209 Swordmanship and Spiritual Sense (1/2)

As Yale started to obtain an advantage on the battle, those who betted for him were regretting hadn't bet more as they would receive thousand Sword Points per point if Yale won. Although some people had bet for Yale expecting a miracle, except one person's bet, all the other bets were of just one Sword Point.

The only person who didn't bet just one point went to the extreme of betting all her points directly; that person was Lar who had complete confidence in that Yale would win despite the difference in rank with his opponent.

Her face had been a bit grim when Yale had been sent flying after being in a disadvantage the whole battle, but she started to grin after that moment when Yale started to obtain the advantage and made two consecutive breakthroughs.

”Liye likes to play too much; if he wanted to delay the battle to use it for comprehending some essence he didn't need to play the weak that much, he scared me to the death. However, Liye is still as awesome as always, being at such a low level and he already can start comprehending the essence again.”

Lar had yet to start to understand any essence after reincarnation, but that was normal; although someone who reincarnated had an easier time comprehending essences they had comprehended in their past life, doing it at the Novice Rank without any guide was something no one did. In fact, Lar even doubted that someone managed to do it at the Apprentice Rank without someone guiding the path like she believed Yale did. Of course, Lar would never think about Yale inheriting his own Condensed Sword Essence, because that was considered impossible.

In her past life, Lar had only comprehended some Sword Essence, but she was far from reaching a complete comprehension. She was extremely talented, but her talent was outshone completely by Liye.

The battle continued, and Selenia started to have a grim look on her face, she was unable to do anything to Yale while she was slowly being damaged and started to feel tired. She had been in Sword City since she was little and she only knew about direct pure swordsmanship battles, an attrition battle with a combination of attacks at short -range and long-range was something she had never seen before.

”You are really a monster. I had never seen someone like you before.”

Selenia started to fear even more Yale's background because she couldn't believe that someone with such ability didn't have any background or any fame; since she hadn't heard about him before, she believed that Yale belonged to a formidable background who sheltered him until he appeared in Sword City.

In fact, she started to think that Yale belonged to the Larken Clan; given Yale's display of strength and ability, she wasn't the only one thinking that Yale was a member of the Larken Clan who was bored and went to Sword City to play a bit.

There was no way they knew that Yale's ability was better than a top genius of the Larken Clan like Lar, who was also in Sword City concealing her true identity.

Of course, although Yale wasn't a member of the Larken Clan, he was the reincarnation of one of its founders, so he couldn't be considered completely unrelated to them despite how he felt.

”If you already think that I am a monster wait until the day when you see my power without the restriction of the Sword Arena rules.”

Yale could only think that after hearing Selenia; he knew very well that his main strength wasn't pure swordsmanship, but his versatility. The rules of the Sword Arena just made him weaker than he should be.

”The user reached Origin Level 26.”

As Yale advanced again the people were starting to doubt about their senses; they couldn't understand how someone could increase the realm that easily and quickly.

Fortunately, they didn't know about the increase in Yale's stats because that was even more monstrous than just increasing the energy to advance in level.

The battle continued for some minutes, but then Selenia dropped her sword. She had lost her will to battle.

”I lost this battle. I still have the strength to fight, but my pride tells me that being cornered that much by a youth at the Apprentice Rank is shameful enough. I am clearly inferior in swordsmanship, without my superior strength, I would have lost long ago. My pride won't let me try to winthis battle by all means after having understood my inferiority in swordsmanship.”
