What a terrifying strike!
But it didnât kill the man in the treeâ
Undoubtedly, he held back.
"Baxter, what sword technique is this?" the man in the tree asked.
"Eternal, part of the Eternal Blade Techniques," Shen Ye said.
"Eternal? So itâs our Human Raceâs technique." The man in the tree nodded.
"Yes," Shen Ye replied.
The two exchanged glances.
The man in the tree struggled with his emotions, suddenly saying:
"But I need to tell you, no one can defeat themâonce they come, youâre dead."
Shen Ye raised an eyebrow slightly.
This statement carried a certain implication, as if hinting to himâ
They are coming.
This was too obvious!
It seemed not all humans succumbed to the monsters.
But the monsters were too powerfulâ
Some people had to outwardly pretend to submit.
Shen Ye chuckled softly and said:
"The world is vast, and righteousness endures, hence my âEternalâ strike."
"âI refuse to believe we canât outsmart those creatures."
Before he finished speaking.
Suddenly, four strangers appeared on the street.
The moment they appeared, Shen Ye stepped into the void and disappeared.
The four reacted swiftly, each wielding weapons and striking at where Shen Ye vanished.
Unfortunatelyâ
Their weapons hit nothing.
He really left.
"Split up and search!"
The four scattered, each choosing a direction and swiftly leaving.
The man standing in the tree stood motionless, suddenly burst into tears, shook his head, and disappeared in a flash.
In the bar.
Everyone was still immersed in the atmosphere of the recent battle.
A deep voice suddenly rang out:
"Bartender, a pint of beer please."
Itâs Shen Ye!
He placed a few coins on the counter.
âAfter escaping the ambush, he returned to this very bar!
The bartender quickly served the pint of beer.
Shen Ye picked up the glass and silently took a sip.
"Good beer," he praised.
"Of course, itâs the best beer on the entire street," the bartender replied.
"The beerâs good, the personâs even better," Shen Ye said.
"Sir, I donât understand what you mean," the bartender responded.
"Did you just watch everything happen because it was all your plan?"
Shen Ye asked.
The bartender stared at him, bewildered.
"Stop pretending," Shen Ye said, "in this entire world, including those four monsters earlier, none can match you; you should be the one in charge."
The bartender pondered for a moment and said, "Youâve been coming to drink to observe me?"
"Yes," Shen Ye replied.
"No one has ever seen through my disguise before; what method did you use?" the bartender inquired.
"Trade secret, canât disclose," Shen Ye said.
âAs the "Void Creation, All Laws Harmonization," he could instantly see that the elements on the bartender surpassed everyone in the entire world.
This fundamentally detected the bartenderâs disguise.
"So when you came to drink, it was out of curiosity about me?" the bartender asked.
His aura shifted.
An extremely chaotic and evil aura emanated from him.
The keen professionals had already stood up and quietly left the bar.
The remaining people quickly followed suit.
In no time.
Only Shen Ye and the bartender were left in the bar.
"You must have laughedâIâd come for drinks, each time going back to think about how to kill you,"
Shen Ye said with a smile.
The bartender, separated by the bar counter, spoke:
"Firstly, your strength is too weak, thereâs no possibility of hurting me;"
"Secondly, if I summon now, those four would return immediately, leaving you with no escape."
"So what should we talk about?" Shen Ye asked.
"Letâs talk about the futureâwhat information have you actually obtained regarding the âfutureâ?" the bartender asked.
"I donât want to say, unless you take on my strike," Shen Ye said.
The bartenderâs face showed a remarkable disdain.
He whispered:
"Youâre just a human, why canât you know your place?"
"Because you, a non-human, donât dare to engage me in battle," Shen Ye said calmly, "the moment I move, youâd be so terrified youâd call for backup immediately."
The bartenderâs expression froze.
Throughout its long life, probably no one had spoken to it this way before.
The bartender thought for a moment and slowly said:
"Poor guy, your strength in my eyes is clear and definite, only at the lower S-level standard."
"You donât realize how terrifying my strength isâ"
"I donât need any help, with one move I can subdue you."
"Come, attack now!"
As he spoke, his murderous intent became nearly uncontrollable.
Yes!
The bartender didnât summon the four monsters; he decided to personally subdue this arrogant human!
âHe didnât need so many hands!
Shen Ye, propping his chin with his hand, sat outside the bar counter, laughing:
"You may not know, we humans are quite an imaginative species."
"Make a move, letâs see how Iâll kill you," the bartender said with a smile.
"Here I come," Shen Ye said.
"Come on." the bartender said.
"Itâs really comingâ"
In an instant.
Rows of faint glowing words quietly appeared in the void:
"You have activated the professional skill âVoid Destiny Makingâ of the future profession âDestiny Makerâ."
"The target of this skill is: yourself."
"Current skill successfully activated."
"The existence you designated, âShen Ye,â has awakened intelligence and consciousness, its âattributesâ risen to SSS-level, wholly committed to fighting for you."
"Congratulations."
"Your strength has risen to SSS-level!"
All small words gathered up.
At this moment.
The strength of young Shen Ye rose to SSS-level!
If we say the S-level Shen Ye was merely at the low rank of S-levelâ
After all, he only had all attributes leveled at S-level.
No wonder the bartender completely looked down on him.
But at this instantâ
The bartender would certainly be unprepared.
Even with the bartenderâs foresight, he could not foresee someone existing who could climb directly from S-level to the peak of SSS-level!
Taking advantage of this moment.
Shen Ye drew his blade.
Not chopping, not slashing straight, but circling.
Like the evening breeze at dusk, like the silk thread in a loverâs eyes, lightly and gently making a spin at the bartenderâs neck.
The bladeâs light was splendid, yet it blossomed briefly like summer flowers.
Clang.
Shen Ye sheathed his sword and turned away.
The bartender was stunned for a moment.
What a swift blade!
Moreover, from the move itself, he could not find any opportunity to block it.
That is to sayâ
That strike accounted for all of his evasions and defenses.
A truly excellent strike.
But unfortunately.
The technique reached its peak, but without power, the whole sword technique seemed rather like painting a tiger only to end up with a dog in semblance.
âHe wasnât hurt at all.
"Whatâs the name of this strike? Eternal?"
The bartender asked.
"Noâthis move is called Decomposing the Bull." Shen Ye said without looking back.
"You think of me as a bull?"
The bartender sneered.
Shen Ye did not respond, only walked out with his head lowered.
The bartender frowned and shouted:
"Get back here!"
"Iâve already received one of your moves, now you must explain what the future is all about!"
But Shen Ye did not respond.
He just briskly walked out of the bar, quickly vanishing from sight.
The bartender attempted to use a spell to catch himâ
However, a fierce sword Qi suddenly erupted on his neck, piercing through the skin, drawing a bit of blood.
I see!
This is the Eternal Blade Technique, it can last forever!
Thatâs why he left after the slash.
Because this move would eternally persist, until completely shattered by another force!
A cold smirk appeared at the bartenderâs mouth.
âThe same issue remains, the sword techniqueâs skill was strong, but its power was too weak.
"Four Demons, return."
The bartender said in a low voice.
In the next moment.
Four monsters who were chasing Shen Ye separately appeared together.
They looked at the bartender, their faces all showing strange expressions.
"He just left, you should chase immediatelyâwait, why are you showing such expressions? Why are you looking at me like that?"
The bartender asked.
The four monsters glanced at each other.
"Sir, did he reach U-level?"
"Or is it that his sword technique is truly astonishing?"
Two of the monsters asked in unison.
"How could he possibly reach U-level! Stop dreaming, thatâs a realm no human can reach." The bartender retorted.
"But sir, youâre already like thisâitâs simply unimaginable that a human could do such a thing."
One monster said bravely.
The bartender was stunned.
Iâm like this?
What does that mean, whatâs going on with me?
Suddenly realizing something, the bartender sharply lifted his head, floated up to the sky, and looked back.
âHe saw his own headless body still standing behind the bar.
Just now.
His head had been chopped off, placed on the bar.
Yet he didnât know!
"The skill of this sword technique... can actually reach such a level?"
The bartender murmured.
"Sir, let us help heal you." said a monster.
"Fine, be quickâ"
The bartenderâs voice suddenly halted.
In the gaze of the four monsters, fine lines appeared on the surface of his head.
The lines deepened continuously.
Blood seeped out.
But the bartender remained completely unaware.
He didnât know he was dead, so he still wanted to say something more.
