Sword Devil Also Dual Cultivates?

Chapter 4: Bloodline Ability

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Qin silently ran at the edge of the forest. But no matter how silent, he tried to get the wind still made some noise. He didn't want to make noise because he was holding a book in his hand. He was trying to read while running so that he can save some time for reading later.

Since his road was completely straight without a single obstacle like a tree, he didn't need to get distracted as long as he keeps on the straight path. Thankfully, his rope walking training came to work.

"Wind Splitting Sword Art"

Qin began to memorize this sword art. But, the more he reads, the better his comprehension gets. It's like he comprehended the meaning behind this art while reading it. The same thing was happening again and his heart was giggling.

This was a martial art. Unlike cultivation techniques, martial art teaches people how to compress, expand, and use the qi inside their body to attack, defend and move. In this case, it teaches how to compress qi into a sword and attack.

When a person fights, he needs to take care of many things from the opponent's attack to his own martial art. If he gets late by a split second, he might get injured or the worst, he might die. That's why a person must perfect his martial art in order to fight safely in the future.

Wind Splitting Sword Art was unique for its rapid speed. Once used, he can attack his opponents in three forms. Long-range form, here he compresses qi into his sword and releases it from the sharper edge. The edge makes qi sharper and the speed makes it faster. So that the qi can split air or wind to attack his opponent at a faster speed.

Then there is short-range form, here he compresses his qi into the sword. But instead of releasing it, he coats the edge with the qi. The qi increases his sword's durability and power when he clashes with his opponent's attack.

Finally, there is a multiple sword form. This is rather similar to long-range form but there is a twist. Instead of releasing it from his sword, he needs to condense the sword. It's just like how he coats his sword in the second form but with only his visualization.

This made Wind Splitting Sword Art get divided into three forms.

First Form- Splitting the Wind

Second Form- Splitting the Ground

Third Form- Qi Sword

'Hmm! something doesn't feel, right? Why do I feel like I can simply release the qi with a swing of my sword?' Suddenly, Qin unsheathed his sword and raised it. He focused the qi from his dantian to his hand. It followed out of the meridian and to reach veins.

When qi reached his hand, it reached out his sword and started compressing at the edge of the sword. When Qin swings his sword down, a white blade arc gushed out of the edge and moved towards the tree.

Ka-cha!

'Shit!' Qin puts back his sword and speechlessly looked at the branch that fell on the ground. His qi strike against the branch and managed to cut it. It happened so naturally that Qin was left speechless.

'Is this the talent of someone with Great Emperor Bloodline?' Qin asked himself as he pondered on this. Suddenly, his eyes shrunk he found something.

'Wait, I never get to check the ability that I got from this bloodline.' Qin hurriedly puts the back under his shirt and sat on the ground. He closed his eyes and focus on his mind.

Soon, he started seeing those characters once again. He skipped that and went to the last lines.

[Great Tan Bloodline Ability- Lightning Spirit Body]

[Lightning Spirit Body- Using the bloodline, one can temporarily access the lightning spirit body. If it is used continuously, the body will get permanent access to Lightning Spirit Body.]

When he heard that same voice repeating the words, he couldn't help but feel speechless. He might be an orphan but he still knows how to read and write. He could literally understand everything that was in front of him.

But, he was genuinely shocked by the Lightning Spirit Body even though he didn't know what it was. Just word lightning was enough to make him excited. And, since it also had the word 'body', he could relate it to his physical body.

'Wait, doesn't that mean whenever I activate this bloodline ability, I would be able to throw lightning from my hands? Maybe I could even release it from the sword, maybe spear, ax isn't a bad idea either. Hmm! How about a hammer?'

'Nah! If I have a strong hammer, I can simply use it to smash somebody. Why would I use the hammer to release the lightning? Though it would look cool when I smash my hammer on the ground and lightning release all around me, destroying my enemies.'

'That would look so cool. But, I am not going to hold a hammer with my fragile hands.'

Qin stood up while thinking to himself. Now that he had confirmed the bloodline ability, he didn't look back and ran towards the forest. Soon, the sun started to set.

'I should probably go a little deeper and find catch some Infant Phase Rank One Monsters.' Qin thought to himself as he turned his head to the right side. There was a deep forest in his view but on the left side, there was the grassland.

But before leaving, he turned his head to the left and thought 'I know it was a little greedy of me to steal a family heritage but I don't want to remain a servant forever. I want to be a cultivator too. I want to roam around the world and find my parents.'

'Godfather and Godmother said that my parents left me between a pool of blood and dozens of bodies. They said my parents were probably running away from somebody. I know it probably doesn't matter but I want to know the truth behind it.'

'Did they really leave me behind because they were running away? If so, are they alive? And, more importantly, am I trying to go towards my enemies? Maybe they were right. Cultivation is truly a dangerous journey but what I am left with to hesitate?'

'I have no friends, no family, and no loved ones. Although Great Elder took care of me and talk to me many times, I don't think I am that important to him. Even if I am, I can't return back, can I? Cultivation is a lone journey.'

'And, I couldn't be lonelier than this, right? I should stop looking back and getting depressed over my past mistakes. My destiny has changed. I can achieve a lot greater now. So, I must walk forward... Literally!'

Thinking so, Qin walked towards his right side. Though he tried to cover himself as much as he could. After a few hundred meters inside, he heard the noise of branches. He hurriedly leans on the tree and extends his neck.

In front of him, he saw a reindeer eating the grass. He thought for a moment. He couldn't figure the age of that deer. Its horns were big but its body was incredibly small. He hasn't ever seen the alive monsters. Every time he sees the monster, it is a dead monster brought into the family by the cultivators.

But, he was sure of one thing. This monster was Rank One. Because he has heard the elders talking about the difference between the monsters. If you are one rank/stage below the monster, you can easily feel it.

He hopes it is an infant because he was only in the Early Period. He took a deep breath and looked around.

'It's time to test that ability.' Qin thought to himself when he didn't find a single monster around him.

"Bloodline Ability- Lightning Spirit Body!"

Crackle!

Suddenly, the bolt of lightning escaped from his body and pierced the tree behind him. But, he didn't waste a second and moved towards the reindeer. Because of the sound, the deer was already escaping. But, Qin's speed was so high, he covered half of the distance in split second.

He was channeling qi into his sword while his body hovered in the air and lightning bolts blasted out of his body.

"Wind Splitting Sword Art"

"First Form- Splitting the Wind"

Whoosh! Splash! Bang!

The qi compressed on the edge of his sword and released out in a white arc in form of a wind blade. Suddenly, the bolt of lightning also followed the wind blade as it moved towards the reindeer. Before it could move, the wind blade slashed its body and the bolt of lightning struck its body.

Thud! Whoosh!

Qin landed on the ground but his movement made him slide towards the reindeer. He instantly deactivates his Lightning Spirit Body with a single thought even though he didn't know how this worked.

He simply caught the body of the deer and ran away towards the grassland. His meal for tonight was caught now he just needs to escape in time.

Thud!

Suddenly, the ground beneath him shook.
