Ding ~ Ding ~ Ding ~ Ding ~

It was the crisp clink of metal, and before the sun had risen the blacksmith Linus had begun his day.

Linus wiped his face in the dim room.

"Today is going to be a busy day."

"..."

"..."

[BEEP ~ ~ BEEP ~ ~ BEEP ~ ~]

"Hey, wake up." A vibrant voice came from outside the door.

Liang Yujing slowly got up and stretched his body. Today, he rarely overslept, probably due to the side effects of last night's massage.

After washing up, he opened the door to find Celia standing outside, wearing a white lace apron and carrying a utensil for cooking. Her white hair was tied back in a neat ponytail, as if she had evolved from being a timid little sister next door to her into a crisp childhood friend.

"Hey, Salia, this hairstyle today matches your current outfit." Liang Yujing looked at Salia, who was standing outside the door, and suddenly said something.

"Thank you for your praise!" Hearing Liang Yujing's words, it seemed as if Salia had turned back into herself. She lowered her head with a blush and replied weakly. It's already time to eat, hurry up and go down. "

The two of them went downstairs to eat breakfast. After cleaning up, they sat in front of the blacksmith's shop, drinking morning tea.

"Hey, are you not going to take the risk today?" Salia asked suddenly.

"Mm …" I have to learn from Uncle Linus today, so I won't take the risk. "

"What is it? What business do you have with me? " Liang Yujing asked with some doubt.

"No, nothing happened!" Salia stood up and patted her buttocks.

"I'm going to study magic at Hedonmar today. We have to do our best!" Salia waved her hand and trotted over to it.

"Seeing how full of energy Salia was, Liang Yujing took a breath." "It's great to be young!" As a former modern man, he had already lived an old life in his twenties.

"I stood up and patted the cup as I looked at the one Salia placed on the side." "That girl, she's acting this way again …"

Back to the smithy

"Oh, man, are you ready?" Linus bent next door and patted his proud muscles.

"Then, let's go! "Haha!" Before Liang Yujing could reply, the old man had already dragged Liang Yujing into the depths of the Alvin defense line.

"Let's wait for the others to finish their answers, Uncle!"

Breaking free from Uncle Linus' hand, Liang Yujing was somewhat speechless as she complained.

"Oh, don't mind the details. What I'm going to teach you today is a good thing." The uncle came over and hooked his arm around Liang Yujing's shoulder and said mysteriously.

"Ah, we're here. We're here. It's really fast." They soon arrived at their destination after the idle chatter along the way.

It was still the familiar little forest, and it was still the two people from before.

"Go far, I'm afraid I'll hurt you." Uncle stood in the middle of the clearing with the wooden sword in his hand. His eyes were closed, as if he was trying to sense something.

"Whew ~ ~"

Linus slowly breathed in, sword in hand, sword at his feet.

Wind began to blow in the forest.

It was slowly growing faster.

The leaves began to fall with a rustling sound.

Linus opened his eyes and waved his sword hand forward.

"Ahhh!"

Along with the swing of the sword forward, the tip of the sword carried with it yellow ripples, and the ground split along the motion of the sword. As the swing of the sword moved forward, the tip of the sword carried with it yellow ripples, and the ground split along the swing of the sword.

The yellow sword gleam caused ripples in the air. As the arrow flew forward, it slowly dissipated in the air.

"Ah …. I'm really getting old. It's been so long since I last used this skill. I'm a bit tired." Linus waved his hand, supporting his waist and calling out somewhat fakely.

Liang Yu Jing looked at the several metres long huge crack on the ground, his eyes were dull as he thought to himself.

"This is the Wave Sword in the game right?" "I remember that the game isn't that powerful …"

"Oh, scared?" Linus looked at Liang Yujing's stupefied expression, walked to his side, and patted his shoulder.

"You're scared just like that? It's really a useless man. "

Liang Yujing had never expected that the most basic skill in the game, Earth Splitter: Wave Sword, would actually be like this. The small sword ripples in the game were on a completely different level from the bright yellow sword ray in real life.

"Hey, Uncle, this …" Is it the Wave Sword? " Liang Yu swallowed her saliva and asked hesitantly.

"Eh? Do you know what this is? Then why are you so shocked? " Uncle was a bit confused.

"I used to read it in books, but it was my first time seeing it in real life."

"Hmm? What book? There's such a record? " The uncle was curious.

"I don't know. It seems like it's a biography I read back home. However, the skill within is on a completely different level from yours, Uncle." Liang Yujing stared at the ground in front of him that had been cut open by the sword ripples.

"Is that so?" "Uncle touched his head." Then, do you want me to tell you about this skill? "

"Liang Yujing instantly turned around." "Then I'll leave it to you!"

"Mm …" "You know that this is called 'Earth Splitting Wave Slash' right? Do you have any other understanding?" Linus asked.

"In the biography, there was only the description of the skill. Nothing else." Liang Yujing took out the words he had prepared and replied.

"Is that so? Then I'll tell you."

"This skill is called 'Earth Splitting Wave Sword'. It's the most basic skill, 'Wave'. This skill required a thought to activate, so it wasn't something that could be easily cast with just a bit of strength. Swordsmen had to possess extremely strong undulation sensing to learn this skill. Therefore, many clumsy Swordsmen could not understand the power of the wave and abandoned it. However, all Swordsmen who learned the Earth Splitting Wave Sword would understand its power: the energy waves cast by one's will could destroy all defenses.

"Power of the ripples?" Liang Yu Jing rubbed his chin and tilted his head as he asked Linus.

"Right. The power of the ripples."

"You can understand the power of undulations as a type of airflow that exists everywhere. You need to use your mind to sense him, find him, then control him, then release him."

"Only with all these can I release this simple Wave Slash." Linus put the wooden sword back in its scabbard, sat down on a nearby boulder, and clapped his hands.

"Thus, the first step is to first learn how to sense fluctuations. This step requires extremely strong undulation perception to accomplish. Of course, it is possible without extremely strong undulation perception. However, that is a very small number of examples."

"Perception... "The fluctuations …" Listening to Linus' introduction, Liang Yujing's fingers, which were holding the sword, turned pale.

"Sounds like... "It seems very difficult …"
