Chapter 125: Secret Mansion Part 4


    Qin stared at the bear with surprise. Although his sword cultivation was unlocked, the bear had the strength of Top Tier Monster. After joining the Battle Dragon Sect, he learned a bit more about the monsters.


    They are divided into nine tiers just like nine realms. Starting from low, middle, high, top, peak, transcendence, king, emperor, and ancestor. Each tier was divided into nine ranks from first to the ninth rank. And, each rank was further divided into four periods just like humans.


    Currently, the difference in period doesn''t hinder Qin at all. Even the difference in realm barely hinders him. But, there was a huge problem now. Since the monster in front of him was Top-Tier Monster, its strength was equal to a Revolving Core Realm cultivator.


    That means he can''t fight this monster unless he uses his physical strength alongside his sword cultivation. But, the trouble still exists because he can''t use the physical strength.


    "So, what should I do now? How can I fight this beast?" Qin asked himself as he clenched his fist.


    Whoosh!


    "Shit!" But, suddenly the bear moves towards him without even giving him the warning. And, the bear movement was quite fast especially for its big body.


    Roar! Bang!


    As soon as it reached near Qin, the bear raised its w and smashed at Qin. The w moved so fast that Qin could barely release his sword energy on his sword. The w of the bear struck his sword and without the sword energy to defend, his body flew back like slingshot.


    Thud!


    Qin''s body collided against the pir and fell to the ground.


    "Gah!" As soon as his chest struck the ground, he coughed out blood on the floor. He could feel the weakness throughout his body. Without his physical strength, he didn''t have the endurance to endure such attack.


    He raised his head as he saw the bear pouncing towards him. It was still on the air. But, his body feels too weak to move. He closed his eyes for a moment and activates his Sword Eyes. It didn''t give him any extra power but when he opened his eyes, he saw the weakness of the bear.


    He moved his hand and stabbed straight. His sword slightly dodged the ws of the bear and head straight towards its left inner shoulder.


    Crack! Crack! Ding!


    But on the air, bear swings its right w and struck his sword. Even though his sword was coated with sword energy, the bear easily broke it into piece. For a moment, Qin didn''t understand what just happened.


    Although his sword cultivation wasn''t at the top, he had practiced all four attributes that increase hardness as well. And, the bear didn''t even use its full strength. More importantly, he was holding the real sword.


    Bang!


    After breaking the bear, it tried to put its w back in its original position but it was already above Qin. Even so, it''s body still smashed over Qin, pressing him to the ground.


    "Ugh!"


    Crack! Crack!


    Qin coughed out blood as the bear smashed his body. He found the bones on his chest cracking. He wanted to get up but the bear had pressed its body on him.


    ''What''s happening? Why am I losing?''


    Qin nked out for a moment. He truly didn''t understand why he was losing. Although his sword cultivation wasn''t as strong as Top-Tier monster, he should be able to fight it. But, now while fighting it, he wasn''t.


    Bang!


    The bear stood up and held both of its arms together and smashed Qin''s chest. Once again, his bones were broken but Qin was still nked out.


    ''Why can''t I fight back? What is happening to me? Qin, just hold your sword! Hold your sword and stab!''


    "Hold your sword and stab!"


    At this moment, a sword appeared on his hand and he thrusts it towards the bear. But, the bear slightly moves to the right. Although Qin was able to move, he was too slow in bear''s eyes. Dodging his attack, the bear raised his palms once again and mmed on his chest.


    Bang!


    Crack! Crack!


    "Gahhhhhh!"


    Qin coughed out blood once again but he didn''t scream. He wasn''t feeling pain but his body was going to endure all this force. At this moment, he couldn''t help but think.


    ''I moved but I still failed. Ahh! I am a swordsman. But, up until now, I have beenpletely relying on physical strength. Without it, am I a loser?''


    At this moment, he felt an intense pain in his heart.


    [I don''t need words to prove what I truly am.]


    Suddenly, those words appeared on his mind.


    ''When that man tried to kill me, I had nothing to fight back. I didn''t had the strong cultivation. I had no physical strength. I didn''t have the sword cultivation either. But, at that moment, I was able to fight back. I was able to slice his arm.''


    ''I know. My confidence has gone way up. Because of my physical strength and cultivation, I always think I can escape from every situation but that''s not true. I basically has no strength to fight back if I encounter strong people.''


    Bang!


    At this moment, the bear attacked once again but suddenly the lightning sparkled around him. Before even the hands could smash him, Qin rolled away from the bear and dodged the hands.


    ''When I was living at the thread of life and death, I never looked for strength. I looked for survival. Because I knew if I survive, I will get stronger.''


    Qin slowly stood up with his broken chest. His legs were trembling. He didn''t even realize he was holding Xiao Lan in his hand. He held the sword with both of his hands. When he move his upper body, his bones cracked even more but he felt no pain.


    Those days where he spent on lightning, ice and qi weren''t for naught. These days did improve his strength. Qin raised his eyes at the bear and muttered.


    "If I survive this, I will get stronger right."


    The next moment, his curved back straightened. He closed his eyes and muttered.


    "But, to survive this, I must get stronger."


    "It''s about the time."
