Chapter 448 Two-Times Sword Grandmaster!
Chapter 448 Two-Times Sword Grandmaster!
?
Despite going out every day to check out the Roleplayer Forum, neither the Mission Manager nor the Energy bar had anything new for Leo.
'That's not bad, but…'
More free relaxing time was always welcome. However, the value of precious things came from how scarce they were.
Now that Leo had spent 38 days back on Earth, this refreshing breather was quickly starting to lose its flavor.
Truly, greed always bared its fangs for more, but once its wish was granted, it quickly lost interest.
Of course, Leo hadn't reached that point yet. However, having started another school week today, he was starting to feel a little bored.
The main routine was one thing, but now he was running out of new stuff to try. Everything was already becoming too repetitive!
'Well…'
Thankfully, Leo just had the perfect thing to break out of that repetitiveness for today.
The exploration part was already to be skipped, what truly mattered was the task that he kept to the very end of every day.
'This is truly screwing with my perception.'
Though time on Earth had increased, it was still nothing but a speck compared to the years he spent inside the books he experienced.
Yet, it was already time for another advancement!
Compared to Murim which required even more grinding than the first book, Leo's Sword Path on Earth was just too luxurious.
How was Leo supposed to endure the arduous years of practice in future novels if this trend continued?
'This is still the fruit of that effort.'
In the end, though all of Leo's practice paths had cheat-level shortcuts, it was only possible because worked himself to the bone.
Rather than see it as a discouraging factor, it was better to view it as compensation for all the suffering that he had to endure elsewhere…
'After all, what truly matters is to get stronger here.'
While it was impressive to reach greater heights in other worlds, such momentary strength held no value since all of his alter egos' bodies became part of him.
It wasn't like he was nurturing game accounts that he could always hop back to later. Leo the Reader was the core that Arthur the Apex Swordsman and Baekho the Martial Arts Pillar worked for!
'Frost Refinement comes first.'
Although Leo couldn't wait for the breakthrough, he still decided to start with the other session. He needed to have an extremely clear and frosty mind in order not to waste all of that effort!
[ - Internal Energy: 1256/1256 (Scarlet Sky+Frost)
= Scarlet Sky Internal Energy: 1,002/1,002
= Frozen Scarlet Sky Internal Energy: 254/254 ]
Sword Breath might be the star of the show today, but Leo's overflowing Cold Energy had reached unprecedented heights.
Compared to the last time he met her, Leo now had enough confidence to take on Rose the crazy Pyrokinetic!
Meditating inside the Blast Freezer no longer felt suffocating as well! With one last refreshing circulation, Leo left the chiller and grabbed hold of the White Tiger.
While the Sword Breaker still had many useful uses, Leo wanted to pour all of his soul into this inheritance.
It couldn't be helped since he didn't have it with him the first time, but there was no chance that Leo would let it miss his second advancement to the High Grades!

The process took just as little time as it did in the Sword Garden. Back then, he had a pile of fresh elixirs, and now he had a life-and-pumping Progenitor Sword Fragment.
He just had to absorb the Sword Breath that was dispersed inside his body, so it didn't take much time. The number in front of Leo's eyes kept changing and changing till it reached the current level's limit.
The crystallization of Sword Breath was taking place and so was the body reconstruction. However…
'It feels much more simple.'
There was almost no pain to be felt. Leo had specifically chosen to practice next to the reserved food cabinet in case something happened, but he didn't feel much hunger either.
It was as if the Sword Spirit was telling Leo that there was nothing for it to reconstruct in his body aside from very few imperfections.
He had personally experienced the peak form that could be achieved after ongoing 9 body reconstructions, and it still couldn't reach the level of his current physical strength!
'It's not without effect, but it's barely visible.'

It took a little while for the whole process to complete. The personal book did indeed point out an increase of 0.01 points, but it was almost negligible.
What truly mattered was still the sharpness of a Grandmaster's Sword Breath!
Whether it was as a supplement to achieve peak lethality or to support his image as a Swordsman Roleplayer, Leo now had more to work with under his disposal.
'Still not enough to reach the Transcendent level but I'm closing in on Geochin.'
The Sword Breath's support didn't allow Leo to jump levels just yet, but who knew what it would be like once he reached the very peak?
'Now I just need to wait for whatever comes first.'
With this being the only possible advancement on the horizon, Leo could only wait for one more world-defining event on Earth or push it for the next time if True Reading sprung out on him.
Following the very smooth breakthrough, Leo still took a shower before going out for dinner and then back to bed.
Come the next day, Leo did his recurring dialy visit to the Coffee Shop since he got his first Dm, only to find...
'Were you waiting for me?'

MissionManager-WRC45: Your Initiation Mission has been assigned for next Wednesday. Make sure to thoroughly prepare everything you need.

As if waiting for his timely ascent, the long-awaited initiation mission was to be started on the third day after Leo's advancement!
