Terraria: The Digitalized Me Is Causing Chaos

“Wait… shouldn't we go outside first?”

Linghu Chong frowned slightly and also picked up the long sword placed beside the stone bed. Although he said so, his eyes became solemn and sharp.

“Senior brother, the strong never complain about the environment, be careful… I'm going in!”

What a joke, how could I 'inadvertently' open the hidden cave that contains the swordplay secrets if I went outside to fight?

Yang Tao gathered his inner strength into his legs and fully utilized the Flying Swallow Return Flight movement technique. He stomped hard on the ground, and his whole body shot towards Linghu Chong like a cannonball.

“Good move!”

Seeing Yang Tao exuding an unmatched aura, Linghu Chong was also shocked. This junior brother hadn't been on the mountain for long, but he already possessed such an aura. He was truly a monster.

It's just that this saber technique… no, this isn't a saber technique at all. Junior brother is just relying on his speed and strength to chop at him, without any rhyme or reason.

Assuming a stance, Linghu Chong said, “Junior brother, this won't do. Your flaws are really…”

Before he could finish speaking, the long sword came into contact with the sharp firewood knife in Yang Tao's hand.

With a bang, a powerful and heavy blow, the strength and momentum made Linghu Chong suspect that Yang Tao wanted to split him in half.

He quickly tilted his sword to deflect most of the force, but this also made his arm a little numb.

‘I was careless, what did this junior brother eat to grow up? This strength…’

Yang Tao didn't show any disappointment when he saw his attack being deflected. He quickly twirled the firewood knife in his hand and slashed upwards, forcing Linghu Chong to take a step back.

“Senior brother, please be careful, junior brother is born with divine strength…”

Linghu Chong's expression became extremely serious, with a hint of excitement in his eyes. Yang Tao's attack just now had actually made him feel a sense of danger.

“Junior brother, please be careful.”

With that, Linghu Chong advanced forward with his sword, preparing to engage in close combat to minimize Yang Tao's strength.

Bang… bang… bang…

For a time, only the sound of weapons clashing remained in the cave.

Yue Lingshan and Lu Dayou, who had long moved away from the two, both had surprised expressions on their faces, but it wasn't because they thought Yang Tao could defeat Linghu Chong, but because of Yang Tao's moves.

Yue Lingshan couldn't help but ask in a low voice, “Sixth senior brother, did junior brother Yang have any enemies before joining the sect?”

Lu Dayou shook his head gently, his eyes fixed on the two in the arena. His face was a little pale. If he were Yang Tao's enemy, he would have already finished Yang Tao off, but he would definitely be crippled if not dead.

Yang Tao's attack had no rhyme or reason at all, adhering to the fighting style of 'I'll cripple your arm even if I die', completely sacrificing a thousand to injure the enemy by two hundred.

If Yang Tao knew what Lu Dayou was thinking, he would definitely be overjoyed in his heart, because that was exactly his plan. When he encountered an enemy, he would stab him through the heart with a sword, even if it meant losing a part of his body. He could then introduce the concept of a data-driven body to the other party's corpse.

Linghu Chong was also very frustrated now. In his opinion, Yang Tao's speed and strength were acceptable, but other aspects were really lacking. If they were to really fight, he wouldn't even need three moves to kill Yang Tao.

But this was a sparring session and guidance. He couldn't possibly kill Yang Tao with a single sword strike, or even injure him. After all, he was the senior brother, otherwise, his master would definitely send him a cotton quilt and make him live on the Cliff of Contemplation for two years.

Just as Linghu Chong was about to fail for the fifth time in using his skills to knock away the firewood knife in Yang Tao's hand, he wanted to stop this frustrating competition.

Suddenly, Yang Tao's expression froze, making him perk up. He saw Yang Tao forcefully throw the firewood knife in his hand, which Linghu Chong easily dodged as he was prepared.

Then, he quickly spoke to stop him.

“Alright, junior brother!”

Yang Tao glanced at the firewood knife stuck in the crack between the boulder and the wall, and was very satisfied in his heart.

‘Alright… I'll just pick up the firewood knife later and discover the secret cave. This is perfectly normal…’

But now he still had to fool Linghu Chong. He cupped his fist and bowed to Linghu Chong, saying, “Senior brother's strength is indeed powerful, junior brother is truly impressed.”

Then, he sighed and put on an expression of extreme disappointment, saying, “Even if junior brother uses all his skills, he still can't make senior brother use even one-tenth or one-twelfth of his ability. It seems that I am really arrogant and ignorant.”

Linghu Chong, who originally had a constipated expression on his face, couldn't help but be moved when he heard the disappointment in Yang Tao's words.

‘Could it be that I've hit junior brother too hard? This won't do. Junior brother's talent is outstanding. Although this saber technique is a bit unorthodox, with time and his master's guidance, he will definitely become a pillar of Mount Hua. I can't let him have such thoughts…’

Thinking of this, Linghu Chong quickly spoke to comfort him, “Junior brother, you have only been on the mountain for more than two months and you already have such strength. Looking at the entire Jianghu, it is rare.”

“Your innate divine strength is even more terrifying. Given time, you will definitely be able to surpass senior brother.”

He said so, but Linghu Chong didn't believe that Yang Tao could surpass him, after all, he was also improving.

Hearing Linghu Chong's words, Yang Tao's eyes lit up immediately and he said, “Senior brother, really?”

“Then… then I'll practice for a while longer and come to you for guidance again.”

Linghu Chong's smile froze on his face. He vividly remembered the frustrating feeling just now. Now he couldn't help but want to slap himself. Why did he say so much when he had nothing to do?

Yang Tao walked towards the location of the firewood knife, a heartfelt smile on his face.

‘It's really simple… If I knew I was so talented in acting, I would have gone to be a stuntman before I transmigrated.’

He grabbed the handle of the firewood knife and pulled it out of the stone crevice, revealing the dark cave inside.

Yang Tao pretended to be surprised and said, “Senior brother, there's another cave here?? ”

Linghu Chong was stunned when he heard this, and then walked towards Yang Tao's location with a puzzled expression. He poked his head out and looked at the stone crevice, saying, “I often come to the Cliff of Contemplation since I was a child, but I never knew that there was a cave within this cave.”

“Junior brother, please step aside.”

Yang Tao took a few steps back. Linghu Chong held his long sword and circulated his inner strength to the sword, thereby increasing the sword's toughness and sharpness.

A cold light flashed, and the long sword in Linghu Chong's hand slashed across the stone wall, and with a crash, a large amount of gravel fell down.

Yang Tao took a closer look and realized that the wall had long been hollowed out from the inside, leaving only a thin layer.

Lu Dayou and Yue Lingshan also curiously walked over and poked their heads into the cave.

Suddenly, Yue Lingshan let out a cry of surprise.

“What's wrong, junior sister?”

Linghu Chong quickly asked. Yue Lingshan's face was a little pale. She pointed her fair little hand at the ground inside the cave and said, “Senior brother, bones…”

Linghu Chong looked in the direction Yue Lingshan was pointing. A white skeleton was vaguely visible in the shadows of the cave. Linghu Chong frowned slightly and comforted her softly, “Junior sister, it's okay, that's just a skeleton.”

Then, he turned to look at Lu Dayou and said, “Sixth monkey, bring the torch over, I'll go in and take a look.”

Lu Dayou didn't say much, and directly took down the torch stuck on the cave wall and handed it to Linghu Chong.

The few of them followed behind Linghu Chong and all walked into the cave.
