Vampire System- The Last Mystic Swordsman

Chapter 180 Day 4 In Planet Tioron



Rex spent his 4th day in Planet Tioron like a man on a mission.

He was really on a mission, a mission to train under the special energy surrounding this planet and improve with it to become the perfect Blood Spartan Warrior and to become the leader of the Blood Spartan Tribe.

Just an hour of training in this planet told Rex all that he needed to stay motivated to continue jacking throughout the whole day to improve himself.

The concentration of mystic energy made training so beneficial to mystic warriors, more so to mystic warriors like Rex who was experiencing it for the first time. He was like a child, he just kept on assimilating the changes.

This time, Rex really had access to the best training conditions possible to any mystic warrior. Not only did he have the perfect training chamber for swordsmen, he also had one of the best instructors.

Lord Asuka already taught him most of the intricacies about swordsmanship, all that he needed now was to fully master the basics which was the foundation to mastering the more intricate ways of swordsmanship.

General Katake became the perfect candidate to guide him to fully mastering the basics. This General was the only swordsman among the 5 Generals.

Though he had not unlocked ultimate sword domain yet, his proficiency with the sword was still far above Rex's. He already attained the level of a sword grandmaster; he was a slaughter demon on the battlefield.

Under his guidance, Rex trained and improved rapidly.

Before coming to Planet Tioron, after the rigorous training in the Sword Saint's 12-floored pagoda, he already identified the next step to get stronger.

For a long time, he had deliberated on his choices.

To improve his swordsmanship further, he either had to choose the route of getting and creating a lot of sword skills to increase his options as much as possible in a battle situation and the other route of sword mastery.

The sword mastery route involved him reducing the number of sword skills that he had, this was possible by upgrading and merging his skills together.

With these, his options with his sword in a battle situation would become less but with absolute mastery over every single one of his sword skills, he would become a more lethal threat in battle.

Today, after listening to General Katake's advice, Rex finally made his decision, he decided to choose the sword mastery route.

He made this decision after careful considerations. He was not just a mystic swordsman anymore, he was a vampire, and he had 3 mystic abilities. In a battle situation, having so many options were not always good.

He preferred lesser options that he truly mastered, this was what fit his battle style more and was why he went for it.

Even with the concentration of mystic energy in Planet Tioron, achieving his goals for sword mastery the normal way in just 1 day was impossible.

Rex was not worried though because he was prepared. Not only did he have his system to assist, he also had the sword skill fragments from the 12-floored pagoda to upgrade and combine his skills.

After saving his skill points that he got through his system for such a long time already, he had a sizeable stockpile and the time to use them finally came.

Rex did not hesitate, even as he continued training, he accessed his system.

After this great splurge, Rex's sword skills got reduced to 8.

Despite the reduction, he did not get weaker, he only got stronger. Compared to his previous self, he was far stronger now with his sword.

With only 8 sword skills, he would be able to understand all 8 skills and have far greater mastery over them than he previously had for all his skills.

Just thinking of his future battles, Rex could already feel his blood boiling hotter. "I can't wait to start the duel tomorrow".

Though General Katake did not know how Rex was able to do it, he instinctively felt the difference in proficiency that was shown by Rex.

He was curious but he did not ask as he continued guiding Rex's training.

After training for 8 hours straight, General Katake finally gave a suggestion. "By now, you already more or less used up the energy for speedy improvement that is granted when training for the first time with concentrated mystic energy".

"To improve further at the smallest time possible, you have to fight a battle, a battle that is life-threatening enough to stimulate your full potential".

"Till the duel is fought, the Clan Head forbids you from fighting any of the warriors of our tribe so your only option is setting your sights outside the tribe".

"I recommend the Dalkins".

"To become a true adult Blood Spartan, there is a passage rite for our youngsters. The passing rite is singlehandedly defeating a young Dalkin".

"If you think you're up for the task, use this dangerous challenge to measure your current strength, that is the best way to gauge how prepared you are for the duel tomorrow. Also, it will further validate you before the tribesmen".

After thinking about the possible benefits that he could get from this, Rex did not hesitate, he agreed to fight a Dalkin singlehandedly.

General Katake made the preparations and a few minutes later, 2 tribesmen of the Blood Spartan Tribe left into the dusty embrace of the desert again.

With an experienced veteran like General Katake leading the way, they only needed to spend 30 minutes wandering the wild before they found a Dalkin. Or better still, it took them 30 minutes before a Dalkin found them.

This Dalkin was smaller than the 3 adults that Rex encountered yesterday, but this fellow was still a massive beast, a horror of gigantism.

Rex steeled his nerves as he remembered the pointers that General Katake gave to him, then he exploded forward with speed. "Wish me luck".

Boom!

When the collision finally came, it was sword against flesh.

The mighty Dalkin shrieked loudly as its octopus tentacles waved crazily, apparently, this intelligent beast already went berserk after being injured.

According to General Katake, the strategy to killing a Dalkin was perfection. Perfect discipline, composure, and skills were needed to fight a Dalkin, this was because even the slightest mistake could result in death.

If any of the Dalkin's tentacles caught Rex ounce by mistake, it would spell the end of his duel since the force was enough to crush him into meat paste.

Fighting against Dalkins was the reason why the warriors of the Blood Spartan Tribe were so disciplined. Unless you loved death, it was hard not to stay disciplined when you had such gigantic fellows as neighbors and enemies.

In this battle, Rex thoroughly exceeded the limits of his mental capacity as he was able to keep perfect concentration for 2 hours while he fought this beast.

Every strike from him was full with venom and his intent to kill.

After a great battle that saw him exhaust his mental reserves completely, Rex finally emerged victorious after an explosive burst of strength using one of his new Master level Sword Skills.

With one explosive strike of the Precision Slash, the Dalkin shrieked loudly one last time before finally falling lifelessly on the desert.

Rex panted as his system lit up a notification.

Rex fainted from exhaustion after looking at his system notification, General Katake had to take him back to the tribe coven to rest.

Tomorrow was the D-day of the duel.
