SWNOVELXO Chapter 63: Grasping First Level
"Damn it, it's very hard," Yohan mumbled as he fell onto the ground. The moment Yohan fell, the figure in front of him also disappeared from the soul subspace.
It had been five hours in the soul subspace. Yohan was trying to understand those movements, but his body was not adapting easily, because those moves were very complicated to perform.
"This is very tiring. Because of the extreme gravity, I was not able to move my body to that extent. Despite my cultivation level, I am having this problem, but little by little, I am grasping those movements. I need to push my body to its limit if I want to master the Thousand Steps sword technique," Yohan thought.
After having that thought in his mind, he clenched his fist and removed his robes from his upper body, and the next moment he called for the Asura.
"System, start the tutorial again," he mumbled as he looked towards the sword in his hand, and the next moment the same figure appeared in front of his eyes.
Yohan took a deep breath as he looked towards the figure with a serious gaze, and the next moment the figure started performing the Thousand Steps sword technique.
The figure started moving very fast and in a single move, he connected more than twenty sword attacks. Yohan was taken aback after seeing this, and in the next move, the figure connected more than thirty sword attacks in a blink of an eye. Somehow, Yohan was able to comprehend those moves.
After fifty moves, Yohan's eyes weren't able to follow the movements as they were too fast to follow with naked eyes, but his hand was shaking with excitement.
After performing the Thousand Steps sword technique, that figure disappeared from his sight. Yohan took a deep breath and he tightened his grip around the Asura.
"Partner, let's do this," Yohan mumbled as he looked towards his sword, which was enveloping itself with the dark fire.
Meanwhile…
"It's almost time. This is the best time to kill that young master along with that woman. You are going to kill that woman along with that trash." A man looked towards the assassin who was sitting beside the wall while his hand was on his abdomen.
Hearing those words, his facial expression changed drastically. He looked towards the two figures who were looking at him.
"But master Nicholas told me to kill that boy, he didn't mention that woman." The assassin looked towards those two figures as he said those words.
Hearing those words, the two of them exchanged glances and one of the men approached this assassin and started kicking the assassin.
"How dare you reply to us like that, you bastard? We let you live and you are arguing with us," he mumbled while hitting that man.
The assassin cried in pain. He put his hand on his mouth to avoid screaming so loudly that it would be heard outside that room. The man finally stopped after hitting him more than fifty times.
"Damn it, this assassin is very stupid, and seeing his face, I want to beat him more," that man said while looking at his partner.
Hearing those words, that man smiled.
"Yes, you are right. I wonder why lord Nicholas is tolerating these people from the Hundred Poison valley. They have just their lethal poison. Apart from that, the valley is full of stupid people like him," that man laughed as he responded to his partner.
Hearing those words, the assassin became furious, but after seeing their threatening gazes, he calmed himself but it was already too late.
"What are you looking at, moron? How dare you look at us like this? You want some more beating, you bastard?" The other man approached the assassin and grabbed him by his neck and started slapping him.
Later, after beating that assassin to their hearts' content, those two men took a deep breath as they became tired.
"This bastard wasted too much time. We have to make our move soon. It's already too late and everyone is almost in deep sleep. This is the best time to initiate our plan." He looked towards his partner as he said those words.
The man who was standing beside him nodded his head and looked towards him.
"You are right, brother, this is the best time to attack him, and if we successfully kill that woman who ran away from lord Nicholas' grasp, he is going to give us handsome rewards," that man said and a malicious smile appeared on his face as he was thinking about the reward.
Both of these men were busy talking with each other and discussing their rewards while the assassin was looking at these two with killing intent and he was cursing these two guys to his heart's content.
"Damn it, bastards, just wait, I'll make sure to pay it back hundredfold what you did to me. I will use you as my decoy. After killing that young master and that woman, I am going to kill you both, and I am going to get those rewards for myself," he thought while he was looking at these two.
Meanwhile…
[Congratulations, host! You have successfully learned the first level of the Thousand Steps sword technique]
A notification resounded in Yohan's head as he was standing inside the vast valley. A sword could be seen in his hand and the Asura was burning with fire. His muscular body was drenched in sweat.
A smile appeared on his handsome face and the next moment he opened his closed eyes and tightened the grip around his sword, and the next moment he took an attacking stance. In the blink of an eye, he connected more than thirty sword attacks in a single move. His movements were very fast on the ground and it was impossible to see those moments with the naked eye.
"So, I wasn't able to grasp the full potential of the Thousand Steps sword technique, huh," Yohan mumbled.
Ding!
<Host, your body is not going to be able to withstand it if you try to learn more than this. You have already reached your limit. You need to raise your cultivation level before trying to learn the second level of the Thousand Steps sword technique>
Yohan took a deep breath as he heard a notification in his head.
"Yes, it's time to practice one more time before leaving this subspace. It has been three days inside the soul subspace, that means only three hours have passed in the outside world, it's still night out there," Yohan mumbled and he started practicing again.
