205 Great Improvement and Challenge (1/2)

After some months, Yale and Wyba were already famous in Sword City; it was very unusual having a pair of brother and sister together at the Sword Five. Furthermore, rumors about Lar having some kind of special relationship with them had also spread quickly.

The fame wasn't the only thing which increased, in those months thanks to her training with Lar, Wyba reached the expert stage in swordsmanship. With her age, no one doubted that she was the only one who deserved to be the member of the Sword Five representing the Mortal Rank even if she never battled in the Sword Arena due to her young age.

Lar had also improved a lot in Body Illusion although she had yet to master it; she lacked talent regarding illusion magic, but her perseverance and stubbornness were first class. Although Yale considered that she was too slow at learning it even with his guidance, her speed was considerably high compared to other kids who wanted to train such a complex skill.

On the surface, the one who had improved less in those months was Yale because he had yet to condensate Sword Qi although he felt that he was near to accomplish it.

However, the truth was just the opposite, Yale's improvement in those months was monstrous. That was because Yale had developed some hidden training schedule that except him no one was aware of.

He had disguised himself to travel for the towns and forests near Sword City; those days he didn't go to the Sword Arena and returned every day for his training session with Lar, but he reaped great benefits in those short travels.

The most important thing was that he finally managed to use Soul-search without any influence of his emotions. Of course, Yale didn't know if in an extreme situation he would be able to avoid the influence of his emotions on the Soul-search, but at least in most situations, he was already in a perfect control of it.

In those travels, Yale had been hunting criminals with bounties and acting like a lone bounty hunter. Although the criminals didn't dare to enter Sword City nor act towards them for fear, there were quite a few hiding in the nearby towns. Moreover, forests had always been a good place for criminals to hide.

Those criminals all turned into Yale's experiment subjects for Soul-search and Poison Claw, which Yale completely mastered in those months. Of course, the criminals Yale targeted were only the ones he knew he could deal with, he didn't dare to hunt those who surpassed him by a lot of power levels.

Besides that, Yale also reached the peak of the expert stage in Martial Arts and archery, both were in the same state as swordsmanship, only a step away from the master stage, but that step was still too difficult, and Yale didn't even focus on it as he wanted to reach it first with swordsmanship.

In addition to that, Yale had also managed to increase Shape Shift to the twenty-sixth level, Stealth to the twenty-third level and Archery Senses to the twentieth level.

Moreover, although Yale wasn't satisfied with his growth of power in those months, his increases were still remarkable compared to others.

”Name: Yale | Age: 15 | Origin Level: 23 |Origin Points: 2413/2413”

”Vitality: 2103 | Strength: 2156 | Agility: 2143 | Intelligence: 3000 | Wisdom: 3000 | Dexterity: 2032”

The members of the Sword Five had access to a lot of resources, and with the free Sword Points, they obtain each day, the quality of the resources for their training was comparable to some big clans, those big clans were second only to the noble clans, so the treatment could be considered excellent.

There were a lot of powers who invested resources in Sword City because when those famous swordsmen left the city, those powers would try to recruit them.

Of course, since a member of the Larken Clan had created Sword City, even the big clans didn't dare to try to force anyone to join them despite investing resources on the city.

They were called big clans, and they could give an excellent amount of resources to their younger generation; they have influence and power, but their foundation couldn't compare to the noble clans. A big clan trying to challenge a noble clan would only end with the destruction of the so-called big clan.
