There's Something Wrong With This Account

Chapter 196: 196, [Named: Decisions]

Translator: 549690339

The Partridge Sky in Lin Chan’s hand was now significantly different from before.

After a long period of cultivation under the “Sword Cultivating Technique,” at least on the surface, those traces of rust that resembled iron weren’t there anymore.

“When did these rust traces completely disappear?” Lu Xun asked.

Lin Chan wrote in Lu Xun’s palm: “A few days ago.”

“Was it after you developed your Sword Heart?” Lu Xun followed up.

Lin Chan nodded.

Originally, while practicing the Sword Cultivating Technique, she could slowly eliminate the rust, but that process was too slow.

But since she had developed her Sword Heart, the process has sped up. Within a few days, under the nurturing of the Sword Cultivating Technique, the Broken Sword has finally gained a bit of metallic luster.

It was a silver-black color, the material it was made from could not be discerned, and its level was still at the Superior Blue Level, with no changes.

Its Sword Spirit seemed to have somewhat improved. Although it still appeared weak, it no longer felt fragile, as if it would die from a slight mishap.

Simply put, it has gone from hanging by a thread to being able to hang on for a few months…

“It feels like our Little Chan is a small nurse, taking care of you, a patient with a terminal illness.” Lu Xun looked at Partridge Sky and thought to himself.

“Little Chan, now that you’ve reached the Initial Realm, you can try cultivating the Sword Technique within Partridge Sky. Try to find out where the Sword Technique is hidden,” Lu Xun said.

Lin Chan looked up at him, then nodded, and started searching for the Sword Technique.

Naturally, the Sword Technique would not be inscribed on the sword; it should be hidden within.

She closed her eyes and infused her spiritual power into Partridge Sky.

The next moment, she noticed a significant change.

Before entering the Initial Realm, her spiritual power was attributeless; now it had transformed into Water Attribute Spiritual Power.

Things she couldn’t sense before, at this moment could all be sensed!

She could perceive a small light next to the Sword Spirit.

A gentle touch with spiritual power, it reacted sensitively by twitching.

Lin Chan found this interesting, so she repeatedly touched it several times, causing it to twitch each time.

Finally, on the seventh contact, it released its energy.

The light bloomed like a flower, sending out golden ripples.

Semi-transparent characters appeared in the air. Lin Chan opened her eyes, and together with Lu Xun and Mao Nanbei, they watched.

There weren’t many words, just a few sentences.

Instead of a Sword Technique, it was more akin to a Sword Move.

Because this entire Sword Technique only constituted a single move.

It was called – “Sever.”

At this moment, a prompt appeared in front of Lu Xun.

“Do you wish to learn?”

Lu Xun decisively chose ‘Yes’.

“It will cost 10,000 Experience Points, do you wish to continue?”

“Huh, the Experience Points required are the same as when I learned the Sword Cultivating Technique. Could it be… an Orange Level!?” Lu Xun felt his heartbeat accelerating.

He was all too aware of the power an Orange Level Skill possessed.

If it wasn’t for the bonus from the Sword Cultivating Technique, his Sword Qi would not have been so formidable.

However, when he previously learned the Sword Cultivating Technique, the prompt clearly labeled it as Orange Level. But now, nothing was indicated, which was quite strange.

There was nothing to hesitate about, it was just 10,000 Experience Points. Lu Xun decisively selected ‘Continue’.

While Little Chan and Mao Nanbei were still lost in their observations of the Sword Technique, Lu Xun had already forcefully learned it via Experience Points.

This skill was called the “Broken Sword Technique,” and its Skill Level was labeled as unknown.

Furthermore, the skill description showed a Mana consumption of 0.

Meaning, this skill didn’t require any Mana, no Spiritual Power needed to be expended.

What it required was a third of the user’s full Life Value!

This wasn’t unusual, as those who had played games should be familiar with such skills.

But what made it special was that the lost life value could not be restored!

That is to say, with every use, it costs a third of one’s life!

“No wonder the teacher said not to learn it, and if I did learn it, not to use it.” Lu Xun thought.

This skill caused significant damage to the Magical Weapon. According to the teacher, the Partridge Sky was broken this way.

And Lu Xun’s path was one where the person and the sword were one. So, he didn’t have a sword that could be broken, only himself…

Without a sword to bear the recoil, his body would naturally bear it instead.

If it was simply the cost of a third of Life Value, it wouldn’t matter much. It would just make one feel a bit of pain, and then it would be over.

Besides, I’m not afraid of pain!

He approached the pain of cultivation with a sense of enjoyment.

However, the fact that the lost life value couldn’t be restored was terrifying!

This skill was like playing with one’s life!

Though he still had two revives, he still felt heartache.

Moreover, after using it once, he would only have two-thirds of his Life Value remaining.

Using it twice would leave only a third of his Life Value.

This had a significant impact!

Non-fatal injuries could be fatal due to the shortened Life Value status bar.

Unless one dies and uses a revive, the Life Value won’t be restored.

“I just don’t know if it’s as dominant as the teacher said…” Lu Xun thought.

If it really was strong, it could be used as a last resort during a life-and-death struggle.

“No wonder it’s called the Broken Sword Technique. Its essence is: it’s either you or me that gets broken.”

“For me, it’s a life-and-death sword move, the Qishang Fist of the sword moves.”

This “Broken Sword Technique” was currently at Level 0. After pondering for a moment, Lu Xun decided to spend 10,000 Experience Points to upgrade it to Level 1.

The Experience Points spent were the same as when upgrading the Sword Cultivating Technique.

“You can see from Partridge Sky that the damage from using the Broken Sword Technique can be slowly recovered through the Sword Cultivating Technique. However, this process is very slow, Little Chan trained for so long, yet Partridge Sky hasn’t recovered much.”

“My Sword Cultivating Technique is akin to a ‘Self Cultivating Technique’, I wonder if it can recover my Life Value?” Lu Xun pondered.

At this moment, he looked at the Sword Sheath and suddenly remembered the mysterious green Pearl within!

This pearl contained a surging life force, which healed the old monk’s body, even showing signs of rejuvenation!

“I wonder if it can help me recover.”

If it works, it would be exciting!

After closing his skill bar, Lu Xun looked at Lin Chan and seriously reiterated the reminders given by his teacher.

“Little Chan, you can practice this ‘Broken Sword Technique,’ but unless it’s absolutely necessary, don’t use it. Do you understand?”

Upon hearing this, Lin Chan immediately nodded.

She would remember her master’s words well.

In Lu Xun’s opinion, although Partridge Sky was a Broken Sword, it was very mysterious. If it really got destroyed, it would be a bit of a pity.
