The wrong person on the ground, the opening sword soul template

Chapter 277 Forest Fire
The location that Celia told Liang Yue differed somewhat from her memory.

In the original storyline, he and Celia should have met in Loran.

Of course, since this is the real world, it's normal for it to differ slightly from the original work.

At this moment, a middle-aged man with graying hair approached, looking at Celia excitedly.
"Celia~! I'm so glad you're alright! I was so worried about you for so long!"

The three got to know each other, and Linus also learned about what had happened between Liang Yue and Celia.

Linus sized up Liang Yue. "This young man is quite something. Thank you for saving Celia. I won't let you save her for nothing."

"Take it, it's the best sword in the village!"

Seeing Linus hand over the sharp katana without a word, Liang Yuezhi nodded.

The blade of the knife still emitted a faint, pale blue sheen, clearly indicating that it was a very handy weapon.

Celia looked at Liang Yue with a worried expression. "Warrior Liang Yue, something strange has happened in the forest. They've become unusually ferocious. I want to know why..."

At this moment, a golden exclamation mark seemed to appear above Celia's head, so Liang Yue nodded and chose to go with her into the depths of the forest.

The two made contact with the teleportation array inside the Elvin Line again and arrived at a place called Thunder Ruins.

While interacting with Celia, she was also teaching Liang Yue some basic common sense about this world.

Because Liang Yue told the other party that he had been practicing swordsmanship in the deep mountains since he was a child, he basically had no access to worldly information.

In the world of Arad, there exist various races and magical powers.

Humans, celestial beings, demons, angels, and spirits all truly exist.

Extraordinary powers and professions are diverse, such as swordsmen, fighters, gunners, priests, and mages...

Only those infected by the power of demons and gods can become Ghost Swordsmen, although ordinary swordsmen can also use some of the Ghost Swordsman's moves.

However, the difference in power between this and the one used by the Ghost Swordsman is quite obvious.

Fighters, on the other hand, are mostly from the Kingdom of Xu. They are professionals who constantly develop their physical potential and cultivate various fighting techniques and even "qi".

Fighters firmly believe that their own bodies are the strongest weapon in the world, and that they can break through the limits of life or pursue the ultimate in martial arts by relying on their own strength.

As for sharpshooters, they mainly refer to extraordinary sharpshooters from the Celestial Realm. Their bodies have generally undergone genetic enhancement using Celestial technology.

The character "神" (god) not only represents their extraordinary archery skills and their status as celestial beings, but also signifies their celestial technology that has reached a superhuman level.

For example, super soldier genes, mobile weapons for warfare, satellite rays, space folding technology...

A mage is a profession that uses magic as its primary means of research or combat.

Most mainstream magicians are from the demon realm, because the demon realm was the first to research or invent magic in this universe.

To be precise, it was the Second Apostle, Hilder, the Goddess of Magic…

…………

Combining Celia's account with her own memories, Liang Yue's understanding of this world gradually became clearer.

Although I am now over level 70, I still need to maintain a humble attitude in this world.

Here, his level is only average. Compared to those truly top-tier experts, the third awakening is merely the threshold to meeting them.

Of course, with the blessings of the gods and the Sword Soul Template System, he is confident that he will surpass all beings here in the future.

Even the world of Arad is just one part of his journey to the top.

At the current pace of the system, he might continue to conquer more worlds and thereby obtain more cultivation systems to infinitely increase his strength...

"I'm sorry, I've lost a lot of my memories. These are all I remember right now, and that I lived in the Grand Forest..."

Seeing Liang Yue deep in thought, Celia felt guilty and apologized to Liang Yue.

Liang Yue quickly waved her hand, "It's not worth apologizing for something like this, and your answer has already helped me a lot."

Hearing Liang Yue's comforting words, Celia's mood improved significantly, and a smile returned to her face.

"That's great! I thought I wouldn't be of any help at all. Next, we'll be heading from Thunderous Ruins to Graca. Liang Yue, let's be careful on the road, okay?"

If we're careful, we can definitely avoid attracting the monster's attention!

Liang Yue couldn't help but feel that Celia's words sounded like she was setting a flag.
It's practically like going back to your hometown to get married after finishing this battle.

The world of Arad has changed due to the study of magic; for example, there are now many teleportation and defensive spells between cities.

Various sealing spells exist between forests and cities, keeping monsters away from human cities.

At this moment, Liang Yue and Celia tried to walk along the more secluded paths in the Thunder Ruins.

And in this dense forest, there are occasional swamps on the ground.

Celia accidentally stepped into a swamp and cried out in surprise, "Ouch!"

Liang Yue pulled Celia out of the swamp, while goblins who heard the noise rushed out from all directions.

There were several hundred goblins in the group, and their leader was a white-skinned goblin.

It held a curved blade in its hand, pointed it at Liang Yue and the other person in front of it, and roared: "The forest fire was definitely caused by you humans! After killing you, I will attack the town and kill everyone!"

Celia immediately spoke up to explain, "There must be some misunderstanding here!"

The white goblin, however, was clearly unconvinced. "Misunderstanding my foot! Humans all deserve to die!"

"With such a small scale, you think you can attack humanity?"

Liang Yue snorted coldly, and when the goblins in the distance threw stones at him, he no longer held back.

He wielded his sharp katana, and the sword energy of selflessness was immediately released, slicing through the flying stone.

The remaining sword energy then slashed down the approaching goblins.

That wasn't all. Liang Yue sheathed her sword and then unleashed a powerful slash.

As a result, hundreds of goblins were killed by this move.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of goblins were instantly killed by Liang Yue, a level of combat power that shocked Celia.

"Liang Yue, you're so strong! Even if we can't persuade them, it seems humanity won't be slaughtered by monsters!"

Celia then looked at the dead goblins with a hint of regret. "If only everyone could live in peace."

Looking at the dejected Celia, Liang Yue replied, "Peace is won through fighting."

In my view, peace between races requires mutual integration. Perhaps true peace can only be achieved when both the high-ranking and lower-ranking members of both sides have an equal probability of being killed…

This is what Liang Yue considers a relatively reasonable peaceful method: military deterrence.

When those in power are just as vulnerable to being killed by enemy attacks as ordinary people, they will cherish the lives of ordinary people.

Celia lowered her head sadly, seemingly recalling unpleasant memories. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a map.

"I think we need to talk to Sauta; maybe that can change their minds."

This map shows the location to the Ruins of Venomous Thunder. Liang Yue, shall we go and stop the cat demons here?

Celia guessed that the cat demons here had already cooperated with the goblins and were preparing to attack the town together.

If it's just a town with a population of around 10,000, and they're all ordinary people.

Facing an attack by thousands of monsters, the casualties would likely be staggering. Liang Yue nodded, "Let's go. If they don't know what's good for them, I'll take care of them too."

While slaying these monsters, Liang Yue also gained experience points, so he didn't hold back at all.

On the contrary, because killing monsters gives him experience points, he doesn't feel any psychological burden at all.

Afterwards, Liang Yue and the other person arrived at the Ruins of the Venomous Thunder.

The surrounding environment was not much different from the Thunderous Ruins, except that the swamp had changed from dark green to purple.

The air smelled even more pungent, and staying here for a long time might have serious health consequences.

Hundreds of cat demons surrounded Liang Yue and her companion. The eyes of these monsters glowed crimson, and drool dripped from their mouths onto the ground.

Surrounded by so many monsters, Celia felt a little uneasy, but when she thought of Liang Yue's amazing performance not long ago, she immediately felt at ease.

"Cat Demon King, can you please not attack human towns?"

The cat demon king, whose entire body was purple and whose body was as large as a tiger, simply roared, "Humans, die!"

It is clearly another group of monsters that are hostile to humans.

Liang Yue then picked up her weapon again and began to fight. Because there were many enemies, Liang Yue naturally began to use the Reverse Ghost Sword Technique.

A barrage of sword energy swept across, and the cat demons were quickly slain.

Because the sword energy released by Liang Yue in a short period of time was too powerful and too numerous.

As a result, the cat demon king and the other cat demons were all killed by Liang Yue as soon as they had the idea of ​​escaping.

In just a few breaths, all the cat demons were dead.

Celia looked at Liang Yue with admiration in her heart. So the Sword Soul was such a powerful class!

So many powerful enemies were instantly killed in front of Mr. Liang Yue!

After a short rest, Celia and Liang Yue continued their journey.

Frosty Dark Forest
The environment here has become noticeably colder, and Liang Yue even saw large amounts of ice in the forest.

Celia shivered from the cold. "It's so cold. I know a tiny bit of magic."

This is the masterpiece of the magical sisters Pinoshu and Krahri's sister Krahri. I felt fear and anger from the ice.

They must have encountered some problems as well.

Liang Yue straightened the katana and fastened it to her belt. "Shall we take a look while we're at it?"

"Ok!"

In this forest covered with frost and ice, Liang Yue and Celia saw many monsters frozen inside the ice.

This kind of enemy, capable of altering the surrounding environment, is clearly much stronger than the enemies Liang Yue had encountered before.

Not long after, the two encountered a woman carrying a magic wand and wearing a blue robe.

The woman had long black hair and a crazed expression.
"I must stop the fire! I must stop all of this!"

Celia leaned closer. "Excuse me, are you Krah?"

Krach glanced at Celia and Liang Yue, seemingly answering Celia's question, yet also muttering to himself.

"Sister, you set fire to the forest, Sister Pinocheau, why?"

Krah's tone turned icy, and then she raised her staff, aiming it at Liang Yue and Celia.

A bright light appeared beneath Liang Yue's feet, which was the reason why magical elements gathered there.

When magical elements are concentrated enough, physical phenomena will occur.

The most common examples are light emission and heat generation.

Cold ice spikes fell from the sky, piercing towards the bright spots on the ground.

Liang Yue had already grabbed Celia and moved to hide behind her.

"Mr. Liang Yue, please don't kill her."

Liang Yue nodded, then quickly approached Krah.

Krah continued waving his staff, unleashing a storm of ice and various ice spikes that flew towards Liang Yue.

However, such attacks had no effect on Liang Yue.

In less than a second, Liang Yue was already in front of Krach, and then the hilt of the knife in her right hand struck the other man's navel.

One punch sent Krach sprawling to the ground, where he arched his back like a shrimp, his eyes rolling back as he passed out.

When Krah woke up, she saw Celia and Liang Yue and explained to them.

"I'm sorry, I lost my temper. I don't know why, but my sister started a fire in the forest. Please, you must save my sister!"

After saying that, Krach knelt down on the ground, and was then helped up by Liang Yue.

"I will do my best, and I hope it's not too late."

Because Pinoshu was in the heart of the forest, which was even further from Graca, Celia and Liang Yue decided to go to Graca first and explain the situation to Sauta.

Sauta is the leader of the minotaurs, and together with Krah and Pinoch, they guard the Grand Forest.

Generally speaking, Sauta is responsible for leading the minotaur soldiers to maintain order within the Grand Forest.

Krah and Pinoch were primarily responsible for maintaining the magic arrays within the Grand Forest.

When adventurers or others trespass here, they will naturally be dealt with by monsters.

The three people guarding the Grand Forest are primarily responsible for preventing the monsters inside from leaving and attacking humans.

Adventurers will venture outside the town to explore and clear out monsters that dare to break out of the magic circle.

Players refer to the areas where these monsters are located as "dungeons," while locals or adventurers call them "underground cities," "ruins," "forbidden zones," and so on.

On the way to Graca, Liang Yue killed all the monsters that attacked her.

The two then finally met Sauta.

Sauta is a minotaur who is about six meters tall, with red hair and a huge battle axe in his hand.

"I'm giving you a chance, please leave here!"

Sauta's voice was loud and powerful.

Celia stepped forward. "I am Celia of the Elwin Line. Fighting between humans and the inhabitants of the forest only brings needless sacrifice..."

"Hmph! Humans are only good at scheming and plotting! It's you humans who set fires!"

In Sauta's view, the magical sisters were also human beings.

"Want to talk? Then defeat me first!"

Sauta roared and raised his giant axe to strike Liang Yue...
