Sword God Body Tempering Technique

Sword God Body Tempering Technique

"Die!"

Cole's strength and speed were beyond anything Huanyu and Gil could compare to. It could even be said that both his strength and speed had surpassed the fastest and strongest humans on Earth.

I knew you'd make a move.

Li Yuan was no fool. The moment he attacked, he had anticipated that Cole would try to ambush him.

His Observation Haki had remained active the entire time, and every one of Cole's movements was under his watch.

Right!

Li Yuan swiftly twisted aside, dodging Cole's ambush strike.

Taking advantage of the opening, he dashed forward with a sword step, his longsword slashing toward Cole's lower body.

However, even though Li Yuan had seized the timing perfectly, his own speed was still too slow, allowing Cole to narrowly evade the blow.

His sword merely tore through Cole's clothes and skin.

"Damn brat, die!"

Cole had not expected to nearly lose his life just then. Enraged, he withdrew his sword and instantly gripped the Sword Hilt in reverse, following through with a backhand slash.

Li Yuan was not surprised that Cole had avoided his blade. Instead, relying on his Observation Haki, he calmly dodged Cole's second strike once more.

"Crack!!!"

Li Yuan clenched his scabbard in his left hand and used it like a club, smashing it into Cole's knee and shattering his kneecap!

"Aah!!!!"

The shattered kneecap forced Cole down to one knee in agony. He had never expected Li Yuan to be so underhanded. He had never seen a swordsman use a scabbard to attack an enemy!

"You're the one who should die."

The instant Cole dropped to his knees, an Iron Sword swept across his throat. Blood instantly gushed out, and the only thing echoing in his ears was Li Yuan's final sentence.

"Hah, he's finally dead!"

"My body is still too weak. If I'd been fast enough just now, there would've been no need for all this trouble. Three strikes would have been enough to kill all three of them."

Li Yuan looked at the three completely dead men and let out a sigh of relief.

"I can't stay in this house anymore. Who knows whether those people from Fengmang Sword Hall will send more men to kill me? I should stay at the Sword Hall instead. It'll be safer there."

"Once I have the strength to protect myself, I'll wipe out Fengmang Sword Hall."

Li Yuan returned inside and packed some spare clothes, preparing to move into the Sword Hall. His newly acknowledged master would surely take him in.

What he did not know was that his master had been silently watching him from nearby. Only after the three men had been killed by Li Yuan did his master leave.

Li Yuan had only just awakened Observation Haki, so he was still unable to sense his master's presence.

"Li Yuan, Li Yuan—ah, what... what happened here?"

Just as Li Yuan finished packing, another man appeared outside the door. He carried a blade, stood three meters tall, and looked quite young.

"It's Kano. It's nothing. Three scum from Fengmang Sword Hall wanted to get rid of me, the personal disciple of Limitless Sword Hall. But they weren't strong enough, so I killed them instead."

"Now I'm worried those people from Fengmang Sword Hall will come looking for trouble, so I'm planning to move into the Sword Hall."

Li Yuan looked at the newcomer as he spoke. This was the senior disciple of Limitless Sword Hall. Before Li Yuan had appeared, Kano had possessed the greatest talent and strength in Limitless Sword Hall.

Although Li Yuan was now the most talented member of Limitless Sword Hall and had even been accepted by the hall master as his personal disciple,

Kano did not feel the slightest dissatisfaction. He had even taken the initiative to befriend Li Yuan. He was an honest and straightforward person.

"Those scum from Fengmang Sword Hall! Once I get stronger, I'll smash their Sword Hall to pieces! Li Yuan, you're right to move into the Sword Hall. With the hall master there, no one can hurt you."

Kano said indignantly.

"Let's go. I've already packed. We'll head to the Sword Hall together."

Without a trace of reluctance, Li Yuan walked out of the home where he had lived for thirteen years.

Limitless Sword Hall had many apprentices, around a hundred in total. Half of them were children like Li Yuan, between the ages of eight and fifteen.

Many people on this island wanted to send their children here to learn swordsmanship. If the hall master had not accepted only this many children, Li Yuan might have had even more junior disciples.

"Hah!!!"

"Hah!!!"

"Hah!!!"

.

As soon as he entered the Sword Hall, he saw many children holding wooden swords and repeatedly practicing the basic movements of sword swings.

"Senior Brother!!"

"Hello, Senior Brother!"

"Senior Brother, you're here!"

.

When the children practicing swordsmanship saw Li Yuan arrive, they all came over to greet him. As the hall master's only personal disciple, Li Yuan held a very high status within the Sword Hall.

"Practice your swords properly. Don't let my arrival interrupt your sword swings."

Li Yuan said sternly. He took sword practice very seriously and would not delay his own training for other matters, so he was also strict with these junior disciples.

After arriving at the Sword Hall, Li Yuan did not practice sword swings with his junior disciples on the training ground.

He had his own place to practice swordsmanship within the Sword Hall: the rear courtyard. It was specifically reserved for him to train in peace.

However, Li Yuan was not practicing swordsmanship now. Instead, he slowly sorted through the things he possessed.

"First, my soul must be relatively powerful, which is why I awakened Observation Haki and can sense whether others bear goodwill or malice toward me."

"Then there's the Sword God Body Tempering Technique in my mind. Its method of using Haki Body Tempering is basically my golden finger."

"In the future, I'll make swordsmanship my strongest offense and my body my strongest defense. With the two combined, I'm confident that I can become the World's Strongest!"

Li Yuan was extremely confident in himself.

"Let's see what kind of secret technique this Sword God Body Tempering Technique really is."

This Sword God Body Tempering Technique had appeared in his mind the moment he transmigrated. It was his golden finger for roaming this world without restraint.

After reading through the Sword God Body Tempering Technique, he discovered that it had a total of twelve levels.

Moreover, the Sword God Body Tempering Technique used Haki Body Tempering, perfectly fitting the system of the Pirate World.

The first three levels could be practiced before awakening Armament Haki. The later levels could only be practiced after awakening Armament Haki.

"Let me see how effective the first level is."

With that, Li Yuan began practicing the first level of the Sword God Body Tempering Technique.
