There's Something Wrong With This Account

Chapter 413: 413, [Swordsmanship Aptitude: 8]
Outside the cave, Lu Xiaoyu and Xiao Long Bao earnestly performed their duty as guards.

They held longswords, expanding their divine senses, reminiscent of sensual little demons on patrol under the command of a king.

Meanwhile, at the entrance of the cave, The Sword Qi is Near was canoodling with the Sword Sheath.

With Lu Xun’s support, their relationship had considerably improved.

The Sword Sheath, which had previously insisted on “divorce,” had softened its attitude towards The Sword Qi is Near.

This greatly improved The Sword Qi is Near’s mood recently.

Despite its agreeing surface, it had come to accept its master’s Little Junior Brother.

At that moment, it was slowly inching towards the Sword Sheath, trying to snuggle up.

Soon, a mysterious aura emitted from the cave, catching even The Sword Qi is Near off guard.

Immediately after, the longswords in Xiao Long Bao and Lu Xiaoyu’s hands were unsheathed.

They stood on the ground, emitting waves of sword resonances.

The pair glanced towards the cave in astonishment, their mouths slightly agape, in awe.

“Has Purple Palace… had a breakthrough again?”

Having watched clips of Lu Xun’s previous breakthroughs in swordsmanship on the forum, they knew what was to come.

The phenomenon of heaven and earth began at that moment.

…

…

Inside the cave, a few seconds earlier, Lu Xun had exchanged some Designated Special Attribute Points in the Contribution Points Mall using his entire sum of twenty thousand contribution points.

Oh, the pain was suffocating!

The most despairing part was that the next increase in Swordsman Aptitude would cost forty thousand contribution points.

How many foreign dogs would he have to kill to gather all of it?!

Even if he were to dismantle crystals, he would need to dismantle eight standard altars to receive such a high reward of contribution points.

Despite the difficulty, Lu Xun had faith in his ability to achieve this feat.

After the increase, Lu Xun immediately closed his eyes.

He was used to the heavenly and earthly anomalies after adding Swordsman Aptitude and the subsequent unconsciousness.

Previously, he was refined by nature’s spiritual energy during this process, who knows what changes the now powerful Swordsman Aptitude Level 8 will bring?!

Generally speaking, this is peculiar, the normal breakthrough in swordsmanship should not cause such a grand scene.

He had deep insights into this since he did obtain considerable Stick Aptitude as the Explosive Temper Great Cane Hero.

He could only say that something about this life is indeed very special and this uniqueness causes such anomalies.

At first, he wondered if there’s something wrong with this account.

But as of now, all he wanted to say was — this account is really awesome!

What exactly causes this uniqueness, Lu Xun could not yet fully comprehend, however, the benefits were tangible and real!

However, this time, he did not seem to lose consciousness, but entered a mysterious state instead.

He felt as if something was calling to him.

After a while, it seemed like something was appraising him.

And in some places, it seemed like something was longing to rush towards him!

If he focused carefully, he could perceive these as streams of energy; a bit blurry, but truly real.

There were quite a few, and they were full of colors.

Lu Xun watched them from a god-like perspective, making a terrifying realization.

As these streams converged, looking downwards, they formed an image that resembled the map of the Heavenly Dust Continent!

“What on earth is this!” Lu Xun was greatly shocked.

…

…

A certain amount of time had passed since Lu Xun’s last breakthrough in swordsmanship.

The previous time he reached Swordsman Aptitude Level 7, the resulting heavenly phenomenon covered an area within a hundred miles.

Clouds descended from the sky into the world below, shrouding everything within a hundred miles in mist while the swords within this area resonated in submission.

This time, the range covered by the heavenly phenomenon expanded even further — it covered the entire West State!

Everywhere in West State, one sword after another unsheathed, followed by waves of sword resonances.

Many sword cultivator players felt a sense of familiarity as if they had seen the spectacle before.

“Hey, wasn’t this the same scene when Purple Palace had a breakthrough in swordsmanship?” A player quickly reacted.

This time the phenomenon appeared even more extraordinary!

After all, this is West State, where most sword cultivators reside. Most cultivators here practice the sword of much higher density compared to the Demon Sect.

Therefore, if you viewed from a high altitude it would seem quite spectacular.

— Swords unsheathed everywhere across the state!

Places like the Sword Tomb of various sects were shaking like an earthquake. The situation was somewhat chaotic.

They couldn’t help it; the Sword Tomb was full of Masterless Swords.

Unlike those owned by masters, producing humble resonances, they fearlessly screamed out their resonance.

The ringing was exceptionally loud! Their enthusiasm was extraordinarily high!

This spectacle dumbfounded the clueless players.

“If I’m not mistaken, isn’t Purple Palace in West State?” someone commented perplexedly.

“Yes, he was there some time ago, even leading some lucky players to kill ghosts in Frost Feather City.” another player chimed in.

“So, as expected, is Purple Palace having a breakthrough in swordsmanship?”

“Isn’t that obvious? Have you seen any NPC with such a grand phenomenon during a breakthrough? Who else can it be other than the only World Protagonist, Purple Palace from the game ‘Heavenly Dust’?”

“Awesome! Shout it out! Shout it out loud!”

“Fire the salute for the birth of the king!!!”

At the same time, many high-end players began to focus on another matter.

If they had powerful NPCs from their sect around them, they would observe whether the sword-type magical weapons of these sword cultivator NPCs had any reaction.

According to the previous pattern, the level of sword-type items influenced by each “Sword Dao breakthrough” in the Purple Palace was stronger each time.

According to the description of the Demon Sect disciples and Demon Sect players, it seemed that in the beginning, only magic artifacts were affected, followed by spiritual artifacts and the like.

Last time, it seemed like even the immortal sword was affected!

So, what about this time?

Before long, posts quickly appeared on the forum.

“Every Peak Master’s purple-level Immortal Sword in One Sword Mountain is emitting the sound of sword cries!”

“The same with Ten Thousand Sword Mountain, they are all crying out, hahaha, they are all crying out!”

And as many people knew, the strongest sword in West State was the “Divine Sword” left by Sword Mountain Elder.

Many players left messages on the forum, wanting to know the reaction of the “Divine Sword”.

At this moment, in One Sword Mountain, Ping Shanhai was visiting the outer sect disciples who had been injured during the foreign invasion.

Upon the appearance of the celestial anomalies, Ping Shanhai had a slight frown on his face and a faint surprise in his eyes.

Perhaps understanding something, he gradually relaxed his frown, and the surprise in his eyes completely disappeared, leaving only endless admiration.

And at this moment, the “Divine Sword” he was holding in his hand suddenly floated up.

It was not standing in the air, but lying horizontally.

Then, the sword body and the sheath of the “Divine Sword” slightly trembled!

Ping Shanhai raised his right hand and gently pat the “Divine Sword”.

Then, this legendary sword left by the Sword Mountain Elder returned to calm and was held by Ping Shanhai again.

This scene was recorded by the players of One Sword Mountain and immediately posted on the forum.

As soon as the video was posted, it exploded the forum.

Because the “Divine Sword” was too special, since even it had shown anomalies, it meant that all the swords in the entire West State had shown anomalies!

One person breaks through, and it could affect a whole state!?

Isn’t this too crazy?

The players only thought, “The world protagonist is awesome”, “The natural sword embryo is awesome”, while those veteran sword cultivators fell into silence.

Especially the Supreme Elders of One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain, they all had dealings with Yan Li, and some even saw Yan Li’s rise with their own eyes.

Therefore, they knew clearly that even if it was Yan Li, he would not be able to do this.

As a natural sword embryo, Yan Li at this age and realm, even if his Swordsman Cultivation had a breakthrough, could not cause such a terrifying and shocking stir!

Specifically, whether this kind of scenario had occurred in ancient times was unknown to everyone, but it certainly hadn’t happened since ancient times!

This Lu Xun might be more monstrous than we imagined!

He might not be the so-called ‘second Yan Li’, he might be an unprecedented existence in himself!

Actually, the development of the situation was far more absurd than they imagined.

Now the anomalies they saw and understood were only limited to the Heavenly Dust Continent faction.

But the reality was not so, even the foreign races hidden in West State, as long as they used swords, their swords also emitted sword cries!

However, the expressions they showed were not of submission, but…

– Fear!

Yes, it was fear!

The foreign races looked at each other in confusion, and for a while, they could not understand what was happening.

At the same time, they were also alert.

This was definitely not a good sign.

…

…

At the boundary of West State, at the Boundary Monument.

Dida, the Boundary Monument, was originally in a daze, muttering to itself, “Dida, Dida, Dida…”

It was like a cute little alarm clock.

It wasn’t until the nearby sword cries reached it that it was pulled out of its daze.

There was a big question mark in its small head.

“Why did it become like this?”

Without any time for it to think, another mutation suddenly occurred.

The blue currents it was suppressing became extraordinarily active at this moment, and a part of them even tried to leave here to move towards a certain place in the distance!

That was precisely where Lu Xun was.

“Huh? What’s going on, weren’t you guys always behaving?” Dida was very puzzled.

But the development of events seemed to be beyond its control.

It seemed to be suppressing these blue currents, but in fact, they had a relationship of mutual dependence.

They nourished the boundary monument, and the boundary monument was also protecting and gathering the currents.

At this moment, Dida was unable to control their whereabouts at all!

A small half of the purest part of these blue currents actually departed from its control, they left here and began to rush towards Lu Xun’s direction at a fast speed.

On their way, no one noticed their existence.

Even the great cultivators of West State didn’t notice anything unusual.

They were very special and mysterious.

–They were the Sword Fate of West State.
