Invincible! This person has lived for a billion years

William could tell that Alice was trying to show off her new skill in front of him: the water surface suspension technique.
Yes, the water surface suspension technique!
After her recent practice in alchemy, Alice had achieved unprecedented control over her mental power, reaching the peak of advanced Soulmancer level.
In just twenty days, she had progressed from an intermediate to the peak of advanced Soulmancer level, a feat that would qualify her as a genius in any era.
But...
Showing off water surface suspension as a Soulmancer at the peak of advanced level?
That's really not something to brag about!
Aren't advanced level Soulmancers usually capable of flying, moving mountains, and altering landscapes?
Yet, after such a significant improvement in her abilities, Alice still couldn't manage to fly. Considering she's favored by a Cosmic Entity, fused with the energy of an ancient dragon's orb, eats the meat of ancient dragons daily, and receives personal guidance from the Sword Spirit of the Sword of Soulbreaker, is this all she can do?

William thought that even a stray dog picked up from the roadside might have learned to fly by now.
He slowly approached, and Alice still showed no sign of turning around. She even tilted her head back slowly, gazing at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle.
It's over, Alice's delusional syndrome is flaring up again!
William walked to the edge of the lake and lightly touched the water's surface with his toe.
Instantly, a thousand waves surged towards Alice at the center of the lake.
"Ah!" Alice was startled but quickly mobilized her energy, surrounding herself with a barrier of sword energy. The waves crashed over her, yet not a drop of water touched her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHowever, William's action thwarted her attempt to impress. She turned around in a huff and snapped, "What are you doing?"
William retorted, "And what are you doing? I asked you to improve your strength, not to stand on a lake for no reason."
"I... I was just trying to surprise you. I can now stand on the lake effortlessly! Isn't that amazing?" Alice became a bit frantic, having thought William would praise her.
Turns out, she was just overthinking it.
William spoke with a dismissive tone, "Standing on a lake effortlessly? And that's supposed to be very impressive?"
"Ah?" Alice felt insulted.
William, unconcerned, asked, "Can you fly up to the cliff top now?"
Alice instantly stepped in front of William, excitedly saying, "Let me show you the pills I've refined, a total of one thousand and eight."
William turned away, saying, "I don't want to see them!"
Alice was on the verge of tears, thinking, 'Is this how a couple should be? What woman wouldn't be infuriated by such a boyfriend?'
"You can talk about it once you can fly to the cliff top!" William knew what he was doing. He couldn't let Alice think she could slack off just because she had his protection.
Regardless of their relationship, making her stronger was always the right choice.
Over the years, William had many women, but except for a few from the Age of the Gods, none had reached the advanced Soulmancer level. It seemed like a curse, almost ironic.
Now that Alice had finally broken through to the advanced Soulmancer level and was favored by a Cosmic Entity, William genuinely wondered if she could achieve true immortality.
"I'll do it!" Alice, besides practicing alchemy for the past twenty days, hadn't forgotten to attempt flying.
William had sealed the power of the Sword of Soulbreaker, but the flying technique taught by the Sword of Soulbreaker was easy to learn.
The art of flying wasn't that difficult for Alice.
She huffed, waved her hand, and the Sword of Soulbreaker floated in mid-air. Then, holding the hilt, she firmly grasped the sword.
At that moment, the Sword of Soulbreaker still looked like a wooden sword, resembling those used by medieval swordsmanship practitioners.
Back then, many beginners practiced with wooden swords.
William looked up, slightly satisfied. Alice hadn't shown him her flying ability before, probably wanting to surprise him.
"Go to the cliff top!" William said. "I'll wait for you there!"
With that, he disappeared from the spot, reappearing directly on the cliff top.
The mountain was about 10,000 feet high. William waited at the cliff top for around ten minutes before Alice appeared before him.
Is that it?
A speed of one thousand feet per minute?
William had never seen such a graceful flight.
Alice, holding the sword hilt, was actually trembling...
"I've flown up here." After landing safely, Alice was still a bit shaken, but she managed to put on a composed smile. "How was it? Not bad, right?"
William laughed, "Your speed... I really just..."
"Really just what?" Alice, still unsettled and naturally afraid of heights, felt it was already an accomplishment to have flown up. "What about it?"
William nodded, "Really not bad."
Alice sighed in relief, showing a satisfied smile. "You finally know how to speak."
She thought William was going to mock her again.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWilliam said, "Seeing that your strength has improved significantly, tonight you'll take my place in a duel."
"Ah?" Alice felt almost overwhelmed. "Another duel?"
"Why do you say 'another'?" William raised an eyebrow.
Alice spoke wearily, "Why? Don't you know?"
William seemed to be an expert at putting her in tough situations.
Previously, he had her fight someone when she was at an intermediate Soulmancer level against a Demi-God level opponent. It was like a joke. Was he actually trying to get her killed?
William didn't answer her directly. Alice sighed and looked at William warily, asking, "First tell me, what's the strength level of the person I'm supposed to fight?"
"Him? Just an ordinary person. He wanted to compete in swordsmanship with me, but I thought he was too weak, and you happen to need some practice." William said as if it was a matter of fact, "So, I'm giving this opportunity to you. Cherish it."
"Just an ordinary person?" Alice let out a laugh resembling that of a goose. "Then I can handle it."
William nodded, "I also think you can handle it! Go for it!"
Alice smiled happily, "I think so too."
William continued, "First go check on your father, then take a bath, change your clothes, and I'll take you out to eat something. After that, you can compete with him tonight."
He knew very well that Poseidon was also a swordsmanship expert. In the past, if William was considered the best, then Poseidon would be a close second.
Delmar, who had the memories of Poseidon, would certainly not be lacking in pure swordsmanship skills. At least without unleashing the power of the Sword of Soulbreaker, Alice would definitely not stand a chance against him.
Getting beaten was inevitable! Before that, let her enjoy herself comfortably for a while.
Being well-fed before getting beaten would at least not make her look so pitiful.
Of course, William also wanted to conduct a small test.
Alice was now favored by a Cosmic Entity, a true Chosen One.
So, could Delmar, an incarnation of a fragment of Poseidon's divine spirit, harm Alice?
During their sword duel, if Alice's life were threatened, would a thunderbolt strike from the sky and hit Delmar?
