Chapter 232: What Powerful Spiritual Pressure!
Liam stood up, "Lady Hestia, please update my ability scores for me." "Okay, no problem at all!"
Hestia stood up happily. By updating Liam's ability scores, she could see his back without his shirt on.
She could openly look at Liam's abs, serratus anterior, adonis belt, latissimus dorsi...
Just thinking about it, Hestia felt like she was about to drool.
No, she had to be a little more reserved. She absolutely could not let Liam discover her flaw.
Liam felt the gaze on his back was a bit scorching, so he chose to block this stalker-like gaze.
Afterward, he felt blood fall on his back. From the corner of his eye, he saw the light blooming on his back.
"Liam, congratulations on advancing to Lv6! Now you have three development abilities to choose from.
Assault; 2. Combo Attack; 3. Sword Control Art!"
A piece of parchment handed over by Hestia appeared in Liam's hand. He immediately chose the third one.
Of these three development abilities, Sword Control Art was undoubtedly the most compatible with him.
Whether it was Assault or Combo Attack, he could replace them by learning higher-level Sword Soul skills.
For example, before, when he was fighting with Ottar, it was because he had released a youth edition of Sky-Shattering Drawing Sword that he had completely defeated him.
If not for that, although he would still have won the battle with Ottar, he would have had to rely on the divine power effect of the God Cards.
For example, sacrificing two monsters and then releasing an infinite attack power at Ottar.
If he had really released that, Ottar would most likely have died completely. That did not conform to his expectations.
As for Slifer the Sky Dragon, its attack power and defense power increased with the number of cards in hand.
If he wanted to summon all three Divine Beasts, it was best for Slifer to appear last, and then use a magic card to replenish his hand to five or more cards.
And for The Winged Dragon of Ra, summoning it required lowering his own life force to one hundred points, which would make him too fragile.
So, in the end, Liam had only summoned Obelisk.
By the time Liam could freely modify some of the effects of the three Divine Beasts, these cards would become even more powerful.
After all, the current God Cards were just intelligent card-type magic sword life forms that he had summoned based on his memory and magic circuits.
A true god, its effects were definitely not just of this level.
After the adventurer level sublimation was completed, Liam picked up the new parchment and looked at it.
...
Liam Moon
Lv6
Strength: SSS:1199→I:0 | Endurance: SSS:1199→I:0 | Dexterity: SSS:1199→I:0 | Agility: SSS:1199→I:0 | Magic: SSS:1199→I:0
Development Ability: Sword Control Art (To condense a sword with qi, to control a sword with qi, to transform a sword with intent, thus proving the unity of man and sword)
Magic: Warlord's Fervor, Thunderflame Qi Sea
Skills: Sword Soul Power, Homicidal Intent Perception, Abnormal Resistance, Sword Saint's Power, Charm Flame Resistance
Ultimate Skill: Extreme Ghost Sword Art (Tempest Style)
Liam's eyes lit up when he saw this. This Sword Control Art was indeed not just a method of flying on an object, but also a means of attack that condensed a blade with intent, possessing both form and spirit!
As his own Sword Control Art continuously improved, it was even more possible to reach the realm of the unity of man and sword!
Awesome!
This was so much better than Combo Attack or Assault.
And his speculation was indeed correct. The battle with Ottar before had indeed catalyzed all his adventurer ability scores to their limits.
Under Ottar's powerful pressure, he had finally completed his advancement to Lv6.
Now Liam only felt his entire body was full of life force. It seemed that in the unseen, his lifespan had been greatly increased.
Its abundance was even more concentrated than when he had just advanced to Lv5.
It was even more than the lifespan provided by his own level awakening.
At that time, when Liam had completed his first awakening, he had only felt a vast power being applied to his own body.
And he had hardly felt any increase in his lifespan. Or perhaps at that time, his own perception was still unable to perceive the increase or decrease of his own lifespan.
Something like lifespan, only when one's own strength reached a certain realm could one clearly feel it.
To be precise, from a scientific point of view, lifespan can be seen as: the number of cell divisions from birth to death for each person.
Every time you stay up all night, every time you get injured, every time you get sick, every time blood, plasma, or bone marrow is drawn, it will cause your own cell division to decay.
The improvement of one's own realm will fundamentally change the genes, thereby increasing the number of cell divisions.
When one's own life level has evolved, the number of cell divisions naturally increases.
Lifespan refers to the theoretical limit of survival that can be achieved after maintaining a normal life. It is generally determined from birth.
Just like the lifespan of insects, from a mayfly of less than a day, or a termite queen of up to fifty years.
Of course, generally speaking, they were not as long as humans, who had an average lifespan of several decades.
And Liam's goal was obviously not just that. According to his current strength, a conservative estimate should be a lifespan of nearly a thousand years.
This was the life force after his Sword Soul template and adventurer level were superimposed.
However, his ambition was not just that. He wanted to complete three awakenings, and bring both his adventurer level and his Sword Soul template to their final limits!
While looking at the parchment, Liam opened his Sword Soul template in his mind.
「Liam Moon」
「Level: 65」
「Experience: 3%」
「Skills: Secret Ghost Sword Art, Backstep Cut, Flowing Stance, Flowing Stance: Rise, Flowing Stance: Pierce, Flowing Stance: Leap, Flowing Stance: Wild, Selfless Sword Aura, Auto Guard, Weapon Tempering, Overdrive, Drawing Sword, Thrusting Smash, Raging Dragon Slash, Thrusting Dragon-Slaying Slash, Illusion Sword Dance, Extreme Ghost Sword Art (Tempest Style), Extreme Ghost Sword Art (Iron-Slicing Style), Meteor Fall」
「SP: 200」
In his Sword Soul template, he had learned many skills. If he concentrated his attention on the skills, he could see the specific level, detailed introduction, and so on of the skills.
Liam had not yet obtained a single skill reset item, so he had to be careful and cherish every single point of SP.
The skills of level fifty and above, he had already upgraded them to their limits. For example, Extreme Ghost Sword Art (Tempest Style), he had upgraded it to level four, and now he could store a total of one hundred and ninety-two weapons.
Those below level fifty, especially those below level forty, he was not planning to put any more points into most of them.
According to his understanding of the Sword Soul template's skills, the SP consumed by future skills would become more and more, and their power would also become greater and greater.
And these low-level skills would become his transitional means when his various high-level skills were on cooldown.
With a thought, the Selfless Sword Domain, condensed from his Selfless Sword Aura, unfolded, and then Pride flew out from it.
The Selfless Sword Aura drilled into Pride, and this blade, like a fish swimming in water, began to rotate around Liam.
On this blade, he felt the sword aura flowing on the blade, and even the sword intent transformed from his spiritual power.
Although this sword intent was weak, it could directly harm the spirit and soul of others.
"Is this Sword Control Art?"
Liam was extremely satisfied.
Hestia stared at Liam curiously, "Liam! Is this Sword Control Art? What a magical power!"
"It's alright. It's just that now I can only control one flying sword at the same time. And the maladjustment caused by the level sublimation is not over yet."
Liam barely got up from the sofa. As he stepped on the ground, a deep footprint immediately appeared on the floor.
Then he walked to the door, and the entire door was taken down by him.
Cold sweat flowed from his forehead. Liam concealed his embarrassment and left the room.
"A level sublimation after all SSS ability scores is even more intense than the previous temporary upgrade plus Hedin's state magic enhancement!"
Liam's feet stepped in mid-air. The next moment, he had landed on the lawn of The Hearthfire Manor.
He began to meditate on this vast lawn, carefully comprehending the specific changes after the divine Falna upgrade. "You've leveled up?"
Ottar's voice came. His figure instantly appeared a few meters in front of Liam and stood still.
"Mmm, I was lucky. After getting a great feat, I just happened to be able to sublimate my level."
Ottar's eyes were a little complicated and uncertain. He hesitated for a long time before asking:
"Is it still all five ability scores at SSS grade? If it's inconvenient to answer, then forget it. My inquiry was a bit presumptuous."
"Yes, this time it's still all five at SSS grade. And because of you, it was a level sublimation after all ability scores had reached 1199."
"Ah? You're really making me so envious! Liam!"
Allen appeared on the side with a huff. At the same time, Hedin, Hogni, the Flaming Gold Four Warriors, and Bell also appeared.
Liam stood up. Subsequently, Pride appeared from his Selfless Sword Domain, and then began to wander around him.
This scene directly shocked the old subordinates of the Freya Familia. They had never expected this new ability of his.
And, this was not a simple control of a flying weapon. They could even feel a sharp feeling that could hurt the spirit from within this flying blade.
Bell's mouth was agape subconsciously, so shocked that he had forgotten to control his chin muscles.
"Mr. Liam, you've leveled up? What ability is this? I'm just Lv4!"
"This is called Sword Control Art. Ottar, shall we have a spar?"
Ottar nodded and took out the Beast Lord's Sword from his back.
Liam smiled, "Just right. I'll take this opportunity to test it in actual combat, to see how much I've grown."
Bell sighed in his heart, "So this is my idol's potential. Even if I chase desperately, it's very difficult to keep up with his footsteps."
Liam looked at everyone, "If you are interested, you can also join the spar. I don't mind.
Also, my specific ability score values, even if you don't ask, I will directly inform the Guild.
This opportunity to show off my Familia's strength, I naturally won't be low-key."
Unlike Hermes's Familia, Hermes himself, out of his own need to collect intelligence and his personality, his subordinates generally hid their adventurer levels.
And Liam's goal was different. He only wanted to improve his own strength and help Hestia strengthen the Familia.
Just by announcing his own ability scores, it was completely harmless.
Allen's face was not good, "Are you looking down on us? You've only just advanced to Lv6. Don't be too proud!"
Liam shook his head, "I'm just telling the truth. So let's start sparring now. All of you, come at me together!"
Hedin pushed up his glasses and immediately began to chant a spell.
The Flaming Gold Four Warriors immediately put on their helmets. Heith ran behind the crowd and began to chant a spell.
On the open lawn, these old Freya subordinates' entire bodies activated a dazzling magic circle.
Liam held Pride in his hand, and a series of streams of light flashed all over his body. Even the Selfless Markings appeared on his body.
He infused his own sword aura and sword intent into it, and then released it at the enemy.
"BOOM!"
In front of Liam, the light was distorted and then dimmed for a moment. An invisible but tangible pressure erupted.
This pressure was spiritual power, willpower, soul power, sword intent, and also spiritual pressure...
What powerful spiritual pressure!
Liam felt a bit emotional. If only someone could say that sentence.
A pity no one here had seen Bleach, nor did they understand this meme.
Ottar felt that it was tricky. He felt that his soul would be injured because of this.
Heith only felt that she was on the verge of drowning, unable to breathe. Her chanting was interrupted. She sat on the ground and almost fainted. Then she felt her pants were wet.
And so her little face immediately blushed with shame.
Bell only felt his whole body was stiff, it was difficult to move, his waist and back were difficult to straighten. A mental impact made him fall to the ground.
As for Hedin, Hogni, Allen, and these Lv6s, their movements just slowed down, and they became flustered.
Only Ottar felt that it was tricky, and then proactively attacked.
Liam threw Pride at Ottar. Pride, this eight-sided Han Jian, continuously released one after another, arrow-shaped sword auras in the air.
Ottar held the Beast Lord's Sword in front of him. And the more he blocked, the more he felt that something was wrong.
His spiritual power was actually being consumed!
Although the extent was small, it was indeed decreasing.
Liam's right hand once again took out Sloth. The flying Pride in the air turned a corner, and then thrust out one after another, sword auras at Ottar.
In the process of constantly defending, Ottar found that he actually felt a headache.
Although it was a physical attack, he felt as if his brain was being attacked from the inside.
Tricky, very tricky.
Ottar quickly approached Liam and slashed out a sword at the other party.
And Pride instantly retracted and collided with Ottar's attack.
"BOOM!"
The attacks of the two sides kicked up a shockwave. Ottar and Liam were simultaneously pushed back five steps.
"Is this Sword Control Art?"
Ottar looked at Liam. After seeing Liam nod, he said with an expressionless face.
"If I don't use Beastification, I can't beat you."
Liam looked at the other party and said some polite words. "You're too kind. You're still the strongest now."
"Liam, what on earth was that move just now?"
Allen came over excitedly, "I really want to know!"
"It's sword intent, also known as spiritual pressure. I infused my own spiritual power into the weapon and released it.
So your spirits and souls will all be oppressed by my spiritual pressure."
"Spiritual pressure?"
"Yes. If before, killing people with a look was a joke, then the current me can already kill a person with a look or with my mind."
Heith wrapped her coat around her waist. She glared fiercely at Liam. "My stomach hurts. I'm leaving first."
Liam smelled the smell of urine at this time. He pretended not to see it, and then said goodbye to the group.
Through this spar, Liam had a new understanding of himself.
Now, his adventurer level was Lv6, but his real strength was undoubtedly at the Lv7 level.
And his sword intent, he had a premonition in his heart: as long as he continued to train, his sword intent would in the future become the key to his second awakening as a Sword God, and even his third awakening.
