"Haki? Fruits? And..."
"Swordsmanship?"
Sword Douluo stood stunned for quite a while after hearing Lin Xiao's explanation.
There was no denying that these were all unfamiliar terms.
Normally, didn't "haki" just describe an imposing presence?
But Sword Douluo knew it could not be that simple.
Were the fruits like the Sky Tree Fruit, only with different abilities?

The more he thought, the more tempted he became, and his
