Chapter 386: The Basics of God Sword

What is a sword skill?

Sword was just a weapon used to kill people. Flowery language couldn’t change the nature of its use.

I have only a wooden sword, lucky in unlucky, it would never wear and tear.

The wooden sword didn’t have a sharp blade. If I want to kill a Honeybee, I must attack the weakest part of its body. My strength is weak, if I can’t kill the Honeybee in one brandish, I would be hurt immediately. Therefore, I can’t waste a bit of my strength.

My sword skill should be simple and straight.

Yes, just like one plus one in math. My sword should follow the simplest rule in the world.

…

After killing 20 Honeybees, the increase of my strength started to slow down. It seems that my body can’t absorb more power now. It isn’t surprising, after all, my body is weak, otherwise, I wouldn’t choose to be a pharmacist.

Since I can’t increase my strength without limit, I need to figure out how to raise the efficiency of using my power. I should stop hunting Grass Spirits until I’m more confident of success.

I won’t die, this is my biggest advantage.

As long as I can learn from my countless failures, even though I’m still weak now, I can become strong in the future.

My concept about time is becoming vague. I gradually forget my past self, and start to change bit by bit.

Maybe this is the purpose of the god who threw me into this world.

I will become strong.

I can do it.

Because apart from this, I have nothing to do.

…

It’s strange, I killed three Honeybees and didn’t get hurt. Why? I know my strength didn’t increase.

Theoretically, I can only defeat one Honeybee one on one, I shouldn’t have any chance to defeat three Honeybees at the same time.

Am I becoming stronger?

Maybe something else is changing.

…

February 20.

I have stopped to write in my diary every day. This is the 50th day after I came to this world, finally, I killed the strongest Big Grass Spirit and my strength increased again. I think I can become stronger.

The bad news is that the number of Honeybee, Grass Spirit and Big Grass Spirit also increased. They are like a part of this world. No matter how many of them I have killed, their number won’t reduce and is even increasing.

It’s strange, my knowledge as a pharmacist let me understand that it’s absurd. The environment in this valley can’t support such a big food chain.

Why didn’t I find it before? There is no Honeybee Queen here. Honeybees should appear in gardens, and the Grass Spirits should live in the forest. They shouldn’t appear here!

Green hippos are monsters at the top of the food chain, it’s impossible that a group of green hippos chooses to live here!

This world… it’s like… like…

…

January 28.

I understand, but I can’t do anything. If this world is a cage made by a god, then I’m the prisoner in the cage. I need to find the key to unlock this cage.

However, where can I find the key?

The answer is right in my hands.

Sword skill. I need to practice my sword skill to the limit. In this cage where I won’t die, I have endless time to improve and perfect my sword skill.

Let me start.

Even if I have to kill the monsters here a million times, or even ten million times, I will find my Tao of sword and cut open this cage.

In my mind, I heard a strange song. Was it encouraging me?

Like the sun that will rise from the ground every day, even if I’m surrounded by the relentless darkness, I will also break it by using my mutilated body.

Like the night that will come every day, even if I’m troubled due to the twisted fate of today, I still believe that the world will never change. Only we will be changed. The truth that we are still alive is our strongest weapon.

After a while, the song disappeared, however, I can feel that an emotion called “courage” is rising inside of my heart.

I will unravel this absurd world! The existence of myself is my strongest weapon!

…

March 1. My power stopped increasing again. Even if I killed a Big Grass Spirit, I didn’t obtain too much power.

It’s predictable that my attack power and speed would stop increasing at a high speed. Maybe I need to kill a hundred thousand monsters before my power increases again.

The problem is that I’m not the only one who is becoming stronger, the Honeybees, Grass Spirits, and Big Grass Spirits are evolving too. They start to use tactics and move in groups.

I need to hurry. The problem is becoming more and more serious.

…

It’s time to make a choice.

What is my sword? What is the Tao of my sword skill?

I’m so weak, what kind of sword skill can help me overcome the strong enemies? How can I leave this cage of time and space?

Return to the start point, how did I kill the first Honeybee?

One plus one.

Generalizing everything to be math problems, calculate and predict the trajectory of the Honeybee.

This is math.

Yes, I’m not a qualified swordsman, I never learned any sword skill before. My sword skill is based on math from the beginning.

I figure out the trajectory of the Honeybee and filled it into the computing formula I summed, so that I could kill the Honeybee.

I should give up on trying any other sword skill and only focus on the “sword skill” I created.

Yun Hai, you are not a genius, you don’t have any talent or bloodline ability about the sword. You are just an ordinary person, whose goal is to be a pharmacist and likes to study math in my spare time.

I don’t know what the practice method of a real swordsman is, I only know the sword skill I created.

So, keep calculating, this is my only way to become stronger.

If I can accomplish it someday, I will give it an inscrutable name.

Yun Hai’s Quadrant Sword.

The basic of learning it is to study “Nine Chapters on Mathematical Art” and “Geometrical Principle”.
