Chapter 228: Reclaiming

In the imperial capital, at the Heartflow Flow Swordsmanship Dojo.

Withered leaves fell in front of the main gate, covering the ground, the scenery was desolate.

Ida slowly swept the leaves with a broom.

At that moment, a figure arrived at the entrance of the Heartflow Flow Swordsmanship Dojo.

Ida turned his head and saw a familiar silhouette, his gaze froze for a moment, and in the next instant, tears streamed down his face.

“Leo, Brother Leo?”

“That’s not right!”

Ida quickly wiped away his tears, recalling the hero mentioned in rumors, and realized, “You are not Brother Leo.”

Hero Leo appeared somewhat dazed, thinking the other person recognized him, and was puzzled, only to find out he was mistaken.

He scratched his head, too simple-minded to think too much, and bluntly said, “I want to find your dojo master.”

“Master is not at the swordsmanship dojo,” Ida replied dejectedly.

“Then where is he?”

Ida explained, “Ever since Brother Leo… Senior Brother died last time, he has not appeared at the swordsmanship dojo. I think he must have gone back to the mountain to continue his seclusion.”

“I see.”

Hero Leo looked disappointed and turned away.

Looking at the familiar back, Ida was slightly taken aback and immediately called out to him, “Wait a minute, do you have something to say?”

From the back view, it was clearly Leo, and Ida did not believe that Leo had just died like that.

“I just wanted him to teach me to become stronger.”

“Why don’t you come in and rest for a while? I will find a way to notify Master.”

“Then let’s do that.”

Hero Leo did not want to leave in such a disheveled state.

He entered the swordsmanship dojo, and the disciples inside were all stunned the moment they saw him. Hero Leo was somewhat confused as he followed Ida to the living room.

“Are you saying that there is a person inside you who looks exactly like you and sent you to our swordsmanship dojo?”

During the conversation, Ida learned the reason why Hero Leo came to the swordsmanship dojo.

“Yes, but he only appeared once. I think it must be fake, after all, I was dreaming at that time.”

Ida, however, did not think so, his expression somewhat excited, and immediately urged Lily, “Quickly bring out the Sword of Asawakh.”

In less than a moment, Lily ran over holding the Sword of Asawakh.

Ida took it and handed the sword to Hero Leo.

Hero Leo was somewhat confused, gripping the hilt of the sword, and in that instant, his figure immediately vanished.

“Ida, is Brother Leo coming back?” Lily’s face showed both desire and anxiety.

Ida nodded firmly, “He will definitely come back!”

…

In the underground sword chamber, Hero Leo’s figure appeared here.

Suddenly, a terrifying storm of sword energy erupted from all directions, filling the small room, constantly slicing at his body.

“Ah!!!”

Hero Leo covered his head and screamed in pain, a massive impact assaulted his brain, and with his strength, he could not withstand the power left by the seniors of Heartflow Flow, and he fainted.

At the same time, the sword energy storm around him instantly dissipated, and Leo’s body stood up again.

He familiarized himself with his body, went to the wall, and used a small knife to carve his own drawing in a blank space.

At the moment he struck the knife, a burst of scarlet light erupted from within him, and the pain all over his body interrupted his actions.

Boom!

The sword intent in the room erupted again, entering Leo’s body to suppress this violent and strange power.

Two forces rampaged within Leo, he gritted his teeth, blood oozing from the corners of his mouth, and his hands trembled as he carved one stroke after another on the wall.

Time slowly passed, and the power rampaging within him showed no signs of diminishing.

The blood from the corner of his mouth mixed with the sweat on his body, continuously flowing down and wetting the ground.

The drawing on the wall began to take shape; it was a sharp sword, just like the old man. He had only carved half of it now, and he would need to carve the person holding the sword later.

When the final stroke was completed, Leo’s body felt exhausted, leaning against the wall, gasping heavily, and the ground was already soaked.

The scene changed, and in the internal sword intent world, a giant sword fell from the sky, a violent force of heaven and earth surged, lightning wrapped around and struck the sword body, the energy in the space transformed into a storm of annihilation, trying to crush the sharp sword.

The sharp sword released a fierce sword energy, shattering all the forces and obstacles enveloping the sword body.

The sharp sword fell onto the open ground, the fierce sword energy split the earth in two, standing steadily on the ground, connecting the heavens and the earth, resembling a tall mountain standing on the ground.

At this point, Leo’s drawing was officially completed, leaving behind his own power in the sword chamber.

At this moment, Leo had established some connection with the sword chamber; he could control the power of this sword chamber, which also meant he had officially become the core inheritor disciple of Heartflow Flow.

The surging sword intent in the small space all surged into the sword, and the sword drawing burst forth with endless light.

In front of Leo, a phantom that looked exactly like him appeared; the phantom had no emotions, holding the sharp sword, gathering the strongest power to strike down. This strike severed space, crossing from the illusion to become a terrifying blow that affected reality.

Leo opened his arms, directly receiving this strike; the sword intent swept through his body, and with an invisible force released, the other personality within him and the strange scarlet power were all erased by this strike.

Boom!

A violent force erupted from Leo’s body; this was his true power, an explosion after being suppressed for a long time, pouring out endlessly.

Leo clenched his fist, his body no longer felt that stagnation, and after much effort, he finally regained control of his body.

He wanted to laugh heartily, his elevated mood released with the fluctuations of power, and the sword chamber trembled uncontrollably, as if celebrating his rebirth.

Not only that, he deeply felt the tremendous enhancement of his own strength.

He had reached an ultra-spec class beyond SSS, a class that ordinary humans could never break through in their lifetime.

He was somewhat confused; perhaps it was the work of Sexus, just like the hero profession, but this was a good thing. The previous strike not only severed the other personality but also erased the manipulations of Sexus within him.

It seemed that Sexus and the Demon King’s group were also at the EX class; only by becoming EX could he have the power to compete with them.

Next, it was time to find Sexus to take revenge for the arrow.
