True Solution of the Sword Dao

May 1, 2006

In a classroom on the third floor of the teaching building of Yan Capital University

The old professor with a head full of white hair sat in front of the computer, lecturing from the slides projected by the projector. His voice was slow and steady, unhurried.

Scattered below were over forty students. Although most were listening attentively, some were still doing their own things.

The early morning air was exceptionally cool and fresh. There was no sunlight, only cloudy weather.

Lin Fei sat alone by the window to the side, leaning his head on his hand, his gaze drifting outside.

Three days ago, Elisa’s Gate had successfully concluded.

The control remained in his hands.

In the battle with Lophista, he did not emerge without a price.

Using the power of demonization, he only demonized his sword-wielding right arm within his sleeve, but it was counter-rebounded by the holy Holy Power, causing numerous fractures on the grey-white carapace.

He had a premonition that if he fully demonized in front of many A-class psychics, unexpected complications would likely arise. This was also why he later chose to be so discreet.

The power of demonization was indeed extremely strong. Lin Fei roughly estimated that after full-body demonization, his own strength and speed would nearly increase by half, and most importantly, the recovery speed for his life force was terrifyingly fast. With the protection of the grey-white carapace layer, his defensive power significantly increased, and wounds recovered at an alarming rate, almost visible to the naked eye.

The terror of the inborn abilities of demons in the ancient times was evident from this. Strong defensive power, terrifying recovery speed, and an overall increase in quality in all aspects. This is demonization.

Even so, facing Griffin, he still had no confidence. Even Rogar and the others, with just that bit of ability, had not brought out even one Holy Artifact-level weapon. It was impossible for Lin Fei to believe that Rogar had wasted all those years of accumulation. Whether it was the Snake Woman or Rogar, or even the Night King, it seemed none of them had fought with their full strength.

The strongest power of A-class Dream Eaters was to become one with their own Dream World, which was where their true power lay. However, in the battle of Elisa’s Gate, no one had shown such ability. In other words, they hadn’t really fought with all their might. If that were the case, then the strength of the several council members in the previous battle might actually need to be doubled to be considered normal.

Lin Fei had estimated that after demonization, his Combat Power could increase by about double. His physical condition, already enhanced by the Qi Cultivation section, would become a terrifying presence after demonization.

And that Black Flame Demon Lord had not shown up since that day either. It was as if he had disappeared since the very beginning. He himself had said he was merely a strand of consciousness from an ancient Overlord.

Lin Fei felt that he seemed to be waiting for something, waiting for the right moment.

Aside from matters related to demonic power, Elisa’s Gate was also successfully opened, and Lin Fei set its specific location in an underground cave within Golden Base. Until he could be sure of exactly where this door led in the Inner World, it would not be possible to activate it directly.

All subsequent actions only required the people below to move, to send people in to explore, to position, and then to fine-tune the energy fluctuations of the door to lower the teleportation standards. Following that, there was still a long list of things to do.

What Lin Fei needed to do now was to quietly continue his Cultivation of the Star Shattering Sword Technique and perfect his Sword Intent. It was a long journey. The perfection of Sword Intent represented the perfection of his own Sword Dao, which was the start of establishing his own school of thought.

And now, he was still far from that level. Constantly battling with the strong within the Sword Canon, he could no longer gain much benefit. In terms of actual combat, he already had plenty of experience. What was now important was to clarify his own will, to understand what lay hidden in the deepest part of his heart.

Suddenly coming back to his senses,

Lin Fei straightened up, sitting upright in his chair.

The bell signaling the end of class rang.

The professor at the lectern decisively cut off the example problem he was discussing, swiftly packed up his teaching materials, stood up, and left without any delay.

The students below gradually started to stir as well, with several boys standing up to make phone calls and some girls gathering their bags and leaving together.

The students around Lin Fei got up one by one, chatting and leaving together.

Only he remained seated, motionless.

In the doorway of the classroom, his roommates Shi Ran and Du Xiaosheng stopped and Shi Ran looked back at Lin Fei.

"Aren’t we going to call him?" he whispered.

"Forget it, he definitely won’t join us," Du Xiaosheng said casually. "He’s too solitary. And, it always feels awkward to talk with him, very uncomfortable."

Shi Ran nodded, "I feel the same. Let’s go to the cafeteria first. I’ll buy some breakfast, I haven’t eaten anything yet. Later we’ll go online and choose the elective courses."

"Yeah."

The two talked as they walked out. Their voices faded into the distance.

Lin Fei sat alone in the classroom. There were only two classes that morning. Once they were over, he had nothing to do. He could move freely.

He withdrew his gaze from the window and stood up slowly.

The universities of today were entirely different from those of his previous life. Wandering between the Outer World and the Inner World, the simplicity and realness of the Outer World gave him a sense of unreality in the Inner World.

He remembered that his initial purpose for attending university was simply to research Pseudo True Force, and now he had essentially uncovered its secrets. So the only remaining reason for him to stay at the university was to ease his parents’ minds.

University no longer held much meaning for him...

Lin Fei thought this, suddenly feeling a sense of ennui.

Leaving the classroom, he walked out of the teaching building and headed back to the dorm.

As he approached the dormitory steps, a familiar figure appeared before him.

Lin Fei paused for a moment at the staircase, watching the figure. Suddenly, he felt a reluctance to go up.

"Hi, Lin Fei!"

The person at the dormitory door seemed to have seen him.

It was a girl, face covered in acne but with a good figure, fair skin, and regular features. If not for the acne, she might be considered pretty. This girl was none other than Zhao Yuqing, who had previously visited Lin Fei’s home.

Zhao Yuqing flashed a radiant smile and waved at Lin Fei.

"I’ve been waiting for you for so long." Her smile was so dazzling...

Lin Fei suddenly found it too dazzling...

"What are you doing here?" he steadied his emotions and asked.

"Waiting for you, of course?" Zhao Yuqing was carrying a milk-white little bag and was dressed in a black dress that fell past her knees. She even styled her hair with a single side clip, seemingly trying to look younger.

She happily ran down the stairs and arrived beside Lin Fei.

"I like you. Is it wrong for me to come find you?" This woman was always straightforward and aggressive.

Lin Fei’s mouth twitched, and he said no more. He quickened his pace up the stairs, took out his keys, opened the door, and went in.

Fortunately, at this time, there were very few students returning, and no one overheard their conversation just now. Most of the students were still in class. Even Ban, his roommate, did not return to the dormitory immediately.

Zhao Yuqing walked into the dormitory quite naturally and casually pulled out a chair to sit down.

Lin Fei placed his bookbag on his desk.

"Don’t you have classes?"

"Of course I do," Zhao Yuqing replied.

"Then where do you go to school?"

"I’ve just transferred here today. I’m in the same class as you," Zhao Yuqing stated briefly and obediently. "I just finished all the paperwork today."

"......." Lin Fei was at a loss for words.

Zhao Yuqing was very good and very fond of him.

He could show no mercy to anyone who offended him, but for those who liked him, he was quite helpless. Especially for such a thick-skinned woman. He couldn’t hit her, nor could he kill her.

Lin Fei had always preferred straightforward and decisive methods. But this person in front of him clearly could not be dealt with using his usual approach.

Zhao Yuqing was merely fond of him, or it could be described as a passion, a momentary impulse.

He originally thought that after a holiday to cool down, she should have gotten over it. But now, she had actually...

"I’m saying, Lin Fei, you don’t even have a computer here? How do you live without internet? Wow~~~~~ do you like wearing white underwear..."

Lin Fei’s face twitched as he snatched the underwear from Zhao Yuqing’s hands. She was curiously tugging at it with a look of genuine interest.

He had only zoned out for a moment, and this woman had already started rummaging through his wardrobe... and with a totally justified expression on her face.

"I’ve told you, I don’t like you. You’re not my type," he took a deep breath, trying to keep his emotions stable as he spoke.

"It doesn’t matter; you don’t know me well enough yet," Zhao Yuqing waved her hand dismissively, "I’m really easy to get along with, everyone who meets me says so."

More like incredibly difficult to get along with...

Lin Fei felt a headache for the first time...

He was one of the leaders of the highest organization of Dream Eaters in the whole world, possessing boundless authority and influence, and he was also one of the individuals standing at the very peak. But at this moment, he felt genuinely exasperated.

Aside from family members,

No one had ever dared to be so relaxed and unpressured in his presence. Even other students would still feel pressured under the subtle yet powerful aura emanating from him. But Zhao Yuqing seemed oblivious to this extent...

Although Zhao Yuqing only saw him as an ordinary person, as a slightly above average college student.

"Well then. Do you need something from me?" Lin Fei closed the wardrobe door firmly and asked.

Zhao Yuqing blinked. "Nothing, I just wanted to come and see."

"Then suit yourself," Lin Fei said, no longer bothering with her. He was ready to turn around and wash his face.

CLAP!

Zhao Yuqing was holding a black-sheathed longsword, and the hilt lightly tapped against the wardrobe, making a sound.

Lin Fei’s eyelids twitched. He walked over and grabbed her hand, which was about to draw the sword.

The Black Demon Sword, since being destroyed by the Black Flame Demon Lord in the battlefield of the mark, has re-condensed from the black smoke back into the Black Demon Sword. But it has subtly changed its appearance. On the Black Demon Sword, demonic power was vaguely attached...

Lin Fei’s hand firmly pressed on Zhao Yuqing’s hand.

He could clearly hear the strange longing coming from inside the Black Demon Sword. It was an extremely evil aura, the attribute of demonic power itself. Ordinary people, let alone psychics, if slightly weaker, would probably be unable to resist its corruption. Even the original demonic energy inside the Black Demon Sword had been completely devoured by the demonic power.

Lin Fei didn’t know what life would become after being eroded by demonic power, but Zhao Yuqing was innocent. He might be ruthless in killing, but he still had his principles and moral boundaries.

Zhao Yuqing looked at him steadily, her cheeks quickly turning from white to red.

"Don’t mess with my things," Lin Fei found that unless he was cold, he seemed to have no effect on her at all.

"Oh," Zhao Yuqing nodded.

The Black Demon Sword returned to Lin Fei’s hand. The flow of demonic power within slowly calmed down. (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation tickets, monthly tickets, your support is my greatest motivation.)
