Seizing the BOSS Template at the Start

Chapter 767: Chapter 385: Reincarnation, Dream Realm

In the recurring cycles of memory, Alchemy’s gaze began to take on a wildness.

His swordsmanship was becoming increasingly refined.

If he could see the panel, he would find that the Basic Knife Skill on the panel had quickly advanced to Advanced Knife Skill, with the skill level rapidly rising towards a Master-level Knife Skill.

The price for this rapid ascent to becoming a swordsmanship master was the diminishing sense of self in Alchemy’s eyes.

At this moment, he had begun to think with Alex’s mindset, which resulted in further acceleration in his swordsmanship. It wouldn’t take long for the Alchemist to become a Swordsmanship Grandmaster.

The only difference from a normal Swordsmanship Grandmaster is that his true self would find it difficult to comprehend Sword Intent. The Dark Side might be possible, but everything about the Alchemist was ill-suited for the path of a Warrior.

As the scene cycled back once more to that flame.

Alchemy slightly tilted his head back, as the flame brushed past the tip of his nose, intense heat accompanying it.

This flame had the smell of burning corpses, making it rather uncomfortable.

Alchemy stepped back again, and a fiery figure’s sharp claws slashed through the void.

Clang~

The Bone Blade blocked the sharp energy from the claws, and the powerful force pushed Alchemy back repeatedly, leaving two deep gashes in the ground with his feet.

His eyes were filled with ferocity and vigilance, as under the moonlight, a peculiar cat with a human body, a cat’s tail, covered in fur, and enveloped in red flames watched Alchemy with murderous intent.

In his memory, Alex killed this Red Flame Cat Race tribe for some resources while their strongest member was out hunting.

And now it had returned, marking Alex’s first near-death experience.

Alchemy felt his body, and his eyes gradually turned indifferent.

As in countless times before, he couldn’t use any of ’Alchemy’s’ abilities.

But it didn’t matter. He had enough skills now to defeat this Cat Race before him.

He slightly lowered his body, his left hand slightly clenched into a fist, forming a bone blade shaped like a dagger.

His right hand placed the long blade beneath the dagger.

The next moment.

The Cat Race and Alchemy both disappeared.

Zing~

Boom!

In the air, a piercing collision sound erupted, causing the surrounding wild earth to tremble slightly, dense slashes destroying the ground.

Bang bang bang...

In the void, no figures could be seen; only continuous collision sounds and sharpness rampaged.

Alchemy felt the primal instinct of hunting collide with swordsmanship techniques.

In fact, often the skills of the Red Flame Cat Race were the only skills; each of their attacks aimed to kill the opponent.

Every attack was executed in the most energy-efficient way to inflict maximum damage, with no techniques. In the end, that was the best technique.

But why was it that in the end, it was Alex’s skill that prevailed?

The reason is simple, because swordsmanship is the same.

Alex’s swordsmanship was learned from countless life and death battles.

He integrated the techniques of Hunters, Prey, and all combat techniques.

Each move was like that of a beast, but with added routines and energy manipulating, making this beast-like killing move more challenging to defend and counter.

This is what swordsmanship initially looked like. In truth, swordsmanship is the same, or rather, all combat professions’ battle techniques are ultimately the same.

It boils down to minimizing one’s injuries and killing the opponent.

Only intent is the essence of these skills’ ascension: Sword Intent, Saber Intent, Fist Intent, while beasts have only Killing Intent.

In the collision with the Cat Race, Alchemy’s body gradually suffered damage, and crimson blood gushed from the wounds.

The opponent’s technique surpassed Advanced Knife Skill techniques.

And the other attributes also crushed Alex’s body.

This caused Alchemy to gradually fall into a disadvantage.

But as his sword techniques continued to rise, Alchemy seemed to sense something.

”In the end... is there a difference?”

The soft murmur was drowned in the clash as Alchemy slightly retreated by half a body length, his left hand’s dagger meeting the claw’s collision.

Clang!

The long blade slashed upwards, an extremely powerful intent burst out, at this moment Alchemy truly seemed to become Alex. That Sword Intent was fierce and surging, like a top-level Hunter pouncing on its prey; everything of Alex manifested in this strike.

Heaven and earth froze at this moment. The vertical pupils of the Red Flame Cat shrank to pinpoints, not understanding why a simple collision had suddenly transformed into this?

It seemed like it was going to die.

But isn’t combat about exhausting the opponent’s stamina and magic power?

This intent seemed...not just Killing Intent!

Zing~

The blade light flashed, and the Catman froze in place.

Sharpness flickered in Alchemy’s eyes.

He seemed to grasp something crucial.

But he still couldn’t control his own body, as if following a storyline, he could only follow this body, ceaselessly practicing swordsmanship, fighting, comprehending Alex’s swordsmanship.

Until...the next life-and-death crisis arrived.

Boom!

This time, before Alchemy could react, an immense sense of crisis enveloped him. Instinctively, he darted forward.

But the next moment, he was pinned down by a beast.

Zing~

Sword Intent reappeared, the beast’s wail wasn’t fully emitted when suddenly more danger descended.

His vision darkened, his perspective slowly shifted to lying on the ground.

That just now was...an Ancient Fierce Beast...Gluttony!

In some extremely ancient records, this race seemed to have been wiped out by the Ancient Gods, but later it was found in pieces by a newly risen force and eventually revived.
