I rely on myself

Chapter 99 Manipulating Density
Li Xingsheng reappeared behind Lin Yuan, raised his spiritual suit and chopped down. It had neither amazing magic power nor fast speed, giving people the impression that it could be easily blocked, but Lin Yuan only felt a sense of alertness in his heart.

So without thinking too much, Lin Yuan immediately left his original position. The next moment, the seemingly ordinary horse-slaying sword showed extraordinary power, as if a huge force was exerted on the sword. It easily cut a long crack on the ground, and the sword body was deeply embedded in the ground.

Watching this scene, Lin Yuan couldn't help but feel fortunate that he didn't act too arrogantly and took the attack head-on, otherwise he would have felt bad.

Li Xingsheng pulled up the spiritual suit from the ground very easily. Looking at the opponent's spiritual suit, Lin Yuan suddenly discovered that the width of the blade of his grandfather's spiritual suit had become about a quarter narrower than when it was just summoned.

Suddenly a flash of light flashed through Lin Yuan's mind, and he thought of something.

"Missing the target, turning into smoke, the spirit suit narrowing, and shocking power... I see, this must be my grandfather's ability. No wonder his previous attacks didn't work, and he can exert such power with just one strike."

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan immediately took action to test whether his guess was correct.

He started instantly and increased his speed to the maximum, tightly gripped the sword in his hand, turned into a ray of light, instantly passed Li Xingsheng and came behind him, while the sword blade slashed across Li Xingsheng's body in the process.

However, there were no wounds on Li Xingsheng's body that was scratched. It just turned into smoke and dispersed. The next moment, the smoke gathered back into Li Xingsheng's body again, and he was exactly the same without any injuries.

When Li Xingsheng, who had recovered, turned around and was about to fight back, Lin Yuan seemed to have anticipated this scene. He turned around first and used the force of turning to make a horizontal slash.

When Li Xingsheng wanted to use the same trick again, Lin Yuan's sword suddenly produced a huge suction force. Faced with this scene, Li Xingsheng could no longer remain calm, and quickly raised the horse-slaying sword in his hand to block the attack.

"Qiang——————!"

Accompanied by the sound of swords colliding, although Li Xingsheng used the horse-slaying sword to block in front of him in time and was not hit directly, the unimaginable force transmitted from Lin Yuan's sword knocked Li Xingsheng away.

Li Xingsheng, who was knocked flying, reacted quickly, adjusted his posture and landed steadily. However, he did not feel relaxed about this. Instead, he quickly raised his spiritual suit to block in front of him. The next moment, he had just taken a defensive stance.

"Qiang——————!"

There was another louder sound of swords clashing. It was Lin Yuan. After knocking Li Xingsheng away, he once again used his high speed to chase him. He caught up with the opponent as soon as he landed and struck him with a sword.

If Li Xingsheng hadn't reacted quickly enough, the sword would probably have fallen on him.

Both sides held their weapons tightly and refused to give in, with no intention of relaxing and maintaining a standoff.

Looking at Li Xingsheng who could no longer ignore his attack, Lin Yuan smiled, but in contrast, Li Xingsheng couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Seeing the continuous suction force in Lin Yuan's sword, Li Xingsheng knew that his ability had been known by his grandson, so he stopped hiding it. The blade of the horse-slaying sword began to become thinner and thinner, and the temperature of the blade increased at an alarming rate, even igniting the air to form a flame.

Although Lin Yuan's spiritual suit had been maintaining an absorption state, it was obviously unable to completely absorb the high temperature, so Lin Yuan could only give up on maintaining the state of the sword blades intersecting and actively retreat.

Seeing Lin Yuan retreating, Li Xingsheng did not pursue him any further. He also stopped his ability and restored his spiritual outfit to its original state.

"I'm really old now. My skills are not as flexible as before. Otherwise, I would have captured you before you figured out my ability. But after all my efforts, you still managed to escape."

Li Xingsheng smiled bitterly and lamented that his strength was beginning to decline due to his age, but Lin Yuan had different ideas about this.

"You said you're not as agile as before, but you easily blocked all my attacks and gave me a hard blow, didn't you?"

As he spoke, Lin Yuan raised his left arm to signal. Even after such a long time, his left arm was still powerless, so Lin Yuan could only hold the sword with one hand, and some sword skills could not be used. However, Lin Yuan did gain something, that is, he uncovered the true nature of his grandfather's ability.

"But I didn't expect that, Grandfather, since your ability is to manipulate density, no wonder you can do things that are impossible with ordinary physical attacks, and at the same time, you can use amazing power with just a casual strike. That's probably because of your ability."

"Ah, yes, my ability is exactly as you said, it is the concept interference system - density. It is also because of this ability that I was able to escape death many times in the war and survive."

That's right, Li Xingsheng's ability is the conceptual interference system - density. Through this ability, he can freely control the density of all things, such as compressing the sword blade and increasing its density at the same time. In this way, he can increase the weight of the spiritual suit like Lin Yuan fills minerals into the spiritual suit, thereby making it exert amazing power. At the same time, he can also increase the density of objects, so that the relative temperature of the objects continues to rise, thereby forming high temperature.

The opposite of this is to reduce the density of oneself or other things, turning them into a smoke-like form, thus becoming immune to most physical attacks, such as slashing, piercing, hitting, etc., and even short-term high temperatures. Of course, the disadvantage is also very obvious because it is in a smoke state, so it is easily affected by external forces.

For example, Lin Yuan maintained suction through his sword to prevent Li Xingsheng from using the smoke form. If part of his body was lost in the smoke state, it could still be barely replenished through substances in nature, but if too much was lost, the consequences would be serious.

It is precisely because of this that Lin Yuan kept the spiritual equipment in an absorbing state in subsequent attacks, in order to suppress Li Xingsheng's ability.

"Let's stop the test here, Lin Yuan. Next, I will show my real ability."

As he said this, the magic power in Li Xingsheng's body also erupted at this moment. The huge magic power that was not inferior to Stella was fully displayed at this moment, allowing Lin Yuan to get a glimpse of how powerful the strong man who survived the world war was.

"Although I am not as talented as you and have not reached the realm of immortals at such a young age, I have survived the war and have reached the realm of awakening. In addition, I have been training for so many years, so I am still very confident in my own strength."

At this moment, Li Xingsheng finally showed his true strength.
