Chapter 58 - Dual-Life-Sword!

[Ding, you have opened a C-rank treasure chest x1, B-rank treasure chest x1.]

[Special permissions detected!]

[You have obtained 'Blank Skill Book' x1, 'Soul Armament Seed' x1.]

['Blank Skill Book']

[C-rank item]

[Can write one's own skill into the skill book for others to learn and use.]

[The success rate of skill learning and the strength after learning depend on the item level and the user's aptitude.]

['Soul Armament Seed']

[B-rank item]

[Can be nurtured in the soul, waiting for the right time. When encountering special opportunities, the seed will transform into a soul armament.]

Luke looked at the two items in his hand, one a blank book, as the name suggests, and the other seemed to be the seed of some plant.

Both items are in line with the level of the treasure chest, and there was no sudden burst of luck.

As he had guessed earlier, neither of them seems to be something he can immediately use.

Casually, he put the 'Blank Skill Book' into his portable pocket. He intended to store this book away for now; who knows when it might come in handy.

This kind of item, resembling inheritance or teaching, is a good choice whether placed in the main god space for trading or taken into the mission world to promote the plot.

After putting away the 'Blank Skill Book,' Luke looked at the 'Seed' in his hand.

After a brief observation, Luke did not gain more information from its appearance. This 'Soul Armament Seed' looks no different from an ordinary plant seed.

On the prompt that popped up in the main god space, Luke chose 'confirm use.' The seed then directly entered Luke's forehead and sank into his soul.

At this moment, Luke, who still lacked the means to observe his own soul, couldn't feel anything about this 'seed' sinking into his soul.

After moving his body a bit and using special powers such as prana and sword qi, without finding any effect, Luke gave up looking for this 'seed.'

After all, at this stage, the soul aspect is indeed not his forte.

The information about the main god space and upcoming missions is almost sorted out, and the treasure chest has now been opened.

Since Luke went to find Yas and others immediately after the mission settlement, even considering the group's chatting and playing around, not much time has passed.

After dealing with urgent matters, it's time to resume daily training.

So Luke pushed open the door again and came to the training ground of the main god space.

As mentioned before, the facilities in the main god space are divided into sections based on the level of the agents.

The C rank training ground can be set in three different modes.

One type is the most common blank training ground, which has a vast space and numerous basic equipment. This mode is also the only one available for D rank agents.

The second type is the 1v1 mode that Luke has used before.

In this mode, agents can choose one of their skills as a template. The training ground is responsible for projecting a character puppet holding that skill.

However, the training ground is still a training ground and not a place for in-depth combat experience.

The projected character puppet only possesses the skill selected by the agent and a matching character appearance.

They don't have much intelligence or combat experience; they are purely for training.

The training ground is focused on the 'training' aspect throughout, never becoming an actual 'battle.'

The third mode is one against many. In the 1v1 scenario, the number of characters can be increased, with the upper limit being restricted by the agent's level. For C rank, the maximum is 10 characters.

These are the three modes that the C rank training ground can offer.

Since Luke has not yet completed the upgrade task, even with B rank strength, he can only access the functionalities of the C rank training ground.

However, for him, the functionalities of the C rank are already sufficient.

Luke uses the training ground at most for daily exercises and maintaining the proficiency of his swordsmanship to prevent his skills from getting rusty.

If he really needs to engage in a battle, the puppets in the training ground, lacking combat intelligence and experience, can't provide any help.

Luke has also tried using the privilege of the "Authority Holder" to temporarily use the B rank training ground by consuming redemption points.

In the B rank training ground, the upper limit for the number of characters in the one-against-many mode is increased to 100, which can be said to be of certain help for the training of multi-party battles.

However, the combat intelligence of the character puppets does not see any obvious improvement.

It seems that the definition of the training ground by the main godspace is essentially locked into the concept of "training."

Besides, the B rank training ground introduces a new feature.

It allows simulating a certain degree of environmental conditions in the blank training ground.

Of course, there are restrictions to the simulation.

For instance, you can simulate high-temperature environments but not lava.

You can simulate low-temperature environments but not glaciers.

Perhaps at higher levels, the upper limit of environmental simulation will also increase accordingly.

The most useful feature for Luke is the simulation of gravity environments with an upper limit of 2 times.

However, boosting temporary privileges requires consuming thousands of redemption points daily, making it unsustainable for him to use this feature for daily training. He can only occasionally experience it.

This time returning to the main god space, unlike the previous time, Luke has a full fifteen days of rest time.

At present, with Shigure-Soen-Ryu and Hiten-Mitsurugi-Ryu, Luke is considered to have reached a high level of swordsmanship mastery. He has even developed new sword techniques based on the original moves.

However, the Dual-Life-Sword, which he later acquired, hasn't seen a breakthrough despite three years of practice.

This is due to the lack of a suitable second sword and a proper sparring partner for this "non-human" swordsmanship.

The Dual-Life-Sword technique is not a swordsmanship practiced by humans, so many of its principles and techniques for generating force differ from Luke's understanding of conventional swordsmanship.

Now back in the main god space, the character puppets in the training ground, even without combat intelligence, can undoubtedly use this swordsmanship correctly.

Engaging in simple sparring, regardless of the outcome, will significantly aid Luke in mastering the Dual-Life-Sword.

During the half-month break in the main godspace, Luke's primary goal is to make some progress in the Dual-Life-Sword technique.

Secondly, he aims to find a second sword that he can temporarily use in the trading area.

The other weapons in Luke's possession, such as the Tachi · Shimizu and the Tachi-type Lux, can no longer keep up with his strength.

The only one that can still be reasonably used is the C-rank Reverse-Blade Sword·Soul Nourishing, but it's still somewhat inconvenient.
