Infinite Transmigration Starting from Violet

So what are you going to do now?

"Go to the Immortal Realm, end the root of all this, sever the immortality, and in this way, Ashina's immortality will be eliminated."

"Is that kind of thing... even possible?" Kuro asked, somewhat taken aback. "Isn't that a legendary place?"

“I have found a way to the land of immortals, and I will do it even if it seems impossible,” Lu Ye said firmly. “I will definitely bring her home… no matter the cost. But before that, there is something I would like to ask you for help with, is that alright?”

"You said, as long as I can do it..."

"I need your blood."

"Blood?"

“That’s right. To reach the Immortal Realm, you need the ‘Fragrance of Origin,’ one of the ingredients of which is the blood of the Dragon Prince.”

As Lu Ye spoke, he handed the ancient book that Yongzhen had given him to Jiulang.

Jiulang flipped through a few pages: "These are probably books left behind by my father-in-law. It seems there really is a way to reach the immortal realm, but... I cannot shed blood."

"It's alright, I'll handle this."

"Alright, I promise you, if I can help that lady..."

After thinking for a moment, Jiulang said, "By the way, could you please come over this evening?"

“…To go to the legendary immortal land, you must be well prepared,” Jiulang said. “I will prepare some things for you. If I can truly sever my immortality, then I can also return to being an ordinary person.”

Lu Ye thought for a moment, then nodded slightly, which was considered an agreement.

There should be quite a few samurai at the Ashina-style dojo inside the castle tower.

If you can set aside a day to hone your Ashina style, it will likely be of great help in the battles to come.

This would reduce the chances of his own death, thus buying Violet more time.

"Location?"

“Come to my room,” Jiulang said. “Everyone treated me to a welcome dinner yesterday, and I haven’t had a chance to go back there yet.”

"Okay, it's settled then. By the way... where's Grandpa Hanbei?"

"The gentleman was placed in a house in Ashina Town. He said he would wait for you to come over."

"Really? Thank you."

After a brief conversation, the three parted ways in the main hall.

Lu Ye then headed towards the samurai dojo.

If a contest were proposed... those samurai skilled in Ashina-ryu style wouldn't refuse, would they?

Chapter 132 Slaying All the Dojos

A few hours later.

Tenshukaku (castle tower) - Ashina-ryu Dojo.

The dojo was unusually lively today, with a large circle of Ashina soldiers crowding around, all peering inside.

Inside the vast dojo, there were dozens of warriors dressed in blue dojo robes.

But at this moment, they were all sitting around the edge of the dojo, leaving a large area in the middle empty, and each of them had some kind of injury on them.

In the center of the dojo, Lu Ye stood holding a knife.

Two hours had passed since he parted ways with Kuro, and he had challenged the entire dojo.

Even Sase Jinsuke, the dojo's master, was defeated by Lu Ye's blade a minute ago.

Sase Jinsuke's most powerful move was the Ashina Cross Slash, but after only a few exchanges, his move was broken by Lu Ye.

the reason is simple.

Because Lu Ye now understands the Ashina style, with the help of the [Swordsmanship Manual], he has mastered the basics of all the moves.

Moreover, a large part of the reason he was able to defeat Sase Jinsuke was because the students around him gave him the opportunity to practice.

Just like in a game, as players fight their way up from small monsters to bosses, their strength will also increase.

If Lu Ye's practice last night was about "absorbing" the Ashina style, then his sparring with these disciples was about "digesting" it.

Through battle, Lu Ye gradually began to incorporate the Ashina style into his own.

If Lu Ye had faced Sase Jinsuke from the beginning, he wouldn't have won so easily.

However, even though they are all Ashina-style fighters, their fighting styles can differ from person to person.

Sase Jinsuke mostly relies on the unpredictable timing of Ashina Cross Slash and the powerful force of the move itself.

Influenced by his previous encounter with Isshin Ashina, Lu Ye began to control the power of his sword swings.

The range of the blade swings began to decrease, but this ensured that when attacked, there was still ample time to block and counterattack, avoiding the situation that occurred during the previous battle with Isshin.

The foundation of the Ashina style lies in the techniques of "Kicking Carp" and "Down Carp".

In short, it's about knife fighting skills.

Catching the trajectory of a rapidly swinging blade, deflecting the incoming blade and launching an attack, is likened to a carp in water. Lu Ye suffered a setback in this aspect during his previous match with Yi Xin; the deflected blade caused a momentary stiffness in his body, leading to his defeat in a single move.

Lu Ye now takes every battle very seriously, and he remembers his mistakes so that he won't repeat them.

"Your swordsmanship is truly superb, but this style..."

“That’s right, it’s Ashina style.” Lu Ye readily admitted.

How long have you been learning this?

"one day."

impossible!

Sase Jinsuke almost shouted it out.

But seeing Lu Ye's serious expression, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

The stranger in front of me had no intention of lying, nor any reason to lie.

Ashina Style is a sword technique honed by Isshin Ashina throughout his life, constantly fighting and tackling life-or-death situations.

Afterwards, he focused on integrating his techniques for the Ashina clan and named it Ashina Style.

In other words, any Ashina soldier in the city can use the Ashina style, because Ashina Isshin does not hold back, but how much one can learn depends entirely on each person's effort and understanding.

However, it's a bit unbelievable that a stranger would know Ashina-style.

Although it's unclear why this outsider who made a contract with the princess learned the Ashina style, let's set that aside for now.

As someone who has used the Ashina style swordsmanship for so many years, I was defeated by someone who had just learned the Ashina style...

Sase Jinsuke looked very uncomfortable and lost face.

But that's the truth; he lost to Lu Ye's blade.

"Who is this person?"

"I heard he's the prince's new attendant?"

"They don't look like they're from Ashina..."

"I never expected that you would actually defeat Lord Sase Jinsuke."

Outside the temple, whispers could be heard.

Perhaps it was because there were too many people gathered around the dojo, even people like the Grand General had come.

Seeing this, Lu Ye realized that this was an excellent opportunity.

"Anyone else want to spar with me?" Lu Ye's voice suddenly rose. "What's wrong? Are all Ashina samurai such weaklings? Don't worry, I'll stop short of killing you!"

Upon hearing this, a warrior clad in armor stepped forward.

"Hmph! I can't sit still after hearing that. I want to see just how powerful that guy who killed the owl is!!"

As he stepped forward, the cheers of the Ashina soldiers grew louder.

That was Yamanouchi Norizen, one of the Ashina warriors, a foot soldier commander.

Lu Ye slowly raised his knife.

This is a simple tactic of provocation, but it's very effective.

All he wants now is to increase his strength as quickly as possible, kill the dragon, and rescue the person he cares about.

The battle at the dojo continued into the afternoon.

During this time, Lu Ye fought against many Ashina-style samurai.

Among them are elite monsters from the game, such as Matsumoto Naozōsuke and Kawamoto Naokatsu.

But Lu Ye won every single one of them, without exception.

Although I felt physically exhausted at times, my fighting spirit only grew stronger.

In just one afternoon, Ashina Style reached LV3, a jump of two levels.

Today's battle in the dojo has made the name Lu Ye known throughout Ashina Castle.

……

After taking a bath and changing into some fresh clothes, Lu Ye prepared to head to the prince's residence.

But what struck him as odd was that the number of people began to decrease from the samurai waiting room in the castle tower onwards, as if they were being driven away.

An ominous premonition rose in my heart.

Lu Ye quickened his pace.

Upon arriving at the prince's quarters, they found no trace of Jiulang.

The only one staying here is the doctor, Yongzhen.

She remained by Violet's side.

Upon seeing Lu Ye return, she said nothing, but simply moved gently upwards.

Lu Ye understood, picked up his knife, and walked upwards.
