I'm only one year old, what the hell is the counterattack system?

Chapter 12: Small Success in Swordsmanship
[Mission completed, reward: Minor accomplishment in swordsmanship.]

[Host, please find a quiet place to receive. 】

Two days later, the Xinggong Mansion and Wu'an Hou Mansion announced the news together, confirming their marriage.

Chen Yi received a notification on the panel that the task was completed.

He directly chose to accept the mission reward.

"hiss!"

This time, what emerged in his mind were no longer those sword techniques, but various scenes of famous mountains and rivers, deep seas and rivers, demons and monsters.

The only thing that is the same is that in each picture, there is a person whose figure and appearance cannot be seen clearly, holding a three-foot-long green sword and dancing with it.

Standing on the top of a majestic mountain, looking at the quiet mountain peaks in the empty valley, the long sword in his hand danced as if it weighed ten thousand pounds, with great force and heft.

By the river, the sword techniques are the same, but the sword shadows are heavy and dense, and seem to be endless.

In the face of demons and monsters, that figure fought against them with the long sword in his hand, no longer sticking to sword techniques and sword moves, but pursuing speed, accuracy and ruthlessness.

Each sword is like an antelope hanging its horns, stabbing, slashing, or chopping, hitting the monster at its weak point, and the sword energy is so powerful that it can kill it with one blow.

Chen Yi couldn't help but immerse himself in those scrolls, as if he was the swordsman, witnessing the mountains, rivers and seas, and killing all the demons with the sword in his hand.

[You begin to comprehend the meaning of the sword, and the sword technique and mind become one. You are now able to express your will through the sword in your hand, giving the sword a certain spirituality.]

Chen Yi did not see the message. As he became more and more immersed in the art, the jade sword hanging on his wrist swayed gently a few times, as if it had a soul.

I do not know how long it has been.

"Second brother, second brother, second brother..."

The sound came from far away and Chen Yi woke up from the scrolls.

"what happened?"

"You," Chen Yuan stretched out his little hand and touched his forehead, and asked seriously like a little adult: "Are you sick?"

"No."

"I couldn't wake you up no matter how hard I called you. I wanted to go find Second Mother..."

"Just fell asleep."

Chen Yi thought of the previous scenes, summoned the panel light screen, and looked at the contents on it.

【Name: Chen Yi】

【Age: 31】

[Cultivation: None]

[Talent: Late bloomer - the older the bone age, the faster the cultivation speed]

[Kendo: Minor Success - Only by traveling around the world, being good at fighting and using swords well, can one comprehend the meaning of swords.]

【Counterattack Points: 0/100】

Chen Yi let out a long sigh, his sword art has achieved some success!

Although he has not yet fully comprehended the meaning of the sword, compared to before when he only knew sword techniques and sword moves, he now has a deeper understanding of the way of the sword.

Especially the memories of killing monsters in his mind, which made him feel that "with a sword in hand, he can conquer the world."

Unfortunately, he still has no cultivation now. He has attainments in swordsmanship but is unable to support it.

Build the foundation!

After his foundation building is assessed, he can then strengthen his physique and practice basic exercises!
"Second brother, I have a question for you."

"Ok?"

Chen Yuan's face was a little tangled, and he said a little embarrassedly: "Do you think I should go to my mother and tell her about the engagement?"

"got engaged?"

"Uh-huh."

Chen Yi thought, could it be that his previous deception had aroused the boss's interest?

"Why do you suddenly want to get engaged?"

"Today I heard my mother say that you are engaged and will definitely achieve something with the help of Duke Xing. I also want to..."

"What else did the lady say?"

"Also, there's more," Chen Yuan tilted his head, thought for a while and said, "I also said something about asking you to pass the foundation building assessment... I forgot."

Passed the foundation building assessment? Chen Yi thought for a few seconds, and the smile on his face slowly disappeared.

I'm afraid what the old lady meant was "failed to pass the foundation-building assessment"?

"Is this what Auntie told you?"

"No, no, I told the nanny," Chen Yuan scratched his head and looked at him pitifully: "Second brother, you can't tell mother that I eavesdropped, she will beat me."

"Don't worry, I will never betray you."

"Then, then do you think I should go find my mother?"

"No."

Chen Yi's face suddenly became serious, like a high monk, and he spoke slowly:
"Brother, do you know why I got engaged?"

"I don't know." Chen Yuan shook his head.

"Remember the temple we went to before?"

"Remember, bald donkey, thief bald."

"…That's not important. What's important is that when that Buddha was born, he told me that women are all rosy skeletons."

"Skull, skeleton." Chen Yuan's face was panicked, "Demon?"

"It's not a demon, but it's worse than a demon!"

Chen Yi closed his eyes with compassion: "The Buddha appeared in my dream and said, 'If I don't go to hell, who will?' He told me to get engaged as soon as possible so as to save the people of the world."

Chen Yuan couldn't help but widen his eyes, and after a while of hesitation, he asked, "Second brother, then can I, can I also save the people of the world?"

"You?" Chen Yi shook his head and sighed, "I'm afraid not. You called me 'bald donkey' so many times before. It's too late now."

"Then I'll change it!"

"That's fine. Once you've fixed it, I'll talk to the Buddhist and ask him to give you the mission of saving the common people."

Chen Yi suppressed his smile and said with a flushed face: "Before that, you need to study every day and strive to grow into a man who can stand tall and proud."

"Yeah, yeah, I can definitely do it!"

Seeing Chen Yuan running out the door in a hurry, Chen Yi quickly covered himself with the quilt and laughed.

I don’t know if the boss will come to kill him when he grows up and recalls this dark history.

If it were him, he would probably want to cut that person into pieces.

After laughing for a while, Chen Yi stood up and walked to the window, looking at the green willows outside the window and thinking.

As the foundation building assessment approaches, the old lady's movements will become more frequent.

"It seems that Cartilage Powder is not the final resort. I am afraid there will be other changes in the last period of time."

"Poisoning? This is the safest way. She will most likely choose this method."

With the panel in place, Chen Yi is not worried about this.

The fear is that if her plan fails, she will take even more extreme actions.

Like assassination?

Chen Yi's heart moved slightly. He glanced at the jade sword on his wrist and casually grasped it. A faint feeling of joy came from the bottom of his heart.

"You can't bear it anymore, Xiao Jianjian."

"Don't like this name? How about Xiao Yuyu?"

"Oh, you don't like it either?"

Chen Yi talked to himself for a while, and a smile appeared on his face again.

Although there was not much ancestral blessing energy left on the small jade sword, it was enough for him to strike out with the sword.

However, if it really came to that, Zhou Wanyi, Chen Yuan, and even the Tiance Marquis Zhou family would be at war with him until death.

"Just because I don't kill Boren doesn't mean that Boren doesn't have a way to die!"

Chen Yi's expression no longer looked as well-behaved and childlike as usual, but unusually cold.

He can temporarily endure the poisoning and damage to his body, and he can also not vent his anger on others, provided that his bottom line is not touched.

Otherwise - death!

PS: Thanks to Deep Blue Waltz for the reward.
