Zombie Bodyguard-Chapter 1597 - 1594: A Good Beginning

"It moved, the water surface just moved!" Lin Tian couldn’t help but shout, the surprise came too suddenly, with no mental preparation, and only after shouting did he realize he had yelled out loud, not spoken in his head.

"Lin Tian, why are you shouting so loud?" Sure enough, Xiao Manxuan’s curious voice sounded from outside.

Lin Tian blinked his eyes and had to lie, "Oh, nothing, I just won a game, got a bit excited."

"So weird, playing games in the bathroom at night," Xiao Manxuan muttered softly.

After waiting for a while, not hearing Xiao Manxuan speak again, Lin Tian let out a sigh of relief, and only then did he focus back on the water basin.

"Did you see that? The water surface moved just now, the Crescent Blade must have reacted," Lin Tian said excitedly, suppressing his inner excitement.

"Master, maybe it’s because your saliva dropped in, that’s why the water moved," the Sword Spirit said provocatively.

"Damn it, can’t you talk properly?" Lin Tian cursed.

However, Lin Tian didn’t further chastise him but closed his eyes, focused his mind, and at the same time, activated the super clairvoyance, enveloping the view over the Crescent Blade.

As soon as the perspective touched the Crescent Blade, Lin Tian felt a dizzy spell; the dizziness came quickly and vanished quickly.

What happened? Lin Tian was startled, being a Yellow-eyed Zombie, dizziness shouldn’t happen easily.

To prevent any accidents, Lin Tian used the super clairvoyance to scan himself comprehensively, and indeed found something different.

In the image in his mind, he saw the shadows of three Crescent Blades, quietly suspended. When he saw these three shadows, it was like a burst of inspiration, a mysterious connection arose deep within his mind that vaguely linked to the Crescent Blade in the water basin.

Similar psychic connections were not new to Lin Tian. When the Heavenly Tribulation Sword was forged, he established a mysterious connection with it.

Lin Tian extended his hand over the water surface, palm down, simultaneously focused mentally, silently thinking to the Crescent Blade: "Rise!" It was a silent mental command.

A few ripples appeared again on the water surface, although faint, Lin Tian could clearly see under the super clairvoyance that the ripples’ origin was the three Crescent Blades!

"Master, there really is a reaction!" The Sword Spirit exclaimed in surprise, startling Lin Tian, who was fully concentrated.

This time Lin Tian didn’t chastise it, instead, he got excited too. This was the first time the Crescent Blade had changed after so many sacrifices.

"Master, try to see if you can make the Crescent Blade fly," the Sword Spirit suggested eagerly.

Lin Tian was also eager. He concentrated again, attempting to control the Crescent Blade with that mysterious connection.

Fly for me! Lin Tian’s spiritual power burst forth suddenly like a flood, and the Crescent Blade in the water shook violently, splashing all around, three shadows flew out and crashed towards the ceiling.

Bang... Bang... Bang

A few crisp sounds, the bathroom suddenly went dark, and the surrounding light dimmed completely, leaving only weak moonlight streaming in through the window.

"Damn, I broke the ceiling light!" Lin Tian exclaimed in his mind, knowing those crisp sounds were the breaking of the lampshade and bulbs.

Without the light, the bathroom turned dark. Luckily, Lin Tian had night vision ability and could see the three Crescent Blades just landed nearby, with glass fragments scattered around.

"Lin Tian, what’s that noise?" Xiao Manxuan’s puzzled voice came from outside, followed by the sound of the door opening, and then her more surprised voice: "Why isn’t the bathroom light on?"

The bathroom door was half frosted glass, allowing visibility of whether the light was on.

"Uh, I don’t know either, the bulb suddenly shattered." Lin Tian casually found an excuse, considering it’s just a student apartment, poor-quality products during renovation seemed plausible.

Whether Xiao Manxuan believed it or not, she instead became worried: "Are you okay?"

"I’m fine. If you’re not convinced, come in and take a look." Lin Tian intentionally said.

"Pfft, I’m not coming in, you pervert!" Xiao Manxuan heard Lin Tian speaking energetically, realized he’s alright, flirtatiously replied, and ran back to her room, fearing Lin Tian would rush out without clothes.

Hearing the door closing, Lin Tian shook his head with a smile, then picked up the Crescent Blade on the floor.

"Rise!" Lin Tian held the Crescent Blade up to his eyes, mentally commanded again.

The Crescent Blade trembled slightly but that was all, didn’t fly out like before. Lin Tian frowned, repeatedly commanding, but the Crescent Blade didn’t rise again.

"Seems still not feasible, it was just a fluke earlier. To control it competently, continued sacrifice is necessary." Lin Tian felt slightly regretful but simultaneously more expectant, recognizing that his efforts were starting to pay off, it was a good beginning.

"This king believes that with Master’s wisdom and valor, the mastery of Sword Control Technique will eventually be yours," the Sword Spirit said motivationally for a change.

"My plan is beyond this. Once I have complete control over the Crescent Blade, I’ll try to fuse it with the Heavenly Tribulation Sword. Thus, controlling the Heavenly Tribulation Sword as I do the Crescent Blade becomes a genuine Sword Control Technique. The Heavenly Tribulation Sword can transform, making it large enough for someone to stand on it, making the dream of Sword Flight feasible," Lin Tian revealed his ’ambition’, or dream, a pursuit for a young zombie girl.

Once I can roam the Nine Heavens, you can’t escape my sight anymore, Lin Tian thought resolutely in his heart; a secret only he knows, the memory-losing girl named Qingyao.

Lin Tian tidied up the bathroom, before continuing with its main theme: bathing.

Bathing, cultivating, sleeping, early the next morning, Lin Tian as usual rose early, just to cultivate facing the morning sun.

He sat cross-legged, the Crescent Blades arranged in an isosceles triangle in front, forming strange hand signs as the beast-skin Cultivation Technique demanded. The essence from the sun fell down like countless fire spirits, as dazzling particles, the essence poured into Lin Tian’s head.

The unabsorbed essence enveloped him, and the Crescent Blades too were wrapped in it.

The Crescent Blade, like a greedy child, is also absorbing the sun’s essence, something never happened before; but ever since Lin Tian established a connection with them, everything began to change slowly. Perhaps, everything altered by his zombie blood obtained a devouring ability.

"Lin Tian, have you gotten up yet, the opening ceremony is about to start," at a crucial moment of sacrifice, outside, the usual urging voice of the little girl sounded again, timely as always.

"Xuanxuan, you go to the ceremony first, I’ll catch up." Lin Tian looked at the Crescent Blades in front of him and responded.
