Chapter 237 Avalon's New Style
[Chapter 236 Comments.]
[Keltic_Spirit: I doubt that this would be the only 'evolution' your students will go through. You yourself grow too quickly so the author likely must do so to avoid making it a solo story, which isn't the current theme.]
…
"That's what makes it good, right?" Theo smirked. "I don't think it's a mistake if the students aren't able to evolve once more since their progress alone is already so rapid that it's beyond belief.
"On the other hand, the author must think that it's good for me to have such abilities, underestimating my potential.
"I'm not that sure about the story creation process, but his decision now can easily change the future. It will feel like I'm alive in this story in the sense that my growth is actually surpassing his initial expectations. If he carelessly creates another plot that will affect my power or my students, there's a high chance it'll cause a plot hole, which will ruin the story.
"Hence, this story very well becomes a battle between me and the author. Will he be able to stick to the plot in his mind or will I get stronger to the point where I surpass his imagination?" Theo smirked while watching his students.
*Cling!*
*Cling!*
*Cling!*
Avalon kept striking the Tier 5 zombie with all he had. The Tier 5 zombie had long nails that looked like claws. A single sweep of its hand was able to slice him apart if not for the fact that his sword was strong enough to withstand it.@@novelbin@@
However, it had become rough for him since the Tier 5 zombie started to gain the upper hand due to its unlimited strength.
*Cling!* Avalon parried another strike, causing the nails to swing down to the ground. The nails actually cut the ground deep, but the zombie faced no difficulty pulling them out of the ground.
He clicked his tongue, not knowing what to do in this situation. On the one hand, he had been enhancing his power to the fullest. On the other hand, this wasn't his peak. In fact, because he was wielding this sword, he was unable to release the shock wave he produced with his fist.
'What should I do? I can do it with my fist because there is no medium. But this time, I have a sword in my hand. I have to bestow the sword my essence, which relates to another knight link trait instead of what I have.' Avalon jumped back, avoiding the nails. It had been a few minutes since he started thinking about the solution.
He could do it with his other hand or feet, but it wasn't enough to kill this Tier 5 zombie.

Avalon leaped to the side, avoiding those nails. At the same time, he noticed something different about those nails.
When he took another look at it, the nails actually never touched the ground. The soil was pulverized before the nails even touched it.
"Huh?!" Avalon was confused for a moment. The Tier 5 zombie rushed forth and struck him again like a berserker.
This time, Avalon raised his sword carefully and struck these nails to check them.
When the nails were about to actually hit his sword, he suddenly noticed the subtle change in the trajectory of his sword. It was able to absorb some momentum from his sword, allowing the nails to actually parry the swing.
"!!!" Avalon was dumbfounded. This was similar to how the bestowing trait worked. They poured the energy into an item, whether it was a sword or even normal clothes.
However, there was something weird about the flow of this energy. The zombie might be pouring energy into the nails, but the claw marks wouldn't have gone too deep. In fact, its reach surpassed the nails' length greatly.
"Wait. Is it possible?" Avalon thought of something. It also reminded him of the words that Li Wei said after that enlightenment.
He was asking about his experience with swords after that enlightenment. And Li Wei only answered with one thing. "Hmm. How do I say this? To put it simply, everything around me is a sword. Whether it's my body, the heavens and earth, or even my sword… they are swords to me."
That was right. If everything was a sword to Li Wei, couldn't the other way be possible? What if everything was a part of his body?
'Grandfather said to train your swordsmanship until the sword feels like an extension of your body. In that case…' Avalon gulped down. When the zombie came, he raised his sword and jumped into the air so that the zombie attack would launch him into the air.
With this new distance, Avalon would have enough time to test what he had in mind. He pointed his blade toward the zombie while muttering, 'The sword is just the extension of my body…'
When the energy was flowing into his arm, he suddenly pulled the sword before making a thrust. In that instant, the energy flowed into the sword and flew out as if it were a punch instead of a stab.
The energy caused a massive shock wave that forced the zombie to raise both arms to block it. But due to the shape of the sword, this energy contained much more penetration force as well as the sharpness of a blade.
The zombie let out a cry as the shock wave actually left numerous shallow cuts on its arms and pushed the body at least ten meters back.
Avalon couldn't believe it. He actually did what a normal knight couldn't. He didn't bestow the sword with his energy, he simply treated it as an extension of his hand to complete a punch instead of a thrust.
But the energy would actually change because of it. This gave Avalon another idea.
With the same thought, Avalon waved his blade while releasing the energy. The energy that flew out of the sword followed the crescent-shaped blade shape, turning it into a sword wave.
"!!!" The zombie widened its eyes and tried to block it with its nails, only to have three of its nails broken before the zombie could neutralize the sword wave.
Avalon's smile became even bigger as he couldn't help but think, 'This is it. This will be my new style.
What do you think?
