Chapter 179: Master! Please Accept This Disciple's Bow!
"While we have free time now, everyone, let's practice as much as possible." Liam looked at everyone present, a thought flashing in his mind.
Actually, after he had two disciples, he already had an idea.
Since teaching one person is teaching, teaching a group is naturally also teaching.
Everyone was a member of the Familia. Before his core trump cards were exposed, the rest could be taken out and shared.
"Everyone, I don't know if you are willing to learn my sword art."
Lili's eyes widened. She collected all the materials at the fastest speed, then came before Liam, looking at him with an expectant face.
"I want to learn, if it's really possible."
Apart from Lili, the others present also had the same thought.
Liam's strength was for all to see. At only Lv4, he could solo the thirty-seventh floor lord, Udaeus.
The members present, as long as they had had some contact with Liam, could know what this represented.
This was a true powerhouse with infinite potential!
Seeing that everyone present had an eager look, Liam decided not to keep them in suspense anymore.
Liam's strength was constantly growing. Even now, every minute and every second, even without fighting, he would always maintain the circulation of Selfless Sword Aura within his body.
Just like in a certain Demon Slayer anime, he had already entered a state of Total Concentration: Constant.
The reason he couldn't enter it before was purely because the power of the sword aura was too explosive.
It was like letting fire flow in the blood vessels. Fire could burn organic matter to produce ash to nourish the earth, and his sword aura was the same.
By adjusting his breathing to enhance his control over the sword aura in his body.
He condensed and transformed the life energy contained in his body's cells, such as stamina, into sword aura, and let the sword aura flow in his blood vessels, further tempering the energy in his blood.
And he transformed the life energy in these blood vessels into new sword aura, and nourished the practitioner himself through the circulation of blood.
This was the breathing method of Secret Sword Art: Constant. It could be called Secret Ghost Breathing Method, or Selfless Breathing Method.
"Because I am a relatively traditional person, if I really want to teach you swordsmanship, you must first acknowledge me as your master.
Secondly, it can only be exchanged within our Familia and cannot be passed on to outsiders..."
Before Liam could finish his words, the other Familia members in front of him had already prostrated themselves on the ground.
"Master! Please accept this disciple's bow!"
Liam had still underestimated the desire for power among the Familia members, especially with Liam being such an obvious positive example.
Mikoto kowtowed forcefully, and looked up at Liam with a red forehead. "Master Liam, even if I can only learn one-tenth of your strength, it will be enough to benefit me endlessly!"
Adventurers could increase their ability scores even just by training.
So when Liam was slaying monsters, the others could try to cultivate his breathing method.
"Alright, I'll first talk about my sword art. As everyone knows, my sword art is called Secret Sword Art. The origin of this name is:
A sword art produced through the struggle against the power of ghost gods and the ultimate control of weapons."
Liam raised his demonic hand and waved it in front of everyone.
"My hand is infected with a special disease. Although this demonic hand makes my fingers a bit deformed and occasionally brings pain.
But it has also given me new power.
Not having a demonic hand doesn't mean you can't use Secret Sword Art. It just means that the achievements you can reach in the future are unpredictable."
Even if Liam taught them the Secret Sword Art, without the enhancement of the Sword Soul template, they could at most release a weakened version of the skill.
Just like when Liam hadn't reached level 45 before, he still used the Secret Sword Art to forcibly release Illusion Sword Dance.
Although it was also very strong, it was completely incomparable to the real Illusion Sword Dance.
"Master! Please teach us."
Liam nodded. This time, he told everyone his understanding of the Secret Sword Art.
From the onset of the demonic hand to now, where it had almost no effect, Liam had also drawn on the power of this demonic hand.
And after learning the relevant skills of the Sword Soul template, he was also cultivating and optimizing his moves through his own understanding.
"First is to adjust your breathing rhythm, second is..."
Afterward, Liam circulated his Selfless Sword Aura through the bodies of his companions one by one, except for Wien and Ais.
Because they still had to travel, Liam directly completed one circulation in five minutes.
Without a doubt, this high-speed movement of external life energy in the blood vessels would be very painful.
These young women, one by one, were in so much pain that they were covered in sweat, their faces pale.
Lili was limp on the ground, "Liam, what on earth did you put in me? It hurts so much.
I feel like I've been killed a dozen times!"
"Your words have a really big ambiguity!"
Liam spread his hands helplessly, "This is just normal training. Because we are in the Dungeon, we can only use this crude method first to let you all get familiar with it."
Mainly, he wanted everyone to master the Secret Sword Art as soon as possible. This kind of internal energy infusion, like in wuxia novels, could indeed let them quickly experience what sword aura was.
After everyone had recovered their mobility, Liam immediately led everyone to continue forward.
Dungeon 25th Floor: Great Azure Waterfall
Liam and his group were not new to this kind of place, but for Wien, everything was very strange.
Wien and everyone else had already put on Salamander Wool. She proactively flapped her wings and came to a position in mid-air.
But she didn't fly far before stopping again. To conduct high-altitude reconnaissance, one needed sufficient altitude.
Currently, the tunnel where Liam and the others were was only a few meters high.
The monsters in the Dungeon, apart from emerging from the water, could also appear from the ground, ceiling, and walls.
Liam had long since taken out Sloth and Lust. A large amount of sword aura was slashed towards the appearing monsters.
Just as Wien was about to help, she saw Ryuu Lion pull her back.
"The current battle doesn't need our participation. We just need to maintain our guard and cultivate the Secret Sword Art as much as possible while Liam is fighting."
Ais looked at Wien, "The Secret Sword Art is divided into static cultivation and dynamic cultivation. That is, actual combat slaughter and internal circulation of sword aura.
Currently, we should try our best to cultivate in the manner of internal circulation of sword aura."
Wien nodded. Now she could also see that in front of Liam, the role she could play was not very big.
Liam and the others continued to advance.
In the process of advancing, a smell of blood came from a tunnel not far away.
It was the injured Revis. At this time, Revis had a severed arm, and her whole body was covered in blood.
"Help me!"
Revis was a golden-haired elf. Her team members were all Lv3 existences, so even on this floor, they could frequently fight and train here.
With a severed arm, she had basically bid farewell to her adventurer career.
Liam approached. To be honest, this elf, Revis, was quite handsome just by his appearance.
However, Liam and the other party didn't have much of a friendship, at most they knew each other's names.
Since he had already seen him, he naturally wouldn't leave him to die.
Within his ability, rescuing a dying adventurer would be very helpful for the positive influence of him and his Familia.
"Lili, take out a healing potion for treatment." "Yes!"
Out of a cautious attitude, Liam and everyone present would have a small backpack to store emergency medicine and survival supplies.
Of course, the contents inside were very small. They were emergency supplies.
This way, if everyone was separated due to special circumstances, they wouldn't fall into a desperate situation due to a lack of supplies.
The supplies Lili carried would naturally be used in the first order. This would not only reduce her burden, but also free up extra space for collecting dropped items.
After drinking the healing potion, Revis woke up not long after.
At this time, his wound had been bandaged by Lili. The severed arm and the wounds in other places had all been bandaged.
"Thank you, thank you so much for saving my life. Liam, and everyone. It's just that besides me, there's a group of companions who also need rescue."
At this time, at the location of Revis's severed arm, some bright red vines directly grew out from his body.
At a speed visible to the naked eye, they crawled out of the wound.
Liam frowned and looked at this scene. Everyone showed a shocked expression.
"This! It's bad. The healing potion just now actually accelerated the growth of this thing."
Liam placed his hand on Revis's wound, and then sent his Selfless Sword Aura in.
The essence of Selfless Sword Aura is life force, so when it got close to these vines, it instead gave these vines more nutrients.
"Why isn't it working?"
Liam frowned and looked at Revis's injury. Then he directly released his Selfless Sword Aura externally and cut off the vines outside the other's body.
But Revis immediately let out a painful cry.
Ryuu Lion pointed at Revis, "These vines are continuing to seize Revis's nutrients!"
Liam frowned and looked at this scene. This was the first time he had encountered such a tricky situation.
Unlike the plot in the original work, this time the monster in the tunnel that had caused Revis's injury did not appear.
At least it was not found within Liam's perception range.
One could only say that the intelligence level possessed by that monster was indeed not low.
"Revis, this vine in your body, I can't deal with it now. It seems to be alive. As long as I have the thought of cutting it, it will immediately transfer at high speed.
It has even directly parasitized your heart."
Beads of sweat appeared on Revis's forehead, "Mr. Liam, my companions have also been parasitized.
Now their life and death are unknown. I'm really begging you, please go and kill that monster.
It should be a special Moss Huge, capable of releasing a barrage of vine seeds.
As long as you are hit, you will be parasitized."
Revis described the appearance of the monster they had encountered, as well as its abilities.
Liam nodded, "I can only say I will try my best to find it. After all, this will also delay my time.
I will only search for six hours. If I can't find it in six hours, I will leave. Your current vital signs.
I estimate you can only last for a dozen or so hours."
Actually, in six hours, Liam could already have turned this floor over several times.
His speed was very swift.
"I'm really troubling you. Afterward, I will send all my belongings to the Hestia Familia's home base."
"Huh? There's no need for that. Settle down in Orario in the future. It's not bad to be our supplier or something.
If you really want to thank me, you should first survive. Then you can wait to be ruthlessly exploited by me."
Liam waved his hand and looked at everyone present.
"Ryuu, Wien, you two follow me. We'll search according to Revis's intelligence first.
Ais, you lead everyone to rest on the spot first, taking turns to be on guard and cultivate."
"Yes!"
The strength of both Ryuu and Ais was very good. Choosing Ryuu was purely because Ais had a naturally dazed personality.
And Ryuu's personality was relatively meticulous, her mind and intelligence were very good. In terms of search and rescue, her efficiency was clearly much higher than Ais's.
A Moss Huge, in the face of Ais, would only be slaughtered.
But with the other party's intelligence, it probably wouldn't be foolish enough to come up and send itself to its death.
Actually, there was another plan, which was to take Revis back to the surface for treatment first.
But Revis and his teammates were now also missing.
Then the only way was to find the monster that had attacked Revis. Only by killing that monster could this parasitic vine be removed.
The three of them, Liam's group, immediately began their search. Wien unfolded her wings and flew at a low altitude to barely keep up with Liam and Ryuu's pace.
Bloodstains appeared on the ground. Liam breathed a sigh of relief.
If there were bloodstains nearby, he thought he should be able to find the whereabouts of the adventurers soon.
Liam and his group quickly followed the bloodstains to a wide cave.
Several adventurers were placed on a small island in the middle of the river. One of them was even covered in moss and mud.
Ryuu looked at all this with a grave expression, "Liam, be careful. This monster's intelligence is clearly on par with a human's.
And did you see? The one in the middle is not a monster, but a human!"
Liam nodded. On the water surface around the restrained adventurers, some monsters had already surfaced.
"Wien, be careful. Ryuu, you and Wien stay here on standby. I'll be responsible for the attack and rescue."
After Liam finished speaking, he directly swung his weapon. A large amount of Selfless Sword Aura flew towards the distance.
Those monsters that rushed out of the water surface were directly slain by him with ease.
Then Liam directly jumped up, from the river bank towards the small island on the river.
And at this time, the ceiling broke open. A Moss Huge appeared, and a dense barrage of seed bullets flew towards Liam's position.
"BOOM!"
The destructive power of these seeds was very exaggerated. Each seed could create a bowl-sized crater in the surrounding rocks.
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"
The barrage not only flew towards Liam, but even covered Wien and Ryuu Lion behind Liam.
In the face of this large barrage, Liam directly changed direction in mid-air. Raging Dragon Slash was instantly released.
He only saw a dazzling golden light flash. The golden dragon head changed direction in the air and once again fell in front of Wien and Ryuu.
The dense seed barrage instantly submerged the three of them, Liam's group.
Compared to cutting open the barrage head-on to kill the other party, he was more worried about the safety of Wien and Ryuu behind him.
