Chapter 79: 79 - Scarlet Sun Imperial Flame Sword Art

Already feeling annoyed, Iris became even more annoyed when she saw the smug look on King’s face. Watching him fly back and forth in front of her, she immediately grabbed his ear and yanked hard.

The Object Manipulation Technique was great, but it was nowhere near as strong as her pulling force. One yank directly broke King’s flying state.

"Hmph, you think knowing how to fly means you can act all high and mighty in front of me?"

"Damn it! Let go of me. I’m a rank IV cultivator, after all. Can’t you show me a little respect in public?"

Even though his ear was being pinched, King was in a pretty good mood, so he didn’t curse too harshly. His attitude wasn’t too aggressive by his standards either.

His revenge for getting attacked by the Heavenly Dao Sword could be considered settled for now. Iris now wanted to know how many more things he could learn.

"Are there any other techniques you want to learn? For example, Armament Force Projection and Spiritual Sense Pulse. These two are the most important.

As for the rest, you can look into them when you have time, or just create your own. You already have divine skills, so there’s no need to waste time creating your own sword art."

Learning more wasn’t necessarily better. Time was limited, so she advised him to learn the techniques with the most practical uses.

"Hmph, are you planning to make me read another book written by you? Dream on."

With a snort, King turned his head away. He would still learn them, just not now. He couldn’t act like he needed the books she wrote too much, even though her writing suited him very well.

"Wait, what do you mean by ’your own sword art’? You have one too?"

Having just turned away, King suddenly noticed a few ’strange’ words in what she said. Divine skills were great, but without anything to compare them to, they were pretty boring.

Now, King wanted to use his divine skills to crush every amazing move she could come up with.

Just for fun, of course. He had no lofty learning goals here whatsoever.

"Of course I do. Which top cultivator doesn’t? Anyone who doesn’t have one is just at a disadvantage."

"Are personal techniques really that important?"

He had only intended to show off, but Iris’s attitude made him pay more attention to techniques of this kind.

"Of course. Self-created techniques allow you to bring out your own strength in the most effective way possible..."

"You can think of it as having everything set up in advance. So when you use it, you just need to flip a switch, and that’s it. It gives you a huge advantage over fighting while having to think at the same time."

When it came to something important, Iris began explaining seriously again. Her easy-to-understand example immediately reminded King of his own battles.

Using divine skills felt more exhausting because they consumed a lot of spiritual power, but they were much more convenient and faster than the attacks he came up with during combat.

"I see. Want to test your technique against my divine skills?"

"Let’s try it another time. If I hold back against you, how could you feel its true power? If you come with me into the tower in the future, I’ll show you."

Seeing that King wanted to use the ultimate techniques she was proud of as stepping stones for his divine skills, Iris shot him a sidelong glance but didn’t refuse.

If he wanted to see them, he had to see them at their best. Her sword art wasn’t some kind of performance martial art, after all.

"So I’ll have to wait quite a while, huh? Even if I can’t see it right now, you should at least tell me the name of your sword art."

It was a bit of a shame that he couldn’t immediately compare Iris’s sword art with his divine skills, but the tower was no joke, after all.

King might be immune to dark qi, but Iris wasn’t. If she ended up turning into a monster because she’d pushed herself beyond her limits, it’d be a huge problem for the entire world.

"Prick up your ears and listen carefully. It’s called Scarlet Sun Imperial Flame Sword Art!"

As soon as she finished speaking, flames immediately blazed in her fiery red eyes.

The sharp, scorching sword qi, perfectly matching the style of this sword art, seemed ready to crash straight into King.

Just from her aura alone, Iris made his body break out in a sweat on instinct.

"Damn it, why does your sword art have such an overbearing name? Mine is just called divine skills..."

"Well, actually, it’s not that bad since I’m the only one with divine skills."

Facing an aura far superior to his own, King wasn’t afraid in the slightest. The only reason her aura was stronger than his was the difference in their ranks.

"Tsk, you keep showing off those few divine skills of yours. If I had a system, I’d definitely be tens of thousands of times stronger than you."

Seeing King shamelessly brag, the flames in Iris’s eyes went out, replaced by an annoyed look.

She wasn’t exactly jealous, but as a swordsman, she also wanted to have divine skills.

No matter how high her innate talent was, she couldn’t copy King’s divine skills by secretly learning them. These weren’t techniques within the realm of mortals, so they couldn’t be recreated.

King’s divine skills contained a special damage buff from the power of the Heavenly Dao. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to rely on them to defeat enemies of a higher rank.

[Master, don’t listen to her nonsense. You are my one and only master. Forever and always!]

The system was afraid King might misunderstand, so it hurriedly spoke up. Its loyalty was witnessed by heaven and earth. It would never change, even if King didn’t exist in this world.

"Hahaha, I’m the system’s master, not you. If you want to become the system’s master, go to sleep. In your dreams, you can have whatever you want."

"Hmph, cheating and still showing off."

The more Iris looked at King, the more annoyed she became, so she immediately turned around and headed downstairs. She could call him a cheater, but she couldn’t say he lacked talent.

There had already been more than enough evidence of his ’god-tier’ talent just now.

"Hey! Where are you going?"

Seeing her leave, King immediately followed. He’d already achieved his goal, so he was pretty free now. She was definitely going somewhere for fun, so he followed her, certain that wherever she was going wouldn’t be bad.

"Eat. Wait, you haven’t eaten anything since you got here, have you?"

Eating wasn’t that important to Iris, so she hadn’t paid attention to it. Thinking back now, King had never mentioned food during his experiences.

"Ehhh... If you hadn’t brought it up, I would’ve forgotten too. I don’t know why, but I haven’t eaten or drunk anything for days, yet I still don’t feel hungry or thirsty."

King felt that this was ridiculous. Eating and drinking were among the most important things for survival, yet he had actually forgotten about them.
