Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate - Chapter 324 - 322: Swordsmanship Grandmaster
Chapter 324: Chapter 322: Swordsmanship Grandmaster
Just a moment ago.
Lin You’s performance was on par with the other lords, maybe even slightly inferior.
But in the blink of an eye.
His momentum suddenly surged, surpassing the other lords, and even his attacks became incredibly fierce.
This instantly left the lords below puzzled, their expressions turning to shock.
However, there was no chance for them to react.
On the stage, Lin You had already rushed to face the Warrior Heroic Spirit, swinging the Ice Soul Great Saber straight at the opponent’s face.
Where the saber reached, the temperature plummeted, covering everything with a layer of frost.
It was as if the entire space was about to freeze over.
“Clang!”
With a loud bang, the Warrior Heroic Spirit used the bow to block the strike, using the momentum to flip and retreat.
Effortlessly deflecting the attack, he created distance between himself and Lin You.
Simultaneously, he notched an arrow, drawing the bow to a full moon.
“Twang!”
The bowstring vibrated, and an arrow like an illusion shot out, locking onto Lin You’s throat.
The arrow wasn’t fast, but the air around it twisted strangely.
Lin You slightly shifted his body to the left, and the arrowhead followed, as if locked onto his movement.
Tracking Arrow!
Lin You was shocked.
As the arrow was about to hit, he forcibly twisted his body, rotating to the side to evade.
Whoosh!
The arrow brushed past his body, carrying a strong sense of tearing.
Then it circled in the air and came back at him again.
Another sound of something breaking the air came from behind him.
The Warrior Heroic Spirit unleashed a Piercing Strike, firing an even more terrifying arrow.
With the Tracking Arrow ahead and this one behind, they instantly sealed off all his escape routes.
This precise archery control was astonishing, attracting all the lords below.
Unexpectedly.
Though it seemed Lin You was in a life-threatening situation.
His figure suddenly blurred, turning into an afterimage that broke through the blockade. With a crisp “crack,” the two arrows intersected, breaking and dissipating in midair.
“So fast!”
“How did he do that??”
Watching Lin You transform into an afterimage on the stage, murmurs rose from below.
But they had no idea.
At that moment, Lin You was using the Power of Rule, activating the Demon Emperor Dragon’s Rapid Shadow Skill, boosting his speed to an incredibly exaggerated level.
This was one major use of the Divine Fragment.
Even if his basic strength couldn’t compare to the veteran lords.
He could still, through various skill combinations, perform at a level not inferior to, or even far exceeding, the veteran lords!
In just a breath’s time, Lin You evaded the arrows’ pursuit, closing the distance with the Warrior Heroic Spirit.
The Warrior Heroic Spirit, undeterred, jumped back again to widen the gap.
In mid-air, he flipped, drawing the bowstring back in a stance that seemed to pierce the sky, shooting a vast shower of arrows upwards.
Arrow Rain!
A group damage skill unique to archers.
Lin You had just landed when everything above him suddenly darkened, countless arrows plummeting down, covering the entire area where he stood.
If hit, it would be serious, even if he survived.
But…
Lin You’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Even at this moment, he was still in a Rapid Shadow state, a speed that mere range skills could not keep up with?
With a burst beneath his feet, he transformed into a sharp arrow and darted out of the Arrow Rain’s range.
The Warrior Heroic Spirit didn’t seem to expect his speed to be so fast, hesitating for a moment while drawing his bow.
And it was precisely this hesitation.
Lin You seized the opportunity, fiercely swinging the Ice Soul Great Saber in his hand.
“Puff!”
The sound of flesh being cleaved rang out.
The Warrior Heroic Spirit, still maintaining the action of drawing the bow, was instantly decapitated, dying on the spot!
[Congratulations, you have successfully passed the first trial.]
[You now have ten minutes to prepare. You may choose to continue the challenge or to give up directly.]
The notification fell, and the bow flew back to the center of the platform, waiting for the next challenger to appear.
Lin You took a deep breath and without wasting any time, chose to continue the challenge.
Since reaching Tier Eight, the Power of Rule within him has grown significantly stronger, no longer easily exhausted by simply using a few skills.
So very soon.
He followed the prompts to the platform on the Seventh Floor.
The people below were left standing in a daze, taking a moment to react.
“This… is it over?”
“What just happened?”
“It seemed like an Acceleration Skill, probably a Territory Skill of some sort.”
“What a monstrous Acceleration Skill!”
“Even I nearly couldn’t catch his movement just now, this is just too strong.”
“Hmph! No matter how fast it is, what’s the use? The later floors aren’t something that can be passed with just speed.”
“Exactly, that’s true.”
Those lords who had been talking about doing headstands in embarrassment spoke with a bit of guilt.
But indeed as they said.
The Warrior Spirits in the later floors had higher attributes with each level.
Moreover, their combat awareness became increasingly sharp.
Without real strength, relying on speed alone couldn’t win.
Even those veteran lords from various realms could barely reach the Eighth Floor.
To go further, only top-ranked lords like Wu Yong, or those with powerful special means, could succeed.
“Bang!”
At that moment, another loud collision sounded, interrupting the lords’ discussions.
When they looked up towards the source of the sound, they were stunned, each wearing an expression as if they had seen a ghost.
Seen above them on the Eighth Floor.
Lin You stowed away his Ice Soul Great Saber, tucking it at his waist.
And before him was a Copper Hammer fallen to the ground, alongside a dissolving Warrior Heroic Spirit.
This caused the pupils of everyone watching to sharply contract.
“What’s going on? Why did that Warrior Heroic Spirit suddenly disappear!?”
“What happened? What happened?”
“I don’t know, I was talking just now and didn’t pay attention.”
“Ending the combat in such a short time, isn’t this too much?”
“Something’s not right, this guy is a bit off!”
At this moment.
The Lords were finally shocked.
Initially thought Lin You was just some unknown guy from a small realm, but unexpectedly, he was so fierce.
In just over ten minutes, he caught up with the progress of other Lords and reached the same eighth floor as Cyan Phoenix and another veteran Lord.
He instantly attracted the attention of Lords in other directions, leading to much discussion.
Cyan Phoenix and that veteran Lord were old acquaintances whose names everyone could call, their strength naturally was unquestioned.
But Lin You was different.
Like he emerged from nowhere, suddenly breaking into the sight of all Lords, catching them off guard.
“Gulp…”
“That guy, could he really break through the eighth floor and reach the ninth floor like Wu Yong?”
“Not very likely, right? The eighth floor is an S-level Heroic Spirit.”
“By the way, where are those who were betting just now? Why aren’t they here?”
“Probably off looking for Acid Slime, haha.”
Laughter quickly spread across the crowd.
And from other directions on the platform.
The resting Cyan Phoenix and the veteran Lord were also looking over at Lin You, with expressions of seriousness.
Only by coming here and personally experiencing the combat awareness of those Warrior Heroic Spirits did they know how powerful they were.
To match their progress, one’s strength is clearly not weak.
Might even be a formidable enemy in their quest for the final reward.
It’s known.
Cyan Phoenix came here precisely for the final reward.
He would never allow anyone to ascend faster than him to claim the reward that should belong to him.
“Very well, let’s see who’ll clear the challenge first, shall we.”
After taking a deep look at Lin You in the distance, Cyan Phoenix stood up directly and quickly walked to the center of the platform, commencing the challenge of the eighth floor.
The veteran Lord on the eighth floor was not much slower, and soon also started his challenge.
As for Lin You, he took two minutes to rest and recover the Power of Rule.
When he finished resting and stood up, Cyan Phoenix’s battle had already reached a fever pitch.
Looking around, the entire platform was ablaze with flames and explosions constantly going off.
With his body surrounded by flames, Cyan Phoenix was in a frantic fight with the Warrior Heroic Spirit across from him, maneuvering left and right.
It seemed that soon he would break through the eighth floor and reach the ninth.
I need to speed up a little.
Thinking thus.
Lin You withdrew his gaze and also joined the challenge of the eighth floor.
His opponent on the eighth floor.
Was an Agility-type Heroic Spirit wielding dual blades with attributes reaching S-level.
However, it was just countered by his slowing passive ability.
After probing around the platform for a few minutes, he finally seized the opportunity and successfully slew it.
Like Cyan Phoenix, he ascended to the ninth floor without much injury.
In contrast.
The veteran Lord who ascended with them was much more miserable.
Though he also reached the ninth floor, he was covered in wounds and it was nearly impossible to recover to his peak state within the 10-minute preparation time.
So after much hesitation, he unwillingly departed, abandoning the challenge.
Instantly, only Lin You and Cyan Phoenix remained at the uppermost level, the only two besides Wu Yong who could reach this tier.
They immediately became the focus of the entire scene, leading Lords to discuss continuously, speculating which of them could clear the highest level.
Among the crowd.
Wu Yong, who was recovering, coldly watched Lin You, seated on the platform recovering.
Just a moment ago, he was directly knocked off that platform.
He wanted to see if this Lin You could clear the obstacle he couldn’t.
“Wu Yong, do you think that guy can get through?”
At this moment, inquiries from a few companions reached him.
Like everyone else, they were curiously sizing up Lin You on the platform.
“How should I know.”
Wu Yong coldly snorted, ignoring them.
Yet his gaze was firmly fixed on the platform direction, watching Lin You’s every move.
After a while.
Lin You and Cyan Phoenix finally finished resting, almost simultaneously rose and walked to the center of the platform.
The Plant Type was good in this regard.
High constitution and strong recovery ability, not needing ten minutes to recover to peak state, causing Cyan Phoenix on the other side to frown involuntarily.
However.
He did not pause, and alongside Lin You, picked up the fallen weapons on their respective platforms.
Soon after, a flash of light.
Their respective opponents gradually appeared opposite them, each gripping that weapon.
[Name: Warrior Heroic Spirit (Leader)]
[Race: Undead]
[Level: Tier Eight (SS-level)]
[Power: 2400 (+2160)]
[Constitution: 2400 (+2160)]

Like Wu Yong.
Appearing in front of Lin You was a sword-wielding SS-level Heroic Spirit.
Moreover, even the description in the attributes changed accordingly.
One glance revealed its extraordinariness.
What surprised Lin You the most was.
Just as he was observing the attributes, that Warrior Heroic Spirit actually spoke!
