Chapter 55

Wen Long felt that his physical condition had reached its peak, but he couldn't immediately activate the Oni Transformation.

It was like a high-performance car that needed to accelerate to reach its maximum speed; before entering the Oni Transformation, Wen Long needed a certain number of sword strikes to bring his body to a critical state.

So, Wen Long slowly walked into the river, letting the water just cover his waist.

"Then, let's begin, meow."

Saying this, Wen Long began to swing the twin swords in his hands. At first, the speed wasn't fast, just the usual frequency of swinging his swords, but as time passed, the speed and frequency of his sword swings gradually increased!

"Once, twice, three times..." At first, Wen Long could count each strike.

"Eight times, ten times, twelve times..." Then Wen Long's counting method changed to counting two strikes at a time.

Later, Wen Long was too lazy to count anymore.

Kathleen, standing nearby, didn't understand what Wen Long was doing. She just watched quietly as Wen Long's speed increased, continuously slicing through the water and causing splashes.

Until Kathleen heard Wen Long shout.

"Oni Transformation!"

Suddenly, Kathleen saw a red light emanate from Wen Long's body, as if he were enveloped in a strange blood mist.

"Mr. Cat!" Kathleen also exclaimed in surprise.

As if suddenly bursting forth, Wen Long's speed reached a point where it was indistinguishable to the naked eye.

The continuously swinging twin swords kept cutting through the water in front of Wen Long, and Kathleen could see the water gradually forming a vortex.

The ancient poem "Drawing the sword to cut the water only makes it flow more" no longer applied here; Wen Long's twin swords were continuously changing the direction of the water. As a result, the vortex in front of Wen Long grew larger, and the water eventually began to split into two sides, as if it had a life of its own and was avoiding the area in front of Wen Long!

Kathleen was stunned.

"Mr. Cat actually split the water..." Kathleen muttered to herself, her eyes fixed on the incredible scene before her.

However, for Wen Long, the test was only halfway through.

"Hmm, not bad, the speed of the sword swings has increased, and even at this extremely fast speed, I can still maintain my stamina without feeling too much fatigue. This is undoubtedly thanks to the enhanced drug, meow."

But according to Wen Long's understanding, in the Oni Transformation state, not only is the speed of the sword strikes faster, but the speed of movement is also faster. So, after confirming that the speed of the sword swings had reached its peak, Wen Long began to try moving in the water!

To move at high speed in the water, one must use the extremely fast and continuous sword swings to cut through the water in front, which is why Wen Long chose to conduct the test in the river.

By observing whether the water was truly being split during movement, Wen Long could keenly discern whether he was maintaining the Oni Transformation speed of his twin swords while moving, rather than just increasing his movement speed and neglecting the sword swings.

The facts proved that Wen Long had indeed succeeded!

His body moved more flexibly in the water, but the river in front of him remained split by the twin swords. Even though he was in the river, it felt as if he were walking on flat ground. This proved that while increasing his movement speed, the speed of his sword swings was not affected!

"Not bad, even better than I imagined! Next, I need to test the special skills in the Oni Transformation state, meow!"

"Spinning Dodge!"

This is a skill that combines attack and evasion, allowing one to dodge enemy attacks while attacking. It is named for the appearance of the twin swords rotating around the hunter's body, but essentially, it involves the hunter spreading their arms and spinning to cut the enemy, making it a very practical move!

However, this time, Wen Long found that he couldn't perform the Spinning Dodge and instead delivered a very ordinary attack.

"What the heck, what's going on? Could it be that my memory of the Spinning Dodge can't be directly applied to my current body?"

Although there was a moment of doubt, Wen Long quickly identified the problem. He realized that his previously abundant stamina suddenly began to wane. The excitement that allowed him to maintain continuous movement and attacks without feeling fatigued was gone.

The overwhelming fatigue forced Wen Long to slow down, and the river that had been split by the twin swords quickly returned to its original state, leaving only the two light bone swords causing ripples in the water.

"Damn, the drug's effect has worn off... The duration of the effect is actually shorter than in the game, meow!"

Although he didn't have time to test all the powerful skills in the Oni Transformation state, this test was already quite successful for Wen Long.

"Even so, this can be considered a historic moment, right? No matter what, I should be the first Ailou cat in the world to enter the Oni Transformation state, meow!"

Thinking of this, Wen Long, who was initially a bit disappointed, began to feel proud. At the same time, he started to think about how to maximize the special effects of the enhanced drug.

"Because the duration is too short, it's impossible to use it every time during a hunt, and it's also impossible to maintain this state throughout the hunt. But using it as a game-changing tool in critical moments would be quite good, meow!"

With this thought, Wen Long felt a sense of achievement that few could match.

At that moment, Kathleen ran over, excitedly picking up Wen Long and exclaiming, "Mr. Cat, Mr. Cat, what was that just now? It looked so amazing! Can I learn it too?"

"You?" Wen Long puffed out his whiskers, putting on a haughty and disdainful expression, "You use a greatsword, it's impossible for you to do it, meow!"

But in his heart, Wen Long thought, "If you, who use a greatsword, learned the twin sword techniques, it would be chaos. If this were in the game, it would probably be a game-breaking bug."
