Alone and Infinite.

Chapter 188 Sword Qi and Blade Aura!
Listening to Heitan's question, Li Xia casually looked around the street.

The question is actually quite simple: why did Lancelot not harbor resentment but instead feel grateful, even though he paid 50% more than the market price?

This left the simple-minded charcoal utterly baffled.

"Ouch——"

The little dragon on my shoulder immediately perked up and poked its head out, saying:
"The logic is very simple: he's willing to buy at a price higher than the market price. What does that tell us?"

"Meow?"

"This means there's no stock on the market! Monster Hunter World doesn't open every time."

As a world that mass-produces equipment, frequent openings would lead to an imbalance between supply and demand. Therefore, the Temple intentionally controls the number of times and the timing of openings.

With a roar and fluttering whiskers, he surveyed the landscape, only a feather fan separating him from the legendary Crouching Dragon.

"And didn't you notice what he said earlier? He said he almost went to buy it from a black market dealer."

Who are these black market dealers? They'd double your money, and that's nothing to them. They might not make a sale for three months, but when they do, they live off it for a year!
So here's another question: why didn't that kid hide it and just tell me?
Because the market shortage can't be hidden!

Seeing Hei Tan's enlightened expression, Aowu nodded in satisfaction and summarized:

"It's only because our prince is kind-hearted that he added 50%. But this kid is sensible; he's leaving himself an out for the long term."

Black Charcoal nodded frantically, and the innocent kitten felt that the hall was truly full of knowledge.

I can't wait to start learning.

Satisfied, Awoo turned its head and asked:
"Your Highness, what are our plans next?"

After thinking for a while, Li Xia said:
"I'll go to the stall area and see if there are any skills like sword aura or blade light. If not, I'll go to the practice field."

I transferred 20,000 yuan directly to Aowu and Heitan:

"Take the black charcoal with you and go take a look around to see if there's anything you need, focusing on strengthening yourself."

Once all the equipment is upgraded, I'll go to the arena; I heard the rewards for the top ten are pretty good.

After completing the mechanism evolution, I received a notification from the Hall.

According to the dynamic balance, his strength has far exceeded that of an ordinary second-tier apostle, and he has reached a certain limit.

The next battle is the promotion battle.

So if we don't play in the Tier 2 Arena now, we won't have much time left.

"How many?"

The vendor said impatiently:
"What do you mean, how much? Didn't you see the price tag? Thirty thousand Hall Points, no bargaining!"

Li Xia frowned as he looked at a skill book called 'Holy Light Sword' on the stall.

According to the skill description, non-dark negative energy can be used.

When used, energy can be infused into the weapon to unleash a divine sword aura.

Its flight speed is approximately 80 m/s, and its destructive power is roughly equivalent to the damage inflicted when a weapon is swung.

It looks like a very ordinary skill, yet it's priced at 30,000!
Li Xia had long coveted the sword energy and blade aura, and naturally, he had already learned about them.

To determine whether this energy attack mode is good or bad, you mainly need to look at the flight speed and the destructive power bonus.

The Holy Light Sword, which is only of a lower-middle grade, is being sold for 30,000.

Those skills are simply unimaginable!

Li Xia tossed the skill book aside, turned, and walked resolutely toward the training ground.

If you can't buy it, figure it out yourself! Figure it out yourself!

I decisively chose to practice with single-person assistance.

100 Hall Points per hour.

Here, stamina and energy are quickly replenished, and it is often used for practice or developing moves.

If you find a 'tutorial certificate' for a character from a storyline in a treasure chest, you can also materialize that character to teach them skills.

Unfortunately, these 'teaching certificates' were almost always issued for personal use and were not circulated in the market.

Even if there are one or two who are very similar to your own fighting style, it is difficult to find them.

In the empty practice field, Li Xia did not rush to start practicing.

Instead, he sat cross-legged on the ground, pondering carefully.

The so-called blade aura and sword energy is a form of energy utilization, which involves highly compressing energy and then unleashing it through a weapon.

It possesses high-speed, wide-range attack capabilities, compensating for the short attack range of cold weapons.

The first step is to infuse the weapon with true qi.

Li Xia took out the purple, ultimate spear that he had prepared for Ye Ji.

This gun is quite heavy, made entirely of metal, with almost zero toughness, but it is extremely sharp.

True Qi slowly spread along the arm and covered the spear.

That's not difficult; the challenge lies in how to 'throw out' the true qi condensed on the gun.

He tentatively swung the spear.

"Whoosh!" The spear, covered in white true qi, drew a beautiful arc in the air under immense force.

Simply flicking it like that won't work; there must be some special technique involved in confining the energy into a blade shape.
"Your Highness, I bought a book called 'An Overview of Basic Energy' for 200 points. It mentions energy projection. Would you like to take a look?"

A howling sound came from the team channel.

Li Xia's spirits lifted. Aowu was reliable after all. Knowing that he was researching energy projection, he immediately took action!

I couldn't wait to take out "An Overview of Basic Energy" from my personal space. It wasn't expensive because it can't be used directly; it's something I really need to read.

I've opened the first page of the book. There's no time to look at it closely, so I just need a direction, just give me a direction!

then
Li Xia: ?
Introduction: All energy systems (internal force/magic/psychic energy, etc.) are analyzed as "primordial particle streams" when they enter the hall, and sword energy and blade aura are essentially products of arranging particle streams according to a specific topological structure.

First, you need to remember the basic configuration formula: Ψ=∫(E/t)×(χ)× e^(iπ/κ)
I closed the book blankly. This is something I need to study seriously later.

However, the book still mentions the key point of blade light and sword energy, which is resonance.

It does not have a precise resonant frequency, but rather falls within a range depending on the energy level.

The stronger the energy level, the higher the resonance frequency, and the higher the upper limit of the strike.

Those masters who don't understand science accidentally unleash sword energy and blade light through daily and yearly practice.

Through extensive improvement and research, it has evolved and refined step by step.

in other words
There's no other way, just enumerate, kid!

"Woo——"

"Whoosh-"

The spear was waved futilely in mid-air time and time again.

Li Xia's eyes seemed to be only filled with the waving spears, unable to see anything else.

Sweat streamed down his face, quickly soaking a large patch of ground.

This enumeration method is extremely mechanical and tedious, and can even easily wear down one's spirit.

The body and vital energy can recover quickly in the training ground, but the spirit cannot.

One thousand times, two thousand times, three thousand times
His powerful physique allowed him to wield the spear many times faster than the average person.

His willpower finally came into play at this moment. With astonishing perseverance, he continued to wield the spear, trying different energy resonances.

They didn't even realize that they had re-entered the transparent world without their knowledge.

A vertical scar quietly appeared between his eyebrows, and everything around him seemed to slow down.

Li Xia suddenly felt as if she had entered a wondrous realm.

Every movement of the body was so clear in my own perception.

Even the tremors in his muscles were so obvious.

True Qi transformed into leaping sprites in my 'eyes,' and these energy bodies, which were originally mine, carried an extraordinary sense of intimacy.

He faithfully carried out every single one of his brilliant ideas.

Sword energy and blade aura.
Li Xia's brain seemed to have stopped functioning; only these two thoughts sustained him as he continued to wave.

An apostle could wield a spear for an hour or two.

However, when wielding a long spear in conjunction with high-frequency energy resonance, the number of people would be reduced by 90%.

If this time is extended to four or five hours, then another 90% will be removed.

This is a torment that is both physical and mental.

He seemed to have detached himself from his body, watching himself swing the gun again and again from an outsider's perspective.

One hour, two hours, ten hours, twelve hours, twenty hours.

With Li Xia's speed, it wouldn't even take him a second to swing his gun once.

How many times could a gun be swung in an hour? More than 3600 times.
Persistence is a word that sounds very powerful.

Therefore, he rightfully gained power.

That dazzling, semi-circular white light appeared before my eyes like the dawn.

It flew away silently into the distance.

Li Xia's body trembled suddenly. He raised his head, his lifeless eyes staring at the blade's light that was flying further and further away.

He licked his dry, cracked, and pale lips.

[Executioner, you have mastered a technique on your own. Please name it!]

Once the basic tone is set, the subsequent practice won't be so detailed, and there won't be so much theory involved.

One extra chapter, five chapters left!
