Spirit Energy of Second-Rank slowly circulated within Dylan's body, nourishing his limbs and bones, making him feel an unprecedented comfort.As the Spirit Energy flowed, Dylan's senses sharpened, and he felt his five senses greatly enhanced; even the subtle movement of a crawling insect dozens of meters away was clearly visible."Dao Cultivation, in essence, should be the path of human evolution towards its limits."Dylan contemplated and thought that the "Dao" of this world was not merely about competing and fighting, but a continuous process of unearthing and enhancing one's own potential.Recalling the records he saw in the Scripture Depository, warriors above Ninth Rank had already begun to touch upon the deeper mysteries of the human body, and each person would forge a different Dao, possessing a unique Dao style."No matter what, the fact that I've become a Second-Rank warrior must be kept absolutely secret."For some unknown reason, Dylan didn't want to expose himself at all.

Dylan opened his eyes slowly. A bright golden light flashed for a moment before fading away into his deep, calm gaze. The air around him was still trembling faintly from the energy that had burst out during his breakthrough. He could feel the difference clearly. He could feel every part of his body was filled with boundless strength, his spirit energy flowed like a mighty river, and even his heartbeat seemed to echo with power.He clenched his fists lightly, and a faint shockwave rippled in the air."So this is the power of a Seventh Rank Warrior," he thought silently. His body felt like a bottomless sea of energy, ready to explode at any time. The power was intoxicating, yet he quickly forced himself to calm down."No," he whispered under his breath. "I must not lose control."A small smile appeared on his lips as he took a deep breath and slowly released it. He knew very well that the Nine Sky Sword Academy was filled with hidden experts. Some teachers were powerful beyond imaginatio

When Mira explained that Star Research Union had discovered that Void Core was the cause of irregular fluctuations in spirit energy, the teachers’ faces turned pale. The principal frowned deeply. “Are you saying the spirit energy imbalance is not natural?”Elder Leon nodded slowly. His voice was calm and deep as he started speaking, "That is correct. If the Void Core continues to weaken, the world’s spirit energy may collapse, or worse... mutate."“Mutate?” one of the teachers asked.“Yes,” Dr. Orion said, folding his hands behind his back. “Spirit energy could turn unstable and violent. It could destroy meridians, damage dantian, and even corrupt the human soul. Cultivators might lose their minds and turn into violent spirit beasts.”"..."Gasps filled the area. Even the principal’s calm expression turned grim.“What does your organization want from us?” Principal Yun asked carefully. After all, there must be a reason why Star Research Union come to the Nine Sky Sword Academy instead

"System, sign in."As soon as Dylan muttered those words, a faint blue light flashed in front of his eyes. A clear, mechanical voice echoed in his mind.[You have successfully signed in at the Sword Ground!][Congratulations, host, for obtaining Thousand Sword Intent!]Dylan’s eyes widened a little.Thousand Sword Intent?"What is that?" he asked in his mind.The system's voice calmly explained.[The Thousand Sword Intent is the supreme will of the sword. It is not just one sword intent, but a fusion of a thousand kinds of sword intents born from the comprehension of countless sword saints. Each sword saint, who reached perfection in their path, left behind a trace of their sword will here. Over thousands of years, these sword wills merged into one ultimate sword intent: the Thousand Sword Intent.][When fused, the host will gain the understanding of all sword paths at once—from the simplest sword swing to the most profound sword law. This intent allows the host to command, comprehend

A calm breeze blew over the Nine Sky Sword Academy as another day began.The sun was bright, the sky clear, and students could be seen training or moving around. But deep underground, the Sword Ground had already changed a little.Dylan slowly walked out from the depths of the Sword Ground. He looked around once more before stepping away. His expression was calm and peaceful. He had already signed in and obtained more than what he had hoped for. There was no need for him to linger any longer.As for the Sword Essence or Sword Spirit Essence that others were searching for, Dylan didn’t care at all. He could get everything he wanted by signing in quietly every month. He didn’t need to risk his life or attract attention.The moment he exited the Sword Ground, Dylan took a deep breath. The sunlight hit his face, and the warmth made him narrow his eyes. It felt good to be outside again. His eyes turned toward the distance, where the tall towers and training fields of the Nine Sky Sword Aca
