1361 Sword1’s Questioning (2/2)
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.”
Lin Huang was puzzled when he heard that.
Just when he thought Sword1 would test his knowledge about Sword Dao and he began to feel anxious, Sword1's voice came slowly.
”Have you heard of a group called the Raiders?”
Lin Huang was stunned when he heard the question. He then narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Sword1.
Usually, only travelers were aware of the existence of the Raiders.
He did not really want to admit that he was a traveler in front of Sword1. After all, this kind of thing was a great secret and so far, he still did not know what Sword1's purpose was in probing his identity. Even if the other party was already very sure of his identity as a traveler, as long as he did not admit it himself, there was no way for the other party to be 100% sure.
However, in the current situation, if he denied his identity as a traveler and said that he had never heard of the Raiders, how would the other party react? Would it affect him in his quest to obtain Great Heaven's Inheritance?
After much thought, Lin Huang looked up at Sword1 with a blank expression.
”This question that you're asking now—I don't think the swordmaster would have allowed you to ask such a thing, right?”
”This question is something that I want to know.” Sword1 glanced at Lin Huang with keen eyes. ”If you know anything, please do share whatever information you have about the Raiders!”
Lin Huang was silent for a moment. After careful consideration, he nodded.
”I don't know much about the Raiders, I've only heard some rumors…”
