Chapter 4: Bloodline Ability (1/2)

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Qin silently ran at the edge of the forest. But no matter how silent, he tried to get the wind still made some noise. He didn't want to make noise because he was holding a book in his hand. He was trying to read while running so that he can save some time for reading later.

Since his road was completely straight without a single obstacle like a tree, he didn't need to get distracted as long as he keeps on the straight path. Thankfully, his rope walking training came to work.

”Wind Splitting Sword Art”

Qin began to memorize this sword art. But, the more he reads, the better his comprehension gets. It's like he comprehended the meaning behind this art while reading it. The same thing was happening again and his heart was giggling.

This was a martial art. Unlike cultivation techniques, martial art teaches people how to compress, expand, and use the qi inside their body to attack, defend and move. In this case, it teaches how to compress qi into a sword and attack.

When a person fights, he needs to take care of many things from the opponent's attack to his own martial art. If he gets late by a split second, he might get injured or the worst, he might die. That's why a person must perfect his martial art in order to fight safely in the future.

Wind Splitting Sword Art was unique for its rapid speed. Once used, he can attack his opponents in three forms. Long-range form, here he compresses qi into his sword and releases it from the sharper edge. The edge makes qi sharper and the speed makes it faster. So that the qi can split air or wind to attack his opponent at a faster speed.

Then there is short-range form, here he compresses his qi into the sword. But instead of releasing it, he coats the edge with the qi. The qi increases his sword's durability and power when he clashes with his opponent's attack.

Finally, there is a multiple sword form. This is rather similar to long-range form but there is a twist. Instead of releasing it from his sword, he needs to condense the sword. It's just like how he coats his sword in the second form but with only his visualization.

This made Wind Splitting Sword Art get divided into three forms.

First Form- Splitting the Wind

Second Form- Splitting the Ground

Third Form- Qi Sword

'Hmm! something doesn't feel, right? Why do I feel like I can simply release the qi with a swing of my sword?' Suddenly, Qin unsheathed his sword and raised it. He focused the qi from his dantian to his hand. It followed out of the meridian and to reach veins.

When qi reached his hand, it reached out his sword and started compressing at the edge of the sword. When Qin swings his sword down, a white blade arc gushed out of the edge and moved towards the tree.

Ka-cha!

'Shit!' Qin puts back his sword and speechlessly looked at the branch that fell on the ground. His qi strike against the branch and managed to cut it. It happened so naturally that Qin was left speechless.

'Is this the talent of someone with Great Emperor Bloodline?' Qin asked himself as he pondered on this. Suddenly, his eyes shrunk he found something.

'Wait, I never get to check the ability that I got from this bloodline.' Qin hurriedly puts the back under his shirt and sat on the ground. He closed his eyes and focus on his mind.

Soon, he started seeing those characters once again. He skipped that and went to the last lines.

[Great Tan Bloodline Ability- Lightning Spirit Body]

[Lightning Spirit Body- Using the bloodline, one can temporarily access the lightning spirit body. If it is used continuously, the body will get permanent access to Lightning Spirit Body.]

When he heard that same voice repeating the words, he couldn't help but feel speechless. He might be an orphan but he still knows how to read and write. He could literally understand everything that was in front of him.

But, he was genuinely shocked by the Lightning Spirit Body even though he didn't know what it was. Just word lightning was enough to make him excited. And, since it also had the word 'body', he could relate it to his physical body.

'Wait, doesn't that mean whenever I activate this bloodline ability, I would be able to throw lightning from my hands? Maybe I could even release it from the sword, maybe spear, ax isn't a bad idea either. Hmm! How about a hammer?'

'Nah! If I have a strong hammer, I can simply use it to smash somebody. Why would I use the hammer to release the lightning? Though it would look cool when I smash my hammer on the ground and lightning release all around me, destroying my enemies.'
