1353 You Are Such a Nice Person (2/2)

”Ultimate dao-type...”

Lin Huang raised his brows when he heard that; his ultimate dao-type was actually the strongest of his three cultivation directions.

”My level isn't hard. As long as the person attempting to pass can hold out for an hour, they'll pass this level.” Seeing that Lin Huang had not spoken for a long time, Sword8 hurriedly informed him of the rules for passing the Eighth Palace.

”Could we start now?” Seeing that his opponent did not seem to have any intention of fighting and also that she was a 'little girl', Lin Huang did not really want to launch a surprise attack first. As a result, he had no choice but to ask a question like this to give the other party time to prepare before battle.

Sword8 hesitated for a moment; she looked torn for an instant before asking softly, ”You don't want to chat for a while more to delay things?”

Lin Huang shook his head, unable to stop from chuckling—so that was how this girl was going to throw the game.

”Are you from the Succession Sect?”

”What sect?” Sword8 looked blank.

”Don't you have a Succession Sect and a Regression Sect within the ranks of the Sword Servants? Don't tell me you're in the Regression Sect?” Lin Huang was a little surprised.

”Regression Sect?” The expression on Sword8's face showed that she was completely at a loss. After thinking for a while and coming to no conclusions, she looked up at Lin Huang and asked, ”Do Sword Servants have to join a sect? Which sect do I belong to?”

Lin Huang was left speechless. The girl seemed completely unaware of the existence of the sects within the Sword Servants' ranks.

However, based on her reaction, Lin Huang could hazard two quick guesses.

Either the girl had superb acting skills, enough that he could not see any traces of subterfuge, or she was so innocent that other Sword Servants did not have the heart to drag her into either faction. As a result, she had no idea about the warring factions within the ranks of the Sword Servants.

For the time being, Lin Huang was still unable to judge whether the girl was the former or the latter.

”I'm just kidding, you don't have to take it seriously.” Lin Huang did not want to continue going round and round on this topic with Sword8 and chose to gloss over it instead.

”Oh you were only joking; it scared me!” Only then did Sword8 feel relieved.

”I think we've had enough time to chat. If we continue any more, it will be too obvious that you're throwing the game,” Lin Huang reminded his opponent that this was a Trial.

”I would have forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it. If it's too obvious that I'm throwing the game, Sword1 will scold me.” Sword8 smacked her head hard, finally seeming to remember what she was here to do. ”Thank you for your reminder, you're such a nice person!”

Lin Huang was speechless for a moment; he certainly had not expected that he would be given a 'nice guy' label during the Trial.

”Are you ready?” Sword8 asked Lin Huang, ”If you're not ready, I can wait for you a little bit longer.”

Lin Huang was rendered completely speechless by this little girl.

”I'm ready, go ahead and attack!”

As soon as Lin Huang finished speaking, he saw that Sword8 was suddenly wielding a battle sword. What surprised Lin Huang was that it had a broken blade. The original length of the long sword should have been least one and a half meters long, but the blade had broken off about a third of the way down. The fracture mark was clearly visible; what was left of the blade measured only about 40 centimeters, give or take.

”You don't need to be surprised. My original weapon was a broken sword. I'm used to that, so now that I'm a guardian here, I set my weapon to be a similar broken sword.'

Lin Huang felt his heart sink a little when he heard that. If his opponent could get to the position of Sword8 using a broken sword, it was more than enough to indicate her real abilities were much higher than her current position.

This was because a broken blade could not possibly have a complete sequence rule.

Under normal circumstances, Sword Servants serving under Great Heaven were unlikely to use god sequence relics with incomplete sequence rules. This meant that Sword8 might have achieved her position under the circumstances during which her weapon lost its sequence rule power.

These thoughts flashed through Lin Huang's mind. The next moment he saw that Sword8 had gripped her battle sword horizontally in one hand; she suddenly exerted a burst of power with both legs and her figure vanished right away…
