Jack still had the common sword Elder Maniac gave him. He was now holding this sword as he got into a ready stance.
"Are you ready?" Jack asked.
"I'm always ready. Anytime you like," Elder Maniac replied.
Jack lunged forward and slashed. He was doing a normal slash. The same as before, he sensed no impact from his slash.
"You are still doing the same thing. Perhaps you haven't learned enough?" Elder Maniac said with a disappointed tone.
Jack didn't respond to the elder's criticism. He was contemplating. He expected his slash to fail. He was doing it to understand the true nature of Elder Maniac's defense mechanism. After being aware of the existence of the hyperspace inside this trial, he could sense what was truly going on during his slash.
Sorry, folks. I have to reduce the number of chapters I post again. Things are getting more hectic with my routine job. I will now back to the old format where I post only 1 chapter a day, but I will post every day including Sunday and each chapter will be 1500 words long (so I can join the win-win again).
Counting the words, it will equal to me reducing 1.5 chapters from what I currently post. Currently, 1 week = 12 chapters x 1000 words = 12,000 words. Starting tomorrow, 1 week = 7 chapters x 1,500 words = 10,500 words.
Sorry about this, and thank you for reading! :)
