Chapter 110: Training with Master (1/2)

Although he couldn't tell the exact output of the attack, he could tell that it was without a doubt the strongest attack he had done until now.

Just the first strike alone was better than Smiting Blade, yet the second strike somehow far surpassed that.

'What would the third strike be like?' he wondered. He held his blade next to him once again and started pouring in the Qi. In the end, he swung the sword directly towards the wall once more.

A very sharp green slice came out of the sword and hit the wall far away.

BOOM

A big explosion rang out at the wall. However, instead of being happy, Alex frowned.

”The damage is much lower than I expected. It's barely any better than the second strike and yet it uses more Qi.” He started to believe that his fire abilities were only good because of the Yang Qi. Now that Yang Qi wouldn't help Wood element, his true power finally showed.

”I guess I really have a bad spiritual root. I guess I don't care as long as it doesn't hamper me in my path in alchemy. Cultivating and fighting are just extra stuff for me. But still, it hurts a bit, knowing that I have a bad spiritual root.” He thought.

He decided to only use the first 2 sword strike from now on since the third strike was bad when considering Qi to Damage ratio. Still, practicing it just in case he ever needed it was not a bad idea.

He kept on practicing for another hour and finally stopped when his Qi ran out. Sending out wind slices continuously for an hour was really draining for him.

A few minutes later Wen Cheng arrived just to see him down on the ground panting heavily.

”Oh, are you done for today?” he asked.

”Ah, Master. Yes, I'm done for today. I have run out of Qi.” He said.

”Oh, okay. How much did you learn? Did you manage to practice some of the footwork?” he asked.

”Oh, I learned the whole thing master. It took me 5 hours to read it.”

”5 Hours? Okay, lets tes- HUH? You finished reading all of this in just 5 hours?” Wen Cheng was shocked. When Alex had said fast, he had thought he was talking about taking just a few days to learn the stuff, but to finish it in a few hours? That was too shocking.

”Stand up. I will test you to see if that is true.” He ordered sternly. He needed to check if he was lying or not, as it was a really hard thing to believe.

Alex stopped panting and stood up with his sword at the ready. Wen Cheng internally nodded when he saw that he was using a stance from the Elusive Heavenly Sword.

”Come,” He said giving permission for Alex to attack. Alex too didn't waste another second and lunged forward with his sword. Wen Cheng saw the sword coming and stepped to the side to dodge it. At the same time, he also used his own sword to make a simple yet precise attack.
