Alex got ready to attack once more. He picked up his sword and started channeling his Qi around his body as per the Smiting Blade technique.
His qi was flowing into the sword at an incredible speed. He had been in a half-dead state when this first happened, so he didn't have to luxury to fully experience what it felt like. But now that he did, it was glorious.
Feeling the Qi slide into the blade with zero resistance was such a cathartic experience. Once the blade was filled to the brim with his Qi, he moved.
In a single step, he reached the wooden puppet and swung his sword.
The sound the hit made was actually quieter than the last time, yet he could tell the damage was much higher. The penetration power of the sword was much higher with the technique, so it didn't hit enough of the wooden puppet to make much sound.
Alex turned around to look at the damage value.
