Swallowing the Stars: My Comprehension is Beyond the Heavens!

Chapter 59 The Purple-Gold Lion and the Second Level of Sword Technique

After selling the Phantom Butterfly, Luo Xia and Luo Feng did not go home, but instead returned to City 023 to cultivate.

For the next month or so, Luo Xia and Luo Feng were both immersed in cultivation.

Luo Feng's strength increased rapidly because he could absorb the crystal cores of the Phantom Butterfly.

Although Luo Xia's physical attributes have also improved, he is still at the level of a high-level warrior. However, he is about to master the second level of swordsmanship.

On this day, Luo Xia was fighting a high-level beast general, a purple-gold lion, while Luo Feng stood by and helped Luo Xia fend off other beast soldier-level monsters under the purple-gold lion's head.

This purple-gold lion is extremely powerful. Although it is only a beast general, its strength has faintly reached the level of a primary lord!

It is extremely large, about eight or nine meters long and three or four meters high, with explosive muscles all over its body and wild, unrestrained purple-gold fur!

"roar!"

The golden lion roared and pounced on Luo Xia.

Its speed had already broken the speed of sound. In its movements, it was as if it were teleporting. In an instant, it pounced in front of Luo Xia and slashed out with a ferocious claw!

sizzle!

The air was whipped up by the purple-gold lion's claws, creating white gusts of air. Before it could even reach Luo Xia's body, his skin felt a tearing force!

The Purple Lion is too powerful!

Its strength, defense, and speed are all a level above the Silver Moon Wolf that Luo Xia and Luo Feng encountered last time!

If Luo Xia hadn't possessed the physical attributes of a high-level warrior, he probably would have been devoured by this purple-gold lion in a single encounter!

As the purple-gold lion's claws came swoop down, Luo Xia's expression turned solemn, his eyes focused, and he raised his longsword to block it.

Bah!

Claws clashed with the blade!

A tremendous force emanated from the blade, causing Rorschach to retreat continuously, dissipating the terrifying power of the Purple-Gold Lion.

Swish!

however--

Before Luo Xia could even regain his footing, the Purple-Gold Lion's other claw strike followed closely behind, grabbing from the side with a fierce gust of wind.

Four times the power technique!

At the critical moment, Luo Xia had no time to defend himself, so he had to use his power generation technique to increase his speed instantly and dodge the Purple Gold Lion's attack!

The so-called power generation techniques.

In essence, it is a technique for controlling physical strength.

Of course, in the worldview of Swallowing the Stars, this kind of control technique has a special term—amplitude.

This amplitude can currently be simply equated with a multiple of the force exertion technique.

For example, if Rorschach has now mastered the technique of exerting four times the force, it means that his body amplitude has reached four times!

This amplitude technique can be used not only to enhance strength, but also for defense and speed!

It greatly enhances defense and speed!

For example, Rorschach is now using this technique to instantly quadruple his speed!

Of course, this kind of application isn't something you can just use whenever you want.

Amplitude force and amplitude velocity are different.

The techniques involved require adjustment and practice!

At first, Rorschach could only manage to increase the amplitude of his power by four times, but with training, he was able to apply this technique to speed and defense.

With his increased speed and four times the explosive power, he vanished from the Purple Lion's sight in an instant.

The Purple-Gold Lion, which possesses near-human intelligence, was clearly taken aback. Before it could react, Luo Xia, who appeared to its side, unleashed a flash of his longsword!

Clang!

Four times the power emanated from the longsword, striking the Purple-Gold Lion. With a muffled hiss, Luo Xia slashed a deep wound into the Purple-Gold Lion!

"Aww!"

The golden lion let out a painful howl, struggled for a moment, and dodged out of Rorschach's attack range.

It's important to know that after his power increased fourfold, Luo Xia's strength had reached the level of a mid-level War God!

Although the purple-gold lion is powerful, it is only a monster with strength close to that of a low-level lord, but is merely a high-level beast general!

Luo Xia's sword strike had already severely injured the Purple Gold Lion.

"roar!"

The golden lion's eyes turned red. It roared, completely enraged. Its massive body seemed to grow even larger, and an unparalleled aura erupted from it, sweeping across the surroundings.

Luo Xia gripped his longsword, facing the fury of the purple-gold lion with a calm expression. He narrowed his eyes slightly and murmured softly—

"Next, it's time to try the second level of the sword technique..."

The longsword gleamed coldly in the sunlight.

As his voice faded into the wind, Rorschach began to attempt the second level of swordsmanship, a technique that required eight times the force.

He first used this technique to improve his speed, disappearing from his spot in a flash!

In Luo Feng's vision, his younger brother's speed suddenly increased dramatically, and as he moved, he could only see a distorted afterimage.

Before Luo Feng's eyes could keep up with Luo Xia's speed, Luo Xia, who had reached the head of the Purple-Gold Lion at eight times the speed, had already flashed his sword and thrust it toward the Purple-Gold Lion's forehead.

boom!

In the instant the sonic boom resounded through the heavens and earth, Luo Xia's longsword, imbued with eight times the original power of his body, instantly leaped to the level of a high-level war god and slammed into the head of the purple-gold lion!

The purple-gold lion had no time to react; its incredibly hard forehead was pierced by Luo Xia's longsword in an instant, and its brain was shredded by the sword energy.

"Roar!"

The golden lion stared wide-eyed at the blue sky, completely bewildered. It never expected that Luo Xia's strength could increase eightfold in an instant.

After a mournful roar, it collapsed helplessly to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust!

Luo Xia lightly leaped off the head of the purple-gold lion, his longsword humming softly, and drops of blood dripped onto the ground along the grooves of the blade.

"The 5-element Silver Moon Longsword is indeed not very good; it already has cracks."

Rorschach noticed the crack on the blade, frowned slightly, and sighed.

Luo Feng, having already dealt with the other beast-soldier level monsters, wiped his Blood Shadow Battle Blade. Hearing Luo Xia's mutterings, he couldn't help but say:

"We've made a lot of money recently, so when we get back we can upgrade our weapons. We'll see if we can get 7th or 8th series weapons."

We'll see when the time comes.

Rorschach nodded.

While using throwing knives to remove the valuable materials from the monsters, Luo Feng asked Luo Xia, "I noticed your speed and strength suddenly increased significantly just now. Have you mastered the second level of your self-created sword technique?"

Luo Xia smiled slightly, peeling the fur off the purple-gold lion with a throwing knife as he said, "Hmm, you've almost mastered it. Now you just need to keep practicing and you'll be able to use it proficiently."

Luo Feng asked, "Can this kind of power generation technique also be used for speed?"

"Of course, brother. You should have noticed that what we call power generation techniques are actually a kind of control over the body's strength."

Rorschach explained, "This control can be applied to all aspects of the body, such as speed and defense!"

As he spoke, he even gave Luo Feng a demonstration on the spot.

Luo Feng watched Luo Xia's demonstration thoughtfully. In the past, when he practiced the Nine-fold Thunder Blade, he only thought about improving his attack power, but he never thought that this technique could also be applied to his defense and speed!

He tried it out and found that this technique of generating power was more difficult to apply to speed or defense than to enhance attack power!

The techniques involved need to be adjusted and modified to some extent.
