Chapter 379: The Sword of Eternal Reincarnation

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Earlier, on the other side of the training field, Samuel’s junior brothers were discussing animatedly while Watson focused on learning the sword technique that Reid had taught him.

“The Heart Follows the Sword, and the Eye and the Sword are two different techniques! That move requires three uses at once. It sounds very difficult, but it’s nothing much. After all, I have knowledge from the Einherjar’s body and the system fusion.”

The Einherjar body contained a large amount of information about warriors and swordsmanship. That allowed Watson’s understanding of swordsmanship to be no weaker than that of an ordinary platinum-tier swordsman. With the system fusion, he could memorize and refine any knowledge that he did not understand.

At that moment, Sword Saint Reid had taught him the basics of swordsmanship. Even though that swordsmanship was very basic, Watson judged that it should be at gold-tier based on the large amount of experience in the Einherjar’s body. After Reid had taught him the corresponding knowledge, he immediately integrated it into his mind and raised it to peak gold-tier.

[Peak gold-tier fighting technique: Heart Sword]

.

[Ability: without the cooperation of the five senses, the blade will move according to the mind to break the speed limit.]

Usually, when a person wanted to strike, he would first use his eyes to determine the enemy’s position, listen to the calibration of his ears, and then control his arm to raise it. However, at that moment, Watson did not use the fused ability; he did not need to use his five senses to lock onto the enemy. Instead, he used his mind to determine the opponent’s position. He did not need to raise his arm either. His mind could control the blade of the sword to move it. The speed of his sword was more than ten times faster.

“Heart Sword, activate.”

When the fused fighting technique was activated, the wooden sword in Watson’s hand began to fly spontaneously. It drew a mysterious trajectory and surrounded Watson’s body. Since his hands were freed, Watson could use them elsewhere. He covered his mouth as he yawned. “Master, what do you think of the basic swordsmanship that I displayed?”

“It’s not bad.”

Although his words were calm, Reid was stunned. He had a feeling that Watson would learn his techniques quickly anyway. After all, it was not difficult, but he did not expect him to be that fast. Furthermore, Watson seemed to have improved it. He did not teach Watson how to control the swords without using his hands.

‘Is that kid deliberately challenging me? Antonio told me that Watson had a special talent. He could learn anything at once, and he could even master it and raise it to a higher level. He wanted me to try my best to teach some difficult techniques. I admit that Watson learns things very quickly, but it is too exaggerated for him to learn everything immediately. I think Antonio is afraid of losing my respect, so he deliberately made up such an excuse.’

Reid decided to verify if what Antonio said was true.

“Watson, your basic swordsmanship is not bad. It seems like you don’t have a foundation in swordsmanship. It’s a waste of time to continue teaching you the basics! I’m going to teach you a platinum-tier fighting technique that I learned when I was young. Its name is Light and Darkness Reincarnation Sword. If you can learn it within an hour, I’ll teach you the next move. If you can’t, you have to agree to one condition.”

“What condition?”

“Give up on practicing magic and other professions and devote yourself to the art of the sword.”

Reid’s eyes were burning as he voiced out his thoughts.

He knew Antonio wanted Watson to learn magic and swordsmanship at the same time and become an all-rounded talent. However, Reid thought it was a joke. A person’s energy was limited. That was the same for a genius. Even though he was a genius, he did not dare to waste his energy on anything other than swordsmanship. That was the way to reach the peak.

Previously, he did not tell Watson that because he felt that the boy was essentially Antonio’s disciple. However, he was genuinely moved by Watson’s talent. It was a sin to let a person with such talent waste his life.

“A person’s life is limited. Watson, you have to understand that training four different professions at the same time will only enrich your abilities, but it will not increase your strength! If you give up training in other professions, I want to save three times the energy to allow you to advance to the starlight tier or even a stronger tier. What do you think?”

“Master, I understand what you mean. I can agree to your request, but what if I can learn the sword technique you taught me in an hour?”

“Then just pretend that I did not say that.”

He thought that Watson would not be able to learn the technique in an hour. If he could, then it did not seem like it would take much energy to train in all four classes simultaneously.

“Observe. This time, I won’t use words to teach you. Instead, I’ll show you the technique once! You have to watch carefully and learn it well. Later, if there’s anything you don’t understand, just ask.”

As Reid spoke, he stretched his right hand outward. Two swords appeared in his hand. One was black, and the other was white. The two blades intertwined in a strange posture. The front of it was connected and twisted into a peculiar shape that looked like an ouroboros; the head that emitted white light and the pitch-black tail seemed to touch but would never be able to do that.

When the two blades intertwined, they disappeared from Reid’s palm. A clear boundary between black and white replaced them. Reid’s left palm was black, while his right palm was white.

Watson exclaimed in his heart. Memories from Reid’s youth were also contained in the World Transformation Mirror. He had the memory of that move. He knew that that move was a platinum-tier fighting technique. When unleashed, it could turn half the sky into day and render the other half night.

When Reid’s hand unleashed a platinum-tier fighting technique, it was so gentle and did not feel the slightest bit of power. That control was more profound than the water soldiers that Watson had trained in the floating city.

“Do you understand?”

While Watson was thinking about all sorts of things, Reid retracted his palm.

“Yes, Master, I’ve already learned it.”

“You’ve learned it? Then show me. ”

Reid did not believe Watson’s words. He did not know what Watson meant by learned. Even if he had imitated it, it would not be considered learning if he did not display it.

“Then I won’t stand on ceremony! Platinum-tier fighting technique, Light and Darkness Reincarnation Sword.”

Watson immediately released the move in the Einherjar Body’s memory. The entire training field was centered around him. Half of it turned into night and the other half into day. That scene attracted the attention of Samuel and the others who were discussing it in the distance.

The time had arrived.

“Light and Dark Reincarnation Sword—isn’t that Master’s most powerful move when he was young? How could Watson have learned it in such a short time?”

Samuel was puzzled; his face was filled with disbelief.

It was not only him, but the junior brothers beside him were also quite surprised.

“Master’s move requires a person to use both light and darkness elemental combat auras. Could Watson fulfill that condition?”

“Idiot! Watson must have fulfilled that condition. Otherwise, how could he have used it? I can’t believe that other than our master, there are also people who possess the talent for light and darkness combat aura.”

They envied and hated Watson.

Reid, who was in charge of teaching Watson, was also at a loss. Antonio had been truthful with him. The Light and Darkness Reincarnation Sword was one of his proudest moves. Even if it was only in the diamond tier, it was still pretty good. He did not expect Watson to learn it in less than an hour. His speed of learning had greatly exceeded his expectations.

“Master, why aren’t you speaking? Are you not satisfied with my Light and Darkness Reincarnation Sword technique? If you are satisfied, do I still need to give up my other training?” Watson scratched his head and asked.

Taking a deep breath, Reid said, “Watson, let me ask you, have you ever encountered a similar move before?”

“How should I put it? When I cleared the underground maze, the World Transformation Mirror acknowledged me as its master. I absorbed all the memories in the World Transformation Mirror, which also contained your memories, so I have mastered that move.”

“I see.”

Reid did not feel disappointed when he heard that. Instead, he heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that no one in the world could learn a platinum-tier fighting technique in a second. It was all thanks to the memories in Watson’s body.

“Perhaps I’ll teach you another sword technique next. It’s also a platinum-tier technique. Its name is Infinite Sword Slash! ”

Reid developed that move after he left the underground maze city. Its power was even greater than the Light and Darkness Reincarnation Sword technique. Furthermore, it did not require him to master both light and dark combat auras simultaneously. That was because it was not developed when he was young. Therefore, it was impossible for Watson to have mastered it.

“Watch; I will only demonstrate the technique once.”

Reid made a movement with his hand, and a light sword appeared in front of Watson. Then, the light sword rose into the air and turned into thousands of blades that were raining down on them. Every light sword was like a toothpick. If it was magnified countless times, it was like an actual infinite slash.

Watson had seen Christina perform that technique before, and it was different. Reid wanted to teach him, so the trajectory of each lightsaber was very slow, and during the process, the lightsaber was accompanied by a layer of clear and visible rules.

[Absolute Combo: any swordsmanship containing this rule will continue to attack. It will not stop unless the enemy is dead or exhausted.]

The core rules of the entire sword technique appeared in Watson’s mind. He instantly comprehended most of it. Then, he used the fusion system on the Infinite Sword Slash and the Light and Darkness Reincarnation Sword techniques that he had just learned.

[Congratulations on the successful fusion, Master. You have obtained a peak platinum-tier sword technique, the Sword of Eternal Reincarnation.]

“Watson, have you learned it? If you can’t do it, don’t force yourself.” Reid stared at Watson, pretending to be indifferent as he asked, “If you haven’t learned it, I can demonstrate it to you again.”

“No need, Master, I’ve already learned it.”

Watson raised his wooden sword and released the peak platinum-tier sword technique that he had just fused. “Sword of Eternal Reincarnation.”

The space around Watson was cut apart by something black and white. Clusters of black and white vortexes appeared. Black and white blades in the shape of the number eight also emerged from the vortexes. It was as if they were going to pierce the world.
