"Wait, what? How the hell did earth reach that state? I was only gone for a month?" Mike screamed with the confusion and anger flashing his eyes.
"Calm down! For now, let's just focus on killing those and then move on. It seems you have mastered the Laws. But, I don't understand why can't I use the ability energy?" Sword Demon patted his shoulder and pointed at the worms while asking him.
Mike calmed down a little but he was still worried. Hearing his question, Mike answered "I don't know the exact reason but our ability energy is blocked. Dude, we are in a completely different universe. Here, the power system is completely different."
"You are right. We both have a lot to catch up on. But for now, let's just focus on slaughtering those!"
"But, I don't understand one thing," Mike answered and appeared next to Bing Lan. His sudden appearance startled her but soon calmed down.
"How does this place works? How could he appear here while we are crossing the floor? Is it possible for others to appear as well?" Mike asked.
"I don't know much about this place as well. But, it is impossible for others to appear unless they appear directly inside the tower. In that case, they won't be evaluated or given rewards. But, they can still help us. I think since we haven't received any sorts of information from the tower." Bing Lan instantly shook her head and replied.
She had nothing to hide and she was partially confused about their discussion. Suddenly, she leaned near him and asked "Doesn't your friend cultivate spiritual qi? He has the sword intent and a strong body but he doesn't have the cultivation."
Hearing her question, Mike smirked and said "Let me kiss you once and I'll tell you!"
"Nonsense!" Bing Lan brushed off the topic after shouting at him with an angry expression. But, her heartbeat was accelerating. As soon as she turned around, her face was blushing.
"Mike, we are not shooting porn here. Can you just stop flirting in the middle of a battle?" Sword Demon sighed as he slowly floated down to the ground.
"Hey, I am not a porn star. And, how can you fly without the ability to energy? Is it the Sword Intent as well?" Mike asked with confusion on his head.
"Sword Intent can do anything I want. As long as I have strong sword intent, I can break anything with a single word. By the way, you don't have to worry about your girlfriend and that boy. He has realized the Sword Intent as well."
"Although he isn't good as me in the sword, his speed of improvement is astonishing." Sword Demon spoke.
"Well, that's because he got a certain help. By the way, if you promise to do something for me, I can give you something that can probably help you improve at that same speed. By something I mean a guide like cultivation technique." Mike smirked and tried to pull the Sword Demon in his team.
As he moved further, he realized it's not just the women he needs. He also needs talented people like Lucas, Andrew, and even Sword Demon. Having them as the team could potentially help him a lot.
"We should definitely talk about that later. They are escaping." Sword Demon sighed and pointed his thumb at the metal-worms that were moving to the ground.
"Holy shit! I can't let them escape." Mike instantly disappeared and appeared above them. Half of their bodies have already escaped and Mike didn't even know what to do. He wrapped his body with the golden luster of kong's body and used the spiritual qi to access the chaos body.
The Fighting Spirit coated his body as he moved towards them at a speed. At the same time, domineering force gathered at his fist. His strength had already skyrocketed and now with the domineering force condensed at his fist, his strength was even above most.
Bang!
He didn't target the worm instead smashed the ground. The impact broke the ground as his fist pierced at the bottom. The ground at the side rose and those worms flew up with the impact.
Snap!
As soon as Mike started sinking towards the bottom, he snapped his finger and teleported to the sky. He looked at the bottom and muttered "Gold? Why is there gold hidden under the tower? And, why is it shaped as an egg?"
Suddenly, his eyes sparkled as he shouted "Sword Demon, handle them for a moment! I will be back soon."
As soon he said that he jumped towards the bottom. Before even he could get the reply from the Sword Demon, he was already inside the ground. As soon as he reached below, he found there was a huge hole created by his punch.
Mike floated and passed down the hole to reach the golden egg. But, as soon as he entered the hole, he appeared in a dark space that was illuminated by the golden egg.
"Shit!" Mike cursed hard as soon as he saw hundreds of metal-worm around the golden egg.
'Damn! I should have thought about their nest.'
Outside the hole,
Bing Lan looked at the Sword Demon and asked "Didn't he guess that metal-worm nest is below the ground?"
Pat!
Listening to her words, Sword Demon slapped his head and muttered "I pity those girls. How could they handle someone as careless as him?"
"You mean he really didn't think about the nest?" Bing Lan's mouth widen as she spoke.
"And here, I thought it was a good thing that I found him." Sword Demon muttered to him while clutching the sword in his hand. He took a deep breath and spoke "Let's not focus on him! Can you use that attack once again?"
"Why? Can't you use the sword intent?" Bing Lan asked with confusion.
"I can use the Sword Intent but I don't have the energy to reinforce it. My sword intent can pierce through its body but only when its hard shell is broken." Sword Demon explained as he looked at the worm falling towards the ground.
"Hmm! Can you teach me how to condense the Sword Intent?" Bing Lan asked.
Hearing her request, Sword Demon hesitated for a moment and asked "You seem young but you are strong. At least, I can sense an enormous amount of energy from you. You should be very talented to achieve all this so why can't you comprehend the Sword Intent?"
"Because I don't have the talent for the sword." Bing Lan flashed a bit of anger in her eyes as she spoke.
"Wait, why would you even practice a sword when you don't want it?" Sword Demon asked.
"Because swordsmanship can help us fight beyond realms." Bing Lan replied with a little bit of frustration.
"Who said that?" Sword Demon asked.
"Umm! Pretty everybody I guess." Bing Lan shrugged her shoulders and replied.
Hearing her answer without any hesitation, Sword Demon stopped for a moment. He thought and answered, "Do you think swords can slash everything?"
"As long as you have enough strength." Bing Lan answered.
"But, what if your opponent can break your sword?" Sword Demon asked.
"Uhhh! Then, I will another sword." Bing Lan answered.
Sword Demon sighed and crouched down. He lifts her a stone and shot it. The stone moved at an insane speed, piercing a bit of the metal worm that was escaping to the ground. Sword Demon turned around and asked.
"Did you see?"
"You used Sword Intent?" Bing Lan was a little confused. She didn't see anything particularly sharp about the sword and didn't sense the sword's intent either.
"It was a Sword Spirit. Since you are a swordsman, Sword Will is something you must comprehend to be a true swordsman. Only when you comprehend the Sword Will, you can manifest the Sword Spirit. I coated that stone with the Sword Spirit and shot it."
"The Sword Spirit increased the sharpness of the stone. You lack Sword Will and Sword Spirit. Why are you trying to comprehend the Sword Intent without laying the proper foundation?" Sword Demon asked.
"Huh! What do you mean? Swordsmanship is divided into Sword Energy Realm, Sword Heart Realm, Sword Soul Realm, Sword Intent Realm, Sword Lord Realm, Sword King Realm, Sword Saint Realm, Sword Emperor Realm, and Sword God Realm."
"I am currently at the Sword Soul Realm. My sword soul is currently growing stronger inside my sword. But, it is not ready to hold the sword intent. I need to make my sword soul stronger. But for that, I need the enlightenment about the sword."
"Only then I can nurture my sword soul and comprehend the sword's intent." Bang Lin looked at him with confusion and explained.
Listening to her explanation, Sword Demon touched his chin and fell in deep thought.
"So, this world doesn't have Sword Will and Sword Spirit. Instead, they focus on Sword Energy. And, what is sword heart? Is it something important? Did I miss it?"
"Hey, I don't know what are you mumbling about but we got a bigger problem. Those worms are escaping inside the deep ground. They will go against Brother Mu. We must help him." Bing Lan shouted as she looked at the tails of the worms entering the ground.
But, suddenly Sword Demon puts his hand on her shoulder and said "Let's talk! I need to know more about the swordsmanship of your world."
"Huh! Didn't you just hear what I just said? They are going after Brother Mu. They will definitely block the escape route for him." Bang Lin speechlessly looked at him and shouted.
"Don't worry about him! He is strong. He can handle this by himself."
