Infinite Transmigration Starting from Violet

"You woke up so quickly? Are you leaving already?"

"There is no reason to leave, but there is also no reason to stay here for a long time."

"Is that so?" Lu Ye thought for a moment and said, "Then do you want to come with us?"

"Hmm?" Hanbei cast a questioning look at him.

“You said yesterday that you wanted to commit suicide, right? Maybe I can help you.”

"I appreciate your kindness, but I'm afraid ordinary methods won't be able to kill me." Hanbei seemed to remember something and said, "When I was looking for a way to destroy myself, I heard that to sever immortality, one must rely on the power of the 'Mortal Blade'."

"The Mortal Blade?" Lu Ye was taken aback.

Hanbei nodded slightly, then sighed, "But I didn't find it. Maybe... it's just a legend."

"Not necessarily."

"What do you mean, sir?..."

“Old man, your body is very strange. You can’t die even if you’re cut with a knife. If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I might have thought it was a legend. But since there is such a magical power as ‘immortality’ in the world, there must also be a way to break immortality.”

Lu Ye's words seemed to have moved Hanbei.

That's right, not finding the Mortal Blade doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

A person who possesses the power of immortality...

And a blade capable of severing the immortal...

In Lu Ye's view, the relationship between the two is already quite obvious.

Why would you go to the trouble of helping me?

“Not a gang leader, but a mutual aid,” Lu Ye said. “I will find the Mortal Blade to help you cross to the other side, and before that… old man, how about you teach me swordsmanship?”

"But that southern barbarian woman beside you..."

"How should I put it, she still lacks experience in teaching people."

After a while, Hanbei closed his eyes slightly.

"Well, I have nothing else to do anyway... I'll just use this to kill time."

He had doubts about whether Lu Ye could find the Immortal Blade.

But, as he said.

Since they are immortal and have nothing to do, they just pass the time.

As dawn broke, the sky began to lighten, turning a pale white.

Meanwhile, on the riverbank below the village, Lu Ye stood panting, holding a katana.

From the moment Hanbei agreed, Lu Ye couldn't wait to start training.

He originally wanted to use a wooden stick, but Hanbei insisted on using a sword, saying that the feel of the weapon was very important.

Lu Ye thought about it and agreed, since Old Master Hanbei wouldn't die anyway...

More than two hours had passed, and his best achievement was only managing to stab Hanbei in the shoulder, leaving only a shallow wound.

This left Lu Ye feeling somewhat frustrated.

The attack is either blocked or deflected.

If Hanbei had used a little more force, Lu Ye might have lost his balance the moment he slashed.

"Hey, what are you doing?!"

Suddenly, someone shouted from the grassy slope.

That's Zhengji. He stood there waving: "Come back for dinner!"

"Well, let's call it a day for this morning. Haven't you practiced swordsmanship before?"

"No." Lu Ye wiped the sweat from his forehead and sheathed his katana.

"To have mastered this level in just two hours, your swordsmanship is probably quite good..." After saying that, Hanbei turned his gaze to Seikichi on the grassy slope, "Hmm, if it's that kid, it should take three days... no, about five days."

Chapter 109 The Undying Giant Ape

After breakfast, Lu Ye was preparing to continue training with Hanbei by the river.

But Sister Ling called them back.

"Are you leaving already? The village and Zhengji have received your help. Although the food is little, it's enough to fill our stomachs..."

“No, we’re just going out for a little while, we’ll be back soon,” Lu Ye said. “We’ll be bothering you for a while longer.”

"I see. But remember not to go deep into the mountains." Looking at the distant mountains, Sister Ling said with a sigh, "Going deep into the mountains... will lead to encountering the spirits."

"Disappeared without a trace?"

Lu Ye did know this word.

"God disappears" means that a god has vanished, or that a god will hide someone.

Another interpretation of "divine disappearance" is that it means "being hidden away by gods and monsters," receiving their hospitality, and disappearing from human society with no known whereabouts.

Could there be something in these mountains?

"Alright, let's go."

Hanbei walked forward with his slightly hunched back.

—Let's ask Sister Ling when we get back.

Thinking this, Lu Ye followed.

……

The blade sliced ​​through the air, and sweat dripped onto the pebbles, splashing out tiny water stains.

—If I had put in this much effort when I was in school, I would have already received an acceptance letter from a 985 or 211 university.

This was a ridiculous thought that flashed through Lu's mind during a moment of mental confusion.

When people are tired, they tend to have all sorts of random thoughts.

Just like when you're working late at a construction site, you always think of the warmth of a little pink lamp when you're half asleep.

Lu Ye is currently in this state.

From morning until noon, for a full four hours, his body never stopped.

Hanbei said that the best way to teach swordsmanship is through practice.

While Violet can do this too, she can't pinpoint Lu Ye's strengths and weaknesses as clearly as Hanbei.

More importantly, because Hanbei won't die, Lu Ye can unleash his full power.

The water flowed gently, and the two people on the bank were still fencing, while Violet squatted on the pebble beach, catching shrimp in the river.

Lu Ye seized the opportunity when Hanbei raised his sword and launched an attack.

He swung his sword, the blade moving from left to right, intending to sever Hanbei's arm.

Through the previous few hours of training, he understood that if he tried to attack the opponent's body directly, he would definitely be blocked by Hanbei's excellent swordsmanship. So he pretended to attack the torso, but his intention was to attack Hanbei's hand holding the sword.

But just as he was about to strike, Hanbei suddenly pulled back his arm and swung his sword upwards.

"clang!!"

The blades clashed with a crisp sound, and Lu Ye's katana was deflected.

How could that be?

Lu Ye was puzzled; he was so close to succeeding!

It feels like you're shooting a basketball and seeing it bouncing around the edge of the hoop.

It was about to be a goal when suddenly a gust of wind blew, and the ball clattered to the ground...

“You have to be careful with the force when you swing your sword,” Hanbei said. “Too much force will stiffen your muscles and body. When you’re looking for an opening, it doesn’t take much force to kill someone. People aren’t stones. Give a five-year-old a sword and he can kill a sleeping adult.”

"I understand... but how did you realize that?"

“I deliberately gave you an opening, thinking you would aim for my torso, but I didn’t expect your target to be my hand holding the sword…” Hanbei said. “I couldn’t have dodged it… If you had been a little more agile, you might have hit me just now.”

"Is that so..."

"Yeah, even though they're unorthodox methods, we'll use any trick as long as we can win."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ye nodded in agreement.

To be honest, if we really encountered a formidable enemy...

He would adopt a defensive stance, and then take advantage of the opponent's inattention to fire a shot!

What kind of bullshit Bushido spirit is that? It's nothing in front of me!

Lu Ye glanced at the panel.

The basic swordsmanship has reached LV3, and there are only two more levels to reach the advanced swordsmanship.

By then, he will be able to compete with ordinary warriors without the aid of external forces.

"That's enough for today. Go and recover your strength. You have considerable talent in swordsmanship, but unfortunately, I don't know any particular style."

After Hanbei finished speaking, he sat down by the river, his thoughts seemingly immersed in the past.

He recalled the war of usurpation that took the country decades ago.

His lord was stabbed in the foot and then killed.

The man who killed his lord was not only a master swordsman, but also ruthless and unscrupulous.

Even Hanbei himself was cleaved in two by that man's extremely domineering slash.

The entire body physically split open, from head to navel.

Looking at the sky, Lu Ye said to Hanbei.

"Grandpa, you should go back first. Violet and I are going hunting."

"Alright then." Hanbei nodded.
