The shuttle in the second dimension

　With a slightly open mouth, the Monkey King laughed and said, "Ha - it's getting more and more interesting~~~~"

Chapter 36

　training

　Subaru didn't let Lin Xuan wait in the clearing for long. Shortly after Lin Xuan arrived, he also ran over with a wooden stick. Perhaps because of the long journey, Subaru's breathing was a little rapid.

　"Since we're here, let's start." Without any intention of letting Subaru rest, Lin Xuan started training directly.

　"I told you before that since I don't have any memory about swordsmanship, I can't teach you systematically. What I can do is let you learn on your own through constant fighting. As for how much you can learn, it depends on your own luck." After saying that, Lin Xuan walked towards Subaru.

　"This time, I will take the initiative to attack, but don't worry, I will try my best to adjust my strength to a level similar to yours." Having said that, Lin Xuan took a step forward and rushed towards Subaru, while also starting to swing the wooden stick in his hand.

　boom--

　Perhaps because he had reduced his own strength, the wooden stick swung by Lin Xuan was not as fast as Subaru had imagined. But even though he could clearly see the trajectory of the wooden stick, Subaru's body still could not react at all, and he still did not have time to swing the stick to block Lin Xuan's attack.

　With a dull thud, Lin Xuan's wooden stick struck Subaru directly in the middle of his left shinbone. While Lin Xuan's previous experience with that strange state had nearly caused him to do something he regretted, the improvement in his strength was undeniable. His control over both his physical strength and the dark destructive force had greatly improved. This allowed Lin Xuan to better control his power, so while the force he struck at Subaru was painful, it didn't cause any significant damage. At most, it was a minor injury that could be healed with a day's rest.

　"Ah!!" The pain from his left calf made Subaru cry out in pain. If he hadn't held back, he would have thrown the stick in his hand away.

　Looking at Subaru, who was grimacing in pain but still adjusting his posture to defend himself, Lin Xuan widened his eyes in surprise. "I underestimated you, Subaru."

　"Next, as long as you don't put down the stick in your hand, I will not stop attacking. Let me see how long your determination can allow you to hold on, Subaru." After saying that, Lin Xuan began to continue attacking Subaru.

　The next moment, Subaru's screams rang out one after another, echoing throughout the entire mansion.

　-

　In the afternoon, looking at Subaru watering the trees in the courtyard with a look of despair on his face, Lin Xuan, who was sitting cross-legged in the courtyard, curled his lips and asked helplessly.

　"Are you so hopeless? The injuries on your body are not as serious as when you were slashed open by the Gut Hunter."

　It would have been fine if Lin Xuan hadn't mentioned it, but as soon as he did, Subaru looked at him resentfully. "I almost passed out at that time, and Emilia Tan treated me afterwards. But now, not only am I still conscious, but you won't let me get treatment. Every time I move, I feel pain."

　"This is for your own good. Only when you know the pain and are afraid of it, will you work harder to prevent such a situation from happening again." Lin Xuan explained with a smile.

　"I know." Subaru curled his lips in dissatisfaction and said reluctantly, "I just complained." At this point, Subaru paused, and after a short silence, he continued, "Thank you for taking the time to train me."

　Subaru knew very well that Lin Xuan could choose not to train him. He was not related to him and he had no obligation to help him. Moreover, Lin Xuan had to spend a lot of time every day to redevelop the power he had forgotten. It was already very good that he could take time out to train himself.

　"If you really want to thank me, then work hard to become stronger and live well. I don't want my future life to become a reincarnation again and again." After saying that, Lin Xuan stood up, turned around and was about to leave. Before leaving, he waved to Subaru behind him.

　"The pain on your body will only last for one day at most. It will almost go away tomorrow. And then—" Having said this, Lin Xuan turned his head slightly, glanced at Subaru, raised the corner of his mouth, and looked at Subaru meaningfully, "Continue tomorrow."

　After saying that, Lin Xuan left, leaving Subaru with his eyes wide open, staring in the direction Lin Xuan left.

　"Just one day? Continue tomorrow?" Subaru muttered, his face suddenly becoming bitter.

　"Doesn't that mean I'll be in constant pain for the rest of my life!?" The more Subaru spoke, the more bitter his expression became. At the end, he screamed out in pain.

　"No way!!!"

　-

　In the evening, Rem came to Lin Xuan's room on time as usual and taught him to read.

　Halfway through teaching, Rem suddenly said, "Lin Xuan, weren't you a little too harsh when you trained Subaru this afternoon? Subaru's screams echoed throughout the mansion. His sister even complained that if she had known Subaru would be so noisy, she should not have agreed to his request."

　"There's nothing I can do about it." Shrugging helplessly, Lin Xuan continued, "I have no memory of swordsmanship, so I can't systematically teach him how to practice with the sword. Even when I swing the sword now, I still rely on the memories engraved on my body. So, I can only use this method to make him stronger." As he spoke, Lin Xuan waved his hand, indicating that Rem didn't need to worry at all.

　"Don't worry, I controlled the force of my blows very well. He'll be in pain, but he won't be seriously injured. And it won't affect his work much if he endures it."

　"It looks like Subaru will be in pain for a while."

　"If you want to become stronger quickly, you have to pay more." Lin Xuan said with a shrug.

　"That's right." Rem agreed with Lin Xuan's words.

　"Oh, right." As if remembering something, Rem took out a book.

　"You're probably almost done reading the book I showed you before, Lin Xuan. Now read this one. If you don't understand anything, you can always ask Rem." After saying that, Rem handed the book in his hand to Lin Xuan.

　"Thanks, Rem."

　"This is what Rem should do." In response to Lin Xuan's thanks, Rem shook his head and said with a smile.

　"Even so, I still want to thank Rem." Lin Xuan chuckled as he gently touched Rem's head.

　Feeling the friction between the warm palm and hair, Rem narrowed her eyes as if enjoying it, and her fair face was stained with a slight blush.

　"Ah."

Chapter 37 Training Begins

　"Mekar, one of the most powerful gods in the Mediterranean, the king of the gods, a great warrior, the strongest dragon slayer, what kind of power can I gain by killing you!"

　In the strong wind, Lin Xuan faced the giant that blocked out the sky and the sun. Not only did he not show even a trace of fear, he also acted rebellious and looked extremely happy.

　As soon as these words were spoken, the tall giant immediately lowered his head and looked at Lin Xuan who was standing not far from his feet, and let out a cold snort that made the ocean roll.

　"Son of Fool, you are worthy of death for challenging me, the God King. Today, I will bury you here!!!"

　"Really? Then Mekal, use your strength and try to bury me here." Lin Xuan smiled calmly, but his expression was still full of madness.

　"I may be a king, but I am also a warrior, a dragon slayer, a god of victory. Let me use my club to smash your arrogant face! Son of a Fool!!!"

　As soon as he finished speaking, a pair of rough sticks suddenly appeared in Mekal's hands.

　They were a pair of sticks that appeared with storms and lightning respectively.

　Although the surface was extremely rough, the wind and lightning flashing back and forth on it caused waves, causing the space to vibrate.

　"Hahahaha!" Lin Xuan also laughed wildly because of the excitement in his heart. The extremely terrifying curse power rose up with that "petite" body as the center.

　"Come! King of the Mediterranean, Mekal!"

　The next moment, the fist and the stick collided with each other. The huge stick and the tiny fist, such an incongruous scene made people feel that this was as it should be.

　"Bang——" a low muffled sound was heard.

　After taking three steps back, Lin Xuan's mouth cracked with excitement, "Come again!!! Mekal" After saying that, Lin Xuan rushed towards Mekal again. Although there was a huge difference in body size between the two, the competition in strength between the two was evenly matched.

　"Haha, as expected, this kind of close combat makes my blood boil." He poured the cursed power in his body into the power [Unyielding Lord of Soldiers] without reservation, constantly strengthening his own physical strength.

　"Kid, I acknowledge your strength, but it's not enough!!!"

　"call out----!"

　The stick in his hand seemed to turn into a flash of illusory lightning. Mekal swung the stick and swung it out fiercely like a wind wheel. With the force of a mountain pressing down on his head, and with the heavy sonic boom, it brought up a sharp force that made Noah's skin sting, and smashed down on Lin Xuan's body.

　Although Mekal's body is huge, his attack speed is as fast as lightning.

　"I am the Central Heavenly Emperor, holding all the thunder in the world in my hands. My enemies will be crushed to pieces by my thunder." The words came out of Lin Xuan's mouth.

　The dark thunder began to wrap around Lin Xuan's body.

　"Bang————" The fist and stick wrapped in dark thunder collided again.

　“Boom boom——————” The ground, unable to withstand the huge pressure, began to collapse and sink.

　"Get out of my way!!!!" Waving his other fist to knock the huge stick away, Lin Xuan jumped high and rushed towards Mekal.

　But Lin Xuan seemed to have underestimated Mekal's speed.

　"Ha——!" With a loud shout, Mekal raised his hand and swung the huge stick in his hand fiercely, cutting through the void and leaving a long afterimage in the space.

　"Damn it!!!" Lin Xuan was hit hard by the stick as he was unable to change direction in the air.

　"Boom!!!!" Like a cannonball, Lin Xuan was knocked directly into the ground by Mekal.

　"Cough cough cough——————" He jumped out from the ground, and the smoke around him made him cough.

　Patting the dust off his body, Lin Xuan couldn't help but complain, "Such a big body, and still so flexible, it's really abnormal!"

　"But this is fun." Lin Xuan grinned as he looked at Mekal who was rushing towards him.

　"I am the very beginning of the very beginning. All things that exist and those that do not exist, those that are visible and those that are invisible, are born out of my power." The ancient words echoed with an arrogant tone.

　Suddenly, an ancient sword appeared in Lin Xuan's hand. Gently stroking the ancient blade, Lin Xuan said, "Although I infused it with the power that broke it last time, and even violently injected it with a huge amount of power, and it was hit by the destructive force sent by Chronos, causing it to shatter directly, and finally I plundered most of its power, but after that shattering, it was restored within my body, and the toughness of the sword has reached a new level. I think it should be the best carrier of that power." Lin Xuan chuckled twice and slightly raised the Xuanyuan Sword.

　"————I swear here that I will not allow anything to exist that I cannot cut. This sword can cut through everything on earth. It is an invincible blade————"

　When the invincible words slowly came out of Lin Xuan's mouth, the huge curse power in his body all flowed into his hands, turning Lin Xuan's sword-holding hand directly into a silver arm of steel.

　"Qiang————!"

　The next moment, a brilliant sword light rushed towards Mekal, leaving a smooth cut on the ground along the way.

　"How is this possible!!! Isn't that Lord Sarbatre's power!!!" X2 When Lin Xuan used the power [Torn Silver Hand], Lily and Erica, who were watching the battle from a distance, exclaimed in unison.

　As if feeling threatened by the brilliant sword light, Mekal did not take the attack head-on, but instead thrust forward and deflected his huge body to avoid the sword light.

　"So this huge body plus this damn flexibility makes him a pervert!!!" Lin Xuan couldn't help but complain while waving the sword in his hand.

　Then now you can see a huge body constantly dodging the gorgeous sword light with flexible movements, which gradually creates a sense of incongruity.

　"Tsk——this flexibility..." Frowning, Lin Xuan said, "Lower it!!"

　"Boom——" The dark thunder fell from the sky and struck Mekal.

　"Little devil, I am the god of storms, lightning, and the sky. You actually want to use thunder and lightning to hinder me. Don't you underestimate me?!"

　As if to verify Mekal's words, the dark thunder did not cause much damage to him.

　"Tsk, it turns out that Mekal and I are not compatible." Looking at the approaching God King, Lin Xuan complained.

Chapter 38: Training in Progress

　"Tsk, it turns out that Mekal and I are not compatible." Looking at the approaching God King, Lin Xuan complained.

　After complaining, the smile on Lin Xuan's face began to fade.

　"Disperse~~~~~~~~" Lin Xuan declared to the thunderclouds in the sky.

　The thunderclouds that filled the sky began to dissipate, but the storm showed no signs of abating.

　"Tsk——Damn it, Mekal's control over the sky is better than mine——" But Mekal didn't give Lin Xuan a chance to complain. The huge stick left a long afterimage and swung towards Lin Xuan fiercely.

　"Boom!!!" He dodged to the side to avoid Mekal's attack.

　"Hahahaha————!! Kid, come again." After saying that, Mekal swung the stick in his hand with illegal agility and hit Lin Xuan.
