Chapter 257 : Clear Ring of the Sword
Chapter 257: Clear Ring of the Sword
Pressure, so much pressure!
Sweat kept dripping from Gauss's forehead.
The bandages wrapped around his limbs were very lightweight in size, yet their weight was astonishingly heavy.
The reason was the black stones engraved with simple runes attached to them. By activating the runes, the weight could be adjusted at will. Afterwards, Rachel began putting him through intense strength training.
E̊n u m а
Just one set of training nearly knocked Gauss into a daze.
What was I here for again?

Forget it, let’s just train first.
By the time the training ended, Gauss was drenched in sweat from his back.
He lay down on the smooth ground without regard for his appearance, gasping for air.
Sweat dripped into his eyes, blurring his vision.
Wе bno̊v̈ е l Еǹůmа́
Suddenly, within his blurred vision of the ceiling, a woman’s face appeared.
「Not bad.」
「Stronger than I expected.」
「I acknowledge you now.」

Rachel finally gave him her approval.
「Even for a warrior, your physical aptitude is excellent.」
Е́ n̈ uṁ а̂ .i̊ d́
Although it couldn’t be compared to her, comparing with her in the first place was unfair.
One had to know, in this city, there were almost no people who could surpass her in terms of physical prowess.
「Heh heh.」Gauss panted heavily.
Fortunately, aside from strength, his stamina and bodily recovery ability were also outstanding.
After a brief burning sensation, his body, like a precision machine, quickly readjusted.
As his breathing gradually calmed, he slowly rose from the ground.

「Do you feel anything?」
Not far away, Rachel, sitting cross-legged on the floor, asked with a smile.
Gauss felt the changes in his body. That extreme fatigue was being replaced by a strange sense of ease, as if every inch of muscle and bone in his body was breathing, yearning for more.
He lightly moved his arms.
「My body... feels lighter?」Gauss said uncertainly.「It seems like I have better control over my body, and the strength feels a bit more condensed.」
It was a subtle sensation—not a sudden spike in strength, but a deeper transformation in control and precision.
Ẁе̌b̀nо ṽ е̊ l Еñ umá
「Exactly!」Rachel snapped her fingers crisply in approval.
「Surpassing your bodily limits, letting your muscles and bones grow through destruction and recovery, will give you better control over your body. Also...

「When you stay mentally focused while resisting fatigue, your mental energy will also be trained.」
Reminded by her, Gauss immediately looked within himself.
Sure enough, his magical energy had become more active, seemingly syncing in rhythm with his body.
Rachel nodded.
Ẅ е̇ b ň о v еl̊ Ӗn umӓ
「The mind resides within the body. They’re two sides of the same coin—mutually influencing and achieving one another.」
Gauss nodded in agreement.
「However, it’s best not to do this kind of muscle-tearing training too often.」Adele, who had been watching from the side, spoke up at the right moment.
Worried Gauss might go overboard with training.

「Before the training, President Rachel gave you Dragonblood Moss Extract. It’s a very precious recovery potion,」Adele explained.「It greatly accelerates the recovery of muscles and bones, ensuring that extreme training won’t leave hidden injuries or damage your physical foundation.」
Gauss showed a look of realization.
W e b̂ ń_оv̆ е l̈ Еn̂umа̇
No wonder Rachel had handed him a cup of green liquid before the training.
「Dragonblood Moss?」The term caught his attention.
It sounded extraordinary.
「Mhm. It’s a rare moss that only grows where dragons have fallen, brimming with powerful life energy. Just that one cup earlier was worth a fine piece of magical equipment.」
Upon hearing this, Gauss immediately turned to look at Rachel sitting on the floor.
Seeing Gauss look over, she simply waved her hand dismissively.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Looking as though it was nothing worth mentioning.
However...
「Feeling like the extract’s effects weren’t all that great?」She seemed to have guessed what Gauss was thinking.
Adele added on.
「Its effects are gradual and very gentle. That’s what makes it so precious. For some time going forward, your physical training will benefit greatly from it.」
「Especially since you're likely still refining your second profession. It can help accelerate the process.」
Е̊ñ ŭm̆_а. іd̃
「Understood.」Gauss looked at Rachel and expressed his sincere gratitude:「Thank you, President Rachel.」
He hadn’t expected her to be so generous.

Clearly, they weren’t close at all—this was their first meeting.
He couldn’t help but feel a little puzzled.
Why was she treating him so well? There had to be a reason, right?
「Haha! No need to thank me.」Rachel laughed heartily.「Someone else already paid for you.」
Е n̊ ù m̀а̌
「Who?」Gauss asked instinctively.
Rachel paused for a moment.
「I can’t say. You’ll find out in due time.」
「Regardless, I still truly appreciate President Rachel’s guidance.」Gauss gave a formal bow.

「It’s nothing. If you run into trouble later, feel free to come to me for help.」Rachel replied heartily.「Oh right, things are a bit messy in Sena City lately. Don’t get involved.」
「So, how was it? How was it?」
Ē n̈u m̈ ӓ . ïd́
Arya widened her eyes and looked at Gauss, curiosity written all over her face.
The four members of the small team had gathered in Gauss’s room, where the yellowed leather suspected to be a Treasure Map lay on the oak table.
He had taken time yesterday to purchase a 《Comprehend Language》 spellbook from the Adventurer’s Guild skill store.
Since Tier 1 Spells were already very easy for him at this point—
It barely took any time before he proficiently mastered the spell.
「What does it say?」

Even though Captain Ferne had told them not to get their hopes up, saying that most Treasure Maps circulating in the world were fakes, as long as there was even a sliver of possibility, it was enough to stir their interest.
After all, that’s just human nature.
Otherwise, how could those merchants keep fooling people over and over again?
「Let me see...」
Gauss cast the spell 【Comprehend Language】.
He gently placed his palm over the blurred cinnabar-drawn script beside the leather map, focusing intently.
Èn̈ ûm ȧ_
A faint magical glow flowed from his fingertips—
Then seeped into the characters and symbols.

The spell's glow flickered uncertainly across those markings.
After about ten seconds or so,
He pulled back his hand, brow furrowed slightly.
「I was able to decipher some of it, but it’s incomplete,」Gauss shook his head.
Ёn̊ u̇ m а
Some of the symbols appeared to be some kind of cipher rather than standard written language, so they couldn’t be decrypted by this spell.
「When three stars fall into the Eye of the Fire Dragon, the fire in the mirror shall ignite the path of truth. Amid moonlit whispers, pass through the Wall of the Dead’s Sigh... and offer... to reach the Golden Country.」
Gauss shook his head.
Completely clueless—the text didn’t specify any concrete location.

Which made it impossible to match the partial abstract map on the leather to any known place.
「No idea,」Arya shook her head.
Ẃ é b̀ n̈õ vе l̆ Еnům̂ ӑ
Shadow and Serandur were equally clueless.
To be honest, apart from Gauss, the others had very little exposure to formal academic education.
They were basically illiterate in another world.
「Feels like it’s just putting on a mysterious front,」Gauss said, holding up the leather map for another look.
At the most crucial point, some kind of cipher had been used, making the content indecipherable.
The appearance of a cipher was tricky—it could be an arcane script, or it could be meaningless—
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Just random shapes made up by the creator, which would be why Comprehend Language couldn’t decipher it.
「Sigh...」Arya slumped over the table and let out a sigh.「I really thought it might be a clue to some massive treasure.」
She didn’t lack petty cash these days—but she lacked big money. If a treasure could bring her tens of thousands of Gold Coins or high-tier Magical Equipment, that would be perfect.
The treasure on such maps, if real, would never be a small sum.
The four of them continued studying the Treasure Map—
Including, but not limited to: dripping blood, heating, dripping water—all sorts of random methods, but nothing abnormal appeared.
Wеb̈ ñо̀ v ѐ l̄ Е.n um а
「Forget it, let’s put it away for now.」
Gauss shook his head.

「We’ll take our time studying it later.」
Even now, they still didn’t know whether the map was genuine or fake.
He had used Identification Spell to test it and got a very underwhelming result:
「A piece of tanned leather map suspected to be a “Treasure Map.” The material itself carries no special magical residue. It seems to contain encoded information in some kind of cipher.」

After putting away the Treasure Map—
Everyone dispersed to go handle their own affairs.
After each Commission Mission concluded, everyone would take time to train and cultivate, digest the gains from adventuring, and improve their various abilities.
Gauss was no exception.

Although their Adventurer Commissions had temporarily ended, he had become even busier.
Especially since yesterday—after taking a cup of Dragonblood Moss Extract, his body was in an ideal state for physical training. Naturally, he seized the opportunity to intensively practice White Falcon Swordsmanship, hoping to accelerate the condensation of his Sword-related Secondary Profession.
E n̆ǔmа. і̂ d
In addition to that, he also continued working on constructing the spell models for Fly and Fireball.
He was super busy.
He had even told Arya and the others that he probably wouldn’t be going out for commissions for the time being.
They didn’t object—
Because they too had many skills and abilities that needed further training.
Several days quickly passed.

Fourth Floor of the Adventurer’s Guild, in a spacious room.
「Boom!!」
A rapier wreathed in white light and vibrating rapidly pierced forth—
Carrying the results of Gauss’s days of intense practice, it thrust toward a burly woman with explosive force.
That strike—was terrifying.
Even the air around it distorted, pushed away by the pressure of the thrust.
Еn̊u ḿ а.ìḋ
White Falcon Swordsmanship was already an extremely sharp and penetrating sword style. Coupled with the Windchaser’s 【Combo】 and 【Wind Pressure】—
Two effect boosts, and at this moment, he also activated 【Hardened Scales Bloodline】. Although his right hand hadn’t transformed into claws, the energy-wrapped scales still significantly enhanced his arm strength.

With such stacked power, even Steel Armor would have trouble withstanding it.
However—
「Thud—」a deep, dull sound rang out.
Gauss’s all-out thrust did not achieve the expected result.
Ѐ nuḿӑ
The feedback transmitted through the rapier's hilt felt like stabbing into the incredibly tough hide of a dragon.
Unbelievable resilience and solidity!
All the force, vibration, wind pressure, and sword energy accumulated in the blade were forcibly smoothed out and nullified by a deep, immovable force!
A massive backlash came through the sword hilt, numbing Gauss’s grip.

His body was involuntarily knocked backward.
He staggered a few steps before barely managing to stabilize himself.
Е ǹu_m̈а̌
Yet Rachel, who had taken the full brunt of the attack head-on, still stood there steadily.
If one looked closely, they’d even notice—she hadn’t moved a single step.
She had simply raised a solid arm, casually using the outside of her smoothly-muscled forearm to forcibly receive the Falcon Thrust.
Aside from a small tear on her training outfit’s sleeve, exposing a patch of white skin, there wasn’t a single mark on her body—not even a red welt or white line.
「Your force scattered a bit. Not enough power,」Rachel lowered her arm.
The tear on her sleeve, astonishingly, began to self-stitch as if alive, restoring itself in an instant.

She didn’t pay the detail any mind and continued offering Gauss her critique.
「The essence of the Falcon Thrust lies in condensing all your strength and willpower into the sword’s tip—unstoppable, explosive in an instant. You looked fierce just now, but your initial burst was off the mark.」
As she spoke, she stepped forward.
That towering figure moved so swiftly it made the entire room hold its breath.
「Did you feel the difference?」
「Your shoulders are too stiff.」
En̄ūm а. і d̀
「That will make all your subsequent strikes lack fluidity. You’re just forcing power through brute strength, unable to unify everything perfectly.」
「Here! Here! Here! And here! All wrong.」
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
She extended her finger, pointing through the air at Gauss’s waist, scapula, elbow, and wrist.
Each point she made—despite no physical contact—caused a slight numbness at the exact spot, and Gauss could clearly feel where she meant.
「This sword technique, did Adele teach you?」
「Yes.」
Е̊ ǹu̇ m̈ a . і ḋ
「Then she didn’t teach it right,」Rachel shook her head.
「Watch closely. I’ll demonstrate it once.」
「Okay.」Gauss nodded, holding his breath and locking his gaze tightly onto Rachel.
She casually picked up a practice rapier from a weapon rack nearby.

Gauss could clearly sense that all the imposing energy around her had instantly retracted. Her surging life energy and power fluctuations were forcibly suppressed, bringing her physical condition down to almost exactly the same level as his own.
It sounded unbelievable—but she did it.
Éñum̊ а.і d
With an incomparably refined and subtle control over her body.
What followed had no earth-shaking momentum, no dazzling brilliance.
She merely took two seemingly casual steps forward, flicked her wrist—
The practice sword tore through the air, releasing an extremely brief and sharp tearing sound.
The air at the sword tip seemed to explode with a sonic boom.
A tiny pocket of space before the blade had been compressed to its limit—and then burst open!

All of her strength, willpower, kinetic force, and momentum had been perfectly focused into a single point.
「Tsssh— the gap is clear!」
Gauss could immediately see the difference between them.
「Did you understand?」
Rachel sheathed her sword and looked toward Gauss.
Gauss didn’t answer right away. Instead, he closed his eyes.
Е̊n̈ ûm а. їd
In his mind, he replayed every detail of Rachel’s strike.
It was a kind of state—rather than blindly emphasizing explosive strength, what he needed more was to twist all of his strength into a single unified force,
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Then find a way to amplify the burst from each part.
He immediately began to compare his own movements, replaying them in his mind alongside Rachel’s.
And in that contemplation—his thoughts grew ever clearer!
It was as if he had entered some kind of enlightened state.
Wеb̈ ñо̂ v̇ еľ E n̄ um а
After a long moment, he slowly opened his eyes.
「I... I think I get it a little now.」
Gauss attempted a thrust.
The sword struck through the air.

This thrust—not only did it fall short of Rachel’s example, it didn’t even match the power or momentum of his earlier attempt.
Yet Rachel nodded repeatedly.
Е ńu_m̊ a.id̊
「Yes, that’s it. You really are a talented genius—one hint and you’ve grasped it.」
Gauss’s hands didn’t stop because of the praise. He continued practicing, searching for the right feeling.
Rachel’s strength was immense. Even though she hadn’t mastered White Falcon Swordsmanship, she could still—just by observing Gauss’s form and condition—offer him incredibly detailed guidance.
One strike!
Two strikes!
Three strikes!

Gauss’s rapier repeatedly thrust into the air.
Time passed unnoticed.
Until finally—he unleashed a thrust.
「Shoom!!!」
The sword tip, wrapped in white light, exploded into a sonic boom.
「I did it!」
Е́n ū m а̊ .і̄ d
And it wasn’t just a sonic boom—
A streak of white light blasted forth from the sword tip!

「White Falcon Swordsmanship 1v4 (1/100)」
The skill proficiency surged forward by several points—instantly breaking through to Level 4.
And at that very moment—
Within Gauss, an unprecedented sensation surged outward from deep inside his body!
Ẃ_ё b̈n ӧv̂ӗ l̄ _Е̃n̆umа
That once elusive, intangible force was now completely awakened by this perfect Falcon Thrust.
A powerful Qi erupted wildly from deep within him—
This Qi wasn’t magical energy, nor mere fleshly power.
It was a sharp energy, like a will to sever all things.

Flowing through the meridians in his arm, like countless rivers converging into the sea—it rushed madly toward his sword-wielding right hand, gathering at the blade of Windchaser!
「Vmmmmm!」
