1108 Annoying Bastard.
"You are doing better than I thought."
Vyriana praised as she continued to attack Nux. From her sluggish movements, it was clear that she wasn't giving her all.
However, even then, she was satisfied with how Nux's body was moving on its own, dodging and counter-attacking at the correct time, while he used [Absolute Kinesis] to lift some nearby stones and form a stone golem with them.
And as if he was trying to impress Vyriana, he even used Devouring Mist to cover the Stone Golem to give it a cooler look.
Even after 100 years, the weeb inside Nux still hadn't died.
"I didn't know it before but I am quite artistic, no?" Nux questioned.
Vyriana momentarily glanced at the Golem Nux had created and while blocking the attack that aimed to exploit the 'opening' she created while turning around,
"That looks horrible. It is almost as if it was created by someone who couldn't think straight."
Vyriana commented on the 'piece of art'
Nux created.
"Right? It is almost as if doing something else instead of focusing on creating it." Nux snorted as he jumped away, creating distance between the two of them.
"Hmmm."
Vyriana momentarily paused.
Then, she glanced at Nux and, "So you are still unable to fight without thinking huh?
Guess we need to put in more work."
Vyriana spoke as her sword appeared in her hands again.
Nux's body trembled the moment he saw that small.
He had bad memories.
And to avoid that, he quickly gave up.
"Actually, now that I think about it, I was not a very artistic person from the beginning."
"Heh."
Vyriana laughed out loud as she put her sword back into her storage ring.
She already knew Nux had managed to learn his new Battle Skill. How could he not? She has been beati- training him for 12 years now. Nux's current Mastery Level was Novice Stage and Vyriana believed that in a few months, he would be stepping into Beginner Stage.
Yes, in 12 years, Nux was still only at the Novice Stage and even that was only because Vyriana had been personally training him all this time, that was just how complex his Battle Skill was.
And the worst part?
The Battle Skill was still not completed since they hadn't added any of Nux's other abilities other than the five initial skills he had learned.
With how slow the progress was, Nux could already tell that it would take him a long time before he could finally complete and master his new Battle Skill.
Thinking about it, Nux couldn't help but sigh.
As for Vyriana, who had been observing Nux for these past few years...
She had no words to describe this man.
No, maybe there were a few words she could use.
'Annoying Bastard.'
She snorted inwardly as she glanced at him sighing at his performance.
The Battle Skill they had created, it was not some random Skill that could be tied with the Star Levels, no, it was wrong to even call it a Skill.
It was a cheat.
He was literally allowing his Body to fight for him while he was completely
independent to do whatever the hell he wanted. It may not look like much at the start, however, once his Mastery Level increases, a completely new Nux would be born.
His opponents would be facing an
opponent who never needed that extra time to think what he needed to do, the moment his eyes captured the opponent's movements, his body would move, and what's even scarier? Nux would never make a mistake and would only choose the most optimal way to end the battle.
This would allow him to not only fight against Semi Saint, but even the Saints would have a hard time handling him and all of this when Nux isn't even thinking about the battle.
If he puts his mind to it and starts assaulting his opponent using his other tricky abilities, even facing a Divine Stage Cultivator is not impossible!
A mere Semi Saint fighting against a Divine Stage Cultivator, Vyriana didn't wish to admit it, however, she knew that once this Technique was completed, it would surpass even her own Battle Skill.
In truth, this was a technique that Vyriana had come up with when she stepped into Divine Stage. It was just a thought, however, since she had already formed her Law of Self and it was linked with her actual Battle Skill, she couldn't work on this technique herself.
This made her frustrated, she already knew that the technique in her mind was much stronger than her current technique, however, seeing such a strong technique rotting away...
Of course, Vyriana tried to pass this technique to many others, she passed down those 5 Sword Techniques to other cultivators, telling them to learn them, however, all of them failed to combine those techniques using the Silent Vessel.
And it wasn't their fault either, it may sound simple in theory, however, what Vyriana was aiming to do was to create more than thousands of new neural paths between a cultivator's brain and different muscles in his body.
This required an enhanced body with a nigh-perfect, perfect body structure, perfect bones, muscles, tendons, blood vessels, nerves, and a heightened brain that was capable of handling such body and the technique's load.
Obviously, the cultivators whom Vyriana approached were all renowned geniuses of their time, geniuses whom even the Seven Heroes couldn't match, however, the foundation required to complete the technique she had come up with was... impractical.
Even the beings who were hailed as once-in-a-hundred-thousand-years geniuses were helpless, Vyriana had already given up on her technique, however, when she saw Nux's recreated body after he stepped into Semi Saint Stage, her hope was rekindled.
A Body with perfect body structure, perfect bones, muscles, tendons, blood vessels, nerves, and a heightened brain that was capable of handling such body and the A Body that was perfectly capable of learning literally any Skill in the world.
In other words, if Nux couldn't combine those 5 skills using Silent Vessel, no one else in the world could.
And Nux didn't just do it, this man learned that skill in a mere 6 years and is now stepping into the Beginner Stage in the 12th year.
A technique that even the most treasured geniuses of the Order couldn't complete, let alone learn even after trying their all for centuries, this monster did it in a few years, and even then,
He still had that disappointed look on his face.
Vyriana finally realized why her disciple loved her husband with all her heart yet still called him the most frustrating man to be with. This bastard...
Seeing him acting like this, Vyriana wanted nothing more than to slap him to death.
However, in the end, Vyriana controlled herself, then hiding her emotions, she glanced at Nux and,
"For the next 5 years, you will be hunting the beasts here."
"Huh? Why?"
"Because I ordered you to."
