The Wizard's Secret Journey

Chapter 32: Sword and Aura (4.1k -in-)

In the shed,
Invisible magical energy gathered towards Lynn.

He had a focused look on his face as he practiced the White Crow sword technique meticulously.

The magic energy gathered and vibrated in his chest as he moved, forming a special resonance.

This special resonance causes the magical energies that could not exist sustainably to gradually gather into a unique form - a magical energy group.

As the time goes.

The magic energy gathered more and more, and the magic energy ball became bigger and bigger...

until a certain moment.

Lin En discovered that the ball of magic energy in his chest could exist for a long time even if he no longer intentionally replenished it.

He realized that he had broken through to the second level of White Crow Swordsmanship!

Lin En stopped and drew his sword.

Gently wave it towards the ground.

The ball of magic energy on the chest was mobilized with resonance, attaching invisible power to the long sword.

Swish!
The sword flashed by like a shadow.

Lin En clearly only used half of his usual strength, but the speed at which the sword swept across was even faster than when he was using full strength!
Moreover, in addition to the speed, there are even more incredible phenomena!
The silver tip of the sword did not touch the ground, but a clear groove appeared on the mud.

Lin En was not surprised. He raised the sword, found the feeling of resonance when swinging the sword, mobilized the magic energy ball in his chest, and carefully observed the blade.

Soon, he discovered that the air around the sword blade was slightly twisted, and a layer of invisible and sharp airflow was quietly lingering around the edge of the blade!

In the White Crow Sword Art it is called 'Sword Qi', White Crow Sword Qi!

But Lin En knew that in essence, it was the same as witchcraft such as wind blade, which consumed magic energy to create wind power.

"It's almost like witchcraft..."

Thinking of this, a flash of inspiration suddenly came to Lin En's mind. He frowned, trying to capture this flash of inspiration.

But the inspiration was like a spark in the dark night, which soon went out.

Clang.

Lin En sheathed the sword, shook his head, stopped worrying about it, and looked at his palm to check himself.

Specks of golden light appeared, and a curtain of light leaped out.

Lynn looked at it carefully.

'Age... still 16. The original owner's birthday is in November, so she will be 11 soon.

"Realm... White Crow Swordsmanship 100st level 100/2, 100nd level 0.4/, skills have not changed much... Wait, the source of energy is ? ! "

Lin En was stunned, and looked at it carefully a few more times to make sure he was not mistaken.

The column for own energy source is really 0.4!

You have to know that your own energy has not yet fully recovered, and it will take until tomorrow to fully recover.

In other words, the source of energy is likely to be 0.5? !
The second level of White Crow Swordsmanship can greatly improve one’s own energy!
Lynn was delighted.

After making some preparations, he headed towards Cuiying Market.

Bai Ya's swordsmanship has achieved a breakthrough, it's time to look for Cosi.

……

……

Cuiying Market.

The market is still as busy as usual.

The open space was filled with stalls and there was a constant stream of pedestrians.

Wearing a face scarf and dressed as a hunter, Lynn mingled in the crowd, silently watching Wayne not far away.

This middle-aged man was buying white shadow mushrooms in the market at this time.

Lynn had been following him patiently for almost an hour.

He was calm and not at all impatient.

He knew that as soon as Wayne bought the white shadow mushrooms, he would take him to find the figure that had been bothering him for several days.

Then, everything will come to an end.

After buying the mushrooms, Wayne walked towards the next stall.

Lynn followed closely behind.

After a moment, Wayne stopped:
"How much are you selling these white shadow mushrooms?"

"The small one is 7 gold dragons, and the big one is 8 gold dragons."

The stall owner's voice sounded particularly familiar. Lin En looked over and was suddenly startled.

'Gigaus?'

Although his skin had become darker and he looked thinner, Lin En still recognized the stall owner not far away. It was Jigos whom he had not seen for a long time.

Wayne nodded, bought the white shadow mushroom, and continued forward.

At this moment, Lin En caught a glimpse of Cosey's figure appearing in front of Wayne from the corner of his eye.

He withdrew his gaze from Jigos.

He tore off a page from the booklet he carried with him, quickly wrote a few words, and quietly put it into Gigos' pocket as he passed by, then hurriedly caught up with Wayne and the others.

Cosi took Wayne away from Cuiying Market.

The two of them moved forward with the white shadow mushrooms.

Lynn followed the two silently.

When they reached an alley, Lynn saw Cosey pause and pat his chest somewhat unnaturally.

Lin En frowned slightly, not knowing if it was an illusion, but he always felt that Cosi seemed to have become weaker than when he saw him before.

His breathing was a little erratic and his footsteps were heavier than usual.

'Is he injured?'

Regardless, this is good news for him.

Perhaps today is the best time for revenge!

More than ten minutes later, Cosi and his companion walked into a shed.

Lin En approached silently and listened attentively, but he could not hear anything clearly because of the thick mud wall.

After thinking for a while, Lin En looked at the roof of the shed, jumped lightly, and jumped just to a position level with the roof. He landed like a feather, making almost no sound.

The roof of the shed was just some wooden strips and thatch, thinner than other places, and sound could penetrate more easily. Lynn leaned over carefully to avoid collapsing the roof, and finally heard the words coming from inside the house.

"...Water, I need to drink some more water." This was Cosi's voice, hoarse and dull, and it was almost impossible to tell that this was the man with full of energy before.

"Here's some water," Wayne said.

Gulu gulu——

Cosi sighed comfortably, and then complained:

"I don't know how long I have to endure... Green Shadow said that it would only take a few days to replenish the incomplete wild bear bloodline in my body, but it's already been a week and I'm still feeling so uncomfortable."

"Be patient, sir." Wayne said, his voice was strange and weird, "There are still five days left, and you can replenish your blood and become delicious..."

"Beautiful...what?"

"I mean powerful, Lord Cosey. You will soon become more powerful than ever before!"

Cosi laughed, took a few deep breaths, coughed twice, and said tiredly:
"I'm going to take a nap. I'll leave the rest to you."

"Okay, my lord."

The room became quiet.

squeak-

This was the sound of the wooden bed being unable to bear the weight, and Cosi lay down on the bed.

On the roof, Lynn quietly drew his sword, moved just above the sound, and waited patiently.

Squeak, squeak—

Cough, cough——

Cosey was obviously not feeling well and kept tossing and turning.

It was not until more than 20 minutes later that a slight snoring sound was heard.

Another 2 minutes passed.

Lin En suddenly opened his eyes, took a deep breath with a stern face, raised his right foot, and stepped hard without any warning!
boom!
Click, click, click—

The fragile wooden strips of the roof broke instantly.

In the thatched grass, Lin En, holding a long sword, emerged from it like a meteor and stabbed towards Kesi! Hiss!
The sharp sword energy quickly touched the left side of Cosi's chest.

If you slow down the speed, you can clearly see that Cosi's hard skin suddenly dents, and then a pale yellow light quickly gathers towards the dent, and the skin becomes darker, revealing a rock-like texture, resisting the stab.

However, Lin En's sword was like a fairy from outer space, and it could pierce through even the finest steel, let alone rock!

Those pale yellow lights are just in vain!

Phew! !
The long sword pierced into Cosi's chest in the next moment, piercing through the heart with unstoppable momentum, and then came out from the back. The remaining force even broke a big hole in the bed underneath!
"Ah——!" Cosi suddenly woke up and screamed in pain.

Lin En did not rush to draw his sword. Instead, he slightly bent his legs, jumped back, and drew out his sword.

It was not until this time that Wayne on the side reacted.

He ran out in a hurry.

Lin En simply turned around and slashed, cutting off his legs, then raised his hand and stabbed him again.

Bright blood burst out from Wayne's chest, and he fell to the ground with a thud, making a hoarse sound.

"It's you?!"

the other side.

Cosey stood up from the bed, holding his chest, his voice hoarse,
"I wanted to deal with you after my bloodline was restored, but I didn't expect you to come to trouble me instead...

"did you know……

"You made a wrong decision!!"

Roar!
Cosi roared and rushed towards Lynn, his skin turning dark yellow.

His eyes were red, as if he was completely unaware that he was actually on the verge of death.

Lin En frowned slightly and quickly retreated to avoid Cosi's attack.

"Is it because of the so-called bloodline completion?"

He noticed something was wrong with Cosey.

The Barbarian Bear bloodline strengthens strength and defense more, although it can indeed make the vitality of the transformer more vigorous.

But it is definitely not strong enough to ignore the heart injury!
But soon, Lynn realized that Cosey was just holding on.

Blood continued to flow out from the wound on Cosi's chest, and he soon turned into a bloody gourd.

This fierce look seems more like a last gasp of vitality.

Lin En calmed down a little and no longer pursued the attack, but just dodged flexibly.

In his crazy state, Cosi's attack was extremely fierce, and Lin En needed to concentrate fully to ensure that he could dodge it completely.

Gradually, he gradually entered a mysterious state.

He felt the wind and tried to use the air current to speed himself up, just like when he swung a sword.

Lin En couldn't do it, but he thought of the air currents wrapped around the blade... and suddenly he had an epiphany.

The crude wind control ability gained from the second level of White Crow Swordsmanship is essentially a crude sorcery...

If you want to cast a witchcraft, both magic power and mental strength are indispensable!

But according to his mental strength, he should not be able to gather magic energy, let alone cast a powerful "witchcraft" like the White Crow Swordsmanship.

So, this means that -

There must be some technique that allows him to exert his mental strength to great effect!

"Resonance, a special kind of resonance!"

As if she had been electrocuted, Lin En suddenly had an epiphany.

He understood clearly in his heart.

The resonance technique that can guide the gathering of magical energy and allow the sword blade to be wrapped in air currents is essentially the same as meditation. Both are techniques that can improve the effectiveness of mental power!
However, this technique is much weaker than meditation. It cannot enhance the effectiveness of mental power to the point where it can finely control magical energy and strengthen mental power.

Therefore, it cannot break through the extraordinary barrier and can only unleash its current extraordinary power like magic!
But it doesn't matter.

After understanding this, Lynn suddenly had a deeper understanding of the Horsens meditation method.

This resonance technique was like a key that allowed him to finally get a clear glimpse of the extremely complex meditation runes of the Horsnes meditation method.

'If I still need to peeke three or four times, now I probably only need to peeke once more to get started with the Horsens Meditation Method!'

Lynn's heart began to beat fast!

On the other side, Cauchy's attack gradually slowed down and then stopped.

This brown bear-like man has reached the end of his life.

The deep yellow energy could not cover up the paleness of Cosi's face. He half-knelt on the spot, holding his chest and gasping for breath. His red eyes finally regained some clarity.

He looked up at Lin En, his eyes full of fear, blood oozing from the corners of his mouth, and said incoherently:

"Please...please...let me go..."

He had just begun to beg for mercy when he had already let out all the breath he had been holding back.

Cosi's eyes dimmed instantly, and his hand covering his chest dropped.

thump--

He collapsed to the ground with a loud bang, completely lifeless.

Lynn slowly stopped and used his foot to kick the wooden chair next to him towards Cosey.

boom!
The deep yellow energy had dissipated, and the chair leg hit Cosi's head hard, leaving a dent.

Cosey did not respond.

After waiting patiently for a while, Lin En slowly approached and then cut off Cosi's head with one sword!

Cosi's head rolled half a circle on the dark, bloody mud.

A large foot in deerskin boots stepped on it, continuing to apply force.

Soon, cracking sounds were heard one after another.

Pfft!

Cosey's head exploded.

Lynn swung his legs calmly.

Two months ago, he would never have dared to do such a thing.

But human adaptability is far stronger than one might imagine, and he has become accustomed to such cruel acts.

Lynn looked at Cosey's body. The pungent smell of blood hit his nose, but he did not feel uncomfortable. Instead, he felt happy and clear-minded!

For some reason, Lin En recalled the scene when this group of young boys and girls first arrived in the wizarding territory.

The wizard named Horsens will speak to these new wizard apprentices, and this is the only time most apprentices can see Wizard Horsens.

Nine years have passed, and the figure of the man shrouded in the halo has become blurred, and only the few words he said are still remembered in my mind.

'…My children, the path of a wizard's ascent is destined to be long and difficult…

'You will experience many things and learn a lot of knowledge... You will understand that this world is chaotic and disorderly, and many experiences and knowledge will make you painful, desperate, and even crazy...

'But when the endless darkness comes.

"Don't forget, humanity is the only light that anchors reason..."

Hosens' words were still too far for Lynn.

He didn't think that much.

He just passionately pursues power, and at the same time calmly follows his heart...

Bending down, Lynn began to touch the body.

This shed seemed to be a base of Cosey. After he searched Cosey's body, he found a secret compartment on the ground in the corner.

This secret compartment is not small. From the signs of wear and tear, it can be seen that it has been filled with heavy objects for many years.

But when Lin En opened it, he only saw more than 30 primary magic stones...

'Could it be placed somewhere else?

"Or was it consumed while replenishing the bloodline?"

After checking the rest of the room again to make sure nothing was missed, Lin En took the magic stones he had collected and picked up the white shadow mushrooms on the wooden table next to him, and left the shed with brisk steps.

……

……

Soon, Lin En arrived outside the Cuiying Market.

Gigos was waiting for him here.
