Chapter 344: Sword-Shaped (1/2)

CLACK

Du Yuhan put the half-sword back into its sheath and then the whole sheath disappeared into his storage bag. His opponent smiled and asked, ”You got another sword in there?”

Du Yuhan didn't speak and instead nodded to affirm his suspicion. His opponent was a little surprised.

Suddenly, the same sheath came out of the storage bag once again. ”Huh?” his opponent responded in confusion. ”Are you going to fight with a broken sword?” he asked.

CHING

Du Yuhan pulled a brand new sword from inside the sheath and surprised him. His opponent looked at the sheath more carefully and realized it was slightly different than the first one.

”You have multiple of the same sword?” he asked. Du Yuhan nodded once again.

”No wonder you had another sword ready after the last battle. But what's the point of having multiple trash swords when a single high-grade sword can last much longer than any of them?” his opponent asked.

Du Yuhan thought for a moment and asked, ”Tell me, who suffers more hardship? A man with a good sword or a man with a bad one?”

The opponent was confused why he was asking that but still decided to answer. ”Obviously it's the man with the bad sword,” he said.

Du Yuhan smiled and then asked, ” Now tell me, what person grows the most? The one who has it easy, or the one facing hardship?”

Once again the opponent decided to answer. ”Of course it the man who—” he stopped and got angry. ”Are you trying to say I haven't improved because I used a good sword?” he asked.

Du Yuhan shook his head and said, ”I'm just saying I have improved a lot since I decided to only use Common Mortal grade swords.”

”That's a load of bullcrap. One can improve no matter the circumstances. As long as we have the will, we can do it,” the opponent said.

”I can not tell you whether you are right or wrong, as I too am barely a beginner in the ways of the sword,” Du Yuhan said. ”However, let this beginner show you what he has learned ever since he started using the so-called trash swords.”

Du Yuhan looked at his sword once before putting it back into his sheathe. He then got into the same stance that destroyed the 3 puppets in the last battle.

Air started getting slowly distorted around Du Yuhan. His opponent was just as surprised as when he saw this in the last match.

'Why is he pushing forth so much Sword Intent?' he wondered. He immediately got into his best stance to deliver the strongest attack as well.

Suddenly, something flashed in front of Du Yuhan. It was white in color and it went from the upper right of Du Yuhan's face to the lower left. It then disappeared as quickly as it had appeared.

'What was that?' his opponent wondered but didn't care about it enough to think for long, however.

Another one flashed once again. This time it appeared near his torso and flew up and went behind him.

His opponent got alert and decided to see what the white thing was. Another one appeared just as he thought that, and he finally managed to see what it was.

When he realized it, his eyes nearly fell out of his sockets. ”That's—” he couldn't formulate any words. 4th, 5th, 6th… 10th… 20th…40, 50.

Hundreds of such small white light appeared and disappeared around Du Yuhan very fast. They were incredibly small in size, so anyone who was looking from the audience couldn't really see what the shape of the white thing was.
