Chapter 291: The Reincarnated Villain Makes The Heroines Tearfully Beg For Forgiveness
Chapter 291:
Late at night.
In an elegantly decorated courtyard, Lin Yan sat at a stone table, casually sipping the tea placed before him. Meanwhile, Qi Bing swung her long sword gracefully in the courtyard’s open space.
Qi Bing’s true talent was the long sword. Her previous use of double hammers was merely a disguise, something Lin Yan had clearly figured out. With the long sword, the ripples of law emanating from her were far stronger than when she wielded the double hammers.
After nearly an entire cup of tea’s time spent practicing, Qi Bing finally stopped and looked at Lin Yan with anticipation.
"Sir, I practice my family’s inherited swordsmanship, but without an actual inheritance manual, its power has diminished. Can you give me some guidance?"
In this world, the inheritance manuals were the foundation of all cultivation. Without having them, even the most refined techniques would gradually lose their potency.
Qi Bing faced this exact situation.
Her swordsmanship was created by an ancestor through insights gained from inheritance manuals. However, since they had lost access to the inheritance manual, the power of their sword techniques had been steadily declining. Eventually, it would become just an ordinary set of moves.Lin Yan stood up from the stone table. He walked to Qi Bing, took the long sword from her hand, and closed his eyes in thought.
After a moment, he began to swing the sword casually, speaking as he did so. "I’m not familiar with the inheritance manuals you practice, nor have I studied its contents. I can only deduce some techniques based on your swordsmanship. Try practicing them; if they work, great. If not, there’s nothing more I can do."
Lin Yan had not yet encountered any of this world’s original inheritance manuals, so he couldn't create techniques based on their teachings. Instead, he came up with other techniques from the moves Qi Bing had demonstrated. For him, deducing sword techniques wasn’t difficult; he simply aimed to make the moves emit stronger ripples of law.
As Lin Yan swung the long sword, he sought to connect techniques with corresponding ripples of law, aligning them with those Qi Bing had previously used.
Qi Bing watched in stunned silence.
She could see that Lin Yan had never come across her family’s inheritance manual, not even knowing its name. Yet, his casual swings carried the essence of her family’s swordsmanship. Moreover, the techniques Lin Yan executed, though seemingly identical to hers, possessed vastly greater power, almost as if they were from a completely different sword style.
"Is he deducing the monument’s teachings from my sword moves?" Qi Bing stood there in a daze. She had never witnessed anything like this. Even the top experts she had seen couldn’t achieve such a feat.
In their world, it was said that inheritance manuals were divine gifts, and merely comprehending a fraction of its insights could propel someone to greatness. It was believed impossible to deduce inheritance manual teachings from basic techniques.
However, for Lin Yan, deducing the contents of inheritance manuals wasn't a problem. He cultivated the entire laws of destiny, and these world inheritance manuals were created by experts related to the law of destiny. Therefore, he could naturally infer the teachings of these inheritance manuals from mere clues.
Of course, due to his limited cultivation, Lin Yan only deduced the most basic inheritance manuals. The profound contents likely required a personal understanding of inheritance manuals, something even he might struggle with.
"That’s enough for now," Lin Yan said, stopping after demonstrating twelve sword techniques. "Based on your moves, I’ve deduced twelve techniques for you to practice. See if they work for you."
In theory, Lin Yan could create an endless number of techniques, but it wasn’t necessary.
Firstly, the ripples of law in the techniques wouldn't vary much with further creation. Secondly, more complex techniques might be beyond Qi Bing’s understanding. Therefore, he left her with twelve techniques before turning and walking away.
Qi Bing stood alone in the courtyard, her initial daze giving way to excitement. "Sir’s strength must be far greater than I imagined. Even top experts might only match him. Meeting him is my great fortune."
Eagerly, Qi Bing began practicing the techniques Lin Yan had left her. The more she practiced, the more immersed she became. Barriers that had previously hindered her now seemed to dissolve naturally.
As she practiced, her sword emitted the sound of rushing water. Soon, an illusionary river formed around her blade, sweeping through the courtyard.
Alarmed, Qi Bing quickly stopped, causing the river image to dissipate before it could damage the surroundings.
Holding her sword, Qi Bing broke into a slight sweat, her heart pounding with excitement. She had broken through. Just moments ago, her cultivation had seen a significant leap.
In this world, inheritance manual cultivation had nine stages. Reaching the ninth stage meant one could ascend and leave this world, a feat extremely difficult to achieve. Most practitioners’ cultivation bases were within these nine stages. Qi Bing had been at the second stage, but now she had made a breakthrough into the third, and almost reaching the fourth.
If that middle-aged man attacked her again now, Qi Bing was confident she could defeat him herself. Her cultivation had improved drastically in a single night.
However, her excitement was mixed with astonishment. "With just a casual pointer, Sir helped me break through to the third stage, almost reaching the fourth. What must his own cultivation be? Could he have already reached the ninth stage?"
As Qi Bing pondered this, Lin Yan's room door opened. He emerged, glanced at the much stronger Qi Bing, and said as he walked out, "Let’s go. We need to continue towards the Heavenly Sect."
