Chapter 7

"It's all the fault of the 'previous incarnation,' yet I, this innocent little pitiful one, have to bear the blame. How unjust!"

In three more days, it will be the mid-year competition at the academy.

If I fail the competition again, I will be expelled from the academy.

Without the protection of the school, the outcome...

Tsk tsk.

Just thinking about it makes me shudder.

I haven't found a way back to Earth yet.

I absolutely cannot just become a wandering ghost in this strange world without any clear reason.

After much thought, Lin Beichen realized there was only one way—

Strive to get a passing score in the academy competition in three days, to extend my time at the academy. With the school's protection, I can spend this period of time before graduation studying that broken phone and find a way back to Earth.

Speaking of the phone...

Lin Beichen subconsciously took out his phone and his face turned dark.

It only had 18% battery left.

Aaaaaah!

Lin Beichen was about to lose it.

What to do?

There's no power button, so I can't even turn it off to save power!

"I must find a way back before the battery runs out... sigh, this damn app store still has nothing... huh?"

Lin Beichen's face suddenly showed a look of extreme surprise.

When he opened the app store on his phone this time,

He noticed a new change.

The previously empty app store now had an app icon.

There's something in it?

Lin Beichen was overjoyed.

Upon closer inspection,

His expression became strange.

The name of the app was...

Uh, Basic Sword Technique Close Combat Three-Strike Combo?

Is this... the sword technique secret skills that Old Instructor Ding San Shi taught in class?

But how did it become an app on the phone and appear in the app store?

Lin Beichen was both delighted and surprised.

He was delighted that after three days, this broken phone finally showed some new changes.

This was a good sign.

It indicated that the phone's functions could indeed connect with this world in some way.

He was surprised that the method to control this function had not yet been fully discovered or mastered by Lin Beichen.

"Ah, if only this phone had a 'usage guide' like Huawei... Should I download this [Basic Sword Technique Close Combat Three-Strike Combo] app or not?"

Lin Beichen was a bit conflicted.

After much deliberation, he decided to download it and see what happens.

(To be continued, please turn the page)

Maybe there will be some new discoveries.

He tapped the app icon.

A prompt box appeared on the phone screen—

"Downloading this app requires 250MB of data. You currently have a maximum of 254MB of data. Do you want to proceed with the download?"

This broken phone has data?

Lin Beichen chose:

"Yes."

In the next moment, Lin Beichen felt a dizzying sensation.

Then, he felt a strange energy flow being awakened inside his body, suddenly surging.

It was mystic energy.

The warriors in this world rely on cultivating mystic energy to become powerful.

The 'previous incarnation' was a Level 1 Warrior, and had already cultivated mystic energy.

However, after Lin Beichen's soul transmigrated, he had no interest in cultivation, so he had no perception of the weak mystic energy in his body, and for three days, he let it ebb and flow.

But at this moment, Lin Beichen clearly felt the weak mystic energy of a Level 1 Warrior flowing through his meridians, circling once, and then surging into his phone through his arm.

The phone screen showed the download progress bar.

"I see, so the data for the phone is actually the mystic energy of a warrior?"

Lin Beichen suddenly understood.

What luck.

The mystic energy of the Level 1 Warrior from the previous incarnation was just enough to download this app.

The dizziness became more severe.

The feeling of being forcibly drained of mystic energy was like drinking too much cheap fake alcohol and wanting to vomit.

After about five minutes, just as Lin Beichen's weak mystic energy was almost completely drained, finally—

"Ding!"

A clear prompt sound rang out.

The [Basic Sword Technique Close Combat Three-Strike Combo] app was finally downloaded onto the phone.

It entered the installation process.

Lin Beichen panted heavily, as if he had been given a weakness buff.

The installation was completed quickly.

He unhesitatingly tapped the icon to start it.

Accompanied by a water-ink animation of a swordsman, the [Basic Sword Technique Close Combat Three-Strike Combo] app officially launched. The interface was very simple, showing a shadow figure holding a long sword and performing the sword techniques.

To his surprise, the shadow figure was himself.

The figure, facial features, and aura were exactly the same.

It was as if this video had just been filmed by him.

The techniques being performed were the [Basic Sword Technique Close Combat Three-Strike Combo].

Over and over again, in a loop, continuously performed.

Lin Beichen stared at the phone screen for half an hour, lost in thought.

(To be continued, please turn the page)

What does this mean?

What is the function of this app?

He tried repeatedly but found no other functions like 'settings,' 'permissions,' or 'save,' and it seemed impossible to stop or exit.

What a pain.

Lin Beichen was completely baffled, staring at the phone in a daze.

"Master? Are you having another episode? Master, are you okay?"

The butler, Wang, approached with a fawning smile, pretending to be very concerned.

From his perspective, he couldn't see the phone, so Lin Beichen's series of actions looked like a typical episode of 'brain disease,' with fixed eyes, curled hands, and talking to the air like a fool.

"Get lost."

Lin Beichen slapped him away.

Wang quickly dodged.

Snap.

A small tree, as thick as a child's wrist, broke with a snap.

Lin Beichen was stunned.

Wang was also stunned.

Suddenly, the old man seemed to realize something and exclaimed joyfully, "Master, you are indeed wise and valiant. It turns out you were practicing just now. That was a sword technique, right? Cutting a small tree with your bare hands, that's at least the strength of a Level 2 Warrior. Master, you've broken through!"

Lin Beichen looked at his hand.

Then at the broken tree.

The cut was quite smooth, as if made by a dull sword.

He had just slapped it casually.

How did this small tree, as thick as a child's wrist, get cut?

The key was, he hadn't used any strength.

As Wang said, cutting a small tree with bare hands required the strength of a Level 2 Warrior.

Lin Beichen was barely a Level 1 Warrior, and his mystic energy had just been drained by the phone.

"Could it be..."

A very absurd thought popped into Lin Beichen's mind.

He put away the phone, broke off a branch, and held it like a sword, then thrust it out sharply.

Whoosh!

The sound of the air being split.

He performed the [Basic Sword Technique Close Combat Three-Strike Combo].

Three moves in total.

Thrust, Break, and Strike.

Today in class, Lin Beichen hadn't paid attention to Old Instructor Ding San Shi's demonstration and explanation.

But now, he performed the three moves in a seamless, fluid manner, as if he had practiced for months. The whooshing sound of the air being split echoed, and the shadows of the branches appeared in the air.
