Chapter 203 Yin-Yang Laws: Meeting an Anceint Asura Clan Member
Arthur scrutinized the rewards he had just received, and the Spirit Nurturing Artifact caught his attention. Aixen explained its significance.
"That is a Spirit Nurturing Artifact, Master. It can help a sword nurture its spirit and even strengthen the spirit of a sword that has already awakened it."
Arthur nodded, realizing the potential of such a treasure. He already had a sword in mind for this nurturing process.
Next was a map, depicting an unfamiliar terrain. Arthur decided to consult the "old fellow" later, referring to the guardian who oversaw the trials.
The final item was a secret manual — the [Ultimate Yin-Yang Reversal Technique]. The note beneath it indicated it was only half of the original technique and came with a warning: "Practice with caution."
"Hmm, an incomplete technique manual?" Arthur mused, considering the possibilities and challenges that might come with mastering such a technique.
"It's an incomplete Manual with only the first half. So this Manual contains fifty percent of the technique."
'Hmm, I wonder if that old fellow has the second half?' Arthur wondered and then he looked at the description of what the technique was all about.
"So it can help me learn and master the Yin-Yang Laws," Arthur muttered as he recalled some information.
"Infinity gave birth to primal chaos, and primal chaos gave birth to the twins, named yin yang essence."
This yin yang essence was the basis of the world.
Yin and yang were the greatest source foundation of the world, where all of existence derived from.
The Yin Yang Laws could be considered relatively high-level Laws within the universe.
Although you could say they are beneath the nine supreme laws.
"But there is something about the Yin Yang Laws that make them unique, and if mastered, they can even match a Supreme Law," Arthur was surprised at this conjecture.
"If that is the case, then this technique may not be something from this low-level world. It can't be."
Arthur tried to look for an indication of the manual's rank but saw none.
"An unranked technique?"
At this time, Arthur was unsure if the guardian would have the complete technique due to its high level.
As Arthur pondered his rewards, he was suddenly enveloped in a mysterious energy and transported to a different realm.
The environment shifted dramatically, and he found himself surrounded by a blood-red mist and an overwhelming sense of killing intent.
"This must be the third round," Arthur surmised, prepared for the unexpected challenges that awaited him.
In this eerie terrain, he heard footsteps and accompanying it was a pressing and oppressive feeling.
"Slaughter Concept," Arthur muttered.
It became clear what kind of opponent he will be facing.
"Someone who goes straight for the kill," Arthur thought.
Such was the temperament of those who usually learn slaughter intent.
They are very merciless in battle and go straight for the enemy's head without qualms.
When the figure of his opponent was finally revealed, Arthur was surprised as he almost blurted out a name.
'Zaith Asura?!'
'Wait a minute, it isn't him. But why do they look exactly alike?!'
'If that is so, then this person...'
"You are someone from the Asura Clan?"
*Clink!*
The opponent stopped and stabbed his weapon on the ground. Which was a scythe that was connected to a chain at its handle.
"Someone knows of my clan at this current time, I see. But I am not interested in talking, so let's fight!"
*Boom!*
Arthur swiftly dodged an attack.
'Right, another battle maniac. The Asura clan members I know are more sensible... I think,' Arthur thought as he recalled Zaith's demeanor.
However, this was not the same person but an illusion with memories from ancient times, representing the Asura clan.
The opponent, with red hair and eyes, wielded the Slaughter Concept and emanated an overbearing blade aura.
Arthur drew his sword, and the battle commenced in a blur of sword strikes and intense energy.
As the guardian watched the battle, Arthur appeared to have found himself in a challenging situation, struggling against the relentless attacks.
"Aha! You finally met a match, boy!" The Guardian laughed, feeling like he was the one winning the battle.
But then he stopped, "Hmm, so far, no one had been able to push this boy to use his Martial Spirit, maybe this is it?' he thought.
Arthur's opponent's mastery of the Slaughter Concept made every move lethal.
As the fight intensified, Arthur tapped into his own sword concept, which he had fully mastered and recently fused with the ice concept.
"Ice-Sword Concept!"
The battlefield transformed into a dazzling display of swordplay and elemental forces.
With every slash of his sword, Arthur released a chilling cold sword intent which condensed into many tiny flying swords.
"Sword Control Technique."
After these tiny ice-sword condensed intents were released, he controlled them to create an array and attacked.
The opponent, momentarily stunned, witnessed Arthur's unleashed power. In a swift turn of events, Arthur gained the upper hand.
"You are..."
*Bang!*
"...quite strong," said the man. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"I guess I can't hold back any longer," he continued and was about to use his full strength when he was stopped by a sentence.
"I know someone from your clan," Arthur declared during a brief respite in the battle.
The opponent, surprised, halted their attacks. "My clan still exists in this era?"
His eyes were wide open, and even his cold killing intent vanished in an instant as Arthur's words reverberated in his ears.
"Are you messing with me?" He asked angrily.
"No, I am not," Arthur replied smoothly.
"How can my clan still be in this small world? My branch should have been annihilated long ago during the Apocalypse War Trials."
"Apocalypse War Trials?" Arthur asked.
"Ugh, I said too much. But don't lie to me."
Arthur went silent.
Again, he had heard of something important that they will not share.
'No worries, I will make that old man spill everything out when he begs me to take the inheritance,' Arthur swore.
"I am not lying; I indeed know someone from your clan. Some 16-year old young man whose name is Zaith Asura."
"What?! Impossible!"
