An hour later.

Ding!Ding!Ding!

The crisp and dense sounds of metal clashing echoed through the valley.

In the flowerbed, two figures, one in red and one in black, were clashing at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye. The surging air currents swept up petals scattered on the ground, turning into a flowing, colorful storm that gathered and dispersed along with the trajectory of their weapons.

Each collision sent out blinding sparks, and the shockwaves spread like a tangible force, weighing down the surrounding flowers and plants.

The woman in red wielded a huge black scythe like a windmill, her attacks swift and heavy, relentlessly pressing forward and constantly compressing Fang Yu's space to dodge.

clang----

The scythe, carrying immense force, slashed down at his waist. Fang Yu, panting heavily, gripped the scythe with both hands, desperately bracing it against his sides, his feet dragging several meters along the ground, barely managing to withstand the sweeping blow.

Sizzle————

The woman in red smiled triumphantly, her hand gripping the scythe pulling back. The curved tip of the sickle snapped back like a venomous snake.

It swiftly stabbed at Fang Yu's back.

A sense of danger sent chills down Fang Yu's spine. Without time to think, he pushed off with his foot, creating a shallow crater, and leaped into the air, narrowly avoiding the insidious hook.

boom!

However, before he could land, the woman in red had already anticipated his landing point and was waiting on the ground. She then kicked him hard in the back.

Fang instantly transformed into a cannonball, crashing into the ground dozens of meters away, instantly filling the air with smoke and dust.

"Cough, cough cough————"

As the dust settled, Fang Yu struggled to his feet, planted his knife in the ground to steady himself, and waved to disperse the dust in front of him.

The woman in red did not give chase; instead, a relieved smile crossed her face, and the scythe in her hand had disappeared without a trace.

This newly accepted disciple, who couldn't even withstand a single strike at the beginning, is now able to fight her on equal footing under conditions of equal strength.

This indicates that he has initially mastered the method of integrating his will and soul energy into his swordsmanship, and is using it quite skillfully. With continued refinement, he will undoubtedly reach new heights.

She had no doubt about this; with his terrifying comprehension, the path to becoming a strong person had already been paved, and at the very least, he would never be weaker than her.

Seeing the woman in red put away her weapon, Fang Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his tense body relaxed, and then sheathed his black blade. While brushing the dust off his body, he checked the two skills he had acquired during the battle.

[Spiritual Combat Skill: LV1 (Passive)]

Skill effect: Increases skill-based damage by 10% and deals an additional 30 points of mixed damage to enemies, including Soul, Willpower, and Perception.

(Note: The damage dealt will inflict 15 negative effects on the enemy, including Soul Tear, Low Willpower, and Temporary Sensory Disruption.)

[Guardian Spirit: LV1 (Passive)]

Skill Effect: After negating or pardoning any control skill effect, it will deal Soul + Willpower + Perception × 0.5 damage to the enemy.

Mixed damage.

(Note: Enemies hit by mixed damage will suffer 15 negative effects, including Soul Tear, Low Willpower, and Temporary Perception Loss.)

The effects of these two passive skills are ridiculously powerful; at least, Fang Yu has almost never seen similar skill effects.

First is "Spiritual Combat Skill," which increases the damage of all skill-based abilities, somewhat similar to his class skill "Limit of Skill."

But so far, apart from "The Limit of Skill", he has not seen any skill that can provide a bonus to all techniques, which is truly rare and hard to come by.

Then there's the Guardian Spirit, which Fang Yu actually feels is more like an attack skill.

His "Mind Master" ability can already pardon control effects based on spirit, charm, and soul. And "Guardian Spirit" will automatically launch a mixed damage counterattack against the caster after a successful pardon. In other words, anyone who dares to use control skills on him in the future will suffer a heavy soul backlash.

Fang Yu is still unclear about the exact extent of the "Master of the Mind's" pardon limit, but what is certain is that contractors at the current stage have absolutely no chance of breaking through this limit.

Furthermore, this "mixed damage" itself is quite interesting.

The reason it can be accompanied by so many negative states is likely the result of the fusion of the three forces of soul, will, and perception.

The main problem is that Fang Yu couldn't confirm whether the extension of willpower and perception could be considered a form of energy. He simply did as the woman in red instructed, guiding his soul energy, injecting it with his personal will, and finally enveloping it with his perception and attaching it to the part he wanted to strengthen.

In short, he did as instructed and did it with ease. After using it a few times, it became so ingrained in his mind that he didn't have to put in any effort; he could do it on a whim.

All of this is thanks to the woman in red; her terrifying strength is one thing, but her genius surpasses even that.

According to her, this is an ability she learned from her master, which has been honed and refined over countless years of battles, eventually replacing the core ability of her original school.

To Fang Yu, being able to create such a technique makes him a true founder of a sect, right? At least he doesn't believe he has the ability to create such a technique himself.

His only self-created ability is the blade's edge.

The problem is that the blade's aura is an ability that can be acquired with a little understanding after one has reached a certain level of swordsmanship; it is not actually complicated.

"It's about time."

The voice of the woman in red suddenly came, with a hint of melancholy in her tone. She walked to the edge of the pool and, just like when they first met, quietly gazed at the cascading waterfall.

At this moment, Fang Yu felt an extreme calmness emanating from her, a profound tranquility that only appears after countless battles and until the very last moment of life.

"Are you going to die?"

"You die! I won't die!!"

The woman in red turned her head angrily and cursed loudly. After glaring at Fang Yu, she smiled coldly and said, "I'm just a projection of a soul. I can live a carefree life outside. You better pray that I don't run into you, or I'll definitely teach you a lesson."

Fang Yu suddenly realized something. He hadn't paid attention to what the other person was saying about training, but he hadn't expected that a single sentence would reveal so much useful information.

Soul projection is a new term I've never heard of before. It's very likely that even if it dissipates, it won't cause any harm to the original entity. It also seems to be able to recover the memories of the projection, which sounds like a pretty good ability. It should be a very high-level ability.

In addition, it was learned that the other party was still alive and living a carefree life, which means that the person who obtained the Book of the Forge did not obtain the teachings by killing the woman in red, but may have obtained them by chance.

The reason this woman in red appeared in the park is either because she was unaware of it and her projection was forcibly lowered by the park due to the Book of the Crucible, or because she had reached a cooperation agreement with the park.

Of course, regardless of the reason, Fang Yu now knows that he might encounter this woman in red again in the future.
