Chapter 212 Taming the Sword

Although he verbally blamed the sheepskin scroll, Fang Yue was actually grateful for its help from the bottom of his heart.

Without the sheepskin scroll, he would not have been able to defeat a Rain-rank powerhouse, and the price of using this power was inherently cruel.

It was just that he might occasionally get lucky, and the location of the sheepskin transformation wouldn't be so important.

Fang Yue looked down at the position of his right thumb, which had already been transformed into sheepskin after using the power of the sheepskin scroll a few times before.

Fortunately, it was just a thumb, which wouldn't affect his daily use.

But the heart, it seemed, had a pretty big impact.

The uncontrollable shift of his right eye into the [Ghoul Eye] state was one external manifestation.

As for other aspects, Fang Yue didn't know for the time being.

The only obvious thing was that he felt that the frequency of his heartbeat… had become very low, like those hibernating animals.

In any case, with the side effects of the sheepskin transformation stopped, his condition had finally stabilized.

Collecting his thoughts, Fang Yue looked at the Heaven Sword in front of him.

The Heaven Sword, which had just been thrown on the ground and was slowly floating up, seemed to sense Fang Yue's change, and its movements suddenly stopped.

Then…

With a crack.

The Heaven Sword split into two again and fell to the ground, motionless.

That vast sword intent also suddenly disappeared without a trace.

A divine weapon had suddenly fallen from grace and become like ordinary iron.

[It’s playing dead!]

Fang Yue's mouth twitched.

Although the sheepskin scroll's statement was a bit direct, it was indeed correct.

After the action just now, he was completely sure that the Heaven Sword had its own consciousness, and it would play dead when facing a strong enemy!

Fang Yue had felt a little strange when he killed Jian Wufeng before.

He felt that Jian Wufeng's fighting style presented two completely different styles at a certain stage.

And in the final stage, it switched back to the initial style. With the different styles, the strength fluctuated greatly.

Otherwise, it shouldn't have been so easy to kill such a powerhouse with the final blow.

Then there were all the Heaven Sword's attempts to seize control when he fell into the side effects of the sheepskin scroll just now.

Fang Yue had thought that he had cut off the Heaven Sword, this divine weapon, with a single sword, and he felt a little regretful.

Now it seemed that the Heaven Sword was just playing dead and broke itself in advance.

“This guy…”

Walking over expressionlessly, Fang Yue kicked the hilt of the broken sword.

Fang Yue clearly saw the hilt tremble as if it had been startled.

“Stop playing dead, if you keep playing dead, I’ll melt this broken sword and recast it!”

Fang Yue just thought about it, but what he didn't expect was that the black roulette behind him suddenly poured into Fang Yue's palm frantically, rose directly from the ground, and turned into a black, monstrous flame! Like a tornado of fire, spinning at high speed!

“How could this be…”

Fang Yue was stunned on the spot, and then a sharp pain suddenly came from his right eye, and black blood flowed directly from his right eye.

His heart felt like it was burning, becoming unbearably hot.

“Ugh?!”

Fang Yue subconsciously covered his heart and gasped for breath for a while before the feeling gradually faded away, and the black fire tornado in his hand dissipated at the same time.

[The power… seems to have become stronger?]

“Well… it's very strange, it seems to be related to the assimilation of the heart…”

The power of the Ghoul Spiritual Root seemed to have become even stronger because of the sheepskin scroll's assimilation of his heart.

At the same time, compared to before, calling upon this part of the power became more convenient, as natural and smooth as driving his own arm.

The strengthening of power was a good thing, but his current physical condition made Fang Yue a little worried.

And at this moment…

The Heaven Sword, which had just been lying on the ground, silently floated up from the ground, the broken sword merged and restored to its original shape, and then tilted the sword body, with the hilt facing Fang Yue, as if inviting Fang Yue to hold the hilt.

“This is… preparing to submit to me?”

As if able to understand human nature, the Heaven Sword actually nodded very humanely.

[Go! Go! Fight the boss! Recruit followers and reach the peak of life!]

Fang Yue treated the words of the sheepskin scroll as wind passing his ears.

Recalling the control of the Heaven Sword when the sheepskin scroll backfired before, Fang Yue was a little hesitant.

[Don’t be afraid! I'm suppressing it! If it dares to act up in front of the great and noble Lord Sheepskin, I’ll just eat it!]

[Hoo hoo hoo! It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten something good, the Heaven Sword should be delicious…]

The cute girl in his mind sat cross-legged on the bed, saliva dripping from the corners of her mouth, as if she was already imagining the taste of the Heaven Sword.

Fang Yue pondered for a moment.

“That’s right, if the Heaven Sword is absorbed by you, it naturally won’t be able to cause trouble.”

Crack!

As soon as Fang Yue finished speaking, the Heaven Sword split open again!

Seeing this, Fang Yue quickly said: “But if you are willing to honestly be used by me and not play tricks, I can prevent the sheepskin scroll from eating you.”

The Heaven Sword, which was still falling to the ground after splitting, closed again in an instant.

It split, but it didn't split completely.

The merged Heaven Sword seemed to be happy, circled Fang Yue twice, and then actively rubbed the hilt against Fang Yue's right palm, as if saying: I'll just rub it, I won't go in!

Seeing the Heaven Sword in this state, Fang Yue couldn't help but feel a little amused.

Although this thing was strange, this appearance was a bit similar to a child.

Holding the hilt with his right hand, that sword intent once again poured into his mind, and his understanding of sword intent immediately skyrocketed.

But after only a while, he exited that state again.

The settled sword intent gave Fang Yue a lot of gains, and his swordsmanship soared.

As for the feeling of being controlled before, it was completely gone.

The Heaven Sword seemed to have become an ordinary divine weapon, quietly being used by him.

But the sheepskin scroll didn't seem to want to let it go so easily.

[Hey Heaven! Remember, this lady is the elder, you little newcomer must listen to me obediently, and you are not allowed to act up, got it?]

The Heaven Sword trembled in fear, it seemed that it could also directly perceive the text information of the sheepskin scroll through Fang Yue.

“Are you a bad senior sister who teaches junior brothers?? Don’t scare the little ones!”

[Who, who is a bad senior sister! This paper definitely isn’t happy because of this title!!]

[Also, also, don’t forget that the little bean sprout was preparing to seize your body before, you are so relieved now, be careful of accidents!]

“Isn’t there you…” Fang Yue said softly.

[……?!]

[……]

The sheepskin scroll suddenly paused, and a cute girl seemed to appear in Fang Yue's mind, extremely shy, covering her red face with her hands, suddenly burrowing into the quilt, not even sticking her head out, and muttering in the quilt.

[I, I won’t talk to you anymore!! Idiot Fang Yue!!]

Then she unilaterally ended the connection.

“Wait! Didn’t we agree that you would suppress the Heaven Sword? Don’t suddenly stop working!”
