Twenty minutes later.
Duan Yilin and his companions returned to the hotel.
This hotel was called Ankang Grand Hotel. The level could only be considered decent. In Lening City, it wasn't well-known and didn't belong to Yonghui Financial Group. One major shareholder behind it was managent from the Kangbo Biological Company Headquarters, so officially, this hotel had no ties with Yonghui Financial Group, but in reality, they had considerable influence.
And Duan Yilin's group, including the previous Wolf Fang Security Company team, all stayed here upon arriving in Lening City.
Su Xin followed them to the hotel, confird their room, and instead of acting against them, he teleported away.
He believed the other party would surely send reinforcents, and he could choose to passively et them or actively strike.
The initiative was in his hands.
Of course, if he killed many of their people, and they acted as if nothing happened without seeking revenge, he had nothing to say.
Back ho.
Su Xin noticed an ambulance downstairs, seemingly providing urgent care to the injured below.
"Sorry, but when your family consistently behaves so terribly, you should face so consequences."
Standing by the balcony, Su Xin pulled the curtain slightly aside, watching the ambulance drive out of the neighborhood, thought to himself.
He closed the curtain.
As the noise outside gradually quieted.
Su Xin returned to the living room, opened the task panel to check the progress.
[Swordsmanship Maniac: Execute a hundred serious slashes with a knife to understand the true essence of swordsmanship.]
[Current progress: 21/100.]
"This progress is not bad."
Su Xin nodded with satisfaction.
Before twelve o'clock, his task progress totaled only nine points; even if counting only after returning ho, it took over four hours.
From around twelve-thirty to three-thirty, a total of three hours, the task progress increased by 12 points.
It seed the difference wasn't significant.
But essentially, the forr averaged two points per hour, the latter four points per hour, doubling efficiency.
Of course, this probably also had to do with becoming more skilled in swordsmanship, but prior techniques were indeed effective.
Su Xin picked up the wooden sword again, spent a few minutes focusing, adjusting his breath, re-entering a highly concentrated state, and continued to slash repeatedly.
Night gradually faded.
Sunlight quietly spread across the mortal world.
Su Xin didn't need sleep, rest, or food; dying once or twice every half hour or so could eliminate all fatigue or hunger, functioning like a robot with infinite energy, chanically repeating slashing movents until the end of ti.
He indeed did so.
Moreover, with countless slashes and the growth in task progress, Su Xin gained deeper insight into swordsmanship, increasing the probability of gaining progress during slashes.
No one knew how much ti had passed.
"Ding! [Swordsmanship Maniac] progress 1."
"Ding! Congratulations, host! Task [Swordsmanship Maniac] completed. Earned one chance for superpower awakening; would you like to use it?"
Su Xin paused montarily in his actions.
Standing upright, taking a few deep breaths, he replied in his mind:
"Use!"
"Ding! Awakened superpower [Sword God Slash]"
[Sword God Slash: After drawing the blade, a slash can be emitted within three seconds, and the slash's maximum flying distance is ten ters.]
[Note: The slash is an extension of the blade.]
"Finally, an attack superpower."
"But unfortunately, it seems not to be of much use."
Su Xin appeared indifferent, not feeling excited about this superpower's appearance, rely thinking it's okay since he felt nearly invincible. With the Damage Transfer Superpower, he could easily kill most people, so another attack-type superpower seed insignificant.
Moreover, the superpower introduction stated, the slash emitted by Sword God Slash is only an extension of the blade, rely increasing attack distance without adding additional damage or effects.
If he wielded an ordinary fruit knife, and the slash struck objects ten ters away, wouldn't it be the sa as teleporting and cutting directly?
No, there's a slight difference.
The blade shouldn't get chipped.
But what significance does that hold?
Will it make his blade never wear down? Won't have to spend money on another one?
Of course, he knew the ability would greatly enhance upon upgrading, addressing its flaws. Before that, he had to try the superpower, to understand it better, facilitating future upgrades.
"Needing to draw the blade to trigger the superpower, he can only use a knife with a sheath."
Su Xin walked into the kitchen, taking out the household's only sheathed knife—a compact, green fruit knife with a sheath made of mock-wood with carved patterns.
Holding the knife, Su Xin looked at the kitchen wall.
Since the slash equals the blade's extension, fundantally having the sa effect as the blade itself striking, emitting a slash directly at the wall shouldn't cause much destruction.
Su Xin drew the blade.
The superpower activated successfully.
He instinctively grasped the technique, swung toward the wall.
A streak of silver slash leisurely flew out, taking nearly a second to hit the white tiles.
"Shhh!"
Simultaneously, a mild yet piercing sound reached Su Xin's ear.
Su Xin returned the fruit knife to its sheath, drew it again, forcefully swung it at the wall.
This ti, the slash flew significantly faster, producing a noticeably sharper sound upon hitting the tiles.
"The slash equals the blade's extension..."
"Really?"
Su Xin appeared enlightened.
"This ans not only does the slash possess the blade's identical sharpness, material, hardness, and all physical properties, but also reflects attack strength and flight speed, equivalent to the blade's power and its flight speed..."
"aning, my swinging force and speed."
Next, Su Xin attempted several tis.
Initially testing if distance impacted attack power.
He struck the wall several tis from varying distances, trying to control the sa force each ti.
Since the kitchen tiles had high hardness, previous slashes couldn't leave marks; to better compare attack strength, he had to try in the bedroom.
After several different distance attacks, the wall marks looked equally deep to Su Xin's eyes.
