Because Sword Master Yun Hai had very good relationships with several mysterious races of the Western God's Domain, this was the mainstream parlance in the Western God's Domain.
Some people said that Yun Hai was a descendant of the Great Xia Empire, he just went to the White Lotus Sword Domain accidentally and found the White Lotus Secret Treasure here, which aroused his bloodline power.
Because Sword Master Yun Hai was entangled with several princesses of the Great Xia Empire, the people in the Eastern God's Domain believed in this point of view, which was even written in a lot of historical books.
There were also a lot of conjectures, such as Yun Hai was actually thousands of years old when he became the Sky Sword, or he was a reincarnation of a living Buddha.
Anyway, almost all the conjectures concluded that he was a super talent, who was born to be a Sky Sword.
"Cough, of course, Yun Hai's Quadrant Sword is his strongest sword skill, however, I guess that you don't know the first sword skill he learned. Am I right?" To be honest, if he didn't find "that thing" accidentally, the old master wouldn't believe that it was what Sword Master Yun Hai first practiced.
"What's the first sword skill Yun Hai learned?"
"Tell us, please!"
"Oh, if it's true, it will change history!"
White Lotus Sword Master coughed and drew out a small diary.
From its yellow cover, apparently, the small diary could be considered as a historical relic.
"March 3, Honeybee* 300, Grass Spirit* 50, Big Grass Spirit* 20."
"March 4, why can't I kill them all? Honeybee* 200, Grass Spirit* 60, Big Grass Spirit* 40."
"March 5, oh, I think I just understood something, keep going. Honeybee* 420, Grass Spirit* 73, Big Grass Spirit* 52."
"March 6, killing spree. Honeybee* 1000, Grass Spirit* 400, Big Grass Spirit* 150."
Listening to the numbers the old White Lotus Sword Master read loud on the stage, the disciples looked at each other in confusion.
Does it have any relationship with Yun Hai the Sky Sword?
"July 5, I finally understood an all-range attack sword skill. Let me try. Honeybee* 3000, Grass Spirit* 1000, Big Grass Spirit* 500."
"August 1, something just changed. I can see the traces. Honeybee’s fly along an 'eight' shape route, the traces of Grass Spirits and Big Grass Spirits are unfixable. Honeybee* 5000, Grass Spirit* 2000, Big Grass Spirit* 1000."
"October 1, set the coordinates of the Honeybee like this, and set the routes of Grass Spirits and Big Grass Spirits like this... this is a quadrant. This is a spatial coordinate."
"Oh, I understand! I have killed ten million Honeybees, a million Grass Spirits and half a million Big Grass Spirits."
"Three years! I can leave this valley now! I will name this sword skill as 'Yun Hai's Quadrant Sword', I think I can defeat that group of green hippos now!"
That was all in the diary. The old master touched his beard and showed a mysterious smile.
If he hadn't seen Yun Hai's personal handwriting before, he wouldn't have found this diary in the used market.
After White Lotus Sword Master announced the master of the diary, it caused a buzz amongst the disciples under the stage.
"It's awesome! Is it Sword Master Yun Hai's practicing experience?"
"Honeybee, Grass Spirit and Big Grass Spirit must be very terrible monsters. Even Yun Hai the Sword Master had to fight three years with them."
"The green hippos must be mutants from hell. It isn't surprising to find new mutants of this race."
"Yes, this is Sword Master Yun Hai's diary. I found it by accident." White Lotus Sword Master sighed with emotion.
"From it, I guess that Sword Master Yun Hai’s Tao of Sword is to brandish his sword a million times. No matter what kind of genius you are, if you want to make yourself something, you must practice yourself hard."
"Your Tao of Sword are all good, you should put your hearts and souls into them!"
The old master realized his mistake in the past. When he was young, he changed his road of sword skill several times, which didn't help him at all but made him achieve nothing. Finally, he could barely enter the sixth rank when he was already an old man.
If I could have been persistent like Sword Master Yun Hai when I was young, everything would be different!
"Perseverance" is also a kind of talent!
...
"Honeybee, Grass Spirit, Big Grass Spirit, green hippo..." Yun Xi rubbed his forehead under the stage. Just now, some vague memories suddenly appeared inside his head.
Chapter 385: The Sword God's Dairy
Green mountain, clear water, and all kinds of herbs.
Who am I? Where am I from? What am I doing here?
Wait, why are the honeybees so ferocious?
Whoa! They’re coming! I can't run away!
...
January 1, I don't know where I am. I'm just a common young boy who wants to be a Pharmacist, why am I here? Is it the god's will?
"No! It's a curse!" The young boy tore off the first page of the diary.
"I have failed the entrance test of the Pharmacist three times and is going to re-sit, why did I suddenly appear at this place?"
"What's wrong with the Honeybees, Grass Spirits and Big Grass Spirits? And why do I know their names?"
"I have only a wooden sword in my hand, it can't even be used to kill a honeybee! Am I going to die?"
"Wait, why is there a bonfire? Wasn't I killed just now?"
These questions almost made this 18 year old young boy go crazy.
He clearly remembered that he just failed the third entrance test of the pharmacist. After throwing the report card into the trash can, he sank down on his bed and began to sleep.
When he woke up, the entire world changed. He didn't know where he was, he just knew that he was in a valley, with a bonfire, some trees and countless Honeybees, Grass Spirits and Big Grass Spirits.
He thought that he was dreaming, but after he left the bonfire, he was immediately attacked by the loathful Honeybees.
Oh, my goal is to become a Pharmacist, I know nothing about how to fight! In the face of the combative Honeybees, what can I do?
Not surprisingly, he was killed instantly, and that wasn't the end. He had revived beside the bonfire and were killed over a hundred times, which made him start to doubt the meaning of his life.
If the combat power of a Honeybee was 1, then his combat power didn't even reach 1.
But, is it my fault? I'm just a Pharmacist!
...
January 2, challenge the Honeybees again. Record: 0 to 30. The best performance was touching a Honeybee using the wooden sword, then I was stung to death.
What are these Honeybees? Why were they always chasing after me once they saw me?
I just want to be a common pharmacist, not a spartan warrior! The god who brought me here, if you can hear my words, I'm willing to offer you half of my wealth in my life, just let me leave this damned place!
...
January 3, be realistic, Yun Hai, this isn't a dream, neither a trick. You are trapped here. Although you can revive beside the mysterious bonfire, you can never leave if you can't defeat the Honeybees!
Thinking! Thinking! There must be a solution! Even though I have only a wooden sword, there must be still hope!
...
January 4, I know time is meaningless here, because I didn't see the sun rise or set. However, I will still count the time. This is the fourth day after I came to this strange world, I will go challenge the Honeybees!
Whoa! I'm wrong, the Honeybees are too strong! I'm no match for them!
What can I do? What can I do?
...
January 10, there isn't food and water, I'm hungry and thirsty. I'm dying.
Maybe it's a good thing. Maybe I can come back after I starve to death.
...
January 11, anyone who sees my diary, just laugh at me.
I chose to starve myself to de
ath. I'm a pharmacist, I know what I can eat, but I still starve myself to death. I thought that a miracle would happen after that.
Oh, there is no miracle. Even if I'm not killed, I will still revive beside the bonfire.
I think I have to pick up the wooden sword.
If this is a test from God, there is only one way out: using my sword!
...
January 12, I did it! Although I died immediately after that, I killed a Honeybee!
I felt I just became slightly stronger. Is it my imagination?
...
January 15, I killed the fifth Honeybee. I can confirm it now. Everytime I kill a Honeybee, I will obtain something.
I can't see it, I don't know what it is, maybe I just absorbed the Honeybee's life force or something else, anyway, I can become strong in this manner.
Maybe it's time to make a choice.
In fact, I have no choice.
To kill or to be killed.
I can only go forward, because there is no way back.
...
January 30, the last day of the first month after I came to this world. Something happened, and I know I just lost something forever. Maybe I can never return to my past life.
When I drew my sword and chose to kill, I can't turn back.
Looking up at the starry sky, this is really an incredible world. A month ago, I was so weak, so afraid, but now, I already got used to all of this.
In addition, apart from the Honeybees, Grass Spirits and Big Grass Spirits, a new monster appeared.
It was a green hippo, who was more terrible than the Honeybees, Grass Spirits and Big Grass Spirits. Even a hundred I myself are no match for it.
Fortunately, it didn't find me when it passed by the bonfire.
The green hippo is far stronger than other common monsters, moreover, green hippos are social beings, there must be more green hippos nearby.
I have a feeling that these green hippos are the final obstacle stopping me from leaving this valley. If I want to challenge them, I need to practice my sword skill to my limit.
Since I can become stronger by killing Honeybees, if I kill ten million Honeybee’s and Grass Spirits and Big Grass Spirits, can I obtain the power to defeat the green hippo?
Anyway, for my freedom, green hippos must die!
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. Yo
u are just an ordinary person, whose goal is to be a pharmacist and likes to study math in my spare time.
