From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 391 - 273 Storm Cliff, Level Up_2

Now it was a matter of figuring out how to resolve the situation.

Lu Heng needed to build rapport with him in order to learn his ultimate sword technique.

However, the Elf Sword Saint Terence was reputed to have a quirky personality, making him extremely difficult to approach.

In his previous life, the Superpower User who had learned the Sword Saint’s Ultimate Skill didn’t do so at this time, but a year and a half after the Abyss invaded Blue Star.

At that time, the Elf Clan was facing a huge crisis and Terence, seeking more assistance, imparted his sword technique to that Superpower User.

Therefore, the Superpower User who received the legacy of the Sword Saint’s Ultimate Skill in the previous life had actually done so because circumstances forced Terence to teach it.

The point in time Lu Heng had entered now was too early; the Elf Clan had not yet encountered such a severe crisis.

To get Terence to teach the sword technique now was naturally more difficult.

Lu Heng thought quickly in his mind and responded, "I come from the Human World, summoned here. My mission alert states that Elf Royal City of Kolos will face a crisis, and I am required to go and resolve it.

"The forest elder gave me a Golden Tree Seed, saying that someone would receive me once I brought it to Kolos City."

Terence showed a hint of displeasure in his eyes and snorted coldly, "Then go there, what are you climbing my mountain for?"

Lu Heng was not in a hurry and continued, "My mission also mentions the presence of an Abyss Summoner. So, according to my speculation, there must be a powerful being from the Abyss in alliance with the Abyss Summoner, intending to launch a surprise attack on Kolos City.

"Mr. Terence, have you been summoned? If you have been, you should know that a summons indicates a real crisis.

"I’m wondering if Kolos City could fall? Even if it doesn’t, the people inside might still be in danger.

"I wonder if Queen Orelana has enough guards to protect her."

At the mention of Orelana’s name, Terence’s fingers visibly twitched.

Clearly, he was very concerned about that name.

The mere fact that he could be in discord with a forest elder of the Elf Clan over Queen Orelana showed that he cared greatly about the Elf Queen.

Seeing the fleeting expression on his face, Lu Heng knew he had guessed correctly.

Terence snorted coldly, "The defenses of Kolos City are impregnable; the Abyss Summoner won’t be able to get in."

Lu Heng spread his hands, "I hope so."

Terence said that, but his breath was clearly not as steady as before; he was obviously worried.

He glared at Lu Heng and asked, "If you were sent by Seren to Kolos, why aren’t you going? Why come to me?"

Lu Heng spread his hands and corrected, "I wasn’t sent by Seren; I was summoned by the will of the world. My mission is to stop the Abyss Summoner and resolve the crisis facing Kolos City.

"I don’t think going directly to Kolos City would solve the crisis; if it were that easy, there would be no need for a summoning.

"What I’m considering now is to investigate the source of the crisis and enhance my combat power as much as possible, fearing my current combat power is insufficient for the coming crisis."

Terence snorted coldly, "You are indeed too weak."

Lu Heng was tempted to roll his eyes and thought to himself: How can you, an old fellow who has lived for six hundred years, have the face to call me weak?

Terence, thinking about the sword in Lu Heng’s hand, had already guessed something and snorted coldly, "State your purpose."

At times like these, hiding his intentions would be counterproductive.

Lu Heng nodded in acknowledgment, "I wish to learn Mr. Terence’s ultimate sword technique."

Terence, full of pride, declared, "The swordsmanship of the Elf Clan will not be taught to outsiders."

Lu Heng internally retorted: He refuses to share it now because the crisis hasn’t arrived yet.

In his previous life, he had taught it to humans; obviously, his principles weren’t that firm.

Lu Heng thought for a moment, then decided on a bold move:

"It seems Sword Saint Mr. Terence doesn’t care for Queen Orelana as much as forest elder Seren does. My companion offered to help resolve the crisis in Kolos City and immediately received the Ancient Tree Blessing.

"I thought I might also receive guidance from you, Sword Saint Mr. Terence; it looks like I was wrong. Farewell!"

After the last two words, Lu Heng turned and walked away, without any intention of arguing further.

Terence, having felt the presence of the Ancient Tree’s Blessing at the foot of the mountain earlier, knew Lu Heng wasn’t lying.

When it came to matters involving Queen Orelana, he could tolerate everything except losing to Seren.

So he stood up and rebuked, "Even if I were willing to teach you, you couldn’t possibly learn it; my swordsmanship can’t be learned by just any creature."

Lu Heng’s lips curled into a smile as he turned and replied, "Please just instruct me, Sword Saint Mr. Terence. If I can’t learn, that’s my problem."

Terence considered for a moment and said, "To learn my swordsmanship, first, you need to meet several requirements to qualify for the attempt. First, unleash a Sound Explosion Sword when you draw the sword."

Lu Heng did not speak; instead, he lifted the Aurora Blade and with a swing, produced a booming sound explosion sword.

Terence raised an eyebrow; he found that this human before him had more Talent than he had anticipated. He went on, "Second, kill five hundred Abyss Demons to prove your determination."

Without another word, Lu Heng turned, took a hurried step to the cliff edge, jumped down, and as he fell, a Chongming Bird caught him mid-air. He said, "Hunting Demons... five hundred of them."

Time was of the essence, and the number five hundred was rather large. Moreover, he needed time afterward to practice Sword Saint Terence’s ultimate technique.
