Godslayer: God of the Sequence, Starting Guide to Conquering Lin Qiye

Chapter 75 Lin Qiye's Path?

clatter--

Yang Gao and Lin Qiye's wooden swords clashed, and the two stared at each other, neither willing to back down.

Ten minutes ago, Instructor Han finished explaining the sword techniques to be practiced today and then had the students practice in pairs.

Yang Gao and Lin Qiye's progress was different from the other recruits, so they could only train together.

It was fine at first, but their fight got a little out of hand.

The attack was getting faster and faster. The dazzling sword swings and the dense "clattering" sound of wooden swords clashing together made it seem like yesterday's drones had returned!

Instructor Han watched their fight from a distance.

Yang Gao was alright; he held the knife in his left hand, but his right hand seemed to be empty and needed another weapon.

Lin Qiye gripped the knife with both hands, and his attacks were swift, but something seemed to be missing.

Instructor Han also witnessed the "tenacity" of these two divine agents yesterday.

So he decided to take another look and offer some pointers.

However, he was also puzzled as to why Yang Gao's moves today were completely different from his experienced style last time.

Although the last fight only lasted a few dozen seconds,

But Instructor Han could sense a faint sense of despair emanating from Yang Gao.

So skilled that it's no exaggeration to say it's a knife capable of cutting through the wind and severing hope.

Yang Gao glanced at Instructor Han, though he had no idea what Instructor Han was thinking.

But he was familiar with the original plot of the Godslayer world.

Here, Instructor Han is pointing out that Lin Qiye's use of the one-handed sword is not genius-level.

Moreover, it's very difficult to become a master!

—So, I'm going to increase the intensity of Seven Nights!

Brother, don't blame me!

Yang Gao's eyes narrowed, and he pressed the knife down in his hand!

He dodged Lin Qiye's blade and swung his hand back at Lin Qiye.

Lin Qiye's reflexes were incredibly fast; he raised his elbow the moment he realized Yang Gao's intention.

The wooden sword drew a semi-circle in the air and landed precisely on Yang Gao's wooden sword.

He was about to smile smugly.

Snapped--

The sound of the wooden sword breaking silenced Yang Gao and Lin Qiye.

Yang Gao's eyes widened, and he took a step back.

He glanced weakly at Lin Qiye and said, "Let's stop practicing here for today..."

—Retire gracefully after achieving your goals!

Yang Gao had already seen Instructor Han walking towards them. He walked up to him and said, "Yang Gao, your knife seems weaker today..."

—Huh? What's it to me?

Isn't that referring to Lin Qiye?

How did it become me?

"It's just practice, my brother and I are both afraid of hurting others," Yang Gao said with a laugh.

He scratched his head, looking like a hot-blooded idiot.

"No practice session is allowed to be wasted! When you get to the battlefield, what enemy will give you time to adjust?" Instructor Han suddenly lost his temper.

For the Night's Watch, every swing of their sword is the closest they come to death.

Therefore, he did not allow Yang Gao to treat his usual practice as a joke.

Even if he is a divine agent possessing divine power.

"Combat itself is muscle memory. Every practice session is an opportunity to help you avoid certain death in the future!!" Instructor Han's shout made everyone in the training ground hear it!

His gaze was piercing; he was imparting knowledge as an old Night's Watchman.

I don't want those who come after me to make the same mistake.

Yang Gao was stunned for a moment; he really hadn't thought about these things.

Because there was always a voice inside him telling him that he still had a trump card up his sleeve.

He has a sequence of [murder experts]...

He can still use his brain...

At this moment, Yang Gao suddenly began to reflect: what if he had used up all his trump cards?

What if there were still a group of Great Xia residents waiting for his rescue at that time?

What if your Night's Watch companions were behind you at that moment?

What if Lin Qiye, who was unconscious and seriously injured, was behind him at that time?

Yang Gao fell silent, his heart pounding, and for a moment he felt unsteady on his feet.

Fortunately, Lin Qiye caught him.

—At that time, will we just wait to die?

But I don't want them to die.

Yang Gao felt a lump in his throat, as if something was churning in his heart, causing him immense pain.

He thought he saw a white cat jumping in front of him.

It's saying, "Pinky promise...we'll be together forever..."

It's as if I'm seeing a desperate girl saying, "Thank you, for believing me..."

"Yang Gao, are you alright?" Lin Qiye noticed something was wrong with Yang Gao.

He was extremely nervous.

Yang Gao took two deep breaths and then looked at Instructor Han.

He solemnly said, "I know I was wrong, instructor. I will definitely take practice seriously from now on."

Instructor Han also noticed Yang Gao's change, and he was surprised at how quickly the change had occurred.

He originally thought he needed to be reprimanded, needed to prove to Yang Gao that he was right...

Instructor Han had prepared the story he had been keeping hidden in his heart about the complete annihilation of a certain Night Watch squad.

But Yang Gao only needed one sentence of reminder to start reflecting.

Instructor Han glanced at Instructor Hong, who was strolling around the edge of the training field.

What I was thinking was: Is this the enlightenment you're talking about as a representative of God?

Those who have this awareness will surely become the backbone of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Instructor Han patted Yang Gao on the shoulder with satisfaction.

The moment he lowered his head, a hint of envy, imperceptible to others, surfaced in his eyes.

Is this the extraordinary comprehension of a divine agent?

It's truly something that's beyond our reach!

When he looked up again, the topic finally turned to Lin Qiye.

Instructor Han took a wooden sword and practiced with Lin Qiye.

This time, Instructor Han did not hold back, and Lin Qiye did not use his Divine Ruins.

Instructor Han unleashed three consecutive strikes, each a variation on the original sword technique.

Lin Qiye was a little dumbfounded. Although he had blocked it, he also felt that he seemed a bit "dumb".

For the first time, he felt that the word "inflexible" applied to him.

Instructor Han stopped. "You should have felt it too! Yang Gao isn't paying attention."

You haven't changed at all; you're too rigid.

"So what should I do? Practice?" Lin Qiye asked seriously.

“There are two solutions,” Instructor Han said slowly, gesturing with his hand. “The first is to spend a lot of time practicing variations of the moves.”

This could take a very long time.

Instructor Han stared into Lin Qiye's eyes and saw his pupils tremble, which brought him a sense of relief.

"Some people never reach that level in their entire lives."

Lin Qiye looked at Instructor Han in silence.

He didn't quite understand what it meant to never reach that level in one's entire life.

What do you mean?

I'm not very good with knives?

But wait a minute, Captain Chen Muye, you clearly said I have great talent...

“You have great talent, so perhaps you need to find a path that suits you.” Instructor Han’s eyes were sincere.

He deliberately spoke in a mysterious and cryptic tone: "Your talent isn't in the sword; you have to ask yourself, you have to search, you have to try and fail..."

"The path that suits me..." Lin Qiye murmured.

Seeing that Lin Qiye was deep in thought, Instructor Han said he was going to go and check on the other recruits.

Let Lin Qiye think about it carefully.

After the instructor left, Lin Qiye stared blankly at the straight knife in his hand, speechless for a moment.

He was actually experiencing a surge of emotions.

His competitiveness and his hard work;

He wanted to become strong and leave the Night's Watch in ten years;

He wanted to protect the people around him: his aunt, Yang Jin, Yang Gao...

"What if I can't find it in my entire life?" Lin Qiye asked himself.

His heart was stirred by waves.

This was the most unbearable moment Lin Qiye had encountered since seeing another side of the world.

It's not that he can't accept that he's not strong.
