illusion Blade Technique," Lin Tian said enticingly.

"Thousand Illusion Blade Technique? Are there a few more moves?" Miss’s eyes brightened, clearly showing interest.
