Chapter 292: Origin of the Law-Breaker

The 【Golden Honor Scroll】 shattered in his hand, turning into a golden light that rushed into Su Xiao's forehead.

A roaring sound echoed in Su Xiao's brain, as if muffled thunder were rumbling inside, and everything before his eyes turned pitch black.

Light gradually appeared in his vision; it was a sword floating in mid-air.

This sword was entirely golden, the same color as the 【Golden Honor Scroll】.

"Sword technique is primarily for killing; this is the path of slaughter. The consciousness must be unyielding, and the heart must be as firm as a rock."

An aged voice entered his ears, and Su Xiao saw some things in the haze.

A human figure was dancing with a sword in front of an old tree. The four seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter rotated; the old tree was sometimes lush with branches and leaves, sometimes withered and dry.

Su Xiao tried hard to see the figure dancing with the sword clearly. He didn't know how much time had passed, but the figure's face became increasingly clear.

It turned out that it was himself.

Su Xiao's eyes suddenly opened. He was sitting cross-legged on the bed, and Checking Zhan Long Shan was in his hand, he didn't know when he had gripped it.

"So, sword technique is so boundless."

Letting out a long sigh, Su Xiao's realization of sword technique was vastly different.

【"Sword Mastery" has been upgraded to "Sword Grandmaster."】

【Due to the difference in tiers, the sword technique level has changed.】

Su Xiao checked his sword technique ability.

【Sword Grandmaster: LV. 10 (Passive)】

Skill Effect: Increases attack power of sword-type weapons by 45%, and sword technique skills are significantly improved.

Rhythm of All Things (Advanced): This ability cannot be strengthened in the Reincarnation Paradise; it can only be realized by the Hunter himself.

The original Sword Mastery Lv. 14 had become Sword Grandmaster Lv. 10. Although the level had dropped by four, the attack power increase had actually strengthened by 5, which meant the potential of Sword Grandmaster was far greater than Sword Mastery.

The Rhythm of All Things had also been enhanced, growing from the original Intermediate level to Advanced.

The feeling of Su Xiao holding Checking Zhan Long Shan was vastly different from before; he could now do many things.

Picking up the pillow beside him, Su Xiao tossed it into mid-air and slashed at it with his sword.

The blade swept across the pillow, leaving a silver streak in mid-air.

Thud, the pillow fell to the ground. Looking closely, the pillow was completely undamaged.

Su Xiao didn't want to cut this pillow, so he sensed the rhythm of the pillow. The slash matched the rhythm of the pillow, and the sharp blade grazed the surface of the pillow, leaving it undamaged.

Cut what you want to cut, and don't cut what you don't want to cut.

No matter how sharp Checking Zhan Long Shan was, as long as Su Xiao didn't want to cut something, Checking Zhan Long Shan couldn't cut it.

Checking Zhan Long Shan was his weapon, cutting only what he wanted to cut.

Now, Su Xiao's sword technique had entered the hall of mastery. Sword Grandmaster gave him the possibility to go further, and he could continue to become stronger in the future.

As long as he constantly strengthened Sword Grandmaster, Su Xiao believed he could stand shoulder-to-shoulder with people like Mihawk, or even be stronger than them.

Holding the long blade horizontally in front of him, a smile appeared on Su Xiao's face. His sword technique had finally reached the extraordinary realm; cutting gold and iron was as easy as reaching into his pocket.

Checking Zhan Long Shan danced a sword flower in the air; now, Checking Zhan Long Shan was an extension of his arm.

Putting away the long blade, Su Xiao had other things to do. He had five days of stay time in the Reincarnation Paradise, which was a reward after the war victory.

Su Xiao picked up the Soul Crystal (Medium). To unlock the new ability of the Shadow of the Law-Breaker, he needed a Soul Crystal (Medium) and 5,000 Paradise Coins.

Choosing to unlock, Su Xiao's vision blurred, and he was teleported.

This made Su Xiao very puzzled. Why was he teleported for learning a skill? What was going on?

Looking around, this place was vaguely familiar; he seemed to have been here before.

This was a majestic hall that had existed for who knows how many years. The surroundings were dilapidated, and there were six piles of rubble in the hall.

The more Su Xiao looked at the surroundings, the more familiar he felt, and he tried hard to recall in his mind.

Suddenly, he thought of something. This seemed to be the hall where he inherited the Shadow of the Law-Breaker. Previously, this place was very majestic and tidy; why was it so dilapidated now?

He vaguely guessed a possibility: what he saw during the inheritance before might have been an illusion, and this was the true appearance of the hall.

Clatter.

One of the six piles of rubble scattered, and a blue human-shaped phantom floated out.

"Inheritor, you have finally grown a bit. Although you are not yet strong enough, you can barely withstand the enlightenment."

The blue phantom spoke with a booming voice. He couldn't see the specific appearance clearly. At the phantom's waist, Su Xiao saw a wide-bladed long sword. The long sword was a palm wide and over a meter long. Although it was just a phantom, its appearance was very magnificent, and it gave him a familiar feeling. This was a weapon devoured by the Supreme Blade!

"Who are you?"

Although Su Xiao didn't feel any danger, out of caution, he didn't get close.

"Hey~, we Shadows of the Law-Breaker were all like this when we were alive. Seeing anyone, we felt they were enemies and wanted to go up and slash them."

"As for who I am... hmm~, I can be considered your master. The Magic-Immune Constitution is not bad, right? I perfected that ability once."

The blue phantom chuckled. Although it was just a phantom, Su Xiao felt a heavy bloody stench from the other party.

Su Xiao was the inheritor of the Shadow of the Law-Breaker, otherwise, the other party wouldn't have such a good attitude.

Thinking of the Magic-Immune Constitution skill, Su Xiao remembered a name: Marwin Waltz.

"Are you Marwin Waltz?"

Su Xiao asked tentatively.

"Eh, you actually know my name. Not bad, inheritor, respecting your master..."

"Cough." Su Xiao coughed lightly and said, "Your name is written on the introduction of the Magic-Immune Constitution."

Marwin Waltz's face clearly stiffened.

"Even if it's written, I'm still your master... one of them."

Marwin Waltz stared at Su Xiao, making Su Xiao's scalp tingle. This guy's strength when he was alive must have been terrifying.

As for why Su Xiao knew the other party was dead... the six stone statues had said so during the previous inheritance; he vaguely remembered.

"Shadow of the Law-Breaker..."

Su Xiao made a contemplative gesture.

"What kind of grudge do we actually have with mages?"

This was something Su Xiao had always been curious about.

"This, because those mages destroy the structure of the world every time they cast spells. Although it's very small, it does exist. In the past, we were called Guardians of the Rules, and we were once glorious."

Marwin Waltz might have thought of those mages who were full of exploring the world but were actually destroying it. Mages could do anything for curiosity, no different from mad scientists.

"Our lineage of inheritance has existed for a long time, probably a few hundred years after mages appeared. I can't remember clearly."

"At first, those show-offs hunted us down, and later we hunted them down. In short, both sides didn't like each other and killed each other."

Marwin Waltz's choice of words surprised Su Xiao.

"Don't be so surprised looking at me. Now I am a pure energy body, and I understand the culture of most worlds. This kind of wording is to make it easier for you to understand. I can also do retro style, want to try?"

"When I'm bored, I enjoy Earth's film and television works. You Earthlings are geniuses in this regard."

Marwin Waltz was a murderous person when he was alive, but after death, he was slightly funny?

Su Xiao looked blankly at Marwin Waltz. He couldn't connect the person in front of him with a Law-Breaker holding a sharp blade.

Su Xiao had other questions. Now that he had finally met another Shadow of the Law-Breaker, he needed to ask.

"I know very well the ability of the Shadow of the Law-Breaker to deal with mages. How could such a powerful profession be nearly extinct, and now only I am left?"

Hearing Su Xiao's question, Marwin Waltz sighed.

"Because there are few of us."

"Few people?"

"Yes, the qualifications required to become a mage cannot be compared with the Shadow of the Law-Breaker. The base of mages is too large to be killed off. In the end, the six of us were besieged to death."

Su Xiao nodded and continued to ask: "How many mages besieged you?"

He wanted to ask how powerful the Shadow of the Law-Breaker could be, which was related to his future.

"How many enemies, let me think..."

Marwin Waltz made a thoughtful gesture.

"Probably... tens of thousands. At that time, thousands of Forbidden-level spells were bombarded down. We withstood the Forbidden spells and killed about thirty or forty thousand mages. In the end, we were powerless to fight and were bombarded to death by Forbidden spells."

Su Xiao was a bit blank. These six Shadows of the Law-Breaker... seemed, probably, apparently, very strong!
