Chapter 28: Promoted to Intermediate Swordsman

  "Today we have 3 more chapters, I'll come back at midnight to release one chapter first, don't forget to vote and collect, everyone."

  "What's going on with Alice?" Lin Wu asked, he had to get to the bottom of this, if Alice was playing a prank then he would be an accomplice, but seeing those few people they didn't seem to be afraid of Alice.

  "Hmph, that little white face, actually helping those scoundrels, it's really too detestable." Alice said indignantly.

  It wasn't until Alice spoke that Lin Wu noticed the people standing next to the pale-faced man were actually the ones Alice had punished earlier.

  "Alice, what authority do you have to arbitrarily punish a noble?" The pale-faced man said coldly. "And my name is Percy Hyacinth, if you call me 'pale face' again that's an insult to the nobility, even as the lady of the Rose family, you will need to be punished under imperial law."

  "Tulip!!" Lin Wu, who was standing beside him, was shocked in his heart. "No wonder this little white face Bosley is not afraid of Alice, it turns out that he is from the Tulip family, one of the three major families along with the Rose family."

  "Hmph!! I'm not afraid at all. Your Majesty loves me the most and will definitely not punish me." Alice said with a pout.

  "Oh, I see. I'll go find Miss Irina to explain this matter to her. If at that time Irina is not strict in her management, Your Majesty will surely deal with it fairly." Bo Xi said calmly.

  "How dare you!!" Hearing this, Alice let out a startled cry like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

  Alice is fearless of heaven and earth, but afraid of Elena. If this matter gets out of hand, she will definitely be locked up, thinking of which Alice's face is full of anxious expression.

  Lin Wu, who was standing by, felt that there was something fishy about this matter. Alice's pranks were not new, and the number of nobles she had tricked was not small. Why did she cling to it so tightly this time? Moreover, the other party was the Carnation family, one of the three major families along with the Rose family, which made it even more puzzling.

  "Of course, Miss Alice, if you'd like to settle this privately, that's fine too." Percy couldn't help but flash a hint of a smile on his face.

  "You say," said Alice sulkily.

  "Alright, my guard is quite skilled. If Miss Alice can defeat him, then we'll consider the matter settled. But if Miss Alice loses, then she'll just have to pay a small compensation fee," Posey said.

  "Good!" Alice agreed immediately after hearing the words. Lin Wu, who was behind Alice, couldn't stop her in time, "Alice this girl, this is obviously a trap, and she actually jumped down so easily."

  Moreover, Alice was no match for the tall and slender man at all. Seeing this, Lin Wu knew that this matter could not be allowed to happen to Alice in any case, so he had to go up himself.

  One of the Alice who was about to rush up and fight was pulled back, Lin Wu stepped forward and said: "Mr. Posey, a guard actually wants our young lady to take action, isn't this too ridiculous?"

  Napoleon's eyes flashed with a hint of malice, "Oh, so you want to replace Alice."

  "That's right." Lin Wu said in a low voice.

  "Hmph, just a novice swordsman, since you're willing to show your loyalty, I'll give you this chance. Meet me at the arena tomorrow." Posei said to Alice: "I wonder if Miss Alice agrees."

  "No problem." Alice was about to say something, but seeing Lin Wu's gaze, she nodded obediently in the end.

  Alice was then pulled away by Lin Wu.

  "Is this guard reliable, young Master Percy? If he fails, won't it ruin your plan?" a noble youth beside him whispered.

  "It's nothing, I have confidence in this person's abilities. If you think he's just a mid-level swordsman on the surface, then you're greatly mistaken. And Alice's attendant is only an elementary swordsman, not worth worrying about." Boshi said coldly.

  Then Posey said to the young man with a mask, "If you win this time, I will send you whatever you want." With that, Posey turned and left.

  "Irène, you will be mine sooner or later." Posey clenched his fists tightly, thinking of Irène's stunning face and feeling a burning passion in his heart.

  ……

  Back to the Rose family, Alice pulled Lin Wu to her small courtyard, with a serious face: "Little Lin, do you have confidence in beating that guy wearing a mask?"

  "It's tough, this person is definitely hiding their strength even though they appear to be an intermediate swordsman on the surface." Lin Wu said with a pause.

  "Oh dear, what shall I do now?" said Alice in a hurry.

  "Hey, little girl, you're too impulsive and have completely fallen into that Posey Uke's trap." Lin Wu let out a long sigh.

  "I don't care, Kobayashi, you have to win tomorrow!" Alice started getting agitated upon hearing this.

  "This matter is not simple, I think it's better to talk to Miss Elena about it." Lin Wu felt that this matter was not so simple.

  "Oh no, don't say anything, if sister finds out, she'll definitely lock me up, I don't want to." Upon hearing this, Alice hastily shook her head, "Xiao Lin, if you dare to say a word, I will not let you off."

  "Alright, alright, I won't say anything." Lin Wu said, but Alice could only reluctantly agree.

  "Really? Then you must win tomorrow, I'll support you." Alice said excitedly, patting Lin Wu.

  "Alas..." Lin Wu could only sigh at this, "I'll do my best."

  Lin Wu left Alice's courtyard and entered the house next door, starting his impact on the intermediate swordsman realm.

  ……

  "Ah, just a little bit short." Lin Wu opened his eyes and let out a long sigh. This night's cultivation had not brought about a breakthrough in Lin Wu's strength, but he believed that it wouldn't be long before he broke through this bottleneck. However, time waits for no man.

  Today, there was no Alice to disturb him, apparently this girl was preparing for today's trial. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lin Wu also walked out of the Rose family and went to fetch his own weapon.

  With that enchanted magic weapon, Lin Wu's chances of winning would increase significantly.

  "Old man, I've come for the sword." As usual, the street in front of the old man's shop was quiet and deserted.

  "What's all the shouting about, so early in the morning?" A impatient voice came from the shop. Then an old man with a dark face walked out holding a sword, "Take it, and don't forget the gold coins you owe."

  Taking the sword, Lin Wu suddenly felt a difference, a gust of wind energy transmitted from the sword body, and he swiftly drew out the long sword, its body flashing like a streak of blue rainbow.

  "Wow, so fast!" Lin Wu was shocked in his heart. This sword-drawing speed was about 10% faster than before. Don't underestimate this 10%. In battle, if you can draw your sword first, you naturally gain the priority to attack. If you can grasp this advantage, you can even suppress the enemy and make it impossible for them to draw their sword.

  With a light swing, even the speed of the sword's movement was amplified. "No wonder it's a magical weapon," Lin Wu exclaimed in admiration. Suddenly, Lin Wu felt that the aura within his body had some unusual movements. Lin Wu's heart stirred, and he transmitted the aura into his hand. As the aura was transmitted to his hand, it suddenly resonated with the wind element within the long sword. The aura actually flowed from Lin Wu's hand into the long sword.

  At that moment, Lin Wu's body shook violently, and the Dou Qi inside him burst out, with the wind element energy in the air surging towards him. The Dou Qi inside his body frantically circulated along the Gale Decision's Dou Qi technique, causing the amount of Dou Qi to surge instantly, and apart from that, the quality of the Dou Qi also improved.

  At this moment, Lin Wu was promoted from a primary swordsman to an intermediate swordsman!!
