Chapter 1328 The Opportunity to Become a Land Sword Immortal
You begin to compile and synthesize sword techniques from various schools, sorting through a vast sea of various sword techniques, some unique, some sharp, some intricate, some clumsy. You feel you're treading a difficult path. As you retreat, analyzing and absorbing these techniques, beginning to comprehend your own sword path, your companion, the old man, exclaims in amazement: "Your kendo aptitude isn't particularly high, but in terms of wisdom, perhaps you could be considered the best in the world." (You achieve a milestone: The Best in the World)
From August 759 to October 8, for the next two years, you barely moved a step, didn't fire a single sword strike. Yet, you could still sense the powerful aura of the Three-foot-long Qingfeng sword within your sheath, its aura growing sharper and sharper, ready to burst forth at any moment. Sometimes, it seemed absurd that you had achieved sword cultivation in the Dragon Ball world.
[And over the years, not only you, but you can also feel that the old man with you is rapidly recovering. Sometimes in your mind, a graceful sword immortal, who changes his costume every time he appears, will appear. Sometimes he plays the zither and the flute, sometimes he stands with his hands behind his back, looking up at the moon, sometimes he dances with a sword like an immortal, and sometimes he explains the way of the sword to you. He is also enlightening you in his own way.]
On October 762, 10, after two years of seclusion, without a single strike of the sword, you finally cultivated your own unique sword art, mastering a powerful sword technique that could pierce the heavens. At this moment, you finally understood Wang Yangming's words: "Enlightenment at Longchang, one step to sainthood. With this luminous heart, what else is there to say?" That very night, everyone in Nandu, including the swords of all the players, trembled, as if welcoming something.
[According to the old man who accompanies me, you have now entered the fifth level of swordsmanship. This is the beginning of the path of sword cultivation. The path of swordsmanship has no end. What you need to do next is to constantly challenge the strong and hone yourself. Once you break through a bottleneck, you can sheathe your sword again and cultivate your mind.]
[The sixth level can be considered a terrestrial immortal, at least at the level of a Super Saiyan.]
Even now, he is still on the path of the sword, climbing mountains and traveling far and wide. It is the so-called "climbing with your head down for sixty years, only to discover a lamp on the summit of Kunlun Mountain." A lamp, three more watches, a night of wind and rain, and the dragons can't sleep.
You silently memorized this sentence. It sounded impressive, so you could easily recite it to the others later. You also thought what the old man said made sense. We're all the protagonists, so why can't you become a sword immortal just because Sun Wukong can become a Super Saiyan?
[Then, just as you expected, the system also released a task at the right time, the task name is "Worship the Sword."]
The mission requires you to challenge the most powerful masters in this dimension, including but not limited to cosmic masters. This makes you a little nervous. Is this serious? Don't look at Son Goku as a fool at this moment. The Dragon Balls are the most powerful, capable of wiping out the existence of an entire universe at will. Even if you put aside the Omni-King, there's the God of Destruction, who can destroy a planet in two seconds. Frieza, Cell, Buu, and the various forms and hair colors of the Super Saiyans that followed are even more monstrous than the last.
【With your current strength, is it possible? 】
"You think it's possible, but not very likely. The only good thing is that you know almost everything about what's going to happen in this world, and you also possess the trait of Nemesis, which is perfect for a duel. At least before challenging Frieza, you shouldn't have any rivals. (Probably.)"
When you finished your retreat, you learned that nearly a year had passed since Raditz's attack. Goku and Raditz had both perished together, and had reached King Kai's planet through the Snake Path.
According to the book, it has glimpsed the fate of Son Goku, who will soon be resurrected through the Dragon Balls. The Saiyan Vegeta will follow him to Earth.
October 762, 10. According to the mission requirements, your first target is this world's Bull Demon King. This man is Son Goku's future father-in-law, known here as the Demon King. He is the second disciple of Master Roshi, a massive giant nearly four meters tall. He's considered one of the world's most powerful figures, along with Master Roshi, Crane Master, Tao Pai Pai, and Son Gohan. He owns a castle on Flaming Mountain.
In the anime, this guy, unfazed by the Red Ribbon Army's tank fire, destroyed tank after tank with his strength, demonstrating a power far beyond human power. But when he faced you, a brilliant azure light flashed, and the Bull Demon King fell to the ground with the sword. Everyone present was stunned.
[Although you only defeated a weak opponent, your swordsmanship has not only improved, but you have also gained a lot of insights into swordsmanship. This is the depth of the main quest. You have vaguely realized that it may not be long before your swordsmanship can reach a new level, and you can achieve the status of a land-based swordsman.]
The second challenge target is the Kame-sen-ryu. Kame-sen-ryu's leader, Kame-sen-ren, was once the world's number one martial artist and was known as the "God of Martial Arts." However, after the "Piccolo Great Demon King" arc, he completely retreated to the third tier, with a combat power of about 7.
Honestly, this feels a bit like "the kids in the south village bullying me because I'm old and weak," but this is the requirement of the mission. Your heart is cold and your hands are ruthless. You fight him politely and restrainedly, only to achieve a thrilling victory after the 20th move. Krillin, however, gives you a bit of a surprise. As the strongest Earthling, his combat power has already far surpassed his master's, but for you at this moment, it's still not enough. He was even defeated faster than Master Roshi.
On October 762, 10, as required by the mission, you visited the Crane Immortal School. Before you could even make a move, the Crane Immortals were defeated.
On November 762, 11, you ascended to the Celestial Temple above Karin Tower and challenged the gods of Earth. This time, you were defeated in one swift blow, even the legendary genius Namek couldn't withstand a single blow.
From November 762th to December 11th, 7, in the space of nearly two months, you challenged numerous renowned masters on Earth, including the yoga master Nanwu, who had participated in numerous martial arts tournaments, the powerful martial artist Tien Shinhan, who was currently training, and many others. For a time, you caused a sensation throughout the world.
On December 762, 12, relying on the Little Broken Book's detection, you found your last opponent on Earth in the northern region of the Earth: Tao Baibai, the world's number one killer.
[At this point, your opponent has been transformed into a robot, and his strength is extraordinary, but you still only need one move to defeat him (you have achieved the milestone: One Punch Man).]
Your status among the players has soared, reaching new heights. After your return, you not only assigned them numerous quests, but also taught them nearly every sword technique you had mastered. At the 24th Martial Arts Tournament, you even won second place.
On November 762, 11, everyone collected the Dragon Balls and resurrected Sun Wukong, and you challenged him at this time.
[As the most belligerent Saiyan, Son Goku naturally has no reason to refuse your request. In fact, he has been defeated by you many times and really wants to defeat you once.]
[At this point, his stats have reached a staggering 12000 combat power, equivalent to 600 Juhokun. After unleashing a 4x Kaio-ken, his stats reach 48000 combat power, the upper limit of the Saiyan arc's normal combat power. In the manga, these values are 8000 and 32000, respectively. It seems your butterfly effect is quite pronounced.]
Sun Wukong's strength is slightly stronger than you'd imagined. It seems his training with King Kai has been effective, but you've already seen through his weaknesses. As he unleashes a quadruple Kaio-ken, his strength leaping to 4 combat power, you seize the opportunity you've spotted and unleash a powerful sword. As the purple blade flashes, Sun Wukong is sent flying backwards, slamming to the ground. The outcome is decided.
"Xiao Sun, you still need to work hard! You waved the blood beads from your sword, sheathing it. Just now, you felt a subtle change within yourself, a fundamental improvement in your swordsmanship. This means you've already taken a half-step into the realm of a land-based sword immortal, waiting only for the right opportunity to sheathe your sword once more and cultivate your mind. This opportunity arrived the next day."
