Lord of the Time: I Can Reincarnate Infinitely

Chapter 185: 185: Another Misunderstanding



Caleb woke up in his wooden room, a bit disoriented and rubbing his head. He remembered the surge of power, the strange transformation, but it felt like a dream now. Determined to understand what had just happened, he sat up and glanced at his odachi, half-expecting it to have transformed into a mystical artifact or something.

With a deep breath, he attempted to tap into that spiritual connection again, trying to summon the purple sword aura. He closed his eyes, concentrated, and waited. But nothing happened. No swirling aura, no transformation. It was as if the extraordinary event earlier had been a fleeting illusion.

"Muttering to himself," Caleb mumbled, "Well, that was anticlimactic. Maybe I just accidentally awoken it and haven't had full control over it yet. Typical." He scratched his head, a mix of frustration and curiosity etched on his face.

Accepting that he had more to learn, Caleb decided to take Rozho's advice and not rush the process. He couldn't deny the potential that lay within this newfound connection, but it seemed like he had to figure out how to harness it properly. With a shrug, he got up and strapped his odachi back in its sheath.

"It seems I need to inquire about this to Rozho now. I don't just how would he would react f he knew that I awakened my sword aura just after our conversation."

Caleb couldn't help but chuckle. Of course, it was all thanks to his high spiritual attributes. He was just half-expecting at the start. Who knows if he will actually succeed in his first try? Though, he couldn't do it again now, which was a pity.

Caleb, still mulling over the mysterious events in his wooden room, decided to seek out Rozho for some guidance. He strolled through the forest, the rustling leaves and the crisp scent of nature filling the air. It wasn't long before he found Rozho, deep in concentration, practicing his three-flow sword style.

Rozho was a spectacle to behold, with one sword firmly clenched between his teeth and another in each hand. The swords seemed like natural extensions of his being. As Caleb observed, Rozho's movements were fluid, almost like a dance. Each strike was deliberate, sending ripples of power through the air.

Then came the moment that stole Caleb's breath away. With a swift and precise motion, Rozho unleashed a powerful strike, creating a fierce whirlwind that devoured everything in its path. Trees bent and swayed as if acknowledging the sheer force of the three-flow sword style. The whirlwind tore through the forest, leaving a trail of awe-inspiring destruction in its wake.

Caleb, standing at a safe distance, marveled at Rozho's mastery. It was clear that the man was not just a sword enthusiast; he was a living embodiment of the art. The wind carried the echoes of Rozho's strikes, a symphony of blades slicing through the air.

As the whirlwind gradually dissipated, revealing the altered landscape, Rozho turned to Caleb, a grin on his face. "Impressed?" he asked, the swords still in his hands and mouth.

Caleb could only nod, his eyes wide with admiration. He had come seeking answers about his awakening sword aura, but witnessing Rozho's prowess with the three-flow sword style left him in a state of profound awe.

"Well, don't be. You're far stronger than me, ain't you? I'm only superior to you in the way of sword, but in actual battle, I'll be long dead by your hands." Rozho acknowledged.

"Still, that was impressive." Caleb shrugged. Indeed, if in real battle they could use their abilities. He was confident to beat Rozho in just a matter of minutes. However, that would defeat the purpose of the spar since what they're doing was testing his swordsmanship... Not his comprehensive battle prowess.

Feeling the need to share the strange events in his room, Caleb began recounting the details to Rozho. He described the surge of power, the transformation, and the purple sword aura that briefly enveloped him. Rozho listened attentively, his eyes widening as Caleb narrated the unexpected awakening of his sword aura on the first try.

"Monster! Even I failed hundreds of times, and you just did it on one fucking try!?" Rozho exclaimed, a mix of shock and disbelief written all over his face. He had spent countless hours refining his own skills and struggling to awaken his sword aura, and here was Caleb, seemingly achieving it effortlessly.

Caleb sighed helplessly, "I can't replicate it again, no matter how much I try. It was like a one-time thing. Any advice, oh wise sword master?"

Rozho, still recovering from the revelation, scratched his head and chuckled, "Well, I guess there's always an exception. Looks like you're some kind of prodigy. My advice? Keep practicing. Even if you can't replicate it now, the fact that you've done it once means you can do it again. Just be patient and let it come naturally. And who knows, maybe you'll surpass even me one day. Actually, it seems only the master can help you now... And yes, you are now qualified to meet my master since you did such an unbelievable thing..." Rozho had a wide grin on his face and thought inwardly. 'Master would surely get a surprise!'

Bastard! I'm not a genius! I just have high spiritual attributes! Caleb vomited in his heart. Of course, he didn't voice it out. Let the misunderstanding go on if that means he could meet Rozho's master!

His mind wandered to the unique circumstances that had led to this moment. Caleb acknowledged that he wasn't some unparalleled prodigy; rather, it was the timely infusion of his unique abilities and the subsequent realm upgrades from Destiny Power System and Taboo Energy Power System that had elevated his spiritual attributes. It wasn't genius; it was a series of fortunate events that had boosted his capabilities and enabled him to awaken his sword aura on his first damn try!

With a nod and a mental acceptance, Caleb decided to go along with the misconception. If it meant he could meet Rozho's master and potentially uncover more about the sword aura, then why not let the idea of prodigious talent persist?

Caleb, now fully embracing the idea of meeting the master, responded with a confident smirk, "Well, lead the way then. I'm ready to meet the legendary master who's been shaping swordsmen like you." The journey to unlock the full potential of his sword aura was about to take an unexpected turn, and Caleb was eager to see what was up with Rozho's master.
