Needless to say, battles of life and death were the best in allowing one to grow swiftly. Up until this point in the battle, not only had Tang Ye’s Basic Sword Technique become a sort of instinct to him, he’d gradually become accustomed to the Sword Servant’s speed. Even though he was still in a disadvantaged position, he wasn’t in such a sorry state. Moreover, he’d even forced the Sword Servant back a few times! This allowed Tang Ye to prove his way of thinking once more, and this way of thinking was that only life and death battles were able to allow one to grow quickly and become strong. Tang Ye believed that if he fought a version of himself from before he entered the Sword Servant Pagoda, then that version of himself would definitely be utterly crushed in battle! Without him noticing, another four hours had passed. Tang Ye had gradually moved from being in a disadvantaged position to being on par with the Sword Servant. The two of them exchanged blows repeatedly, and the sound of metal colliding was the only melody on this level. After another six hours passed, Tang Ye had completely occupied an advantageous position, and the Sword Servant was completely suppressed by Tang Ye. It was just like the situation when Tang Ye had just started the battle with this Sword Servant, and the only difference was that the roles had been exchanged. After fighting for such a long time, not only did Tang Ye show no signs of exhaustion, he’d become more and more excited instead, and he felt more and more energetic. Because he noticed that during this battle with the Sword Servant, his strength was improving extremely swiftly. Now only had his understanding of the Basic Sword Technique deepened, he’d even become completely familiar with the Sword Servant’s moves. Know one’s enemy as well as one knew one’s self. Tang Ye had already completely seen through the Sword Servant’s moves and its habits when attacking, so he’d occupied an advantageous position and completely suppressed the Sword Servant in battle. The Sword Servants in the pagoda had their own advantages, yet they had disadvantages as well. It mainly depended on the Sword Servant’s opponent. If its opponent was one of those comparatively weak youths, then its flaws wouldn’t be exposed because it possessed an extremely extraordinary combat instinct and lacked any negative emotions. All of these were its advantages. However, if it encountered an opponent like Tang Ye, then its flaws would be exposed. For example, Tang Ye could improve his strength in battle and become stronger, whereas, the Sword Servant was incapable of this. Its cultivation and combat instinct were fixed at a certain level, and if it couldn’t deal with Tang Ye right away, then it was bound to suffer. This could be said to be the Sword Servant’s weakness. Otherwise, if a human First Heaven Realm expert that possessed the Sword Servant’s combat instinct fought Tang Ye, then Tang Ye would definitely lose. Because while Tang Ye was improving, his opponent would be improving as well, and while Tang Ye became accustomed to his opponent’s moves and habits, his opponent would do the same as well. Under such circumstances and coupled with the fact that Tang Ye’s cultivation was lower, it would definitely be impossible for Tang Ye to obtain victory. So, the Sword Servant’s advantages and disadvantages depended on its opponent. If one was stronger, then the Sword Servant would be covered in flaws, and if one was weak, then the Sword Servant would be covered in strong points. After another two hours passed, at a certain point in time, Tang Ye grabbed onto a lethal flaw of the Sword Servant’s, and he disregarded his life as he stabbed his sword through the Sword Servant’s chest. However, he paid the price for this as well because his left chest had been pierced by the Sword Servant’s sword as well. Tang Ye heaved a sigh of relief as he gazed at the Sword Servant that was gradually dispersing, and then he sat on the ground and gasped for breath. This battle could be said to be the most arduous battle he’d had in his entire life, and even the battle with the grey wolf wasn’t so arduous. Because during the battle with the grey wolf, he could flee when the situation wasn’t good, but he couldn’t flee here! He could only fight to the death here! Two hours later, Tang Ye opened his eyes and glanced at his left chest. The bleeding there had already stopped, and there was only a small scar left there. It was already fine.Exactly what sort of existence is that tiny vortex within my body!? Tang Ye spoke in a low voice as he gazed at the injury. Needless to say, the golden Profound Energy created by the tiny vortex was too terrifying. No matter if it was utilized to recover or attack, it was extremely effective! Nevermind, I’ll cross that bridge when I get to it! Tang Ye didn’t think any further about this. He glanced at the staircase, and then sat down cross-legged and started to recover the injuries in the other parts of his body. The 19th level was already so terrifying, so how formidable would the 20th level be?
