Create Sword Art!

"Uncle Wu, you were looking for us?"

Luo Feng asked in surprise.

Wu Tong was about the same age as Luo Hongguo, even a year younger. Since both families lived in Bright Moon District, they were quite close. Now, whenever Luo Xia and Luo Feng saw Wu Tong, they called him "Uncle Wu" instead of "Head Instructor."

Wu Tong stepped forward, patted Luo Feng on the shoulder, nodded at Luo Xia, and said with a smile,

"That's right. You've both become Warriors now, so your next step is to enter the Wilderness Zone for training. To ensure your safety, Supervisor Zhuge arranged for you two brothers to join the Fire Hammer Squad!"

Luo Xia raised his brows slightly and said in surprise, "The Fire Hammer Squad? That's a Warrior-General-level squad! If I remember correctly, their Captain is a General, right?"

Wu Tong nodded. "That's right! Supervisor Zhuge thinks highly of you two brothers, which is why he arranged for you to join the Fire Hammer Squad."

The two brothers exchanged a glance, both feeling touched.

Supervisor Zhuge had given them money and arranged for them to join a Warrior-General-level squad. He had truly treated them well.

At this moment, Wu Tong continued,

"But let me make this clear first. Although you've been assigned to a Warrior-General-level squad, if you can't adapt, they'll still kick you out of the team."

"We understand, Uncle Wu."

Luo Feng and Luo Xia nodded at the same time.

Warrior squads operated on the edge of life and death. Having one or two burdens in the squad would have a huge impact.

"By the way, what are you two doing at the Wuguan today?" Only then did Wu Tong ask why Luo Feng and Luo Xia had come.

Luo Feng explained with a smile,

"Xia and I were planning to buy some equipment and weapons, but neither of us has any contribution points. So we wanted to find a Warrior senior we knew at the Wuguan and ask them to help us purchase those things!"

"I see..."

Wu Tong thought for a moment, then looked at Luo Feng and Luo Xia with a smile.

"Then don't bother looking for anyone. I'll buy them for you directly. Just transfer the money to me afterward!"

Luo Xia and Luo Feng were delighted. Looking at Wu Tong, they asked, "Is that okay?"

"Why wouldn't it be?" Wu Tong laughed heartily. "Send me a list of what you want to buy, and I'll get it for you later!"

"Thank you, Uncle Wu!"

The two brothers hurriedly thanked him, then handed Wu Tong the list they had prepared.

After resolving the matter of buying equipment and weapons, Luo Feng and Luo Xia bade Wu Tong farewell and returned home.

The two went to their family's Training Hall and began studying the manuals they had bought.

The Training Hall was over a hundred square meters, more than enough for the two brothers. They each sat cross-legged on one side, holding a manual in their hands.

Of all martial arts under heaven, speed alone was invincible!

When Luo Xia opened the cover of "World Annihilation," those words appeared on the title page.

In an instant, he seemed to see a spear thrusting toward him with lightning speed, tearing through the air. A faint stabbing pain bloomed between his brows!

"So this is the weight carried by the world's First Strongest... Even a mere copied version has such overwhelming momentum!"

Luo Xia marveled inwardly as he turned the pages of "World Annihilation."

The manual for the first three levels was not thick. Luo Xia quickly finished reading it and memorized every word and key point within it!

Just like "Ninefold Thunderblade," the first three levels of "World Annihilation" came with corresponding Movement Techniques and Guidance Techniques.

Though he had only just finished reading it, he had already gained some insight.

Luo Xia closed his eyes—

In an instant, the phantom of a tall, upright man holding a spear appeared before him.

The man began breathing. His breathing method was extremely unusual, as if his entire body had become a spear. With every breath he took, the spear in his hand resonated with him.

Then—

The man began wielding the spear in his hand. His techniques clearly originated from the spear arts of Huaxia's ancient martial arts.

Thrust, stab, strike, smash, entangle, circle, block, seize, pounce, Dot, deflect, flourish...

His speed grew faster and faster, piercing the air and producing sharp hissing sounds.

Luo Xia watched calmly. He did not know how much time had passed before the spear-wielding man slowly vanished from his Line of Sight—

Luo Xia opened his eyes and murmured softly.

"The so-called 'of all martial arts under heaven, speed alone is invincible' means that when fighting an enemy, your speed must always surpass theirs!"

"As long as you are fast enough, you will have more opportunities to strike the enemy and attack their weak points!"

"But speed alone isn't enough. If your strength is lacking and your Force Application Technique is inadequate, then no matter how fast you are, if you can't break through the enemy's defense, you'll only be scratching an itch."

"Therefore, my Sword Art must be fast! It must also have sufficiently powerful Force Application Techniques!

"If I can remain fast while ensuring that every attack carries more force than the enemy's defense can withstand, what enemy could possibly be my match?"

The more Luo Xia thought about it, the brighter his eyes became.

Everything he had said was the philosophy Hong had embedded within "World Annihilation."

"Sure enough, all martial arts share the same foundation. Although I don't use a spear, the philosophy and Force Application Techniques in 'World Annihilation' can be used as reference and applied to Sword Art!"

Luo Xia felt as if his thoughts were boiling. As he continuously comprehended the first three levels of "World Annihilation," an illusory figure began to appear before him.

At first, the phantom wielded a spear, but as it moved, the spear in its hand gradually transformed into a Long Sword.

At that moment, Luo Xia suddenly rose to his feet, picked up the Long Sword resting across his knees, and merged with the illusory figure as the Long Sword moved—

Boom!

A tremendous blast suddenly erupted in the Training Hall!

Luo Feng looked at the wall of the Training Hall in astonishment.

There, on the specially made, incomparably sturdy wall capable of withstanding 50-millimeter Armor-Piercing Bullets, was a deep sword mark!

"X-Xia?"

Luo Feng turned his gaze toward Luo Xia, who stood with his sword in hand. His eyes widened. "Y-you succeeded?!"

How long had it been?

They had spent less than three hours reading the manuals!

He had not even begun practicing the first level of Ninefold Thunderblade!

Yet his younger brother had already comprehended his own Sword Art from Hong's "World Annihilation"?!

Luo Xia looked at his eldest brother, Luo Feng, and smiled. "I only created the first level, and it isn't completely finished yet. I guess it's half a success?"

Luo Feng swallowed.

He knew his younger brother was intelligent. He was this year's National College Entrance Examination Top Scholar. But to be this intelligent, after reading a manual for less than three hours—

And it had even been a Spear Art manual!

He had already comprehended the first level of a Sword Art that belonged to him alone!

And its power was this great!

Even the wall that Armor-Piercing Bullets could not penetrate had been carved with a deep sword mark!

This was far too absurd!

"Xia, tell me first—once this first level is complete, what effect will it have?"

Luo Feng looked at the sword mark on the wall as he asked.

Luo Xia thought for a moment, estimating the force multiplier from just now—

That strike had exerted roughly twice his original physical strength.

Once it was fully completed, the first level of the Sword Art should be able to exert four times his original physical strength!

In other words...

"It should probably be able to break through our wall!"

Luo Xia said.

Gulp!

Luo Feng swallowed again.

This was a specially made wall designed to withstand the force of Warriors. Even an Armor-Piercing Bullet would at most leave a mark on it.

Yet the first level of Luo Xia's Sword Art could actually pierce through the wall!

How many times his original physical strength did that require?!
