Chapter 32：Battle Technique (2/2)
He thought of the new technique, and the Qi started moving through his meridian. This was the first time, so it was going to take longer to complete the travel through the new path.
It slowly moved all over his body and reached his hands. However, instead of diffusing from his hands, it instead traveled from his palm to the hilt of the sword.
The Qi felt some difficulty in entering the hilt but still managed to enter it at last.
The Qi had visibly entered the sword hilt as Alex saw the hilt's color change to a slight yellowish hue. The color then traveled up the sword as it crossed the cross-guard, moved along the blade, and stopped at the tip.
His Qi has trouble moving along the entirety of the sword but succeeded in it at last. Now, the sword was glowing a mild yellow.
”I wonder if the Qi is having difficulty because it's a metal object?” Alex wondered.
Now that he had successfully activated his [Smiting Blade] technique, it was time to test how good it was. He held the sword in a fighting stance and pounced forward to cut the puppet.
BAM
A massive cut appeared on the puppet where Alex had just cut it. The sword had stopped glowing yellow as he stopped the flow of Qi.
He looked back at the wooden post as a few words appeared on it.
He smiled. His attack just now had been equivalent to a Bone Tempering 1st Realm cultivator's normal strike. That meant his new battle technique improved his damage by 1 realm's worth.
Adding to the fact that this 1 realm was an entire minor realm jump, the battle technique returned its worth twice over. He decided to attack once more.
Once more, he did the same damage as a Bone Tempering 1st Realm cultivator.
[Muscle Tempering 8th Realm]
”Huh? Why is my damage lower than my actual cultivation base? What is going on?” he was very much confused.
He tried attacking the puppet with his bare hands.
[Muscle Tempering 9th Realm]
”Wait. So I do more damage with my fists than I do with the sword? What sort of garbage was I handed during the tutorial.” Alex couldn't believe what he was saying.
”Is this the game's way of balancing things out? Giving me ultra good talents and techniques, but then giving me trash pills that give 10 Qi, or a sword that does less damage than my fists.”
Alex didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He picked up his sword once more. The puppets were part of the sect running formation and had self-mending techniques, so they were back to perfect condition once more.
He infused Qi into the sword once more and started attacking.
