Chapter 152: A pretty painful setback

'Since the system has chosen me as a host, I must prove that I am qualified. This is a cultivation technique with no name and no one has dared to give it a name since its inception.

Because it is considered a blade technique that can take us to the pinnacle of blades.' Tang Yin replied and walked away from the tree again and looked at it, taking a deep breath, before making a similar move again, which triggered a small explosion, but this time, Tang Yin had missed one of his strikes.

[Do you have any counter?] the manager asked.

'Of course, the counter is easy, look.' Tang Yin replied as he raised his right arm a little and removed the sleeve of his clothes.

There was a deep open wound there.

This surprised the administrator.

[What the hell is that?] He asked in shock.

Didn't it look like a wound made with a sword recently? Blood was dripping from it, how had he not noticed? thought the administrator.

Tang Yin smiled.

'It's an extremely difficult sword technique to cultivate because of that. It is very painful. The attack I give can be returned to me if I don't have enough control of it. This strike I received this time, was the one I missed.' Tang Yin replied and covered his wound again.

'It's because of the system skill that I decided to start doing it in this place. But if I practice it for quite a while, the pain will become unbearable.' Tang Yin said and again focused his gaze on the tree, pouncing on it soon after as his sword moved at a speed almost impossible to see.

*BOM*

Small explosions and SWING sounded as Tang Yin was forcefully pushed backward.

He swiftly moved his sword to thrust it into the ground and frowned. S~eaʀᴄh the nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

'Tsk, this shit is so hard and painful.' Tang Yin thought as he watched his pants on his right leg quickly become stained with blood.

[On the leg?] The administrator asked in surprise, and Tang Yin nodded.

'Anywhere on the body, that's why I have spiritual bones protecting my vital points. There are those who have died practicing this cultivation technique, for not protecting their vital points.' Tang Yin replied and took a deep breath.

[Can't you evade it?]

'Heh, you've seen how fast that is, how can you ask that question? For my current self, it's practically impossible to avoid it. Unless..." Tang Yin said and stared at the tree again.

[Unless what?]

Tang Yin didn't answer him and dashed back towards the tree in front of him forcefully, using the skill again.

But this time, as soon as he used it, he put one foot on the ground and barely heard the SWING crossing the tree. Tang Yin turned his body sharply but soon felt the pain come to him.

"Tsk." Tang Yin said as he jumped backward and shook his left leg as soon as he fell, the pain was quite annoying.

'Unless I manage to predict where it's going to hit me and can dodge it. I thought it might be possible, but no, this seems to create damage to my flesh directly.' Tang Yin replied painfully and then sat down while eating some healing pills.

[Has anyone ever practiced this? Even after practicing it, the damage should still increase, isn't it suicide to practice this cultivation technique? If you receive a powerful undodgeable attack from yourself when you are at the peak, you might as well die] Said the administrator, he was in shock looking at this powerful skill.

Tang Yin smiled as he cultivated.

'In the history of cultivation technique, there are a total of 5 people who practiced it correctly. There are 2 of them in my era and only one of those 5 people, can avoid harm, who also belongs to my era.' Tang Yin replied.

[How does do it? Didn't you ask? Who is?] He asked quickly with curiosity and Tang Yin shrugged his shoulders a little.

'She's my wife. Although I asked her a few times, she didn't know how to explain it and at that time I wasn't interested in blade techniques. But she told me that it was possible to avoid it a little bit if you used a short sword or a dagger.' Tang Yin replied with a calm smile and then continued to recover.

A few hours later, he got up.

It was night, but seeing that Bai Lixue was still going about her business, he began to focus on the tree again.

On his feet, he continued to practice the ability to run at high speeds, so he instantly gathered powerful spiritual energies in his feet and rushed forward.

*SWING*

*BOM*

Tang Yin was pushed backward after this explosion, feeling pain a little under his clothes.

'This is strange...' He thought and did again what he had done before.

And this time, a part of the tree fell to the ground.

So, he continued doing it a few more times until he couldn't stand the pain and sat down again to recover.

'As expected, the energy is too fast, I can't even see a trace of it.'

'I can't even control the direction I hit it...' He thought, and a few hours later, in the early morning, he got up again.

This time he focused his gaze on a distant tree and traced the direction he wanted to hit with his eyes.

Then he raised the sword a little and made a simple, short, and small but precise movement as if he wanted to cut the distant tree in half while activating the cultivation technique in his mind.

His eyes never left the place where he wanted to strike.

And soon...

*SWING*

Three sounds rang out from the surroundings, startling Tang Yin, but he unconsciously moved his head a little to the right.

Just then, his face received a small damage on his left cheek, shocking him intensely.

In addition, three blows hit two trees in the distance and cut them in half.

Tang Yin then smiled and soon after let out a laugh.

"Hahaha, shit, this thing is really difficult. But I think I understand something." Tang Yin said with glee.

[How the hell did you see that attack?"] The administrator asked in surprise.

'I didn't see it; it was a purely instinctive and unconscious movement. But look at the trees, I managed to split them in half. I think I understand a little of the way this mysterious technique attacks.' Tang Yin replied with great joy.

Although he didn't manage to hit the tree, he wanted to hit at all, he was able to direct the attacks in the same way all the time and make them split two trees in half.

Moreover, what's even better, he managed to create 3 attacks!

Tang Yin, after that, spent the whole night practicing until there were numerous open wounds on his body and sat back down to cultivation to recover...
