章節 50: Soul Sword
As they approach the two young ladies, Wang Sheng and Huo Chen was quite scared from the fact that they still have an angry look on their face when staring towards them, as if they have yet to forgive the two of them from what they had done previously.
The face of the two young ladies become complicated though as they realize that not only did these two rushed in without hesitation, proving their concern, the two young men also prevents them from offending someone as strong as the immortal-like young man behind the two, someone who can easily solve a problem that nearly killed the two of them, as well as the other cultivators in the room.
Seeing the gaze of the two ladies softens, Huo Chen approaches Bing Xue, hugging her in relief as he thought back to the moment before they entered the room, when he thought that he almost loses the young lady.
Meanwhile, the scene between Wang Sheng and Leng Yue is originally something similar, as if two childhood sweethearts reuniting after being separated if not for Wang Sheng shouting in pain as the lady starts twisting the young man's waist, after his hand's attempt to roam around.
"Ahem…" Wu Xiaotian, finding the situation awkward interrupted the scene by clearing his throat, making the lovebirds push themselves away from each other, the young ladies blushing while his two brothers faking a look all around the room.
"I hate to interrupt on the occasion but more of them are approaching, fast." Wu Xiaotian said as he stares towards the six open doors, the darkness of the hallway behind them highlighting the glowing red eyes of the gigantic rats, their numbers keep on growing, others getting larger and larger as they gradually reach the room.
"Take some of those guys and defend two of the gates, I'll take care of the other four" he commanded as he walks near four of the doors, completely unfazed as he watches the giant rats closing in from the distance.
"Don't be reckless Old Tian, that's too much for even you to handle…" Huo Chen said while trying to approach Wu Xiaotian, trying to convince him out of doing something that he thinks is too reckless.
"Ah Chen is right Ah Tian, let's solve this carefully, we can't let any accidents happening now" Wang Sheng added to push Huo Chen's point more.
"Brothers, have some faith in me, won't you?" Wu Xiaotian replied as he shook his head, pointing at the two young ladies before retorting, "You have your damsels to protect, this generous brother of yours will let the two of you show off in front of them while I clean up these other routes as concealed as possible, so I don't interrupt your shows"
Seeing him still joking around like that, the two felt at ease, jokingly thanking him for letting them show off before going ahead and choosing the doors they would like to defend. Arriving at their desired areas, the two of them were questioned by the ladies.
"Why do you let that friend of yours take those four doors?" Bing Xue asked as she stood beside Huo Chen, calmly waiting for the arrival of the massive wave of giant rats. In Wang Sheng's side, he was also being asked with the same question by the lady standing beside him, Leng Yue.
Smiling confidently, the two of them just continues staring at the giant rats approaching from the distance as they replied with an unwavering voice, "He's more than capable of dealing with them."
Meanwhile on Wu Xiaotian's side, he started spreading his senses out, completely surrounding the entirety of the four hallways beyond the four doors, his senses completely blocked by the jade doors in front at the other side of the hallway.
'There's quite a lot' he thought to himself as he starts counting the giant rats, their numbers reaching the hundreds, completely unaware of his probing.
"Let's get started, shall we?" he muttered to himself as he starts visualizing a sword, the qi in the surroundings starting to form into a sword shape through the guidance of his soul power. As dozens of invisible swords formed, he started sending them in, slaughtering every rat they unfortunately pass through.
'How about using them to perform techniques?' Wu Xiaotian thought to himself, his eyes flashing with excitement. After all, he used his soul power to mold them into swords so he must be also capable of using his soul power to control those swords and perform technique with it right?
As he tries controlling one of them to perform a technique, the movement of the other swords, as well as forming of new ones completely ceased.
'So I need to split my attention and control each personally huh…' he easily found out as he continues trying out this new method of fighting he discovered, feeling his way around as he tries to increase the numbers of swords he can control.
Luckily for him, he's a master of multitasking from back when he was Nyx. As a veteran mercenary, he knows very well how much factor that can affect his missions are constantly happening in the field, so he always partitions his attention to these factors to avoid getting caught off guard in times of mistakes.
As he continues exploring this new battle style, he was able to control more and more swords, eventually capping at thirty-six swords. Using these invisible swords, he unfolded his techniques, mainly different combinations of the forms of his [Chaotic Order Weapon Art], completely overwhelming the rats despite their numbers.
Along with the last of the giant rat within the four hallways he was defending falling down and dying, a pleasant notification appeared in front of his eyes in a form of a semi-transparent golden screen that says the words:
[Congratulations to the user for inventing a new technique, as a reward 1,000,000 Universal Coins was added to user's current Universal Coins]
[Due to the technique not having one similar to it, the user can name the technique]
Inspecting this newly created technique, he also found out that he could turn the ambient qi in the surrounding not only into swords, but also to any other thing so long as he has enough understanding of what he wants to form.
'Hmmm, let's just name it Soul Art' Wu Xiaotian thought to himself as he checks the information about his newly created technique.
[Soul Art (Original)]
[Info: Uses the soul power of the user to compress and turn ambient spirit qi into invisible objects. Depending on the strength of a user's soul power, they can use this art varying from simple throwing, to performing techniques using multiple of the invisible swords simultaneously.]
[Note: Developing the techniques will most likely lead towards a completely new combat style, the user is highly encouraged to do so]
[Progress: Entry State (Each strike performed by the invisible swords contains ten percent of the user's actual strength)]
Reading the description of the technique, Wu Xiaotian is ecstatic because of it. Not only did this technique rewards him with a significant amount of Universal Coins, it is also something that can be considered as a peerless treasure on its own, given the evaluation and note that the system attached to it.
'Not to mention the thirty-six swords is definitely not my limit' he thought to himself as he starts searching the system's shop for techniques that could probably help him in increasing his ability to multitask even further, most of the techniques he saw affordable enough but requires a stronger soul power than what he currently have.
'Let's worry about this later' he told himself as he starts cleaning up, although there's really nothing much to clean up, before going towards the direction of his two sworn brothers who was also starting to clean up their respective battlefields as well.
"Old Tian, you're done as well?" Huo Chen asked in surprise as he saw the immortal-like young man walking towards them in a relaxed pace, seemingly unaffected by the battle that just took place.
"Damn Ah Tian, you're fast, aren't you?" Wang Sheng said, his sentence clearly laced with an inuendo that doesn't get pass Wu Xiaotian's sense.
"How dare I call myself fast in front of the fastest man alive, Brother Wang" Wu Xiaotian replied, dumbfounding the cunning-looking young man and causing Huo Chen to laugh his heart out.
