He said no, but his body was honest...

He had clearly only taken leave for three chapters, yet the moment he sat down, he shamelessly started writing again...

This was the fourth update. There would be another one tonight.

Over the next few days, aside from setting aside some time to keep Ellie company, Luo Ze devoted the rest of his time to improving his three major techniques.

With his persistent efforts, the Killing Sword Form underwent a clear enhancement.

The current Killing Sword Form was no longer as disorderly as before. Its sword speed had become faster, and its power had increased as well.

After Luo Ze's improvements, when using the Killing Sword Form, he would switch the sword between his left and right hands to create the most comfortable attacking conditions for himself. Combined with several tricky attack paths he had specifically developed, the current Killing Sword Form was terrifyingly powerful.

In terms of speed alone, in the time it took him to strike once before, Luo Ze could now unleash three slashes. Moreover, his attack patterns were now far trickier, making them much harder to evade.

This was a qualitative leap.

Besides that, Luo Ze's Blood Sword Form and Guard Sword Form had also undergone considerable changes.

The current Blood Sword Form placed greater emphasis on slaughtering in a single direction. Its energy was more condensed, and its power was at least twice what it had been before.

As for the Guard Sword Form, if Luo Ze fought Kashal again now, then no matter how Kashal attacked, he would be unable to break through Luo Ze's defense. It would be impossible to make him move even a single step.

During these past few days, Luo Ze also used Beli to exchange for one thousand Swordsman Upgrade Points.

One hundred million Beli could be exchanged for one hundred upgrade points. Luo Ze exchanged all of his savings for upgrade points, leaving himself with only a few tens of millions of Beli.

However, Luo Ze did not add those thousand upgrade points to his abilities. Instead, he spent all one thousand points to upgrade his "Ordinary Iron Sword," exchanging it for a Fine Steel Sword.

Half a month passed quickly.

Half a month later, Luo Ze and Ellie stood on the deck of the Ghost Sword, gazing out at the sea ahead.

After half a month, the Ghost Sword had crossed several sea regions. From the ship, they could already vaguely make out the outline of Dog Town.

"Big Brother, is that Dog Town?"

Ellie sat on Luo Ze's shoulders, staring curiously at the enormous town ahead with her mouth wide open.

"Yeah! That's Dog Town. Once we get ashore, Big Brother will take you to buy some pretty clothes and eat some delicacies you've never had before."

Luo Ze smiled as he answered Ellie. After half a month together, Ellie had completely accepted Luo Ze as her big brother.

To Ellie now, Luo Ze was the person closest to her. Ever since she had become aware of things, no one had treated her better than he had.

"Delicacies!"

At the mention of food, Ellie's eyes lit up.

"You little foodie."

Luo Ze shook his head with a smile. After getting to know her, he had learned all of Ellie's hobbies. And out of all of them, what Ellie loved most was eating.

The Ghost Sword soon arrived at Dog Town. Once they arrived, Luo Ze docked the Ghost Sword at the pier and disembarked with Ellie.

Dog Town was far more prosperous than Bock Town. There were all kinds of strange and unusual things throughout the town. Along the way, Ellie stared at everything with sparkling eyes, her heart filled with curiosity.

Luo Ze took her around for a while before eventually bringing her into a fairly large clothing store.

The shop had many customers, and business was booming. Luo Ze had come here several times before to buy clothes, and the quality of the fabric had always been quite good.

After entering the store, Luo Ze quickly began browsing with Ellie.

Ellie's ragged old clothes could no longer be worn, while many of Luo Ze's own clothes had been discarded after becoming too stained with blood from killing.

So this time, he planned to buy himself more than ten sets of clothes and carefully pick out some nice outfits for Ellie as well.

"Big Brother, wouldn't I look good in this?"

Seeing so many pretty clothes, Ellie quickly became excited.

She took a purple dress from the rack, held it up against herself, and spoke to Luo Ze.

"If you like it, go try it on."

Luo Ze smiled indulgently and opened the fitting room door for Ellie.

Soon, Ellie changed into the purple dress. When she emerged from the fitting room, she looked like an entirely different person. She had already been very cute to begin with, and in this new purple dress, she looked even more adorable.

"It looks good."

Luo Ze smiled at Ellie.

"Is that... Dream Fried Noodles?"

Just as Luo Ze and Ellie were picking out clothes, a man riding a tricycle suddenly sped past outside on the street.

Then, a customer inside the store suddenly let out a cry of surprise.

"It really is Dream Fried Noodles. Boss, check me out."

As soon as the customer spoke, many customers lost all interest in choosing clothes. They packed up the clothes they had selected and hurried to the counter to pay.

Some customers even abandoned the clothes they had already picked out and ran straight outside.

"Dream Fried Noodles?" Luo Ze turned to look outside as well and indeed saw the back of a tricycle.

He turned to Ellie and instructed her, "Ellie, pick out some clothes here first. I'm going to buy you a serving of Dream Fried Noodles. Don't wander off. If anything happens, notify me with the Den Den Mushi."

"Okay, Brother." Ellie nodded obediently and quickly went back to picking out clothes.

Seeing Ellie's delighted expression, Luo Ze soon turned and headed outside.

Dream Fried Noodles were a legendary food in Dog Town.

They tasted incomparably delicious—anyone who tried them once would find them impossible to forget.

Luo Ze had happened to buy Dream Fried Noodles once before, but their owner was an odd fellow who generally only came out to sell fried noodles every few months. Each time, he sold them while riding a tricycle through the streets.

Luo Ze often went out to sea to hunt pirates and rarely returned to town. Even when he did return occasionally, Dream Fried Noodles never appeared. As a result, he had never gotten to eat them a second time.

This sudden appearance of Dream Fried Noodles piqued Luo Ze's interest. He wanted Ellie to taste this Dog Town specialty as well.

Leaving the clothing store, Luo Ze quickly sprinted in the direction of Dream Fried Noodles.

Luo Ze was fast, and it did not take him long to catch up. He was not worried about Ellie's safety. First, he could return quickly with his speed. Second, Ellie had the Den Den Mushi he had given her.

Before long, Luo Ze returned carrying two fragrant servings of Dream Fried Noodles.

He arrived at the entrance of the clothing store.

However, just as he was about to enter, he was surprised to discover that Ellie seemed to be having an argument with someone inside.
