1360 You and The Swordmaster Are Of The Same Kind (1/2)

”You should have noticed by now that all the guardians below Sword3, except for Sword8, used at most only one type of rule power during the Trial…”

When Sword2 mentioned this, Lin Huang immediately realized something. ”You mean, their powers were restricted?”

”Naturally! The ten bodyguards under the swordmaster are all ninth-rank powerhouses. All of them have mastered nine complete god sequence chains. If those sequences are subdivided into God Rule Powers or Elemental Enlightenment, there would be at least ten or more of them.

”However, the highest level of combat strength that the swordmaster's chosen heir can have is only Virtual God rank-9. At Virtual God level, those who have mastered God Rule Power or Elemental Enlightenment in advance are few and far between. That's why certain restrictions have been imposed for the final Trial of the Ten Palaces. Those under Sword3 are only allowed to use one kind of rule power.

”Of all the guardians, Sword8 was the swordmaster's most beloved bodyguard, so he lifted the restrictions on the multiplier effect of ultimate dao-type on rule power for her. She was also allowed to become a minor BOSS below Sword3. Of course, this is also because the swordmaster understood her personality and knew that she would not hinder the participants.

”As for myself and Sword2, we are the two difficult stages in the trial. Under the restrictions on rule power, we can only use three kinds of rule power at most. Also, the multiplier effect of our ultimate dao-type on rule power is completely unrestricted.”

”So in reality you only used level-3 rule power?!” Lin Huang was shocked when he heard that. ”But the speed of your rapid speed sword skill is much faster than my rapid speed sword skill amplified with level-4 rule power!”

”That's the multiplier effect of ultimate dao-type sword skills. The effect is almost the same as the multiplier of level-2 rule power,” Sword2 explained with a smile. ”Isn't the speed multiplier of your ultimate dao-type close to the effects of level-1 rule power?”

”When Sword3 fought me, he also only used level-3 rule power?!” Lin Huang quickly followed up with another question.

Sword2 nodded slightly.

”What about Sword1? Are there fewer restrictions on his authority than for all of you?!”

”Yes. As the final guardian of the Ten Palaces, Sword1 is authorized to use level-6 rule power. But the good news is that his level-6 rule power is limited to three of each power for rapid speed sword skill and force-type respectively. From this perspective, he is not as good as you currently, whether it be in rapid speed sword skill or force-type.

”The problem is that Sword1 mainly cultivates ultimate dao-type. Even under circumstances where his Sword Dao is restricted, his sword skills are extremely terrifying under the multiplier effects of rapid speed sword skill and force-type.

”Not only that, but he is also a die-hard Regression Sect member; he won't go easy on anyone for this last level.

”There are only two ways to go for you to obtain the swordmaster's inheritance.

”One is to defeat Sword1!

”The other is not to admit defeat no matter how much you've been beaten up; continue until he approves of you!”

The second option sounded truly awful...

Lin Huang was secretly cursing in his heart.

”Finally, regardless of whether you can successfully obtain the swordmaster's inheritance or not, you'd better receive my inheritances first.” As he finished speaking, Sword2 hopped and appeared in front of Lin Huang. He did not pay attention to Lin Huang's objections but put his finger on Lin Huang's forehead and transmitted all his Sword Dao inheritances into Lin Huang's brain.

”Even if you fail the final Palace, if you can get out alive and pass on my inheritances, that would be a good thing too.” After transmitting his inheritances, Sword2 withdrew his finger. ”Although the relevant memories of the Trial will be erased if you fail, the memory inheritances given voluntarily will not be erased.”

”Thank you, Senior!” Lin Huang thanked Sword2 while he bowed slightly.

After saying farewell to Sword2, Lin Huang quickly reappeared in the dense forest of Golden Crow Mountain.

He remained where he was and immediately began to probe his memory.

Sword2 had mastered more than 2.1 million sword skills (above pseudo-mythical level), far exceeding even Sword8.

Just as Lin Huang finished checking his new inheritances, there was a sudden violent dimensional fluctuation from the void.

In front of Lin Huang's astonished gaze, a blood-red palace quickly formed in the void and slowly descended onto the ground.

”What's going on? Shouldn't I be fighting God's Servants first? Why the sudden jump in the normal flow of things?”

From the Tenth Palace to the Second Palace, every time before Lin Huang had seen the actual palace itself, there would be God's Servants attacking first. Regardless of the number, there would always be a wave of them. Every time a God Palace appeared, it would be after he had defeated the God's Servants. When he came out of the Second Palace though, Lin Huang did not see a single God's Servant; the God Palace automatically appeared.

Aside from being completely blood-red, this God Palace seemed to be nothing special.
