Chapter 245 Sword Intent

Fang Yue was excited. He looked at the shadows in the black mist that were a little further away from him, continuing his efforts.

This time, Fang Yue found that he stared at the shadows for almost five minutes before finally comprehending a sword technique!

And this time, the sword technique he comprehended was actually…

“System notification: Congratulations to player [Night Dawn] for comprehending [Han Kong Swordplay/Innate]!”

That’s right! It was actually a sword technique of the Innate realm!

With just one glance, Fang Yue was instantly excited.

You must know, his Dark Moon Saber Art was only of the Innate realm!

However, after carefully opening the attribute list, Fang Yue found that [Han Kong Swordplay] was a third-rate Innate sword technique, incomparable to the Dark Moon Saber Art.

Moreover, unlike the dense circle of shadows around him before, the shadows in the distance were significantly fewer in number, only a few dozen. Some were not even complete shadows, but only half a body, like ghosts. Their upper bodies were dancing swords, but their lower bodies were missing entirely.

They were, after all, formed from black mist, so Fang Yue didn't think too much about it.

However, when he was learning the sword technique of the second shadow, he found that sword lights would flash in front of him from time to time.

A moment of distraction…

Buzz!

Fang Yue's heart stirred. He released the protection of the [Ghastly Garment], and the black silk withdrew to his back, forming a self-rotating black halo.

Fang Yue then continued to watch the second Innate shadow.

Buzz!

The second sword light appeared quickly enough. Having prepared himself, Fang Yue was able to avoid it, but he did not dodge, instead facing it head-on!

Tear!

After learning all the sword techniques of the thirty or so Innate shadows, Fang Yue discovered a problem: all the Innate sword techniques were only hovering between second-rate and third-rate Innate. Not a single sword technique was a first-rate Innate technique!

At the same time, most of the second-rate Innate sword techniques were incomplete, just like those shadows with only upper bodies and no lower bodies. The sword techniques were only half-there. Even if Fang Yue fully learned them, he only learned a broken move.

Fang Yue didn't quite understand what was going on, but he felt that his understanding of the sword dao was already about seventy to eighty percent of his understanding of the saber dao.

Without more shadows to learn from, if he wanted to improve his understanding of the sword dao, all that was left was…

Buzz!

A sword light came head-on. Fang Yue didn't dodge or avoid it, enduring the damage.

Tear—

Blood spurted from his chest, leaving a long, diagonal wound. Vaguely discernible characters seemed to materialize around it, and Fang Yue's understanding of the sword dao rose another level!

This improvement was very obvious. It was like the progress bar, which was originally increasing slowly at 1% or 2%, suddenly had a large boost, increasing by two 20% progress bars at once. His understanding of the sword dao was suddenly pulled up.

However, the injury was also very obvious.

Fang Yue looked down. The injury on his chest was already quite serious. A few more times, and he might be in danger.

The upper limit of the sword light's power seemed to be much greater than Fang Yue had thought.

Fang Yue was just about to endure two more sword lights of this intensity before donning the [Ghastly Garment] in time to deal with the giant insect cocoon when the parchment suddenly popped out of his mind.

[Eeeeee?]

[Fang Yue, what are you doing?]

Even though it was just text appearing, an image of a cute girl making a telescope with her hands, widening her eyes, and making a cute voice seemed to appear in Fang Yue's mind.

Slightly shaking his head, Fang Yue quickly threw the imaginary scene that had popped up out of nowhere out of his mind.

"Why did you pop out?"

[Hehe!]

[I just finished absorbing the nutrients of the cheater and came out for a stroll!]

[By the way, are you committing suicide?]

[I didn't expect you to have such a hobby!]

[It's okay, the great and noble parchment will always lay the foundation for you in my heart!]

Suicide?

Fang Yue was stunned.

What does that mean?

[Eh? What what does that mean? Aren't you committing suicide?] 看書溂

The hell I'm committing suicide!

[Then why aren't you dodging the sword lights?]

[Don't you feel it? The injuries on your body are not ordinary injuries. These are sword injuries containing sword intent. In a sense, they are similar to [Ghastly Curses]. They are not ordinary injuries.]

Fang Yue's heart skipped a beat.

Damn it!

Why didn't you say so earlier!

[What say so earlier? I just woke up!]

[Feeling wronged!]

[Wuwuwu, what did Paper Paper do wrong? You scolded me as soon as I woke up!]

The image of a cute girl puffing out her cheeks in a temper seemed to float in his mind.

Fang Yue quickly said, "It's not your fault, it's not your fault, it's my fault, okay? Then what should I do? This sword injury is a great tonic!"

[I'm not talking to you anymore! Go ahead and kill yourself with the tonic! Humph!]

"Don't! We're so close! I was wrong, okay? Help me analyze the situation!"

Fang Yue thought that the parchment was really ignoring him, but unexpectedly, it popped out again in less than two seconds.

[Okay, I'm not angry anymore! This Paper Paper forgives you, after all, it would be troublesome for me if you died.]

…So easy to coax.

[Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!]

[If you talk nonsense again, I'll ignore you!]
