But in such a short amount of time, could it really be done—
Chen Qi once again gripped the long blade. Your next read awaits at empire
However, the next second, something beyond his imagination happened again.
The blade once again pierced his chest!
So fast!
"The five hundred and eighth time, eight seconds—"
Chen Qi voiced a number he couldn't believe himself.
Eight seconds, that was his fastest time dying now!!!
He had once again broken the record!
Impossible, the Blade Witch had been sitting on the pile of corpses for at least five seconds, and sitting down took time too.
I was killed in less than ten seconds?
No, that's not right... Chen Qi's eyes struggled to move as he looked toward the Blade Witch beside him.
The Blade Witch slightly lifted her head, her crimson eyes filled with disdain as she said quietly,
"True Blade Release should face situations beyond imagination."
"Come on! Let me teach you!"
The Blade Witch coldly pulled the long blade from Chen Qi's chest.
Bang—
Chen Qi once again fell to the ground, looking at the prompt before him.
[You were kicked to death by the Blade Witch like a stray dog on the roadside.]
[Identifying inspiration—]
[You have successfully identified the 'Blade Witch's' trait—Memory.]
[The Blade Witch will form special memories about points that made a deep impression during the relentless trials!]
[Faraway traveler! You have successfully caught the attention of the Blade Witch!]
The BOSS can remember my moves? Getting stronger with each fight?
A glimmer of disbelief flashed through Chen Qi's eyes as he returned to the starting point.
Once again, he formed a defensive posture with his blade!
No chance to catch his breath! No chance to think!
With the whooshing of the wind, Chen Qi's speed of death got faster and faster, ever faster.
Draw the blade to block! Then be slain! Emitting a hoarse cry!
Draw the blade to block! Then be slain! Emitting a hoarse cry!
Pain surged in like a tide, wave after wave, showing no signs of stopping.
Ten times, fifty times, a hundred times, three hundred times—
In these three hundred times, only eleven times did Chen Qi manage to push the Blade Witch into her berserk mode.
Only once did he make the Blade Witch curse out loud, but in the end, he was still defeated due to the failure of Blade Release.
Spurt! Spurt!
The number of deaths accumulated unnoticed.
Five hundred times—
Seven hundred times—
Spurt!
Chen Qi's pupils dilated, unable to describe his current feelings.
"Wait, how many times has it been?"
Chen Qi couldn't describe his feelings at the moment, an overwhelming sense of powerlessness had permeated his entire body.
It was a very particular feeling—
A sensation more terrifying than pain itself, a feeling of no longer perceiving pain—
Numbness.
My body, has it started to become numb to the pain—
Even though I am being sliced by a blade, tortured by the Blade Witch, cut down like a mere foot soldier, but at this moment, my spirit has actually withstood this pain, grown familiar with this agony—
Has my spirit broken—
Chen Qi found that he seemed to have let the Blade Witch cut him, over a thousand times, perhaps even reaching two thousand, three thousand...
It hurts—
Fen—
For some reason, the image of Fen suddenly flashed through Chen Qi's mind.
As well as the words Fen said to him before departing.
"If you can't hold on, then choose to give up thinking, wait for the crack to end, I'll be there..."
Is this the trial of the Blade Witch, this is what Fen meant by giving up thinking... Chen Qi touched his forehead, fully understanding Fen's meaning.
Now, he had a method, which was to shoot himself in the head before the Blade Witch killed him, to reduce the agony of pain through this method.
Fen's meaning was, if you truly can't endure it anymore, then give up this way!
By relying on such mechanical means! Perhaps it might diminish the sense of repeated death defeat!
And at that time, Fen on the outside would comfort me, help treat my mental trauma, and really console me...
Clang!
Relying on instinct, Chen Qi once again drew his blade and blocked a strike from the Blade Witch.
Still underestimated, huh—
"Witch!"
"Hmm?"
The corner of the Blade Witch's mouth curled up in a smile, seemingly not expecting the current turn of events.
"What? You're not continuing with your book?"
The Blade Witch let out a light chuckle.
"I've rested enough."
Chen Qi estimated the time in his mind, and it was also about time to end this crack!
Clang!
[Your understanding of Blade Release has increased!]
[Your understanding of Blade Release has increased!]
[Your understanding of Blade Release has increased!]
...
Ten times! A hundred times! A thousand times!
[You are only one step away from a full understanding of Blade Release!]
Chen Qi returned to the starting point once again, exhaling a breath of fresh red air, then immediately looking up at the Blade Witch on the pile of corpses.
In the continuous deaths, he had completed the construction of the equation for victory!
Moreover, his battle spirit had reached its peak!
Chen Qi exhaled a white breath:
"Blade Teacher, are you ready to rest?"
Chen Qi looked at the Blade Witch silently and said politely.
Admittedly, although the Blade Witch had killed him thousands of times, ever since he started calling her 'Blade Teacher,' the Blade Witch's moves had become more and more extravagant!
Indeed! Coming up with various ways to kill him!
What an uppercut! A spin! A Stabbing! Fruit ninja in the air! Piercing strike! It all came one after another!
During this, she would occasionally switch breathing techniques and change her movement technique Skills!
And, as long as he used his taunt Skill, the Blade Witch would also unlock kicking techniques and long-range Skills.
It could be said that Chen Qi was able to hold on because of the Blade Witch's extravagant moves.
