Oliver narrowed his eyes as he saw Daniel moving in an unrecognizable pattern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oliver tightened his grip on his katana, readying himself for the next attack. The air between them grew thick with tension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He observed how his speed started to increase as he kept moving from one position to another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Interesting…'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with his enhanced senses, he was starting to get confused by Daniel's movements as Daniel sped up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he was not using his special eyes at the moment but normal vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, it started to become harder and harder to keep up with his movements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This technique is called [A Thousand Provisions]; it gives the opponent a taste of a thousand sword moves all instilled in a single strike,\" Daniel's voice came out as he moved faster and faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get ready to have a taste of my favorite sword art.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oliver's eyes wavered slightly. The name of the technique sent a shiver of excite down his spine, but he remained focused, every muscle in his body taut with anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel circled around Oliver, who was watching closer than ever. His steps were unordered and weird as he ran in circles around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'No… can't find the pattern at all.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oliver had a thoughtful look on his face as he could not find a specific pattern in Daniel's movement to exploit an opening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'It won't work like that.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He calmed down, relaxing his posture. He straightened his slightly hunched back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint smile tugged at the corner of Oliver's lips, a rare show of confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel, who was waiting to find a spot to attack, narrowed his eyes as he saw the sudden relaxed posture Oliver had taken. He was a bit confused about what the latter was doing in such a critical moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was then he heard Oliver say something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you know? I happen to have a footwork technique as well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel's brows furrowed when he heard that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'So this guy had been hiding a footwork technique too. Just how much is he holding back!?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oliver, on the other hand, looked at the running figure in circles as he took a stance as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was going to use a technique he had mastered a long time ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While incomplete, he had enough mastery over it to make up for it at the moment—at least for this duel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The memories of countless hours of training flashed through Oliver's mind, grounding him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel's frown deepened when he saw Oliver moving in a familiar foot pattern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'[Six Thoughtful Steps of the Spirits],' he was instantly able to recognize the familiar footwork given the number of techniques he had learned since he was able to walk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Why is he using that basic foot technique right now? Does he think he can best me with such a basic technique?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel observed deeply while maintaining his own movements and speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'My technique is clearly superior, so why… why is his figure turning distant?' Daniel pondered as his heart raced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world seemed to blur around Daniel as he struggled to keep his focus solely on Oliver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With every moment passing by, Oliver's figure turned into a blur until it finally vanished from the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'What!? Where did he go!?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He panicked, and his eyes darted around, trying to immediately search for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Where is he?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he thought that, a familiar voice echoed in his ears from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you looking for me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel heard the voice and did not hesitate; he swung his sword down, a tremendous force behind that strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He utilized all his power to execute the [Thousand Provisions] technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, contrary to his high expectations, what happened next shook him to the core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oliver did not dodge it but blocked his strike with his katana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The impact reverberated through the air, the sheer force of it making the ground beneath them tremble, spewing dust cloud all over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Crazy…\" His voice leaked out subconsciously, impressed by what he saw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The force behind that strike was extraordinary. It specifically brought out his body's inner strength in that move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oliver had to be at least thrice as strong as him physically to even dare to block that attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Just how strong are you…?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked into Oliver's calm eyes and felt his own eyes tremble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were as calm as water and as deep as an ocean. At this moment, Oliver truly felt like a mountain stretching towards the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I have to surpass him.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, even in the face of that realization, Daniel's resolve stood unshaken. He was going to do whatever it required to surpass that mountain reaching the heavens!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Arrrgh-!\" Daniel groaned and forced himself as he swung down the sword again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time Oliver did not delay any longer but instead directly punched Daniel in the stomach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kuh-!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel coughed hard as he was sent flying back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bam!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He crashed straight into the stone wall behind them before he fell down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oliver had won. However, at this moment, he was looking down at his wrist; it was trembling hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze trailed up to the fallen boy who had caused this, and a smile appeared on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Not bad.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had never felt like this. At that moment, his heart felt excited as he took Daniel's sword attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a feeling he had not felt since he had fought with the pair of siblings back then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'He has a lot of potential.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oliver made a note.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'If he is allowed to grow stronger, he could become quite useful in fighting against demons in the future. Perhaps Evelyn might not have to suffer as much as she did alone?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An array of possibilities opened up in his mind as he imagined such a future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for that to happen, they would need to survive the perpetual plane. Only then would they have a chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>___________________\u003C\u002Fp>",1021,"2026-06-10T06:20:28.087Z",1,"novelbin.me","633252d922e94d673ec008f56c6d966d34427f383ed90a8e7fd336ed51abe55e","obtaining-10x-rewards-reincarnated-into-a-novel--chapter-168","obtaining-10x-rewards-reincarnated-into-a-novel--chapter-166",316,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fobtaining-10x-rewards-reincarnated-into-a-novel--cover.jpg"]
