402: The only peerless genius

Chapter 401: The Only Peerless Prodigy

Meanwhile, in the Eternal Frost Forest in the Northern part of the Demon Spirit Continent, Lamos Mountains.

A similar deep purple lightning bolt streaked across the sky, tearing open the continuous snow clouds. Below, tens of thousands of Old Snow Wolves looked up in fear and trepidation.

Since Wolf Mother died in Asam Village, Lamos Mountains had fallen into a state of leaderlessness.

Snow Wolves above level sixty refused to submit to each other, almost all wanting to be king. Lamos Mountains quickly erupted in civil war, splitting into dozens of factions.

The previously strictly controlled granaries were instantly looted clean. Those high-level Old Snow Wolves devoured meat without considering the principles of 'take what you need, distribute according to labor'.

With Wolf Mother's death, many previously established rules were abolished. After the granaries were emptied, the naturally bloodthirsty and greedy Snow Wolves began attacking everywhere.

Not only were surrounding human villages and towns affected, but the Old Snow Wolves even dared to encroach upon the territories of other tribes.

Such chaos was the original state of Lamos Mountains.

It was Wolf Mother who managed this place in an orderly manner, and it was also Wolf Mother who ensured to the greatest extent that every Old Snow Wolf did not have to suffer hunger.

Unfortunately, Wolf Mother was already dead, and Lamos Mountains, which she had painstakingly managed, returned to its former state overnight.

Soon, the businesses of the three major Elf families were also affected. Lamos Mountains quickly gained notoriety and was classified as a 'Beast Tide' disaster!

The Adventurers Guild issued quests, and some high-level professionals accepted assignments to come and eliminate the Snow Wolves in Lamos Mountains. Leon was among them!

This young master of the Bit Family volunteered, insisting on eliminating harm for the people. However, his true purpose was actually to use the Snow Wolves of Lamos Mountains to practice Purple Lightning One Sword.

Swish—

Another purple lightning glow lit up, but this time, Leon was no longer attacking the sky. Instead, he slashed towards the Lamos Mountains below.

Rumble!!

A violent explosion sounded. After the smoke and dust cleared, a mountain peak had actually been directly leveled.

"How is it, Dick? Was my execution of Purple Lightning One Sword correct? Out of ten points, how many would you give me? Be strict with your scoring. If you're my brother, don't hold back at all!"

Hearing Leon's confident question, Dick gently shook his head and casually commented, "Two points."

"Only, only two points?!"

"Shouting at the reviewer, deduct another point!"

Hearing this, Leon couldn't hold back and immediately said discontentedly, "What did I do wrong? Whether it was the movements or the power, I did everything according to what you taught me..."

Leon truly didn't understand why the score was so low. He had just split open the sky's snow clouds with one sword strike and leveled a hundred-meter mountain peak with another!

This kind of terrifying attack sword skill was at least at the high-level tier. In some small sects and schools, it could even be considered a treasured heirloom.

Seeing Leon's unconvinced expression, Dick chuckled softly, turned sideways, and looked south into the distance. After a while, he slowly said, "The true Purple Lightning One Sword is not like this."

"Then what is it..."

Dick glanced at Leon, then glanced at the leveled mountain peak below, and shook his head, saying, "If you were less than level forty, I would give you full marks!"

"But Leon, you are already half a step into level seventy, yet the Purple Lightning One Sword you performed is only at this level. Two points is already considered an encouragement score."

"No, less than level forty..."

Leon frowned tightly, thought for a moment, and then said in a deep voice, "How is this possible? Low-level Swordsmen cannot perform high-level sword skills. This doesn't make sense!"

It is well known that professional skills such as magic, sword skills, archery, and blacksmithing have tiers. The higher the tier, the greater the magic power required to perform them.

A low-level magic professional has very weak magic power. Even if their movements are standard and their intentions are meticulous, it is absolutely impossible for them to perform a high-tier professional skill.

Because the magic power is insufficient!

It's like a high-power, high-energy consumption giant machine. If you want to keep it running, a small button battery is definitely like trying to put out a fire with a cup of water.

"Heh heh, when did I tell you that Purple Lightning One Sword is a high-level sword skill?"

Hearing Dick's intriguing rhetorical question, Leon was a little confused, but he quickly guessed, "Could it be... Purple Lightning One Sword is a Quasi God-rank sword skill?"

Dick shook his head.

"God-rank?"

Dick still shook his head.

"My Snow Goddess, this is actually a Quasi-Emperor Rank sword skill..."

Dick didn't shake his head, but said speechlessly, "What are you guessing blindly? If Purple Lightning One Sword was really a Quasi-Emperor Rank sword skill, could you even perform it?"

Just kidding, any Quasi-Emperor Rank magic skill, even for magic professionals above level 90, might not be successfully performed 100% of the time.

"Oh, I understand," Leon suddenly realized, and continued guessing, "This Purple Lightning One Sword is a high-level intermediate sword skill."

Dick shook his head.

"High-level... low-level?"

Dick still shook his head.

"Only intermediate tier? Unbelievable, such a powerful sword skill isn't even high-tier. The person who invented it is truly a genius!"

Seeing Leon's guesses getting more and more outrageous, Dick stopped playing coy and immediately revealed the answer, "It's Tierless. Purple Lightning One Sword is a Tierless sword skill."

As soon as he said this, Leon was completely stunned. He had thought of all the tiers, but he had never thought of the answer 'Tierless'.

What is Tierless?

As the name suggests, it has no tier. Whether it is powerful or not depends entirely on the person performing it. It can be like a mayfly shaking a tree, or it can be like a meteor strike.

In layman's terms, Tierless is equivalent to a normal attack!

An unadorned slash, kick, punch, arrow shot... these are all Tierless.

However, a punch casually thrown by an ordinary baby and a punch casually thrown by a Berserker Hero are both Tierless, but the effects are worlds apart.

"So... this Purple Lightning One Sword isn't some extremely exquisite sword skill? It's just a Tierless sword skill casually thrown out?"

Dick spread his hands and nodded, saying, "Leon, you should know that the essence of Purple Lightning One Sword is merely the extreme outpouring of lightning element, just like the ordinary moves you usually use with a sword: swing, chop, thrust, cleave, parry..."

Leon understood Dick's meaning and nodded like a chick pecking rice, but soon, he noticed a very incredible point.

"Dick, you just said that someone less than level forty could perform Purple Lightning One Sword and split open snow clouds and level mountains?"

Leon considered himself a sword skill prodigy. He was now half a step into level seventy, and only then could he achieve this level when performing Purple Lightning One Sword.

How could someone less than level forty be so heaven-defying? Dick must be making this up...

"Heh heh, perhaps you will meet that person soon. She is in the Central Region of the Demon Spirit Continent."

After saying this, Dick didn't say anything more. Isurna's existence was inherently a dimensionality reduction strike against her peers.

After all, even among Heroes or Witches, there existed a huge gap like clouds and mud. Dick had repeatedly verified this point through his experiences over a hundred lifetimes.

The true prodigy, or more accurately, the peerless prodigy, in today's world, there is probably only Isurna.
