Violent Storm Sword

Noah stared at the furious Rax who circulated his Essence regardless of the precautions that would be brought upon him. Just when the latter thought the former would withdraw, Noah instead dashed forward.

His body turned into a blur as he reached towards Rax. He planned to take care of the man before he could get used to his increase in strength.

But his plans were dashed as the latter immediately came to his senses and punched forward when Noah got close. Berserker's Fist!

Noah immediately retreated with his Flicker. Dodging to the side before kicking at Rax's legs. Dragon Sweep! The man could do nothing against the sudden attack. His body fell to the side allowing his opponent to slash down at him with his Gravity Force powered sword. Vertical Cleave!

Rax panicked and swiftly crossed his arms to defend against the powerful attack that headed at him.

The ground caved in, unable to handle the strength released from the attack. But the man stood up soon spitting out a bit of blood before smiling crazily, revealing his bloodied teeth. "You're a real pain in the ass, brat!"

Noah stared at Rax with narrowed eyes, he didn't expect much from that attack earlier, and the opponent was much stronger than him. Worse, the man had stopped limiting himself, giving no care to the chaotic Essence that ravaged his insides. 'The best solution here is to tire him out, but I don't think my body can last that long.'

Unfortunately the enemy didn't give him enough time to think. Rax rushed forward with his fist clenched.

Noah tensed expecting the usual Air cannon, yet the former changed his plans. His fists unclenched to form a palm which he slapped out. Berserker's Palm: Air Sweep! Unlike the usual concentrated cannon-like attack, the one he executed seemed more scattered and covered a much wider area. Noah could not do much against the attack since his Flicker wasn't that advanced to teleport across such a large area, so he could only execute his Dragon Guard at the expense of some strained muscles.

The defense didn't do much. Noah hadn't spent much time practicing the Azure Dragon Body Building Exercises so his current body couldn't handle much of the technique. Still, it was better than nothing and although the attack still breached his defense and affected him, pain was no new concept to the transmigrator.

He simply gritted his teeth and dashed forward once more. At this point, his body would soon lack the stamina to keep on executing the Azure Dragon Art so there was no need to conserve his Essence either. Rax welcomed him with a battle stance as the man had used up a large amount of his Essence. Although he was raging inside at the death of his brother, he wasn't dumb enough to waste all his energy against a cunning and slippery opponent.

Noah saw this and decided to use his trump card. His Essence surged out to coat his arms and sword as he regulated his breathing. In the next moment, he utilized the skill he had been taught by Luke. His first Battle Art learned in this new world. Violent Storm Sword: First Form, Gale Sword!

Immediately, he felt the Essence coating him circulate within his arm boosting him significantly. His sword slashed out with a furious light as he attacked Rax.

In that second, Noah had turned into a blur as he slashed 4 times! And he kept those attacks for 3 seconds! A total of 12 slashes within three seconds!

The burly Rax paused in shock as he tried to guard against the barrage of attacks but was helpless, he had wasted too much of his Essence and accumulated even more internal wounds. He could do nothing as the swords buried themselves into his body, cutting away his right arm. "RAAAAHHH!!!" His mind immediately did the most reasonable thing and attacked with all his power as a last ditch effort to preserve his life!

But the transmigrator seemed to have guessed such a thing would happen. After all he had seen many people doing such in his past life. He executed Flicker while using his Silver Dragon Eyes to notice the flaw in Rax's last moment attack and barely deflect it, but not without suffering more injuries. Noah, though, didn't care about that. His muscles tensed as he attacked once more. Azure Dragon Art: Vertical Cleave.

With an upward slash, Rax's left hand disconnected with his body, leaving the man armless.

The assailant's face scrunched up in fear. "Please, let me leave. I'll do anything."

Noah's movements didn't pause though, those words had been heard by him too many times in the past. "Not interested." His sword slashed out once more.

Silence finally dawned upon the forest. Noah crouched and leaned upon a tree regulating his breath. His lips were sealed shut as he dealt with the pain that came as an aftermath of using the Azure Dragon Art with such a weak body. He could only hope that his new body would adapt to the Martial art as soon as possible. Luckily the fight just now had managed to elevate him to Level 6 of the Novice Stage.

For now, he waited in the quiet forest for his broken body to heal enough for him to move. So he did. His clear and indifferent eyes stayed on the corpses as he urged his remaining Essence to heal his body.

In the end, the wait lasted for about 5 hours. It was only then that the transmigrator found enough strength in him to move.

He didn't even bother to clear up the bodies as he left the area. It was already dark so he would find a cave to rest in then move onwards the following morning.

As for his plans for the future? He had already thought of this. At the moment his cultivation speed was quite fast but this was because of his Twin Battlesouls. In the future, he would lag behind because he didn't have the guidance of a proper Cultivation manual. This was something that helped a Battlesoul master guide Essence into his body to train with better efficiency than outright absorption.

It was something so precious, Luke couldn't casually give it out even as one of the high leveled members of his Norton House. Because of this, Noah planned to become a Mercenary and earn money to buy one for himself.

The transmigrator sighed as he thought of his future.
