Chapter 21 - Water Sense (1/2)

Sword Intent. Will wasn't quite sure what this was, or what it could do. All he knew was that this was necessary for a true strike to occur. According to the SSS manual, a true strike needed three things; technique, intent, and qi. Will was first polishing his technique because as far as he was concerned that was the easiest to do. However, it was also the most time-consuming.

The only way to improve one's technique in Will's situation was to practice. So for who knows how long, Will had been doing ten thousand repetitions of the same sword strokes over and over again. Seasons came and went. As far as he could tell this was the third time it was snowing, so Will was guessing that he had spent three years practicing.

It wasn't all boring. As soon as Will started to practice, Modus started sending Will some 'guests'.

”Roar!”

A deafening roar echoed out across the snowy flatlands. It was so violent that the trees nearby Shook's and the snow that had collected on them fell off immediately. Even after the roar the trees still continued to vibrate slightly, showing the impressive might of the beast to come.

”Ah, it seems today's guest is here,” Will said with a grin. ”Well then let's see what we have.” After doing one more sword stroke Will turned his head to the direction from which the sound came from. After a few moments, a large creature with the head of a lion and what seemed to be the body of a snake appeared in sight.

[Lion Snake: An intelligent solo hunter that never gives up on its target once it has chosen. It is very fast and has a highly toxic poison.

Rating: E+

As Will read this he couldn't help but smirk.

It probably has high attack and movement speed coupled with incredible agility and flexibility. Odds are it has a poor defense. Tsk, this looks like an easy one!

Will shook his head in disappointment; nevertheless, he took his stance and got ready for his opponent to attack. Ever since his battle with the Storm Wolves Will has been developing his abilities to the fullest after he started cultivating he was met with a surprising development.

Cultivation did not increase his yuan whatsoever! No matter how long Will cultivated his yuan quantity never increased, although there were noticeable differences in the yuan itself. As time went on it seemed to become thicker and thicker. If at the beginning we could say it was a thin gas, now we could say it was on the verge of becoming a liquid within is dantian.
