Romance Game: Embrace of the Inhuman

Chapter 308: Rapid Growth


[Constant Breathing], [Enhancement Absorption], [Continuous Growth], [Slow Spiritual Enhancement], [Slow Physical Enhancement]...

Lin Qianxuan reshaped the shortsword and endowed it with new attributes.

These attributes come with certain costs, enhancing its functionality, but the costs are directional energy consumption, solvable by a few Truth Coins.

After layering numerous attributes, as long as the sword is held or in contact with the skin, it will passively operate the Breathing Technique, enhancing energy absorption and utilization, continuously improving the user's spirit and physical strength.

The attributes Lin Qianxuan endowed were not strong enough, but thankfully, they could be layered repeatedly, soon reaching his desired standards.

In this way, as long as Peiya carries this sword with her at all times, within ten days, she will reach the Palace Level's Peak in both physique and spirit, along with the corresponding control abilities.

As for stepping into Legend.

This step requires willpower and insight.

After all, it is the rule of life itself, shaped by willpower.

Lin Qianxuan could directly enhance will through the Dao Fruit's attributes, even bestow rules, but he felt this step should be taken by Peiya herself.

Moreover, Lin Qianxuan believes it will not be difficult for her.

Her past life was certainly not pleasant, yet she still harbors hope and longing for the future.

Despite countless cycles, her intellect being worn down, her essence still exists.

"Take it."

Lin Qianxuan handed the sword to Peiya and said, "In the next month, don't let it leave your side, even when sleeping."

"I remember it," Peiya nodded seriously.

"As long as you remember."

Lin Qianxuan nodded and then began throwing Truth Coins like crazy into her bedroom.

These Truth Coins possess universal energy, naturally absorbable and usable by the Breathing Technique.

As for the minor wear and tear costs, they can be directly ignored.

After all, with mastery of the Dao Fruit, one can casually bestow some attributes to repair them.

Immediately, Lin Qianxuan put on the monocle with attributes to observe Peiya's condition.

As expected, she was advancing rapidly.

On the material level, her cellular structure became more stable, storing more energy, her spirit particles tighter and stronger, etc.

On the spacetime information level, it's like an invisible hand is modifying her spacetime information, setting up a new round.

However, this rewriting is gradual and subject to certain constraints.

Otherwise, directly writing "Invincible" would be much easier.

It seems contradictory to say, the Dao Fruit is an absolute rule, but due to having a carrier, it is influenced by the chaos rule and must follow the corresponding ways to achieve its absolute rule.

Just like the Dao Fruit of [Artifact], its concept attributes can only be inscribed on artifacts and not on life forms.

It can only indirectly affect life forms.

But in Lin Qianxuan's view, it seems Peiya's understanding hasn't reached that level yet.

Otherwise, if she considers life itself just a higher form of an artifact, she could also endow attributes the same way.

Putting away the glasses, Lin Qianxuan no longer concerned himself with what Peiya was doing, but continued his study of those curious artifacts' attributes.

Time passed quickly, and ten days were soon over.

Not too fast, not too slow.

Everything was just right.

Entirely within Lin Qianxuan's calculations.

By this time, Peiya had reached the Palace Level's Peak attribute value.

Her body was already capable of bearing rules.

Correspondingly, the strength Lin Qianxuan could exert also increased.

However, against curious artifacts, it doesn't make much difference.

Curious artifacts come from the Dao Fruit and can only be countered by Dao Fruit's power.

"Are you ready? Let's have a spar." In the temporarily rented venue, Lin Qianxuan said to Peiya.

Here was a circular plaza with a diameter of about one kilometer, where Lin Qianxuan intended to train Peiya.

"Teacher, I'm ready," Peiya said seriously, gripping her sword.

This was a form of address she had only recently started using.

Before, she used to call him Mr. Lin.

However, Lin Qianxuan didn't mind, it was just a form of address after all.

"Peiya, you can definitely do it!!" Xiao Ke encouraged from the side.

Lin Qianxuan didn't hold a sword, nor did he use any weapon.

He moved his fingers slightly, causing a faint wind whistle to emanate.

Different realms, different bodies, the same amount of force, the effect he could unleash was worlds apart.

He was suppressing his power, keeping it on a par with Peiya's, otherwise just a little exertion could cause mountain-shattering waves.

Suddenly, for an instant, Peiya noticed Lin Qianxuan's movements paused.

Then she instinctively raised her sword and swept sideways, and as the Sword Qi swept, Lin Qianxuan narrowly avoided it, then lightly flicked the sword with his finger.

Clang~!

Boom~!

Peiya was launched, tumbling several times in the air before barely regaining her stance on the ground, sliding to the edge of the venue. Under her feet, the specially alloyed floor showed some marks.

Indicating mitigating Lin Qianxuan's attack wasn't as easy as it seemed.

"Though you relied on the warning attribute, your reaction wasn't bad, barely reaching the microsecond level....."

Lin Qianxuan nodded approvingly, and the next instant, Peiya suddenly launched another sword attack.

Clang~!

Boom~!

Sword Qi clashed with wind blade, both exploded simultaneously, the overwhelming air currents scattered everywhere, blowing Peiya's cheeks to a slight sting, yet Peiya dared not blink even once.

Clang~!

A flash of sword light, Lin Qianxuan's attack from behind Peiya was defused.

The sword blade swept past Lin Qianxuan's side.

"The sword techniques are well-practiced, but not every move should be executed with full strength. When facing an opponent whose strength is unknown, it's best to reserve a few points of strength as a backup..."

A palm strike through the air, Lin Qianxuan's palm emitted a force that pushed her flying away.

In mid-air, Peiya managed to disperse the power, energy gathered beneath her feet, borrowing force out of nowhere and continuously turning in mid-air several times, leaving behind traces of illusions. These illusions, along with her main body, attacked Lin Qianxuan simultaneously, each illusion was condensed by energy, possessing some physicality, making it hard for the average person to distinguish between real and fake.

Sword Technique: [Shadow Slash].

To Lin Qianxuan's perspective, it was a very flashy but superficial technique.

Because his observation skills were strong, he could easily discern the truth.

To make her abandon this rubbish move, Lin Qianxuan decided to exert a little effort.

He remained motionless, an invisible and colorless gang qi erupted from him instantly.

The gang qi exploded instantly, disperse all surrounding illusions, leaving only Peiya still slashing.

Lin Qianxuan initially intended to let her attack his protective gang qi, but when the sword blade pierced through the gang qi, he could not help but frown slightly.

Because the blade broke through the gang qi directly.

This sword inflicted certain real damage on its target.

Lin Qianxuan had anticipated this.

But he didn't expect it to be broken through nonetheless.

Because the amount of that bit of damage was determined by Peiya herself.

Saying it's a trace amount of damage, it actually means an instant kill!

Any object before it breaks instantly.

Because this isn't really playing a game.

There would not be dataized entities with tens of thousands of health points.

Peiya's slightest real damage can merely scratch the surface or directly strike the true spirit, instantly fatal.

Rarely, Lin Qianxuan felt a bit disheartened.

He could only shoot out a burst of force through the air to deflect her sword blade to the side.

"Fancy but impractical, wastes energy, you can't deceive a master." Lin Qianxuan commented.

In Lin Qianxuan's battles, the enemies' strength is generally much stronger than his own.

He's tried to play tricks but it never worked.

When battling a powerful adversary, there's always only one method to achieve victory.

Utilize one's strengths, find the enemy's weaknesses, then attack the weak points with strengths.

Peiya's strength lies in her Dao Fruit and her equipment.

All her methods should have one sole purpose.

Which is to allow her weapon to reach the enemy.

Of course, this is how Lin Qianxuan taught, this is how she performs now, albeit not very well.

Because the opponent is too strong, with too much combat experience, she cannot find a way to break through.

Lin Qianxuan easily neutralized all of Peiya's attacks while giving guidance.

He isn't imparting experience to Peiya. Combat experience and skills can be gained through Dao Fruit's bestowed entries.

Lin Qianxuan is merely teaching her to establish correct combat mentality, restrain her mind, understand what she truly ought to do when facing combat, while letting her slightly vent excess energy to see how well she controls her power.

Suddenly, the sword blade in Peiya's hands radiated dazzling light.

"This energy-wasting move... wait... something's off!"

Lin Qianxuan originally thought Peiya intended to unleash a large-scale Sword Qi Pillar move she learned, but immediately realized she was infusing new entries.

"What is it?"

The entry hadn't been infused yet, Lin Qianxuan couldn't check what it was.

And the next instant, the blade pierced through space, almost teleporting to reach Lin Qianxuan's right shoulder.

"Knowing to use techniques outside the norm is good, but unfortunately, these are all leftover tricks I've played with. Besides, you could have aimed directly at the head, heart, neck, given your current situation, even if you did stab me, I probably wouldn't die so easily, let alone, it's unlikely you would stab me..." Lin Qianxuan laughed as he flicked the sword blade away.

Peiya's figure descended, about to attack again, but was stopped by Lin Qianxuan.

"Enough, that's about it. For the time being, breakthrough to Legend here."

Lin Qianxuan took out a statue he spent quite some money on, and placed it on the ground.

The statue depicted a person in armor drawing a sword and slashing.

It was crafted by a master sculptor, inscribed with a Dao Principle named [Slash].

It's akin to a Divine Power Atlas of recorded Dao Principles, albeit with stronger Dao Charm.

Lin Qianxuan took out an iron bead he crafted into a Bodhi Seed and handed it to Peiya: "Take this, and comprehend it well."

This Bodhi Seed bore many entries bestowed by Lin Qianxuan to enhance wisdom, their effect naturally being strong.

It could reduce something that would take thousands of years to comprehend down to just over a dozen or twenty days.

Although it couldn't compare to [Spiritual Enlightenment], which allows immediate understanding and mastery within cognitive range, it could be considered a diluted, youthful version.

"Yes, teacher."

Peiya sheathed her sword, took the Bodhi Seed, sat cross-legged, and stared intently at the statue in a daze.

Under the effect of the Bodhi Seed, she quickly comprehended some things from the statue.

It was a certain power centered on a powerful will, distorting the original rules of the world.... known as "Logic."
