Chapter 58 | Reincarnated as a Duke's Son, I Walk the Sword God's Path

The next afternoon, when Tyr walked onto the drill grounds, he saw those familiar iron cages again.

Looking closely, each iron cage held a lynx with cyan patterns on its body.

“Today's task is still practicing 《Baina》.”

Tina swept her gaze over everyone on the drill grounds and pointed her finger at the magical beasts in the iron cages.

“Windrunning Lynx, a First Circle wind-attribute magical beast. It's extremely fast, and it will be your sparring partner today.”

Just as Tina said this, the Windrunning Lynx locked in the cage suddenly flashed, leaping from one edge of the cage to the other.

Although the change in space was small, that split-second movement still allowed many reserves to witness the terrifying speed of the Windrunning Lynx.

At this moment, everyone realized one thing: if their mastery of 《Baina》 today did not meet Instructor Tina's requirements, this afternoon's training would be incredibly miserable.

“The objective is the same as before. Slay the Windrunning Lynx, and this afternoon's training will be over.”

“Who wants to go first?”

Actually, except for the first battle against the Bloodthirsty Magic Wolves, for the subsequent life-and-death combat training against magical beasts, Tina would directly use magic power to partition the drill grounds into many sections.

Placing the reserves and the magical beasts into different areas to fight to the death felt somewhat like a colosseum.

But today's training objective was speed, so she naturally couldn't restrict their room to maneuver.

This time, no one moved first. Instead, their gazes unanimously fell upon Tyr.

After undergoing training for this period, all the reserves had already acknowledged that Tyr was the strongest among their batch.

So whenever moments like this arose, their eyes would always land on Tyr first.

This included Silas's trio; though they were still stubborn with their words, they would deliberately avoid Tyr in their actions.

“I'll do it.”

Sensing the gazes directed at him from all around, Tyr let out a breath and stepped forward.

“Do you think Tyr can take down the Windrunning Lynx with a single strike this time, just like he did with the Bloodthirsty Magic Wolf?”

“I think it's unlikely. The Bloodthirsty Magic Wolf was frenzied, and its mobility was right there, making it easier for Tyr to seize a flaw. Moreover, that Bloodthirsty Magic Wolf hadn't entered its berserk state yet. But the Windrunning Lynx is just too fast. Unless one's strength is far superior to its own, a one-hit kill is extremely difficult.”

“No matter how formidable Tyr is, he's still human. His current realm is the First Circle, just like the Windrunning Lynx. If you say he can slay the Windrunning Lynx, I'd believe it, but to say he can crush it with a single blow? I don't believe it.”

“What if Tyr is already in the Second Circle?”

“Doesn't that sound hilarious even to you?”

Amidst the chatter of the reserves, Tyr had already arrived at the center of the drill grounds.

Without asking Tyr anything or warning him that it was starting, Tina directly opened the iron cage holding the Windrunning Lynx.

In an instant, the Windrunning Lynx turned into a green shadow and lunged toward Tyr.

Its speed was so fast that it was difficult to track with the naked eye.

The reserves watching from behind couldn't help but gasp upon seeing this.

The movement of the Windrunning Lynx inside the iron cage earlier was already fast, but they hadn't expected that it wasn't even its limit.

Seeing such speed from the Windrunning Lynx, they were already imagining whether they would be able to dodge its sharp claws once they went up.

In the center of the drill grounds.

As the Windrunning Lynx pounced, Tyr also constructed a magic circuit within his body at the very first moment.

Integrating himself into the flow of the wind, his figure also vanished from the spot.

【Baina】

By now, Tyr had fully mastered the techniques of Baina. His control over his magic power output was extremely precise, and he would no longer deplete too much magic power due to overexertion like he did back in the stream.

Merging with the wind, Tyr felt as if he had transformed into a wisp of wind between heaven and earth.

In this state, Tyr not only possessed the speed of the wind, but he could also perceive things from the wind's perspective.

He really liked being in this state, as it gave him a sensation of contemplating and comprehending heaven and earth.

He didn't even need to use his eyes to look at all. When the Windrunning Lynx approached him, the wind would deliver the message ahead of time.

Just as the Windrunning Lynx raised its claws to attack, Tyr had already left that area.

At this moment, an incredibly ornamental scene was playing out on the drill grounds.

The Windrunning Lynx, a First Circle magical beast renowned for its speed, chased after Tyr in frustration. In contrast, Tyr maintained a leisurely, stroll-like demeanor.

What felt most bizarre to Silas and the others was that, from their perspective, the Windrunning Lynx was clearly moving so fast that they could only see a cyan flash.

Yet, they could see Tyr's every movement clearly. Aside from the very first time Tyr dodged the Windrunning Lynx's attack, his subsequent movements actually seemed extremely slow.

Yet even so, the Windrunning Lynx was completely helpless against Tyr.

Standing in a corner of the drill grounds, Tina also watched this scene with great astonishment. Tyr utilizing the flow of the wind to sense changes in his surroundings was clearly the second-layer application of 《Baina》.

From this point onward, 《Baina》 was no longer just a set of footwork.

“Can there truly be someone with such terrifying talent in this world?”

Tina remembered that even Luna, who was in the very first batch, had only mastered this step after a year.

Even so, Luna's achievement back then had already astounded instructors like them.

Now, she was witnessing something even more absurd. How many days had it actually been since Tyr started learning 《Baina》?

In truth, the reason Tyr could master this layer so quickly was largely thanks to the 《Primordial Dragon Soul Refining Technique》 given to him by Ao Chen.

《Baina》 itself was a martial art that consumed an immense amount of mental energy. Whether it was sketching the complex magic circuits or merging one's magic power into the momentum of heaven and earth, both were highly taxing on one's mental energy.

If one's mental energy was insufficient, even if 《Baina》 was placed right in front of them, they could only stare at it helplessly.

As a reincarnator, Tyr possessed naturally powerful mental energy. Now that he was also cultivating the 《Primordial Dragon Soul Refining Technique》, he naturally mastered this step of 《Baina》.

After kiting it for a while, Tyr suddenly stopped and thrust his knightly sword forward.

Immediately after, a scene occurred that made the other reserves' eyes widen in shock. From their perspective, the lynx had practically thrown itself onto Tyr's blade.

The blade pierced directly through the Windrunning Lynx's forehead and emerged from the back of its head.

The moment the knightly sword pierced through, Tyr violently injected magic power into it. It exploded along the blade, directly scrambling the Windrunning Lynx's brain into mush.
