The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 101 - 101 101 Bronze War Body

101: Chapter 101: Bronze War Body 101: Chapter 101: Bronze War Body “Since he has comprehended the Sword Intention, I doubt he would easily forsake Sword Art to practice Body Refining Skill.”

The War God Old Man murmured to himself.

Practicing Body Refining Skill was originally much more challenging than ordinary cultivation methods, and it requires massive willpower and perseverance.

And the Body Refining Skill of the War God Palace—it’s the top Body Refining Skill Under the Heaven—requires the warrior to concentrate entirely, dedicating his heart and soul to his cultivation.

If one, like Lin Bai, tries to practice both Sword Art and Body Refining Skill, he would end up achieving nothing.

Once, the War God Palace had conducted a similar experiment, letting a prodigy of Sword Art try practicing Body Refining Skill.

However, eventually, the prodigy achieved neither great accomplishments in Sword Art nor high grades in Body Refining Skill.

“Hahaha, come here.

All who enter will die!”

The domain of the Sword Intention shrouded around, transforming the area of a hundred meters around Lin Bai into a world of swords, where invisible sharp swords sliced relentlessly at the charging War Souls.

Seven days later, out of tens of thousands of War Souls, Lin Bai had directly killed over nine thousand.

As nine thousand God’s Forces entered his body, Lin Bai’s body resonated with a series of snapping sounds.

His whole body exuded a burst of bronze-colored glow.

“Bronze War Body!”

Lin Bai was surprised; his body was as tough as bronze and iron—this was the first stage of the War God Formula, the Bronze War Body.

Roar!

At that very moment, a King-level War Soul roared and lifted its copper hammer high above its head, smashing it down with unimaginable ferocity.

With a bang.

The hammer, powerful enough to shatter the Earth, demolished Lin Bai’s Sword Intention and landed on Lin Bai with a resounding blow.

“Get out of my way!”

Lin Bai punched out, his fist colliding with the copper hammer.

Bang!

The punch caused both the War Soul and Lin Bai to retreat by three steps.

The War Soul’s body was emitting black smoke, as if it was about to collapse at any moment.

Lin Bai, however, was unhurt.

On usual times, a single hammer strike from this King-level War Soul would be enough to nearly kill Lin Bai.

But now, one blow came and Lin Bai effortlessly took it with the power of his Bronze War Body.

“What a strong Bronze War Body!”

Lin Bai’s face was ecstatic.

The King-level War Soul, enraged, again hoisted its copper hammer, aiming it at Lin Bai.

One hammer after another, each carrying a force that could shatter the heavens, came raining down on Lin Bai from above.

“Come, let’s see if you can smash me to death!”

Lin Bai, thrilled, punched towards the King-level War Soul’s copper hammer.

The collision spread a terrifying impact force that shattered nearby War Souls into pieces.

“With my present cultivation at the Xuanwu Realm Seventh Level on top of the Bronze War Body, I won’t be at a disadvantage when battling against masters of the First Level of the Earth Martial Realm.”

“In fact, I could even kill them!”

While Lin Bai was thinking about this, he suddenly drew his Sinister Wind Sword.

A Waning Shadow darted above the King-level War Soul’s head.

Holding the sword with both hands, Lin Bai roared, and a sword embodying the Creation of Heaven and Earth slashed down on the King-level War Soul’s head.

The sword Qi entered the King-level War Soul’s head and pulled towards its crotch.

This sword strike split the King-level War Soul into two halves.

The God’s Force of the King-level War Soul once again improved Lin Bai’s Bronze War Body by a bit.

Having just killed the King-level War Soul, Lin Bai was about to celebrate when the scene changed.

The War God Old Man pulled him back to the stone cave.

“Old War, have I passed?” Lin Bai asked curiously.

“Leave that aside for now, Lin Bai.

I am asking you, have you comprehended Sword Intention?”

The War God Old Man asked with a serious expression.

“Yes!” Lin Bai nodded.

He had exhibited Sword Intention in the Trial Ground, and Lin Bai knew he could not escape the War God Old Man’s scrutiny.

Lin Bai was puzzled, wondering why the War God Old Man asked about this.

“Then, are you willing to give up Sword Intention to practice the War God Formula?”

The War God Old Man asked candidly.

Lin Bai was taken aback.

Lin Bai did not understand why the War God Formula and Sword Intention could not be cultivated together.

“Senior, I regret to say that I can’t comply.

Sword Art has always been the path I want to take.

The sword in my hand has once slain numerous formidable enemies, and accompanied me through many lonely years.”

“In my glorious times, my sword aided me in conquering all sides and proclaiming myself as king on the spot.

When I was desolate, my sword helped me defeat my enemies, assisting me to climb peak after peak.”

“No matter the time or place, I will never give up the sword in my hand.”

Lin Bai spoke firmly.

“Alright, I understand.” The War God Old Man gave a bitter smile.

“Senior, why did you ask me this question?

Can the War God Formula and Sword Art not be cultivated together?” Lin Bai curiously asked.

The War God Old Man shook his head in despair, “One’s energy is ultimately limited; Body Refining Skill and Sword Art are both among the top choices within the Great Dao of Heaven, cultivating one is already taxing.”

“Once, the War God Palace tried an experiment, providing the War God Formula to a martial arts talent proficient in the sword.

However, by the end, this Sword Art genius failed to make any progress before his untimely death.”

“Lin Bai, your talent in Sword Art is strong, the War God Formula is too profound, I fear that if you split your attention to cultivate the War God Formula, it will hinder your Sword Art.”

“Alternatively, you could give up Sword Art, and I will pass on the War God Formula to you.

In the future, I will assist you wholeheartedly to help the War God Palace rise again.”

“If you refuse to give up Sword Art, then this inheritance has nothing to do with you.”

The War God Old Man said lightly.

“Is that so.”

Lin Bai could tell that the War God Old Man was trying to find a warrior with a cleaner cultivation to inherit the legacy of the War God Palace.

Why “cleaner martial arts”?

It means, unlike Lin Bai, don’t look at what’s in the pot while eating from the bowl, practicing Sword Art one day, body refining skill the next, then alchemy, and tool refining the following day.

Martial Art is a singular path, and it matters to not be greedy.

“However, if you promise me one thing, I can pass on the cultivation methods of the first three layers of ‘War God Formula’ to you.”

The War God Old Man faintly said.

Lin Bai was more than thrilled.

The War God Palace’s body refining skill is among the peak techniques in this world, even the first three levels are rare.

Since the War God Old Man was unwilling to give Lin Bai the complete ‘War God Formula’, receiving the first three levels was still a good deal.

“Senior, go ahead, if I can do it, I surely won’t refuse,” Lin Bai said joyously.

“After you leave, promise me that you will find someone excellent at body refining and direct them here to be the heir of the War God Palace.

Then I can give you the cultivation methods for the first three levels of the War God Formula.”

The War God Old Man spoke.

“Yes, once I leave, if I find a suitable person, I will definitely guide them to this cliff,” Lin Bai excitedly replied.

Finding an heir for the War God Palace shouldn’t be a problem.

There are so many body refining practitioners Under Heaven, Lin Bai couldn’t believe that he wouldn’t find one to the old man’s liking.

“Very well, now I will pass on to you the code words needed to cultivate the first three levels.”

“The first level, the Bronze War Body, you have already cultivated.”

“Next are the Silver War Body and the Golden War Body.”

The War God Old Man stretched out a finger, and a stream of light seeped into Lin Bai’s forehead.

Suddenly, Lin Bai’s mind was filled with a grand and unmatched Martial Art technique!

“Thank you, senior.”

“Senior, I am indebted to you for saving my life today and do not know how to repay you.

Since I cannot receive the inheritance of the War God Palace, if I am fortunate enough one day to come across a body refining talent, I will assuredly guide them to this place, have them take the test, and select an heir for the War God Palace.”

Lin Bai spoke lightly.

“Good, remember what you promised.”

The War God Old Man laughed, waving his hand, he sent Lin Bai out of the Trial Ground.

Once he left the stone cave, Lin Bai realized that he was still under the cliff.

Under Lin Bai’s feet, there was a dilapidated stone with the words ‘War God’ on it.

Lin Bai quickly jumped down, picked up the stone, sighing lightly, “Once a Peerless Sect is now reduced to just this dejected stone.”

Lin Bai tidied up the stone and put it to the side.

“It has been seven days; I wonder if Qi Shaolong is still in Flying Dragon City.”

Lin Bai, with a face full of murderous intent, headed toward Flying Dragon City.
