Sharpening the Sword (48k)

Chapter 474: Sharpening the Sword (4.8k)

"Sure enough!"

Roy was immediately shocked and smiled happily.

Since Fan Xinglu has been integrated into the Type-Moon World, her power should have been seen through by the Root, and can be easily backed up and copied by the Root, whether it is martial arts, spells, or the craftsmanship of refining medicine and refining equipment.

And since Roy's goal is to obtain the power of controlling phases, then of course asking for the Star Fairy Art is the best choice!

Fan Xinglu mastered the ability to control phases by reaching the extreme in the Star Fairy Art, so Roy can naturally imitate Fan Xinglu's path to reach that level!

As for whether the Star Fairy Art is powerful or not, Roy doesn't really care.

Ninety-nine percent of his current strength is in melee combat. Even if the level of the spell is improved, the improvement in overall strength is very limited, and even in terms of convenience, he can do a lot of things with just Rune Runes now, so there is no need to force too much, and the Star Fairy Art itself is also very powerful and versatile, and it is not inferior to the spells of other systems.

Besides, this is only the first monthly rent. There will be the second and third monthly rents. He can get a lot of knowledge and skills from the source for free. Even if he wants to get other knowledge, there will be plenty of opportunities later.

"If I choose the Star Fairy Technique, can I directly master the power of controlling the phase?"

Roy calmed down and asked the source.

If he successfully mastered the phase, he could split into countless selves like Fan Xinglu. At that time, all selves can buff their group. Who knows how strong he can become!

Ever since he saw Fan Xinglu split himself in Jielong, he has been thinking about that move. No matter what, he must learn it.

"My previous agreement with you is that I will give you a piece of 'Knowledge at the level of Okita Souji' for every monthly rent."

"Whether it is a technique, alchemy, weapon refining, or martial arts, I can give you any knowledge you want, but no matter what knowledge it is, I will only give you the level of Okita Souji, and I will not give you all the knowledge in this department at once."

"If you choose Fan Xinglu's Star Fairy Art as your monthly rent, the knowledge you will get for that monthly rent will only be about 30% of all Fan Xinglu's Star Fairy Art knowledge. You need four monthly rents to get all the Star Fairy Art knowledge, and this does not include the realm of controlling the phase."

Roy frowned immediately, feeling a little unhappy.

But thinking back carefully, the agreement that Genyuan made with him at that time was indeed true.

Roy was somewhat disappointed. In other words, if he wanted to reach the same level as Fan Xinglu, he would have to spend at least four months to get all the Star Fairy Art knowledge, and then he would have to make a final breakthrough on this basis, breaking through the extreme realm with his own strength, and then he could reach the realm of controlling the phase.

This is a bit different from his imagination of unlocking the phase power with one click.

"Forget it, Fan Xinglu took many years to reach the realm, but I can reach it so easily. It is a blessing that many people can't wait for."

Roy sighed. Although this result is a pity, it is still acceptable.

At least it is much faster than studying alone.

Roy made up his mind and asked Genyuan for the first monthly rent, and got nearly 30% of Fan Xinglu's knowledge of star fairy arts.

He didn't see Genyuan do anything, and a large amount of knowledge poured into his mind out of thin air. Countless knowledge of star fairy arts was classified and presented in the memory module of his brain like bookshelves, allowing him to read and use it at will.

Roy patted his head to wipe away the slight tingling feeling, rubbed his chin with two fingers, and said thoughtfully.

"You said, can't you give me a crystal ball that stores the knowledge I want, so I can learn it by just touching it?"

"You can continue to fantasize."

Genyuan sent a cold sneer, and then left on his own, no matter how Roy called him, there was no response.

Roy sighed with regret on his face.

If he was given a crystal ball that stored knowledge, he could build an army by initiation. Not only the women in the family, but also those loyal subordinates could learn that knowledge with one click. Who in the world would be his opponent by then?

Unfortunately, Genyuan didn't give him any loopholes at all.

Roy had to give up this unrealistic idea.

After obtaining nearly 30% of Fan Xinglu's knowledge of star fairy arts, Roy sorted out the knowledge in his mind.

Although it is called Star Fairy Art, the techniques of this system are actually very similar to Taoist techniques. It not only includes the techniques of talismans, but also the techniques of scattering beans to create soldiers, Vajra Dharma Protectors, the Five Thunders Method, various escape techniques, etc. It is at least 60% to 70% similar to Taigong Wang's Taoist techniques, if not 80% to 90%.

However, when Roy uses Star Fairy Art, he does not need to connect to the thought disk to use the techniques like he does with Taoist techniques. In this respect, Star Fairy Art is much more convenient than Taoist techniques.

Fan Xinglu's overall technique level must be extremely high. After all, she has lived for more than a thousand years. Although there are differences in the system, it is probably enough to be compared with Taigong Wang. With the indescribable power of controlling the phase, she has the strength to compete for the crown technique level.

Roy stood in the Cangqi mansion, looking around the inexplicably deserted mansion, and couldn't help but sigh.

Rin and Orange were busy taking over several other base cities, Shiyu and Hayasaka went to Rikka, Chizuka and Ophelia were receiving training from Fan Xinglu in the Magic City, and the entire mansion was only Illya, Sera, and Lijielit. The huge mansion, which was originally very lively, became deserted at this time.

At this stage, the worlds of Xuezhan, Juhui, and Magic City that have been developed have now all formed a connection with the Type-Moon world, and their different rules have fallen into the source net. Only the Magic City world is relatively peculiar and still has research value. The other worlds have no value to the source. The reason for the connection is that Roy intends to connect the various worlds, exchange what they have, and create common prosperity for all worlds.

Now the source is also continuing to explore the outside world. This exploration can be radiating outward without direction, or it can be based on Roy's cognition to get the coordinates and set off in a fixed direction.

However, no new world has appeared yet, and Roy has no root mission to accept.

"Even so, I can't relax!"

Others were busy, and Roy felt that he couldn't be idle either.

He patted his cheeks, cheered up, entered the basement, went to the Magic City, and found Fan Xinglu who was training Ophelia and other girls.

"I'll join you too!"

Fan Xinglu looked surprised, and then laughed happily.

It was so precious for her to have a strong opponent to kill time. She separated several other phases of herself to teach Qianshu, Zhenyi and others.

The main body landed and floated silently, fighting with Roy.

"Xinglu, come and teach me my star fairy technique!"

Roy laughed loudly, formed seals with his hands, and the magic power in his body surged. In the blink of an eye, he blasted a rolling thunder and hit Fan Xinglu.

Fan Xinglu was surprised and looked at Roy with surprise.

She didn't remember teaching Roy the Star Fairy Art. It wasn't that she didn't want to teach him. In fact, she had already proposed that Roy learn the Star Fairy Art. It was just that Roy felt that time was limited and didn't think that the Star Fairy Art was something that he was anxious to learn.

At this moment, Roy was wielding a thunder method freely, and it was obvious that he was using her Star Fairy Art routine. She couldn't understand where he learned it from, but she was surprised. Fan Xinglu's reaction was not slow at all. In the blink of an eye, she used the same thunder method, and she was the first to hit Roy's thunder.

"You are still far away!"

Fan Xinglu snorted coldly, and then waved her hand casually. She didn't see her making any seals or singing any words, and she saw a series of gorgeous and luxurious magics blooming.

Fire, smoke, thunder sound... I don't know how many magics, in the blink of an eye, they blasted towards Roy.

Roy couldn't help but hissed when he saw this. The last time he fought with Fan Xinglu, he used the magic eye and took all of Fan Xinglu's magic in one breath and used it for his own benefit. He had never experienced how strong Fan Xinglu's magic skills were. Now he finally experienced it.

But this time, Roy didn't open the magic eye, but kept making seals and singing lyrics, using magic to fight back against magic.

As expected, he was beaten to a pulp.

Even though they had the same knowledge of star fairy magic, Roy was far inferior to Fan Xinglu in terms of casting speed and magic scale. He was suppressed and beaten throughout the whole process, and had no power to fight back.

"Boy, why do you want to be beaten today?"

Fan Xinglu fell to the ground, letting Roy take a breath, and asked with a strange look.

"I don't want to waste the monthly rent opportunity."

Roy calmed his breathing, healed his wounds, and smiled at Fan Xinglu.

Roy briefly explained and told Fan Xinglu about the deal he had made with the boss behind the scenes, Genyuan.

"You can get nearly 30% of my knowledge of star magic every time you pay monthly rent?"

Fan Xinglu was immediately furious.

"When did this damned Genyuan copy my knowledge? And let you learn quickly like this? Do you think it took me many years to reach my current level?"

Fan Xinglu was very angry with Genyuan, and felt quite unbalanced for Roy who could easily learn quickly.

But she couldn't do anything about Genyuan.

If her power of controlling phase was strong enough to rival the demon god of the Magic Forbidden Law, and she could tamper with the phase of the entire universe with a wave of her hand, she might be able to fight Genyuan.

But now, let's just go to bed.

"I want to get nearly 90% of your knowledge with only three monthly rent opportunities, and the remaining 10% can be mastered by learning from you!"

Roy told Fan Xinglu his plan.

Each monthly rent can get nearly 30% of knowledge, and after three monthly rents, you can get nearly 90% of knowledge. But if you have to spend the fourth monthly rent to learn the last 10%, it would be a waste no matter how you think about it.

Fortunately, Fan Xinglu is by his side. He can get nearly 90% of knowledge with only the first three monthly rents, and master the remaining 10% of Xingxianshu by learning from Fan Xinglu, and use the fourth monthly rent opportunity to learn other aspects of knowledge.

"Not only that, I am far from reaching my limits in swordsmanship, boxing, footwork, etc.!"

Roy's breath recovered, his injuries healed, and he stood up and smiled.

"I am not satisfied with my current strength, so please train me again!"

"Hahaha, I just like your masochistic energy!"

Fan Xinglu clapped his hands and laughed, and suddenly slapped him with a palm, like passing through flowers and willows, passing through Roy's block, and hitting him in the chest with a palm, knocking him out.

Roy didn't care, and jumped up with a carp, rushing towards Fan Xinglu.

Fan Xinglu had already reached a state of no further improvement in both magic and martial arts. He could control phases in magic and formless and rhythmless in martial arts. Without exception, he was far superior to Roy in all aspects.

Roy challenged Fan Xinglu with magic and martial arts. Although their basic performance was comparable, he could only be beaten back and forth by Fan Xinglu like a sandbag without adding buffs to himself.

Roy's unwillingness to admit defeat surged up, and he launched attacks on Fan Xinglu one after another. No matter how many times he was knocked away, he was not discouraged. No matter how many injuries he suffered, he would stand up as if nothing had happened, as if he would not give up until he achieved his goal.

Fan Xinglu looked at Roy who jumped up again and was unwilling to fall down, and his eyes showed strange colors.

Although he knew that this kid was very energetic, to put it nicely, it was determined, and to put it bluntly, it was stubborn and disobedient, but Fan Xinglu was still shocked by his energy.

"This kid, the ghost energy is strong enough, which is a good thing, but if he is swallowed by the ghost energy and turned into an evil ghost, it will be more trouble than gain..."

…………

Roy was completely immersed in training. He was beaten by Fan Xinglu every day during training. Every day, he was like a tumbler and refused to fall down. He didn't even give himself a chance to breathe.

In such high-intensity training, Roy's strength was also steadily increasing. The level of star fairy art and swordsmanship attainments were improving at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Unknowingly, a month passed and it was time to pay the second monthly rent.

After talking with Genyuan for a while, Roy realized that his star fairy art level had exceeded 30% and was heading towards 40%. With the help of the reverse moon magic eye, his learning speed in star fairy art was even faster than his progress in martial arts.

Roy asked Genyuan for the second monthly rent, and his star fairy art level reached nearly 70% of Fan Xinglu's.

Then, another month passed.

Roy successfully surpassed Fan Xinglu's attainment in Star Immortal Art by 70% through self-study. After asking for the third monthly rent, he successfully obtained all of Fan Xinglu's knowledge of Star Immortal Art.

Fan Xinglu was very unbalanced after knowing this. She was very angry all day and took the opportunity of training to grab Roy and beat him up.

It was easy to get knowledge, but it was difficult to break through the realm next.

What Roy had to do next was to deduce the Star Immortal Art to the extreme and use it to master the power of phase. This has exceeded the upper limit of the value of one monthly rent, and the source will not help easily.

It's not that he can't save up a few more monthly rents and ask the source for help after reaching the corresponding value, but the source's asking price is too high. It takes more than a hundred monthly rents before he is willing to help. It's unknown when it will take. Maybe he will reach that realm on his own by then.

He planned to break through on his own. Anyway, he had accumulated enough experience, and the breakthrough was a natural thing. He should use the monthly rent for other things. Good steel should be used on the blade.

In this way, another period of time passed.

It has been more than two months since Roy returned from Liuhua. Rin and Orange have returned from other base cities. The Niyue Consortium has been on the right track, but there is still no new task assigned.

Roy was also patient and did not seem to be in a hurry. He was immersed in the process of tempering himself.

On this day, Roy was still training in the Magic City.

However, his training target today was not Fan Xinglu.

On the huge wilderness, Fan Xinglu, Jinmu Qianshu, Zenyuan Zhenyi, and Ophelia stood aside, watching the two people fighting fiercely in the wilderness from a distance.

Rather than saying it was a fierce battle, it was better to say that one of them was being beaten unilaterally.

The surging waves swept silently across the wilderness. There was no sign of the wave, neither causing a strong wind nor sending out a shock wave. The surroundings were quiet, but wherever the wave went, the ground was broken and stones flew out.

"Even now, I still have to say that the difference in talent between people is the most despairing gap in the world!"

Zenyuan Zhenyi looked at the turbulent world and sighed bitterly.

She was born in the Zenyuan family, which attaches great importance to talent. No one understands the pain of talent gap better than her.

Jinmu Qianshu and Ophelia next to her also agreed.

Fan Xinglu did not comment.

Not far away, one of the parties fighting was Roy.

However, he did not fight back at all at this moment. He just tried his best to protect his whole body with compressed star power, and was blown away by the wave again and again.

Above his head, there was a magic circle shaped like a rudder floating by itself.

After being hit by the wave and thrown away several times, the magic circle above his head suddenly made a clear and melodious sound like a morning bell and evening drum, and turned a little.

"It turned again, is this the fourth time?"

The woman who fought with Roy silently counted in her heart.

She had short golden hair and wore a magic defense team uniform. She looked calm and had a steady temperament. She stood there without moving. She just pointed casually, and the inexplicable wave spread out, shattering everything around.

Even if Roy defended with all his strength, he was still blown away by the wave, and even the compressed star force shell with extremely strong defense was shaking violently.

"How is it?"

The woman asked Roy.

Roy closed his eyes and felt it for a while, and opened his eyes again after a while, with helplessness in his eyes.

"Sorry, it seems that it has gone astray. Please accompany me for a while, Tianhua."4
