Chapter 149- Sword Tattoo
Dave scanned his surroundings and then he commanded the system, "Use the <Technique Comprehension Card>"
[Ding! <Technique Comprehension Card> is activated]
[You have 3 hours before it expires]
Dave didn't feel anything changed but he went into the first Stone Wall, and he read what was written on it. "Thunder Sword Technique". He saw who put this technique here and it was one of the ancestors of the White Tiger Empire.
Dave just stands near it then he suddenly feels his surroundings change. He appeared in the sky and suddenly saw an old man appear while he was swinging his sword. Every slash released thunder energy and it was smooth and fast.
He suddenly felt that he was put in an illusion where he can see how they perform their technique. He watches every move the old man made and with his photographic memory, he remembers them clearly, so he takes out his sword and then follows the movements of the old man.
Dave closes his eyes and then moves with the flow and because of the <Technique Comprehension Card>, he unconsciously moves based on his instinct and he doesn't realize that he is now performing the technique like he is the creator of it.
After 1 minute, Dave opened his eyes and saw that he was back in front of the stone wall, but he heard a notification from the system.
[Congratulations to the host for learning the sword technique-Thunder Sword Technique]
[Ding! The system detected a few flaws on it, and it was already fixed]
Dave smiled as he learned a technique in just 1 minute and even made it stronger. He can learn it easily by using his points, but he didn't want to spend his points right now.
He moves to the next tombstone and continues to repeat the process.
...….
After 30 minutes, Dave smiled as he already learned all the sword techniques in the core area except the sword technique of his mother. He learned a total of 20 sword techniques, so he was satisfied with that speed.
All of them were strong and he guessed that if someone tried to comprehend one of them, it would take a month or years before they learned it.
[Ding! Do you want to convert all of your newly acquired sword techniques into your Sword Dragon Technique to upgrade it?]
Dave knows that the sword technique he acquired in the Hall of technique is precious, but he plans to make a stronger sword technique.
"Yes"
He didn't care about having many sword techniques as he just wanted to make his Sword Dragon Technique evolve. He needed to comprehend many sword techniques to evolve it and the 20 sword techniques completed the requirements.
[Ding! Your Sword Dragon Technique is now upgradable at Saint Emperor]
[You gained a new skill under the Sword Dragon Technique]
[Thunder Blades]-you can create a thunder blade and it can lock on the target and it will not stop until it hits the target.
[Silent Slash]-releases a sword attack without a sound and is deadly to the enemy.
[Sword Deflection]-You can bounce back any attack that doesn't exceed the limit of this skill.
He got 3 new skills from that, and he knew that these 3 new skills are more precious than the 20-sword technique he got from the Hall of technique. This is the reason why quality is better than quantity.
The system filtered out what is useful for him, but he still needs to reach the Saint Emperor to level up this sword technique.
His sin points are now at 50 quadrillions and even he was shocked by its rapid increase. He knew that 5 to 6 days have already passed in the beast's world, but they keep supplying him with sin points.
That is the thing he loved in the beast's world, but he still needs 5 days to open a portal again. He cleared his thoughts as he went towards the last sword legacy here and the hardest one to comprehend.
He steps forward and faces the stone with the sword marking the legacy of his mother. He felt comfortable when he was near this stone. He touched the stone unconsciously then a huge light covered his body and Dave was shocked.
He saw a huge hand made of light hug his body and he didn't know what was happening. It was different from other tombstones, so he didn't know what to do.
[Ding! The system detects a strong power is infiltrating your body]
[Your level is insufficient to repel it]
[Ding! You gained a new sword technique- Sword of Calmness] (Requires reaching Immortal to Upgrade)
[...…]
Dave was stunned and even the system didn't know what to do. He can feel the energy entering his body, but he didn't feel pain, but he felt that this energy makes him stronger.
He suddenly saw a mark, or a tattoo suddenly appear on his right hand. It was a small white sword, and he felt tyrannical energy coming from the mark.
After 3 minutes, the light covering him disappears as he now can move his body. He saw that the stone marks disappear from the stone but the tattoo on his right hand is still there.
He didn't feel anything not good about the tattoo as his instinct is telling him that this thing is important to him.
"System, what is this mark on my right hand?" he asked the system as he was curious.
[Answering the host, your level is low right now to know the answer, but this tattoo upgraded you into a Sword King and you can borrow the power of this tattoo to strengthen your sword attacks.]
[This tattoo also helps you to easily comprehend any sword technique.]
Dave was stunned as he is now a Sword King. The level of a sword user is Sword Apprentice, Sword Master, Sword Grandmaster, Sword King, Sword Emperor, Sword Venerable, Sword Saint, or Sword God.
He didn't know why but he felt that this mark is a blessing. He didn't feel that this mark could harm his body as it was even beneficial to him.
He saw that he gained a new sword technique, and it cannot be combined with his Sword Dragon Technique.
[The Sword of Calmness is a higher sword technique than your current Sword Dragon Technique so they cannot be combined]
Dave was happy that he gained a stronger sword technique. He still cannot upgrade the Sword of Calmness until he reaches Immortal level. This sword technique is a slow attack but it restrains your target so they cannot move, and it is undetectable unless the target is a strong one.
His mother is really a sword genius and now he realized that the sword legacy she left here is for him. He only touched it, and he didn't need to comprehend it as it automatically belongs to him.
