MONSTER PARADISE

1361-1380

'For now, I think there are only two ways to counter this situation.

'One is to master another rapid speed rule to completely eliminate his advantage in rapid speed sword skill, then force him into a direct confrontation and use my advantage in force-type to make up for my shortcomings in ultimate dao-type.

'Another way is to achieve another breakthrough in Sword Dao. If I can just elevate my Sword Dao from True Martial Level to True Meaning Level, even if Sword1 has a substantial background in ultimate dao-type, I'll be able to pressure him!"

Although theoretical there were two ways to counter the current situation, Lin Huang also knew that he could only rely on luck for the second method. He himself had no idea when his Sword Dao might have another breakthrough.

'From the looks of things, I can only work from rapid speed sword skill...'

After considering this, Lin Huang directed some of his attention to his skill panel.

Previously, Kylie's Lightning Lord skill had enabled Lin Huang to gain two types of rule power-one was Instant Flash in rapid speed, and the other was Heaven's Punishment in force-type.

Thunder's Lightning God skill, however, only enabled Lin Huang to gain insight in Lightning Enlightenment-Lightning God in force-type

Lin Huang only gave it a moment's thought and silently crushed an Epiphany Card.

In the next few days, Lin Huang kept using the Lightning God skill in rapid speed.

Sword1 also noticed Lin Huang's attempts. Having monitored his battles, it was very clear to Sword1 that Lin Huang was trying to comprehend new rule powers.

He was also curious about how long would it take for Lin Huang to master a new rule power this time.

In the blink of an eye, eleven days had passed.

A push notification suddenly popped up in front of Lin Huang.

"Congratulations to the host on mastering the new Elemental Enlightenment-Traceless!"

The moment Elemental Enlightenment-Traceless came into being, Lin Huang suddenly noticed that Sword1's speed had slowed down.

Initially, a second ago, he could only vaguely track the residual images of Sword1's movement. Now, however, he could clearly see Sword1's movement path and his sword trajectory.

Within these eleven days, he had been slashed by Sword1 at least a thousand times and could only evade with difficulty when his opponent attacked. This time though, he could finally wield his sword and block Sword1's white blade.

"Huh?" Sword1 raised a brow, not only because Lin Huang had managed to block his attack, but also because he sensed the change in Lin Huang's aura.

"It only took you eleven days to master a new Elemental Enlightenment... To be honest, although I spied on all of your previous battles and even re-watched some of them dozens of times, I still feel that your speed in comprehending rule powers is completely unreal." Sword1 suddenly retreated and sheathed his sword. He appeared to have no intention of continuing the fight. "If I hadn't seen this happening right before my eyes at present, I might not believe that it was true."

"You've sheathed your sword. Does this mean that I've passed the assessment for this last level?" Lin Huang still held on to his sword. He felt that this level would not end so easily.

"I have no way of giving you an answer to your question right now." Sword1 shook his head slightly. "I do have a question though. If you can answer it, I can immediately let you past this level."
